Video Streaming Over Multihop Wireless Networks –Issues and Techniques

Video streaming over multihop wireless networks is considered to be a challenging issue and it is mainly affected by the factors like dynamic change in topology, multi path shadowing and fading, packet delay, video quality issues, interference and many more. Video streaming in real time requires special techniques that can overcome the losses of packets in the unreliable networks. There is an increasing demand for real-time communication services, so efforts to realize video streaming over multihop wireless networks have met many challenges which will be addressed in this paper. Various techniques and issues faced are addressed and the application-centric approach is found advantageous than the other earlier proposed method. We can rather improve possibly by incorporating more lower-layer information and refine its performance.
