Quality of experience (QoE) is the perceptual quality of service (QoS) from the users'
perspective. For video service, the relationship between QoE and QoS (such as coding …

In this paper a survey of the research effort invested in the analysis of multicasting over
wireless access networks from the late nineties onwards is presented. The analysis is …

Due to the time-varying wireless channels, deterministic quality of service (QoS) is usually
difficult to guarantee for real-time multi-layer video transmissions in wireless networks …

Presently, we rely on the wireless devices and systems to not only enable on-demand,
pervasive communications for a large proportion of the population, but also other critical …

This paper presents a novel cross-layer optimization framework to improve the quality of
user experience (QoE) and energy efficiency of the heterogeneous wireless multimedia …

The legacy multicasting over IEEE 802.11-based WLANs has two well-known problems-
poor reliability and low-rate transmission. In the literature, various WLAN multicast protocols …

The ever-increasing demand for mobile content delivery and multimedia services is bringing
renewed interest in multicast communications in Wi-Fi based WLANs. Nevertheless …

WiFi multicast to very large groups has gained attention as a solution for multimedia delivery
in crowded areas. Yet, the most recently proposed schemes do not provide performance …

In this paper, we investigate optimal resource allocation and scheduling for scalable video
multicast over wireless networks. The wireless video multicasting is a best-effort service …

Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is an extension of H. 264/Advanced Video Coding (AVC),
which has good characteristics for video transmission over networks. SVC encodes a video …
