Abstract:
Video broadcasting is an efficient way to deliver video content to multiple receivers. However, due to heterogeneous channel conditions of users, it is challenging to minimize all users' video transmission distortion in MIMO broadcasting. In this paper, we investigate the channel scheduling problem, which maps Scalable Video layers to MIMO heterogenous channels to protect video layers unequally, so as to minimize overall received video distortion for all users. We formulate this problem into an integer non-linear optimization problem, which is hard to be solved. An efficient near-optimal algorithm is proposed, which is based on simulated-annealing theory. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed algorithm, and its performance is very close to the optimal results. Compared with the existing MIMO scheduling methods, the proposed scheme significantly improves the overall quality of video broadcasting in MIMO networks.
