Multimedia Streaming in MANETs using SCTP

In this work we propose different approaches for better multimedia streaming by avoiding external and internal congestion. A Congestion Avoidance Mechanism over MANET routing based on Data Priority and Streaming Delay Weights (SDWs) which also utilizes SCTP multi-streaming (namely CAM-SCTP) as shown in section 1. For internal congestion it makes use of Clustering and Optimization Approaches as shown in section 2.
