Efficient Session-based Multimedia Content Delivery in NGNs

The book "Efficient Session-based Multimedia Content Delivery in NGNs" by Adel Al-Hezmi offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in the field of efficient delivery of multimedia content over Next Generation Networks (NGN). In light of the increasing demand for multimedia services on the internet, this dissertation addresses two central challenges: the need to develop mechanisms that support content delivery according to user contexts and preferences, as well as the optimization of the various signaling and transport protocols used for streaming multimedia content. The book examines existing approaches to multimedia content delivery in terms of their efficiency and presents a reference architecture design along with a prototype for implementing the essential components. This work is particularly relevant for professionals and students involved in the development and optimization of multimedia services in modern networks.
