A framework for qos-aware multimedia service selection for wireless clients

Abstract

With the popularity of ubiquitous multimedia access, there is an increasing demand for appropriate multimedia service selection that satisfies the QoS constraints of the wireless clients. However, due to resource limitations of wireless clients, it is a challenge to select an appropriate service, which is suitable for wireless devices based on their respective QoS demands. To overcome this challenge, we propose a novel QoS-aware multimedia service selection framework, which inherits the adoption of nature-inspired path selection behavior in the service selection. We extend the nature-inspired algorithm to support QoS for multimedia service selection. We also measure the component transcoding service reliability as well as the system reliability.
