Title
Asynchronous Media Streaming Over Wireless Broadcast Channels
Abstract
We consider wireless broadcasting of multimedia content to allow asynchronous media access. Receivers subscribe at any time to the ongoing broadcast session, but are still able to display the media stream from the beginning. A fully scalable broadcasting scheme is presented where the media stream is appropriately segmented and segments are pro- tected by fountain codes. The decoding behavior of rateless codes on wireless as well as on erasure channels is consid- ered within the framework of information collection. Asyn- chronous data access and full reliability at the same time are achieved. Depending on its receiving conditions the re- ceiver adapts its initial playout delay for high probability of successful playout. Analytical expressions for the failure probability of successful media playout are derived depend- ing on the initial delay and the channel conditions at the receiver.
