Abstract

Optimization of wireless network architecture plays a vital role in achieving maximum network capacity. Shared wireless media in the presence of multiple users and multiple applications need to be used optimally to enhance satisfaction of the users. Especially, mobile multimedia applications demand wireless networks to allocate resources optimally and adapt to environment dynamics. Cross Layer Design (CLD) is a paradigm to optimize traditional layers of communication network architecture. As far as video streaming is considered over wireless networks, it is challenging to achieve Quality of Experience (QoE) and Universal Multimedia Access (UMA), which addresses the problem of delivering multimedia resources under different conditions. In this paper, we focus on finding insights from the present state-of-the-art of CLD for optimization of multimedia transmission over wireless networks. It throws light into different layers and the joint optimization possibilities to leverage multimedia content dissemination in wireless networks. The insights of research findings of this paper provide valuable knowhow on joint optimization of multimedia transmission over wireless networks.
