- Abstract
- Many studies have applied machine learning to bitrate control to increase Quality of Experience (QoE) of video streaming services in highly dynamic networks. However, their solutions mainly focused on HTTP adaptive streaming with one-to-one connections. This paper studies video conferencing applications where multi-party, full-duplex communication happens among participants. In particular, we propose Muno, a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)-based bandwidth prediction framework for multi-party video conferencing systems. Muno learns and predicts an appropriate bitrate for each connection in a multi-party conferencing call. We trained Muno to maximize the QoE of individual connections by constructing a feedback loop between a media server and DRL servers. Our experimental results show that Muno achieves a higher video streaming rate and lower delay compared to state-of-the-art rulebased algorithms.
