Abstract

In this paper, the quality and transferred data based video bitrate control method for web-conferencing services is proposed, aiming to reduce transferred data by suppressing excessive quality. In web-conferencing services, the video bitrate is generally controlled in accordance with the network conditions (e.g., jitter and packet loss rate) to improve users' quality. However, in such a control, the bitrate is excessively high when the network conditions is sufficiently high (e.g., high throughput and low jitter), which causes an increased transferred data volume. The increased volume of data transferred leads to increased operational costs, such as network costs for service providers. To solve this problem, we developed a method to control the video bitrate of each user to achieve the required quality determined by the service provider. This method is implemented in an actual web-conferencing system and evaluated under various conditions. It was shown that the bitrate could be controlled in accordance with the required quality to reduce the transferred data volume.
