  • the present invention is generally directed to communications systems. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a system and method for the transmission of layered video data over Quality of Service (QoS) enabled wireless local area networks (WLANs).
  • QoS Quality of Service
  • WLANs wireless local area networks
  • the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network has emerged as a prevailing technology for the (indoor) broadband wireless access for mobile/portable devices.
  • the IEEE 802.11 Working Group has relatively recently developed 802.11e, a supplement to the 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) for supporting QoS, to expand the 802.11 application domain by enabling such applications as voice and video services over wireless local area networks (WLANs).
  • the IEEE 802.11e standard offers seamless interoperability across home, enterprise, and public access networking environments, while still offering features that meet the unique needs of each type of network.
  • IEEE 802.11e is the first wireless standard that spans home and business environments by adding QoS features and multimedia support to the existing IEEE 802.11 standard, while maintaining full backward compatibility with the legacy standard.
  • the QoS support for multimedia traffic is critical to wireless home networks where voice, audio, and video will be delivered across multiple networked home electronic devices and personal computers.
  • Broadband service providers view QoS and multimedia-capable home networks as an essential ingredient to offering residential customers value-added services such as video on demand, audio on demand, voice over IP and high speed Internet access.
  • a traffic specification which characterizes data traffic streams (e.g., data rate, packet size, delay, jitter, service interval, etc.), is utilized as a signaling mechanism to indicate to an access point (AP) the type of wireless networking service to expect.
  • data traffic streams e.g., data rate, packet size, delay, jitter, service interval, etc.
  • AP access point
  • TSPEC negotiation between peer scheduler and MAC layers provides a mechanism for controlling admission, establishment, adjustment and removal of traffic streams. Traffic stream admission control is especially important as there is limited bandwidth available in wireless medium. Bandwidth access must be controlled to avoid traffic congestion, which tends to lead to breaking established QoS and drastic degradation of overall throughput.
  • a scalable representation of video signals consisting of base layer (BL) packets and multiple enhancement layer (EL) packets.
  • the BL packets provide a basic level of quality and can be decoded independently of the enhancement layer EL packets.
  • the enhancement layer EL packets serve only to refine the quality of the base layer BL packets and alone are not useful.
  • the base layer BL packets represent the most critical part of the scalable representation, the performance of streaming applications employing layered representations is sensitive to the loss of BL packets.
  • Wireless transmitters including video encoders generate multi-layer variable rate (VR) video streams with both base layer BL packets containing data that is critical for decoding and enhancement layer EL packets containing data that improves the quality of the video output.
  • the packet frames are sequentially transmitted with the number thereof dependent on variable channel conditions.
  • the packets for a frame must arrive at a receiver to be decoded by a predefined decoding time for the frame in order for the packet to be available for decoding.
  • Conventional TSPEC mechanisms allow for the transmission of variable rate VR video stream.
  • TSPEC mechanisms do not specify when to de-admit or drop an application should the wireless network be unable (due to errors) to honor the negotiated level of service.
  • the TSPEC does not specify between when a single packet is lost and when two or more packets are lost in determining when to de- admit the data traffic stream.
  • the behavior of the scheduler and MAC layers are not fully defined if packets are lost. This means that different implementations will work differently due to at least some of the scheduler/MAC layers possibly de- admitting certain traffic streams that cannot provide the requisite QoS.
  • the present invention addresses the above-noted need and other disadvantages and/or shortcomings associated with the transmission of layered video data over unreliable wireless channels by providing a mechanism to use existing TSPEC signaling in 802.11 along with a flow control algorithm to effectuate flexibility in the presence of time varying channels, and make use of layered representations to improve overall picture quality.
  • the flow control operates to drop enhancement layer EL packets that will not arrive at the receiver for decoding prior to the frame decoding time.
  • the packet scheduler may then schedule the base layer BL packets and remaining enhancement layer EL packets for transmission without the need to determine whether the traffic stream should be de-admitted for inadequate QoS.
  • the flow control feature provides means for effectively transmitting layered video data over unreliable wireless channels.
  • a method for transmitting layered video over QoS enabled wireless local area networks in which a flow control layer is utilized to drop enhancement layer EL packets from a multi-layer variable rate VR video stream having both base layer BL packets and enhancement layer EL packets when a wireless network becomes congested.
  • a system includes an encoder suitable to receive and encode video data into a video bitstream with both base layer BL packets and enhancement layer EL packets, a flow control layer whereby one or more of the enhancement layer EL packets associated with the video stream may be dropped as needed depending upon the state of a wireless medium, a scheduler SE for scheduling the packets, and a MAC layer for preparing the video stream for transmission over the air.
