APPLICATION-LEVEL BROADCASTING OF MULTIMEDIA CHANNELS IN FUTURE MOBILE SYSTEMS
Abstract
This paper discusses ongoing efforts to develop an application-layer platform that facilitates the distribution of multimedia streams across heterogeneous mobile environments. The central concept of our work is the "technology domain," which comprises a collection of resources that cater to mobile clients utilizing a specific wireless communication technology. We explore the policy mechanisms implemented by these domains to (a) control the availability and perceptual quality of broadcast content channels, and (b) regulate the client-side adaptation mechanisms for transitioning between different quality levels. Our future research will focus on how these adaptation strategies function when mobile clients transition between different technology domains.
