New Breakthrough Could Revolutionize Online Video and Gaming Experiences
September 25 2024 - 6:24AM
Inventors from Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA), have unveiled a
groundbreaking new solution that could dramatically improve the
quality of online video streaming and gaming. The paper, titled
"Selective Enablement of L4S Transport for Latency-Sensitive
Multimedia Delivery” has been accepted for presentation at the
prestigious IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal
Processing.
"This research represents an exciting step towards a smoother,
more responsive internet," said Serhad Doken, Adeia’s chief
technology officer. "We're eager to continue refining and testing
our solutions, with the goal of industry adoption for improved user
experiences as soon as possible."
Adeia’s innovative approach centers around the concept of a
special "fast lane" for internet traffic. This fast lane, known as
"L4S" (Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput), is designed to
prioritize time-sensitive data like live video streams and online
gaming traffic, helping it reach its destination more quickly and
reliably.
"Lag and buffering are some of the most frustrating experiences
for users of online video and gaming," said Dr. Dhananjay Lal,
Adeia’s vice president of advanced R&D and one of the paper's
authors. "Our proposed solution has the potential to transform
these experiences, making them much smoother and more
responsive."
The key innovation lies in Adeia’s approach to utilizing the
fast lane. Rather than sending all of a video stream or game's data
through the fast lane, they suggest only using it when there is a
surge in the data volume - such as when a player in an online game
suddenly turns a corner, or during critical moments in a live
sports event.
This "smart" use of the fast lane helps prevent the lane from
becoming congested, while still ensuring that the most
time-sensitive data reaches its destination quickly. The inventors
at Adeia have also addressed the challenge of out-of-order data
delivery, proposing a solution that splits the data into different
QUIC streams for the regular and “fast lane,” putting it back in
order upon reaching the user's device.
"By intelligently leveraging the fast lane only when it's truly
needed, we can make much more efficient use of existing internet
infrastructure," said Christopher Phillips, senior director of
advanced R&D at Adeia. "This could lead to significant
improvements in user experience for a wide range of online
applications, from gaming and live streaming to video conferencing
and virtual reality."
The inventors at Adeia acknowledge that implementing changes
like this across the entire internet would be a complex
undertaking, requiring cooperation from various companies and
organizations. However, they are optimistic that their ideas could
be adopted and make a real difference in the near future.
The paper will be presented at the IEEE International Workshop
on Multimedia Signal Processing, taking place from October 2-4,
2024, at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana.
