Recently, reinforced adaptive bitrate (ABR) algorithms have achieved remarkable success in tile-based 360-degree video streaming. However, they heavily rely on accurate viewport prediction. To alleviate this issue, we propose a hierarchical reinforcement-learning (RL) based ABR algorithm, dubbed 360HRL. Specifically, 360HRL consists of a top agent and a bottom agent. The former is used to decide whether to download a new segment for continuous playback or re-download an old segment for correcting wrong bitrate decisions caused by inaccurate viewport estimation, and the latter is used to select bitrates for tiles in the chosen segment. In addition, 360HRL adopts a two-stage training methodology. In the first stage, the bottom agent is trained under the environment where the top agent always chooses to download a new segment. In the second stage, the bottom agent is fixed and the top agent is optimized with the help of a heuristic decision rule. Experimental results demonstrate that 360HRL outperforms existing RL-based ABR algorithms across a broad of network conditions and quality of experience (QoE) objectives.

We have witnessed the rapid development of learned image compression (LIC). The latest LIC models have outperformed almost all traditional image compression standards in terms of rate-distortion (RD) performance. However, the time complexity of LIC model is still underdiscovered, limiting the practical applications in industry. Even with the acceleration of GPU, LIC models still struggle with long coding time, especially on the decoder side. In this paper, we analyze and test a few prevailing and representative LIC models, and compare their complexity with traditional codecs including H.265/HEVC intra and H.266/VVC intra. We provide a comprehensive analysis on every module in the LIC models, and investigate how bitrate changes affect coding time. We observe that the time complexity bottleneck mainly exists in entropy coding and context modelling. Although this paper pay more attention to experimental statistics, our analysis reveals some insights for further acceleration of LIC model, such as model modification for parallel computing, model pruning and a more parallel context model.
