This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the playback delay experienced by a population of heterogeneous clients, in video streaming applications. We consider a typical broa...
— The volume of multimedia data, including video, served through Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, high bandwidth transfer rates are rarely available...
Providing continuous video playback with graceful quality degradation over wireless channels is fraught with challenges. Video applications require stringent delay guarantees and ...
In this work we propose an analytic framework for managing the optimal bandwidth required for a smooth playback of a stored video streaming service. First, we argue that the mean b...
Scalable streams provide a layered representation for transmitting media contents over a channel with packet losses and variable delay. In general, real-time streaming scalable me...
