An innovative adaptive streaming system for connected vehicles

Abstract

The development of communication and multimedia technologies makes it possible and practical to exchange high-volume data in Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) in real time. However, the challenges are eminent in the vehicular streaming systems where the network conditions change rapidly. It is meaningful and valuable to develop adaptive streaming technologies that suit the vehicular environments. In this paper, we present an innovative adaptive streaming system for the connected vehicles to meet the stringent requirements in vehicular environments. We analyze and discuss the advantages and constraints of transport protocol, scalable coding, bandwidth estimation and delivery strategy that are critical to a vehicular adaptive streaming system. An implementation of the adaptive streaming system is also given out.
