Jan 27:
- Conducted a survey of exiting results on SVC to AVC rewriting. While it has been reported that the re-writing process performs about 80% faster than the cascaded trans-coding process there are not many results on the feasibility of real time trans-coding. Sablatschan et.al. have reported that the real time rewriting is not feasible for resolutions more than 480x320 videos using a quad core 3GHz processor. This leads to two directions for exploration: (1)explore the JSVM code to find better ways of doing the rewriting in parallel hardware and (2) using GOP distribution based approach on cloud to explore possibility of improving parallel performance.
- JSVM code.
Jan 10:
- Started exploring the problem of video trans-coding in cloud
- Started exploring the feasibility of implementing a cloud test-bed using Openstack.
Other
- Courses: CMPT 886 (Multicore Systems)
- TA : CMPT 371 , CMPT 379
Previous work
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)
