用AI动态调度无人机网络中的全景视频,提升用户观看体验。

ASL360: AI-Enabled Adaptive Streaming of Layered 360$^\circ$ Video over UAV-assisted Wireless Networks

  • 基于强化学习的智能调度器,按需下载视频分层片段。
  • 平均画质高2dB,卡顿时间降80%,画质波动降57%。
  • 适合移动VR用户在复杂网络环境下使用。

我们提出ASL360,一种面向下一代无线网络中移动VR用户的自适应深度强化学习调度系统,用于按需播放360°视频。系统通过宏基站(MBS)与无人机搭载基站(UAV-mounted BS)的毫米波传输,将360°视频编码为依赖层和分块片段,支持用户分层下载。每个用户使用多个缓冲区存储对应层的片段。调度决策建模为带约束的马尔可夫决策过程(CMDP),采用PPO策略梯度方法求解最优策略。系统还引入动态成本调整机制,实时平衡画质、缓冲占用和画质变化。实验表明,相比基线方法,ASL360实现约2 dB更高平均画质,80%更低平均卡顿时间,57%更低画质波动,显著提升沉浸式视频流的用户体验,尤其在动态复杂网络环境中表现优异。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We propose ASL360, an adaptive deep reinforcement learning-based scheduler for on-demand 360$^\circ$ video streaming to mobile VR users in next generation wireless networks. We aim to maximize the overall Quality of Experience (QoE) of the users served over a UAV-assisted 5G wireless network. Our system model comprises a macro base station (MBS) and a UAV-mounted base station which both deploy mm-Wave transmission to the users. The 360$^\circ$ video is encoded into dependent layers and segmented tiles, allowing a user to schedule downloads of each layer's segments. Furthermore, each user utilizes multiple buffers to store the corresponding video layer's segments. We model the scheduling decision as a Constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP), where the agent selects Base or Enhancement layers to maximize the QoE and use a policy gradient-based method (PPO) to find the optimal policy. Additionally, we implement a dynamic adjustment mechanism for cost components, allowing the system to adaptively balance and prioritize the video quality, buffer occupancy, and quality change based on real-time network and streaming session conditions. We demonstrate that ASL360 significantly improves the QoE, achieving approximately 2 dB higher average video quality, 80% lower average rebuffering time, and 57% lower video quality variation, relative to competitive baseline methods. Our results show the effectiveness of our layered and adaptive approach in enhancing the QoE in immersive videostreaming applications, particularly in dynamic and challenging network environments.
