Increasingly popular multimedia services are expected to play a dominant role in the future of the Internet. In this context, it is essential that content-aware networking (CAN) architectures explicitly address the efficient delivery and processing of multimedia content. This article proposes the adoption of a content-aware approach into the network infrastructure, thus making it capable of identifying,...
Distributed multimedia application over IP network is an evolving paradigm for the researcher in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). There are several applications of this technology-video conferencing, tele-teaching, telemedicine and any collaborative application. Maintaining the satisfactory Quality Of Service [1,2] and synchronization is a big challenge to the researcher...
We study the design of media streaming applications in the presence of multiple heterogeneous wireless access methods with different throughputs and costs. Our objective is to analytically characterize the trade-off between the usage cost and the Quality of user Experience (QoE), which is represented by the probability of interruption in media playback and the initial waiting time. We model each access...
Highly desirable types of networked multimedia applications should adapt to changes in the environmental conditions in which they operate, such as communication bandwidth, available memory, and battery lifetime, while providing the best possible quality of service (QoS). In this paper we present a software architecture that facilitates the development of adaptive networked multimedia applications...
Quality of experience (QoE) is an important, and admittedly overloaded, concept for the emerging IPTV services. Service providers are continuously working towards delivering a better TV experience. To this effect, cost-effective and scalable tools are highly desirable for QoE monitoring, diagnostics and reporting. In this paper, we demonstrate that the RTP control protocol and its network tomography...
In this paper, we study a mechanism which allows the sender application to mark video packets based on its importance in reconstructing the video. Passing such video frames to differentiated service (DiffServ) network increases the video quality and treats the video frames based on their priorities. A media aware sub-layer has been added to the edge routers in DiffServ network. The media aware sub-layer...
We consider data-streaming from an access point to multiple receivers, which is modeled as packet erasure channel. A simple network coding is shown to achieve larger rate region than without network coding, using minimal control information. The performance is characterized exactly using state transition graph. The scheme is then mapped to an information theoretic formulation for broadcast channel...
In this paper, we present a receiver centric P2P-based multimedia streaming mechanism for heterogeneous network terminals. P2P networks possess the heterogeneous characteristics that are not known a priori, such dynamic conditions make the real time applications like multimedia streaming more challenging. We proposed an adaptive streaming mechanism to cope with the problem of dynamic characteristics...
This contribution addresses the case when live packet-switched video is used to enrich circuit-switched speech calls in mobile telephony. Circuit-switched and packet-switched transmissions generally operate on completely different transmission paths resulting in different QoS in terms of delay and loss rates. In this case, video and audio data recorded at the same time are not multiplexed together...
Many real-time communication protocols have been studied to guarantee the communication requirements of distributed real-time systems. But, current techniques lack all or most of these requirements specially bounded message delivery time. In this paper we have proposed a Mac layer protocol called RDM+ with concepts similar to Round Data Mailer multi layer protocol. Our simulation results show that...
This paper explores the attributes, layering models and objective functions in cross layer designs for mobile ad hoc wireless networks by taking all the statistical characteristics and constraints from the physical (PHY) layer, media access control (MAC) layer and network (NET) layer into consideration. This paper reviews the entire network optimization across all the PHY/MAC/NET layers. At the PHY...
