Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless networks is the fundamental component of next generation communication networks to provide users ubiquitous access. Due to the flexibility provided by wireless networks, users can access the network-based information and services anytime and anywhere. However, some emerging and popular multimedia applications, like Internet Protocol television (IPTV) and Multimedia Gaming, requiring high bandwidth and small delay, pose challenge for the last-mile wireless access network. Consequently, there is significant amount of research and development efforts in enhancing the performance of multimedia applications over wireless networks. This dissertation makes four important contributions towards that end. In Chapter 2, we study the various architectures, protocols and standards to support high quality video streaming over broadband mobile networks. We survey the most popular international video coding and compression standard ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group-4 (MPEG-4) or ITU-T H.264. We also survey the next generation broadband mobile LTE (Long Term Evolution) network architecture and key technologies followed by video streaming delivery architectures and network protocols supporting video streaming over broadband mobile networks. Finally, we discuss possible future direction of video streaming in wireless networks. In Chapter 3, we propose an optimization algorithm to solve the key issue of bitrate switching in next generation HTTP-based adaptive video streaming. Our solution can provide the best possible viewing quality to users without playback interruption, which is reported as the biggest concern of on-line video streaming. The optimization algorithm is based on a specific streaming architecture and it can be easily integrated with other approaches and industry standards. Simulation results show that our optimization algorithm can determine the best video bitrate according to channel condition and buffered streams in local devices to provide viewers the best possible quality with least interruption. In Chapter 4, we propose a novel architecture and mechanism to delivery high quality video to users that use a wireless mesh access network. The novel mechanism consists of 1) a network route selection scheme which provides paths for multiple video streams with the least interference, called Minimum Interference Route Selection (MIROSE) and 2) an optimization algorithm that determines the compression rates depending on the network condition, called Network State Dependent Video Compression Rate (NSDVCR) algorithm. Simulation results show that our approach can provide significant improvement of video quality measured with Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio (PSNR) compared with standard routing protocols and default compression rates. In Chapter 5, we present a novel approach to collect multiple categories of data in a resource-limited wireless sensor network. In an advanced wireless sensor network capable of sensing and collecting multiple kinds of data, it is a challenging problem to efficiently and fairly collect various critical information when network has limited resources. We propose an optimization algorithm for the buffer management in the sensor node to provide higher event throughput, and maintain coverage fidelity when network is congested. Our detailed simulation analysis show that our proposed approach has significant performance improvement with respect to event throughput, fairness and the overall value of the information collected by the wireless sensor network. The dissertation proposes and validates a number of novel mechanisms and optimization algorithms to support the most challenging multimedia application namely, video, which has the dual requirements of high-bandwidth and small-delay, in various wireless networks. We first investigate the problem of providing high-quality video streaming in broadband mobile networks. We then enhance the video quality by 1) changing the video encoding and transmission techniques so as to be suitable for the wireless network; 2) designing a novel network architecture and protocol for video streaming; and 3) jointly altering the video compression and the network transport protocol.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: QoS (Quality of Service) and Network Management are old topics. However, the fusion of IP style multimedia and wireless networks (3G) means that network managers who might previously have dealt with one or the other, must now manage and provide service guarantees for the both. This is where Managing Service Level Quality across Wireless and Fixed Networks steps in. It begins by examining the mechanisms that already existed in fixed IP data networks prior to the introduction of probe and agent technology. A look at these later developments is then supplemented with a real-world scenario of how real time application performance monitoring can not only provide service level management but can also aid in root cause analysis. This same model is then applied to a wireless environment examining which elements are required to be able to deliver multimedia services across 2nd and 3rd generation mobile networks, detailing the components of data networking that will assist in guaranteeing service level performance and the constraints placed on those guarantees when passing services over an air interface to a wireless-enabled device. It asks a simple question: will multimedia applications and the guaranteed levels of service required by them work when traversing from fixed to wireless networks? It tracks QoS components and mechanisms of both environments and looks at what will provide the glue in this brave new converged world and also provides empirical data to back up the conclusions drawn. First book available which applies QoS techniques and technologies to wireless/mobile networks 3G/UMTS Deals with the search for the real time information that constitutes the "customer experience" in terms of application performance so that service levels can be verified against measurable and relevant data in a true end-to-end manner across both fixed and wireless networks Presents probe and agent technology Features a real-world scenario of how real time application performance monitoring can not only provide service level management but can also aid in root cause analysis - this will be of particular interest to practitioner Analyses which elements are required in order to deliver multimedia services across 2nd and 3rd generation mobile networks Details the components of data networking that will assist in guaranteeing service level performance Essential reading for Wireless and IP data network professionals/practitioners, network managers and architects, technical consultants, quality assessment engineers, infrastructure vendors, application developers, portal designers, wireline operators, lecturers, postgraduates, senior undergraduate students and industry trainees.

