This course covers the latest research in the areas of mobile networks and multimedia systems. We will discuss how to efficiently stream multimedia content over the dynamic Internet to heterogeneous fixed and mobile receivers, along with other mobile multimedia applications. We will review the basic concepts of multimedia networking, and then work on interesting term projects. Students are expected to present their project progresses and turn in rigorously-written technical reports.
The lectures will be given in English. All the assignments and technical reports must be in English.
