Abstract

It has become feasible to stream video across a mobile network ad hoc network (MANET). This paper proposes using the H.264 codec's 'redundant frames' video delivery over multi-paths and compares their performance to Video Redundancy Coding, another multi-path technique. The paper reports that 'redundant frames' result in as much as 10 dB improvement in delivered video quality. An interesting secondary result that emerged from experiments was that for all performance indicators Location-Aided Routing (LAR) provides superior performance to the well-known AODV routing protocol.
