In this paper, we study the optimal transmission of a multi-quality tiled 360 virtual reality (VR) video from a multi-antenna server (e.g., access point or base station) to multiple single-antenna users in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. We minimize the total transmission power with respect to the subcarrier allocation constraints, rate allocation constraints, and successful transmission constraints, by optimizing the beamforming vector and subcarrier, transmission power and rate allocation. The formulated resource allocation problem is a challenging mixed discrete-continuous optimization problem. We obtain an asymptotically optimal solution in the case of a large antenna array, and a suboptimal solution in the general case. As far as we know, this is the first work providing optimization-based design for 360 VR video transmission in MIMO-OFDMA systems. Finally, by numerical results, we show that the proposed solutions achieve significant improvement in performance compared to the existing solutions.

In this paper, we study the optimal wireless streaming of a multi-quality tiled 360 virtual reality (VR) video from a multi-antenna server to multiple single-antenna users in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multi
ple access (OFDMA) system. In the scenario without user transcoding, we jointly optimize beamforming and subcarrier, transmission power, and rate allocation to minimize the total transmission power. This problem is a challenging mixed discretecontinuous optimization problem. We obtain a globally optimal solution for small multicast groups, an asymptotically optimal solution for a large antenna array, and a suboptimal solution for the general case. In the scenario with user transcoding, we jointly optimize the quality level selection, beamforming, and subcarrier, transmission power, and rate allocation to minimize the weighted sum of the average total transmission power and the transcoding power. This problem is a two-timescale mixed discrete-continuous optimization problem, which is even more challenging than the problem for the scenario without user transcoding. We obtain a globally optimal solution for small multicast groups, an asymptotically optimal solution for a large antenna array, and a low-complexity suboptimal solution for the general case. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the significant gains of proposed solutions over the existing solutions. significant gains of proposed solutions over the existing solutions.
We propose a new method for the visual quality assessment of 360-degree (omnidirectional) videos. The proposed method is based on computing multiple spatio-temporal objective quality features on viewports extracted from 360-degree videos. A new model
is learnt to properly combine these features into a metric that closely matches subjective quality scores. The main motivations for the proposed approach are that: 1) quality metrics computed on viewports better captures the user experience than metrics computed on the projection domain; 2) the use of viewports easily supports different projection methods being used in current 360-degree video systems; and 3) no individual objective image quality metric always performs the best for all types of visual distortions, while a learned combination of them is able to adapt to different conditions. Experimental results, based on both the largest available 360-degree videos quality dataset and a cross-dataset validation, demonstrate that the proposed metric outperforms state-of-the-art 360-degree and 2D video quality metrics.
Immersive media streaming, especially virtual reality (VR)/360-degree video streaming which is very bandwidth demanding, has become more and more popular due to the rapid growth of the multimedia and networking deployments. To better explore the usag
e of resource and achieve better quality of experience (QoE) perceived by users, this paper develops an application-layer scheme to jointly exploit the available bandwidth from the LTE and Wi-Fi networks in 360-degree video streaming. This newly proposed scheme and the corresponding solution algorithms utilize the saliency of video, prediction of users view and the status information of users to obtain an optimal association of the users with different Wi-Fi access points (APs) for maximizing the systems utility. Besides, a novel buffer strategy is proposed to mitigate the influence of short-time prediction problem for transmitting 360-degree videos in time-varying networks. The promising performance and low complexity of the proposed scheme and algorithms are validated in simulations with various 360-degree videos.
Interactive multi-view video streaming (IMVS) services permit to remotely immerse within a 3D scene. This is possible by transmitting a set of reference camera views (anchor views), which are used by the clients to freely navigate in the scene and po
ssibly synthesize additional viewpoints of interest. From a networking perspective, the big challenge in IMVS systems is to deliver to each client the best set of anchor views that maximizes the navigation quality, minimizes the view-switching delay and yet satisfies the network constraints. Integrating adaptive streaming solutions in free-viewpoint systems offers a promising solution to deploy IMVS in large and heterogeneous scenarios, as long as the multi-view video representations on the server are properly selected. We therefore propose to optimize the multi-view data at the server by minimizing the overall resource requirements, yet offering a good navigation quality to the different users. We propose a video representation set optimization for multiview adaptive streaming systems and we show that it is NP-hard. We therefore introduce the concept of multi-view navigation segment that permits to cast the video representation set selection as an integer linear programming problem with a bounded computational complexity. We then show that the proposed solution reduces the computational complexity while preserving optimality in most of the 3D scenes. We then provide simulation results for different classes of users and show the gain offered by an optimal multi-view video representation selection compared to recommended representation sets (e.g., Netflix and Apple ones) or to a baseline representation selection algorithm where the encoding parameters are decided a priori for all the views.
Recent years have seen an explosion in wireless video communication systems. Optimization in such systems is crucial - but most existing methods intended to optimize the performance of multi-user wireless video transmission are inefficient. Some work
s (e.g. Network Utility Maximization (NUM)) are myopic: they choose actions to maximize instantaneous video quality while ignoring the future impact of these actions. Such myopic solutions are known to be inferior to foresighted solutions that optimize the long-term video quality. Alternatively, foresighted solutions such as rate-distortion optimized packet scheduling focus on single-user wireless video transmission, while ignoring the resource allocation among the users. In this paper, we propose an optimal solution for performing joint foresighted resource allocation and packet scheduling among multiple users transmitting video over a shared wireless network. A key challenge in developing foresighted solutions for multiple video users is that the users decisions are coupled. To decouple the users decisions, we adopt a novel dual decomposition approach, which differs from the conventional optimization solutions such as NUM, and determines foresighted policies. Specifically, we propose an informationally-decentralized algorithm in which the network manager updates resource prices (i.e. the dual variables associated with the resource constraints), and the users make individual video packet scheduling decisions based on these prices. Because a priori knowledge of the system dynamics is almost never available at run-time, the proposed solution can learn online, concurrently with performing the foresighted optimization. Simulation results show 7 dB and 3 dB improvements in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) over myopic solutions and existing foresighted solutions, respectively.
