Media Internet
High-quality end-to-end connectivity is imperative for facilitating media-rich applications including on-demand and live video streaming, as well as teleconferencing. The emergence of immersive telepresence in Virtual Reality further intensifies the demand for high throughput and low latency.
IDLab has a long-lasting expertise in networked video solutions, with a focus on the intricate interplay between various elements:
- Designing next-generation connectivity systems that support efficient and scalable media delivery across hybrid networks (wired/wireless, broadband/broadcast), leveraging in-network computational resources from the cloud-edge continuum.
- Implementing cross-layer protocol optimizations to ensure swift session start-up and enhanced delivery speed for both UDP- and TCP-based solutions, such as QUIC, DASH and WebRTC.
- Pioneering novel media formats, ranging from traditional 2D to cutting-edge holographic video, and employing efficient encoding techniques to enable optimized streaming.
- Deploying AI-based delivery algorithms that accurately adapt routing and buffering strategies to variable network characteristics, to maximize user experience.
