In this paper, we consider a large population of mobile stations that are interconnected by a multihop wireless network. The applications of this wireless infrastructure range from ad hoc networking (e.g., collaborative, distributed computing) to disaster recovery (e.g., fire, flood, earthquake

The scenario is that a bulk data transfer is being performed over a TCP connection, from a host on a local area network (LAN) to a mobile host attached to the LAN by a radio link. In earlier work [10] we had assumed that packet losses in a TCP connection over a radio link are statistically

Abstract—Enabling video transport over ad hoc networks is more challenging than over other wireless networks. The wireless links in an ad hoc network are highly error prone and can go down frequently because of node mobility, interference, channel fading, and the lack of infrastructure. However

Abstract Video application is becoming an important application under the next-generation wireless networks. However, supporting video communication over wireless networks poses many c hallenges due to uctuations of wireless channel conditions. Scalable video coding and adaptive services have been

of mobile devices capable of capturing and displaying images and video which in turn provides new technical challenges and commercial opportunities for video streaming technologies. This emerging trend in providing multimedia services like streaming video, video conferencing and games over mobile networks

In this paper, we describe an e#ective method for increasing error resilience of video transmission over bit error prone networks. Rate-distortion optimized mode selection and synchronization marker insertion algorithms are introduced. The resulting video communication system takes into account

are extraordinarily diverse, and send targeted messages to speci c segments of audiences responding to speci c moods of audiences. They are increasingly inclusive, bridging from one another, from network TV to cable TV or satellite TV, radio, VCR, video, portable devices, and the Internet. The whole set is coming

Wearable computing moves computation from the desktop to the user. We are forming a community of networked wearable computer users to explore, over a long period, the augmented realities that these systems can provide. By adapting its behavior to the user's changing environment, a body

Abstract — The pace at which powerful portable wireless consumer devices such as smartphones and tablets have been adopted has not been matched by the ability of mobile networks to deliver high-quality video streams consistently to such nomadic users. In this work, we propose CMT-NEMO, a novel

Real-time video conferencing or streaming over mobile network introduces a challenge to the endto-end design of the whole system. Due to the realtime character of these applications, there are no retransmissions possible at the transport layer and therefore any errors result in packet loss
