Attempting to cope with fluctuations of network conditions in terms of available bandwidth, latency and packet loss, and to deliver the highest quality of video (and audio) content to users, research on adaptive video streaming has attracted intense efforts from the research community and huge investments from technology giants. How successful these efforts and investments are, is a question that needs precise measurements of the results of those technological advancements. HTTP-based Adaptive Streaming (HAS) algorithms, which seek to improve video streaming over the Internet, introduce video bitrate adaptivity in a way that is scalable and efficient.
However, how each HAS implementation takes into account the wide spectrum of variables and configuration options, brings a high complexity to the task of measuring the results and visualizing the statistics of the performance and quality of experience.

Omnidirectional video (ODV) streaming applica- tions are becoming increasingly popular. They enable a highly immersive experience as the user can freely choose her/his field of view within the 360-degree environment. Current deployments are fairly simple but viewport-agnostic which inevitably results in high storage/bandwidth requirements and low Quality of Experience (QoE). A promising solution is referred to as tile- based streaming which allows to have higher quality within the user’s viewport while quality outside the user’s viewport could be lower. However, empirical QoE assessment studies in this domain are still rare. Thus, this paper investigates the impact of different tile-based streaming approaches and configurations on the QoE of ODV. We present the results of a lab-based subjective evaluation in which participants evaluated 8K omnidirectional video QoE as influenced by different (i) tile-based streaming approaches (full vs. partial delivery), (ii) content types (static vs. moving camera), and (iii) tile encoding quality levels determined by different quantization parameters. Our experimental setup is character- ized by high reproducibility since relevant media delivery aspects (including the user’s head movements and dynamic tile quality adaptation) are already rendered into the respective processed video sequences. Additionally, we performed a complementary objective evaluation of the different test sequences focusing on bandwidth efficiency and objective quality metrics. The results are presented in this paper and discussed in detail which confirm that tile-based streaming of ODV improves visual quality while reducing bandwidth requirements.Tile-based Streaming of 8K Omnidirectional Video: Subjective and Objective Qo...

Cognitive radio networks by utilizing the spectrum holes in licensed frequency bands are able to efficiently manage the radio spectrum. A significant improvement in spectrum use can be achieved by giving secondary users access to these spectrum holes. Predicting spectrum holes can save significant energy that is consumed to detect spectrum holes. This is because the secondary users can only select the channels that are predicted to be idle channels. However, collisions can occur either between a primary user and secondary users or among the secondary users themselves. This paper introduces a centralized channel allocation algorithm in a scenario with multiple secondary users to control both primary and secondary collisions. The proposed allocation algorithm, which uses a channel status predictor, provides a good performance with fairness among the secondary users while they have the minimal interference with the primary user. The simulation results show that the probability of a wrong prediction of an idle channel state in a multi-channel system is less than 0.9%. In addition, the channel state prediction saves the sensing energy up to 73%, and the utilization of the spectrum can be improved more than 77%.A Channel Allocation Algorithm for Cognitive Radio Users Based on Channel Sta...

Video streaming is one of the top traffic contributors in the Internet and a frequent research subject. It is expected that streaming traffic will grow 4-fold for video globally and 9-fold for mobile video between 2017 and 2022. In this paper, we present an automatized measurement framework for evaluating video streaming QoE in operational broadband networks, using headless streaming with a Docker-based client, and a server-side implementation allowing for the use of multiple video players and adaptation algorithms. Our framework allows for integration with the MONROE testbed and Bitmovin Analytics, which bring on the possibility to conduct large-scale measurements in different networks, including mobility scenarios, and monitor different parameters in the application, transport, network, and physical layers in real-time.

HTTP Adaptive Streaming(HAS) is the most common approach for delivering video content over the Internet. Therequirement to encode the same content at different quality levels(i.e., representations) in HAS is a challenging problem for content providers. Fast multirate encoding approaches try to accelerate this process by reusing information from previously encoded representations. In this paper, we propose to use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to speed up the encoding of multiple representations with a specific focus on parallel encoding. In parallel encoding, the overall time-complexity is limited to the maximum time-complexity of one of the representations that are encoded in parallel. Therefore, instead of reducing the time-complexity for all representations, the highest time-complexities are reduced. Experimental results show that FaME-ML achieves significant time-complexity savings in parallel encoding scenarios(41%in average) with a slight increase in bitrate and quality degradation compared to the HEVC reference software.FaME-ML: Fast Multirate Encoding for HTTP Adaptive Streaming Using Machine Le...

