Optimal bandwidth assignment for multiple description coded video

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE
With the penetration of broadband Internet access and advances in video compression techniques, there has been increasing interest in both stored and live video services An important but challenging problem for MDC video multicast is how to assign bandwidth to each description in order to maximize overall user satisfaction. In this paper, we investigate this issue by formulating it as an optimization problem, with the objective to maximize user bandwidth experience by taking into account the encoding inefficiency due to MDC

1.2 OBJECTIVE
We evaluate our algorithm using simulations. SAMBA achieves virtually the same optimal performance based on exhaustive search .By comparing with other assignment algorithms, SAMBA significantly improves user satisfaction. We also show that, if the coding efficiency decreases with the number of descriptions, there is an optimal description number to achieve maximal user satisfaction

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 EXISTING SYSTEMS
In media streaming, the Internets intrinsic heterogeneity continues a challenging problem. End users may have different edge bandwidth for data receiving or forwarding, especially in large-scale streaming with hundreds of thousands of users. Description coding rates have straightforward impact to the delivery performance. If a description has a high coding rate, some network paths may not have enough bandwidth to support its delivery. The loss rate of the description will be high. On the other hand, if descriptions have low coding rates, the number of descriptions and accordingly the coding cost will be high.

2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM

We propose an adaptive approach to adjust description coding rates according to the user bandwidth distribution. Our target is to provide the best streaming quality under certain network bandwidth constraint. We formulate the problem and address it by an adaptive solution. Our results show that arbitrary description rates may severely degrade system performance and an optimal solution can make significant improvement on the use of network bandwidth.
