2009 Theme

The theme for ODCSSS 2009 "Technologies for bridging the digital-physical divide: sensing the environment". Each ODCSSS student is engaged in a research project with a faculty member and mentor which provides them an opportunity to experience research. The selection of interns is highly competitive but we encourage anyone interested in research who is eligible to apply.

Distribution of video services in two-hop wireless networks

Odysseus: 
2009

A state-of-the-art cluster-based solution for two-hop wireless networks has been recently designed to enable the wireless network operators to provide efficient triple play services (voice, data and video) to the end-users. This project aims at investigating the performance of an adaptive and dynamically varying cluster-based solution for next generation video-on-demand (VoD) and multimedia streaming over mobile/handheld wireless devices. The project involves the design, modelling (using Network Simulator – NS2) and testing of the adaptive solution for distributing video content in such an environment. The testing will compare this approach with other adaptive and non-adaptive solutions.

Demonstratable Outcome: 

Model for adaptive video distribution, simulation results and a technical paper.

Supervisors and Mentors:
