Low-delay stream switch method for real-time transfer protocol

With wide spread of smartphones and high speed mobile communication technology, mobile broadcasting market is growing rapidly. Bit stream change during Video-on-Demand service causes large delay of video and audio playback, which makes user inconvenience. To avoid large delay, a method for low-delay stream switch is proposed and implemented on Android platform. Experimental result shows 72.71ms of stream change time on average when bit stream change occurred.
