3
Problem Definition Define problem as an optimization to select a joint strategy across multiple OSI layers (PHY, MAC and APP) One-hop wireless network where network and transport layers play less important roles.
4
Problem Definition Autonomous Wireless Stations (WSTAs) = M, Available wireless resources = R ∈ R +, Channel condition experienced by WSTA i = SNR i, Video source characteristics = ξ i, Current state information (private information) of WSTA i = x i = (SNR i, ξ i ) Resource allocation = T( R ) = [t 1,……,t M ] ∈ R + M Time allocation by resource coordinator to WSTA i = t i (0 <= t i <= t SI ) (PCF or other contention)
5
Problem Definition Given the above constraints, the cross layer design problem may be formulated as an optimization with objectives like maximizing goodput or minimizing consumed power etc. If s i is the cross layer strategy available to WSTA i from a set S i then given x i and t i, s i will result in a utility u i (t i,s i,x i )
6
Problem Definition The optimal cross layer strategy can be found by maximizing the video quality in terms of perceived quality or PSNR Mathematically, s i opt = arg max u i (t i,s i,x i ) s i ∈ S i such that Delay(t i,s i,x i ) <= Delay i max

Motivation for Optimal Strategy The above functions u i (t i,s i,x i ) and Delay(t i,s i,x i ) are non-deterministic, non-linear, complex and multi-variate optimization. The strategies to solve them must take into account different practical considerations like buffer sizes, modulation schemes etc. and should be procedurally grouped and ordered for cross layer optimization.

10
Categorization of Cross Layer Solutions Possible solutions based on the order in which cross layer optimization is performed: – Top-down approach – Bottom-up approach – Application-centric approach – MAC-centric approach – Integrated approach
11
Top-down approach Higher layer protocols optimize their parameters and strategies at the next lower layer. Very widely used for example in systems where APP dictates MAC parameters and MAC selects optimal PHY parameters.
12
Bottom-up approach Lower layers try to insulate higher layers from losses and bandwidth variations. Not optimal due to incurred delays and throughput reductions.
13
Application-centric approach APP layer optimizes parameters of lower layers one at a time in either top-down or bottom-up manner. Not optimal since APP layer operates on slower timescales and coarser data granularities.
14
MAC-centric approach MAC layer decides which APP layer packets should be transmitted with which delay along with selecting PHY layer parameters. MAC layer is unable to perform adaptive source channel coding
15
Integrated approach Strategies are determined jointly across various protocols. Complex and introduces delays.

17
MAC Layer Retransmission Limit Adaptation To maximize video quality, minimize the MAC packet loss rate (PLR). MAC packet losses occur due to: – Link erasures – Buffer overflows Define a strategy to optimally select retransmission limit R that minimizes the overall MAC packet loss.

21
MAC Layer Retransmission Limit Adaptation From Fig 1 we note that the optimal R is located at the point where p B (R) = p L (R) (intersection) Thus, optimal R = arg min R |p B (R) - p L (R)| (3)
22
MAC Layer Retransmission Limit Adaptation Li et. al. [2] performed empirical analysis using M/G/1 queuing model and proposed real-time retransmission limit optimization (RTRO) algorithm: 1.The network queue and the MAC layer monitor the overflow rate p B (R) and the packet error rate p L (R). 2.If p B p L, then R should be decreased

24
Joint Application-MAC Cross Layer Optimization By associating different retransmission limits to different priority packets the MAC-layer RTRO optimization can be jointly optimized by the APP layer.
25
Joint Application-MAC Cross Layer Optimization Tolerable MAC packet loss rates of all video layers = P V = [P V1 P V2 … P VN ] Video quality = Q To maximize Q Unequal Error Protection (UEP) must be provided. To provide UEP multiple priority queues are maintained with a common absolute Priority- Queuing (PQ) discipline.

Joint Application-MAC Cross Layer Optimization
27
The above model can be further extended to include a multiqueue system based on which a systematic retry-limit configuration method for MAC can be determined to optimize video quality.

Cross layer design can be modeled as a multivariate optimization problem expressed in the form of various strategies to maximize perceived quality and improve user experience. Cross layer solutions can be categorized into various approaches based on a layer dictating strategies and parameters for other layers. MAC-layer optimization yields improved video quality. MAC-APP layer optimization performs even better.
