Energy Saving-based Adaptive Video Bitrate Algorithm
QoE, DASH
The number of mobile devices that use video streaming applications has been steadily rising year after year. The platforms responsible for providing such services face great challenges in delivering content with good Quality of Experience (QoE) for mobile users, due to the high energy consumption of multimedia streaming applications, which depends on the adaptation algorithm, on the power management techniques of wireless access technologies, and on the delivery techniques. Moreover, multiple interruptions during video display, as well as long initial delay are key factors that directly impact on the QoE. In this paper, we propose an energy saving-based adaptive video bit rate algorithm to deliver videos with high QoE and energy-efficiency for mobile users. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm compared to existing adaptive video bit rate algorithms.
