Abstract :
A simultaneous real-time data delivery (SRTDD) control scheme that is based on a real application scenario developed in the Multimedia Communications Research Laboratory at the University of Ottawa is addressed. SRTDD refers to simultaneously delivering multimedia data in different data streams belonging to the same time interval. It is one of the basic synchronization problems involved in multimedia distributed systems. The details of the SRTDD problem are investigated. Based on the new control scheme for multimedia data delivery constraints on the size of the synchronization control unit are obtained. The segment delivery protocol is developed. A practical segmentation method is introduced for real-time voice and video. A performance analysis of the delivery protocol with this segmentation method is also conducted
