Spring 2011 (RA)

Mar 7:
- Tech-report on hybrid multicast-unicast here
- Working on the formulation for mobile patching scheme. Derived an expression for the bandwidth requirement and energy consumption of all-unicast and adaptive-patching schemes. Need to verify correctness analytically.
- Working on numerical examples of the mobile patching scheme.
- Documentation GENI-WiMAX project details.

Feb 28:
- Reviewed the existing literature and identified the main challenges in adapting video streaming schemes to wireless networks. Identified four major schemes which seem promising : Skyscraper Broadcasting, Hierarchical Stream Merging, Harmonic Patching and Piggybacking.
- Explored Skyscraper Broadcasting scheme and found it to be unsuitable.
- Documentation of the survey.

Feb 11: Meeting with Saleh
- Saleh to survey energy efficiency techniques in ad-hoc/sensor network domain and possible adaptation
- Som to survey Internet VoD results and look for possible adaptation in the wireless domain
- Meet on Feb 15 to discuss progress and decide on the first draft of one or two problems
- (If time) Saleh to look at WiMAX model in OPNET to see if it can be used for experiments
Investigating wireless multimedia streaming in muticast/unicast mixed mode networks

Investigating cloud computing for video trans-coding, video mining and mobile video applications
Survey report on WiMAX/LTE testbed design options here
Report on current status of DVB-H testbed and design of EPG feature here
