Abstract

For the scalability extension (SVC) of the H.264/AVC coding algorithm, video data belonging to different layers have different priority depending on their importance to the quality of the video and the decoding process. This creates new challenges but also new opportunities for video streaming systems, especially those that use the Internet infrastructure. Therefore, mechanisms of the traffic engineering used in the IP network should as far as possible take into account internal distribution of priorities inside video streams. The paper proposes the Weighted Priority Pre-marking (WPP) algorithm for color-aware SVC video streaming over a DiffServ network. This solution takes into account relative importance of Network Abstraction Layer Units (NALU) and does not require any changes in the DiffServ marker algorithm. Presented results of simulations show that the color-aware transmission system, based on the WPP packet pre-marking, can provide better perceived video quality than the standard (best effort) streaming of multi-layered SVC video as well as single-layered AVC video.
