STREAMING CONTROL FOR REAL-TIME TRANSPORT PROTOCOL

摘要

Dynamic control of transport protocols utilized in the streaming of media content based in part on the type of content, latency requirements, network conditions and/or device capabilities is described. The techniques provide a source device to dynamically switch between User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to stream media content to a sink device. For example, during a Wi-Fi peer-to-peer remote display session associated with real-time media content (e.g., live streaming sporting event, or gaming applications), the source device may utilize Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) over UDP to transmit the media stream to the sink device. Conversely, when the media content is not latency critical, such as playback of stored media (e.g., movie), the source device may dynamically switch to RTP over TCP in order to provide reliable data transmission.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
initiating, by a source device, a media stream to a sink device over a first protocol during a Wi-Fi peer-to-peer remote display session; identifying a second protocol supported by the sink device; and dynamically switching to the second protocol to transmit the media stream during the Wi-Fi peer-to-peer remote display session.
