Proxy-assisted rate adaptation for 4K video streaming on named data networking

Abstract

© 2019 IEEE. Adaptive streaming on Named Data Networking appears to be a challenging task since the provider is unknown to the consumer. In this paper, we present an approach to efficiently adjust the streaming bit-rate by deploying IoT devices. Each NDN node is designed to send IoT devices the information of available bandwidth. The IoT devices then assist the consumers if the current network can deliver 4K video segments. The experiments using NDNx and NDN-JS show that the consumer in the proposed approach could select representation bit-rate more accurately than the traditional rate adaptation method.
