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…
HTTP-based video streaming is a key application on the Internet today, comprising the majority of Internet traffic today. Yet customers remain dissatisfied with video quality, resulting in lost revenue for content providers. Recent studies…
Blind or no-reference video quality assessment of user-generated content (UGC) has become a trending, challenging, heretofore unsolved problem. Accurate and efficient video quality predictors suitable for this content are thus in great…
Internet evolves and operates largely without a central coordination, the lack of which was and is critically important to the rapid growth and evolution of Internet. However, the lack of management in turn makes it very difficult to…
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…
Over the last decade, Web traffic has significantly shifted towards HTTPS due to an increased awareness for privacy. However, DNS traffic is still largely unencrypted, which allows user profiles to be derived from plaintext DNS queries.…
We revisit the long-standing problem of providing network QoS to applications, and propose the concept of judicious QoS -- combining the cheaper, best effort IP service with the cloud, which offers a highly reliable infrastructure and the…
Video services in vehicular networks play a significant role in our daily traveling. In this paper, we propose a cooperative communication scheme to facilitate video data transmission, utilizing the mobility of vehicles and the cooperation…
This paper studies secure video streaming in cache-enabled small cell networks, where some of the cache-enabled small cell base stations (BSs) helping in video delivery are untrusted. Unfavorably, caching improves the eavesdropping…
The great efficiency achieved by the BitTorrent protocol for the distribution of large amounts of data inspired its adoption to provide multimedia content on-demand delivery over the Internet. As it is not designed for this purpose, some…
Data quality is fundamental to modern data science workflows, where data continuously flows as unbounded streams feeding critical downstream tasks, from elementary analytics to advanced artificial intelligence models. Existing data quality…
In this work, we study the guaranteed delivery model which is widely used in online display advertising. In the guaranteed delivery scenario, ad exposures (which are also called impressions in some works) to users are guaranteed by…
Packet losses are common events in today's networks. They usually result in longer delivery times for application data since retransmissions are the de facto technique to recover from such losses. Retransmissions is a good strategy for many…
Large Language Models have shown remarkable efficacy in generating streaming data such as text and audio, thanks to their temporally uni-directional attention mechanism, which models correlations between the current token and previous…
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…
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network needs architectural modification for smooth and fast transportation of video content. The viewer imports chunk video objects through the proxy server. The enormous growth of user requests in a small session of…
Optimizing network throughput in real-world dynamic systems is critical, especially for diverse and delay-sensitive multimedia data types such as VoIP and video streaming. Traditional routing protocols, which rely on static metrics and…
Internet traffic continues to grow relentlessly, driven largely by increasingly high resolution video content. Although studies have shown that the majority of packets processed by Internet routers are pass-through traffic, they nonetheless…
The surge in popularity of short-form video content, particularly through platforms like TikTok and Instagram, has led to an exponential increase in data traffic, presenting significant challenges in network resource management. Traditional…
Remaining a dominant force in Internet traffic, video streaming captivates end users, service providers, and researchers. This paper takes a pragmatic approach to reviewing recent advances in the field by focusing on the prevalent streaming…
