Abstract
In recent years, smartphone users are interested in large volumes to view live videos and sharing video resources over social media (e.g., Youtube, Netflix). The continuous streaming of video in mobile devices faces many challenges in network parameters namely bandwidth estimation, congestion window, throughput, delay, and transcoding is a challenging and time-consuming task. To perform these resource-intensive tasks via mobile is complicated, and hence, the cloud is integrated with smartphones to provide Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). To resolve the issue, we propose a novel framework called delay aware bandwidth estimation and intelligent video transcoder in mobile cloud. In this paper, we introduced four techniques, namely, Markov Mobile Bandwidth Cloud Estimation (MMBCE), Cloud Dynamic Congestion Window (CDCW), Queue-based Video Processing for Cloud Server (QVPS), and Intelligent Video Transcoding for selecting Server (IVTS). To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we implemented a testbed using the two mobile configurations and the public cloud server Amazon Web Server (AWS). The study and results in a real environment demonstrate that our proposed framework can improve the QoS requirements and outperforms the existing algorithms. Firstly, MMBCE utilizes the well-known Markov Decision Process (MDP) model to estimate the best bandwidth of mobile using reward function. MMBCE improves the performance of 50% PDR compared with other algorithms. CDCW fits the congestion window and reduces packet loss dynamically. CDCW produces 40% more goodput with minimal PLR. Next, in QVPS, the M/M/S queueing model is processed to reduce the video processing delay and calculates the total service time. Finally, IVTS applies the M/G/N model and reduces 6% utilization of transcoding workload, by intelligently selecting the minimum workload of the transcoding server. The IVTS takes less time in slow and fast mode. The performance analysis and experimental evaluation show that the queueing model reduces the delay by 0.2 ms and the server’s utilization by 20%. Hence, in this work, the cloud minimizes delay effectively to deliver a good quality of video streaming on mobile.
