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

New paradigms for creation of television and video
services in a network of technologies, services and
consumers while keeping the TV “expected
behavior”

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

13. Network Coding and

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
