Com isso surge a preocupação do consumo de banda, que é significativamente reforçada pelo aumento da utilização da computação móvel. É fato conhecido que o consumo de banda para a multimídia ultrapassou o consumo nas redes P2P, e tende ao crescimento nos próximos anos. Nesse cenário, as tecnologias de streaming multimídia via HTTP vieram como parte da solução do problema de maior demanda de tráfego de multimídia. O MPEG-DASH é uma dessas tecnologias, e atualmente é utilizada em grande parte por grandes corporações que distribuem multimídia, como por exemplo Google e Netflix. No entanto, o processo da criação das mídias no padrão MPEG-DASH é um processo trabalhoso e de pouca documentação. O presente trabalho apresenta técnicas para transcodificação, segmentação e reprodução de mídias no padrão MPEG-DASH. As mídias convertidas são parte do material didático produzido pelo Centro de Educação a Distância da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora. O estudo foca no processo técnico de padronização das mídias para MPEG-DASH, dá foco aos problemas encontrados, além de analisar aspectos da reprodução das mídias. A dissertação traz também um estudo de caso, e análise de aspectos relevantes relacionados ao ambiente computacional da pesquisa. Foram testadas diversas técnicas e ferramentas, e os problemas, soluções e sugestões de uso são relatados ao longo do trabalho. Os resultados mostram que os resultados, apesar de problemas pontuais, são viáveis e benéficos para o consumidor do conjunto de mídias apresentado. / The multimedia consumption over the world wide web has been strongly growing along the last years. Hence it comes concerns about the bandwidth consumption, bolstered by significant raise of mobile computing. It is a known fact that multimedia bandwidth exceeded P2P network in terms of bandwidth consumption, and tend to grow in the next years. In this scenario, HTTP multimedia streaming technology came as a part of solution to the increasing multimedia bandwidth demand. MPEG-DASH is one of those technologies, currently employed at big distributing multimedia corporations, like Google and Netflix. However, the media transcoding and segmentation to MPEG-DASH standard is a laborious process and still slightly documented. This work cover in details techniques to media transcoding, segmentation, and reproduction on MPEG-DASH standard. The converted media are part of Centro de Educação a Distância of Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora produced courseware. The work aims at technical process of MPEG DASH media standardization, with focus on raised problems, and includes some aspects of media reproduction. This work brings a case study, and an analysis of applicable aspects of computing environment. Were tested several techniques and tools and the problems, solutions and suggestions are reported through the work. Results shows that the results, although few problems, are viable and advantageous to consumer of the specified media set.

Adaptive streaming approaches over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), such as Apple's HTTP Live streaming (HLS) and Microsoft's Live Smooth Streaming, have recently become very popular. This master's thesis project developed and evaluated several media rate adaptation algorithms optimized for mobile networks with a client running on Google's Android operating system. The deployed service supports HLS and the emerging ISO/IEC MPEG standard called Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH). Live media was the focus of the evaluation, since this content can not be cached in advance at the user's device, hence the quality of the user's experience will be affected by the currently available bandwidth which the user can utilize. Experiments were performed for multiples scenarios illustrating different network capabilities, especially various amounts of bandwidth available to the user. This project has produced an implementation of HTTP-based adaptive streaming. This implementation follows the MPEG standard and enables robust and smooth playback of live video content via Google's Android devices. Results of the experiments have shown that the proposed adaptation mechanisms efficiently utilize the available bandwidth of the network. A clear conclusion of this thesis is that adaptive streaming will in fact enable substantial numbers of users to enjoy live media streaming to their devices / Adaptiv strömnings metoder över Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), till exempel Apples HTTP Live streaming (HLS) och Microsoft Live Smooth Streaming, har nyligen blivit mycket populära. Detta examensarbete utvecklas och utvärderar flera medier algoritmer anpassning av överföringshastigheten optimerad för mobila nätverk med en klient som körs på Googles Android-operativsystem. Systemet kommer att överväga HLS och den framväxande ISO/IECMPEG-standarden som kallas Dynamisk Adaptiv Strömmande över HTTP (MPEG-DASH). Direktsänd media var i fokus för utvärderingen, eftersom detta innehåll inte kan cachas i förväg på användarens enhet, därmed kvaliteten på användarens upplevelse kommer att påverkas av den aktuella tillgängliga bandbredden som användaren kan utnyttja. Experimenten utfördes för flera scenarier och illustrerar olika nätverksfunktioner, särskilt hur olika mängder bandbredd är tillgänglig för användaren. Detta projekt har producerat ett genomförande av HTTP-baserade adaptiva strömning. Denna implementering följer MPEG-standarden och möjliggör robusta och smidig uppspelning av direktsänd video innehåll via Googles Android-enheter. Resultat av experiment har visat att den föreslagna anpassningsmekanismerna effektiva sätt att utnyttja den tillgängliga bandbredden i nätverket. En tydlig slutsats i denna avhandling är att adaptive strömning faktiskt kommer att möjliggöra ett stort antal användare att njuta av direktsänd medieströmning till sina enheter.

