- This theoretical work, published in IEEE-TMM, the leading multimedia journal, proposes the first distributed rate allocation algorithm to minimize the average decoding delay for multimedia clients in inter-session network coding systems. This non-convex problem was solved by introducing the novel concept of equivalent packet flows, which permits to decompose the problem into several convex rate allocation subproblems. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the decoding delay experienced by users and guarantees close to 100% timely decoding of coded video data. Early versions of this work received the best student paper award at IEEE Packet Video Workshop 2012.
