ABSTRACT
The increasing demand for high-quality video streaming, coupled with the necessity for low-latency delivery, presents significant challenges in today's multimedia landscape. In response to these challenges, this research explores the optimization of adaptive video streaming by integrating 5G terrestrial broadcasting with over-the-top (OTT) streaming methods. A comprehensive integration of forward error correction (FEC), temporal layer injection (TLI), and broadcast techniques enhance the robustness and efficiency of content delivery over broadcast networks and reduce unicast bandwidth to zero in low loss environments. Multiple strategies are compared through an extensive emulation setup for reducing latency in the end-to-end video delivery chain to sub 3-second live latency, demonstrating the effectiveness of a hybrid unicast-broadcast approach in achieving low-latency while maintaining high-quality video streaming performance with significantly reduced bandwidth. For 62.99% of viewers, unicast bandwidth can be reduced to as low as zero when broadcasting the top 3 TV channels.
