Abstract
The paper deals with multimedia synchronization and resource reservation in a mobile network. We present a synchronization protocol for multicast streams. It allows a mobile host to playback continuously a multimedia stream. When a mobile host moves from cell to cell, the scheme allows continuous playback. The mechanism used is based on the pre-buffering of media units. We present a computation of the handoff duration when resource reservation is made in advance
