The fifth generation (5G) wireless network technology is to be standardized by 2020, where
main goals are to improve capacity, reliability, and energy efficiency, while reducing latency …

Omnidirectional or 360° video is increasingly being used, mostly due to the latest
advancements in immersive Virtual Reality (VR) technology. However, its wide adoption is …

In this survey, we present state-of-the-art bitrate adaptation algorithms for HTTP adaptive
streaming (HAS). As a key distinction from other streaming approaches, the bitrate …

The vision of next generation 5G wireless communications lies in providing very high data
rates (typically of Gbps order), extremely low latency, manifold increase in base station …

User-perceived quality-of-experience (QoE) is critical in Internet video applications as it
impacts revenues for content providers and delivery systems. Given that there is little support …

Flare is a practical system for streaming 360-degree videos on commodity mobile devices. It
takes a viewport-adaptive approach, which fetches only portions of a panoramic scene that …

Most content providers are interested in providing good video delivery QoE for all users, not
just on average. State-of-the-art ABR algorithms like BOLA and MPC rely on parameters that …

We describe the results of a randomized controlled trial of video-streaming algorithms for
bitrate selection and network prediction. Over the last year, we have streamed 38.6 years of …

Existing ABR algorithms face a significant challenge in estimating future capacity: capacity
can vary widely over time, a phenomenon commonly observed in commercial services. In …

Bitrate adaptation is critical in ensuring good users' quality-of-experience (QoE) in Internet
video delivery system. Several efforts have argued that accurate throughput prediction can …
