Oscillation Compensating Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP
2 likes1,337 views
This document discusses oscillation compensation in adaptive streaming over HTTP. It presents a buffer-based adaptation algorithm that detects quality switching oscillations between clients. When oscillations are detected, the algorithm compensates by restricting quality level changes based on the fill state of the playback buffer and an oscillation factor. Experimental results show the approach reduces quality switching variance and improves streaming performance compared to a traditional throughput-based adaptation approach. Future work will evaluate the method at larger scales.
