Abstract

This paper proposes two algorithms for multi-video-source in a new mobile P2P architecture for streaming media systems. One is serial, and the other is parallel. When the service peer set providing expected QoS is not empty, the former is called, otherwise the latter is called. The former triggers the video source change event, re-selects a video source, and synchronizes the multi-video-source by the time model of the streaming sequence when QoS is degraded. The latter allows the multiple video sources to concurrently send the data to the receiving peer according to the assigned transmission. Compared to the existing papers, the contribution of this paper is fourfold: (1) the serial and parallel scheduling algorithms, correctly switched according to the actual situation, are firstly proposed; (2) the mobile feature of peers are firstly considered and validated; (3) the client nodes have better and smoother video quality; (4) our algorithms have shorter run time, which is a crucial factor for an on-line system.
