Mobile Video Streaming Resource Management

  • Chapter
Resource Management in Mobile Computing Environments

Part of the book series: Modeling and Optimization in Science and Technologies ((MOST,volume 3))

Abstract

Video traffic dominates internet, and expected to grow by many folds. Video sessions are longer, and demands both latency and bandwidth. On mobile networks during video play user experience frequent video interruption, often rate their user experience as poor quality of experience (QoE). Mobile network have constraints such as limited radio resource, time varying bandwidth, and finite battery power on the phones. All these factors must be taken into considering as part of video service resource management. Video service providers and operators have been trying out various resource management strategies to improve QoE. Several improvements have been made over the years to make streaming experience acceptable to users. In this chapter, we will analyse popular streaming techniques, and explore resource management techniques in mobile network architecture to support video streaming.
