Abstract
During the last decade, multimedia streaming has experienced explosive growth. Adaptive video has become a necessity for meeting stringent QoS requirements in non-guaranteed IP networks. Since the user is the final point in the multimedia distribution chain, transmission rate must be adjusted to match the requirements set, the end-to-end effective bandwidth, and the capabilities of the terminals used to access the services offered. In addition, the concept of pervasive and ubiquitous computing has increased the need for rate adaptation so as to fulfill the restrictions posed by mobile terminals (e.g., phones and handhelds). The ultimate goal is the optimization of the subjective audio-visual quality.
