Intelligent synthesis mechanism for deriving streaming priorities of multimedia content

Abstract

Abstract-We address the problem of integrating user preferences with network Quality of Service parameters for the streaming of media content, and suggest protocol stack configurations that satisfy user and technical requirements to the best available degree. Our approach is able to handle inconsistencies between user and networking considerations, formulating the problem of construction of tailor-made protocols as a prioritization problem, solvable using fuzzy programming.Index Terms-Communication protocols, fuzzy prioritization methods, multimedia communications, quality of service, subjective multimedia quality.
