Streaming
Streaming media is a method of making audio,
video clips and other multimedia available in real-
time. Streaming media to computers has been
used during the last couple of years, and now, with
3G, the technique gives the user a high-quality
experience.
The term streaming refers to the technique it is
based on. Previously you had to wait to download
an entire file and then play it, whereas the use of
streaming means the end user can almost immedi-
ately begin to watch or listen to the content of a
requested file. The data in the file is broken down
into small packets that are sent in a continuous
flow, a stream, to the end user. It is then possible to
begin viewing the file while the rest of the packets
are transferred.
Applications
The applications which can be built on top of the
streaming services, can be classified into on
demand, and live information delivery applications.
Examples of the first category are music and video
clips, news on demand as well as on demand
instruction material. Live delivery of radio and tele-
vision are examples of live information delivery.
The following video and music codec support is
provided according to 3GPP:
• MPEG-4 Simple Visual Profile Level 0
• H.263 Profile 0 Level 10
• H.263 Profile 3 Level 10 (decode only)
• AAC
•AMR
