This chapter discusses the state of the art in dealing with the resource optimization problem for smooth delivery of video across a peer to peer (P2P) network. It further discusses the properties of using different video coding techniques such as Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiple Descriptive Coding (MDC) to overcome the playback latency in multimedia streaming and maintains an adequate quality of service (QoS) among the users. The problem can be summarized as follows; Given that a video is requested by a peer in the network, what properties of SVC and MDC can be exploited to deliver the video with the highest quality, least upload bandwidth and least delay from all participating peers. However, the solution to these problems is known to be NP hard. Hence, this chapter presents the state of the art in approximation algorithms or techniques that have been proposed to overcome these issues.

Recent advances in wireless broadband networks and video coding techniques have led the rapid growth of wireless video services. In this chapter, we present a comprehensive study on the transmission of scalable video over wireless local area networks (WLAN). We analyze first the mechanisms and principles of the emerging scalable video coding (SVC) standard. We then introduce the IEEE 802.11 standards for WLAN and related quality of service (QoS) issues. We present some studies of SVC over WLAN using cross-layer design techniques. We aim to exploit the unique characteristics of the scalable video coding technology to enhance personalized experience and to improve system performance in a wireless transmission system. Examples and analyses are given to demonstrate system performances.

Ad hoc and sensor networks have received tremendous attention in the recent literature due to its unpredictable nature and its many applications. Imposing any kind of reliability in such networks represents a real challenge. In this paper, we propose a new resource management scheme which virtually reserves and releases resources at the network layer when necessary. Results show that our scheme distributes resources efficiently between Best Effort and Quality of Service traffics even when congestion arises.
