Stage M2 2017
Title: WLAN/SDN integration to improve video QOE Location: LIP6, 4 place Jussieu 75005 PARIS
Supervisors: Brigitte Kervella / Olivier Fourmaux
Introduction: Video streaming is the dominant Internet traffic. Last report from Cisco Systems [1]
shows the Internet video traffic represents 59% from the global internet traffic and it will reach 77% by 2019. Although, in 2018 most of end user devices will be connect with Internet using wireless links. Meanwhile, SDN (Software Defined Networking) architecture was used in different networks such as datacenter and service provider networks which is mainly connected using wired connections. However, using SDN in wireless networks such as WIFI to improve video streaming does not take the same attention.
Objective: This internship aims to improve video streaming Quality of Experience (QoE) over wireless networks. The student will work with real WIFI devices and integrate them with SDN controller. In addition, he/she measure the wireless links quality and users QoE. Then develop a new streaming algorithm over wireless networks.
Results:
• Improve video streaming QoE over wireless networks
• Student will have knowledge with the state of art technology in computer networks.
• Student will increase his skills in project design and management.
Required Skills: C/C++, Python , Linux , Computer Networks , Wireless Networks.
