Live video dissemination over Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) is fundamental for several services, e.g., roadside video emergency, advertisement's broadcast, and smart video surveillance. All these applications face many challenges due to stringent video quality level requirements, dynamic topologies, and broadcast environments. To deal with these challenges, as well as reduce network routing overhead, geographic Statistical Routing Protocols (SRPs) have been proposed as a suitable solution for the distribution of video flows in VANETs, usually by using positioning and Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. However, rather than only these parameters, a satisfactory video dissemination from the user's perspective also requires video and human-awareness issues. In real situations, due to different requirements and hierarchical structures of multimedia applications, network level and position parameters alone are not enough to select the best relay nodes and build up reliable routes to multi-hop video dissemination with satisfactory reachability and Quality of Experience (QoE) levels. This thesis focuses on improving the disseminated quality of on-road live videos in VANETs. Thus, we propose the cross-layer Broadcast Receiver-based and QoE-driven (BRQ) mechanism, which is modularly coupled to SRPs to offer QoE-aware and video-related parameters for the relay node selection and route maintenance. Thus, nodes decide for themselves to retransmit further the video sequences, enhancing the capacity of the system in delivering videos with better QoE assurance. On top of this, an application-level Error-Control (EC) scheme, namely Interleaving, allows mitigating the effects of frame loss. BRQ was added to a straightforward SRP built using the Distance method, named DBRQ protocol. Results show the gains of DBRQ compared to current SRPs, achieving video dissemination with QoE support, less routing overhead, and satisfactory reachability.

Platoon-based driving protocol for multimedia transmission over vanet
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-02-22) LOBATO JÚNIOR, Wellington Viana; VILLAS, Leandro Aparecido; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9830590737740134; ROSÁRIO, Dênis Lima do; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8273198217435163
Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) allow users, services, and vehicles to share information, and will change our life experience with new autonomous driving applications. Multimedia will be one of the core services in VANETs, and are becoming a reality in smart environments, ranging from safety and security trafic warnings to live entertainment and advertisement videos. However, VANETs have a dynamic network topology with short contact time, which leads to communication aws and delays, increasing packet loss and decreasing the Quality of Experience (QoE) of transmitted videos. To cope with this, neighbor vehicles moving on the same direction and wishing to cooperate should form a platoon, where platoon members act as a relay node to forward video packets in autonomous VANETs. This master's dissertation introduces a Game Theory approach for Platoon-based driving (GT4P) for video dissemination services in urban and highway VANET scenarios. GT4P encourages the cooperation between neighbor vehicles by offering reward (money or coupon) for vehicles participating in the platoon. In this sense, GT4P establishes a platoon by taking into account vehicle direction, speed, distance, link quality, and travel path, which reduces the impact of vehicle mobility on the video transmission. Simulation results confirm the eficiency of GT4P for ensuring video transmissions with high QoE support compared to existing platoon-based driving protocols.

Predição de qualidade de experiência para internet do futuro em arquiteturas heterogêneas de redes sem fio móveis

The Next Generation Networks are architectures that allow vertical handovers and the user-centric vision by the appropriate Quality of Experience (QoE) provisioning for multimedia applications. The discussion is much less protocol-oriented perspective and is more service-oriented perspective. This thesis presents an architecture for next-generation networks to provide wireless heterogeneous access and seamless vertical handover for multimedia applications. The proposal considers different wireless technologies and also adopts the standard IEEE 802.21 (Media Independent Handover – MIH) to assist in the integration and the mobility management of heterogeneous wireless networks. The technologies in architecture are: IEEE 802.11 (popular known as Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (popular known as WiMAX) and LTE (popular known as Fourth Generation – 4G). The objective is to choose the best connection for user. The proposal architecture presents mechanisms to predict quality of experience that will be decisive parameter to do or do not the handover, the prediction will be using artificial intelligence neural networks, in addition to architecture also provides a mechanism for QoE discard packets to specific multimedia applications. The proposal is evaluated by simulation using the ns-2 (Network Simulator) and the performance results are presented through the QoS/QoE metrics and also visually by displaying the video frames transmitted in architecture.
