Exploiting Diversity to Enhance Multimedia Streaming Over Cellular Links

Overview Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs) are becoming ubiquitous across most geographic regions, enabling simultaneous coverage from multiple providers. WWAN channels exhibit both uncorrelated and correlated behaviour on a variety of levels. This paper examines the statistical properties of WWAN links, and illustrates the benefits in heterogeneity that can be exploited to improve statistical throughput and Multimedia quality. The results are based on real network measurements. This paper describes the design and implementation of a high quality multimedia streaming application that implements WWAN streaming optimisations utilising Unequal Error Protection coding techniques and it evaluate the performance over an operational WWAN network.
