Prius: Hybrid Edge Cloud and Client Adaptation for HTTP Adaptive Streaming in Cellular Networks

In this paper, we present Prius, a hybrid edge cloud and client adaptation framework for HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) by taking advantage of the new capabilities empowered by recent advances in edge cloud computing. In particular, emerging edge clouds are capable of accessing an application layer and radio access networks (RANs) information in real time. Coupled with powerful computation support, an edge cloud-assisted strategy is expected to...
