演讲简介
Live media streaming has become one of the most popular applications over the Internet. We have witnessed the successful deployment of commercial systems with CDN- or peer-to-peer based engines. While each being effective in certain aspects, having an all-round scalable, reliable, responsive and cost-effective solution remains an illusive goal. Moreover, today's multimedia streaming services have become highly globalized, with subscribers from all over the world. Such a globalization makes user behaviors and demands even more diverse and dynamic, further challenging state-of-the-art system designs. The emergences of new research frontiers such as cloud computing, edge computing and deep learning however shed new lights into this dilemma, enabling us to design a series of more scalable, low-cost, efficient and intelligent live media streaming solutions to be presented in this talk. From the global perspective, by leveraging the elastic resource provisioning from cloud, we propose CALMS (Cloud-Assisted Live Media Streaming), a generic framework that facilitates the migration and deployment of global live media streaming to the cloud. We then further expand the framework to afford crowdsourced live streaming broadcast (crowdcast), which also takes into account the dynamics from the crowd of live streaming sources. From local perspective, we examine the issues presented at the network edges in the city scale, proposing DeepCast, an intelligent edge-assisted crowdcast framework that offers versatile accommodations for personalized QoE with minimized system cost and utilizes deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to tackle the key challenges therein. At the end of this talk, our other research directions as well as future works will also be briefly discussed.
