Disruptions and Challenges in Video Delivery

–  Social  and  converged  video  experiences  –  Use  the  device  and  network    ecosystem  for  best  experience  –  Redefine  performance  metrics  by  adding  user  behavior  

–  Content-­‐centric  and  cloud  based  networking  –  Combine  and  trade  storage  and  transmission  –  Address  content  protec/on  and  security  with  minimal  disrup/on  

–  Heterogeneous  and  Mobile  Technology  Internet  –  Leverage  the  mobile  cloud  and  viral  communica/ons  for  community  viewing  

–  Favor  robust  implementa/ons  across  devices  and  networks

TV as an Experience •  Mobile  – Not  just  device  and  networks  but  people    

•  Social  (personal)  – Not  just  people  but  devices  and  networks  

•  And  more  and  more  IP  based  – Both  OTT  and  controlled    

The  “anywhere/any/me/any  device”  world    is  upon  us

Our Research (1) •  Rediscover  networking  – Collabora/ve  applica/ons  – Content  distribu/on  architectures  – Network/device  interconnec/vity  – Green  networking  

Network Coding and Reliable Communications Group

Our Research (2) •  Rediscover  video  content  distribu/on  and  viewing  – Consider  video  as  another  source  of  informa/on  – Recognize  the  importance  of  wireless  for  next  genera/on  video  

– Enable  efficient  content  distribu/on  at  the  edge  – Define  new  approaches  to  content  protec/on  in  a  social  viewing  space
