  Abstract

Efficient control of video streaming in wireless networks has emerged as an important issue with increasing wireless devices and video traffic. Traditional HTTP adaptive streaming techniques are tailored to specific formats, which do not effectively respond to unpredictable network environments, and despite their very similar techniques, there are incompatible problems. In response, MPEG proposed Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), which would become the standard, and is now used as an international standard. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a video quality selection algorithm based on Q-Learning in DASH. Since the main goal is to meet QoE, which is the quality users feel practically, we construct Q-Value as the reward item of Q-Learning to maximize QoE. Simulation results confirm improved performance over Microsoft"s MSS and other proposed methods in other papers, and show improved results in more complex environments than conventional methods, demonstrating the need for improvement in quality selection algorithms.
