Enhanced UPnP QoS Architecture for Network-adaptive Streaming Service in Home Networks

The existing versions of UPnP QoS architecture have several limitations associated with how they provide QoS-guaranteed streaming service over dynamically time-varying networks. In this paper, an enhanced UPnP QoS architecture is proposed to support network-adaptive media streaming in home networks. The proposed streaming scheme is verified by realizing a prototype implementation over an UPnP streaming testbed.
