A New Congestion Control Approach on TFRC Over Wired and Wireless Networks

For advanced streaming applications over wired-wireless networks TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) has been widely adopted nowadays to give smooth sending rate and unceasing quality in streaming applications TFRC applies an equation-based rate control scheme. However, TFRC tends to fail in wireless environment if packet lost event was done by poor channel quality but network congestion. Therefore, TFRC not able to provide high quality-of-service for streaming applications over wired-wireless networks. In this paper, the authors proposed a delay based uni-directional delay jitter based TFRC with end-to-end semantic over wired-wireless networks.