HTTP Adaptive Streaming of video content is becoming an integral part of the Internet and accounts for the majority of today’s traffic. Although Internet bandwidth is constantly increasing, video compression technology plays an important role and the major challenge is to select and set up multiple video codecs, each with hundreds of transcoding parameters. Additionally, the transcoding speed depends directly on the selected transcoding parameters and the infrastructure used. Predicting transcoding time for multiple transcoding parameters with different codecs and processing units is a challenging task, as it depends on many factors. This paper provides a novel and considerably fast method for transcoding time prediction using video content classification and neural network prediction. Our artificial neural network (ANN) model predicts the transcoding times of video segments for state-of-the-art video codecs based on transcoding parameters and content complexity. We evaluated our method for two video codecs/implementations (AVC/x264 and HEVC/x265) as part of large-scale HTTP Adaptive Streaming services. The ANN model of our method is able to predict the transcoding time by minimizing the mean absolute error (MAE) to 1.37 and 2.67 for x264 and x265 codecs, respectively. For x264, this is an improvement of 22% compared to the state of the art.ComplexCTTP: Complexity Class Based Transcoding Time Prediction for Video Seq...

Modern-age technology enables us to consume multimedia for enjoyment and as a social experience. The traditional way to consume multimedia together (e.g., with family or friends in the living room) is being superseded by a location-independent scenario where geographically distributed users consume the same content while having a real-time communication channel among each other. Inter-Destination Multimedia Synchronization (IDMS) is the tool of choice in order to enable users a high-quality multimedia experience. In this paper, we investigate the influence of asynchronism when consuming multimedia content together while being geographically distributed. In particular, we adopt the concept of human computation and developed a reaction game which we used to conduct a crowdsourced subjective quality assessment in order to evaluate a threshold for multimedia synchronization within an IDMS scenario. Our results show a significant decrease in overall Quality of Experience (QOE) at an asynchronism level of 750ms. At the same time, we were able to show that asynchronism at a level of 400ms does not have significant differences regarding the QoE when compared to the synchronous reference case.Is One Second Enough?

In computing and communications systems, quality is often difficult to define. Attempts to understand this concept date back to Aristotle, who included quality as one of his 10 categories of human apprehension. ISO standard 8402:1986 defines quality as “the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service that bears its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs,” which embraces objective as well as subjective parameters. In practice, however, quality could be compared to the elephant in the famous Indian parable about a group of blind men who each feels a different part of the animal and, thus, they disagree as to what it looks like....Quality of Experience in Multimedia Systems and Services: A Journey Towards t...

In HTTP adaptive live streaming applications, video segments are encoded at a fixed set of bitrate-resolution pairs known as bitrate ladder. Live encoders use the fastest available encoding configuration, referred to as preset, to ensure the minimum possible latency in video encoding. However, an optimized preset and optimized number of CPU threads for each encoding instance may result in (i) increased quality and (ii) efficient CPU utilization while encoding. For low latency live encoders, the encoding speed is expected to be more than or equal to the video framerate. To this light, this paper introduces a Just Noticeable Difference (JND)-Aware Low latency Encoding Scheme (JALE), which uses random forest-based models to jointly determine the optimized encoder preset and thread count for each representation, based on video complexity features, the target encoding speed, the total number of available CPU threads, and the target encoder. Experimental results show that, on average, JALE yield a quality improvement of 1.32 dB PSNR and 5.38 VMAF points with the same bitrate, compared to the fastest preset encoding of the HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) bitrate ladder using x265 HEVC open-source encoder with eight CPU threads used for each representation. These enhancements are achieved while maintaining the desired encoding speed. Furthermore, on average, JALE results in an overall storage reduction of 72.70%, a reduction in the total number of CPU threads used by 63.83%, and a 37.87% reduction in the overall encoding time, considering a JND of six VMAF points.Optimal Quality and Efficiency in Adaptive Live Streaming with JND-Aware Low ...

