Multi-source multi-path video streaming over wireless mesh networks

Abstract— In this paper, we propose a multi-source multipath video streaming system to support concurrent Video-onDemand (VoD) services over Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), and approach the route selection problem for such a system using rate-distortion optimized framework. By taking wireless interference into consideration, we capture the characteristics of wireless networks with a more realistic networking model. Based on that, we mathematically formulate the route selection problem, and solve it heuristically using a genetic algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.
