A Cost-Effective Rate Control for Streaming Video for Wireless Portable Devices

Abstract

A preliminary version of this paper appeared in the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC), 2009 [15]. This version includes an improved method considering changes of buffer level (∆B(t)) and further explanations about the proposed methods. Also, this version presents implementation results on a prototype system of PDA devices.

Joint Spatial-Temporal Quality Improvement Scheme for H.264 Low Bit Rate Video Coding via Adaptive Frameskip

“…The 2D video frames and the depth map frames are discarded symmetrically with additional consideration of the playback deadline, the network bandwidth, and the inter-frame dependency within the GOP. In [21], a cost-effective rate control scheme for streaming video is proposed based on buffer status to prevent buffer fullness and emptiness.…”
