ENHANCED DISTORTION SIGNALING FOR MMT ASSETS AND ISOBMFF WITH IMPROVED MMT QOS DESCRIPTOR HAVING MULTIPLE QOE OPERATING POINTS

摘要

A method for providing media content in a computer network includes storing the media content, where the media content includes a segment having a group of frames. The method also includes determining a transmission rate for traffic to a client device. The method further includes selecting a subset of frames to drop from the group of frames based on (i) the transmission rate and (ii) a frame difference distortion (FDIFF) metric of each frame in the subset of frames. The method also includes shaping the segment by dropping the selected subset of frames from the group of frames, where the shaped segment has a lower bitrate than the segment. In addition, the method includes transmitting the shaped segment to the client device.

1. An apparatus for providing media content in a computer network, the apparatus comprising:
a memory configured to store the media content, the media content including a segment comprising a group of frames; and at least one processing device configured to:
determine a transmission rate for traffic between the apparatus and a client device;select a subset of frames to drop from the group of frames based on (i) the transmission rate and (ii) a frame difference distortion (FDIFF) metric of each frame in the subset of frames;shape the segment by dropping the selected subset of frames from the group of frames, wherein the shaped segment has a lower bitrate than the segment; andinitiate transmission of the shaped segment to the client device.
