MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS FOR 5G
Course objectives
GENERAL • Knowledge and understanding of the most advanced multimedia systems and services, like streaming, broadcasting, video e voice over IP, extended reality services. • Applying knowledge and understanding: identifying the main architectural and technological issues involved in communication oriented multimedia systems. SPECIFIC • Achieve a big picture of multimedia systems design, including signal processing as well as networking issues, • Making judgements: and be able to analyse and design solutions for emerging multimedia services, such as extended reality, adaptive live streaming. • Communication skills: present and describe innovative solutions • Learning skills: Be able to read scientific papers and technical standard on the most advanced solutions for multimedia systems

Course program
Image, video, augmented reality acquisition and coding basics (15h).
Main coding standards for video and point clouds (15h).
Augmented/virtual reality streaming services; live uplink streaming services (15h).
Video conferencing services, voice and video over IP, e-learning, e-health (15).
For each service, the course presents the signaling protocols that control the session, the multiplexing protocols that encapsulate the data, the reference media codec,
the possible error resilience tools to be implemented.
Prerequisites
Introductory (101) knowledge of signal theory and networking.
Books
Stefania Colonnese, "Multimedia Systems Lecture Notes", English version reserved to student enrolled in the course, Italian version available at http://infocom.uniroma1.it/~colonnese/Corso_di_Sistemi_multimediali.htm
Teaching mode
The lessons are developed in different ways according to different teaching model. They include i)theoretical lessons, developed by frontal teaching on conventional whiteboard as well as using multimedia teaching tools for interactive visualization; ii)theoretical-practical lessons, resulting from a mix of theoretical lessons, driven study groups, laboratory experiments, presentation of ongoing lab activity.
Frequency
Attending classes is not mandatory but it is strongly encouraged.
Exam mode
Final evaluation relies on written material production, oral presentation, implementation of simulators related to multimedia systems, to be usually carried out throughout the course (April, May).
