基于LTE的自适应视频流传输

Adaptive Video Streaming over LTE Unlicensed

Apostolos Galanopoulos, Antonios Argyriou

摘要:

在本文中,我们考虑的LTE-A网络,利用授权辅助接入(LAA),这是一个实例的LTE免授权的自适应视频流的问题。利用LTE,LTE-A网络的未授权用户通过载波聚合(CA)有机会从未授权和授权载波接入无线电资源。我们的目标是为每个LTE-A用户选择尽可能高的视频质量,同时还尝试及时传输视频数据以供回放,从而避免导致观看体验恶化的缓冲区欠载事件。然而,无线信道的不可预测性,以及其他未授权用户对未授权载波的未知利用,导致具有挑战性的优化问题。首先,我们专注于开发一个准确的系统模型的自适应流媒体系统,LTE-A,和随机可用的未授权资源。然后,在两个阶段中解决公式化的问题:首先,我们为每个用户计算按比例公平的视频质量,其次,我们在与LTE-A兼容的较短时间尺度上执行资源分配。我们比较我们的框架与典型的比例公平调度器,以及一个国家的最先进的LTE-A自适应视频流框架的平均段质量和缓冲区运行事件的数量。实验结果表明,所提出的质量选择和调度算法不仅在大多数情况下实现了更高的视频段质量,而且最大限度地减少了由于缓冲区欠载事件而导致的视频冻结的数量和持续时间。

英文摘要:

In this paper we consider the problem of adaptive video streaming over an LTE-A network that utilizes Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) which is an instance of LTE Unlicensed. With LTE Unlicensed users of the LTE-A network opportunisti- cally access radio resources from unlicensed and licensed carriers through Carrier Aggregation (CA). Our objective is to select the highest possible video quality for each LTE-A user while also try to deliver video data in time for playback, and thus avoid buffer under-run events that deteriorate viewing experience. However, the unpredictable nature of the wireless channel, as well as the unknown utilization of the unlicensed carrier by other unlicensed users, result in a challenging optimization problem. We first focus on developing an accurate system model of the adaptive streaming system, LTE-A, and the stochastic availability of unlicensed resources. Then, the formulated problem is solved in two stages: First, we calculate a proportionally fair video quality for each user, and second we execute resource allocation on a shorter time scale compatible with LTE-A. We compare our framework with the typical proportional fair scheduler as well as a state-of-the-art LTE-A adaptive video streaming framework in terms of average segment quality and number of buffer under- run events. Results show that the proposed quality selection and scheduling algorithms, not only achieve higher video segment quality in most cases, but also minimize the amount and duration of video freezes as a result of buffer under-run events.
