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…
In the last decade, the demand for Internet applications has been increased, which increases the number of data centers across the world. These data centers are usually connected to each other using long-distance and high-speed networks. As…
Congestion in network occurs due to exceed in aggregate demand as compared to the accessible capacity of the resources. Network congestion will increase as network speed increases and new effective congestion control methods are needed,…
Fair queuing is becoming increasingly prevalent in the internet and has been shown to improve performance in many circumstances. Performance could be improved even more if endpoints could detect the presence of fair queuing on a certain…
Recent model-based congestion control algorithms such as BBR use repeated measurements at the endpoint to build a model of the network connection and use it to achieve optimal throughput with low queuing delay. Conversely, applying this…
The multipath transmission scheme can work as an effective way to provide better quality of experiments to end users. Two key research points in the multipath real time video transmission context are congestion control and packet…
In this paper, we revisit the idea to remove Slow Start from congestion control. To do so, we build upon the newly gained freedom of transport protocol extendability offered by QUIC to hint bandwidth estimates from a typical web client to a…
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for ubiquitous streaming like applications in data networks. In this paper, we concentrate on NUM-based rate allocation for streaming applications with the so-called S-curve utility…
Increasingly stringent throughput and latency requirements in datacenter networks demand fast and accurate congestion control. We observe that the reaction time and accuracy of existing datacenter congestion control schemes are inherently…
Most client hosts are equipped with multiple network interfaces (e.g., WiFi and cellular networks). Simultaneous access of multiple interfaces can significantly improve the users' quality of experience (QoE) in video streaming. An intuitive…
Short-form video poses new challenges to the quality assessment of user-generated content (UGC) due to its complex generation pipeline, rapid content variation, and mixed distortions. To address this challenge, we propose an end-to-end…
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) was introduced in 2001 as a multipath variant to traditional transport protocols, i.e. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Concurrent Multipath Transfer (CMT) has…
The live streaming is more challenging than on-demand streaming, because the low latency is also a strong requirement in addition to the trade-off between video quality and jitters in playback. To balance several inherently conflicting…
The traditional TCP congestion control mechanism encounters a number of new problems and suffers a poor performance when the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is used in multihop ad hoc networks. Many of the problems result from medium contention at…
Vehicles shipping sensors for onboard systems are gaining connectivity. This enables information sharing to realize a more comprehensive understanding of the environment. However, peer communication through public cellular networks brings…
Congestion control is vastly important in computer networks. Arising naturally from the bursty nature of Internet traffic, congestion plagues not only the network edge, but also the network core. Many remedies have been proposed to fight…
Consistent quality oriented rate control in video coding has attracted much more attention. However, the existing efforts only focus on decreasing variations between every two adjacent frames, but neglect coding trade-off problem between…
Recent work in decentralized, schedule-driven traffic control has demonstrated the ability to significantly improve traffic flow efficiency in complex urban road networks. However, in situations where vehicle volumes increase to the point…
