Enhancing Media Streaming in Wireless Networks using IFW-CFH Algorithm

Abstract

One of the major concerns for service providers and application developer are Quality of experience (QoE), where high traffic congestion on the Internet leads to the degradation of video quality. However, the effectiveness of video transmission is minimized due to the network based on packet loss, bandwidth, and delay. Because of bandwidth limitations, the videos transmitted are obtained in low quality. Meanwhile, various outcomes such as reduction in throughput, re-buffering, or mosaic are determined in packet loss which validated the video streaming obtained in reliable or unreliable mode. Therefore this paper proposes an Improved Fuzzy Weighted queueing based Crossover Fire Hawk (IFW-CFH) algorithm for effective real-time video transmission. The objective of the IFW-CFH approach is to reduce the delay, packet loss, and bandwidth to enhance the video quality via two key mechanisms namely congestion control mechanism as well as packet scheduling mechanism. During the generation of encoded video frames, the packaged packets to the local buffer are transmitted by the scheduler using our proposed IFW-CFH algorithm. Finally, the experimentation is conducted and the results show that the proposed method minimized transmission delay, packet loss, and bandwidth by 13.8% for effective real-time video transmission compared to the existing methods.
