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.…
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…
With an ever increasing demand for the delivery of internet video service, the service providers are facing a huge challenge to deliver ultra-HD (2k/4k) video at sub-second latency. The multi-access edge computing (MEC) platform actually…
By pre-fetching popular videos into the local caches of edge nodes, wireless edge caching provides an effective means of reducing repeated content deliveries. To meet the various viewing quality requirements of multimedia users, scalable…
With the advent of 5G networks and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are increasingly extending into the network edge. This shift introduces unique challenges, particularly due to the limited cache…
With the continuous evolution of networking technologies, multi-modal services that involve video, audio, and haptic contents are expected to become the dominant multimedia service in the near future. Edge caching is a key technology that…
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…
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…
Multimedia applications, mainly video streaming services, are currently the dominant source of network load worldwide. In recent Video-on-Demand (VoD) and live video streaming services, traditional streaming delivery techniques have been…
With the growing demand for live video streaming, there is an increasing need for low-latency and high-quality transmission, especially with the advent of 5G networks. While 5G offers hardware-level improvements, effective software…
5G communication brings substantial improvements in the quality of service provided to various applications by achieving higher throughput and lower latency. However, interactive multimedia applications (e.g., ultra high definition video…
This paper considers one-hop device-to-device (D2D)-assisted wireless caching networks that cache video files of varying quality levels, with the assumption that the base station can control the video quality but cache-enabled devices…
In this paper, we present a novel content caching and delivery approach for mobile virtual reality (VR) video streaming. The proposed approach aims to maximize VR video streaming performance, i.e., minimizing video frame missing rate, by…
Content-centric networking (CCN) introduces a paradigm shift from a host centric to an information centric communication model for future Internet architectures. It supports the retrieval of a particular content regardless of the physical…
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) deliver a majority of the user-requested content on the Internet, including web pages, videos, and software downloads. A CDN server caches and serves the content requested by users. Designing caching…
Today a large portion of Internet traffic is video. Over The Top (OTT) service providers offer video streaming services by creating a large distributed cloud network on top of a physical infrastructure owned by multiple entities. Our study…
Cellular data traffic almost doubles every year, greatly straining network capacity. The main driver for this development is wireless video. Traditional methods for capacity increase (like using more spectrum and increasing base station…
Video streaming is growing in popularity and has become the most bandwidth-consuming Internet service. As such, robust streaming in terms of low latency and uninterrupted streaming experience, particularly for viewers in distant areas, has…
Recent years have witnessed a new video delivery paradigm: smartrouter-based video delivery network, which is enabled by smartrouters deployed at users' homes, together with the conventional video servers deployed in the datacenters.…
Two main trends in today's internet are of major interest for video streaming services: most content delivery platforms coincide towards using adaptive video streaming over HTTP and new network architectures allowing caching at intermediate…
