This book was released on 2016 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for multimedia streaming over mobile networks has been steadily increasing in the past several years. For instance, it has become common for mobile users to stream full TV episodes, sports events, and movies while on the go. Unfortunately, this growth in demand has strained the wireless networks despite the significant increase in their capacities with recent generations. It has also caused a significant increase in the energy consumption at mobile terminals. To overcome these challenges, we first present a novel hybrid unicast and multicast streaming algorithm to minimize the overall energy consumption of mobile terminals as well as the traffic load within cellular networks. Next, we introduce the idea of dynamically configuring cells in mobile networks to form single frequency networks based on the video popularity and user distribution in each cell. We formulate the transmission scheduling problem in such complex networks, and we then present optimal and heuristic solutions to maximize the number of served multimedia streams. Through detailed packet-level simulations, we assess the performance of the aforementioned algorithms with respect to the average service ratio, energy saving, video quality, frame loss rate, initial buffering time, rate of re-buffering events, and bandwidth overhead. Finally, we extend our research to formulate the transmission scheduling problem for adaptive streaming in the emerging heterogeneous cellular networks. We propose an algorithm for the cells in a heterogeneous network to self organize their radio resource allocations in order to minimize the inter-cell interference and increase the average data rate received by mobile terminals. Then we evaluate its performance through extensive simulations of various heterogeneous configurations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this dissertation is to improve the overall video streaming performance in various networking environments, such as IP-multicast in wired network and wireless mesh networks (WMNs), using cooperation among participants including clients and routers. We investigate a number of key challenging issues associated with video streaming, and we explore solutions to those issues using a cooperative networking approach, which includes constructing overlay Peer-to-Peer (P2P) retransmission networks and exploring hybrid architecture of content distribution networks (CDN) and P2P networks. To solve the reliability issue in IP-multicast, we propose a novel overlay P2P retransmission architecture to exploit path diversity. An approach that leverages both disjoint path finding and periodic selective probing to take into account peer's recent packet loss probability, retransmission delay and recent retransmission performance is proposed to effectively construct an efficient and dynamic overlay peer retransmission network. To improve the video streaming quality over WMNs, we design a Unified Peer-to-Peer and Cache (UPAC) framework for high quality video on demand services over infrastructure multi-hop WMNs. In this framework, mesh routers work cooperatively with mesh clients to construct a CDN and P2P hybrid structure to improve the QoS of video streaming. We present a series of solutions to address the key challenges in video streaming over WMNs, i.e., the design of a new high throughput routing metric, a new enhanced routing algorithm, a cross-layer server and path selection strategy, a novel admission control algorithm with per-flow routing and a new P2P structure for video streaming. Simulation results show that the proposed UPAC framework can utilize the capacity of WMNs better than existing approaches and improve the video streaming quality over WMNs significantly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer-to-peer networking is a disruptive technology for large scale distributed app- cations that has recently gained wide interest due to the successes of peer-to-peer (P2P) content sharing, media streaming, and telephony applications. There are a large range of other applications under development or being proposed. The - derlying architectures share features such as decentralizaton, sharing of end system resources, autonomy, virtualization, and self-organization. These features constitute the P2P paradigm. This handbook broadly addresses a large cross-section of c- rent research and state-of-the-art reports on the nature of this paradigm from a large number of experts in the ?eld. Several trends in information and network technology such as increased perf- mance and deployment of broadband networking, wireless networking, and mobile devices are synergistic with and reinforcing the capabilities of the P2P paradigm. There is general expectation in the technical community that P2P networking will continue to be an important tool for networked applications and impact the evo- tion of the Internet. A large amount of research activity has resulted in a relatively short time, and a growing community of researchers has developed. The Handbook of Peer-to-Peer Networking is dedicated to discussions on P2P networks and their applications. This is a comprehensive book on P2P computing.

Download or read book Peer to Peer Computing written by Quang Hieu Vu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, or peer computing, is a paradigm that is viewed as a potential technology for redesigning distributed architectures and, consequently, distributed processing. Yet the scale and dynamism that characterize P2P systems demand that we reexamine traditional distributed technologies. A paradigm shift that includes self-reorganization, adaptation and resilience is called for. On the other hand, the increased computational power of such networks opens up completely new applications, such as in digital content sharing, scientific computation, gaming, or collaborative work environments. In this book, Vu, Lupu and Ooi present the technical challenges offered by P2P systems, and the means that have been proposed to address them. They provide a thorough and comprehensive review of recent advances on routing and discovery methods; load balancing and replication techniques; security, accountability and anonymity, as well as trust and reputation schemes; programming models and P2P systems and projects. Besides surveying existing methods and systems, they also compare and evaluate some of the more promising schemes. The need for such a book is evident. It provides a single source for practitioners, researchers and students on the state of the art. For practitioners, this book explains best practice, guiding selection of appropriate techniques for each application. For researchers, this book provides a foundation for the development of new and more effective methods. For students, it is an overview of the wide range of advanced techniques for realizing effective P2P systems, and it can easily be used as a text for an advanced course on Peer-to-Peer Computing and Technologies, or as a companion text for courses on various subjects, such as distributed systems, and grid and cluster computing.

Download or read book Routing Flow and Capacity Design in Communication and Computer Networks written by Michal Pioro and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-07-21 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In network design, the gap between theory and practice is woefully broad. This book narrows it, comprehensively and critically examining current network design models and methods. You will learn where mathematical modeling and algorithmic optimization have been under-utilized. At the opposite extreme, you will learn where they tend to fail to contribute to the twin goals of network efficiency and cost-savings. Most of all, you will learn precisely how to tailor theoretical models to make them as useful as possible in practice.Throughout, the authors focus on the traffic demands encountered in the real world of network design. Their generic approach, however, allows problem formulations and solutions to be applied across the board to virtually any type of backbone communication or computer network. For beginners, this book is an excellent introduction. For seasoned professionals, it provides immediate solutions and a strong foundation for further advances in the use of mathematical modeling for network design.
