As different types of wireless networks are converging into an all-IP network, ie, the Internet,
it can be expected that in the near future video-on-demand (VoD) will be widely applied to …

Mobile ad hoc networks without centralized infrastructure change their topology rapidly
because of node mobility, making multimedia applications difficult to run across wireless …

Video-on-demand (VoD) is an essential technology for many multimedia applications.
However, it remains challenging to efficiently deliver on-demand streams to a large number …

Cluster-based routes help data transmission by acting as backbone paths in wireless ad hoc
networks. Some mobile users form a cluster to obtain common multimedia services …

With the growing popularity of the Internet, there is an increasing demand to deliver
continuous media (CM) streams over the Internet. However, packets may be damaged or …

In the past few years, video streaming has been one of the most prominent applications in
the Internet. There are basically two types of approaches to deliver on-demand video …

Maintenance and upgrades to the significant storage infrastructure in a video server often
create a heterogenous disk array. We show how to manage the energy consumption of such …

In this paper, we propose a novel robust end-to-end approach, referred to as packet
permutation (PP), to deliver pre-compressed video streams over the Internet. We focus on …

Recently, as the quality of multimedia data gets higher, multimedia servers require larger
storage capacity and higher I/O bandwidth. In these large scale multimedia servers, the load …

Generally, a large-scale video server is composed of numerous disk striping groups. The
striping policies employed by each disk striping group largely determine the performance of …
