The simulation study on the multipath adaptive video transmission

Abstract

The article presents simulation studies of multipath video transmission implemented as a live monitoring system based on adaptive streaming mechanisms. The transmission network consists of the Wi-Fi infrastructure and a single LTE cell. Both wireless networks are used during the operation of the video monitoring system. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to compare the features of two currently used multipath transmission protocols, MultiPath Quick UDP Internet Connections (MPQUIC) and MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) in the context of their use in adaptive video streaming systems. Also, the article contains a summary of the perceived advantages and disadvantages of using several transmission networks simultaneously for the implementation of video surveillance and monitoring systems.
