“…Roaming (changing the access network): This case happens when the network that is delivering the IPTV service does not have enough available resources. Any of the methods proposed by the same authors of this paper, in references [2] or [23], can be used. According to the network characteristics and the values of the parameters measured anyone of them can be used.…”

The use of the triple-play services is growing up very quick in the recent years. This has come by the hand of the higher bandwidth offered in broadband access by the service providers. IPTV is the service that has been experienced more request, although it was the least developed. One of its biggest problems is to meet enough quality of experience (QoE) for the customers. This paper presents a QoE management system to guaranty enough IPTV QoE to the customer independently of its type of connection (wired or wireless). The User's QoE depends, among others, on the video quality, the zapping time and the synchronization time. The system calculates the user's QoE and notifies him which networks are available for him and have higher QoE. Then, the user decides to roam to that network. The system allows providing ubiquity to multinetwork devices.

“…Although we will see in our performance test that the systems works successfully, when there are many clients, we can also include the algorithm proposed by us in [2] in order to predict the customer's mobility and reserve resources in the network devices to prevent the roaming and provide faster reconnections.…”

The appearance of new broadband wireless technologies jointly with the ability to offer enough quality of service to provide IPTV over them, have made possible the mobility and ubiquity of any type of device to access the IPTV network. The minimum bandwidth required in the access network to provide appropriate quality 3D/2D IPTV services jointly with the need to guarantee the Quality of Experience (QoE) to the end user, makes the need of algorithms that should be able to combine different wireless standards and technologies. In this paper, we propose a network algorithm that manages the IPTV access network and decides which type of wireless technology the customers should connect with when using multiband devices, depending on the requirements of the IPTV client device, the available networks, and some network parameters (such as the number of loss packets and packet delay), to provide the maximum QoE to the customer. The measurements taken in a real environment from several wireless networks allow us to know the performance of the proposed system when it selects each one of them. The measurements taken from a test bench demonstrate the success of our system.

Large military ad hoc networks are often characterized by the interconnection of heterogeneous domains. The same trend is emerging in civilian MANETs (e.g., search and rescue, vehicular networks). In these networks it is important to be able to efficiently propagate information across domains in multicast mode (e.g., situation awareness dissemination, commands, streams). Several multicast protocols have been developed for single domain MANET. However, few can be extended to inter-domain operation. In fact, multicast routing across different MANET domains faces the challenges of node motion, topology changes, dynamic gateway election and, possibly, connectivity interruption. To overcome these challenges, especially to achieve routing scalability and at the same time maintains efficient routing, this paper proposes the Geo-assisted Multicast Inter-domain Routing (GMIDR) protocol based on geographical assistance and cluster technology. Intensive simulation results show that the GMIDR protocol is scalable and stable with various numbers of multicast group members, and it outperforms other multicast protocols. Geocast by applying GMIDR shows the flexibility of the protocol.
