Adaptability between ABR algorithms in DASH video streaming and HTTP/3 over QUIC
Sindhu Chellappa, Radim Bartoš · 2022
This paper contains the research proposal of Sindhu Chellappa that was presented at the MMSys 2022 doctoral symposium. With the ever growing demand for media consumption, HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is the de-facto standard for adaptive bit rate streaming. Several efforts have been made to increase the Quality of Experience (QoE) for the users by proposing Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) streaming algorithms to choose the best bitrate for the current network condition. With HAS, the segments are downloaded through Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) which operates over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). HTTP/3 is the recent standardized application protocol which operates over Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC). When the protocols changes, it is necessary to revisit the QoE of the ABR algorithms to select the suitable ABR algorithm best suited for the protocol. We present four research questions to address the adaptability between the ABR algorithms and the underlying protocols.
