... a focus on LTE. We also discuss proposed solutions for these challenges while highlighting the limitations of these solutions and the conditions/assumptions required for these solution to deliver high performance. In addition, we show different work in cross layer optimization for video streaming and how it leads towards a more optimized end to end LTE networking for video streaming. Finally, we suggest different open research areas in the domain of video delivery over LTE networks that can significantly enhance the quality of streaming experience to the end user.
