Optimizing Adaptive Video Streaming: A Fuzzy Logic Approach to Resource Allocation

Abstract

The demand for high-quality video streaming has propelled the evolution of adaptive streaming systems. Efficient resource allocation is paramount to ensuring optimal viewer experience, considering dynamic factors such as server load, network bandwidth, and viewer demand. This review paper investigates the application of fuzzy logic to enhance resource allocation in adaptive video streaming. Fuzzy logic, known for its adaptability in uncertain environments, offers a promising approach to address the complexities of resource optimization. We delve into the integration of fuzzy logic in resource allocation models, considering key parameters like server load, network bandwidth, and viewer demand. The paper provides a comprehensive examination of the benefits, challenges, and limitations associated with fuzzy logic-based resource allocation, supported by case studies illustrating successful implementations. Evaluation metrics are discussed to gauge the performance of this approach in comparison to traditional methods. The review concludes with insights into future directions, offering a roadmap for further advancements in the field of adaptive video streaming. "Optimizing Adaptive Video Streaming: A Fuzzy Logic Approach to Resource Allocation" aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on intelligent resource management for enhanced video streaming quality and user satisfaction.
