Abstract

This paper presents a HTTP based multimedia content streaming architecture able to provide large scale WebTV services to end users connected over several access network technologies. The architecture features smooth Rate Adaptation, context Personalization information (Channel Suggestions), fast program channel switching, Network Portability (Vertical Handover) and Terminal Portability capabilities. The prototypical solution is being developed under the scope of the european project.
