Interference Aware Multipath Selection for Video Streaming in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we propose a novel multipath selection framework for video streaming over wireless ad hoc networks. We propose a heuristic interference-aware multipath routing protocol based on the estimation of concurrent packet drop probability of two paths, taking into account interference between links. Through both simulations and actual experiments, we show that the performance of the proposed protocol is close to that of the optimal solution, and is better than that of other heuristic protocols.
