Dynamic bandwidth allocation for an MPEG-2 multiencoder video system
Luís Teixeira, Maria Teresa Andrade · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1996
An efficient algorithm for dynamically multiplexing MPEG2 encoded video sources is presented. Sources are grouped into classes regarding different combined levels of spatial detail and amount of movement. Simulations were performed using different associations of sources belonging to distinct classes, different bit rates and GOP structures. The implications associated to a real implementation are analyzed and a modular architecture is proposed. Simulation results are presented and discussed, showing that sequences with higher spatial detail and motion are those which exhibit the higher quality improvements. These results are almost not affected by the non alignment, at GOP level, between video sequences.
