ADIMUS - Adaptive Internet Multimedia Streaming - Final Project Report

This document is the final scientific report of the ADIMUS project which was funded by the NORDUnet3 programme. ADIMUS addresses the problem of enhancing the quality of multimedia streams at run-time based on the perceived quality. We present an architecture that addresses the different requirements from end-to-end for a mobile terminal. The architecture comprises an overlay network in the long-distance part, while the multi-access network employs cross-layer technology. Both parts interact, and use adaptation techniques shown in this report. We also present quality estimation techniques for both audio and video streams. This report is based on the scientific papers published during the project, and sets these papers into the context of the ADIMUS project.
