Flow Sensing-Based Congestion Detection for D2D Streaming on a 5G gNB

Abstract

To provide high-quality streaming services in device-to-device (D2D) communications, performance parameters such as encoding rate, decoding rate, and flow rate should be detected and monitored. The proposed algorithm provides a method to detect time streaming for traffic flows in D2D communications, and a sequence to detect rate imbalance. This paper proposes a new FS-CDA (flow sensing-based congestion detecting algorithm) to prevent high congestion rates and assist an optimized D2D streaming service in 5G-based wireless mobile networks. The proposed algorithm detects and controls flow imbalance for streaming segments during D2D communications, and it includes operations such as transmission rate monitoring, rate adjustment functions, and underflow and overflow sensing for these operations. The paper aims to effectively control traffic flow rates caused by adjacent channel bandwidth, high bit rate error, and heterogeneous radio interference, and to enhance the performance of D2D streaming services by performing such operations. The proposed algorithm for D2D streaming services is measured by deriving the individual weight of certain versions of a streaming flow. Based on the given operations, the simulation results indicated that the proposed algorithm has better performance with respect to average congestion control ratio, PSNR, and average throughput than other methods.
