Cognitive Solution for Multimedia Access

Subscribers seeking to access multimedia content utilize wireless networks significantly. Multimedia access is influenced and impaired by variability in the availability of wireless access links. The impairment arises due to the occurrence of rain induced attenuation. This results in a multimedia content viewing gap (MCVG). The proposed research addresses the challenge of the MCVG and proposes the incorporation of artificial intelligence with computing and networking entities in enabling the creation of multi – media content. This is done aboard entities located in the subscriber residence instead of entities that were previously out of the subscriber residence. Performance analysis shows that the proposed mechanism outperforms existing mechanism and reduces access costs by at least 22.6% and up to 71% on average. The proposed mechanism also enhances the content access duration by 35.6%.
