Utility-based Packet Scheduling in P2P Mesh-based Multicast

Pascal Frossard

We consider streaming video content over an overlay network of peer nodes. We propose a novel streaming strategy that is built on utility-based packet scheduling and proportional resource sharing in order to fight against free- riders. Each of the peers em ...

Network coding of rateless video in streaming overlays

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

We investigate the problem of collaborative video streaming in overlay networks. We exploit path and source diversity, as well as basic processing capabilities of network nodes in order to increase the overall throughput and improve the video quality at th ...

Media coding for streaming in networks with source and path diversity

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

Novel network architectures such as overlay networks offer significant diversity that can compensate for the lack of strict quality of service in today's communication infrastructures. In order to take advantage of this diversity for delay-sensitive media ...

Randomized network coding for UEP video delivery in overlay networks

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

This paper presents a receiver-driven video delivery algorithm that exploits a novel Randomized Network Coding (RNC) scheme for unequal error protection (UEP). The main idea of our approach is to account for the unequal importance of media packets in the n ...

Delay-based overlay construction in P2P video broadcast

Pascal Frossard

We consider streaming video content over an overlay network of peer nodes. Each of the nodes employs a mesh-pull mechanism to organize the download of data units from its neighbours. We propose a novel algorithm for constructing the distribution overlay, w ...

Game Theory Video Streaming

Mahdad Hosseini Kamal

We consider the problem of peer selection for multimedia trans- mission over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network to find a strategy model for peer selection for each lost packet. Our problem consists of two parts one related to the P2P network that is a peer sele ...

Heterogeneous Gossip

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Davide Frey

Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable and resilient to network dynamics. Load-balancing is inherent in these protocols as the dissemination work is evenly spread among all nodes. Yet, large-scale distribut ...

Stretching Gossip with Live Streaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Davide Frey

Gossip-based information dissemination protocols are considered easy to deploy, scalable and resilient to network dynamics. They are also considered highly ﬂexible, namely tunable at will to increase their robustness and adapt to churn. So far however, the ...

Resource allocation and adaptive scheduling for scalable video streaming

Jean-Paul Wagner

The obvious recent advances in areas such as video compression and network architectures allow for the deployment of novel video distribution applications. These have the potential to provide ubiquitous media access to end users. In recent years, applicati ...

Distributed optimization of media flows in peer-to-peer overlay networks

We consider the problem of rate-distortion (RD) optimized media streaming in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks. We formulate the aforementioned problem as a distributed rate allocation problem. To solve the problem for all the participating ...
