This paper addresses the problem of streaming packetized media over a lossy packet
network in a rate-distortion optimized way. We show that although the data units in a media …

In this paper we present a method for streaming video generated by the state-of-the-art H.
264 codec over IP networks supporting the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture, in …

The H264/SVC codec allows for generation of hierarchical video streams. In the stream of
this type video data belonging to different layers have different priority depending on their …

A new algorithm has been developed which deals with the problem of least cost tolerance
allocation with process selection. This algorithm uses the combinatorial nature of orthogonal …

Real-time video applications, such as videoconferencing, videophony, and on-demand
video streaming, have gained increased popularity. However, a key problem of video …

This thesis deals with multimedia communication over unreliable and resource-constrained
IP-based packet-switched networks. The focus is on estimating, evaluating and enhancing …

This chapter describes several advanced techniques for estimating the video distortion
deriving from multiple video packet losses. It provides different usage scenarios, where the …

For the last few years, many classifications and marking strategies have been proposed with
the consideration of video streaming applications. According to IETF recommendation, two …

Relative service differentiation mechanisms such as DiffServ Assured Forwarding are
promising techniques for future delivery of video services due to their desirable scalability …

Object-based video, a concept with a brand new video representation model, was initially
proposed with content-based interactivity and scalability functionalities in mind. The recent …
