Video streaming has become an irreplaceable technology in modern smart devices especially with the appearance of dynamic streaming over HTTP (DASH). However, the fluctuating and instability of wireless networks is still one of the greatest challenges to video streaming process. Video quality deteriorates by the amount of time that video streaming process has stopped playing because of the buffer starvation state. In this work, an adaptive rate algorithm is proposed for getting smooth video playback continuity by monitoring the available bandwidth and administrating the video buffer occupancy. Most of the conventional algorithms try to fill the video buffer quickly with available video segments which it may degrade the quality of experience (QoE) since these video segments may have low bitrate versions. So our proposed algorithm administrates the video buffer occupancy and maintains its filling with segments of high quality versions by estimating the available throughput and measuring the video buffer level. The estimation of the available throughput for the next segments is done based on the previously observed throughput of the last downloaded segment that keeps the buffer at accepted level. Through the simulation results, we checked effectiveness and robustness of our proposed algorithm under three different network bandwidth conditions namely: step-down, long term fluctuation and sudden-drop conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has fast reaction to these cases through adapting the video bitrate accordingly and maintain the video buffer away from the risk of underflow. Also we compared the proposed algorithm with other conventional algorithms in terms of average video bitrates, number of video bitrate switches and number of playback interruptions. We found that our proposed algorithm outperforms these algorithms in achieving high video bitrates, low number of video bitrate switches and minimum number of playback interruptions.

Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP(DASH) is widely used by content providers for video delivery and dominates traffic on cellular networks. The variation in both video bitrate and network bandwidth badly impacts on the user Quality of Experience(QoE), so recent works is going to submitting better design of DASH adaptation algorithms. In this work, an adaptive bitratealgorithm is proposed which incorporates the network state, the application state and the video variety conditions to adapt video quality under time varying wireless system. The proposed algorithm consists of two main units: estimation unit and video adaptation unit. During the estimation unit, a new attribute is included that scales the buffer occupancy estimation and the throughput estimation based on the variations in the current buffer level and measured throughput of previous download segments. While during the video adaptation unit, the selection of video bitrate is done based on both the measurements at estimation unit and a target level. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the other rate adaptation algorithms in terms of providing maximum download bit rates, minimum number of bitrates switches and the maximum utilization of available bandwidth while maintaining the playback buffer level within limits without any playback interruptions.

According to modeling problem for complex systems, a compensatory fuzzy neural network (CFNN) modeling method based on particle swarm clustering is proposed: the particle swarm clustering is used to automatically separate the space of input-output data, obtain the numbers of inference rules of fuzzy model and find fuzzy rules. Based on the rules, we modified fuzzy reasoning process and established initial structure of compensatory fuzzy neural network. Then using adaptive rate algorithm optimized initial network parameters, which can obtain a faster training speed and more precision. Simulation results show that the proposed network has successfully modeled the oxidation decomposition reaction process.
