Future Works

The assumption on source rate control and radio resource assignment may be impractical for a realistic system. The source rate control could be revised by introducing the Internet delay and channel model to form a streaming traffic model in the base station.

Besides, the air-link rate assignment should also take the radio resource management into consideration, especially for a mixed-traffic system. In addition, the impact of base station queue should be included such that the transmission behavior meets the practical scenarios.

Moreover, the RLP frame error and the delay caused by RLP frame retransmission should be identified, too. With the presence of error, the impact of error-processing behavior of the decoder on the perceptual quality could be quantified at the same time. Eventually, all these studies could be applied to the future system to perform better control in the MAC layer while optimizing the video streaming application.
