A packet error recovery scheme for vertical handovers mobility management protocols
Mobile devices are connecting to the Internet through an increasingly heterogeneous network environment. This connectivity via multiple types of wireless networks allows the mobile devices to take advantage of the high speed and the low cost of wireless local area networks and the large coverage of wireless wide area networks. In this context, we propose a new handoff framework for switching seamlessly between the different network technologies by taking advantage of the temporary availability of both the old and the new network technology through the use of an "on the fly" erasure coding method. The goal is to demonstrate that our framework, based on a real implementation of such coding scheme, 1) allows the application to achieve higher goodput rate compared to existing bicasting proposals and other erasure coding schemes;
2) is easy to configure and as a result 3) is a perfect candidate to ensure the reliability of vertical handovers mobility management protocols. In this paper, we present the implementation of such framework and show that our proposal allows to maintain the TCP goodput(with a negligible transmission overhead) while providing in a timely manner a full reliability in challenged conditions

eCMT-SCTP: Improving Performance of Multipath SCTP with Erasure Coding Over Lossy Links
Performance of transport protocols on lossy links is a well-researched topic, however there are only a few proposals making use of the opportunities of erasure coding within the multipath transport protocol context. In this paper, we investigate performance improvements of multipath CMT-SCTP with the novel integration of the on-the-fly erasure code within congestion control and reliability mechanisms. Our contributions include: integration of transport protocol and erasure codes with regards to congestion control; proposal for a variable retransmission delay parameter (aRTX) adjustment; performance evaluation of CMT-SCTP with erasure coding with simulations. We have implemented the explicit congestion notification (ECN) and erasure coding schemes in NS-2, evaluated and demonstrated results of improvement both for application goodput and decline of spurious retransmission. Our results show that we can achieve from 10% to 80% improvements in goodput under lossy network conditions without a significant penalty and minimal overhead due to the encoding-decoding process
Unequal Error Protected JPEG 2000 Broadcast Scheme with Progressive Fountain Codes
This paper proposes a novel scheme, based on progressive fountain codes, for
broadcasting JPEG 2000 multimedia. In such a broadcast scheme, progressive
resolution levels of images/video have been unequally protected when
transmitted using the proposed progressive fountain codes. With progressive
fountain codes applied in the broadcast scheme, the resolutions of images (JPEG
2000) or videos (MJPEG 2000) received by different users can be automatically
adaptive to their channel qualities, i.e. the users with good channel qualities
are possible to receive the high resolution images/vedio while the users with
bad channel qualities may receive low resolution images/vedio. Finally, the
performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated with the MJPEG 2000 broadcast
prototype
Joint On-the-Fly Network Coding/Video Quality Adaptation for Real-Time Delivery
This paper introduces a redundancy adaptation algorithm for an on-the-fly
erasure network coding scheme called Tetrys in the context of real-time video
transmission. The algorithm exploits the relationship between the redundancy
ratio used by Tetrys and the gain or loss in encoding bit rate from changing a
video quality parameter called the Quantization Parameter (QP). Our evaluations
show that with equal or less bandwidth occupation, the video protected by
Tetrys with redundancy adaptation algorithm obtains a PSNR gain up to or more 4
dB compared to the video without Tetrys protection. We demonstrate that the
Tetrys redundancy adaptation algorithm performs well with the variations of
both loss pattern and delay induced by the networks. We also show that Tetrys
with the redundancy adaptation algorithm outperforms FEC with and without
redundancy adaptation
On a Hybrid Preamble/Soft-Output Demapper Approach for Time Synchronization for IEEE 802.15.6 Narrowband WBAN
In this paper, we present a maximum likelihood (ML) based time
synchronization algorithm for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). The proposed
technique takes advantage of soft information retrieved from the soft demapper
for the time delay estimation. This algorithm has a low complexity and is
adapted to the frame structure specified by the IEEE 802.15.6 standard for the
narrowband systems. Simulation results have shown good performance which
approach the theoretical mean square error limit bound represented by the
Cramer Rao Bound (CRB)

Robust Adaptive Intra Refresh for Multiview Video
Transmission error propagation in wireless multimedia communication systems has become a recurring
problem. This persistent problem has led to grave consequences on the visual quality of the decoded video.
It is against this backdrop that, we present an adaptive intra refresh (AIR) error-resilient coding tool to
mitigate the effect of transmission error propagation in 3D video communications. This work utilizes
periodic insertion of intra macroblocks in badly error-infected frames temporally as well as related frames
in the multi view video scheme. Our objective is to maximize the transmission efficiency while ensuring the
transmission robustness of the coded bitstream. The selection of periodic macroblocks is based on areas
with high motion above a pre-set threshold. The coding modes of the macroblocks are based on the
distortion expectation due to transmission errors. Extensive simulation results show significant
improvement in both objective and subjective video quality at different intra refresh rates
