User-Centric Network-Application Interaction for Live HD Video Streaming

  • Conference paper
Book cover Mobile Networks and Management (MONAMI 2012)

Abstract

Applications and resource allocation within the network become more and more flexible in supporting divergent user demands. This is reflected by state-of-the-art video codecs like H.264/SVC which allow a dynamic adaptation of the video quality and therewith the required network resources. Within the network, techniques like network virtualization and multipath data transport allow flexible allocation of network resources based on application demands. This paper outlines the potential of the interaction between application and network with an example of a scalable video streaming service and a multipath transport network.

The work has been conducted in the project G-Lab, funded by the German Ministry of Educations and Research (Förderkennzeichen 01 BK 0800, G-Lab) and within the G-Lab project COMCON, funded by the German Ministry of Educations and Research (F’̈oerderkennzeichen 01BK0918, G-Lab). The authors alone are responsible for the content of the paper.
