ICME 2000, IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, July 30-August 2, 2000, New York, USA
In the context of communication networks with no QoS guarantees, we describe the problem of streaming layer encoded multimedia presentation data as a twophase decision problem. We propose a measure of presentation quality called the refined maxmin metric that yields a computationally inexpensive algorithm for determining an optimal transmission policy needed within the second decision making phase. We compare this metric with a more traditional one, called the total quality metric, which yields an optimization problem that can be solved with dynamic programming. Using a slide show presentation with a randomly generated sequence of layerencoded JPEG images, we compare the refined maxmin criterion with the total quality criterion.
