Abstract

Video streaming requires reliable transmission and a steady network to satisfy the video users and applications QoS needs. The network service must provide and meet a certain level of performance to accommodating these QoS, specially in Smart City environments, but current Internet best-effort service does not guarantee QoS. Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach intended to separate the network control and data (forwarding) planes to get better management and optimization, which clearly enhance the planning and development of smart urban communities. In this paper, we propose a dynamic QoS algorithm over SDN to select the optimum path that meets video QoS in order to optimize the quality of experience (QoE). We differentiate the traffic based on video resolution QoE parameters to Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD). The results demonstrate that the proposed method obtained better viewing quality for an smart community environment and increases the overall network throughput.
