Improving performance of MPEG-based stream by SCTP multi-streaming mechanism

To prevent decoding failure of MPEG-based applications caused by error propagation, the present study modifies multi-streaming mechanism of SCTP protocol and proposes a transmission control approach which can adjust transmission policy dynamically according to the quality of service requirement of individual frame. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed scheme can improve the performance of MPEG-based video stream by modified SCTP multi-streaming mechanism.
