In this paper, we propose bitrate and video quality planning algorithms for mobile streaming scenarios using a GPS-based bandwidth-lookup service in order to reduce frequently changing video quality and the number of playout interruptions. Our real world experiments using an adaptive segmented HTTP video streaming system while travelling on popular commute routes indicate that the users{\textquoteright} quality of experience is greatly increased.}, year = {2011}, journal = {Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME)}, pages = {1-6}, month = {July}, publisher = {IEEE}, isbn = {978-1-61284-348-3}, doi = {ICME.2011.6012045}, }
