  2. Outline • Introduction • Digital Video Bit Rate Adaptation • Adaptive Bit-Rate Video Multicast Options • Single-Stream Video Multicast • Replicated-Stream Video Multicast • Layered Video Multicast • Error Control • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Issues in Real-Time Video Multicast • Real-time video is generated at the source in a periodic fashion but at a variable bit rate. • Real-time video has a limited tolerance for random loss within the compressed digital video stream.

  4. Feedback Video encoder Network Smoothing buffer Digital Video Bit Rate Adaptation - CBR • Video rate adaptation with constant bit rate network:

  5. Feedback Video encoder Network Digital Video Bit Rate Adaptation - VBR • Video rate adaptation with variable bit rate network:

  6. Adaptive Bit-Rate Video Multicast Options • Single-Stream Video Multicast • The IVS Approach • Replicated-Stream Video Multicast • Destination Set Grouping (DSG) protocol • Layered Video Multicast • Receiver-Driven Layered Multicast (RLM) • Hierarchical Rate Control in LVMR

  7. Single-Stream Video Multicast: The IVS Approach • IVS (the INRIA Video-conference System) • To adjust the output rate of the video coder according to feedback information. • Real-time Transport protocol (RTP): used to detect packet loss by sequence number. • Real-time Transport control protocol (RTCP): used to send reception reports. • Feedback implosion: The network gets congested and the sender gets overwhelmed.

  8. IVS Approach

  9. Replicated-Stream Video Multicast • The design goals of the DSG (Destination Set Grouping) protocol are: • Improved fairness over a single-group feedback-controlled video multicast scheme. • The ability to operate efficiently when the number of receivers is large. • Fairness is achieved in DSG by transmitting video of differing quality and differing data rates on different multicast channels.

  10. DSG Protocol • The source keeps a small number of video streams carrying the same video. • Each stream is feedback-controlled within prescribed limits by its group of receivers. • Receivers may move among the streams as their capabilities or the network capabilities change.

  11. DSG Protocol (Cont.)

  12. Two main components of DSG • An intra-stream protocol: used by receivers listening to the same stream to adjust the data rate of the stream within its prescribed limits. • An inter-stream or stream change protocol: used by receivers to change to a higher or lower quality stream as their needs change.

  13. Intra-stream and inter-stream protocols in DSG

  14. Bandwidth Control for the DSG Protocol • Receiver • Congestion History Checking: conducted before stream switch to avoid oscillatory receiver join behavior. • Local Area Bandwidth Limiting: provides heuristics to limit the number of streams received within a certain locality. • Video source • Overall Bandwidth Limiting: provide macro control to attempt to limit the overall bandwidth of the multicast video session.

  15. Layered Video Multicast • Sender sends out video in multiple layers, and each receiver receives a subset of the video layers commensurate with its processing power and network bandwidth availability. • Video Layering can be supported by many video compression techniques. • RLM (Receiver-Driven Layered Multicast) • Hierarchical Rate Control

  16. Layered Video Multicast(cout.)

  17. RLM (Receiver-Driven Layered Multicast) • Sender sends each video layer to a separate IP multicast group and takes no active role in rate adaptation.Each receiver subscribes to a certain set of video layers by joining the corresponding IP multicast group. • The advantage of receiver-based control over sender-based control is that the burden of adaptation is moved from the sender to the receivers, resulting in enhanced system scalability.

  18. RLM (cout.) • Add layer • Drop layer • Packet loss • Shared learning

  19. Hierarchical Rate Control in LVMR • LVMR (Layered Video Multicast with Retransmissions) is another system for distributing video using layered coding over the Internet. • Improving the quality of reception with each layer by retransmitting lost packets given an upper bound on recovery time and applying an adaptive playback point scheme to help achieve more successful retransmission. • Adapting to network congestion and heterogeneity. • agent

  20. Hierarchical Rate Control • Drawbacks in RLM: • Receiver needs not know about every experiment and/or its result • Beyond a certain scope is inefficient because it consumes additional bandwidths • Hierarchical Rate Control • Using intelligent partitioning of the knowledge base Distributing relevant information to the members in and efficient way

  21. Error Control • ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) • FEC • Hybrid FEC-ARQ

  22. Error Control -- LVMR • DR( Designated Receivers ) Use the Designated Receivers (DR) at each level of tree to help with retransmission of lost packets. Reduce the recovery time for the lost packets by suing an entity closer to the receiver for retransmissions.

  23. Error Control -- LVMR

  24. Error Control – LVMR (cont.)

  25. Error Control -- LVMR • Adaptive Playback Points with Extended Control Time pi = p0 + ( i × 1 / R ) p0 = t0 + Δ + δ Δ : the maximum jitter δ : control time • Effective Retransmission Ratio = ER / L = the total number of effectively retransmitted packet the total number of packet lost

  26. Error Control – LVMR (cont.)

  27. Error Control -- STORM Provides a mechanism for each receiver to select the best possible DR at any instant of time. • Building the Recovery Structure Use an expanding ring search (ERS) to look for potential parent nodes. • Selection of Parent Nodes A member selects its parent based on the packet loss rate of the candidate parent nodes , its one-way delay from the candidate parent nodes , and its own playout buffer size. • Adapting the Structure The logical tree structure built by STORM changes over time as network conditions change.

  28. Error Control -- Client-Server Recovery Architecture • Client : repair server • Server : retransmit servers • Using RTP The client-server protocol is built on top of RTP and hence can take advantage of the sequence numbers used in the RTP header . These sequence number are used for indication missing packets in NACK.

  29. Error Control -- Client-Server Recovery Architecture (cont.)

  30. Concluding Remarks • We have surveyed the ideas and some protocols that have been proposed with the objective of providing adaptive and error-controlled video multicast over the internet.
