Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of video on demand delivery over a time-varying wireless channel. Packet scheduling and buffer management are jointly considered for scalable video transmission to adapt to the changing channel conditions. A proxy-based filtering algorithm among scalable layers is considered to maximize the decoded video quality at the receiver side while keeping a minimum playback margin. This problem is cast in the context of Markov Decision Processes which allows the design of foresighted policies maximizing some long-term reward. Experimental results illustrate the benefit of this approach compared to a shortterm policy in term of average PSNR improvement.
