The research on peer-to-peer streaming schemes has largely focused on tree-push and mesh-pull structures. However, the tree-push structure has a defect that the tree restructuring time is long, and the mesh-pull structure has long startup delay and lag time from source servers. In this paper, we propose a new peer-to-peer live streaming scheme based on a push-mesh structure that takes advantages of tree-push and mesh-pull structure simultaneously. This structure basically provides the mesh-pull mechanism for data transmission and utilizes peers with high network upload capacity. It also supports the push mechanism along with paths from a source server, super peers, and selected general peers. By NS-2 simulation experiments, we finally show that our proposed scheme can achieve shorter startup delay than the mesh-pull structure, similar lag time to tree-push structure and best playback continuity among the three schemes.

In this paper, we propose an efficient mobile P2P streaming architecture to minimize playback jitters in P2P overlay networks based on wired/wireless networks even though mobile peers experience the handover. In this architecture, mobile peers receive data in a push manner to maximize the data receiving speed before and after the handover. In addition, they can maintain the buffering above a specific level through handover prediction and re-selection of neighbor peers. By simulation experiments, we show that our proposed architecture can improve the performance significantly when the handover occurs compared to the existing mesh structure.
