Abstract :
Today, most streaming services rely on HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to deliver the contents to users, and mobile users are increasingly choosing Long Term Evolution (LTE) as the wireless access mode. In this letter, we propose a user-side scheme that takes LTE modem operation into account in video streaming over HTTP, leading to as much battery saving gain as 40% without Discontinuous Reception (DRX) and potentially 70% if DRX is deployed in future.
