Abstract
Advances in technology have enabled a proliferation of mobile devices and a broad spectrum of novel and outbreaking solutions for new applications and services. Presently more and more people and companies are demanding mobile access to multimedia services such as real-time rich media. Today, it is necessary to be able to predict adaptation behavior that concerns and addresses not only the mobile usage or the infrastructure availability, but also the service quality, especially the continuity of service. Our chapter provides insight to new challenges of mobile multimedia services and applications: wifi indoor positioning system adapted to heterogeneous building, static and learning mobility prediction, predictive handover policy for multimedia cache management, mobile multimedia guide (e.g., museums), and network scalability.
