Cross that boundary: Investigating the feasibility of cross-layer information sharing for enhancing ABR decision logic over QUIC Hasselt University
With HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS), client-side Adaptive Bi-trate (ABR) algorithms drive the (quality-variant) scheduling and downloading of media segments. These ABR algorithms are implemented in the application layer and can therefore base their logic only on relatively coarse and/or inaccurate application-layer met-rics. The recently standardized QUIC transport protocol has many userspace implementations, which paves the way for cross-layer ...
