Efficient Broadcasting Protocols for Video on Demand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Broadcasting protocols can improve the efficiency of video on demand services by reducing the bandwidth required to transmit videos that are simultaneously watched by many viewers. We present here two broadcasting protocols that achieve nearly the same low bandwidth as the best extant broadcasting protocol while guaranteeing a lower maximum access time. Our first protocol, cautious harmonic broadcasting, requires somewhat more bandwidth than our second protocol, quasi-harmonic broadcasting, but is also much simpler to implement.

A Reactive Broadcasting Protocol for Video on Demand
Broadcasting can reduce the cost of video on demand services by distributing in a more efficient fashion videos that are simultaneously watched by many viewers. Rather than waiting for individual requests, broadcasting schedules repeated broadcasts of the various segments of a video ahead of time. Hence it performs best when it is used to distribute videos that are watched concurrently by hundr...
متن کاملAn Efficient Hierarchical Modulation based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Transmission Scheme for Digital Video Broadcasting
Due to the increase of users the efficient usage of spectrum plays an important role in digital terrestrial television networks. In digital video broadcasting, local and global content are transmitted by single frequency network and multifrequency network respectively. Multifrequency network support transmission of global content and it consumes large spectrum. Similarly local content are well ...
متن کاملVideo-on-Demand Broadcasting Protocols: a Comprehensive Study
Broadcasting protocols are proved to be efficient for transmitting most of the popular videos in video-on-demand systems. We propose a generalized analytical approach to evaluate the efficiency of the broadcasting protocols and derive the theoretical lower bandwidth requirement bound for any periodic broadcasting protocols. By means of the proposed analytical tool temporal-bandwidth map, the ap...
متن کاملLimiting the Client Bandwidth of Broadcasting Protocols for Videos on Demand
Broadcasting protocols can lower the cost of video-ondemand services by more efficiently distributing all videos that are simultaneously watched by many viewers. The most efficient broadcasting protocols require a customer settop box capable of capturing data from five to seven video channels at the same time. We show how to modify existing broadcasting protocols so that their client bandwidth ...
متن کاملDiscrete Broadcasting Protocols for Video-on-Demand
The Video-on-Demand (VOD) service allows users to view any video program from a server at the time of their choice. Broadcasting protocols can be used to improve the efficiency of a VOD system. The Harmonic Broadcasting Protocol has been proved to be bandwidthoptimal, but it is not efficient for the local storage. In this paper, we present the Discrete Broadcasting scheme, which can intelligent...
