Scalable Video Streaming over Mobile WiMAX

—In this paper, we will investigate the performance of scalable video streaming services in mobile WiMAX systems. We will show that for each user the implementation of multiple connections with feedback information of the available transmission bandwidth is critical for supporting H.264/AVC-based scalable video streaming in which the transmission packets can be further separated into multiple levels of importance. Based on a mobile WiMAX simulation platform including both the video encoder/decoder server and IEEE 802.16e MAC controls, the MAC performance evaluation and subjective test are used to quantify the visual performance between two-connection and one-connection scenarios.
