Bandwidth Borrowing Schemes for Instantaneous Video-on-Demand Systems
A controlled multicast scheme provides instantaneous service, but limited server bandwidth causes some user requests to be either delayed or rejected when insufficient free bandwidth is available. Two borrowing schemes are proposed for instantaneous video-on-demand (VOD) that reduce the user request blocking rate by borrowing bandwidth from ongoing video streams when there is insufficient free bandwidth for the server to deliver a new video stream. Both these new schemes have proved to be successful in reducing blocking rate and increasing bandwidth utilization at the expense of temporarily degrading the video quality
Performance Evaluation of IPTV over WiMAX Networks Under Different Terrain Environments
Deployment Video on Demand (VoD) over the next generation (WiMAX) has become
one of the intense interest subjects in the research these days, and is
expected to be the main revenue generators in the near future. In this paper,
the performance of Quilty of Service of video streaming (IPTV) over fixed
mobile WiMax network is investigated under different terrain environments,
namely Free Space, Outdoor to Indoor and Pedestrian. OPNET is used to
investigate the performance of VoD over WiMAX. Our findings analyzing different
network statistics such as packet lost, path loss, delay, network throughput.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1302.1409, and

Distributed multimedia systems
A distributed multimedia system (DMS) is an integrated communication, computing, and information system that enables the processing, management, delivery, and presentation of synchronized multimedia information with quality-of-service guarantees. Multimedia information may include discrete media data, such as text, data, and images, and continuous media data, such as video and audio. Such a system enhances human communications by exploiting both visual and aural senses and provides the ultimate flexibility in work and entertainment, allowing one to collaborate with remote participants, view movies on demand, access on-line digital libraries from the desktop, and so forth. In this paper, we present a technical survey of a DMS. We give an overview of distributed multimedia systems, examine the fundamental concept of digital media, identify the applications, and survey the important enabling technologies.published_or_final_versio
Building self-optimized communication systems based on applicative cross-layer information
This article proposes the Implicit Packet Meta Header(IPMH) as a standard method to compute and represent common QoS properties of the Application Data Units (ADU) of multimedia streams using legacy and proprietary streamsâ headers (e.g. Real-time Transport Protocol headers). The use of IPMH by mechanisms located at different layers of the communication architecture will allow implementing fine per-packet selfoptimization of communication services regarding the actual application requirements. A case study showing how IPMH is used by error control mechanisms in the context of wireless networks is presented in order to demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of this approach
