Comments:

  • There is one formal modification that I suggest you make. At the end of Section you should define what precisely is the problem this thesis solves and how it breaks down to different objectives. It is not enough that you have it in Abstract.

Comments:

  • I have marked typos and such into the paper version - I can collect my
    copy for corrections
  • you write as if this is a report of Tuxera achiements - it is not.
    This is your thesis and you must make it clear what did you do
    personally. This applies to several Chapters e.g. conclusions and
    description of the implementation and testing.
  • structure: Now you go to 4 levels of headers but under-use numbering
    of Chapters. My suggestion would be to try to keep 3 levels of headers.
    What could help is to have more chapters by turning some 2nd level
    Sections into Chapters. For example, 2.2. could be a Chapter, if you
    keep 2.3 in this Chapter, get rid of 2.3.3 but keep the 2.3.3.1 and 2.3.3.2
  • For comparison, clear criteria would be helpful, e.g. functionality,
    quality under loss and capacity constraints, power consumption of the
    Mobile device (if you did not measure it, may be there are qualitative
    statements that are possible? OR are they all the same in terms of
    power consumption? Possibly also diversity leading to incompatibility?
  • when you present each standard in Section 2.2. a Figure similar to
    Figure 1 showing also possible mapping to equipment would make
    everything more concrete. In particular, it is not always clear for some
    of the standards, how is the support for cloud based content organised
    (YouTube/Netflix etc).
  • Figures 12... better use kBytes or Mbytes instead of bytes - makes the
    figures more readable. Why is AirPlay volume < DLNA in Fig 12a but later
    it turns out that volumes are: AirPlay > DLNA because AirPlay uses
    non-compressed format?
  • Conclusions: HTTP vs RTP - it is possible to make RTP more adaptive to
    network conditions by adding support for RTCP for feedback, some
    heuristics that for example try to adjust sending rate to available
    capacity and finally an adaptive playout algorithm. For this approach to
    work alternative coding rates most likely must be supported. OR the
    playout algorithm must be able to stop playout for a while and start
    again once there is enough content. Is this approach not considered on
    any of the forums?
