A cooperative protocol for video streaming in dense small cell wireless relay networks

作者：

Highlights：

• We develop a protocol for using overheard video packets in wireless relay networks.

• We develop a wireless relay selection scheme that uses the content of the video packet and not just the channel quality.

• Overhearing is enough for improving wireless unicast video quality when compared to network coding.

• Video-aware relay selection outperforms classic channel-quality based relay selection.