Les réseaux centrés sur l’information (ICN) sont une architecture prometteuse pour faire face à l’explosion du trafic multimédia sur internet et à la mobilité croissante des utilisateurs: non seulement ICN peut améliorer la qualité d’expérience de l’utilisateur, mais ICN peut également étendre naturelle et de façon transparente la prise en charge du trafic vidéo dans les fonctions réseau. Cependant, à notre connaissance, une évaluation approfondie des avantages apportés par ICN à la diffusion multimédia n’a pas encore été réalisée. Dans cette thèse, nous voulons réduire l’écart qui nous sépare d’une telle évaluation en prenant en compte ICN dans divers scénarios de diffusion multimédia.Tout d’abord, nous évaluons les avantages apportés par du DAS (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming) basé sur ICN par rapport au streaming basé sur TCP/IP, au moyen d’une campagne expérimentale comprenant plusieurs canaux (des émulations Wi-Fi et LTE, des traçes 3G/4G), plusieurs clients (mélange homogène et hétérogène, arrivées synchrones et asynchrones) et des logiques d’adaptation DAS soigneusement sélectionnées pour couvrir les deux grandes familles d’algorithmes disponibles. Nous mettons aussi enexergue les pièges potentiels qui sont néanmoins facilement évitables.Ensuite, nous montrons comment l’assistance du réseau contribue à améliorer la qualité d’expérience des utilisateurs. Pour ce faire, nous tirons parti de la fonctionnalité de mise en cache réseau d’ICN et proposons un signal re ́seau simple envoyé périodiquement par le cache à exploiter par l’algorithme d’adaptation DAS pour optimiser la qualité d’expérience de l’utilisateur en évitant le phénomène bien connu des oscillations induites par le cache. Des expériences nous permettent de valider le bien-fondé de notre approche.Enfin, puisque la diffusion multimedia en direct gagne du terrain, nous proposons hICN-RTC, en intégrant hICN (hybrid ICN), une solution ICN-dans-IP, à WebRTC, accompagné du protocole RICTP (Realtime Information Centric Transport Protocol), un protocole de transport basé sur le contenu, qui minimise la latence. Bien que toujours en développement, les résultats des premières expériences sont prometteurs car ils montrent que le trafic induit par hICN-RTC ne croit qu’avec le nombre de locuteurs actifs plutôt qu’avec le nombre total de participants. / Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a promising architecture to address today Internet multimedia traffic explosion and increasing user mobility: not only to enhance the user’s quality of experience, but also to naturally and seamlessly extend video sup- port deeper in the network functions. However, to the best of our knowledge, a thorough assessment of the benefits brought by ICN to multimedia delivery has not been done yet. In this thesis, we aim at reducing the gap to such assessment, by considering ICN in various multimedia delivery scenarios.First, we assess the benefits brought by an ICN-based Dynamic Adaptive Streaming (DAS) compared to TCP/IP based streaming, by means of an experimental campaign that includes multiple channels (e.g., emulated Wi-Fi and LTE, real 3G/4G traces), multiple clients (homogeneous vs heterogeneous mixture, synchronous vs asynchronous arrivals) and carefully selected DAS adaptation logics to cover the broad families of available adaptation algorithms. We also warn about potential pitfalls that are nonethelesseasily avoidable.Second, we show how network assistance helps im- proving the users’ quality of experience. To do so, we leverage the in-network caching feature of ICN and propose a simple periodical network signal from the cache (i.e., per-quality hit ratio) to be exploited by DAS adaptation logic to enhance further the user’s quality of experience by avoiding the known cache-induced quality oscillations. We confirm the soundness of our approach through experiments.Finally, as live multimedia delivery is gaining momentum, we propose hICN-RTC by integrating hICN (hybrid ICN), an ICN-in-IP solution, to WebRTC and we design RICTP (Realtime Information Centric Trans- port Protocol), a content-aware transport that minimizes the communication latency. Although still in development, the results we gathered from early experiments are promising as they show that hICN-RTC scales with the number of active speakers rather than the total number of participants.

abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a more pervasive part of everyday life. IoT networks such as wireless sensor networks, depend greatly on the limiting unnecessary power consumption. As such, providing low-power, adaptable software can greatly improve network design. For streaming live video content, Wireless Video Sensor Network Platform compatible Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (WVSNP-DASH) aims to revolutionize wireless segmented video streaming by providing a low-power, adaptable framework to compete with modern DASH players such as Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG-DASH) and Apple’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Live Streaming (HLS). Each segment is independently playable, and does not depend on a manifest file, resulting in greatly improved power performance. My work was to show that WVSNP-DASH is capable of further power savings at the level of the wireless sensor node itself if a native capture program is implemented at the camera sensor node. I created a native capture program in the C language that fulfills the name-based segmentation requirements of WVSNP-DASH. I present this program with intent to measure its power consumption on a hardware test-bed in future. To my knowledge, this is the first program to generate WVSNP-DASH playable video segments. The results show that our program could be utilized by WVSNP-DASH, but there are issues with the efficiency, so provided are an additional outline for further improvements. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Computer Engineering 2018

Over the past 10 years online video streaming has seen a tremendous increase in popularity, as it has become a great source of both entertainment and education. This increase in popularity has led to demands for higher quality streams, shorter buffering time and service adaptivity, based on the user’s personal prerequisites. These demands together with a constant increase in Internet usage have posed several challenges for streaming service providers to overcome. Within this master thesis an exploratory research and development project has been conducted. The project’s purpose has been to investigate common approaches, standards and trends related to establishing a multimedia streaming service. Based on the results from these investigations, the purpose has furthermore been to design and implement a proof-of-concept streaming server fulfilling the thesis internship company’s needs and requirements. Research has concluded that there are at least five vital components, which have to be carefully considered in order to establish a successful streaming service. These vital components are; the service system structure, the service application programming interface (API), the service hosting solution, the service data storage solution and finally the actual streaming module. Based on results from conducted investigations of common design approaches for each vital component, decisions for the thesis project implementation have been made. The resulting system has been built using the event-based system structure framework Node.js. A representational state transfer (REST) API has furthermore been implemented for managing client request routing. The resulting system has been implemented on a self-hosted server solution even though this is neither a preferred choice in theory nor common practice. The decision has however been made due to future plans at the thesis internship company of investing in a corporate-wide cloud-based server solution. For the service data storage solution the relation-based database management system MySQL has been implemented. For the final recognized vital component, the streaming module, support for HTTP-based multimedia streams has been implemented. This choice of technique has been made due to the many benefits brought on by using HTTP, such as cost efficiency and bandwidth optimization. The use of HTTP is also currently a trending choice of technique Thesis for Master’s Degree at HIT and LiU within the streaming community due to the recently published standard MPEG-DASH.

The subject of this term project is the analysis and description of possibilities in video streaming optimization, and the design of a client/server application to implement optimized video streaming in practice. The client side of the application is realized with a mobileapplication for the Android platform, which in addition to video streaming implements the functionality of a file manager over directories and files saved in the cloud.

