Abstract

User expectations pertaining to multimedia data is huge. Issues in streaming like slow start and buffering hinder the quality of received content. Many authors have addressed the buffering issues. Their solutions in order to avoid buffering focussed on reducing the received multimedia quality in an attempt to avoid buffering. In this proposed work, quality issues in multimedia streaming have been focussed upon in WLAN-4G networks. A modified cat swarm optimization algorithm for optimal server selection (MCSO-SS) has been proposed to maximize the multimedia quality in terms of quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). The proposed technique has been tested in a heterogeneous wireless environment that includes WLAN and 4G cellular networks. Experimental results prove that our proposed MCSO-SS based streaming technique increases the received multimedia content quality compared to existing techniques in terms of QoS (delay, throughput, service failure rate), and QoE (PSNR, SSIM).
