Abstract :
A mobile streaming media content delivery network can facilitate the access of rich multimedia streams by mobile users on next generation wireless networks. A principal component of this network is the edge servers that cooperate to provide streaming functionalities. This paper describes some of the design requirements for such servers. It then describes the architecture of such a streaming content, a modular design, and an intelligent scheduler for providing better video quality in varying network conditions. Finally, preliminary performance results are shown.
