Real-time generation of synthetic MPEG-4 video traffic using wavelets

Abstract

This paper presents a wavelet-based video traffic model capable of real-time generation of synthetic MPEG-4 video traffic streams. The strength of the model includes a unified approach to LRD (long range dependence) and SRD (short range dependence) modelling, computational efficiency and benefits associated with the on-line aspect of the model, e.g. no storage requirements. The model accurately estimates system performance for every video quality considered.
