IntroductionO Mobile video service is getting popular
O Due to the development of mobile device
O Minimizing video bitrate is importantO Wireless networks prefer low bitrate to
adapt to different bandwidth conditionsO Users prefer low bitrate as most network
providers normally charge for data usageO Video providers need to save costs
associated with serving the content

O Low video bitrate => poor video quality
O Fortunately……O Nonlinear relationship between
perceived quality and video bitrate

Criteria of acceptability quality
O Users have different assessment criteria for different content typesO Movie – high quality required (HD quality)O News – audio quality and sync.O Music – audio qualityO Animation – fewer requirement O Sport – higher quality needed when small objects
appear
O Users’ preference leads to different result on the same content typeO Ex: sport and news
![Page 39: Saving Bitrate vs. Users: Where is the Break-Even Point in Mobile Video Quality?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070423/568166c0550346895ddac8f9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Discussion and Conclusion
O Users’ profile mattersO The result is different from previous worksO Exact required bitrate still depends on
individual video, here only gives a estimated range
O Platform dependency as well as video codecs
O Fixed vs. adjustable service?O Prediction model and optimal delivery
strategy
