P2P-based Ultra High Definition multi-view video distribution system with best-effort and bandwidth guaranteed networks

Various video distribution services have emerged, such as Ultra High Definition (UHD) videos, 3D videos and multi-view videos. Despite the fact that the issue of video distribution in best-effort networks is addressed in vast amount of literatures, little work has been done so far to consider video distribution systems in bandwidth guaranteed networks. In this paper, we propose a P2P-based UHD multi-view video distribution system in order to realize high quality play-back and rapid view switch by distributing UHD multi-view video in best-effort and guaranteed networks cooperatively. Through computer simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed system is suitable for future UHD multi-view video distribution systems.
