Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) Streaming over the cellular networks has been well studied in the literature; however, existing ABR algorithms primarily focus on improving the end-users' Quality of Experience (QoE) while ignoring the resource…

In today's Internet, HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is the mainstream standard for video streaming, which switches the bitrate of the video content based on an Adaptive BitRate (ABR) algorithm. An effective Quality of Experience (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…

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for video rate adaptation in HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS), based on online learning. The proposed algorithm, named Learn2Adapt (L2A), is shown to provide a robust rate adaptation strategy which,…

The live streaming is more challenging than on-demand streaming, because the low latency is also a strong requirement in addition to the trade-off between video quality and jitters in playback. To balance several inherently conflicting…

Recently, HTTP-Based Adaptive Streaming has become the de facto standard for video streaming over the Internet. It allows the client to adapt media characteristics to varying network conditions in order to maximize Quality of Experience…

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) has emerged as an increasingly popular paradigm for video streaming [13], in which a video is segmented into many chunks delivered to users by HTTP request/response over Transmission Control…

This paper aims to improve video streaming by leveraging a simple observation: users are more sensitive to low quality in certain parts of a video than in others. For instance, rebuffering during key moments of a sports video (e.g., before…

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…

HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) is quickly becoming the dominant video delivery technique for adaptive streaming over the Internet. Still considered as its primary challenges are determining the optimal rate adaptation and improving both the…

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…

In a decade, the adaptive quality control of video streaming and the super-resolution (SR) technique have been deeply explored. As edge devices improved to have exceptional processing capability than ever before, streaming users can enhance…

Due to the soaring popularity of video applications and the consequent rise in video traffic on the Internet, technologies like HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) are crucial for delivering high Quality of Experience (QoE) to consumers. HAS…

In the 360-degree immersive video, a user only views a part of the entire raw video frame based on her viewing direction. However, today's 360-degree video players always fetch the entire panoramic view regardless of users' head movement,…

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…

Real-time video inference on edge devices like mobile phones and drones is challenging due to the high computation cost of Deep Neural Networks. We present Adaptive Model Streaming (AMS), a new approach to improving performance of efficient…

Conventional adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming systems typically rely on static bitrate ladders to optimize Quality of Experience (QoE). While operationally simple, this "one-size-fits-all" approach neglects content-specific characteristics,…

With the dramatically increasing video streaming in the total network traffic, it is critical to develop effective algorithms to promote the content delivery service of high quality. Adaptive bitrate (ABR) control is the most essential…

HTTP based adaptive video streaming has become a popular choice of streaming due to the reliable transmission and the flexibility offered to adapt to varying network conditions. However, due to rate adaptation in adaptive streaming, the…

The 360-degree video allows users to enjoy the whole scene by interactively switching viewports. However, the huge data volume of the 360-degree video limits its remote applications via network. To provide high quality of experience (QoE)…
