Free Tickets for "Embedded World 2018"Hello everyone, The Embedded World is THE leading international fair for embedded systems.... Read more Hello everyone, The Embedded World is THE leading international fair for embedded systems. Since the fair is not open to the general public, this is a great opportunity ro get in touch with the embedded systems industry. If you are interested in any aspect of embedded systems (this includes getting a job in the embedded systems field), I can tell you from personal experience that it is definitely worth a visit. More information can be found here: https://www.embedded-world.de/en The students day will be March 1st, 2018. Whether there will be some form of organized transport from the University to the Exhibition is not clear yet, so it is possible that you have to find a way to get there yourself. If you have any further questions or just want to have a ticket, contact me (in person if possible). Best regards,

Course Details
Introduction
Already today a significant portion of the Internet traffic is due to audio/visual applications (VoIP, Youtube, IPTV). The used transport protocols (TCP, UDP/RTP), however, are inappropriate and lack means of optimised and application layer adapted content transport.
The course will introduce the requirements for media transport in the Internet, introduce proper channel models, calculate the channel capacity of those channels and derive a framework for optimised media transport. The focus is on the error coding in the transport layer, so that the results can be applied to any audio/visual application.
Besides giving an overview over recent specifications and standards (DVB, DLNA, ISMA) the course will introduce latest research results on media transport.
Prerequisites
As well Digital Transmission & Signal Processing (Telecommunications I) as Audio/visual Communications and Networks (Telecommunications II) are recommended for this course. Students with solid background in Computer Networks and Error Correction, however, are also encouraged to participate.
