    Performance of video streaming in a Mobile IPv6 environment
    (2007) Mathews, Mudhush Koruth; Ventura, Neco
    A seamless video streaming handover scheme is formulated in this research to guarantee the continuity of a Video on Demand application in the context of IP mobility. The scheme is analysed and an evaluation framework is developed to assess its feasibility. This thesis presents an effective method of supporting real-time multimedia applications on IP-centric wireless networks using Mobile IPv6. From the results, the scheme shows a significant improvement in terms of the disruption time and packet loss that a Video on Demand application experiences during handover. The effects of Mobile IPv6 are mitigated by the use of the adaptive mobile video streaming scheme. Thus, it is feasible to use a combination of adaptation of video quality based on network conditions and Fast Mobile IPv6 to guarantee application continuity in the context of IP mobility.
