Eliminating bandwidth estimation from adaptive video streaming in wireless networks

作者：

Highlights：

• Showed wireless users may suffer from video quality oscillation and freeze.

• Discussed the behavior of the previous quality adaptation algorithm.

• Proposed a new algorithm that does not rely on bandwidth estimation.

• The proposed algorithm reduces video quality oscillation during streaming.

• The proposed algorithm minimizes the number of video freeze events.
