  • Target-based coverage extension of 802.11 MANETs via constrained UAV mobility

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    MANETs are known to be useful in situations where mobile nodes need to communicate and coordinate in dynamic environments with no access to fixed network infrastructure. However, connectivity problems can occur when sub-groups within a MANET move out of communication range from one another. The increasingly prolific use of UAVs...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • Adaptive Streaming Methods using Dual Protocols and Reinforcement Learning

    Creator:
    Gatimu, Kevin
    Abstract:
    The ubiquity of high quality video and proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to an unprecedented rise in video consumption. HTTP, in conjunction with adaptive streaming, has become the de facto mechanism for delivering the vast majority of video as it readily caters to heterogeneous networks and devices. This dissertation...

  • Urban military operation mobility model

    Creator:
    Kang, Ho Sung
    Abstract:
    A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is collection of wireless mobile nodes without a network infrastructure or centralized administration. Although MANETs can be used in many applications, such as mobile Internet, military communication, and disaster relief networks, a number of challenges remain. These include routing, medium access control, security, scalability, energy...

  • 802.11 Channel Switching for High-Definition Video Streaming

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Erin
    Abstract:
    As screen resolution and video decoding capability have increased, high-definition (HD) video in resolutions as high as 1920 x 1080 is rapidly becoming the standard. Ad-hoc streaming of HD video over 802.11 wireless networks, e.g., streaming from a mobile device to a television, is convenient for users, but is hampered...

  • Spatial motion vector recovery in wireless high definition video transmission using H.264 over WLANs

    Creator:
    Gatimu, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Mobile devices are becoming more prevalent and complex. As a result, the wireless communication aspect of these devices is becoming increasingly significant. At the same time, video demands in terms of availability and quality are also on the uprise. High definition (HD) video is the standard of choice for meeting...

  • Optimization of Flexible Dual-TCP/UDP Streaming Protocol For HD Video Streaming over 802.11 Wireless Networks

    Creator:
    Dhamodaran, Arul N.
    Abstract:
    Flexible Dual-TCP/UDP Streaming Protocol with Adaptive Bitstream Prioritization (FDSP with Adaptive-BP) is a new method for streaming H.264-encoded High-definition (HD) video over WLANs. Traditionally, video streaming is done either using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) protocol, resulting in either rebuffering or packet loss respectively. While FDSP-based...

  • Network monitoring with focus on HTTP

    Creator:
    Schmid, Andreas
    Abstract:
    Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the quick growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) traffic raises the question of whether past Local Area Network (LAN) packet traces still reflect the current situation or whether they have become obsolete. For this thesis, several LAN packet traces were obtained by...

  • A performance study of multithreading

    Creator:
    Kwak, Hantak
    Abstract:
    As the performance gap between processor and memory grows, memory latency will be a major bottleneck in achieving high processor utilization. Multithreading has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting techniques used to tolerate memory latency by exploiting thread-level parallelism. The question however remains as to how effective...
