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…
We consider a group of mobile users, within proximity of each other, who are interested in watching the same online video at roughly the same time. The common practice today is that each user downloads the video independently on her mobile…
Low-latency video streaming over 5G has become rapidly popular over the last few years due to its increased usage in hosting virtual events, online education, webinars, and all-hands meetings. Our work aims to address the absence of studies…
Multimedia traffic is predicted to account for 82% of the total data traffic by the year 2020. With the increasing popularity of video streaming applications like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, popular video content is often required…
5G communication brings substantial improvements in the quality of service provided to various applications by achieving higher throughput and lower latency. However, interactive multimedia applications (e.g., ultra high definition video…
Video broadcast/multicast over wireless access networks is an attractive research issue in the field of wireless communication. With the rapid improvement of various wireless network technologies, it is now possible to provide high quality…
Research in Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and Named Data Networking (NDN) has produced many protocol designs and software prototypes, but they need to be validated and evaluated by real usage on the Internet, which is also critical…
The development of the internet has allowed for the global distribution of content, redefining media communication and property structures through various streaming platforms. Previous studies successfully clarified the factors contributing…
Mobile device users can now easily capture and socially share video clips in a timely manner by uploading them wirelessly to a server. When attending crowded events, such as an exhibition or the Olympic Games, however, timely sharing of…
In spite of much progress and many advances, cost-effective, high-quality video delivery over the internet remains elusive. To address this ongoing challenge, we propose Sunstar, a solution that leverages simultaneous downloads from…
The combination of video streaming services and wireless networks plays an important role in many fields. In this paper, we present an NS-3-based simulation platform for evaluating and optimizing the performance of the video streaming…
In the paper, we proposed a novel algorithm dedicated to adaptive video streaming based on HTTP. The algorithm employs a hybrid play-out strategy which combines two popular approaches: an estimation of network bandwidth and a control of a…
Volumetric video is an emerging key technology for immersive representation of 3D spaces and objects. Rendering volumetric video requires lots of computational power which is challenging especially for mobile devices. To mitigate this, we…
We consider extensions and improvements on our previous work on dynamic adaptive video streaming in a multi-cell multiuser ``small cell'' wireless network. Previously, we treated the case of single-antenna base stations and, starting from a…
Understanding continuous video streams plays a fundamental role in real-time applications including embodied AI and autonomous driving. Unlike offline video understanding, streaming video understanding requires the ability to process video…
The increase in video streaming has presented a challenge of handling stream request effectively, especially over networks that are variable. This paper describes a new adaptive video streaming architecture capable of changing the video…
The Internet has recently witnessed the convergence of online social network services and online video services: users import videos from content sharing sites, and propagate them along the social connections by re-sharing them. Such social…
Video streaming is dominating the Internet. To compete with the performance of traditional cable and satellite options, content providers outsource the content delivery to third-party content distribution networks and brokers. However, no…
We address the problem of video streaming packets from an Access Point (AP) to multiple clients over a shared wireless channel with fading. In such systems, each client maintains a buffer of packets from which to play the video, and an…
Recent years have witnessed a new video delivery paradigm: smartrouter-based peer video content delivery network, which is enabled by smartrouters deployed at users' homes. ChinaCache (one of the largest CDN providers in China) and Youku (a…
