Outline • Introduction • Value-Based Utility Framework • Objectives • Results • Conclusions and Future Work Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
Multimedia Applications • Highly sensitive to end-to-end delay and delay jitter but can tolerate occasional data loss • Should be able to maximize available bandwidth and handle dynamic delay jitter and loss rate. • RTP and RTCP provide QoS support but do not guarantee QoS Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
Quality of Service (QoS) • Ability of the system to satisfy the service requirements of a network application • Requires the cooperation of many components along the end-to-end path • Many approaches: admission control, buffer management, packet classification, traffic shaping, packet scheduling Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms

Value-Based UtilityActual Range of Utility Values Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
Video Streaming • Video delivery through file download require long download times and large storage spaces • Simultaneous delivery and playback of video • Splits the video into parts, transmits the video in succession, and plays the video as these parts are received Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
MPEG Format • Uses JPEG-like compression techniques • I (intra frames) – coded independently, serve as base or reference frames • P (predicted frames) - coded based on a previously coded frame • B (bidirectional predicted frames) - coded using both previous and future coded frames Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms

Objectives • Develop adaptive video streaming mechanisms • Frame control • Admission control • Queuing disciplines • First-In, First-Out (FIFO) • Priority Queuing (PRIQ) Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms

Admission Controller • Adaptive packet remarking • Raise the priority of low expectation flows when high priority flows have higher utilities than their thresholds • Dropper • If at least one flow is unhappy, reject any new connection Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
Without Frame Controller HEFs LEFs w/ admission control LEFs w/o admission control MEFs w/ admission control Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms

Conclusions • VBU is effective in developing adaptive video streaming applications • The frame control and admission control mechanism improved the quality of video streaming Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
Future Work • Explore other queuing mechanisms which provide fairer treatment • Enhance the feedback mechanism • Extend the work to multi-hop networks Value-Based Adaptive Video Streaming Mechanisms
