Abstract

We present a design for a system that provides video-on-demand (VOD) services to mobile ad hoc clients. Such a system allows the clients to access video information anytime anywhere. MobiVoD, the proposed solution, overcomes many difficulties currently challenging video streaming in a mobile ad hoc network. The new environment includes a three-tier architecture, in which the mobile VOD system employs a periodic broadcast protocol to achieve maximum scalability; and the clients leverage an ad hoc network caching technique to minimize the service delay. This system can sustain client failure and mobility, and provide true VOD services to most clients.
