A Content Driven Resource Allocation Scheme for Video Transmission in Vehicular Networks (2009.13379v1)

Abstract: With the growing computer vision applications, lots of videos are transmitted for content analysis, the way to allocate resources can affect the performance of video content analysis. For this purpose, the traditional resource allocation schemes for video transmission in vehicular networks, such as qualityof-service (QoS) based or quality-of-experience (QoE) based schemes, are no longer optimal anymore. In this paper, we propose an efficient content driven resource allocation scheme for vehicles equipped with cameras under bandwidth constraints in order to improve the video content analysis performance. The proposed resource allocation scheme is based on maximizing the quality-of-content (QoC), which is related to the content analysis performance. A QoC based assessment model is first proposed. Then, the resource allocation problem is converted to a solvable convex optimization problem. Finally, simulation results show the better performance of our proposed scheme than the existing schemes like QoE based schemes.
