We study the dynamics of network selection in heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets).
Users in such networks selfishly select the best radio access technology (RAT) with the …

IPTV services will become key services in the next-generation network (NGN). To provide a
high-quality service for users, designing and managing the quality of experience (QoE) …

This paper deals with the optimal allocation of MPEG-2 encoding and media-independent
forward error correction (FEC) rates under a total given bandwidth. The optimality is defined …

The use of adaptive-bitrate-streaming services over networks has been increasing in recent
years. The quality of adaptive-bitrate-streaming services is primarily affected by the video …

Video streaming, in particular, hypertext transfer protocol based (HTTP) adaptive streaming
(HAS) of video, is expected to be a dominant application over mobile networks in the near …

We address the problem of video quality prediction and control for high-resolution video
transmitted over lossy packet networks. In packet video, the bitstream flows through several …

Indiscriminated packet discards strongly degrade the quality perceived by end users of
MPEG video transmissions. This paper investigates different Quality of Service (QoS) …

Video delivery from a server to a client across a network is an important component of many
multimedia applications. While delivering a video stream across a resource constrained …

In this book, the author addresses technologies that are being used in emerging cellular
markets. These include GSM/EGPRS and CDMA which are being deployed at a rapid pace …

Adaptive multimedia streaming relies on controlled adjustment of content bitrate and
consequent video quality variation in order to meet the bandwidth constraints of the …
