VoD streaming synchronization mechanism with multiple users for service continuity

In this paper, we propose multiple users-based streaming service synchronization mechanism for streaming delivery and synchronization in wire-wireless service environment and analyze the available network performance. Current structure of streaming service for multiple users is not designed to be suitable for the purpose of service continuity. So, multiple users cannot be provided with seamless media experience in wire-wireless service environment. Extending the concept from one user to multiple users, we identify the possibility of service continuity. We introduce the concept of streaming service synchronization, and implement VoD streaming service using proposed synchronized mechanism, and then analyze the available network performance. Finally we discuss the feasibility and practicality in aspect of service deployment.
