Abstract :
Video streaming to mobile users is gaining momentum within the communities of both industrial and academic researchers. In a previous research work, the authors proposed a multi-source streaming method for video streaming to mobile users. The focus was on video fragmentation and packet scheduling to avoid packet reordering and packet redundancy. As a continuation to the work, this paper presents a handoff management method to support userspsila mobility and to guarantee continuous and smooth playback of video data for users while they are on move. For performance evaluation, some simulation results are presented.
