Untersuchung Adaptiver Multimedia-Anwendungen über UMTS

This study explores the use of an adaptive multimedia application over UMTS through the UMTS Radio Link Emulator. It focuses on QoS frameworks, UMTS demonstrator objectives and concepts, architecture, and radio link emulation. The demonstration showcases the configuration and monitoring tool, application middleware, and end-to-end application implementation.

  5. UMTS Demonstrator - Objectives • Joint evaluation and optimization of UMTS packet data services and multimedia applications • Real-time UMTS radio link emulation is required for the evaluation of • interactive applications, • control loop performance of adaptive applications. • Support of standard applications: • IP interface • QoS support for QoS-unaware IP applications

  6. UMTS Demonstrator - Concepts • Real-time UMTS radio link emulation running on Linux PC, multimedia applications on Laptops, all connected by LAN • Layer 1/2 UMTS radio protocol stack emulation for user plane data traffic, including: • RLC segmentation & ARQ • MAC scheduling • PHY bit-error injection • QoS flow concept: individual QoS setting for each TCP or UDP data flow WLAN LAN Application Client Application Server “UMTS Proxy”

Configuration & Monitoring Tool Multimedia Data, Control & Signaling Multimedia Data, Control & Signaling UDP TCP IP UDP TCP IP UMTS Radio Link Emulation UMTS Demonstrator - Architecture Application Client Application Server UMTS Proxy Configurator UMTS Proxy IP Kernel Module LAN LAN IP Dispatcher UMTS Module IP Address Translation & Checksum

  8. QoS Flows Concept Problem: current applications do not support QoS procedures. Each TCP or UDP connection is treated as an individual flow: • Flows are distinguished by source/destination IP address and port numbers. • To each flow, an individual service is assigned: • A service is defined by UMTS Traffic Class and maximum bit-rate. • Services are mapped to UMTS radio link protocol parameters. • Example: differentiation between TCP call setup and UDP data streaming

  9. Emulated UMTS Services Mapping of UMTS Traffic Class and bit-rate to radio protocol parameters:

  10. UMTS Radio Link Emulation IP packet from IP translation to IP Flow identification Database: Service parameters Frame error model parameters Error gap distributions IP queues UMTS Layers: RLC MAC PHY RLC error control & re-assembly RLCsegmentation on demand retransmission requests MAC scheduling CRC flags frame PHY frame error model & bit error injection

  11. Scenarios Events Frame Error Model Error Model Database Parameters if frame error Bit Error Model Bit error pattern PHY Emulation • Real-time emulation required • Nested model for the output of the channel decoder • Error model parameters: • derived from link-level simulations • database for various scenarios

  12. Configuration & Monitoring Tool

  13. Example - Video Streaming IP-based streaming & videophone applications: • Some but limited delay • UDP transport  packet loss • Application specific control loops: • error control by buffering, retransmission, and slow bitrate adaptation • designed for Internet congestion • inefficient for wireless link • Standards & implementations: • RTP/RTCP, RTSP • Real Video Streaming • Windows Media Streaming • MS NetMeeting (H.323)

  14. Applications Windows Media Streaming: multiple bitrate stream: 26/40/60/80/120/200/300 kbps(audio: 8 kbps) buffer:  3 seconds Real Video Streaming: multiple bitrate stream:20/34/45/80/150/225/350/450 kbps(audio: 5-32 kbps) buffer:  3 seconds UMTS Proxy Frame error model: PB = 0.01, LB = 2, Service: Streaming 128 kbps, RLC ARQ off Streaming 128 kbps, RLC ARQ on Streaming 64 kbps, RLC ARQ on buffer: 3 seconds (48 kB / 24 kB) Example Session - Parameters

  20. IP Interface • IP Kernel Module: • Modification of Linux IP kernel • Table of Client/Server IP address pairs: IP packets arriving at the UMTS Proxy from these hosts are forwarded to the UMTS Module. • IP header address translation: • Uplink: Client  Proxy to Proxy  Server • Downlink: Server  Proxy to Proxy  Client • Client and Server both assume the corresponding peer is running on the Proxy host. • Optional: IP address translation within TCP payload (H.323, FTP) • Checksum re-calculation: • Before error-injection: injected bit-errors result in checksum errors at the receiver and TCP or UDP packet delay or loss, respectively. • After error-injection: forwarding of bit-errors into an error resilient application.

  21. UMTS Traffic Classes

  22. UMTS QoS Attributes • traffic class • max. bitrate • guaranteed bitrate • SDU delivery order • maximum SDU size • SDU format • SDU error ratio • residual BER • delivery of erroneous SDUs • SDU transfer delay • traffic handling priority • allocation/retention priority

  23. Supported Applications • Standard IP applications (ftp, telnet, etc.) • Web browsing • MS NetMeeting • Real Video Streaming • Windows Media Services • Video enhanced messaging (“miLife”) ... most IP based multimedia application are configurable to run through the UMTS Proxy!
