In recent years, live video streaming has gained widespread popularity across various social media platforms. Quality of experience (QoE), which reflects end-users' satisfaction and overall experience, plays a critical role for media…
Applications can tailor a network slice by specifying a variety of QoS attributes related to application-specific performance, function or operation. However, some QoS attributes like guaranteed bandwidth required by the application do vary…
In the context of view-dependent point-cloud streaming in a scene, our rate allocation is "adaptive" in the sense that it priorities the point-cloud models depending on the camera view and the visibility of the objects and their distance as…
The exponential growth of multimedia streaming services over the Internet emphasizes the increasing significance of ensuring a seamless and high-quality streaming experience for users. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has emerged…
Video streaming, in various forms of video on demand (VOD), live, and 360 degree streaming, has grown dramatically during the past few years. In comparison to traditional cable broadcasters whose contents can only be watched on TVs, video…
Preparing high-quality 360-degree video for HTTP Adaptive Streaming requires encoding each sequence into multiple representations spanning different resolutions and quantization parameters (QPs). For ultra-high-resolution immersive content…
Online video streaming has fundamental limitations on the transmission bandwidth and computational capacity and super-resolution is a promising potential solution. However, applying existing video super-resolution methods to online…
