Abstract :
Our new multimedia transmission and synchronization scheme for parallel servers in a wireless environment enables servers to store MPEG-4 data according to video-object-plane type. The goal of our research, therefore, was to develop an enhanced multimedia transmission scheme that can cope with load imbalance, congestion, and jitter. Accordingly, we evaluated three issues: data striping, priority queuing, and multimedia synchronization.
