Context-aware multimedia quality adaptation for smart streaming

Abstract

The proliferation of the Internet technology has contributed to an increasing demand for streaming applications. The adaptation of multimedia streaming content according to context information is essential to supporting these applications. In this paper, we design a context-aware multimedia quality adaptation framework for smart streaming. The proposed framework seamlessly provides multimedia data inputs from multimedia sensors. It also controls the quality of multimedia content according to variations in the context information such as content, device, and network. The implementation results show that our framework adaptively transmits the multimedia content to various mobile devices.
