The performance evaluation of video transport mechanisms becomes increasingly important
as encoded video accounts for growing portions of the network traffic. Compared to the …

In this paper, we review the recent advances in rate control techniques for video coding. The
rate control algorithms recommended in the video coding standards are briefly described …

High latency and loss rates in the Internet make it difficult to stream audio and video without
introducing a large playback delay. To address these problems, we propose a prefix caching …

Content delivery over the Internet needs to address both the multimedia nature of the
content and the capabilities of the diverse client platforms the content is being delivered to …

Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop describes the change from the current Internet,
which focuses on the democratization of information independent of location or time, to the …

The recently developed H. 264/AVC video codec with Scalable Video Coding (SVC)
extension, compresses non-scalable (single-layer) and scalable video significantly more …

Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) video streaming is widely used for over-the-top (OTT) video delivery.
Recently, streaming providers have been moving towards using Variable Bitrate (VBR) …

Due to the increasing deployment of conversational real-time applications like VoIP and
videoconferencing, the Internet is today facing new challenges. Low end-to-end delay is a …

Streaming videos over cellular networks is highly challenging. Since cellular data is a
relatively scarce resource, many video and network providers offer options for users to …

The transfer of prerecorded, compressed variable-bit-rate video requires multimedia
services to support large fluctuations in bandwidth requirements on multiple time scales …
