Simulating Image File Formats over WiFi in OPNET Modeler

Presentation slides and final report (PDF files).

Abstract:
In today's technological society, it has become very common to send images to one another through our mobile phones. One of the most common network technology we use for this is easily WiFi. However, there are many different file formats for digital images, such as JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP. Our project will be simulating how these different file formats affect the quality of the transmission of image files over WiFi. We will also be exploring the effect on other users' packet loss, jitter, and latency while using this technology.

Video Streaming over LTE using Riverbed Modeler

Presentation slides and final report (PDF files).

Abstract:

LTE or Long-Term Evolution is a wireless network technology used by network operators around the globe for high-speed communication for smart phones or data terminals [1].

The aim of this project is to assess the performance of Video Streaming on LTE networks over a number of smartphone applications including Browser Applications, YouTube, Facebook and NetFlix. The idea is to analyze the packet transfer from a specific node to another and see the data loss or how the transfer occurs over a vast network with multiple nodes and evaluate its performance. Riverbed Modeler will be employed to administer the entire process.
