| contents | Traditional congestion control algorithms struggle to maintain the consistent and satisfactory data transmission performance over time-varying networking condition. Simultaneously, as video traffic becomes dominant, the loose coupling between the DASH framework and TCP congestion control results in the un-matched bandwidth usage, thereby limiting video streaming performance. To address these issues, this paper proposes a receiver-driven congestion control framework named Nuwa. Nuwa deploys the congestion avoidance phase at the receiver-side, utilizing one-way queueing delay detection to monitor network congestion and setting specific target delays for different applications. Experimental results demonstrate that, in most cases, with appropriate parameter configuration, Nuwa can improve the throughput of TCP flows 4% to 15.4% and reduce average queueing delay by 6.9% to 29.4%. Furthermore, we also introduce the use of reinforcement learning to dynamically adjust Nuwa's key parameter , enhancing Nuwa's adaptability to the unpredictable environment. |
