Abstract
HotStreaming is an overlay peer-to-peer (P2P) based IPTV system. It integrates the innovations in both overlay networking and video coding for optimal user experience. The HotStreaming system is composed of three key components: partnership formation, data request scheduling and multiple description coding (MDC). In the partnership formation component, we propose two policies to reduce the time of disconnection and the number of isolated peers. In the MDC component, we adopt MDC with spatial-temporal hybrid interpolation (MDC-STHI), which makes the peers in a P2P network to adjust the streaming traffic according to their bandwidth limitation and capability of devices. The experimental results show that the HotStreaming system improves the video quality over a lossy and dynamic networking environment.
