Abstract:

Nowadays, video streaming is one of the most populated service in mobile internet, accounting for about 50% of total mobile data traffic. This motivates us to perform simulation and analysis of video streaming performance over LTE network. Most popular video streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix use HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS). ns-3 is one of the most widely used new models of network simulators due to its rich network library and basic traffic generator models such as on-off traffic model. Thus it satisfies the need for HAS traffic generator framework for mobile networks.
