HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is nowadays a popular solution for multimedia delivery. The novelty of HAS lies in the possibility of continuously adapting the streaming session to current network conditions, facilitated by Adaptive Bitrate…
In this paper, we propose a preference-aware cooperative video streaming system for videos encoded using Scalable Video Coding (SVC) where all the collaborating users are interested in watching a video together on a shared screen. However,…
In this paper, we propose a more refined video segment based Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) enhanced cache update strategy, which takes into account the client's playback status and transmission state, MEC cache capacity and the popularity of…
MPEG has recently proposed Server and Network Assisted Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (SAND-DASH) for video streaming over the Internet. In contrast to the purely client-based video streaming in which each client makes its own…
The predominant use of wireless access networks is for media streaming applications, which are only gaining popularity as ever more devices become available for this purpose. However, current access networks treat all packets identically,…
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…
We propose a digital twin-assisted adaptive preloading scheme to enhance bandwidth efficiency and user quality of experience (QoE) in short video streaming. We first analyze the relationship between the achievable throughput and video…
The Quality of Experience (QoE) is the users satisfaction while streaming a video session over an over-the-top (OTT) platform like YouTube. QoE of YouTube reflects the smooth streaming session without any buffering and quality shift events.…
The introduction of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) helped reduce the consumption of resource in video delivery, but its client-based rate adaptation is unable to optimally use the available end-to-end network bandwidth. We…
We propose and analyze centralized and distributed algorithms for device-to-device video scheduling and streaming. The proposed algorithms address jointly the problems of device-to-device link scheduling and video quality adaptation in…
While video streaming algorithms are a hot research area, with interesting new approaches proposed every few months, little is known about the behavior of the streaming algorithms deployed across large online streaming platforms that…
As mobile devices become increasingly popular for video streaming, it's crucial to optimize the streaming experience for these devices. Although deep learning-based video enhancement techniques are gaining attention, most of them cannot…
Applications that allow sharing of user-created short videos exploded in popularity in recent years. A typical short video application allows a user to swipe away the current video being watched and start watching the next video in a video…
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…
The rapid shift toward video on-demand and real time information systems has affected mobile as well as wired networks. The research community has placed a strong focus on optimizing the Quality of Experience (QoE) of video traffic, mainly…
360-degree video provides an immersive 360-degree viewing experience and has been widely used in many areas. The 360-degree video live streaming systems involve capturing, compression, uplink (camera to video server) and downlink (video…
HTTP based adaptive video streaming has become a popular choice of streaming due to the reliable transmission and the flexibility offered to adapt to varying network conditions. However, due to rate adaptation in adaptive streaming, the…
This paper introduces a novel dynamic optimization framework for video streaming that leverages Network Digital Twin (NDT) technology to address the challenges posed by fluctuating wireless network conditions. Traditional adaptive streaming…
The emerging video applications greatly increase the demand in network bandwidth that is not easy to scale. To provide higher quality of experience (QoE) under limited bandwidth, a recent trend is to leverage the heterogeneity of quality…
Virtual reality has been gaining popularity in recent years caused by the proliferation of affordable consumer-grade devices such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Samsung VR. Amongst the various VR applications, 360{\deg} video streaming is…
