Abstract
Video streaming over cellular network has become extremely popular in 4G and will be an integral part of future cellular networks. While most modern-day video clients continually adapt quality of video streams, they neither coordinate with network elements nor among each other. Consequently, a streaming client may quickly overload the cellular network, leading to poor Quality of Experience (QoE) for users in the network. Motivated by this problem, we present D-VIEWS-a scheduling paradigm that assures video bitrate stability of adaptive video streams while ensuring better system utilization. D-VIEWS only needs to be aware of the set of video bitrates and requires no changes to streaming clients and other network functions. Through simulations, we also study the performance of proportional fairness scheduler and D-VIEWS in the presence of user arrival and departure events. © 2004-2012 IEEE.
