A game theoretic approach to video streaming over peer-to-peer networks [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We consider the problem of foresighted multimedia resource reciprocation in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, which consist of rational peers aiming at maximizing their individual utilities. We introduce an artificial currency (credit) to take into account the characteristics of different parts of the video signal. The resource reciprocation with the proposed credit metric can be formulated as a stochastic game, in which the peers determine their optimal strategies using Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework. The introduced framework can be applied to the general video coding, and in particular, is suitable for the scalable video where various parts of the encoded bit stream have significantly different importance for the video quality. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
