This white paper is the outcome of the W\"urzburg seminar on "Crowdsourced Network and QoE Measurements" which took place from 25-26 September 2019 in W\"urzburg, Germany. International experts were invited from industry and academia. They…
QUIC is expected to be a game-changer in improving web application performance. In this paper, we conduct a systematic examination of QUIC's performance over high-speed networks. We find that over fast Internet, the UDP+QUIC+HTTP/3 stack…
LTE/4G is the next generation of cellular network which specifically aims to improve the network performance for data traffic and is currently being rolled out by many network operators. We present results from an extensive LTE measurement…
In edge computing, edge servers are placed in close proximity to end-users. App vendors can deploy their services on edge servers to reduce network latency experienced by their app users. The edge user allocation (EUA) problem challenges…
This paper investigates the co-existence of Wi-Fi and LTE in emerging unlicensed frequency bands which are intended to accommodate multiple radio access technologies. Wi-Fi and LTE are the two most prominent access technologies being…
Future quantum networks will enable the interconnection of multiple users distributed across vast geographic distances. Due to these large separations and limited physical resources, communication will often rely on multi-path routing…
Network Virtualization is one of the key technologies for developing the future mobile networks. However, the performance of virtual mobile entities may not be sufficient for delivering the service required for future networks in terms of…
We take an analytical approach to study Quality of user Experience (QoE) for video streaming applications. First, we show that random linear network coding applied to blocks of video frames can significantly simplify the packet requests at…
Due to the widespread installation of Base Stations, the power consumption of cellular communication is increasing rapidly (BSs). Power consumption rises as traffic does, however, this scenario varies from geolocation to geolocation because…
In late Q1/2023, DTAC and TRUE officially completed their merger. Consequently, this study was initiated to ascertain whether their respective 5G networks had been seamlessly integrated several months following the merger. The investigation…
Quantum communication can enhance internet technology by enabling novel applications that are provably impossible classically. The successful execution of such applications relies on the generation of quantum entanglement between different…
Transmission of video traffic over the Internet has grown exponentially in the past few years with no sign of waning. This increasing demand for video services has changed user expectation of quality. Various mechanisms have been proposed…
The modern Internet supports diverse applications with heterogeneous quality of service (QoS) requirements. Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations offer a promising solution to meet these needs, enhancing coverage in rural areas and…
The present work delivers the results of a survey conducted in Florian\'{o}polis, on the southern region of Brazil, using a digital questionnaire which inquired about the interaction with demand management systems (DMSs) in a smart house…
Broadband access is key to ensuring robust economic development and improving quality of life. Unfortunately, the communication infrastructure deployed in rural areas throughout the world lags behind its urban counterparts due to low…
Quality of Service (QoS) is now regarded as a requirement for all networks in managing resources like bandwidth and avoidance of network impairments like packet loss, jitter, and delay. Media transfer or streaming would be virtually…
Augmented reality (AR) technology is developing fast and provides users with new ways to interact with the real-world surrounding environment. Although the performance of holographic AR multimedia devices can be measured with traditional…
The quality of experience (QoE) delivered by video conferencing systems to end users depends in part on correctly estimating the capacity of the bottleneck link between the sender and the receiver over time. Bandwidth estimation for…
Extended Reality (XR) is an important service in the 5G network and in future 6G networks. In contrast to traditional video on demand services, real-time XR video is transmitted frame-by-frame, requiring low latency and being highly…
