In the last two decades the Internet technology has boosted and the connection speeds have been incrased from kilobits to hundred megabits scale. With the rising coverage of the Internet and the usage of mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones, the usage of social media and especially multimedia elements has been increased rapidly. This increment in streaming multimedia created a need for the assessment of the user experience on multimedia and especially video. Even though there are different Video Quality Assessment (VQA) methods for that purpose, most of them are Full-Reference (FR) or Reduced-Reference (RR). In today's world with many mobile devices, the application of these methods are not possible since they need the reference data. The No-Reference (NR) video metrics are much more suitable for the case. In this paper, the main objective is to evaluate a previously proposed NR VQA metric with a new dataset and to compare the results to other high-performance NR metrics such as G.1070 and G.1070E which do not utilize spatial and temporal characteristics of a given video sequence. Evaluation and comparison results show the accuracy and robustness of the proposed metric.

An accurate evaluation of machine learning algorithms for flow-based P2P traffic detection Soysal, Murat; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (2007-12-01) Today, peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic consumes the largest fraction of network bandwidth. The files shared by P2P communications are mostly copyright protected, and there are issues related to Quality of Service (QoS) support and billing of P2P traffic. Hence, scalable and accurate detection of peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic is a significant problem for network service providers. Flow-based detection methods employ characteristics of data flows such as the number of packets per flow to classify P2P and non-P2P traf...
Impact of scalability in video transmission in promotion-capable differentiated services networks Gurses, E; Akar, Gözde; Akar, N (2002-09-25) Transmission of high quality video over the Internet faces many challanges including unpredictable packet loss characteristics of the current Internet and the heterogeneity of receivers in terms of their bandwidth and processing capabilities. To address these challanges, we propose an architecture in this paper that is based on the temporally scalable and error resilient video coding mode of the H.263+ codec. In this architecture, the video frames will be transported over a new generation IP network that su...
A PARAMETRIC VIDEO QUALITY MODEL BASED ON SOURCE AND NETWORK CHARACTERISTICS Zerman, Emin; Konuk, Baris; NUR YILMAZ, GÖKÇE; Akar, Gözde (2014-10-30) The increasing demand for streaming video raises the need for flexible and easily implemented Video Quality Assessment (VQA) metrics. Although there are different VQA metrics, most of these are either Full-Reference (FR) or Reduced-Reference (RR). Both FR and RR metrics bring challenges for on-the-fly multimedia systems due to the necessity of additional network traffic for reference data. No-eference (NR) video metrics, on the other hand, as the name suggests, are much more flexible for user-end applicatio...
A SPATIOTEMPORAL NO-REFERENCE VIDEO QUALITY ASSESSMENT MODEL Konuk, Baris; Zerman, Emin; NUR YILMAZ, GÖKÇE; Akar, Gözde (2013-09-18) Many researchers have been developing objective video quality assessment methods due to increasing demand for perceived video quality measurement results by end users to speed-up advancements of multimedia services. However, most of these methods are either Full-Reference (FR) metrics, which require the original video or Reduced-Reference (RR) metrics, which need some features extracted from the original video. No-Reference (NR) metrics, on the other hand, do not require any information about the original v...
A Theoretical Performance Bound for Joint Beamformer Design of Wireless Fronthaul and Access Links in Downlink C-RAN Kadan, Fehmi Emre; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2021-01-01) It is known that data rates in standard cellular networks are limited due to inter-cell interference. An effective solution to this problem is to use the multi-cell cooperation idea. In Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN), which is a candidate solution in 5G and future communication networks, cooperation is applied by means of central processors (CPs) connected to simple remote radio heads with finite capacity fronthaul links. In this study, we consider a downlink C-RAN with a wireless fronthaul and aim to m...