Quality of Experience (QoE) and QoE models are of an increasing importance to networked systems. The traditional QoE modeling for video streaming applications builds a one-size-fits-all QoE model that underserves atypical viewers who perceive QoE differently. To address the problem of atypical viewers, this paper proposes iQoE (individualized QoE), a method that employs explicit, expressible, and actionable feedback from a viewer to construct a personalized QoE model for this viewer. The iterative iQoE design exercises active learning and combines a novel sampler with a modeler. The chief emphasis of our paper is on making iQoE sample-efficient and accurate.
By leveraging the Microworkers crowdsourcing platform, we conduct studies with 120 subjects who provide 14,400 individual scores. According to the subjective studies, a session of about 22 minutes empowers a viewer to construct a personalized QoE model that, compared to the best of the 10 baseline models, delivers the average accuracy improvement of at least 42% for all viewers and at least 85% for the atypical viewers. The large-scale simulations based on a new technique of synthetic profiling expand the evaluation scope by exploring iQoE design choices, parameter sensitivity, and generalizability.Empowerment of Atypical Viewers via Low-Effort Personalized Modeling of Video...

HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) methods divide a video into smaller segments, encoded at multiple pre-defined bitrates to construct a bitrate ladder. Bitrate ladders are usually optimized per title over several dimensions, such as bitrate, resolution, and framerate. This paper adds a new dimension to the bitrate ladder by considering the energy consumption of the encoding process. Video encoders often have multiple pre-defined presets to balance the trade-off between encoding time, energy consumption, and compression efficiency. Faster presets disable certain coding tools defined by the codec to reduce the encoding time at the cost of reduced compression efficiency. Firstly, this paper evaluates the energy consumption and compression efficiency of different x265 presets for 500 video sequences. Secondly, optimized presets are selected for various representations in a bitrate ladder based on the results to guarantee a minimal drop in video quality while saving energy. Finally, a new per-title model, which optimizes the trade-off between compression efficiency and energy consumption, is proposed. The experimental results show that decreasing the VMAF score by 0.15 and 0.39 while choosing an optimized preset results in encoding energy savings of 70% and 83%, respectively.Optimizing Video Streaming for Sustainability and Quality: The Role of Prese...

With the emergence of multiple modern video codecs, streaming service providers are forced to encode, store, and transmit bitrate ladders of multiple codecs separately, consequently suffering from additional energy costs for encoding, storage, and transmission.
To tackle this issue, we introduce an online energy-efficient Multi-Codec Bitrate ladder Estimation scheme (MCBE) for adaptive video streaming applications. In MCBE, quality representations within the bitrate ladder of new-generation codecs (e.g., HEVC, AV1) that lie below the predicted rate-distortion curve of the AVC codec are removed. Moreover, perceptual redundancy between representations of the bitrate ladders of the considered codecs is also minimized based on a Just Noticeable Difference (JND) threshold. Therefore, random forest-based models predict the VMAF of bitrate ladder representations of each codec. In a live streaming session where all clients support the decoding of AVC, HEVC, and AV1, MCBE achieves impressive results, reducing cumulative encoding energy by 56.45%, storage energy usage by 94.99%, and transmission energy usage by 77.61% (considering a JND of six VMAF points). These energy reductions are in comparison to a baseline bitrate ladder encoding based on current industry practice.Energy-Efficient Multi-Codec Bitrate-Ladder Estimation for Adaptive Video Str...

This paper presents UtilML, a novel approach for tackling resource utilization prediction challenges in the computing continuum. UtilML leverages Long-Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks, a machine learning technique, to forecast resource utilization accurately. The effectiveness of UtilML is demonstrated through its evaluation of data extracted from a real GPU cluster in a computing continuum infrastructure comprising more than 1800 computing devices. To assess the performance of UtilML, we compared it with two related approaches that utilize a Baseline-LSTM model. Furthermore, we analyzed the LSTM results against User-Predicted values provided by GPU cluster owners for task deployment with estimated allocation values. The results indicate that UtilML outperformed user predictions by 2% to 27% for CPU utilization prediction. For memory prediction, UtilML variants excelled, showing improvements of 17% to 20% compared to user predictions.Machine Learning Based Resource Utilization Prediction in the Computing Conti...

Multimedia applications, mainly video streaming services, are currently the dominant source of network load worldwide. In recent Video-on-Demand (VoD) and live video streaming services, traditional streaming delivery techniques have been replaced by adaptive solutions based on the HTTP protocol. Current trends toward high-resolution (e.g., 8K) and/or low- latency VoD and live video streaming pose new challenges to end-to-end (E2E) bandwidth demand and have stringent delay requirements. To do this, video providers typically rely on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to ensure that they provide scalable video streaming services. To support future streaming scenarios involving millions of users, it is necessary to increase the CDNs’ efficiency. It is widely agreed that these requirements may be satisfied by adopting emerging networking techniques to present Network-Assisted Video Streaming (NAVS) methods. Motivated by this, this thesis goes one step beyond traditional pure client- based HAS algorithms by incorporating (an) in-network component(s) with a broader view of the network to present completely transparent NAVS solutions for HAS clients.Network-Assisted Delivery of Adaptive Video Streaming Services through CDN, S...

