Adaptive mobile streaming over HTTP/2 with gradual quality transitions

In this paper, we study an adaptation method for mobile streaming over HTTP/2. Beside leveraging the server push feature of HTTP/2 to reduce request-related overheads, the proposed method can improve video quality by delivering gradual video bitrate transitions. Experimental results show that our method can provide smooth video quality while resulting in a low number of requests over a whole session.
