HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has become popular for delivering videos over the Internet. However, most HAS services are currently based on the traditional HTTP/1.1, which has limitations for live streaming. Meanwhile, the new HTTP/2 was standardized in 2015 with many improvements. In this letter, we present a novel HTTP/2-based adaptation scheme for low-delay live streaming over mobile networks. The proposed scheme leverages two HTTP/2 features called server push and stream termination to enable a shorter camera-to-display delay. Experimental results with small buffer sizes show that our scheme can provide users with high video bitrate and stable buffer level. Furthermore, the buffer size in live streaming can be reduced to two sec without sacrificing video quality.
