Abstract:

To relieve the negative effect brought by the intricate wireless network environment and unstable user behavior in layered mobile P2P streaming service, an Evolved Layered P2P (E-LP2P) data scheduling scheme in the process of service delivery is introduced in this paper. The data in base layer is scheduled according to its importance in streaming play to guarantee the basic play of streaming. The data in enhancement layer is scheduled according to the characters of streaming data, including its position and amount in server peer set in a multiple tied way towards the data in enhancement layer. To cope with the layer jitter caused by the fluctuation of bandwidth, jitter prevent mechanism is used to adjust the highest layer dynamically during the process of data scheduling. Simulation results show that the E-LP2P can provide good QoS performance in terms of throughput, layer delivery ratio, server load and useless packet ratio.
