Seamless Connectivity for Adaptive Multimedia Provisioning over P2P-enabled IP Multimedia Subsystem

Abstract

The subsystem multimedia internet network (IMS) has been upgraded to support peer-to-peer content distribution services, the peer heterogeneity constraint imposes a challenge that is the guarantee of a certain level of QOS of the video for the different pairs, and the transfer poses a challenge for maintaining quality of service (QoS) in IMS. In this article, we we have extended a scalable Video Coding (SVC) peer-to-peer streaming adaptation model and our extension allows to add another parameter for this adaptation scheme which is the IP address of the peers, so to manage multiple network accesses to a peer when the user changes the type of access, due to a transfer or a loss of connectivity, this model is used to adapt the video quality to the static resources of the peers in order to avoid long start times, and to compare the results obtained for changing the type of network access, we performed two simulation scenarios, one with multiple peers that are connected to the network until the end of the video download by the peers and the other scenario with the change of the address of a peer during the operation of downloading the video sequence by peers. We quantified streaming performance using two metrics of evaluation (peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR)) and video quality metrics (VQM)), and also we extracted from the values of PLR (Packets loss rate). Our results show that our model has a better adaptation of the quality according to the network resources of the peers in term of bandwidth available in the network and the performances of the users (CPU, RAM, autonomy of the battery) and also allows a continuity of service in the network by ensuring that the list of peers is updated after each change. The results show a clear quality adaptation with heterogeneous terminals.