Book excerpt: Due to the great success and enormous impact of IP networks, In ternet access (such as sending and receiving e-mails) and web brows ing have become the ruling paradigm for next generation wireless systems. On the other hand, great technological and commercial success of services and applications is being witnessed in mobile wire less communications with examples of cellular, pes voice telephony and wireless LANs. The service paradigm has thus shifted from the conventional voice service to seamlessly integrated high quality mul timedia transmission over broadband wireless mobile networks. The multimedia content may include data, voice, audio, image, video and so on. With availability of more powerful portable devices, such as PDA, portable computer and cellular phone, coupled with the easier access to the core network (using a mobile device), the number of mobile users and the demand for multimedia-based applications is increasing rapidly. As a result, there is an urgent need for a sys tem that supports heterogeneous multimedia services and provides seamless access to the desired resources via wireless connections. Therefore, the convergence of multimedia communication and wireless mobile networking technologies into the next generation wireless multimedia (WMM) networks with the vision of "anytime, anywhere, anyform" information system is the certain trend in the foreseeable future. However, successful combination of these two technologies presents many challenges such as available spectral bandwidth, energy efficiency, seamless end-to-end communication, robustness, security, etc.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by the improvements in wireless technology and proliferation of available content, wireless networks have become extremely popular. Having evolved significantly in recent years, wireless networks now serve as a gateway to a diverse set of rich applications and functionality. Applications range from standard Internet services to real-time services, such as multimedia video and voice over IP. Although wireless networks have become popular, there are many challenges that remain. In addition to the inherent problems of wireless connectivity, which include varying channel conditions, interference, and propagation loss, upcoming networks must support applications and devices that place a greater demand on network resources. Users will also have higher requirements for future wireless networks, expecting guaranteed problem-free wireless access and a better overall user experience. This dissertation addresses several key problems in wireless networks: the need for improved resource efficiency, both in terms of energy and network resource allocation, the lack of Quality of Service (QoS) support, and the inability of applications to scale based on channel or device limitations. This dissertation proposes network and application layer adaptation techniques to enhance resource efficiency and Quality of Service. It introduces the concept of dynamic adaptations at various layers of the network protocol stack and considers four protocol adaptation techniques. The first targets improving energy efficiency by dynamically changing link layer parameters. The second focuses on ensuring differentiated channel access by adapting related channel parameters. The third technique uses network scheduling to ensure appropriate network resource allocation and improved channel access. The final adaptation technique investigates scaling at the application layer to improve network resource efficiency and achieved application quality. The presented experiments demonstrate that the developed network and application layer adaptation techniques can significantly improve the wireless user experience. By providing a more efficient utilization of energy and network resources, as well as providing QoS guarantees, the protocol adaptation schemes show remarkable improvement in several metrics compared to existing approaches. The adaptation techniques described in this dissertation will enable wireless networks to support higher quality applications for a greater and more diverse set of users.

