			<description><![CDATA[On August 27, 2009, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opened a formal inquiry [1] into how to improve its spectrum policies to encourage and support wireless innovation. While the 25-page document focuses on the U.S. regulatory environment, the questions asked and issues discussed are relevant to innovation issues in all countries. The formal deadline for comments in this inquiry is after the publication date of this magazine. All the comments received will be publicly available [2] and are expected to provide a wide range of viewpoints on this vital issue that could be useful in policy deliberations in other countries. They can also be a useful primer for readers wanting to better understand the ongoing controversies in spectrum policy and their relationship to wireless innovation.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Wireless ad hoc communication on the nanoscale will require thinking outside of the traditional radio spectrum. New applications will utilize new forms of wireless communication channels. For example, nanoscale communication will enable precise mechanisms for directly interacting with cells in vivo. Information may be sent to and from specific cells within the body, allowing detection and healing of diseases on the cellular scale. From a medical standpoint, the use of current wireless techniques to communicate with implants is unacceptable for many reasons, including bulky size, inability to use magnetic resonance imaging after implantation, potential radiation damage, surgical invasiveness, need to recharge/replace power, post-operative pain and long recovery times, and reduced quality of life for the patient. Better, more humane in vivo implant communication is needed. Development of both biological and engineered nanomachines is progressing; such machines will need to communicate [1]. Unfortunately, networking vast collections of nanoscale sensors and robots using current techniques, including wireless techniques, is not possible without communication mechanisms that exceed nanoscale volumes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Internet is incontrovertibly a great success that has changed our social and economic world. Today, over one billion users access the Internet on regular basis, more than 100 million users have downloaded at least one (multi) media file, and over 47 million of them do so regularly, searching in more than 160 exabytes of content. The content is expected to rise to more than 990 exabytes before 2012, fueled mainly by the users themselves [1]. It is envisaged that in the near- to mid-term future, mobile Internet will provide the means to share and distribute (new) multimedia content and services with superior quality and striking flexibility, in a trusted and personalized way, improving citizensÂ¿ quality of life, working conditions, edutainment, and safety.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Future Internet has become the federating theme for European research on communication networks and services. At the core lies research on communication networks toward an efficient, scalable, and reliable future Internet coupled with research on the underlying technologies, in particular mobile and wireless access and optical networks. This article first presents the motivation for a bold initiative for future Internet research in Europe. In this context a changing business environment for telecommunications and the Internet, and the opportunities to provide future Internet services are discussed. From a technical perspective the limitations of the current Internet technology are outlined. The research activities that address the challenge of future Internet research are introduced under three main lines: future Internet architecture and network technologies, spectrum-efficient access to future networks, and converged infrastructures in support of future networks. Examples of the first promising approaches to significantly change the principles of the Internet architecture and protocols are presented.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article presents a middleware architecture to support multimedia services across intertechnology radio access networks in a secure and seamless manner. The proposed architecture uses the media-independent handover framework, where the handover decision function is based on triggering/collecting statistics from the physical, network, and application layers so that an ongoing multimedia session (video) can be transferred seamlessly and securely (using context transfer) across intertechnology radio access networks. Simulation results show that when a vertical handover is based on the proposed MIH framework (including the context transfer of AAA information), handover latency is reduced by 38 percent during WiFi to UMTS handover and 20 percent during UMTS to WiFi handover compared to a non-MIH-based handover scheme.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The key enabling function for seamless mobility and service continuity among a variety of wireless access technologies is the handover. Handovers within the same radio system are addressed by the standardization bodies involved in the development of the corresponding technologies (e.g., 3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE, DVB), while handovers between heterogeneous systems are managed by protocols developed by the IETF. However, the interoperability between radio access systems that is required to realize the vision of Beyond 3G calls for coordinated actions and integrated solutions combining individual strengths. This article reviews emerging protocols and architectures aiming to support intersystem handovers between nextgeneration wireless systems and presents an optimized handover framework built around the functionality introduced by the IEEE 802.21 standard. Mapping of this framework to the entities of the 3GPP evolved system architecture is discussed and handover procedures involving key entities of this architecture are presented.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Search for and delivery of multimedia content will be of great importance in the years to come. Common data formats and appropriate architectures that will pave the way toward this challenging task must be defined. In this article a framework enabling mobile device users to search for and retrieve multimedia objects over a distributed P2P-based network is presented. The framework was an outcome of the research that took place within the VICTORY European Project. The proposed concept is to develop a P2P-based application that, having as a basis the state of the art in the field of 3D search algorithms, would be able to deliver search and retrieval functionalities to users on the move through mobile devices. Following a service-oriented approach, a framework able to deliver these functionalities to mobile user agents in a device- and application-independent way has been implemented.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Delivering protected seamless content services over heterogeneous networks should be solidly sustained on top of architectures that can offer support for guaranteed quality delivery according to network or consumer requirements. The delivery of personalized, scalable, seamless, and trusted multimedia content delivery, while adequately protecting the content, is a key factor to provide seamless content services to the final user and provide a framework for user participation. This article describes novel forms of delivering seamless content services over P2P networks using multilayered/multiviewed content coding techniques, such as SVC/MVC, multisource/ multinetwork streaming, and adaptation, with special focus on enabling content protection and lightweight asset management for a secure and privacy keeping content delivery. The implementation has been validated in the framework of the European Project SEA (IST-214063).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In this article an interoperable framework for the delivery of scalable media resources (e.g., in the standardized scalable video coding format) is presented. The framework provides support for video on demand as well as multicast streaming, and performs efficient, generic, and interoperable adaptation of streamed content based on MPEG- 21 Digital Item Adaptation. The server as well as the clients of the streaming framework implement the MPEG Extensible Middleware and utilize the MPEG Query Format for querying the available media resources. The framework has been fully integrated into the VLC media player. The architecture for both VoD and multicast is presented in detail. Finally, a comparison in terms of performance of the generic MPEG-21 metadata-based adaptation approach to an SVC-specific adaptation approach is provided.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=5300290&arnumber=5300304]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[The ITU-T and ISO/IEC standard for scalable video coding was recently finalized. SVC allows for scalability of the video bitstream in the temporal, spatial, or fidelity domain, or any combination of those. Video scalability may be used for different purposes, such as saving bandwidth when the same media content is required to be sent simultaneously on a broadcast medium at different resolutions to support heterogeneous devices, when unequal error protection shall be used for coverage extension in wireless broadcasting, as well as for rate shaping in IPTV environments. Furthermore, it may also be useful in layered multicast transmission over the Internet or peer-to-peer networks, or in any transmission scenario where prioritized transmission for network flows is meaningful. In order to make usage of SVC in the aforementioned use cases, standards for defining the transport format and procedure are required. Therefore, we give a detailed overview of the recently finished SVC standards on transport over IP/RTP and the MPEG-2 transport stream. Both standards are important for IPTV and video on demand, where the first is important for SVC transport over mobile broadcast/multicast channels, and the latter is also important for SVC transport over traditional digital broadcast channels.]]></description>
