Description & Coverage
Description:

The number of users who rely on the Internet to deliver multimedia content has grown significantly in recent years. As this consumer demand grows, so, too, does our dependency on a wireless and streaming infrastructure which delivers videos, podcasts, and other multimedia.

Streaming Media with Peer-to-Peer Networks: Wireless Perspectives offers insights into current and future communication technologies for a converged Internet that promises soon to be dominated by multimedia applications, at least in terms of bandwidth consumption. The book will be of interest to industry managers, and will also serve as a valuable resource to students and researchers looking to grasp the dynamic issues surrounding video streaming and wireless network development.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Advances in Peer-to-Peer Video Streaming
  • Broadcast and Multicast in P2P Mobile Networks
  • Case studies of Mobile Peer-to-Peer Systems
  • Cross-layer design of P2P Overlays
  • Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
  • P2P for MANETs and/or VANETs
  • Peer-to-peer over broadband, cellular, and/or wireless LANs
  • Peer-to-peer streaming in Mobile Networks
