Abstract

This paper briefly presents a P2P application for the live streaming of video contents encoded at multiple bit-rates, enabling neighboring cellular devices to increase the quality of video playback, by cooperatively using their cellular (e.g. HSDPA) and proximity (e.g. Wi-Fi Direct) wireless connections. The application is designed to exploit key functionalities of an Information Centric Network: routing-by-name, in-network caching and multicasting. We implemented a prototype of the application and assessed its performance in a test-bed based on Linux, the CCNx tool and real cellular connections.
