HTTP ADAPTIVE STREAMING SERVER, METHOD, AND CLIENT TERMINAL BASED ON NETWORK ENVIRONMENT MONITORING

The disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining a 5th generation (5G) communication system that supports higher data transmission rates after 4th generation (4G) systems with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and to system thereof. The disclosure can be applied for intelligent services based on 5G communication technology and IoT related technology (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, and the like). To do so, a method for providing, by a streaming server, HTTP adaptive streaming to a client terminal is provided. The method includes transmitting a first multimedia data to a terminal, monitoring a network environment between a streaming server and the terminal when the first multimedia data is transmitted to the terminal, and pushing at least one second multimedia data based on the network environment monitored.
