Widely-used Rate Control (RC) algorithms, such as those in the H.264 encoder, have certain shortcomings for time-sensitive applications such as High Definition Video Conferencing (HDVC): they either respond too slowly to available bandwidth variations, causing degradation in the perceived quality of the video session, or do not optimize video quality for a given available bandwidth. To overcome these...
Nowadays, 360-degree video has become an important component of virtual reality (VR) technology. Unfortunately, this state-of-the-art content type requires a huge bandwidth from a server to a client. In order to solve the bandwidth problem in streaming VR videos over HTTP/2, a dynamic adaptation method is crucial. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive streaming method based on tiled streaming...
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has gained great attention by the researchers and network application developers due to its features providing better bandwidth utilization and higher reliability recently. Utilizing MPTCP in the datacenters provides performance gain to the applications. If the underlying network has Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture, the routing of the MPTCP subflows can be specialized...
A Visible Light Communication (VLC) transmitter based on the use of DC-DC power converters is presented in this work. The architecture is made up of two DC-DC power converters in output-series connection. One of them is responsible for performing the communication functionality by operating at high switching frequency (10 MHz), whereas the second one fulfills the illumination functionality by ensuring...
Standard called MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG DASH) was developed in order to ensure that the end user shall be given the best possible quality of requested content under certain network conditions. DASH is used to notify the user that there are several transmission streams with different quality levels available. Bitrate adaptation algorithms used in DASH-based system have developed...
Fueled by increasing network bandwidth and decreasing costs, the popularity of over-the-top large-scale live video streaming has dramatically increased over the last few years. In this paper, we present a measurement study of adaptive bitrate video streaming for a large-scale live event. Using server-side logs from a commercial content delivery network, we study live video delivery for the annual...
Autonomous driving is the next breakthrough in automotive industry. Although the current achievements are very promising we still envision applications in which a certain level of assistance from the remote operator would be required. The goal of the project is to realize a semi-autonomous driving platform prototype with low-latency control/command channel to the operator over the 5G wireless network...
Dynamic Adaptive HTTP Streaming (DASH) is a popular MPEG standard. In DASH systems, the clients adapt quality based on the observed network and internal parameters in order to achieve high Quality of Experience (QoE). The throughput of Internet applications can be increased if the underlying transport protocol utilizes the network conditions by using multiple end-to-end connections. MPTCP is a recent...
Video is becoming one of the biggest traffic generating elements and the current progressive download approach has been found inefficient in terms of resource utilization. A machine learning based approach is proposed for the video streaming with DASH (Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP) as an underlying architecture to help client adapt to the changing streaming environment. The reason for using...
Multimedia streaming is a significant source of Internet traffic, with Netflix and YouTube accounting for more than 50% of North American fixed network peak download traffic in 2016. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is a recent standard for live and on-demand video streaming services, where clients adapt the video quality on-the-fly to match the network capacity by requesting multi-rate...
Triggered by several head-mounted display (HMD) devices that have come to the market recently, such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Samsung Gear VR, significant interest has developed in virtual reality (VR) systems, experiences and applications. However, the current HMD devices are still very heavy and large, negatively affecting user experience. Moreover, current VR approaches perform rendering locally...
Motivated by the interest in using light-emitting diode (LED) for underwater optical communication, experiments with low transmitting power and high receiving sensitivity are conducted. On-off keying (OOK) modulation is employed, and 7.5 Mbps and 500 kbps bit rates are achieved with transmitting distances of 10 m and 50 m respectively. For 10 m transmitting distance experiment, the bandwidth limitation...
In recent years, quality of experience (QoE) has been investigated and proved to have both influential factors on user's visual quality and perceptual quality, while the perceptual quality means user's requirement on personalized content should be acquired in optimized quality. That's to say, those segments holding user interested content such as highlights need to be allocated more network resource...
This paper presents a cross-layer depth-texture target bit rate allocation estimation technique for the transmission of Multiview High Efficiency Video Coding (MV-HEVC) texture plus depth content over 3GPP LTE systems. The proposed technique is based on a statistical model which exploits the texture and depth map image characteristics to estimate the optimal depth-texture rate allocation to be used...
360° video, supporting the ability to present views consistent with the rotation of the viewer's head along three axes (roll, pitch, yaw) is the current approach for creation of immersive video experiences. Nevertheless, a more fully natural, photorealistic experience — with support of visual cues that facilitate coherent psycho-visual sensory fusion without the side-effect of cyber-sickness — is...
Single-source HTTP Adaptive Streaming protocols (HAS), such as MPEG-DASH, have become the de-facto solutions to deliver video over the Internet. By avoiding buffer stalling events that are mainly caused by the lack of throughput at client or at server side, HAS protocols increase end-user's Quality of Experience (QoE). We propose to extend HAS capabilities to a pragmatic DASH-compliant Multiple-Source...
Ultra-Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (UDWDM) is a candidate for future Passive Optical Networks (PONs) to sustain the increase of access traffic, providing enhanced capacity with point-to-point logical connections while introducing the Wavelength-To-The-User (WTTU) concept. This is enabled by low cost coherent transceivers with high sensitivity, also furnishing increased splitting ratio and...
The rapidly growing demand for higher data rates in optical access networks, backplanes, memories, on-chip CPU, and chip-to-chip optical interconnects requires novel ultra-high bit rate sources, which are more energy efficient per bit than anything presently existing. A low-cost method to adjust the mirror reflectivity of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) helps to optimize their cavity...
In recent years, Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has gained momentum as an effective solution for delivering videos on the Internet. This trend is further driven by the deployment of existing HTTP cache infrastructures in DASH systems to reduce the traffic load as well as to serve clients better. However, deploying conventional cache servers in DASH systems still suffers from low cache...
This paper compares two allocation methods of bandwidth for each video traffic in multi-view video and audio transmission over bandwidth guaranteed IP networks. The methods are a main viewpoint prioritized allocation method and an equally allocation method. We assume simultaneous video transmission of multiple viewpoints. When bandwidth is insufficient for simultaneously transmitted multiple video...
