Abstract
HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) technology is becoming a popular vehicle for online video delivery. HAS applications often compete for network resources without any coordination between each other in a shared network. This leads to QoE fluctuations and unfairness between end users. This paper introduces UF model which exploits video quality, switching impact and cost efficiency as the fairness metrics to achieve user-level fairness in resource allocation. Experimental results demonstrate how UF model is a foundation to orchestrate the resource consumption of HAS streams.
