This paper proposed a distributed video streaming fair scheduling strategy based on federated deep reinforcement learning to address the issues of unfair user QoE and low bandwidth utilization caused by uneven video bandwidth allocation in bottleneck links. This strategy dynamically generated bandwidth allocation weights based on the client's network status and the QoE level of each video stream. The congestion control algorithm at the server side allocated bandwidth to each video stream in the bottleneck link according to the computed weights, ensuring equitable transmission of video streams in the bottleneck link. Each video terminal operated a bandwidth allocation agent, and multiple agents train periodically using federated learning to facilitate rapid convergence of the agent models. The bandwidth allocation agents synchronized their training parameters through a consensus mechanism, enabling distributed aggregation of the agent model parameters while ensuring the security of parameter sharing. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy improves QoE fairness and overall QoE efficiency by 10% and 7%, respectively, compared to the latest solutions. This indicates that the proposed strategy has potential and effectiveness in addressing the uneven allocation of video stream bandwidth and improving user experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
