Bridging the Gap: Towards an Adaptive Video Streaming Approach Supporting Transitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Video streaming over the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. Existing streaming systems range from traditional client/server to peer-to-peer-based approaches. However, no single streaming mechanism fits all possible video streaming scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel adaptive video streaming approach supporting transitions between different mechanisms in order to provide a stable Quality of Service to streaming clients. Two stages of adaptation are identified and challenges of different transitions are discussed.

Representation Switch Smoothing for Adaptive HTTP Streaming
When an adaptive media streaming system has to switch from one representation of the content to another, the switch causes viewer distraction. We introduce the concept of representation switch smoothing for alleviating the distraction and improving the overall quality of experience. As adaptive HTTP streaming systems typically deploy video buffers on the client side, the adaptation decision is ...

In ubiquitous environments, the exchange of different types of real-time video data can be extremely useful under various circumstances, particularly during disasters. For instance, in the wake of a catastrophe, it would be extremely important to assure real-time transmission of video data of escape routes, nearby regions of safety, and the locations of survivors. To assure real-time transmissi...
متن کاملModeling live adaptive streaming over HTTP
Video streaming methods have evolved greatly over the years. Today, the most prevalent technique to stream live and video on-demand is the adaptive HTTP streaming and is used by several commercial vendors. In this paper, we pesent an approximate analytic model for live adaptive streaming over HTTP. Using this model, we propose a new rate control algorithm that makes the rate transitions less fr...
