Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, selecting a set of traffic counters, wherein the traffic counters provide a profile of viewing habits of a user, and wherein the traffic counters are extracted from video streaming by the user; predicting a size of a video buffer based on the traffic counters selected; and building the video buffer based on the predicted size. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- applying a fast Fourier transform to a set of traffic counters extracted from a video streamed by a user of a communication device to create a traffic feature vector, wherein the set of traffic counters includes a total watching time;
- and
- providing instructions to the communication device to update a size of a video buffer in the communication device based on the traffic feature vector.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- applying a fast Fourier transform to a set of traffic counters extracted from a video streamed by a user of a communication device to create a traffic feature vector, wherein the set of traffic counters includes an amount of forwarding time;
- and
- updating a size of a video buffer in the communication device based on the traffic feature vector.
A method, comprising:
- creating, by a processing system comprising a processor, a prediction model from a plurality of traffic feature vectors, wherein the plurality of traffic feature vectors is mapped from a plurality of traffic counters derived from simulated network conditions;
- and
- applying, by the processing system, the prediction model to a current traffic feature vector to update a video buffer size for a communication device.
