Abstract(in English) vehicles (UVs) are expected to be useful tools in various fields, and their applications are widely spreading to diverse areas. Remote-controlled UVs need reliable and small delay communication links for transmitting various signals between the UVs and control stations. We think that a mobile network, which is widely available for mobile phone communications with an affordable cost, is a potential candidate to provide such a communication link. To realize it, we have to overcome degradation in communication quality of IP packet transmissions over a mobile network. We focus on video signal transmission from a UV to a control station. Video transmission quality suffers degradation by both transmission delay and loss of IP packets. Especially, delay spikes which often occur in mobile networks significantly disturb UV controls. Because a delay spike causes freeze of the moving video by interrupting continuous transmission of IP packets of a video signal. In this paper, we propose a technique to overcome delay spikes. The technique uses multiple mobile networks and adaptively switches a video stream from a mobile network to other one. We carried out video transmission experiments using two real LTE networks. Our result shows effectiveness of the proposal to reduce of freezing frequency of a video.
