In this paper, we address the problem of controlling a system over an unreliable connection that is affected by time-varying delays and randomly occurring packet losses. A novel sequence-based approach is proposed that extends a given…
The recursive intra-frame block partitioning decision process, a crucial component of the next-generation video coding standards, exerts significant influence over the encoding time. In this paper, we propose an encoder-decoder neural…
Video on Demand system over the wireless mobile network is a system that provides video services to mobile clients.The main problem with these systems is the high service delay where the mobile clients have to wait to view their favorite…
Edge caching can significantly improve the 5G networks' performance both in terms of delay and backhaul traffic. We use a reinforcement learning-based (RL-based) caching technique that can adapt to time-location-dependent popularity…
We present a multi-channel P2P Video-on-Demand (VoD) system using "plug-and-play" helpers. Helpers are heterogenous "micro-servers" with limited storage, bandwidth and number of users they can serve simultaneously. Our proposed system has…
There is an increasing demand for P2P streaming in particular for layered video. In this category of applications, the stream is composed of hierarchically encoded sub-streams layers namely the base layer and enhancements layers. We…
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) deliver content (e.g. Web pages, videos) to geographically distributed end-users over the Internet. Some contents do sometimes attract the attention of a large group of end-users. This often leads to flash…
