يعد جدول الفديو الاكثر انتشارا اليوم. اضافة الى ذلك، وبسبب انتشار الوباء عالميا، كثير من الناس التزموا المنزل واعتمدوا على الخدمات الجدولية للاخبار والتعليم والتسلية. على اية حال، مستعمل تجربة (QoE (غير مقتنع باختيار محتوى الفديو بينما يتدفق في الاجهزة الذكية. ينزعج المستعملون بمسح نوعية الفيديو الغير متوقعة التي تحدث في اجهزتهم الذكية. في هذا البحث، نقترح مخطط لاختيار الفديو الهيكلي الذي يهدف الى زيادة قناعة مستعمل (QoE ). تم استعمال نظام الحلول الحسابية لاختيار محتوى الفديو لانشاء خريطة لاختيار الفديوالتي ترضي مستعمل نوعية الجدول الاكثراعتبارا.  تصنف اختيار محتوى الفديو الى مجاميع صفات الفديو. سينخفض مستوى جدول ( VCS) بالتدريج ليعتبر اقل اختيار الفديو الذي لا يقبلها المستعمل اعتمادا على نوعية الفديو. لتقييم مستوى القناعة ، استعملنا درجة الرأي الوضيع ( MOS) لقياس تكيف قبول المستعمل اتجاه نوعية جدول الفديو.  أظهرت النتائج الاخيرة بأن نظام الحلول الحسابية المقترح توضح بأن المستعمل يقتنع باختيار الفديو بواسطة تغيير صفات الفديو. Video streaming is widely available nowadays. Moreover, since the pandemic hit all across the globe, many people stayed home and used streaming services for news, education,  and entertainment. However,   when streaming in session, user Quality of Experience (QoE) is unsatisfied with the video content selection while streaming on smartphone devices. Users are often irritated by unpredictable video quality format displays on their smartphone devices. In this paper, we proposed a framework video selection scheme that targets to increase QoE user satisfaction. We used a video content selection algorithm to map the video selection that satisfies the user the most regarding streaming quality. Video Content Selection (VCS) are classified into video attributes groups. The level of VCS streaming will gradually decrease to consider the least video selection that users will not accept depending on video quality. To evaluate the satisfaction level, we used the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) to measure the adaptability of user acceptance towards video streaming quality. The final results show that the proposed algorithm shows that the user satisfies the video selection, by altering the video attributes

Non-stationary resource allocation policies for delay-constrained video streaming: Application to video over internet-of-things-enabled networks

Due to the high bandwidth requirements and stringent delay constraints of multi-user wireless video transmission applications, ensuring that all video senders have sufficient transmission opportunities to use before their delay deadlines expire is a longstanding research problem. We propose a novel solution that addresses this problem without assuming detailed packet-level knowledge, which is unavailable at resource allocation time (i.e. prior to the actual compression and transmission). Instead, we translate the transmission delay deadlines of each sender's video packets into a monotonically-decreasing weight distribution within the considered time horizon. Higher weights are assigned to the slots that have higher probability for deadline-abiding delivery. Given the sets of weights of the senders' video streams, we propose the low-complexity Delay-Aware Resource Allocation (DARA) approach to compute the optimal slot allocation policy that maximizes the deadline-abiding delivery of all senders. A unique characteristic of the DARA approach is that it yields a non-stationary slot allocation policy that depends on the allocation of previous slots. This is in contrast with all existing slot allocation policies such as round-robin or rate-adaptive round-robin policies, which are stationary because the allocation of the current slot does not depend on the allocation of previous slots. We prove that the DARA approach is optimal for weight distributions that are exponentially decreasing in time. We further implement our framework for real-time video streaming in wireless personal area networks that are gaining significant traction within the new Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm. For multiple surveillance videos encoded with H.264/AVC and streamed via the 6tisch framework that simulates the IoT-oriented IEEE 802.15.4e TSCH medium access control, our solution is shown to be the only one that ensures all video bitstreams are delivered with acceptable quality in a deadline-abiding manner. © 1983-2012 IEEE

A quality of experience approach in smartphone video selection framework for energy efficiency

Online video streaming is getting more common in the smartphone device nowadays. Since the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic hit all human across the globe in 2020, the usage of online streaming among smartphone user are getting more vital. Nevertheless, video streaming can cause the smartphone energy to drain quickly without user to realize it. Also, saving energy alone is not the most significant issues especially if with the lack of attention on the user Quality of Experience (QoE). A smartphones energy management is crucial to overcome both of these issues. Thus, a QoE Mobile Video Selection (QMVS) framework is proposed. The QMVS framework will govern the tradeoff between energy efficiency and user QoE in the smartphone device. In QMVS, video streaming will be using Dynamic Video Attribute Pre-Scheduling (DVAP) algorithm to determine the energy efficiency in smartphone devices. This process manages the video attribute such as brightness, resolution, and frame rate by turning to Video Content Selection (VCS). DVAP is handling a set of rule in the Rule Post-Pruning (RPP) method to remove an unused node in list tree of VCS. Next, QoE subjective method is used to obtain the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) of users from a survey experiment on QoE. After both experiment results (MOS and energy) are established, the linear regression technique is used to find the relationship between energy consumption and user QoE (MOS). The last process is to analyze the relationship of VCS results by comparing the DVAP to other recent video streaming applications available. Summary of experimental results demonstrate the significant reduction of 10% to 20% energy consumption along with considerable acceptance of user QoE. The VCS outcomes are essential to help users and developer deciding which suitable video streaming format that can satisfy energy consumption and user QoE

On managing quality of experience of multiple video streams in wireless networks

Managing the Quality-of-Experience (QoE) of video streaming for wireless clients is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid growth of video traffic on wireless networks. The inherent variability of the wireless channel as well as the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) of the compressed video streams make QoE management a challenging problem. In this paper, we investigate scheduling algorithms to transmit multiple video streams from a base station to mobile clients. We present an epoch-by-epoch framework to fairly allocate wireless transmission slots to streaming videos. In each epoch our scheme reduces the vulnerability to stalling by allocating slots to videos in a way that maximizes the minimum 'playout lead' across all videos. We show that the problem of allocating slots fairly is NP-complete even for a constant number of videos. We then present a fast lead-aware greedy scheduling algorithm. Our greedy algorithm is optimal when the channel quality of a user remains unchanged within an epoch. Our experimental results, based on public MPEG-4 video traces and wireless channel traces that we collected from a WiMAX test-bed, show that the lead-aware greedy approach results in a fair distribution of stalls across the clients when compared to other algorithms, while still maintaining similar or fewer average number of stalls per client
