Abstract

We propose a protocol for media streaming in wireless IP-capable mobile multi-homed hosts. Next generation wireless networks, like 3G, 802.11a WLAN, and Bluetooth, are the target underlying technologies for the proposed protocol. Operation at the transport layer guarantees TCP-friendliness, error resilience, and independence from-the inner workings of the access technology. Furthermore, compatibility with UMTS and IMT-2000 wireless streaming service models are some of the additional benefits of our approach.
