HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has become the universal technology for video streaming over the Internet. Many HAS system designs aim at sharing the network bandwidth in a rate-fair manner. However, rate fairness is in general not equivalent…

HTTP/2 supersedes HTTP/1.1 to tackle the performance challenges of the modern Web. A highly anticipated feature is Server Push, enabling servers to send data without explicit client requests, thus potentially saving time. Although…

Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) has recently been widely deployed in the Internet and adopted in the industry. It, however, does not impose any adaptation logic for selecting the quality of video fragments requested by clients…

Modern web pages have complex structures comprised of up to hundreds of different resources, such as scripts and images. Server push is an HTTP/2 feature enabling servers to preemptively send resources to clients before they realize they…

HTTP-based video streaming is a key application on the Internet today, comprising the majority of Internet traffic today. Yet customers remain dissatisfied with video quality, resulting in lost revenue for content providers. Recent studies…

Today, the technology for video streaming over the Internet is converging towards a paradigm named HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS). HAS comes with two unique flavors. First, by riding on top of HTTP/TCP, it leverages the…

In conventional HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS), a video source is encoded at multiple levels of constant bitrate representations, and a client makes its representation selections according to the measured network bandwidth. While…

The introduction of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) helped reduce the consumption of resource in video delivery, but its client-based rate adaptation is unable to optimally use the available end-to-end network bandwidth. We…

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is a recently proposed standard that offers different versions of the same media content to adapt the delivery process over the Internet to dynamic bandwidth fluctuations and different user device…

In the paper, we proposed a novel algorithm dedicated to adaptive video streaming based on HTTP. The algorithm employs a hybrid play-out strategy which combines two popular approaches: an estimation of network bandwidth and a control of a…

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has demonstrated to be an emerging and promising multimedia streaming technique, owing to its capability of dealing with the variability of networks. Rate adaptation mechanism, a challenging and…

User-perceived quality-of-experience (QoE) is critical in internet video delivery systems. Extensive prior work has studied the design of client-side bitrate adaptation algorithms to maximize single-player QoE. However, multiplayer QoE…

Recently, HTTP streaming has become very popular for delivering video over the Internet. For adaptivity, a provider should generate multiple versions of a video as well as the related metadata. Various adaptation methods have been proposed…

This paper proposes and evaluates a novel algorithm for streaming video over HTTP. The problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem which is constrained by the predicted available bandwidth, chunk deadlines, available video…

Classical streaming algorithms operate under the (not always reasonable) assumption that the input stream is fixed in advance. Recently, there is a growing interest in designing robust streaming algorithms that provide provable guarantees…

Streaming high quality videos consumes significantly large amount of network resources. In this context request to service delay, network traffic, congestion and server overloading are the main parameters to be considered in video streaming…

HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) techniques are now the dominant solution for video delivery in mobile networks. Over the past few years, several HAS algorithms have been introduced in order to improve user quality-of-experience (QoE) by…

Two main trends in today's internet are of major interest for video streaming services: most content delivery platforms coincide towards using adaptive video streaming over HTTP and new network architectures allowing caching at intermediate…

MPEG has recently proposed Server and Network Assisted Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (SAND-DASH) for video streaming over the Internet. In contrast to the purely client-based video streaming in which each client makes its own…

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network needs architectural modification for smooth and fast transportation of video content. The viewer imports chunk video objects through the proxy server. The enormous growth of user requests in a small session of…
