STUDY ON VIDEO STREAMING OVER WIRED AND WIRELESS NETWORKS

Abstract

gwo rapidly evolving and merging technologies are the Internet and wireless data communications, another trend is the increased use of real time multimedia applications for audio and video communication. goday, the wireless networks are able to transfer both voice as well as data, thus opening a huge possibility of the various kinds of applications and services that can be built over such communication infrastructure. This thesis discusses the challenges that face the design of wireless networks for supporting multimedia. The study encompasses the changes that need to be brought about in the wireless networks to guarantee a QoS to different classes of multimedia traffic. gherefore a comparison of QoS factors resulting from transmitting multimedia over wired and wireless network was made through using the infrastructure of Sudan University for science and technology network and transmitting Multimedia over wired and wireless link and comparing the results it has been found that there is some multimedia format better to be sent over wired network to maintain the QoS and grantee stable quality. As well as there is other multimedia format that can be sent over wireless network and still have QoS. It all depends on the QoS parameters required.
