The present disclosure seeks to perform real-time video streaming on a mobile device toward maintaining user QoE even under bandwidth constraints while being acceptable to the lightweight computing capacity of the mobile device. To this end, the embodiments apply deep neural network-based SR to a small number of pre-selected video frames and utilize the video frames to which SR is applied to enhance the resolution of the remaining frames, wherein the pre-selected frames are chosen for SR within a preset quality margin. Additionally, the present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for SR acceleration for real-time video streaming under the lightweight computing capacity and video-specific constraints of a mobile device, which allow a server to deliver multiple options on a deep neural network and a cache profile including SR application information and enable the mobile device to select an option suitable for its computing capacity.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for encoding media content based on an ending delay of first media content and a startup delay of second media content. Second media content may be configured for transmission after first media content in a media content stream. The first media content may be associated with an ending delay corresponding to transmission and/or decoding of frames of the first media content. The second media content may be associated with a starting delay corresponding to transmission and/or decoding of frames of the second media content. The first media content and the second media content may be encoded using different encoding formats. Based on comparing the ending delay and starting delay to a threshold, encoding parameters may be selected, one or more frames may be removed from the first media content and/or the second media content, and/or buffers of one or more devices may be adjusted.

The construction method of NALU (Network Abstraction Layer Unit) for IPv6 label switching and its using algorithms of video encoding, QoS control, and decoding are provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the NALU format is composed of the NALH (Network Abstraction Layer Header) including the label and the NAL (Network Abstraction Layer) payload. Here, the label is determined based on layer information which is combination of a spatial scalable level, a temporal scalable level, and a quality scalable level of the encoded data. The decoder uses the label to decide which one of multiple decoding modules is used to decode the current NAL payload. Moreover, the label can be included in the packet header so that the MANE (Media Aware Network Element) can use the label to decide whether to forward the packet or drop it. For example, the label in the packet header can be used for QoS control of video service by using the flow label field in IPv6 packet header. The IPv6 router can identify priority of the video packet by using the 20 bit long flow label, into which the label in NALH can be inserted. According to the embodiment, the MANE assumed in the MPEG and JVT (Joint Video Team) can be implemented effectively.
