Delay-Power-Rate-Distortion Optimization of Video Representations for Dynamic Adaptive Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni, Chenglin Li

Dynamic adaptive streaming addresses user heterogeneity by providing multiple encoded representations at different rates and/or resolutions for the same video content. For delay-sensitive applications, such as live streaming, there is however a stringent r ...
