SBIR Phase I: HYPP - A Low Cost, Reliable Hybrid Peer-to-Peer Platform for Multimedia Streaming

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目专注于名为Hypp的创新多媒体流媒体P2P平台的技术和商业可行性。Hypp是一种混合型P2P平台，旨在支持在互联网上为“一对多”和“多对多”应用提供实时、高质量的视频和音频传输。通过集成网络编码、信源编码和信道编码的先进技术，Hypp将能够为数字用户环路(DSL)客户提供及时、可靠和经济高效的数据传输。近年来，互联网上的媒体流应用数量激增。视频会议、视频广播、远程演示、远程学习和视频点播都是此类应用的主要示例。在许多技术挑战中，使这些应用程序大规模扩散的技术是能够高效地将数据从一个源传输到互联网上的多个目的地。当前支持一对多应用的体系结构受单个信源的传输带宽的限制，因此这些方法不可扩展。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project focuses on the technical and commercial feasibility of an innovative multimedia streaming P2P platform called HYPP. HYPP is Hybrid P2P platform designed to support real time, high quality videos and audios delivery for "one-to-many" and "many-to-many" applications over the Internet. By integrating advanced techniques in network coding, source coding, and channel coding, HYPP will be able to deliver data on time and reliably and cost-effectively for Digital Subscriber Loop (DSL) customers.In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of media streaming applications over the Internet. Video conferencing, video broadcasting, remote presentations, distance learning, and video on demand are the prime examples of such applications. Among many technological challenges, the enabling technology for a large scale proliferation of these applications is the ability to deliver data efficiently from one source to many destinations on the Internet. Current architectures to support one-to-many applications are constrained by the transmission bandwidth of a single source, and thus these approaches are not scalable.
