SP-driven QoS provision Mechanism for Real-Time Multimedia Streaming over P2P Networks using Admission Control

Enabling Quality of Service (QoS) for End-to-End real-time multimedia content delivery across heterogeneous P2P networks is challenging but vital for the efficient service provision. In this paper, we present an admission control based for the real-time multimedia streaming over Service Provider (SP) driven peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. SP-driven P2P networks are the P2P networks where network providers have comprehensive control over network and provide the whole information to the service providers by explicit communication to deploy efficiently the real-time applications with improved QoS. The proposed QoS provision mechanism is based on the traffic descriptor admission control (TDAC) technique. The underlying video encoding scheme used to propose this solution is scalable video coding that is considered as the most promising video encoding scheme for real-time content delivery across heterogeneous networks as to ensure acceptable level of QoS.
