Abstract
Preserving transmission properties of real-time scenes in an environment when an increasing number of users join a session may be provided. A plurality of metrics associated with transmission of scenes having a Coarse Grain (CG) layer and a Fine Grain (FG) layer may be determined. Then a current client, based on a first one of a plurality of metrics, may be revoked. One of the following may then be performed: blocking a new client based on a second one of a plurality of metrics; and allowing the new client based on the second one of a plurality of metrics.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a plurality of metrics associated with transmission of scenes having a Coarse Grain (CG) layer and a Fine Grain (FG) layer;
- revoking a current client based on a first one of the plurality of metrics;
- and performing one of;
- blocking a new client based on a second one of the plurality of metrics wherein blocking the new client based on the second one of the plurality of metrics comprises blocking the new client when the second one of the plurality of metrics, comprising an Average Coarse Grain Layer Size (ACGLS), is less than a minimum ACGLS value, and
- allowing the new client based on the second one of the plurality of metrics.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- determine a plurality of metrics associated with transmission of scenes having a Coarse Grain (CG) layer and a Fine Grain (FG) layer;
- and
- perform one of;
- block a new client based on a first one of the plurality of metrics
- wherein the processing unit being operative to block the new client based on the second one of the plurality of metrics comprises the processing unit being operative to block the new client when the second one of the plurality of metrics, comprising an Average Layer Ratio (ALR), is less than a minimum ALR value, and
- allow the new client based on the first one of the plurality of metrics.
A computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed performs a method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a metric associated with transmission of scenes having a Coarse Grain (CG) layer and a Fine Grain (FG) layer;
- and performing one of;
- blocking a new client based on the metric, and
- allowing the new client based on the metric wherein allowing the new client based on the second one of the plurality of metrics comprises allowing the new client when the second one of the plurality of metrics, comprising an Average Coarse Grain Layer Size (ACGLS), is one of greater than a minimum ACGLS value and equal to the minimum ACGLS value.
