Abstract
The rapid growth of technology has lead to an exponential increase in the number of high-end smart phone users. This accounts for an explosion in mobile data traffic, especially, video traffic. To deal with this, device to device (D2D) communication is an effective approach to ensure an improved quality of service (QoS). In this context, this paper proposes a framework for adaptive multimedia streaming between heterogeneous users using D2D (Wi-Fi Direct) and dynamic Wi-Fi configuration. Experimental study has been conducted to analyze the QoS performance of adaptive multimedia streaming between heterogeneous users over Wi-Fi Direct and dynamic Wi-Fi configuration. Dynamic network configuration and quality selection algorithms have been proposed based on experimental data. Experimental study shows the impact of different quality levels onto end-to-end delay and packet re-transmission rate. The results validate the efficacy of the proposed scheme in terms of a considerable decrease in end-to-end transmission delay and packet re-transmission rate.
