碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 資訊科學學系 === 96 === Network multimedia applications are popular in recent years. From voice over IP, video over IP, to IPTV, they are in people’s life now. We can use Skype to dial a free network call or a cheap PSTN call, and we can use some applications to watch TV programs from Internet. Most of them use peer-to-peer technology to get better performance. Peer-to-peer technology is also a new and popular technique in recent years. People use peer-to-peer software to download files and share data in the beginning, and now they use peer-to-peer software to listen to music, and to watch TV programs. Wireless networks, especially the IEEE 802.11 network, is also popular now. People can access Internet anywhere even they are walking. It's a good idea to use multimedia streaming applications in wireless networks, but however, the essential problems of wireless networks will reduce the performance of these applications, such as mobility, and channel instability. We propose a new mobile peer-to-peer streaming protocol to solve the performance problems caused by wireless networks and let the media be played more continuously and smoothly.
