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 …

HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) is the most recent attempt regarding video quality
adaptation. It enables cheap and easy to implement streaming technology without the need …

Many commercial video players rely on bitrate adaptation logic to adapt the bitrate in
response to changing network conditions. Past measurement studies have identified issues …

Today, the technology for video streaming over the Internet is converging towards a
paradigm named HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS), which brings two new features …

With an increasing demand for high-quality video content over the Internet, it is becoming
more likely that two or more adaptive streaming players share the same network bottleneck …

Machine learning models, particularly reinforcement learning (RL), have demonstrated great
potential in optimizing video streaming applications. However, the state-of-the-art solutions …

HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) is being adopted with increasing frequency and becoming
the de-facto standard for video streaming. However, the client-driven, on-off adaptation …

Prior work has shown that two or more adaptive streaming players can be unstable when
they compete for bandwidth. The root cause of the instability problem is that, in Steady-State …

HTTP streaming has become a cost-effective means for multimedia delivery nowadays. For
adaptivity to networks and terminals, a provider should generate multiple representations of …

Maximizing the quality of experience (QoE) for real-time video is a long-standing challenge.
Traditional video transport protocols, represented by a few deterministic rules, can hardly …
