Abstract: An audiovisual stream source streams frames of encoded audiovisual content over a wireless communication channel according to an encoding bit rate selected in accordance with a data rate of the wireless communication channel. A source mobile device is coupled to the wireless communication channel to receive the plurality of encoded frames and transmit them over a first communication channel at a first data rate. A streaming server coupled to the first communication channel receives the encoded frames and transmits them over a second communication channel at a second data rate. A destination mobile device coupled to the second communication channel receives the encoded frames and displays them. If the source mobile device detects congestion when it transmits the encoded frames over the first communication channel at the first rate, then the source mobile device adjusts the first rate at which the source mobile device transmits the encoded frames over the first communication channel.

Abstract: A real-time audiovisual streaming system transmits audiovisual content over an internetwork from an audiovisual stream source to a plurality of invited viewers. The system includes an application monitor coupled to an internetwork to monitor performance of each of a plurality of streaming servers coupled to the internetwork. The application monitor selects at least one streaming server to receive and broadcast an audiovisual stream over the internetwork, based on its monitoring of the streaming servers.