Book excerpt: This Synthesis Lecture presents a discussion of Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless networks over unlicensed spectrum. The topic is presented from the point of view of protocols for wireless networks (e.g., 802.11) rather than the physical layer point of view usually discussed for cellular networks in the licensed wireless spectrum. A large number of mobile multimedia wireless applications are being deployed over WiFi (IEEE 802.11) and Bluetooth wireless networks and the number will increase in the future as more phones, tablets, and laptops are equipped with these unlicensed spectrum wireless interfaces. Achieving QoS objectives in wireless networks is challenging due to limited wireless resources, wireless nodes interference, wireless shared media, node mobility, and diverse topologies. The author presents the QoS problem as (1) an optimization problem with different constraints coming from the interference, mobility, and wireless resource constraints and (2) an algorithmic problem with fundamental algorithmic functions within wireless resource management and protocols.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As development of wireless networking technologies continues, it has been increasingly expected to support content-rich multimedia communications (e.g., video) in such networks. In this dissertation, we study the important problems of enhancing QoS support for video applications in wireless mesh networks and LTE networks. We begin our investigation with a video performance evaluation study in a wireless mesh test-bed. The goal is to clearly understand the nature of video streaming and its performance in wireless mesh networks. By extensive experiments in various scenarios we analyze the network parameters and settings which impact video performance. Compared with simulation or network-layer statistics based approaches, our investigation is directly focused on video quality in multi-hop scenarios. The experimental results better represent the characteristics of real networks and reveal the interesting aspects of video performance in mesh networks, which may benefit the design of efficient QoS solutions for multimedia services in wireless mesh networks. Next, we explore the interference issue in wireless mesh networks, and propose an interference-aware admission control and QoS routing scheme, towards enhancing video streaming experience in wireless mesh networks. Interference is characterized using a conflict graph based model. Nodes exchange their flow information periodically and compute their available residual bandwidth based on the local maximal clique constraints. Admission decision is made based on the residual bandwidth at each node. An on-demand routing scheme is implemented to explicitly incorporate the interference model in the route discovery process. By avoiding the "hot-spots" with severe interference, it discovers the routes with less interference and enhances video performance significantly. We also leverage MAC layer retransmission counts to design a combined queuing and routing scheme which achieves better video quality than the existing approaches. A case study is performed focusing on MAC layer retransmission, which helps us better understand the impacting factors on video quality in multi-hop mesh networks. Our scheme is proposed from a cross-layer perspective which leverages the information across network (routing) layer and link (MAC) layer. MAC layer retransmission count is exploited to guide the interface queue management for video packets as well as a metric to construct a retransmission-aware QoS routing scheme. In our approach, the upper layers are aware of the dynamic network status via retransmission count, so timely QoS decision can be made to enhance video quality effectively. For LTE networks, our focus is radio resource management. We first investigate the important problem of downlink resource allocation in recently enhanced LTE-Advanced systems where a newly added feature, carrier aggregation, provides more flexibility in resource allocation in addition to the existing resource block level packet scheduling. The resource allocation problem is formulated as a complex combinatorial problem with multiple constraints. We decompose this highly complex optimization problem and construct a two-tier resource allocation framework which incorporates dynamic component carrier assignment and novel backlog based scheduling schemes with intelligent link adaptation based on weighted CQI. The proposed schemes offer both better throughput and delay performance as well as user fairness. Finally, we address the downlink scheduling problem in LTE networks by directly optimizing video quality. Unlike the conventional scheduling rules which exploit network layer metrics, our scheme is directly targeted on optimizing application-layer video quality. Video quality optimized scheduling is formulated as a complex combinatorial optimization problem, and solved by exploiting a GA (genetic algorithm) based metaheuristic approach. The intrinsic strength of population based solution of GA offers a superior advantage for this type of scheduling problems. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of GA based scheduling scheme compared with the well-known M-LWDF scheduling rule and the simulated annealing method. It can offer better video quality at the receiver within the required delay bound.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a convergence of network technologies, the Next Generation Network (NGN) is being deployed to carry high quality video and voice data. In fact, the convergence of network technologies has been driven by the converging needs of end-users. The perceived end-to-end quality is one of the main goals required by users that must be guaranteed by the network operators and the Internet Service Providers, through manufacturer equipment. This is referred to as the notion of Quality of Experience (QoE) and is becoming commonly used to represent user perception. The QoE is not a technical metric, but rather a concept consisting of all elements of a user's perception of the network services. The authors of this book focus on the idea of how to integrate the QoE into a control-command chain in order to construct an adaptive network system. More precisely, in the context of Content-Oriented Networks used to redesign the current Internet architecture to accommodate content-oriented applications and services, they aim to describe an end-to-end QoE model applied to a Content Distribution Network architecture.
