Abstract
- Combining flatness-based control, model-free control and algebraic estimation techniques permits to trivialize several key issues in the adaptive bitrate (ABR) setting, now the dominant industry approach in video streaming: 1) A straightforward open-loop strategy for the bitrate and the buffer level; 2) closing the loop permits not only to take into account unavoidable mismatches and disturbances, like Internet fluctuations, but also the inherently discrete nature of the bitrate; 3) an easily implementable closed-form estimate for a bandwidth allows to handle severe variations of the channel capacity. Several computer experiments and metrics for evaluating the Quality of Experience (QoE) are displayed and discussed.
