7. Conclusion
In this paper, we proposed a novel cross layer approach named EMSCNC for modeling network coding in a wireless network. EMSCNC requires two workflows associated respectively to the sourcenode and the Intermediate-node. It aims to improve the performance of multicast transmission for video streaming in MANET. It can significantly improve the PDR, PSNR, end-to-end-delay, Jitter, throughput and hence the QoS of multicast video. Additionally, the proposed scheme provides significant improvement on network performance under different receivers. We also examined the effect of QP variation on the delay and received video quality. Moreover, as HD is becoming popular, we consider the HD resolution videos in our experiments. Results show that EMSCNC outperforms other NC schemes. Furthermore, we have proposed an analytical model to evaluate the performance for the average delay, throughput, PSNR and PDR for EMSCNC. Results show a close agreement between the performance evaluated by the analytical model and by simulations of EMSCNC. As an extension of this work, we will investigate the utilization of EMSCNC in multicast wireless network with multi source nodes using a variety of sequence videos. Moreover, H.264/SVC is open source. Hence, we will implement our new framework in some mobile devices and evaluate the performance of the proposed approach in real environment. In addition, we will integrate the HEVC encoded video to investigate the pertinence of the proposed EMSCNC.
