Abstract

This paper presents an opportunistic transmission scheme for layered video broadcasting to multiple heterogeneous devices. In contrast to conventional wireless video broadcasting system, the main ideas proposed here include: (i) exploit the quality of heterogeneous user experience (QoE) metric under wireless broadcasting scenario, with consideration of various channel state, device capability, video content urgency and the number of demanding users. (ii) formulate reliable multiple video streams broadcasting to heterogeneous devices as an aggregate maximum utility achieving problem. (iii) use opportunistic scheduling to select suitable users in each transmission interval so as to improve the broadcasting utility. (iv) use parallel-pipe structure to transmit the layered video with Fountain coding protection, which provide reliable and low-latency transmission in heterogeneous circumstance. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional methods.
