The evolution of digital video technology and the continuous improvements in
communication infrastructure is propelling a great number of interactive multimedia …

While the hierarchical B frames based scalable video coding (SVC) extension of the H.
264/AVC standard achieves significantly improved compression over the initial H. 264/AVC …

We consider the problem of tracking the state of Gauss-Markov processes over rate-limited
erasure-prone links. We concentrate first on the scenario in which several independent …

We survey twenty years of research literature on video frame size forecasting. We organize
the discussion of the literature using model type and model parameters as a taxonomy. We …

Scalable video coding (SVC) is a good approach for video services over heterogeneous
networks. To achieve efficient video broadcasting systems, a good understanding on the …

With the fast-paced development of computing technologies, mobile devices have almost
sufficient computation and communication capabilities to support mobile multimedia …

The scalable extension of H. 264/AVC, called H. 264/SVC, is a current standardization
project of Joint Video Team (JVT). An encoded SVC bitstream consists of an H. 264/AVC …

The recent scalable video coding (SVC) extension to the H. 264/AVC video coding standard
has unprecedented compression efficiency while supporting a wide range of scalability …

The Joint Video Team, composed by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and
the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG), has standardized a scalable extension of …

Providing requisite Quality of service (QoS) guarantees in wireless multi-hop networks is
much more challenging than in wired networks. This is mainly due to its dynamic topology …
