Abstract

This paper presents an efficient method for supporting mpeg-based normal/interactive video streaming in High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) wireless channel. The method is based on storing multiple differently encoded versions of the video stream at the server. The corresponding normal/interactive video streams are obtained by encoding the original uncompressed video file as a sequence of Intra-Predicted
(I)-Bidirectional (I) frames and Intra-Predicted (I) frames respectively. Mechanisms for controlling the normal/interactive request are also presented and their effectiveness is assessed through simulations. Wireless media services are supported with acceptable visual quality and reduced mobile consumption energy at the wireless client-end.
