Throughput prediction for midstream bitrate adaptation in HAS clients to improve the QoE for video streaming (regression)
|
iQIYI dataset consisting of 20 million sessions covering ·3 million unique clients IPs and ·18 server IPs ·87 ISPs
|
Throughput samples
| Throughput 1∼10 periods ahead |
HMM model per cluster of similar sessions: · Number of states =6 · Number of samples =100 SVM, GBR single model for all sessions: · Number of features=6
|
MAE =7%(on normalized data) · up to 50% more accurate than SVR, GBR and HMM with no clustering ·3.2% improvement on overall QoE ·10.9% improved bitrate over MPC

Video quality adaptation in a HAS client to maximize QoE under varying network conditions (rule extraction)
|
ns-3 simulation based on TCP streaming sessions in Norway’s Telenor 3G/HSDPA mobile wireless network dataset. (public [384])
|
State: · client buffer filling level · client throughput level Reward: QoE as function of · targeted quality level · span between current and targeted video quality level · rebuffering level
|
Finite action set of N=7 possible video quality levels (sotmax selection)
|
Improvement compared to Microsoft MSS: ·9.12% higher estimated MOS ·16.65% lower standard deviation
