Multimedia Streaming in Self-Organized Mesh Networks

March 7, 2006
Yi Cui | Vanderbilt University

New forms of networking technologies such as overlay, peer-to-peer, and mesh networks, promise the emergence of a new generation of global-scale intelligent networks. The constituent nodes of these networks are smart, autonomous, and very often, heterogeneous in terms of processing and storage resources. Such a new communication paradigm revolutionizes the way networking applications can be built. In this talk, I will present our research on supporting various multimedia applications, e.g., peer-to-peer streaming and video sensing, on different networking platforms such as overlay network and wireless sensor network.