Key tasks of this work are to create the simulation of a wireless network in ns-3 and to stream a video over this network by using MPEG-DASH technology. It describes the tools and methods how to encode a video according to MPEG-DASH. It is explained what is needed to run video server, which uses MPEG-DASH technology to stream videos. Then, it is described how a simulation of wired and wireless WiFi and LTE networks is created. The simulation starts a server and shows how it works, how many nodes can be used and chooses suitable segment duration.

Continuous improvements to the state of the art have made it easier to create, send and receive vast quantities of video over the Internet. Catalysed by these developments, video is now the largest, and fastest growing type of traffic on modern IP networks. In 2015, video was responsible for 70% of all traffic on the Internet, with an compound annual growth rate of 27%. On the other hand, concerns about the growing energy consumption of ICT in general, continue to rise. It is not surprising that there is a significant energy cost associated with these extensive video usage patterns. In this thesis, I examine the energy consumption of typical video configurations during decoding (playback) and encoding through empirical measurements on an experimental test-bed. I then make extrapolations to a global scale to show the opportunity for significant energy savings, achievable by simple modifications to these video configurations. Based on insights gained from these measurements, I propose a novel, energy-aware Quality of Experience (QoE) metric for digital video - the Energy - Video Quality Index (EnVI). Then, I present and evaluate vEQ-benchmark, a benchmarking and measurement tool for the purpose of generating EnVI scores. The tool enables fine-grained resource-usage analyses on video playback systems, and facilitates the creation of statistical models of power usage for these systems. I propose GreenDASH, an energy-aware extension of the existing Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP standard (DASH). GreenDASH incorporates relevant energy-usage and video quality information into the existing standard. It could enable dynamic, energy-aware adaptation for video in response to energy-usage and user ‘green' preferences. I also evaluate the subjective perception of such energy-aware, adaptive video streaming by means of a user study featuring 36 participants. I examine how video may be adapted to save energy without a significant impact on the Quality of Experience of these users. In summary, this thesis highlights the significant opportunities for energy savings if Internet users gain an awareness about their energy usage, and presents a technical discussion how this can be achieved by straightforward extensions to the current state of the art.

This thesis aims to create an advanced multimedia player with support of an adaptive stream, securing of the multimedia content and support for playing advertisement. The first part explains the used technologies followed by an analysis of available solutions and the comparison between the two. The theoretical framework is then used to create a player library and a testing application. The player library is based on the framework of ExoPlayer application. Whole application is created in Java for the operation system Android OS.

[ES] La distribución de contenidos multimedia, tanto a través de Internet como de redes gestionadas dedicadas exclusivamente a este fin, está teniendo una mayor cuota del tráfico total y crece cada día, especialmente el servicio de vídeo streaming. Por ello, ha surgido el interés de investigar para mantener y mejorar la Calidad de Servicio (QoS) en redes de acceso y backbone, y ofrecer Calidad de Experiencia (QoE) a los usuarios finales; mediante el ajuste de parámetros, configuraciones, protocolos y algoritmos a los requerimientos de la red en cuanto a la alta demanda de tráfico de vídeo. Lo anterior aprovechando al máximo los recursos de la red, tanto en el núcleo y las redes de acceso, como el ancho de banda y la capacidad total instalada, y al mismo tiempo, proponiendo alternativas de transporte eficientes para el tráfico de vídeo agregado sin incrementar los costos de los servicios; y alternativas para reducir los costos operativos y gastos de mantenimiento de manera eficiente, como por ejemplo la reducción del consumo de energía. En primer lugar, esta tesis aborda el estudio de propuestas de conmutación óptica en redes troncales y la distribución de contenidos multimedia, particularmente la propuesta de Red de Conmutación Óptica de Ráfagas (OBS) desde el punto de vista