Abstract
In this paper, we propose a rate adaptation algorithm for Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming. The proposed algorithm selects the video bit rates based on the estimated throughput and playback buffer occupancy. The performance of the algorithm is compared with that of throughput- and buffer-based adaptation algorithms. The proposed method selects high-quality video segments, while minimizing video quality changes and the risk of playback interruption. We evaluate the algorithm for single- and multi-user environments and demonstrate that it performs remarkably well under varying network conditions. Furthermore, we determine that it efficiently utilizes network throughput to achieve a high video rate; competing HTTP clients achieve equitable video rates. We also confirm that the proposed algorithm performs well regardless of the buffer size and segment duration.
