Abstract

Quality of live video streaming technology is based on quality of Experiences parameters (QoE). Approaching the peer-to-peer (P2P) or peer-assisted networks as a sympathetic solution is highly required, especially in light of its authentic scalability and its extremely low initial cost requirements. However, the design of robust, efficient, and performing P2P streaming systems remains a high challenge when real-time constraints are part of the quality of service (QoS), as in TV distribution or conferencing applications. One of the P2P main issues that affect the quality of streaming is the neighbor selection methodology. The proposed work presents an effective mesh-based neighbor selection approaches for video streaming – Uniform Peer Distribution Algorithm (UPDA) – based on QoS and QoE Parameters. UPDA shortens the latency to be ranging from 10 ms to 50 ms servicing up to 4000 online peers under failure / recovery tests. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed UPDA achieves good performance in End-to End delay with a percentage of 10.4 % and packet delay variation about 2% compared to random neighbor selection method.
