Progressive pseudo-analog transmission for mobile video live streaming
Mobile video live streaming is facing great challenges in offering high quality of experience (QoE) under varying channel conditions. In this paper, we propose a progressive pseudo-analog transmission scheme in which the received video quality gracefully adapts to both SNR and bandwidth variations. Building upon the emerging pseudo-analog video transmission, the proposed scheme further adopts a greedy approach to improve the received video quality with each allocated bandwidth share. The optimal scheduling and power allocation are derived under the mean squared error (MSE) criterion. Testbed evaluations show that the proposed scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art digital and analog transmission schemes by a notable margin.
