Inferring the quality of streaming video applications is important for Internet service providers, but the fact that most video streams are encrypted makes it difficult to do so. We develop models that infer quality metrics (\ie, startup…
Streaming video is becoming the predominant type of traffic over the Internet with reports forecasting the video content to account for 80% of all traffic by 2019. With significant investment on Internet backbone, the main bottleneck…
In this study, the Active Control in an Intelligent and Distributed Environment (ACIDE) media distribution model solution and algorithms are proposed for livestreaming in capacity efficient mobile wireless networks. The elements of the…
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 study the content placement problem for cache delivery video-on-demand systems under static random network topologies with fixed heavy-tailed video demand. The performance measure is the amount of server load; we wish to minimize the…
We propose to demonstrate a mobile server assisted P2P system for on-demand video streaming. Our proposed solution uses a combination of 3G and ad-hoc Wi-Fi connections, to enable mobile devices to download content from a centralised server…
While edge video caching has great potential to decrease the core network traffic as well as the users' experienced latency, it is often challenging to exploit the caches in current client-driven video streaming solutions due to two key…
Mobile network operators are considering caching as one of the strategies to keep up with the increasing demand for high-definition wireless video streaming. By prefetching popular content into memory at wireless access points or end user…
In the rapidly evolving field of multimedia services, video streaming has become increasingly prevalent, demanding innovative solutions to enhance user experience and system efficiency. This paper introduces a novel approach that integrates…
In recent years, research efforts tried to exploit peer-to-peer (P2P) systems in order to provide Live Streaming (LS) and Video-on-Demand (VoD) services. Most of these research efforts focus on the development of distributed P2P block…
The demand and usage of 360$^{\circ}$ video services are expected to increase. However, despite these services being highly bandwidth intensive, not much is known about the potential value that basic bandwidth saving techniques such as…
Large-scale video repositories are increasingly available for modern video understanding and generation tasks. However, transforming raw videos into high-quality, task-specific datasets remains costly and inefficient. We present DataCube,…
The increasing demand for video streaming services is the key driver of modern wireless and mobile communications. For robust and high-quality delivery of video content over wireless and mobile networks, the main challenge is sending image…
We study robust and efficient distributed algorithms for searching, storing, and maintaining data in dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience heavy node churn (i.e., nodes join and leave…
Unlike conventional videos, 360{\deg} videos give freedom to users to turn their heads, watch and interact with the content owing to its immersive spherical environment. Although these movements are arbitrary, similarities can be observed…
Live video streaming has become a mainstay as a standard communication solution for several enterprises worldwide. To efficiently stream high-quality live video content to a large amount of offices, companies employ distributed video…
The demand for streaming media and live video conferencing is at peak and expected to grow further, thereby the need for low-cost streaming services with better quality and lower latency is essential. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a…
We explore the opportunities and design options enabled by novel SDN and NFV technologies, by re-designing a dynamic Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. Our system, named MOSTO, provides performance levels comparable to that of a…
Live video broadcasting normally requires a multitude of skills and expertise with domain knowledge to enable multi-camera productions. As the number of cameras keep increasing, directing a live sports broadcast has now become more…
We introduce a cutting-edge video compression framework tailored for the age of ubiquitous video data, uniquely designed to serve machine learning applications. Unlike traditional compression methods that prioritize human visual perception,…
