Rate-distortion Optimized Packet Scheduling and Routing for Media Streaming with Path Diversity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider diversity for media streaming in a rate-distortion optimization framework. A sender-driven transmission scenario is investigated, where diversity is achieved by using multiple transmission paths over the network. The proposed framework enables the sender to decide at every instant which packets, if any, to transmit and over which transmission paths in order to meet a rate constraint while minimizing the end-to-end distortion. Experimental results demonstrate the benefit of exploiting packet diversity in rate-distortion optimized sender-driven streaming of packetized media.

Video streaming with diversity
Packet path diversity is one of the recent advances in networkadaptive video streaming. In this paper we first examine two specific techniques for video streaming that exploit diversity to achieve improved performance. The first technique uses a framework for rate-distortion optimized scheduling of the packet transmissions over the available network paths. The second technique exploits feedback...
متن کاملRate-distortion optimized on-demand media streaming with server diversity
This paper studies the streaming of packetized media from multiple servers to a client over a lossy network. In particular, we propose a client-driven rate-distortion optimal packet scheduling algorithm that decides which packet(s) to be requested from which server(s) at a given request opportunity. In doing so, the proposed scheduling algorithm not only attains the maximal presentation quality...
متن کاملChannel-adaptive video streaming using packet path diversity and rate-distortion optimized reference picture selection
In this paper, we present error-resilient Internet video transmission using path diversity and rate-distortion optimized reference picture selection. Under this scheme, the optimal packet dependency is determined adapting to channel characteristics and video content, to achieve a better trade-off between coding efficiency and forming independent streams to increase errorresilience. Packets are ...
متن کاملAdvances in channel-adaptive video streaming
We review recent advances in channel-adaptive video streaming. Adaptive media playout at the client can be used to reduce receiver buffering and therefore average latency, and provide a limited rate scalability. Rate-distortion optimized packet scheduling determines the best packet to send given the distortion reduction associated with sending that packet, interpacket dependencies, and the succ...
