To optimize LiveKit for LTE networks, consider the following steps:
1.
Use TURN Servers: As per
LiveKit documentation, enabling TURN servers can help maintain connectivity in environments where direct peer-to-peer connections are challenging, such as LTE networks. Ensure that TURN/TLS is enabled to maximize compatibility with corporate firewalls and restrictive networks.
2.
Optimize Video Quality: According to
LiveKit's advanced track settings, enabling simulcast can help by publishing multiple versions of the same video track with different bitrate profiles. This allows LiveKit to dynamically adjust the stream quality based on the recipient's bandwidth, which is particularly useful in variable network conditions like LTE.
3.
Adjust Bitrate and Resolution: Lowering the video resolution and bitrate can reduce the bandwidth requirements, making it easier to maintain a stable connection over LTE. You can configure these settings in the video track publish defaults.
4.
Monitor Network Conditions: Use WebRTC's built-in stats API to monitor network conditions such as packet loss and jitter. This can help identify when network conditions are degrading and allow for dynamic adjustments to the media settings.
5.
Test and Iterate: Conduct thorough testing under real-world LTE conditions to identify the optimal settings for your specific use case. This might involve adjusting the codec settings, enabling or disabling features like adaptive streaming, and monitoring the impact on performance.
