LBVC: towards low-bandwidth video chat on smartphones
Video chat apps enable users to stay in touch with their family, friends and colleagues. However, they consume a lot of bandwidth and hence can quickly use up a monthly data plan quota, which is a high-cost resource on smartphones. In this paper, we propose LBVC (Low-bandwidth Video Chat), a user-guided vibration-aware frame rate adaption framework. LBVC takes a sender-receiver cooperative approach and reduces bandwidth usage as well as alleviates video quality degradation for video chat apps on smartphones. We implement LBVC on the Android platform and evaluate its performance on a series of experiments and user study with 21 pairs of subjects. Compared to the default solution, LBVC decreases bandwidth usage by 35% and at the same time maintains good video quality without introducing extra power consumption under typical video chat scenarios.
