This chapter discusses the state of the art in dealing with the resource optimization problem for smooth delivery of video across a peer to peer (P2P) network. It further discusses the properties of using different video coding techniques such as Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiple Descriptive Coding (MDC) to overcome the playback latency in multimedia streaming and maintains an adequate quality of service (QoS) among the users. The problem can be summarized as follows; Given that a video is requested by a peer in the network, what properties of SVC and MDC can be exploited to deliver the video with the highest quality, least upload bandwidth and least delay from all participating peers. However, the solution to these problems is known to be NP hard. Hence, this chapter presents the state of the art in approximation algorithms or techniques that have been proposed to overcome these issues.

Recent advances in wireless broadband networks and video coding techniques have led the rapid growth of wireless video services. In this chapter, we present a comprehensive study on the transmission of scalable video over wireless local area networks (WLAN). We analyze first the mechanisms and principles of the emerging scalable video coding (SVC) standard. We then introduce the IEEE 802.11 standards for WLAN and related quality of service (QoS) issues. We present some studies of SVC over WLAN using cross-layer design techniques. We aim to exploit the unique characteristics of the scalable video coding technology to enhance personalized experience and to improve system performance in a wireless transmission system. Examples and analyses are given to demonstrate system performances.

IP Telephony provides a way for an enterprise to extend consistent communication services to all employees, whether they are in main campus locations, at branch offices, or working remotely, also with a mobile phone. IP Telephony transmits voice communications over a network using open standard-based Internet protocols. This is both the strength and weakness of IP Telephony as the involved basic transport protocols (RTP, UDP, and IP) are not able to natively guarantee the required application quality of service (QoS). From the point of view of an IP Telephony Service Provider this definitely means possible waste of clients and money. Specifically the problem is at two different levels: i) in some countries, wherelong distance and particularly international call tariffs are high, perhaps due to a lack of competition or due to cross subsidies to other services, the major opportunity for IP Telephony Service Providers is for price arbitrage. This means working on diffusion of an acceptable service, although not at high quality levels; ii) in other countries, where different IP Telephony Service Providers already exist, the problem is competition for offering the best possible quality. The main idea behind this chapter is to analyze specifically the state of the art playout control strategies with the following aims: i) propose the reader the technical state of the art playout control management and planning strategies (overview of basic KPIs for IP Telephony); ii) compare the strategies IP Telephony Service Provider can choose with the aim of saving money and offering a better quality of service; iii) introduce also the state of the art quality index for IP Telephony, that is a set of algorithms for taking into account as many factors as possible to evaluate the service quality; iv) provide the reader with examples on some economic scenarios of IP Telephony.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) offers adaptive and dynamic multimedia streaming solutions to heterogeneous end systems. However, it still faces many challenges in determining an appropriate rate adaptation technique to provide the best quality of experience (QoE) to the end systems. Most of the suggested approaches rely on servers or client-side heuristics to improve multimedia streaming QoE. Moreover, using evolving technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) that provide a network overview, combined with Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP), can enhance the QoE of streaming multimedia media based on scalable video coding (SVC). Therefore, we enhance our previous work and propose a Dynamic Multi Path Finder (DMPF) scheduler that determines optimal techniques to enhance QoE. DMPF scheduler is a part of the DMPF Scheduler Module (DSM) which runs as an application over the SDN controller. The DMPF scheduler accommodates maximum client requests while providing the basic representation of the media requested. We evaluate our implementation on real network topology and explore how SVC layers should be transferred over network topology. We also test the scheduler for network bandwidth usage. Through extensive simulations, we show clear trade-offs between the number of accommodated requests and the quality of the streaming. We conclude that it is better to schedule the layers of a request into the same path as much as possible than into multiple paths. Furthermore, these result would help service providers optimize their services.

Motion Discontinuities

We recently proposed a bidirectional hierarchical anchoring (BIHA) of motion fields for highly scalable video coding. The BIHA scheme employs piecewise-smooth motion fields, and uses breakpoints to signal motion discontinuities. In this paper, we show how the fundamental building block of the BIHA scheme can be used to perform bidirectional, occlusion-aware temporal frame interpolation (BOA-TFI). From a “parent” motion field between two reference frames, we use information about motion discontinuities to compose motion fields from both reference frames to the target frame; these then get inverted so that they can be used to predict the target frame. During the motion inversion process, we compute a reliable occlusion mask, which is used to guide the bidirectional motion-compensated prediction of the target frame. The scheme can be used in any state-of-the-art codec, but is most beneficial if used in conjunction with a highly scalable video coder which employs piecewise-smooth motion fields with motion discontinuities. We evaluate the proposed BOA-TFI scheme on a large variety of natural and challenging computer-generated sequences, and our results compare favorably to state-of-the-art TFI methods.
