Abstract

This paper proposes a systematic rate controller (SRC) for streamed delivery of MPEG-4 FGS video over the Internet. It provides both coarse-grain and fine-grain scalability of rate adaptation to various user access rates, long-term or short-term bandwidth fluctuations, and bit-rate variations of streamed video in a general scope of time-scale. A state machine (SM) is developed to implement the SRC. The adaptation is realized through mode and state transitions of the SM
