Abstract
Multi-view video streaming is becoming more popular, with increased potential for immersive applications. However, it poses a challenge in terms of energy consumption on the transmission devices with limited battery power due to the vast traffic volume. Previous literature has considered efficient video transmission but not exploited the full potential of joint design of 3D video coding and MIMO physical layer. In this paper, we present the first study on power consumption minimization for multi-view video streaming with a quality guarantee in 802.11 MIMO-OFDM systems. We propose an efficient algorithm to perform antenna assignment and transmission power allocation, by exploiting both the source coding characteristics of MVC and channel diversity of multiple antennas. A proof-of-concept system, namely PoM , is designed on the software-defined radio platform and is evaluated in realistic indoor environments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first practical system for energy-efficient multi-view video streaming. Experimental results show that PoM can significantly save energy in the transmission by 88% ~ 26% on average for the PSNR requirement ranging from 35dB to 45dB, and 85% ~ 12% for SSIM from 0.80 to 0.95.
