Mobile devices, particularly smartphones, have become ubiquitous in today's digital landscape, leading to the emergence of Smartphone Ad Hoc Networks (SPANs) as a dynamic and flexible communication paradigm. Within this context, efficient video streaming is paramount for a wide range of applications, from entertainment to emergency response. This taxonomy, titled "MobileStreamNet: A Taxonomy for Video Streaming in Smartphone Ad Hoc Networks," provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the multifaceted challenges and solutions in this domain. It categorizes key elements, including network topology, routing protocols, quality of service, video coding, and more, while addressing critical considerations such as energy efficiency, security, and user interaction. By organizing these factors, the taxonomy aims to facilitate research, development, and optimization efforts, ultimately enhancing the performance and reliability of video streaming in SPANs.
