A study on the seamless transmission of an uplink constant streaming data over wireless LANs and cellular networks

Abstract

Recently, with the advent of the wireless Internet, IPv6, and P2P communications, the seamless transmission of a constant streaming data through wireless Internet has been widely accepted as a new research area. In this paper, we address a seamless transmission of constantly generated streaming data from a moving object to a remote site. We divide the whole wireless communication environments into an indoor environment, where the main communication method is the WLAN and an outdoor, where the main communication method is CDMA cellular Network and assume that the mobile server is able to move anywhere. We develop algorithms, implement them on a PDA-based hardware platform, and show some of the results. We think that, with some improvement of the performances, this work can be applied to many services such as P2P communication, file sharing services such as Napster or Soribada, and constant monitoring of the mobile objects. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
