Control of Computing and Communication Systems Lab

The Control of Computing and Communication Systems lab focuses on the convergence of computer, communication and control to design and analyze large networked complex systems.

2013 March Cisco Award dal titolo: Architecture for Robust and Efficient Control of Dynamic Adaptive Video Streaming over HTTP.
Principal Investigator: S. Mascolo
Finanziato dal fondo "Cisco University Research Program" amministrato dalla Silicon Valley Community Foundation
La ricerca riguarda lo studio di nuovi sistemi di controllo per la distribuzione di video su Internet con qualità che si adatta automaticamente alla connessione e al dispositivo dell’utente.

Cisco award entitled: Architecture for Robust and Efficient Control of Dynamic Adaptive Video Streaming over HTTP.

2013 June In this paper we experimentally evaluate the Google Congestion Control (GCC) which has been recently proposed in the RTCWeb IETF WG. By setting up a controlled testbed, we have evaluated to what extent GCC flows are able to track the available bandwidth, while minimizing queuing delays, and fairly share the bottleneck with other GCC or TCP flows. We have found that the algorithm works as expected when a GCC flow accesses the bottleneck in isolation, whereas it is not able to provide a fair bandwidth utilization when a GCC flow shares the bottleneck with either a GCC or a TCP flow.

2013 March In this paper, we present a model of the automatic video stream-switching employed by a leading video streaming service along with a description of the client-side communication and control protocol. From the control architecture point of view, the automatic adaptation is achieved by means of two interacting control loops having the controllers at the client and the actuators at the server: one loop is the buffer controller, which aims at steering the client playout buffer to a target length by regulating the server sending rate; the other one implements the stream-switching controller and aims at selecting the video level. A detailed validation of the proposed model has been carried out through experimental measurements in an emulated scenario.
