Abstract
Systems and Algorithms for a network-loss tolerant, mobile broadcasting system that reliably and efficiently address unreliable or untimely transmission of segments. By associating a unique metadata to each segment (an Upload ID), segments are identified by the order in which they were captured at their source. Upload IDs allow for methods to proactively address lost or out-of-order segments without disturbing a broadcast. Late arriving segments are preserved for broadcast in the correct sequence by the invention's novel uses of Upload IDs.
