Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation for Video Streaming Compressed video sources show burstiness over

multiple time-scales, periods of milliseconds to several seconds.

RCBR has the key advantage that the signaling cost and the network function for renegotiations are as simple as those of the constant bit-rate (CBR) service.

the transmission cost of a group of successivesegments from Sk to Sk+n can be represented as follows.

Cost Functions for Transmission Segments

•To show the effect of short transmission segments on the cost, the cumulative cost ratio is defined as follows.

•This represents the ratio of the transmission cost for short segments to the overall cost for the whole video sequence.

Segment Merging as a Tool for Cost Minimization

We define as the segment merging operator, the new ⊕segment after merging successive segments is represented by the algorithm.

The new transmission rate should be the maximum between those two segments in order to satisfy the decoder buffer underflow constraint.

Relative Cost Flags for Segment Merging

To determine the segment merging, relative cost flags are defined for each segment. They are calculated using (7) and (8).
