The Impact of QoS on Stored Video Streaming Over a Heterogeneous Network

Abstract

Most of the mobile devices have been supported by the multiple wireless technologies that were in vogue.  Majority of the mobile users while traveling within the different networks are anticipating an uninterrupted audio/video streaming facility. The heterogeneous network has come across with the vertical handoff (VHO) owing to the mobility of devices in various networking coverage environments. It is difficult job to provide a continuous online video streaming i.e., service continuity throughout handoffs. We have assessed handoff by making use of cross-layer (MIH) framework for smooth mobility. We have streamed both the stored video and data, and assessed the effect of Quality of Service (QoS) by an objective method of video quality assessment metrics, like data metrics and picture metrics.
