Abstract

We study the application of multipath routing to enhance reliability of high quality video in 60 GHz radio indoor networks. We propose a cross-layer approach taking into account the possibility of layered-coding for video stream transportation and the characteristics of 60 GHz radio links based on our earlier studies on the stability of 60 GHz radio links. Further three traffic allocation schemes have been investigated and compared for the best use of multipath capacity.
