Multi Path Multi Priority (MPMP) Scalable Video Streaming for Mobile Applications

Video is the predominant data traversing the Internet. Increase in processing power, storage and screen resolution of mobile devices coupled with advances in communication technologies has resulted in proliferation of video applications. Multiple data interfaces on a mobile device can support parallel data streams for high bandwidth and delay sensitive video streaming application. This paper investigates combination of rateless codes with multi priority scalable video to optimize data flow along multiple paths in mobile devices. The results show improved video quality and better resource utilization.
