ABSTRACT
This paper proposes two techniques for low-complexity rate-distortion
(R-D) optimized streaming of packetized video. These techniques
enable computing packet transmission schedules which satisfy a
constraint on the average transmission rate while at the same time
minimizing the average end-to-end distortion. Optimized packet
schedules are computed with considerably lower complexity as
compared to conventional algorithms for R-D optimized stream-
ing, which makes these techniques suitable for on-line optimized
streaming. Simulation experiments examine the performance of
