* Low delay channel coding and error protection
* Voice and video over IP and wireless
* Network voice and video quality monitoring and management
* Priority-based QoS control and scheduling for real time applications
* Network utility maximization under bandwidth constraints
* Ad hoc and infrastructure-based overlay network communication
* Real time, low-delay P2P communication
* Channel coding, packetization, synchronization, buffering
* Cross-layer optimization for telecommunications
* Power aware media transmission

PV 2009 also organizes the following special session:

* Congestion control and FEC
* Peer-to-peer streaming
