Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile nodes communicating through wireless medium, without any fixed centralized infrastructure. Providing quality of service (QoS) support to multimedia streaming applications over MANETs is vital. This paper focuses on QoS support, provided by the stream control transmission protocol (SCTP) and the TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) protocol to multimedia streaming applications over MANETs. In this study, three QoS parameters were considered jointly: (1) packet delivery ratio (PDR), (2) end-to-end delay, (3) and throughput. Specifically, the authors analyzed and compared the simulated performance of the SCTP and TFRC transport protocols for delivering multimedia streaming over MANETs. Two simulation scenarios were conducted to study the impact of traffic load and node speed (mobility) to their performance. Based on the simulation results, the authors found that the PDR and the end-to-end delay of TFRC are slightly better than those of SCTP in both scenarios. Additionally, the performance of SCTP is significantly better than TFRC in terms of throughput.

Transport Layer Protocols

Real-time video communication has become one of the most significant applications extensively used by homogeneous/heterogeneous wireless network technologies, such as Wi-Fi, the Internet of things, the wireless sensor network (WSN), 5G, etc. This leads to enhanced deployment of multimedia streaming applications over wireless network technologies. In order to accomplish the optimal performance of real-time multimedia streaming applications over the homogeneous/heterogeneous wireless network, it is therefore necessary to develop a simulation tool-set that effectively measures the quality of service (QoS) for different multimedia streaming applications over transport layer protocols. This paper proposes an autonomous simulation tool (AST) that is entirely independent from the source code of transport layer protocols. Furthermore, the AST is integrated into NS-2 to evaluate the QoS of real-time video streaming over numerous transport layer protocols and it uses new QoS measurement tools to test the video delivery quality based on I-frames to speeds up the assessment of multimedia streaming quality and ensure high accuracy of performance metrics. The simulation results show that using the AST to simulate real-time multimedia stream results in between 13% and 36% higher delivery ratio and 150–250% less cumulative jitter delay compared with using baseline simulation tools. Also, the AST guarantees an optimal QoS performance measurements in terms of the peak signal-to-noise Ratio and visual quality of the received video.
