Abstract

This paper uses a crowdsourced dataset of online
video streaming sessions to investigate opportunities to reduce
the power consumption while considering QoE. For this, we base
our work on prior studies which model both the end-user’s QoE
and the end-user device’s power consumption with the help of
high-level video features such as the bitrate, the frame rate, and
the resolution. On top of existing research, which focused on
reducing the power consumption at the same QoE optimizing
video parameters, we investigate potential power savings by other
means such as using a different playback device, a different
codec, or a predefined maximum quality level. We find that based
on the power consumption of the streaming sessions from the
crowdsourcing dataset, devices could save more than 55% of
power if all participants adhere to low-power settings.
