Rate control for VBR MPEG video on local area networks

Daniel J. Reininger, Wilson Kwok

Abstract

A rate control algorithm for delivery of digital video traffic on local area networks that results on uniform video quality during normal traffic conditions and graceful degradation during periods of congestion is proposed. The algorithm controls a dual rate-control-mode MPEG-2 encoder. This encoder operates in either variable bit-rate (VBR) or joint rate controlled VBR mode.
