چکیده

Adaptive video streams, when competing behind a single bottleneck link, experience unstable video quality, underutilized links, and unfair distribution of bandwidth. Different classes of solution have been proposed. On client side, bitrate adaptation algorithms have been designed to minimize the video bitrate changes as well as attain as high bitrate as the network resources allow. On the server side, efforts have been made to optimize the efficiency in Content Delivery Network (CDN) server caching and selection. However, those approaches do not account for the problem of unfairness because they are unaware of competing video streams. Network services have been proposed to bridge this gap, but the wide spread use of HTTPS renders those solutions ineffective, even impossible. In this work, we present client-Driven Video Delivery (cDVD), an in-network service for video streaming over HTTPS that builds on software-defined principles. cDVD provides client-level APIs that enable the interaction between clients and network even in the presence of HTTPS, and uses the exchanged information to achieve stability, high bandwidth utilization, and fairness when multiple video clients share the same access link.

Improving Fairness in QoS and QoE domains for Adaptive Video Streaming

This paper presents an enhancement to a category of Adaptive Video Streaming solutions aimed at improving both Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). The specific solution used as baseline for the work is the Smooth Streaming framework from Microsoft. The presented enhancement relates to the rate adaptation scheme used, and suggests applying a stochastic or fixed/unique setti...

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming using Index-Based Learning Algorithms

We provide a unified framework using which we design scalable dynamic adaptive video streaming algorithms based on index based policies (dubbed DASIP Fig. 2) to maximize the Quality of Experience (QoE) provided to clients using video streaming services. Due to the distributed nature of our algorithm DAS-IP, it can be easily implemented in lieu of popular existing Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over...

Using buffered playtime for QoE-oriented resource management of YouTube video streaming

YouTube is the most important online platform for streaming video clips. The popularity and the continuously increasing number of users pose new challenges for Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In particular, in access networks where the transmission resources are limited and the providers are interested in reducing their operational expenditure, it is worth to efficiently optimize the network...

Game theoretical analysis of rate adaptation protocols conciliating QoS and QoE

The recent increase in the use of wireless networks for video transmission has led to the increase in the use of rate-adaptive protocols to maximize the resource utilization and increase the efficiency in the transmission. However, a number of these protocols lead to interactions among the users that are subjective in nature and affect the overall performance. In this paper, we present an in-de...

Quality of Experience of adaptive video streaming: Investigation in service parameters and subjective quality assessment methodology

The usage of HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has become widely spread in multimedia services. Because it allows the service providers to improve the network resource utilization and user's Quality of Experience (QoE). Using this technology, the video playback interruption is reduced since the network and server status in addition to capability of user device, all are taken into account by HAS cli...
