Cloud-Based Video Streaming for Energy- and Compute-Limited Thin Clients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Video contents, either in form of on-demand streaming (e.g., YouTube [2]) or live-streaming (e.g., Livestream [3]), need to be transcoded (i.e., converted) based on the supported video formats, resolution of the client devices. Since video transcoding is a computationally expensive operation,it is commonly carried out on the client end. Nonetheless, video transcoding consumes a lot of computational power and drains energy which is particularly problematicin the compute and energylimited devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Efficient Support of Streaming Videos through Patching Proxies in the Cloud
Multimedia streaming applications such as mobile conferencing, e-learning and mobile cinema are becoming popular for the Internet and mobile devices. Patching can enable a client to receive multicast streaming by listening to ongoing transmission of the same video clip in order to reduce retransmission from the media server. However, multimedia streams multicasting to clients must be stored in ...
متن کاملThin-Client Computing for Supporting the QoS of Streaming Media in Mobile Devices
Due to the limited resources in thin-clients on mobile devices and the large amount of computation for decoding streaming media, it is not easy to support the QoS of streaming media for thin-client on mobile environment. To solve the problems, the terminal servers would be charged for decoding the streaming media and thin-clients have a role to update only the changed areas in their screen. In ...
متن کاملCloud-based Transcoding and Adaptive Video Streaming-as-a-Service
Real-time entertainment services such as streaming video and audio are currently accounting for more than 60% of the Internet traffic, e.g., in North America’s fixed access networks during peak periods [1]. Interestingly, these services are all delivered over-thetop (OTT) of the existing networking infrastructure using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) which resulted in the standardization...
متن کاملDynamic 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...
متن کاملClassification-based Multi-client Video Transmission over Heterogeneous Networks
These Real-time video streaming over networks operates under stringent network resource constraints, with multiple video clients competing for limited network resources. In this paper, we study the problem of bandwidth allocation for video transmission over heterogeneous networks, with multiple video clients connecting to the video server simultaneously and demanding for the video services, and...
