Abstract :
We describe an architecture for the hierarchical distribution of multimedia broadcasts in the future mobile Internet. The architecture supports network as well as application-layer mobility solutions, and uses stream control functions that are influenced by available network resources, user-defined preferences and application-level streaming policies. We implement the architecture in two environments, one with and one without Mobile IP support.
