Spring 2011 (RA)

April

• April 8
  • Working on the simulator for hybrid uni/multicast experiments. Taking longer than expected, may miss the MM'11 deadline

March

• Mar 28:
  • Updated tech-report on hybrid multicast-unicast link
• 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

• 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

Jan

• 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

Fall 2010 (RA)

• Poster/Demo: Efficient Multiplexing for Mobile Video Streaming (CONNECT'10)
