Server diversity in rate-distortion optimized media streaming
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider diversity for media streaming in a receiver-driven rate-distortion optimization framework. Diversity is achieved by requesting media packets from multiple servers. A framework is proposed that enables the receiver to decide at every instant which packets, if any, to request for transmission and from which servers in order to meet a rate constraint while minimizing the end-toend distortion. Experimental results demonstrate the benefit of exploiting server diversity in rate-distortion optimized receiverdriven streaming of packetized media.

Rate-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 کاملRate-Distortion Optimized Video Streaming with Rich Acknowledgments
We consider an unconventional procedure for communicating to the server the receipt of media packets for Internet video streaming. Instead of separately acknowledging each media packet as it arrives, we periodically send to the server a single acknowledgment packet, denoted rich acknowledgment, that contains information about all media packets that have arrived at the client by the time the ric...
متن کاملRate-distortion Optimized Packet Scheduling and Routing for Media Streaming with Path Diversity
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...
متن کاملRate-distortion optimized streaming from the edge of the network
This paper addresses the problem of streaming packetized media over a lossy packet network through an intermediate proxy server to a client, in a rate-distortion optimized way. The proxy, located at the junction of the backbone network and the last hop to the client, coordinates the communication between the media server and the client using hybrid receiver/senderdriven streaming in a rate-dist...

We consider the problem of streaming packetized media over the Internet from a server through a base station to a wireless client, in a rate-distortion optimized way. F or error control, we employ an incremental redundancy scheme, in which the serv ercan incrementally transmit parity packets in response to negative acknowledgements fed back from the clien t. Computing the optimal transmission p...
