Abstract

In the recent years, there has been an increasing demand for streaming high quality multimedia content over wireless networks. Demand for triple play services (voice, video, data) by a number of simultaneously communicating users often results in lack of acceptable multimedia quality. In addition, the large transmission distance and the limited battery power of the hand-held wireless device serves as a major bottleneck over transmitting video directly from the network operator to the end-users. There has been no successful mechanism developed till date that would provide live video streaming over wireless networks. In this paper, clusterDAM – a novel cluster-based architecture is proposed for delivering adaptive multimedia content over two-hop wireless networks. An intermediate relay node serves as a proxy-client-server between the base station and the mobile users which ensures that the multimedia delivery is adapted in real-time according to the channel conditions and the quality of the multimedia content. An extensive simulation-based analysis with different kinds of network traffic and protocols indicate that the cluster-DAM architecture is significantly superior to the traditional single-hop design, not only in terms of the perceived video quality, but also in terms of the loss rate and the average bit rate.
