In mobile computing systems, users can access network services anywhere and anytime using mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. These devices connect to the Internet via network or telecommunications operators. Users usually have some expectations about the services provided to them by different operators. Users’ expectations along with additional factors such as cognitive and behavi...

The usage of HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has become widely spread in multimedia services. Because it allows the service providers to improve the network resource utilization and user's Quality of Experience (QoE). Using this technology, the video playback interruption is reduced since the network and server status in addition to capability of user device, all are taken into account by HAS cli...

Internet of Things (IoT) services have grown substantially in recent years. Consequently, IoT service providers (SPs) are emerging the market and competing to offer their services. Many applications utilize these an integrated manner with different Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. Thus, provisioning end-to-end QoS is getting more indispensable for platforms. However, system by using only ...

We provide a unified framework using which we design scalable dynamic adaptive video streaming algorithms based on index based policies (dubbed DASIP Fig. 2) to maximize the Quality of Experience (QoE) provided to clients using video streaming services. Due to the distributed nature of our algorithm DAS-IP, it can be easily implemented in lieu of popular existing Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over...

Stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) services have become more popular recently amid promise of providing immersive quality of experience (QoE) to the end-users with the help of binocular depth. However, various arisen artifacts in the stereoscopic 3D processing chain might cause discomfort and severely degrade the QoE. Unfortunately, although the causes and nature of artifacts have already been...

With the inevitable dominance of video traffic on the Internet, providing perceptually good video quality is becoming a challenging task. This is partly due to the bursty nature of video traffic, changing network conditions and limitations of network transport protocols. This growth of video traffic has made Quality of Experience (QoE) of the end user the focus of the research community. In con...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the initial version of fourth-generation (4G) networks which provides ubiquitous broadband access. LTE supports multimedia Quality of Service (QoS) traffic with high data transfer speed, fast communication connectivity, and high security. Multimedia traffic over LTE networks is one of the highest percentages of mobile traffic and it has been growing rapidly in recen...

Mobile multimedia networks are enlarging the Internet of Things (IoT) portfolio with a huge number of multimedia services for different applications. Those services run on dynamic topologies due to device mobility or failures and wireless channel impairments, such as mobile robots or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) environments for rescue or surveillance missions. In those scenarios, beaconless O...
