Abstract

Widespread and affordable mobile broadband access opens up opportunities for delivery of new streaming services everywhere and anytime. However, what is expected to fundamentally change the way how people use the network is the ability to produce, and seamlessly deliver and share their own multimedia content. In this paper we describe the content distribution and adaptation architecture that we have implemented and tested, the results utilising new coding formats of video coding (e.g. SVC, MVC) and new methods for increasing the robustness of video delivery.
