Design and implementation of a streaming media system for symbian based smartphone

As the multimedia and network techniques having greatly developed, people could enjoy more and more media services from Internet every day, especially the streaming media service [1]. The main obstacle of utilization of this service is related to area limitation, the solution of the problem proposed in this paper is to port stream media-client application to mobile Symbian operating system (OS-based) platform. This approach declines the limitation related to network access availability and allows achieving all benefits of smart telephony and mobile Internet within the same portable wireless device. The system is designed under the client/server (C/S) structure based on real-time transport protocol (RTP) family protocols [2]. The system could provide kinds of streaming media services under hybrid mobile Internet with good performance and support multi-user concurrency stably. © 2010 The Journal of China Universities of Posts and Telecommunications.
