Abstract:

The traditional live video transmission optimization mechanism is deployed on the server side, which cannot quickly respond to the dynamic changes of the user’s wireless network environment.To address this problem, a live video transmission optimization mechanism based on edge intelligence called S-Edge was proposed.It was deployed on the OpenWrt-based wireless access point, and comprehensively utilized the wireless channel state information such as airtime utilization and signal-to-noise ratio to make intelligent decisions on terminal priority and transmission rate based on fuzzy logic theory.Furthermore, the active queue management with hierarchical token bucket and service demand-driven wireless transmission rate adaptive control technologies were introduced to realize the real-time scheduling of live video data.In order to verify the effectiveness and performance of the proposed mechanism, a high client-density environment was built through user clusters based on multi-radio interfaces in the real-world scenario.Experimental results show that S-Edge can significantly reduce the average delay and packet loss rate, which meets QoS requirements of live video transmission services in the high client-density environment.

Key words: WLAN, live video transmission, high client-density, edge intelligence
