Steven A. Benno, Andre Beck, Jairo O. Esteban, Les J. Wu, Ray Miller · 2013
In this paper, we describe WiLo, a Rate Determination Algorithm (RDA) for HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) applications. We demonstrate that WiLo delivers stable video output and avoids buffer starvation, even in highly dynamic wireless networks where existing algorithms often struggle. We also show WiLo to be effective with very small buffers, making it useful for live streaming applications where delay is a concern.
