Traditional per-title encoding schemes aim to optimize encoding resolutions to deliver the highest perceptual quality for each representation. XPSNR is observed to correlate better with the subjective quality of VVC-coded bitstreams.…
The Quality of Experience (QoE) based service management remains key for successful provisioning of multimedia services in next-generation networks such as 5G/6G, which requires proper tools for quality monitoring, prediction and resource…
Multihoming for a video Content Delivery Network (CDN) allows edge peering servers to deliver video chunks through different Internet Service Providers (ISPs), to achieve an improved quality of service (QoS) for video streaming users.…
An important concept in wireless systems has been quality of experience (QoE)-aware video transmission. Such communications are considered not only connection-based communications but also content-aware communications, since the video…
We consider the optimal design of a scheduling policy for adaptive video streaming in a wireless network formed by several users and helpers. A feature of such networks is that any user is typically in the range of multiple helpers. Hence,…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is advancing and the adoption of internet-connected devices in everyday use is constantly growing. This increase not only affects the traffic from other sources in the network, but also the communication quality…
Data communication in cloud-based distributed stream data analytics often involves a collection of parallel and pipelined TCP flows. As the standard TCP congestion control mechanism is designed for achieving "fairness" among competing flows…
