Deploying Fused Sharable Video Interaction Channels in Mobile Cloud

A plethora of mobile video applications involving all aspects of social life are becoming increasingly prevalent. However, for resource-hungry and delay-sensitive multi-view video applications such as multi-channel video conferencing and 3D videos, the hardware resources of mobile terminals becomes a bottleneck in concurrently decoding multiple videos. Fusing multiple views into a single-view video stream in the cloud before transmission can unload the computation of mobile terminals. But the delay increment caused by video fusing in this cloudbased multi-view video streaming makes the strategy of deploying such applications a new area to examine. In this paper, in the interest of deployment with higher resource utilization and less latency, first, together with a load model of the fused sharable video interaction process, a channel admission control algorithm that targets maximizing the supportive capacity of the cloud is introduced. Subsequently, a channel deployment algorithm based on load coordination between the cloud and mobile clients is proposed to ensure that the delay caused by cloud processing is acceptable while minimizing the terminal computing load.
