We consider streaming video content over an overlay network of peer nodes. Each of the nodes employs a mesh-pull mechanism to organize the download of data units from its neighbours. We propose a novel algorithm for constructing the distribution overlay, w ...
This paper addresses the inter-operability problem of multimedia terminal in media content delivery over heterogeneous networks and devices. We design and implement a terminal which includes a content browser providing presentation, navigation and interact ...
Traditional broadcasting of TV contents begins to coexist with new models of user aware content delivery. The definition of interoperable interfaces for precise content search and retrieval between the different involved parties is a requirement for the de ...
The obvious recent advances in areas such as video compression and network architectures allow for the deployment of novel video distribution applications. These have the potential to provide ubiquitous media access to end users. In recent years, applicati ...
This paper addresses the problem of streaming packetized media over a lossy packet network, with sender-driven (re)transmissions and receiver acknowledgments. It extends the markovian formulation of the rate- distortion optimized (RaDiO) streaming framewor ...
This paper addresses the problem of efficiently delivering a layered media stream from multiple senders to a single receiver, over channels that present correlated packet loss patterns. Using a digital fountain approach, the performance of a distributed st ...
