On mobile video streaming IPTV

Wireless IPTV (Internet protocol television) aims to make the traditional IPTV and related services available to users anywhere, anytime, on any device, and through any network. Mobile streaming TV is one of the alternatives to deploy such a system, others are DVB-H or MediaFLO. In this paper we propose an architecture to distribute contents to different access networks, in order to create a triple screen platform. The core elements of the system are the video streamers installed in the access networks (including mobile), and the transcoding servers in the premises of the content providers. The paper focused on the wireless part of the system, analyzing the architecture and some performance results. The system has been deployed by a Spanish media company for its use with different Telcos, ISPs and organizations.
