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

As broadband networks using Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) technologies are being increasingly
deployed in access networks, video service, especially VoD (Video-on-Demand), is …

The network transport of 3-D video, which contains two views of a video scene, poses
significant challenges due to the increased video data, compared to a conventional single …

In this paper, we propose a scalable transport scheme for delivering on-demand video
streams over broadband wireless networks in next-generation network/IP multimedia …

Scalable video coding (SVC) is a good approach for video services over heterogeneous
networks. To achieve efficient video broadcasting systems, a good understanding on the …

BACKGROUND In various environments, mobile radio communication devices may
simultaneously have access to a plurality of cells. For example in the case when the mobile …

The convergence of the existing network access technologies to a common IP-based
architecture and the increase in popularity of accessing video content over the Internet …

One way to reduce bandwidth requirement in video-on-demand system is using periodic
broadcasting for popular videos. It periodically broadcasts video segments on several …

In an embodiment, a radio communication device may be provided. The radio
communication device may include a first receiver configured to receive from a first cell first …

Periodic broadcasting (PB) is a scalable technique for providing video-on-demand services.
It significantly reduces server input and output (I/O) and backbone network bandwidth …
