Abstract(in English) Considering mobile throughput fluctuation and playout buffer control is important to provide robust and energy-friendly video delivery for mobile users. In this paper, we propose playout buffer control based on throughput history data in order to achieve robust and energy-friendly video delivery. In our proposed method, once a mobile user detects high throughput area on the route using throughput history data, the playout buffer size will be increased, and the user will aggressively download video segments until fulfilling the extended buffer. After leaving the high throughput area, the mobile user will consume video segments from the extended buffer to keep smooth video playback without wireless communications. To validate our proposal, we evaluate the performance of our method by computer simulations and actual experiments on various routes with throughput fluctuations. From these results, by allow increasing traveling time, we can save video playback freeze and power consumption.
