Abstract

Multimedia transport has stringent bandwidth, delay, and loss requirements. It is a great challenge to support such applications in reconfigurable wireless networks (RWNs). Using multiple paths in parallel for multimedia transport provides a new degree of freedom in designing robust multimedia transport systems. In this paper, we provide a multi-path extension to zone routing protocol (ZRP) to support video transmission over RWNs. We compare ZRP and our multi-path routing scheme by using NS-2 simulator. The experiments show that our method is effective in improving the robustness of video transport over RWNs.
