In this work, we propose a novel rate control algorithm for Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard based on its distinct rate-distortion characteristics. By modelling the transform coefficients with the composite Cauchy distribution, higher accuracy compared with traditional distributions has been achieved. Based on the transform coefficient modelling, the theoretically derived R-Q and D-Q models which have been shown to deliver higher accuracy in characterizing RD characteristics for sequences with different content are incorporated into the rate control process. Furthermore, to establish an adaptive bit allocation scheme, the dependency between different levels of frames is modelled by a dependency factor to describe relationship between the reference and to-be-coded frames. Given the derived R-Q and D-Q relationships, as well as the dependency factor, an adaptive bit allocation scheme is developed for optimal bits allocation. We implement the proposed algorithm on VVC Test Model (VTM) 3.0. Experiments show that due to proper bit allocation, for low delay configuration the proposed algorithm can achieve 1.03 with the default rate control algorithm and 2.96 fixed QP scheme. Moreover, 1.29 have also been observed under the random access configuration.
