Advanced Video Services Delivery over Heterogeneous Networks

The increase of wired, wireless and mobile devices and the recent advancement in video compression and transmission in diverse environments is unprecedented. Multimedia communication is becoming an indispensable feature and provides an effective mean for human communications. The ENTHRONE special session aims to addresses an important issue related to Quality of Service (QoS) adaptation for the delivery of multimedia services over next generation networks. This session covers future multimedia communication systems that can be part of an end-to-end system, including support of the user’s needs and preferences with taking into consideration the terminal capabilities, the content specification and the underlying networking technologies. The purpose is to provide a control on the offered Quality of Service and Quality of Experience (QoE) by providing minimum packet losses, stringent delay boundary, and exploiting to the outmost the available resources at different multimedia system components (i.e. network / terminal / content). This special session presents the achievements of the ENTHRONE EC-funded R&D project and it is looking for papers coming from people of media coding and networking fields to meet, interact and exchange ideas targeting the above objectives.