The considerable surge in energy consumption within data centers can be attributed to the exponential rise in demand for complex computing workflows and storage resources. Video streaming applications are both compute and storage-intensive and account for the majority of today’s internet services. In this work, we designed a video encoding application consisting of codec, bitrate, and resolution set for encoding a video segment. Then, we propose VE-Match, a matching-based method to schedule video encoding applications on both Cloud and Edge resources to optimize costs and energy consumption. Evaluation results on a real computing testbed federated between Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 Cloud instances and the Alpen-Adria University (AAU) Edge server reveal that VE-Match achieves lower costs by 17%-78% in the cost-optimized scenarios compared to the energy-optimized and tradeoff between cost and energy. Moreover, VE-Match improves the video encoding energy consumption by 38%-45% and gCO2 emission by up to 80 % in the energy-optimized scenarios compared to the cost-optimized and tradeoff between cost and energy.VE-Match: Video Encoding Matching-based Model for Cloud and Edge Computing In...

The rapid growth of video streaming usage is a significant source of energy consumption, driven by improved internet connections and service offerings, the quick development of video entertainment, the deployment of Ultra High-Definition, Virtual and Augmented Reality, as well as an increasing number of video surveillance and IoT applications. To address this challenge, it is essential to understand the various components involved in energy consumption during video streaming, ranging from video encoding to decoding and displaying the video on the end user’s screen. Then, it is critical to measure energy consumption for each component accurately and conduct an in-depth analysis to develop energy-efficient strategies that optimize video streaming [1, 2, 3]. These components are classified into three categories [4]: (i) data centers, which include encoding, packaging, and storage on cloud data centers; (ii) networks, which include core network and access networks; and (iii) end-user devices which involve decoding, players, hardware, etc.
In addition to identifying the primary components of video streaming that affect energy consumption, it is important to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the entire video streaming. It is also essential to balance energy optimization and service quality to ensure that energyefficient strategies are implemented without sacrificing the quality of video streaming services.
This talk aims to provide insights into the components of video streaming that contribute to energy consumption and highlight the challenges associated with measuring their energy usage. I will also introduce the tools that can be used for energy measurements for those components and the possible and associated strategies that lie within energy efficiency. By accurately measuring energy consumption, digital media companies can effectively monitor and control their energy usage, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved sustainability.Energy Consumption in Video Streaming: Components, Measurements, and Strategies

AVSTP2P: Welcome Message from the Chairs
- 1. iii Welcome Message from the Chairs It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2010 ACM Workshop on Advanced Video Streaming Techniques for Peer-to-Peer Networks and Social Networking, held within ACM Multimedia 2010, in Florence, Italy. The call for papers attracted 30 submissions (two redirected from the main conference) from Australia, Asia, Canada, Europe, and the United States of America. The program committee accepted 15 papers covering a variety of topics, all in the context of P2P: Multi-source video distribution; modeling end-to-end delay; piece-picking for layered/scalable content; prefetching and upload strategies; QoE improvements for multiple description video transmission; cache optimization; network coding improving packet jitter; analytical approach to model adaptive video streaming; access control to BitTorrent swarms; group communication with layer-aware FEC; streaming with LT codes; design and evaluation of an optimized overlay topology; APIs and library; Furthermore, George Wright (Head of Prototyping, BBC Research and Development) provides an invited talk entitled “Audio/visual content and metadata delivered over the open Internet using P2P-Next: some experiences from a broadcaster's perspective”. As workshop chairs, we would like to thank all people who have contributed to the success of this workshop: the authors, the invited speaker, the program committee members and all reviewers, the best paper award committee, and the members of the organizing committee of ACM Multimedia 2010. The support of the workshop sponsors is also greatly acknowledged, in particular RADVISION (http://www.radvision.com/) for sponsoring the best paper award. We sincerely hope that the carefully crafted technical program we have arranged for, the scientific discussions that the workshop will hopefully stimulate, and your additional activities in Florence, will make your participation worthwhile and a memorable experience.
