EE384B Spring 2001
Multimedia Networking and Communications
The materials in this page were used in the EE384B class at Stanford University in
the Spring quarter of the 2000-2001 academic year by Prof. Ciro Noronha, with Manish Godara
and David Hole as the TAs.
Most of this material is still relevant as of this writing (September 2013). The numbers listed in the
Multimedia Application Requirements lecture (1B) need to be reviewed given the current state of the art.
In particular, "Analog HDTV" never really happened outside of Japan. The MPEG-4 lecture
needs an update, as well as the compression lecture (but the basics remain the same). The
resource reservation protocols (lecture 8) did not really catch on, and the material on T.120
data conferencing (lecture 16) can be skipped. I haven't really followed H.323 - not sure if
that is still relevant.
This class did not have homework assignments. The students did a quarter-long project, which replaced
the final. We had 3 quizzes during the quarter.
