Abstract
The recent Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard, thanks to the provision of high data rates, will enable future immersive and interactive multimedia applications over wireless. In this paper, we study the performance of 2D and 3D video transmission over LTE networks. The LTE standard bandwidth ranges are considered in order to explore the impact of the LTE bandwidth scalability on the transmission of 2D and 3D video traffic to the end users. This dependency is investigated through the packet loss ratio (PLR) and average throughput as user-oriented metrics, and the cell spectral efficiency as a system-oriented metric. Furthermore, a PLR-based Admission Control (AC) strategy is introduced in the system for which the achieved trade-off between the system resource utilization and the quality level provided to the different users is investigated. The simulation results provide guidelines for combining bandwidth scalability and admission control strategies in LTE networks in order to achieve high system resource utilization and video quality for the LTE users.
