METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE STREAMING BASED ON HYBRID TCP AND UDP IN MULTIPLE NARROWBAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

An apparatus for adaptive streaming in multiple narrowband wireless communication environment comprises a communication unit configured to perform multi-communication with a server using a TCP and an UDP, a network monitor unit configured to collect state information on each of a plurality of narrowband networks, and a parameter control unit configured to: based on the collected state information on each of the plurality of narrowband networks, select a quality of video segment to be requested and one of the TCP protocol and the UDP protocol to be used in each of the plurality of narrowband networks, or determine a data size of redundant data for data loss restoration for each of the plurality of narrowband networks.
