Abstract

In IEEE 802.11 wireless channel, and under the assumption of ideal channel, packets are lost when it exceeds the maximum retry attempt. Such packet losses lead to degradation in the transmitted video quality. This paper provides an analytical approach to estimate the video quality distortion due to the packet losses in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. The analytical approach is based on the use of two-state Markov chain model combined with the ITU-T Recommendation G.1070 for video quality objective measurements. Our approach provides a relationship between the design parameters of IEEE 802.11 wireless channels and the required video quality.
