Mobile network configuration for large-scale multimedia delivery on a single WLAN

Abstract

We report performance measurements and analyses of a variety of wireless networks to arrive at an appropriate network structure configuration for smooth multimedia streaming service with a variety of smart devices in a single wireless network environment. Unlike the usual infrastructure network, configurations such as the IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network and the Wi-Fi direct network use direct connections between devices without going through a wireless AP. Therefore, these configurations prevent concentrating traffic at the wireless AP. We generated three types of wireless network performance measurements and arrived at a suitable network for multimedia streaming service using a variety of smart devices. The wireless network was configured in a structure for efficient multimedia streaming service in a single wireless LAN environment, and subsequently, the network performance was measured.
