infrastructure network environments. The emphasis is on jointly-optimised or co-operative
behaviour between the delivery context, as in real-time network conditions, and the video/audio
encoder rate control mechanisms. Innovative solutions are sought to enhance the Internet video
experience in a developing world context where bandwidth is a scarce resource.
Current research within the group is concentrating on optimal and weighted context-based bit
allocation techniques and implementations within international standard video codecs. A scalable
and bandwidth adaptive multimedia broadcasting platform is under development to encompass the
novelty of the bit allocation research.