de la Ingeniería Telemática. Por lo tanto, se estudia la arquitectura, protocolos y algoritmos de estas redes para hacer aportes a la evaluación del tráfico de vídeo y alternativas para ofrecer QoS y QoE para el tráfico multimedia. En este sentido, este trabajo contribuye con propuestas para la evaluación de la calidad mediante simulación utilizando trazas de transmisiones de vídeo reales, y propuestas de algoritmos de scheduling y ensamblaje de ráfagas ópticas para ofrecer QoS y QoE al tráfico de vídeo en las redes OBS. En segundo lugar, se estudian los patrones de tráfico de vídeo a nivel de aplicación y de red para caracterizarlos y realizar estudios de eficiencia energética y ahorro de consumo energético en las tarjetas de red utilizadas por servidores de vídeo en streaming y clientes que implementan el estándar IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), tanto en redes gestionadas, como IPTV que implementa transmisión de vídeo RTP, como en redes no gestionadas, como Internet, que implementa el estándar Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) para servicios Over The Top (OTT). Para alcanzar este objetivo, se implementan testbeds y se llevan a cabo experimentos para concluir cómo el tráfico de vídeo podría beneficiarse de la eficiencia energética y lograr una reducción a gran escala en el consumo de energía si el estándar EEE se implementa a nivel mundial en las tarjetas Ethernet de los dispositivos involucrados en la distribución de vídeo. El tema integrador que se aborda en esta tesis es la distribución de vídeo digital. Por lo tanto, este trabajo también presenta un estudio sobre la codificación y adaptación de transmisión de vídeo en redes IP, presentando aspectos relacionados con la evaluación de la calidad de vídeo y la evaluación de la calidad de transmisión de la red. Por ello, se proponen e implementan metodologías y bancos de pruebas que involucran la programación y ejecución de simuladores, scripts, algoritmos, software y, en general, frameworks para realizar estudios de transmisiones de vídeo en redes de telecomunicaciones, cubriendo el amplio espectro de las Comunicaciones Multimedia. Este estudio podría ser de utilidad para emprender otros estudios necesarios ante la rápida evolución tanto de la demanda de servicios multimedia como de las propuestas de nuevas técnicas de distribución de contenidos. / [CAT] La distribució de continguts multimèdia, a través d'Internet i a través de xarxes gestionades dedicades exclusivament a aquesta finalitat, està tenint una part més gran del trànsit total i augmenta cada dia, especialment el servei de streaming de vídeo. Per tant, ha sorgit l'interés de la recerca per mantenir i millorar la Qualitat de Servei (QoS) en les xarxes d'accés i troncals, i per oferir Qualitat d'Experiència (QoE) als usuaris finals, ajustant paràmetres, configuracions, protocols i algoritmes als requeriments de la xarxa pel que fa a l'alta demanda de trànsit de vídeo. Aquest últim, aprofitant al màxim els recursos de xarxa al nucli i a les xarxes d'accés, com ara l'amplada de banda i la capacitat instal·lada total, i alhora, proposant alternatives de transport eficients per al trànsit agregat de vídeo sense augmentar els costos dels serveis i alternatives per reduir les despeses operatives i de manteniment d'una manera eficient, com ara reduir el consum d'energia. En primer lloc, aquesta tesi tracta l'estudi de les propostes de commutació òptica en xarxes troncals pel que fa a la distribució de continguts multimèdia, especialment l'estudi de la proposta de xarxes de commutació de ràfegues òptiques (OBS) des del punt de vista de l'Enginyeria Telemàtica. Per tant, s'estudia l'arquitectura, els protocols i els algoritmes d'aquestes xarxes per fer contribucions a l'avaluació del trànsit de vídeo i alternatives per oferir QoS i QoE per al trànsit multimèdia. En aquest sentit, aquest treball contribueix amb propostes per a l'avaluació de la qualitat mitjançant la simulació utilitzant traces de transmissions de vídeo reals, i propostes d'algoritmes de programació i muntatge de ràfegues òptiques per oferir QoS i QoE al trànsit de vídeo a les xarxes OBS. En segon lloc, s'estudien els patrons de trànsit de vídeo a nivell d'aplicació i xarxa per caracteritzar-los i realitzar estudis sobre eficiència energètica i estalvi energètic en les targetes de xarxa utilitzades pels servidors i clients de vídeo en streaming que implementen l'IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) estàndard, tant en xarxes gestionades com IPTV, que implementa la transmissió de vídeo RTP, com en xarxes no gestionades com Internet, que implementa l'estàndard Dynamic