CBR vs. VBR CBR video Advantage: • Fluid flow video model • easier buffer management • easier on the network Disadvantage: • Not bandwidth efficient e.g. If average video bandwidth is 1.5Mbps, but its spike are as high as 3.5Mbps. Network must always guarantee 3.5Mbps
CBR vs. VBR VBR video Advantage: • Bandwidth efficient • Bursty Disadvantage: • Difficult to model • Buffer management required • Data rate control required
Why model VBR video? • Simulation • Analyze the stream for a particular network.
Types of video modeling • Probability density of Gamma/Pareto model ( modified bell shape) • Scene-oriented model • Markov chain model • Histogram model (0th order Markov chain)
Short Range Dependence (SRD) • Short time scale 10ms • 200 frames • Markov chain model, ARIMA process
Long Range Dependent (LRD) • Synonymous for “Hurst effect” • Also know as “persistence phenomena” Observation of an empirical record being significantly correlated to observation that are far removed in time
Hurst value: 0.5 - ~0.75 Low activity ~0.75 - ~0.9 Medium activity ~0.9 - 1 High activity Hurst parameter is related to the amount of motion involved in the sequence
Why simulate VBR video? • Calculate minimum reservation rate. R* • Amount of buffering needed in the system for it not to overflow
Why simulate VBR video? BANDWIDTH Bitrate Bandwidth utilization
Conclusion • LRD must be taken into consideration when modeling VBR video • VBR video is content dependent • Bandwidth and buffer size depends on the video mean bit rate • ATM systems: Peak rate Sustain rate Average VBR rate • Network characterization, for real-time VBR video.
