Multicasting of Video Streams over WiMAX Networks - A Review

Shelly Kalra

Abstract: Multicast and Broadcast service of mobile WiMAX is the fastest growing technology in the past few years; because it provides the multimedia content to large scale users in a cost efficient manner. The high speed wireless networks have made it possible to provide real time multimedia streaming. This paper presents an exhaustive survey of recent work addressing multicasting of video streams over WiMAX networks. The following sections provide the detail analysis of the work. Section 1.0 describes the brief introduction of WiMAX networks and video streaming; section 2.0 describes the background which further descirbes the WiMAX frames and different scalable coding techniques for video streaming; in its sub-sections; section 3.0 describes the literature survey and section 4.0 describes the conclusion.

Keywords: Multicasting, WiMAX, scalable video coding, video streaming, scalability
