Rate adaptation in 3GPP video streaming using track switching over a multihop WLAN

In nowadays communication technologies, one of the main challenges to overcome is how to translate theoretical algorithms, designed protocols, existing hardware products from different manufacturers and the already knowhow into innovative applications that can produce a benefit for the user and for the commercializing firm. Following this topic, the present paper introduces an application that combines different emerging technologies: wireless mesh networks, multihop routing and adaptation of streaming delivery with the objective to create a tool for effective marketing campaigns.
