Random Linear Network Coding for 5G Mobile Video Delivery
An exponential increase in mobile video delivery will continue with the
demand for higher resolution, multi-view and large-scale multicast video
services. Novel fifth generation (5G) 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard will bring a
number of new opportunities for optimizing video delivery across both 5G core
and radio access networks. One of the promising approaches for video quality
adaptation, throughput enhancement and erasure protection is the use of
packet-level random linear network coding (RLNC). In this review paper, we
discuss the integration of RLNC into the 5G NR standard, building upon the
ideas and opportunities identified in 4G LTE. We explicitly identify and
discuss in detail novel 5G NR features that provide support for RLNC-based
video delivery in 5G, thus pointing out to the promising avenues for future
research.Comment: Invited paper for Special Issue "Network and Rateless Coding for

Mobile-Based Video Caching Architecture Based on Billboard Manager
Video streaming services are very popular today. Increasingly, users can now
access multimedia applications and video playback wirelessly on their mobile
devices. However, a significant challenge remains in ensuring smooth and
uninterrupted transmission of almost any size of video file over a 3G network,
and as quickly as possible in order to optimize bandwidth consumption. In this
paper, we propose to position our Billboard Manager to provide an optimal
transmission rate to enable smooth video playback to a mobile device user
connected to a 3G network. Our work focuses on serving user requests by mobile
operators from cached resource managed by Billboard Manager, and transmitting
the video files from this pool. The aim is to reduce the load placed on
bandwidth resources of a mobile operator by routing away as much user requests
away from the internet for having to search a video and, subsequently, if
located, have it transferred back to the user.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, GridCom-201
A Survey of Techniques For Improving Energy Efficiency in Embedded Computing Systems
Recent technological advances have greatly improved the performance and
features of embedded systems. With the number of just mobile devices now
reaching nearly equal to the population of earth, embedded systems have truly
become ubiquitous. These trends, however, have also made the task of managing
their power consumption extremely challenging. In recent years, several
techniques have been proposed to address this issue. In this paper, we survey
the techniques for managing power consumption of embedded systems. We discuss
the need of power management and provide a classification of the techniques on
several important parameters to highlight their similarities and differences.
This paper is intended to help the researchers and application-developers in
gaining insights into the working of power management techniques and designing
even more efficient high-performance embedded systems of tomorrow
