Abstract

Video streaming on mobile devices necessitates a balance between a users' Quality of Experience (QoE) and energy consumption. Given large data sizes from video, extensive amounts of battery power are required for downloading, processing, and playing each video segment. However, video quality may suffer drastically in an effort to pursue energy efficiency. In balancing these two objectives, our research incorporates advanced energy models, processor clock rates, buffer management, and network quality aware downloading. Furthermore, multi-user systems present unique challenges in optimization given competition for network resources. Our algorithm accounts for these fluctuations and concurrent demands across both many users and many cells. Present application in LTE networks and foundations for future implementation in 5G systems are provided.
