Abstract

Transmitting video content over Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) faces a great number of challenges caused by strict QoS (Quality of Service) requirements and highly dynamic network topology. In order to tackle these challenges, multipath forwarding schemes can be regarded as potential solutions. However, route coupling will severely impair the performance of multipath schemes. In this work, we present a LocatIon-Aware multIpaTH videO streamiNg (LIAITHON) scheme to address video streaming over urban VANETs. LIAITHON uses location information to discover two relatively short paths with minimum route coupling effect. The performance results have shown it outperforms the underlying single path solution as well as the node-disjoint multipath solution.
