Optimal adaptive streaming of a scalable multi-view video via rate splitting and SIC

Abstract

This letter considers optimal adaptive wireless streaming of a scalable coding-based multi-view video (MVV) to multiple users. To improve quality of service (QoS), we propose a transceiver design based on rate splitting and successive interference cancellation (SIC) and optimize the design parameters to maximize the sum encoding rate of the enhanced versions of the requested views. We obtain a KKT point of the non-convex problem using complementary geometric programming (CGP) and successive convex approximation (SCA).
