METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING TARGET BITRATE USING CONGESTION CONTROL BASED ON FORWARD PATH STATUS

摘要

A method is provided for determining target transmit rate for a forward path for packet transmission to a receiver, performed at a transmitter and includes receiving, from the receiver, a feedback message including information on a packet previously transmitted by the transmitter, estimating a metric for determining a status of the forward path based on the received feedback message, determining the status of the forward path based on the metric, determining the target transmit rate for the forward path based on the status of the forward path, and controlling a transmit rate by the transmitter of the packet to the receiver at the target transmit rate, wherein the metric reflects characteristics associated with the forward path from which influence by a backward path which is a path that the feedback message is transmitted is removed.
