Abstract
The video streaming may be the most importantservice of the internet nowadays, and it changes the viewinghabits of the millions of people. The novel streaming technique –adaptive streaming helps the people to watch the videossmoother, that is, the video quality or bitrate would be changedwith the bandwidth adaptively. However, the design of thetraditional adaptive streaming does not take the entire internetinto account, that is, each device may grab the bandwidth asmuch as possible, and the allocation of the bandwidth may notfairness which causes the unfairness of the quality of experience(QoE). In this study, the software defined network (SDN) isapplied to be the centralized control for allocating thebandwidth. Besides, a greedy-based video bitrate selectionalgorithm is proposed for achieving the QoE fairness. Bycomparing the results to the brute-force method, the proposedmethod can achieve the QoE fairness as the optimum solution ofthe brute-force method.
