EMS: Encoded Multipath Streaming for Real-time Live Streaming Applications
Abstract—Multipath streaming protocols have recently attracted much attention because they provide an effective means to provide high-quality streaming over the Internet. However, many existing schemes require a long start-up delay and thus are not suitable for interactive applications such as video conferencing and tele-presence. In this paper, we focus on real-time live streaming applications with stringent end-to-end latency requirement, say several hundreds of milliseconds. To address these challenges, we take a joint multipath and FEC approach that intelligently splits the FEC-encoded stream among multiple available paths. We develop an analytical model and use asymptotic analysis to derive closed-form, optimal load splitting solutions, which are surprisingly simple yet insightful. To our best knowledge, this is the first work that provides such closed-form optimal solutions. Based on the analytical insights, we have designed and implemented a novel Encoded Multipath Streaming ...
