Communication system for establishing a real-time communication session

摘要

A computer-implemented system and method are described for improving the quality of experience (QoE) of real-time video sessions between mobile users. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: configuring one or more relay servers on the perimeter of a service provider network by a streaming server via the Internet; at the streaming server, receiving a request from a first mobile device to establish a real-time communication session with a second mobile device; the streaming server subsequently providing the first and second mobile devices with networking information for connecting via the relay server(s) which is(are) located close to at least one of the first and second mobile devices; and establishing the real-time communication session through the relay server(s).
