Abstract

In this paper, we present rate control algorithms designed for real-time media transmission over multiple paths. Our focus is on delivering media content simultaneously across multiple paths while maximizing the network traffic utilization on each path. The proposed algorithms ensure reduced network delay fluctuations, more consistent transmission rates for media content, and fairness to cross-traffic across all paths. To evaluate their performance, the solution is implemented and tested in an emulated networking environment under various test scenarios. The results demonstrate that applying our algorithms leads to reduced network delay fluctuations, improved structural similarity of the received media content, and enhanced fairness toward cross-traffic.
