Abstract

Video streaming is an increasingly popular way to consume media content. Adaptive video streaming is an emerging delivery technology which aims to increase user QoE and maximise connection utilisation. Many implementations naively estimate bandwidth from a one-sided client perspective, without taking into account other devices in the network. This behaviour results in unfairness and could potentially lower QoE for all clients. We propose an OpenFlow-assisted QoE Fairness Framework that aims to fairly maximise the QoE of multiple competing clients in a shared network environment. By leveraging a Software Defined Networking technology, such as OpenFlow, we provide a control plane that orchestrates this functionality. The evaluation of our approach in a home networking scenario introduces user-level fairness and network stability, and illustrates the optimisation of QoE across multiple devices in a network.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • With SAND, bandwidth reservation and bitrate guidance strategies have attracted much attention in the multimedia streaming community.

    “With SAND, bandwidth reservation and bitrate guidance strategies have attracted much attention in the multimedia streaming community [7], [107] [198], [196].”
  • Some approaches, for example in [7,198], employ an optimization function that interacts with the controller to dynamically optimize QoE fairness of multiple competing clients by setting the bitrate for each streaming video in the network.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
