Real-time multimedia transport has stringent bandwidth, delay, and loss requirements. It is a great challenge to support such applications in wireless ad hoc networks, which are characterized by frequent link failures and congestion. Using multiple paths in parallel for a real-time multimedia session (called multipath transport) provides a new degree of freedom in designing robust multimedia transport systems. In this article, we describe a novel schema for multipath video transport over wireless ad hoc networks. The main idea of this work is based on transferring video through two disjoint paths using AOMDV. In each of these paths we use video proxy nodes as video caches. The duty of these nodes is to receiving and recognizing video streams, buffering of favorite streams and if possible managing errors locally.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
