Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of streaming packetized media through a proxy server to a mobile client over multiple wireless channels. We follow a rate-distortion optimized streaming approach. A real-time sender-driven streaming framework is employed at the proxy server to maximize the playback quality at the client. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the video quality by 1.3-3dB as compared to the conventional system which simply transmits the video data in the order they are displayed.
