Prof. John Cosmas

Professor of Multimedia Systems,

Multimedia and Broadcast Networks Group.

Objectives of Group

In Multimedia and Broadcast Networks Group, we will develop more efficient and intelligent systems for the management of communication networks through the seamless integration of Internet and broadcast networks, and faster, flexible, more efficient radio transmission systems, through synergies between artificial intelligence, media and radio signal processing, for operating in heterogeneous and changing environments. We will also develop flexible, harmonized security systems for services and media to provide pervasive and trusted network and service infrastructures and international access to services and media.

 

Research Projects

PLUTO (Physical Layer DVB Transmission Optimisation)

The objective of this project is to research and develop novel techniques for broadcast transmitter networks that will minimise the complexity and power consumption of end user equipment. These techniques; Transmitter Diversity and Low Cost On-Channel Repeaters will improve reception in areas of poor coverage such as for mobile reception, indoors and sparsely populated or obscured locations. Test service scenarios will be developed to illustrate the benefits of the technology so that effectiveness can be researched in a variety of service and terrain scenarios using purpose built test systems.

INSTINCT (IP-based Networks, Services and Terminals for Converging Systems)

INSTINCT lays the foundation for the commercial take-up of the co-operation of broadcasting and telecommunication services in mobility for people on the move. It develops a comprehensive vision of the business drivers, based on a study of user requirements and an active monitoring of the regulatory factors. It finalizes all technical aspects necessary for a wide adoption of the system: multi-modal low-power terminals, scalable network and RF spectrum engineering solutions, standardized service provisioning and content creation tools and end-to-end quality of service management.

CULTURAL HERITAGE INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST SERVICES

The CHIMBS (Cultural Heritage Interactive Multimedia Broadcast Services) research project endeavours to create cultural heritage related service scenarios in order to promote and disseminate Europe’s cultural heritage sites to people "on the move" employing the CISMUNDUS system architecture and application tools (DVB-T, UMTS/GPRS).

 

SAVANT (Synchronized and Scalable AV Services across NeTworks)

It is critical for an integrated national information technology system that converged services developed for broadcast cable/terrestrial/satellite networks co-operating with POTS/DSL/cable telecom networks can be used on all flavours of broadcast and telecom network combinations through the application of synchronised and scaleable content and services. So, for example, the same content and services that is prepared for delivery over DVB-C with DSL networks can also be applied to content and services with the use of synchronisation and scalability tools, for delivery over DVB-S with POTS or DVB-T with UMTS networks. The SAVANT project provides and demonstrates solutions to this issue.

CISMUNDUS (Convergence of IP-based Services for Mobile Users and Networks in DVB-T and UMTS Systems)

Creation of multiple media services that can be delivered through the co-operation between two complementary wireless access networks, on one hand a "point-to-point" mobile telecom network (typically UMTS, but also GSM/GPRS/HSCSD) and on the other hand a point-to-multipoint" broadcast network (DVB-T or DAB).

£500K between July 2001- December 2003

 

CONFLUENT (Enabling commercial application of convergent services in collaborative networks of UMTS & DVB-T systems)

The CONFLUENT project will deliver prerequisites for the commercial exploitation of services combining UMTS and DVB-T, crucial to which is the availability of handheld terminals for high speed operation with low power consumption. The development in CONFLUENT of an integrated solution for space diversity reception of DVB-T using low-power front-end processing is a significant step towards the realisation of such terminals.

3D MURALE (3 D Measurement and Virtual Reconstruction of Ancient Lost Worlds of Europe)

3D measurement of the buildings and artifacts of the ancient Greco-Roman city of Sagalassos in Turkey and the virtual reconstruction and visualisation of the city during different epochs as well as the visualisation of the stratigraphic layers of the archaeological dig. Thank you to Alias-Wavefront for the generous donation of $130k worth of "Maya Unlimited" to help us in this research to preserve the cultural heritage of Europe.

Scalable Real Time Video Encoder 

A scalable parallel H.263 video encoder on a Mercury PowerPC RISC microprocessor based multiprocessor workstation has been implemented. A data-parallel approach is used to exploit data parallelism within each frame. A concurrent processing framework has been developed utilising an inter-processor communication technique to transfer data and synchronise execution of "accelerated procedures". Comparisons of execution times, speedups as well as frame encoding rates using different numbers of processors show that 90% of the maximum theoretical speed-up has be achieved. As the workstation is performance-scalable, it is estimated that by configuring additional processors in the PC host chassis, the real time performance can be achieved.
