Abstract-The consumption of multimedia services over HTTP-based delivery mechanisms has recently gained popularity due to their increased flexibility and reliability. Traditional broadcast TV channels are now offered over the Internet, in order to support Live TV for a broad range of consumer devices. Moreover, service providers can greatly benefit from offering external live content (e.g., YouTube, Hulu) in a managed way. Recently, HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) techniques have been proposed in which video clients dynamically adapt their requested video quality level based on the current network and device state. Unlike linear TV, traditional HTTP-and HAS-based video streaming services depend on unicast sessions, leading to a network traffic load proportional to the number of multimedia consumers. In this paper we propose a novel HAS-based video delivery architecture, which features intelligent multicasting and caching in order to decrease the required bandwidth considerably in a Live TV scenario. Furthermore we discuss the autonomic selection of multicasted content to support Video on Demand (VoD) sessions. Experiments were conducted on a large scale and realistic emulation environment and compared with a traditional HAS-based media delivery setup using only unicast connections.

Video streaming is now responsible for the majority of Internet traffic and is expected to keep growing over the coming years. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) [1] is an ISO/IEC MPEG multiquality layer streaming solution that is designed to enable interoperability between servers and clients of different vendors. In the DASH protocol, the client-side player is assumed to have Adaptation Logic (AL). The AL evaluates the various video representation segments available on the server and chooses the most suitable segments balancing between video quality and switching time. Note that dynamic adaptation is necessary due to the fact that the network bandwidth (e.g. cellular network) and the user's buffer are not stable and have a high influence on re-buffering. However, to date, none of the research considers multicast conditions and therefore, there is no AL specifically designed to support multicast at the client side. In this paper, we present the Harmonic Mean Adaptive Logic (HMAL) which is a buffer sensitive adaptation logic that first calculates how many segments exist in the buffer and then estimates the channel bandwidth using the harmonic mean of the previous n samples. The HMAL is designed to support multicast networks by reducing the weights of hight quality segments in the bandwidth estimation and give more weight to lower quality segments. Compared to the multicast versions of well known ALs, the simulation results showed that HMAL has the best bandwidth estimation, the lowest number of re-buffering events, and the highest buffer efficiency .
