Abstract

Mobile multimedia streaming services have become the main reason behind the latest increase in mobile data traffic worldwide. The enormous user base, frequency of data exchange, and demand for high-quality multimedia content open up new challenges to offer good QoS levels in mobile multimedia streaming systems. This article presents an innovative SMMC that integrates performance factors with aspects such as demand, socialization, mobility, and delivery. Simulation results demonstrate that SMMC achieves high content sharing efficiency and increased QoS levels.
