Abstract

The imminent inception of third-generation mobile communication technologies and continual proliferation of wireless local area networks offer an unprecedented opportunity for the development of video streaming applications through wireless Internet access. Different design challenges exist in implementing video streaming connections spanning both wired and wireless domains. This paper proposes a split-domain video transmission protocol to allow streaming video transmission based on adaptive rate encoding over hybrid wired-wireless connections. Computer simulation results are presented to demonstrate the benefits and viability of such a video streaming method over existing transport options.
