Methods and systems facilitate efficient and effective special effects in video streaming. In one embodiment, an apparatus enables special effects by decoding video frames in accordance with a decoding process. The decoding process includes: accessing a plurality of streams of video (wherein each stream originates from a respective camera of a camera array) and decoding frames from the plurality of streams of video. A first stream from a first camera comprises: a first primary special effect predictive (SP) frame that is coded based upon a predictive (P) frame in the first stream; and a first secondary special effect predictive (SP) frame that is coded based upon a primary special effect predictive (SP) frame included in a second stream from a second camera. The method further comprises rendering a special effect using the primary and secondary special effect predictive (SP) frames.

A QoS management scheme for SDN. Network resource availability of routers and switches are maintained in a central resource database of a SDN controller. The SDN controller performs resource reservation, admission control and route calculation. When a flow is admitted or completed, the resource database is updated accordingly. Dynamic queue mapping for QoS routing in SDN is also provided. For a traffic flow with a certain traffic description and delay requirement, the queue mapping protocol dynamically assigns the flow to different priority queues at different switches along its routing path. Compared with the static mapping of a flow to a specified priority queue, the disclosed mapping is more flexible and uses network resources more efficiently.

A method for delivering packets in a wireless communications system includes determining a cause of loss for a previously transmitted packet based on a packet acknowledgement corresponding to the previously transmitted packet, the packet acknowledgement including at least one of a wireless loss indicator and a congestion warning indicator for the wireless communications system. The method also includes adjusting a transmission parameter in a packet transmission protocol according to the cause of loss, and retransmitting the previously transmitted packet.
