| description | Multimedia video streaming, identified as the dominant internet data consumption service, brings forth challenges in consistently delivering optimal video quality. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), while prevalent, often encounters buffering problems, causing video pauses due to empty video buffers. This study introduces the Adaptive Scalable Video Streaming (ASViS) protocol as a solution. ASViS incorporates scalable video coding, a flow-controlled User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and deadline-based criteria. A model is developed to predict the behavior of ASViS across varying network conditions. Additionally, the effects of diverse parameters on ASViS performance are evaluated. ASViS adjusts data flow similarly to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), based on bandwidth availability. Data are designed to be discarded by ASViS according to video frame deadlines, preventing outdated information transmission. Compliance with RFC 8085 ensures the internet is not overwhelmed. With its scalability feature, ASViS achieves the highest possible image quality per frame, aligning with Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and the available data layers. The introduction of ASViS offers a promising approach to address the challenges faced by DASH, potentially providing more consistent and higher-quality video streaming. |
