Emulation of IP-based video streaming through simultaneous satellite connections

This paper addresses the definition and testing, through a network emulation platform, of satellite IP-based live video streaming. Specifically, a High Throughput Satellite (HTS) VSAT commercial service operating at Ka-band was considered as core network for IP data transport. This approach opens the way to the definition of a new live “low cost - high quality” contribution model, compared to the classic Ku-band uplinks in use so far. On the other hand, the solution identified has to face some shortcomings that shall be carefully evaluated and are described in the paper.
