This article provides an overview of residential video delivery systems and presents the
applications, benefits, and challenges of using VBR MPEG video encoding in broadband …

We present efficient schemes for scheduling the delivery of variable-bit-rate MPEG-
compressed video with stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. Video scheduling is …

Large-scale deployment and successful commercialization of digital video services over
computer networks strongly depend on the cost effectiveness of these services. Network …

We present a novel bandwidth allocation scheme for transporting variable-bit-rate MPEG
traffic from a video server. Using time-varying envelopes to characterize the traffic, this …

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

This paper presents the system issues involved with the transmission of pre-encoded
variable bit rate (VBR) MPEG video using the constant bit rate (CBR) service. Conventional …

The transportation of prerecorded, compressed video data without loss of picture quality
requires the network and video servers to support large fluctuations in bandwidth …

Integrated services networks have the framework needed to provide performance
guarantees to multimedia traffic sources such as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) video. This paper …

Providing cost‐effective video‐on‐demand (VOD) services necessitates reducing the
required bandwidth for transporting video over high‐speed networks. In this paper, we …

In this paper, we propose two new techniques for the delivery of compressed prerecorded
video streams across best‐effort networks like the Internet. Current approaches for the …
