In this paper, we present a method to optimize the reliability of a live stream using multiple paths. Compared to other approaches, our method does not rely on feedback to achieve the reliability and thus does not add delay for retransmission attempts. We use the diversity of multiple paths to compensate for the loss of capacity in individual paths. By using an FEC code to generate redundant data the transmission is more robust against fluctuations in capacity of single paths. We present an optimization problem to find a rate allocation for the paths that minimizes the interruptions of the stream. The performance is evaluated in an emulated network based on real-world measurements. The evaluation shows that the theoretical values can be achieved with a small margin. The optimized allocation of rates to the paths increases the reliability by up to 12%.With coding the reliability can be increased by up to 20%, depending on the code rate.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }

A sliding window version of RLNC is proposed where the coded packets are generated using packets in a window size and are inserted among systematic packets in different paths. The packets are scheduled in the paths in a round robin fashion proportional to the data rates. We use finite encoding and decoding window size and do not rely on feedback for closing the sliding window, unlike the previous work. Our implementation of two paths with LTE and WiFi characteristics shows that the proposed sliding window scheme achieves better latency compared to the block RLNC code. It is also shown that the proposed scheme achieves low latency communication through multiple paths compared to the individual paths for bursty traffic by translating the throughput on both the paths into latency gain.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
