Semi-reliable transport protocol for IPTV over mobile WiMAX

摘要

As Internet IPTV extends to mobile devices, suitable transport protocols are sought that can adapt streaming to wireless access networks. This paper proposes a semi-reliable video-rate protocol that provides selective retransmission of scalable video layers should channel packet loss occur. The semi-reliable protocol leads to good video quality and reduces end-to-end delay and start-up delay.
