TL;DR: The article presents a new solution for HTTP-compliant adaptive media streaming applicable to future 5G mobile networks, aimed at increasing bandwidth availability through the use of multiple radio access technologies and direct connections between devices if they are in proximity of each other.

TL;DR: The adopted methodology in providing end-to-end QoS is through an integrated management in the context of MPEG-21 framework for managing services at both customer and provider levels using Service Level Agreements (SLA) concept and provisioning network resources for satisfying the customer QoS demands.

TL;DR: A novel virtual Content-Aware Network (CAN) layer is proposed as a part of a full layered architecture, focused, but not limited to, on multimedia distribution with Quality of Services (QoS) assurance.

TL;DR: The SM framework presented is an architectural component of an integrated management system (IMS), having as a prime objective the support of end-to-end QoS based services through the integrated management of content, networks and terminals in heterogeneous network contexts.

TL;DR: This paper exposes the solution for multiple-server support to dynamic adaptive streaming applications: Multiple-Source Streaming (MS-Stream), a pragmatic and evolving solution for QoE enhancement that can be applied to many streaming architectures and is particularly suited for distributed environments such as P2P or Set-Top-Box overlays.
