Abstract
An agent interfaces with a sending computing device and a receiving computing device to automatically adjust one-way or two-way real-time audio and real-time video transmission parameters responsive to changing network conditions and/or application requirements. The agent incorporates a reinforcement learning model that adjusts transmission parameters to maximize an expected value of a sum of future rewards; the expected value of the sum of future rewards is based on a current state of the sending computing, a current action (e.g. a current set of transmission parameters) at the sending computing device and a reward provided by the receiving computing device. The reward is representative of a user-perceived quality of experience at the receiving computing device.
