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…
Automated data-driven decision-making systems are ubiquitous across a wide spread of online as well as offline services. These systems, depend on sophisticated learning algorithms and available data, to optimize the service function for…
HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is nowadays a popular solution for multimedia delivery. The novelty of HAS lies in the possibility of continuously adapting the streaming session to current network conditions, facilitated by Adaptive Bitrate…
Continuing the current trend, Internet traffic is expected to grow significantly over the coming years, with video traffic consuming the biggest share. On the one hand, this growth poses challenges to access providers (APs), who have to…
The popularity of the video services on the Internet has evolved various mechanisms that target the Quality of Experience (QoE) optimization of video traffic. The video quality has been enhanced through adapting the sending bitrates.…
The 360-degree video allows users to enjoy the whole scene by interactively switching viewports. However, the huge data volume of the 360-degree video limits its remote applications via network. To provide high quality of experience (QoE)…
Recently, the way people consume video content has been undergoing a dramatic change. Plain TV sets, that have been the center of home entertainment for a long time, are losing grounds to Hybrid TV's, PC's, game consoles, and, more…
We explore a novel problem in streaming submodular maximization, inspired by the dynamics of news-recommendation platforms. We consider a setting where users can visit a news website at any time, and upon each visit, the website must…
Distributed Opportunistic Scheduling (DOS) techniques have been recently proposed to improve the throughput performance of wireless networks. With DOS, each station contends for the channel with a certain access probability. If a contention…
Multimedia streaming accounts for the majority of traffic in today's internet. Mechanisms like adaptive bitrate streaming control the bitrate of a stream based on the estimated bandwidth, ideally resulting in smooth playback and a good…
Recent advancements in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled photorealistic rendering of complex scenes, yet widespread adoption on mobile and Extended Reality (XR) devices is hindered by substantial computational and bandwidth…
In real-time systems, the application's behavior has to be predictable at compile-time to guarantee timing constraints. However, modern streaming applications which exhibit adaptive behavior due to mode switching at run-time, may degrade…
The performance seen by individual clients on a wireless local area network (WLAN) is heavily influenced by the manner in which wireless channel capacity is allocated. The popular MAC protocol DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) used in…
Multi-user schedulers are designed to achieve optimal average system utility (e.g. throughput) subject to a set of fairness criteria. In this work, scheduling under temporal fairness constraints is considered. Prior works have shown that a…
In the 360-degree immersive video, a user only views a part of the entire raw video frame based on her viewing direction. However, today's 360-degree video players always fetch the entire panoramic view regardless of users' head movement,…
Streaming analysis is widely used in cloud as well as edge infrastructures. In these contexts, fine-grained application performance can be based on accurate modeling of streaming operators. This is especially beneficial for computationally…
As a typical Cyber-Physical System (CPS), smart water distribution networks require monitoring of underground water pipes with high sample rates for precise data analysis and water network control. Due to poor underground wireless channel…
Adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) over the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which raises numerous delicate questions, is nowadays almost the only approach to video streaming. This paper presents elementary solutions to three key issues:…
