Abstract: Wireless networks are extensively used for communication. Most of the devices that we use for communication are equipped with the wireless network interface and are capable of streaming data efficiently to the device within the communication range. Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is designed for multi-streaming service. In this paper, a Packet Loss Minimising Approach (PLMA-SCTP) based on traffic prediction for multi-streaming application is proposed for the mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) environment. The objective is to reduce data loss and delay in multi-streaming communication. The PLMA-SCTP method aims to provide an efficient route with optimal overhead and delay. Our simulation studies prove that PLMA-SCTP improves the various performance metrics of multi-streaming applications.

Keywords: congestion control; MANET; mobile ad hoc network; multi-streaming; SCTP; stream control transmission protocol; traffic prediction.
