Video streaming over vehicular networks by a multiple path solution with error correction

A reliable solution for the task of unicast video streaming over urban VANETs is of great demand. Single path solutions which address this topic are highly prone to collision at a high data rates which are necessary for high quality videos. Multipath solution solves this problem by distributing the heavy traffic load into a set of paths. Among numbers of multipath works, only 2-path LIAITHON+ takes into consideration the high dynamic topology of VANETs, route coupling effect, and path length growth. In this paper, we make several improvements on top of the 2-path LIAITHON+. We evaluate the use of more than two paths in this multipath solution. Moreover, the impact of added redundancy on the both 2-path and 3-path LIAITHON+ is investigated as a solution for packet loss.
