Video Streaming for Highway VANET Using Scalable Video Coding

Abstract

Video is playing a more and more important role in future Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) communication. It is a feasible medium for information sharing and entertainment (infotainment) with its high capacity, consistency and influence on human beings. This paper introduces the SVC coding scheme to VANET video streaming. We propose an Optimal Scheduling Algorithm (OSA) for video streaming in highway VANET scenarios using scalable video coding (SVC). We conduct extensive simulations to evaluate the performance of OSA. Simulation results show that OSA outperforms all the competing schemes over variant density and velocity highway VANET.

Real-time Video Transmission in Multihomed Vehicular Networks

“…An et al, in [39], also explored the usage of SVC on VANETs, where a distribution of encoded layers were done in the server-level, that is, at the RSU level, and then, at the client level (on the OBUs), an optimal scheduling algorithm was in place, seeking the most efficient way for SVC layer scheduling in the location varying and data rate limited network. This allowed them to truncate the number of layers to expect at a given time, as a stream was made to a requesting vehicle.…”

“…An Optimal Scheduling Algorithm (OSA) has been proposed [47] for scalable video coding (SVC) and video streaming in highway VANETs. The extensive simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of OSA.…”
