Seamless Transport for Wireless IPTV Video Streaming

چکیده
Prior investigation of video streaming over wireless networks has assumed a single access point and a homogeneous wireless technology. With multi-homed devices and the harmonizing influence of IEEE 802.21, it is now becoming possible to offer seamless video streaming. The paper presents a video streaming transport scheme that is more capable of exploiting the expected reduced latencies of IPTV content distribution networks. Simulations show the consistent superiority in terms of reduced packet loss and video quality of a simple NACK-based scheme over a traditional congestion controller and baseline UDP transport. Results are shown without and with vertical handover between a WiMAX base station and a WiFi access point.

Vertical Handover Efficient Transport for Mobile IPTV
The success of IPTV suggests that an expansion to mobile devices is likely. A key difference between IPTV delivery to mobile devices and broadband access is the possibility of vertical handovers, which can cause disruption to real-time video streaming. This paper proposes a lightweight form of IPTV transport based on negative acknowledgments. The performance of the scheme is analyzed in compari...
متن کاملAdaptive Broadband Wideo Streaming for IPTV Wireless Access
Broadband wireless access supports mobile applications, which may soon extend to Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). IPTV streaming from a localized server is likely to be across a wired path through a metro network before crossing the wireless link. In this scenario, the paper proposes Broadband Video Streaming (BVS), which enhances UDP transport with a single, negatively acknowledged, lost packet re...
متن کاملThe Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...