Adaptive Streaming sobre HTTP (DASH) per als serveis Over The Top (OTT). Per assolir aquest objectiu, s'implementen bancs de proves i es realitzen experiments per concloure com el trànsit de vídeo podria beneficiar l'eficiència energètica i aconseguir una reducció a gran escala del consum d'energia si s'implementa l'estàndard EEE a les targetes Ethernet dels dispositius implicats en la distribución de vídeo. El tema integrador que s'aborda en aquesta tesi és la distribució de vídeo digital, per tant, aquest treball també presenta un estudi sobre la codificació i adaptació de la transmissió de vídeo a les xarxes IP, presentant aspectes relacionats amb l'avaluació de la qualitat del vídeo i l'avaluació de la qualitat de la transmissió de la xarxa. Per això, es proposen i s'implementen metodologies i bancs de proves que impliquen la programació i execució de simuladors, scripts, algoritmes, programari i, en general, frameworks per a la realització d'estudis de transmissions de vídeo en xarxes de telecomunicacions, abastant l'ampli espectre de les Comunicacions Multimèdia. Aquest estudi podria ser útil per emprendre altres estudis necessaris en la ràpida evolució tant de la demanda de serveis multimèdia com de les noves propostes de tècniques de distribució de continguts. / [EN] Multimedia content distribution, both over the Internet and over managed networks dedicated exclusively for this purpose, is having a greater share of total traffic and it is raising every day, especially the video streaming service. Therefore, research interest has arisen to maintain and improve the Quality of Service (QoS) in access and backbone networks, and to offer Quality of Experience (QoE) to end users, by adjusting parameters, configurations, protocols and algorithms to the network requirements regarding the video traffic high demand. The latter is carried out taking full advantage of the network resources at core and access networks such as bandwidth and total installed capacity, and at the same time, proposing efficient transportation alternatives for the aggregated video traffic without increasing services costs and alternatives to reduce operational and maintenance expenditures in an efficient manner, such as reducing the energy consumption. In the first place, this thesis deals with the study of optical switching proposals in backbone networks regarding multimedia content distribution, particularly studying the Optical Bursts Switching (OBS) Networks proposal from the Telematics Engineering point of view. Therefore, architecture, protocols and algorithms of these networks are studied to make contributions to the video traffic evaluation and alternatives to offer QoS and QoE for multimedia traffic. In this sense, this work contributes with proposals for the evaluation of quality through simulation using traces of real video transmissions, and optical burst assembly and scheduling algorithms proposals to offer QoS and QoE to video traffic in the OBS networks. Secondly, video traffic patterns at the application and network level are studied to characterize them and carry out studies on energy efficiency and energy consumption savings in the network cards used by streaming video servers and clients that implement the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, both in managed networks, such as IPTV that implements RTP video streaming, and unmanaged networks, such as Internet which implements Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) standard for Over The Top (OTT) services. To reach this goal, testbeds are implemented, and experiments are carried out to conclude how video traffic could benefit from the energy efficiency and achieve a large-scale reduction in energy consumption if the EEE standard is implemented word wide in the Ethernet cards of devices involved in video distribution. The integrating subject that is addressed in this thesis is the distribution of digital video. Therefore, this work also presents a study on the IP networks video transmission encoding and adaptation, presenting aspects regard the video quality evaluation and the network transmission quality assessment. Therefore, methodologies and testbeds are proposed and implemented that involves programming and execution of simulators, scripts, algorithms, software and, in general, frameworks to carry out studies for video transmissions in telecommunications networks, covering the broad spectrum of Multimedia Communications. This study could be useful to undertake other necessary studies in the rapid evolution of both, multimedia services demand and new content distribution techniques proposals. / Vargas Hernández, TR.
