An Effective Video Streaming Method for Video on Demand Services in Vertical Handoff

Vertical handoff (VH) is required to achieve anywhere and anytime internet access in the fourth generation (4G) network providing interoperability between universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) and wireless LAN (WLAN). However, video data can be lost due to latency caused by VH. To solve...

Summary:Vertical handoff (VH) is required to achieve anywhere and anytime internet access in the fourth generation (4G) network providing interoperability between universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) and wireless LAN (WLAN). However, video data can be lost due to latency caused by VH. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an effective video streaming method for video on demand (VOD) services that provides seamless playout at the client in VH. Experimental results show that our method can provide seamless playout at the client in VH while preserving image quality.
