In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
We study video transcoding for accelerated channel changes in IPTV systems. Video transcoding at the Retransmission Server not only reduces the channel change latency, but also re...
Combining multiple information sources, typically from several data streams is a very promising approach, both in experiments and to some extend in various real-life applications. ...
— A generic mechanism for end-user transmission rate control into a differentiated services Internet is formulated and basic results of corresponding Nash equilibria are proved. ...
Abstract—In many applications the traffic traversing the network has inter-packet dependencies due to application-level encoding schemes. For some applications, e.g., multimedia...
