Content-aware and network-adaptive video streaming of a ubiquitous middleware

In this paper, we explain the context-aware and network-adaptive video streaming model in our intelligent ubiquitous middleware, SmartUM. We introduce a new method for controlling admissions of clients, extracting bit-streams, and allocating appropriate channels. The proposed method can save system and network resources through studies on scalable video coding techniques. Moreover, the outcomes of this research can be applied to the broadcasting server engine optimized to the 4th generation mobile devices. The component of multiple based scalable video streaming provides the optimal video transmission technique for the next generation network convergence environment in which mobile devices have multiple network interfaces.
