Robust Scheduling Scheme to Reduce Queue Length Fluctuation in Streaming Services

We propose a scheduling method called SCQ (Smoothly Changing Queue) which can control service rate by bulk size of video streaming services such as IPTV and VoD. Since SCQ allows queue length to change smoothly, video streaming services can be stably provided with low jitter. Queueing analysis results show that SCQ can more stably deliver video streaming with low jitter and loss than existing AQMs or queue length-based rate control methods.
