Experiences With MPEG-4 Multimedia Streaming

Tags: cable modem, wireless networks, qos, applications

Overview With the advent of next-generation multimedia technologies such as very-low bit rate MPEG-4 codec, multimedia streaming of high-quality video and audio has become a near-term reality. The high compression ratio and error resilience offered by the MPEG- 4 standard promise near-term popularity for rich contents and exceptional quality to consumers over affordable Internet connections, such as xDSL, cable modem and 3G wireless networks. Audio and video streaming applications are at the center of such scenarios; and Quality-of-Service (QoS) support in such applications is critical to their widespread acceptance. To the best of one's knowledge, there has been no existing open-source MPEG-4 multimedia streaming applications in the academic community, which leads to the lack of research results using MPEG-4 streaming, especially with respect to Quality-of-Service support.
