Bay Area Research Wireless Access Network (BARWAN)
Data Type Specific Transmission Layer
This layer provides specialized functions for applications to manage
the transport of data type specific objects. Multimedia applications
process audio, video, image, and other semantically rich data types.
We are implementing mechanisms to support alternative representations
and compression/decompression schemes for commonly encountered data
types for multimedia applications to allow a flexible trade-off
between bandwidth and latency, based on the network selected for
connectivity and the relative cost of using that network, such as
network load and billing costs.
