Delivering video streaming over a varying network requires high ratio compression and efficient transmission. We propose a new control scheme for video streaming strategy over an IP network. It uses a hierarchical adaptive merging splitting mesh (HAMSM) and hierarchical adaptive control protocol (HACP) to process and transmit video. The combination of HAMSM and HACP offers a reliable, adaptive and minimized video streaming scheme over an IP network. Furthermore, the network packet loss rate is considered in rate adaptation so that the end-to-end distortion is reduced. The proposed system is prototyped and simulated. The performance analysis shows that the prototyped system is reliable and effective in a high loss rate network.
