For video plus depth based mobile 3D video streaming

this paper proposes a cross-layer optimized rate adaptation and error control method.The proposed method tunes the coding rate and intra refresh coding ratio at the application layer

and modulation and channel coding scheme at the physical layer by minimizing the end-to-end 3D video distortion.Thus

the proposed method can reach the goal of adapting source rate to the channelbandwidth as well as leveraging the error control strengths between the application layer and physical layer.Correspondingly

the virtual view quality of the 3D video at the receiver can be improved.Experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently improve the 3D video streaming performance.
