Book Low latency and Robust Peer to peer Video Streaming

Download or read book Low latency and Robust Peer to peer Video Streaming written by JeongHun Noh and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2010 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have emerged as a promising and cost-effective transport solution for streaming video to a group of users in the Internet. In the P2P architecture, users not only consume video, but also forward it to other users. Thus, P2P systems scale better than client-server systems as users bring resources to the system. The challenge is to achieve low-latency and robust video dissemination by overcoming a number of adversarial aspects and challenges -- peer dynamics, heterogeneous uplink bandwidth of peers, heterogeneous hardware and capabilities of peers, and peer-wise connection restrictions due to NATs/firewalls. This dissertation presents Stanford Peer-to-Peer Multicast (SPPM), a P2P video streaming system. SPPM is designed to achieve low-latency and robust streaming by constructing an overlay of multiple complementary trees and dynamically rearranging the position of peers by Active Overlay Management in a distributed fashion. Next, we extend SPPM for providing playback control to users by time-shifted streaming. To perform time-shifted streaming, peers store past portions of video and forward them to other users when requested, thereby reducing server load. To further alleviate server load, we propose fast prefetching, by which peers can disseminate content quickly. Finally, we present a way to accommodate mobile users. Video transcoding is often required to adapt video for the mobile users. We propose interleaved distributed transcoding (IDT), which allows a video stream to be transcoded at multiple peers that are more capable than mobile users. IDT is shown not only to reduce computation required at a peer but also to achieve higher error resilience in case of peer failure or packet loss.

Setting the stage for understanding important research issues in P2P systems, the book first introduces various P2P network architectures. It then details the topology control research problem as well as existing technologies for handling topology control issues. The author describes novel and interesting incentive schemes for enticing peers to cooperate and explores recent innovations on trust issues. He also examines security problems in a P2P network. The final chapter addresses the future of the field. Throughout the text, the highly popular P2P IPTV application, PPLive, is used as a case study to illustrate the practical aspects of the concepts covered. Addressing the unique challenges of P2P systems, this book presents practical applications of recent theoretical results in P2P computing. It also stimulates further research on critical issues, including performance and security problems.

Book Peer to peer Video Streaming with Interactive Region of interest

Download or read book Peer to peer Video Streaming with Interactive Region of interest written by Aditya Atul Mavlankar and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing spatial resolution offered by digital imaging sensors and growing capacities of storage devices are helping the rise of high-spatial-resolution digital video. Such videos offer the possibility of viewing an arbitrary region-of-interest (RoI) interactively. The user can pan/tilt/zoom while watching the video. This allows watching user-selected portions of high-resolution video even on displays of lower spatial resolution. In the case of remote streaming, it avoids transmitting the entire field-of-view in high resolution, thus reducing required data rate. The first main contribution of this thesis is spatial-random-access-enabled video compression. The goal is to encode the video content once such that arbitrary RoIs corresponding to different zoom factors can be extracted from the compressed bit-stream, thus avoiding a dedicated encoder for each user. We explore the trade-off between storage space and mean transmission bit-rate. We show how to choose the slice size for video coding for minimizing the mean transmission bit-rate. Recently, peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming has shown good potential for enabling large-scale video multicast at much lower cost than currently applied techniques. The second main contribution of this thesis is the design of a P2P live multicast streaming system that allows each user to independently control pan/tilt/zoom while still exploiting the commonalities in their RoIs for delivering content in a P2P manner. We present a distributed P2P protocol, which is run at each client and allows each client to receive and relay relevant data in real time. The protocol is designed by keeping in mind that the overlaps among users' RoIs are highly transient. Our findings indicate that to support the same number of clients as traditional client-server unicast, our P2P approach requires much less server uplink bandwidth. We show how to allocate the server bandwidth for streaming regions that vary in popularity and rate-distortion operating points.

Download or read book Streaming and Copyright Law written by Lasantha Ariyarathna and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the challenges posed to Australian copyright law by streaming, from the end-user perspective. It compares the Australian position with the European Union and United States to draw lessons from them, regarding how they have dealt with streaming and copyright. By critically examining the technological functionality of streaming and the failure of copyright enforcement against the masses, it argues for strengthening end-user rights. The rising popularity of streaming has resulted in a revolutionary change to how digital content, such as sound recordings, cinematographic films, and radio and television broadcasts, is used on the internet. Superseding the conventional method of downloading, using streaming to access digital content has challenged copyright law, because it is not clear whether end-user acts of streaming constitute copyright infringement. These prevailing grey areas between copyright and streaming often make end-users feel doubtful about accessing digital content through streaming. It is uncertain whether exercising the right of reproduction is appropriately suited for streaming, given the ambiguities of “embodiment” and scope of “substantial part”. Conversely, the fair dealing defence in Australia cannot be used aptly to defend end-users’ acts of streaming digital content, because end-users who use streaming to access digital content can rarely rely on the defence of fair dealing for the purposes of criticism or review, news reporting, parody or satire, or research or study. When considering a temporary copy exception, end-users are at risk of being held liable for infringement when using streaming to access a website that contains infringing digital content, even if they lack any knowledge about the content’s infringing nature. Moreover, the grey areas in circumventing geo-blocking have made end-users hesitant to access websites through streaming because it is not clear whether technological protection measures apply to geo-blocking. End-users have a severe lack of knowledge about whether they can use circumvention methods, such as virtual private networks, to access streaming websites without being held liable for copyright infringement. Despite the intricacies between copyright and access to digital content, the recently implemented website-blocking laws have emboldened copyright owners while suppressing end-users’ access to digital content. This is because the principles of proportionality and public interest have been given less attention when determining website-blocking injunctions.
