A Mobile Quality-oriented Cooperative Multimedia Delivery Solution

Mobile video traffic is rapidly growing, putting significant pressure on current heterogeneous wireless networks. Common data is traditionally requested by multiple users from server or cache devices. This results in the same data being sent across the network multiple times causing unnecessary congestion. The proposed cooperative solution allows neighbouring devices to share content that was previously received with interested peers. In this paper, a Mobile aware Quality-oriented Cooperative Multimedia Delivery Solution is proposed which allows peer devices to identify neighbouring host devices while considering their own mobility. Simulated testing shows that the solution is capable of identifying the most suitable host while travelling at different speeds and maintaining a suitable quality level by adapting the content to meet network conditions. State-of-the-art comparative studies are outperformed by maintaining good quality with increasing speed in a mobile environment.
