Fundamentals of networking and multimedia: Internet architecture-layered network design and protocols. Transport layer protocols. Quantization, Analog to digital converter, qualitative requirements needed for multimedia transmission, QoS for multimedia transmission. Image and video compression standards: JPEG image compression, intra-frame coding, inter-frame coding, motion estimation, and motion compensation. Video compression standards and their applications: MPEG2, MPEG4, and H.264.
Adaptation transmission technologies: congestion control, rate control, adaptive encoding, Forward Error Correction (FEC), automatic repeat request (ARQ), and adaptive playback. Protocols suitable for multimedia transmission: Realtime Protocol (RTP), RTP Control Protocol (RTCP), Real-time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). QoS provision with the network support: DiffServ and IntServ architectures.
Peer-to-peer multimedia applications: networking architectures for multimedia transmission: client/server architecture, multicast, Content Delivery Network, and peer-to-peer networking. Applications based on peer-to-peer networks, including file distribution, voice, and video transmission. File-sharing using Bit Torrent. Skype peer-to-peer VoIP application, and PPlive Internet video broadcasting application.
