 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Robust and efficient multimedia transmission over wireless networks to mobile users is a challenging task due to large bandwidth consumption, quality of service (QoS) requirements, real-time and power constraints, heterogeneous receiver capabilities and error-prone wireless transmission environment. The necessity for seamless access and exchange of large amount of multimedia content anytime and anywhere by mobile users is driving intensive research within this field as it provides a number of business opportunities through commercial multimedia applications provisioning such as digital TV, video-on-demand, video conferencing, 3D TV, interactive gaming, social networking, etc. To address the ever-increasing consumers’ requirements and ensure QoS, the emerging solutions for multimedia streaming over next generation wireless networks need to be adaptive to the specific conditions of the network and the receiver devices and take into account each individual user experience. Current state-of-the-art approaches in multimedia processing and communications are not driven by the quality of the users’ experience and the project proposed is aimed at addressing this problem. The goal is to design a system that would be able to dynamically adjust the multimedia signal processing and communication parameters based on the appropriate video quality feedback provided by the receiver devices themselves, thus assuring optimal delivery for each specific configuration of the mobile wireless network. The main objective of this Project is to establish new partnerships and to reinforce already existing paths of cooperation between participating European and non‐European research institutions through a coordinated multiannual joint research programme in the field of quality-driven multimedia processing and communications for multimedia streaming over emerging wireless networks.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

As mobile data traffic rises due to the explosion of smartphones and tablets, the transmission of multimedia across wireless networks becomes more demanding. An EU initiative is aiming to enhance the mobile user experience for multimedia streaming applications across next-generation wireless networks.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

The quality of service (QoS) or overall performance of real-time multimedia applications like digital and 3D TV, social networking, video-on-demand, interactive gaming and video conferencing can suffer from various issues. These include high bandwidth usage, power limits and a wireless transmission environment where an error is easily caused.

Along with the increasing demand for seamless multimedia streaming comes the need for novel approaches to multimedia processing and communications that give priority to the requirements of mobile users.

To help achieve this, the EU-funded 'Video quality driven multimedia streaming in mobile wireless networks' (http://www.qostream.org (QOSTREAM)) project is looking at methods to tweak multimedia signal processing and communication parameters in order to ensure the finest video quality during transmission.

Researchers from Europe as well as Brazil, Japan, South Africa and the United States are focusing their efforts on state-of-the-art solutions for multimedia streaming over emerging wireless networks that will adjust to the particular circumstances of the network and the receiver devices. A workshop was held in 2013 to explore such novel techniques.

At the halfway point of the project, the team has designed streaming packet monitoring and continuous subjective video quality gathering solutions for Android devices, in addition to solutions for evaluating the video quality for multimedia applications.

The project has undergone nearly 63 total months of research exchange. This intensive activity has led to 32 publications, nearly half of which are journal papers.

When developed, QOSTREAM innovative system designs will have enhanced functionalities never before seen in multimedia streaming. The project should ensure optimal functionality of multimedia delivery in future wireless networks.
