Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of synchronized multimedia streaming for the Apple iPhone platform. The idea is to stream multimedia content from a single source to multiple receivers with direct or multi-hop connections to the source. First we look into existing solutions for video streaming on the iPhone for point-to-point architectures. After acknowledging their limitations, we propose a solution based on network coding to efficiently and reliably deliver the multimedia content to many devices in a synchronized manner. Then we introduce an application that implements this technique on the iPhone. We also present our testbed which consists of 16 iPod Touch devices to showcase the capabilities of our application.
