Abstract:
Video streaming services make up a large proportion of Internet traffic throughout the world. Adaptive streaming allows for dynamical adaptation of the video bitrate with varying network conditions, to guarantee the best user experience. We propose an adaptive bitrate scheme that intelligently selects the video bitrates based on the estimated throughput and buffer occupancy. We show that the proposed algorithm selects a high playback video rate and avoids unnecessary rebuffering while keeping a low frequency of video rate changes.
