Content and buffer aware scheduling for video delivery over LTE

Published: 09 December 2013 Publication History

Abstract

We propose a content and buffer aware Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink scheduler for allocating radio resources to multiple users requesting Scalable Video Coding (SVC) encoded videos from a server. The scheduler adaptively controls the video quality by assigning physical resource blocks (PRBs) to the users based on the requested video type, device capability, channel quality, and buffer state in the user equipment (UE). The scheduler maximizes the average video quality across all users for a limited number of PRBs, and can be installed in existing LTE systems without additional equipment and very limited signaling overhead.
