Abstract
Many advanced technologies including ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), HARQ (Hybrid ARQ), and AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) have been introduced in modern mobile communication systems, which target to support high-speed streaming services. These services consume a considerable part of resources in core networks and wireless channels. Therefore, an efficient rate control mechanism is necessary. This paper presents a novel cross-layer rate control algorithm which makes use of the aforementioned advanced technologies. The receiver estimates the quality of wireless channels by ARQ information and improves the measurement accuracy of delay with cross-layer design. Packet losses are classified into wireless and congestion losses based on the quality of wireless channels. Following the idea of Delay-Based Congestion Control, the sender adjusts the sending rate according to the tendency of delay variation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing TFRC-like schemes in the terms of loss rate control and throughput.
