This memo describes a rate adaptation algorithm for conversational
media services such as video. The solution conforms to the packet
conservation principle and uses a hybrid loss and delay based
congestion control algorithm. The algorithm is evaluated over both
simulated Internet bottleneck scenarios as well as in a Long Term
Evolution (LTE) system simulator and is shown to achieve both low
latency and high video throughput in these scenarios.
2. Review and Consensus
The document has been reviewed of the RMCAT WG and there have been no
controversial points.

4. Other Points
This document is experimental, as a number of technical parameters have to be
tested under real network conditions, as described in Section 7. "Suggested
experiments." The current set of parameters and algorithms have been mainly
evaluated in a simulator. The WG will collect the feedback from first
experiments using SCREAM and use them to discuss futher steps.
