ABSTRACT

Conversational real-time applications like VoIP (Voice over IP) and videoconferencing require new challenges in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks such as Internet. Quality of video delivered over the Internet has been determined in terms of Quality-of-Service (QoS) and Quality-of-Experience (QoE). QoS includes packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, throughput, routing overhead, etc. QoE is a qualitative measure of videos transmitted over Internet. In this paper, the performance comparison of AODV, OLSR and ZRP are carried out on H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video streaming under both Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and Enhanced Distributed Coordination Function (EDCF) using NS2.34 and Enhanced EvalVid framework. These protocols have been selected for simulation due to their edges over alternative protocols in numerous aspects.
