摘要:
With the ever-increasing demand for high quality video, mobile video transmission optimization over limited wireless network capacity has been attracted extensive attention. HTTP Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) streaming is a main solution to provide better Quality of Experience (QoE) by adapting multimedia content over wireless channels real-timely. Deployment of caching in wireless network has been considered as another effective method to mitigate redundant data transmission over backhaul links and to reduce the end-to-end video transmission delay. Although some works have been done for HTTP ABR streaming caching, they only consider the users' QoE. The problem of energy-efficient cache resource allocation is largely ignored. In this paper, we focus on the problem of optimal cache resource allocation for HTTP ABR streaming in cellular networks. Our design objective is to maximize both the users' QoE and energy cost saving. We formulate the content cache management problem as two sub-optimization problems. Then, by solving the two sub-optimization problems, we can obtain the optimal set of playback rates selected by users and the MNO's caching policy for each individual content. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the performance of the proposed cache resource allocation scheme. © 2017 IEEE.
