Variable-threshold buffer based adaptation for DASH mobile Video Streaming
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):1 - 7
Cited by: Papers (1)Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) was introduced to enable high video quality streaming over HTTP. DASH depends on the adaptation logic at the client to choose which video bitrate to stream from the content server for each chunk. For clients receiving video over a cellular network, the cellular first hop tends to be the bandwidth bottleneck and can exhibit significant swings in available... View full abstract»

QoE prediction for IPTV based on BP_adaboost neural networks
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):32 - 37With the popularity of IPTV in television industry, IPTV operators pay more attention on user's experience so that they could gain more revenue under fierce competition. Quality of Experience (QoE) is used to describe the user's degree of satisfaction and the prediction of QoE is gradually to be the interest for IPTV operators. To solve this problem, we propose a QoE prediction algorithm. Specific... View full abstract»

Novel robust decoding algorithm-aware channel condition for video streaming (RDVS)
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):38 - 43Although H.264 standard is the most efficient video codec, it is sensitive to transmission error over noisy channels. This issue is achieved by several error resilience/concealment techniques, to deal with packet losses. Whereas, these typical techniques are not suited for streaming video transmission which requires high quality. In fact, since the H.264 standard provides different type of frame, ...

Rate-energy tradeoff in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer over Rayleigh block fading channel
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):44 - 49In this paper, we consider a point-to-point single antenna communication system where the receiver decodes information and harvests energy at the same time. Two practical schemes, namely power splitting scheme and time switching scheme, are investigated, in which the receiver splits or switches signals for information decoding and energy harvesting. We derive the characteristics of the formulated ... View full abstract»

Throughput maximization for wireless powered communication
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):50 - 55In this paper, we consider a wireless communication pair powered with radio frequency (RF) signal, in which the transmitter first harvest energy from an energy access point and then transmit information to the destination. Optimization problems aiming at maximizing throughput are investigated with a consideration of two types of power constraints at the transmitter: i) short-term power constraint,...

Performance analysis of decoupled cell association in multi-tier hybrid networks using real blockage environments
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):62 - 67Millimeter wave (mmWave) links have the potential to offer high data rates and capacity needed in fifth generation (5G) networks, however they have very high penetration and path loss. A solution to this problem is to bring the base station closer to the end-user through heterogeneous networks (HetNets). HetNets could be designed to allow users to connect to different base stations (BSs) in the up... View full abstract»

Adaptive bitrate video delivery using HTTP/2 over MPTCP architecture
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):68 - 73
Cited by: Papers (3)Adaptive bitrate streaming is one of the most popular methods to deliver high definition video content for HTTP clients. Commonly used techniques rely primarily on the estimation of network bandwidth and/or buffer state client-side. Inaccurate estimation leads to performance degradation due to a lack of correct bitrate encoding per chunk, and poor network utilization as a result of inflexible tran... View full abstract»

Robust estimation based crowd sensing enhancement for iBeacon map construction
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):74 - 79For crowd sensing applications, the inaccuracy and conflict of the reported samples, commonly caused by untrained participants and heterogeneous mobile devices, have received more and more attention. Given this, constructing a high-quality radio map of iBeacons via crowd sensing is very challenging. In this paper, we resort to the family of robust estimation and design a robust radio map construct... View full abstract»

Routing impact on network lifetime maximization using power/rate trade-off in WVSN
Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):97 - 102In Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs), one of the most important issues is to balance video data coding versus the perceived video quality at the sink, while maximizing the network lifetime. That is, better quality generates higher data rates and consequently consumes additional resources (i.e. energy). Finding such a balance is not obvious, especially in a distributed fashion.
