In this paper, an end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) framework for streaming services in 3G mobile networks is considered. A solution based on a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) hosted multimedia streaming service is studied to avoid accessing through an external IP packet data network (IP-PDN) to streaming services. Under this scenario, the interaction between UMTS and IETF protocols and mec...

Due to the limited resources in thin-clients on mobile devices and the large amount of computation for decoding streaming media, it is not easy to support the QoS of streaming media for thin-client on mobile environment. To solve the problems, the terminal servers would be charged for decoding the streaming media and thin-clients have a role to update only the changed areas in their screen. In ...

In this paper, we study a peer-to-peer media streaming system with the following characteristics: (1) its streaming capacity grows dynamically; (2) peers do not exhibit serverlike behavior; (3) peers are heterogeneous in their bandwidth contribution; and (4) each streaming session may involve multiple supplying peers. Based on these characteristics, we investigate two problems: (1) how to assig...

In this work we introduce a new algorithm for detecting outliers on streaming data in R. The basic idea is to compute a dyadic decomposition into cubes in R of the streaming data. Dyadic decomposition can be obtained by recursively bisecting the cube the data lies in. Dyadic decomposition obtained under streaming setting is understood as streaming dyadic decomposition. If we view the streaming ...

To provide a live, active and high-quality virtual touring streaming experience, we propose an unmanned drone stereoscopic streaming paradigm using a control and streaming infrastructure of a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi grid. Our system allows users to actively control the streaming captured by a drone, receive and watch the streaming using a head mount display (HMD); a Wi-Fi grid is deployed across the remot...

MATTHEW D. JAMES: An Investigation of Turbulent Streaming by Direct Numerical and Large Eddy Simulation (Under the direction of Alberto Scotti) Above a solid bottom beneath non-linear shallow water waves, it is found that due to turbulence asymmetry between subsequent wave half-cycles, a net drift is generated in the direction opposite of surface wave propagation. This phenomenon is investigate...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have shown enormous potential in delivering live streaming content for both IPTV and video conferencing. The fundamental capacity limits of the supported streaming rate by P2P, however, remains unclear, especially with topology constraints. We develop the first unifying framework and approximation algorithms that can compute the streaming capacity of a P2P network ove...

Video streaming is becoming increasingly popular among the wireless users. However, supporting video streaming over the wireless networks is not an easy task due to the dynamic radio propagation environment, limited radio resources as well as Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the video streaming that need to be satisfied at acceptable levels. Most studies proposed to support video stream...

This chapter presents a holistic review of recent research advances in peer-assisted streaming systems, including both live and on-demand streaming. We approach this task by first presenting design objectives of streaming systems in general, and then discuss differences between live and on-demand streaming. These common and different design objectives motivate the protocol design space in strea...

In large-scale P2P live streaming systems, it is shown that peers in an unpopular channel often experience worse streaming quality than those in popular channels. In this paper, by analyzing 130 GB worth of traces from a large-scale P2P streaming system, UUSee, we observe that a large number of “unpopular” channels, those with dozens or hundreds of concurrent peers, tend to experience inferior ...
