“…We quantify this strategy using a weight factor and allocate the FGS rate for the th frame as (13) where is the amount of FGS data needed to achieve the same perceptual quality as the previous frame and can be determined by (14) As we can see, the allocated FGS rate is determined using the two factors and . The lowest aveMSE scheme and madMSE scheme are two special cases of this new strategy: when and , (13) becomes the lowest-aveMSE scheme; and when , (13) becomes the lowest-madMSE scheme.…”

“…A highly scalable video codec is desirable since it provides flexibility and convenience in reaching the desired visual quality and/or the desired bit rate. Recently, the fine granularity scalability (FGS) coding [10]- [12] and fine granular scalability temporal (FGST) coding [13] have been added into the MPEG-4 video coding standard. The encoder generates a base layer at a low bit rate using a large quantization step and computes the residues between the original frame and the base layer.…”

Abstract-This paper studies efficient bandwidth resource allocation for streaming multiple MPEG-4 fine granularity scalability (FGS) video programs to multiple users. We begin with a simple single-user scenario and propose a rate-control algorithm that has low delay and achieves an excellent tradeoff between the average visual distortion and the quality fluctuation. The proposed algorithm employs two weight factors for adjusting the tradeoff, and the optimal choice of these factors is derived. We then extend to the multiuser case and propose a dynamic resource allocation algorithm with low delay and low computational complexity. By exploring the variations in the scene complexity of video programs as well as dynamically and jointly distributing the available system resources among users, our proposed algorithm provides low fluctuation of quality for each user, and can support consistent or differentiated quality among all users to meet applications' needs. Experimental results show that compared to traditional look-ahead sliding-window approaches, our algorithm can achieve comparable visual quality and channel utilization at a much lower cost of delay, computation, and storage.Index Terms-Dynamic resource allocation, fine granularity scalability (FGS) coding, multiuser video communications, rate control, visual quality fluctuation.

“…Due to the wide variation of available bandwidth over short intervals in wireless sessions, there is a need for scalable video coding methods that allow streaming to flexibly adapt to changing network conditions in real-time. One such technique is MPEG-4 Fine-Granular Scalability (FGS) [1] [2], which can adapt in real-time to bandwidth variations while using the same pre-encoded stream.…”

“…This modularization helps in the customization of encoding and decoding operations as per the user connection capabilities. The layers can be divided based on spatial and temporal aspects; the fundamental characteristics and scalability of these have been previously analyzed [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41]. Here, scalability refers to the adaptability of the multimedia data service to a dynamic network environment with the aim of reducing data loss and providing best QoS.…”

Transmission Algorithm with QoS Considerations for a Sustainable MPEG Streaming Service

With the proliferation of heterogeneous networks, there is a need to provide multimedia stream services in a sustainable manner. It is especially critical to maintain the Quality of Service (QoS) standards. Existing multimedia streaming services have been studied to guarantee QoS on the receiving side. QoS has not been ensured due to the fact that the loss of streaming data to be transmitted has not been considered in network conditions. With an algorithm that considers the QoS and can reduce the overhead of the network, it will be possible to reduce the transmission error and wastage of communication network resources. In this paper, we propose a scheme that improves the reliability of multimedia transmissions by using an adaptive algorithm that switches between UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) based on the size of the data. In addition, we present a method that retransmits essential portions of the multimedia data, thus improving transmission efficiency. We simulate an MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) stream service and evaluate the performance of the proposed adaptive MPEG stream service.
