Collaborative Edge-Assisted Systems for HTTP Adaptive Video Streaming

QThe proliferation ofnovel video streaming technologies, advancement of networking paradigms, andsteadily increasing numbers of users who prefer to watch video content over theInternet rather than using classical TV have made video the predominant trafficon the Internet. However, designing cost-effective, scalable, and flexiblearchitectures that support low-latency and high-quality video streaming is still a challenge for both over-the-top (OTT) and ISP companies. In this talk,we first introduce the principles of video streaming and the existingchallenges. We then review several 5G/6G networking paradigms and explain howwe can leverage networking technologies to form collaborative network-assistedvideo streaming systems for improving users' quality of experience (QoE) andnetwork utilization.
