Rate adaptation is one of the most important issues in dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH). Due to the frequent fluctuations of the network bandwidth and complex variations of video content, it is difficult to deal with the varying…
Providing a high-quality real-time video streaming experience to mobile users is one of the biggest challenges in cellular networks. This is due to the need of these services for high rates with low variability, which is not easy to…
Bandwidth hungry video content has become the dominant contributor to the data traffic world over. Cellular networks are constantly evolving to meet the growing traffic demands. Over the past few years, wireless multicast has been garnering…
In this paper, we propose a preference-aware cooperative video streaming system for videos encoded using Scalable Video Coding (SVC) where all the collaborating users are interested in watching a video together on a shared screen. However,…
A game-theoretic model is proposed to study the cross-layer problem of joint power and rate control with quality of service (QoS) constraints in multiple-access networks. In the proposed game, each user seeks to choose its transmit power…
The optimization of quality of experience (QoE) in multi-user virtual reality (VR) interactions demands a delicate balance between ultra-low latency, high-fidelity motion synchronization, and equitable resource allocation. While adaptive…
Adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming is the de facto solution for achieving smooth viewing experiences under unstable network conditions. However, most of the existing rate adaptation approaches for ABR are content-agnostic, without considering…
Video streaming today accounts for up to 55\% of mobile traffic. In this paper, we explore streaming videos encoded using Scalable Video Coding scheme (SVC) over highly variable bandwidth conditions such as cellular networks. SVC's unique…
We study video streaming over a slow fading wireless channel. In a streaming application video packets are required to be decoded and displayed in the order they are transmitted as the transmission goes on. This results in per-packet delay…
Traditional optimization methods based on system-wide Quality of Service (QoS) metrics have approached their performance limitations in modern large-scale streaming systems. However, aligning user-level Quality of Experience~(QoE) with…
Point cloud video is the most popular representation of hologram, which is the medium to precedent natural content in VR/AR/MR and is expected to be the next generation video. Point cloud video system provides users immersive viewing…
In virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, the remote display protocol has a big responsibility to transmit video data from a data center-hosted desktop to the endpoint. The protocol must ensure a high level of client perceived…
In an increasingly connected world, wireless networks' monitoring and characterization are of vital importance. Service and application providers need to have a detailed understanding of network performance to offer new solutions tailored…
Over the last few years, the evolution of network and user handsets' technologies, have challenged the telecom industry and the Internet ecosystem. Especially, the unprecedented progress of multimedia streaming services like YouTube, Vimeo…
Metaverse applications such as virtual reality (VR) content streaming, require optimal resource allocation strategies for mobile edge computing (MEC) to ensure a high-quality user experience. In contrast to online reinforcement learning…
Caching and rate allocation are two promising approaches to support video streaming over wireless network. However, existing rate allocation designs do not fully exploit the advantages of the two approaches. This paper investigates the…
In mobile computing systems, users can access network services anywhere and anytime using mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. These devices connect to the Internet via network or telecommunications operators. Users usually have…
Over the last few years, 360{\deg} video traffic on the network has grown significantly. A key challenge of 360{\deg} video playback is ensuring a high quality of experience (QoE) with limited network bandwidth. Currently, most studies…
360{\deg} videos require significant bandwidth to provide an immersive viewing experience. Wireless systems using terahertz (THz) frequency band can meet this high data rate demand. However, self-blockage is a challenge in such systems. To…
In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) multichannel live streaming, helper peers with surplus bandwidth resources act as micro-servers to compensate the server deficiencies in balancing the resources between different channel overlays. With deployment of…
