Broadcasting video with the knowledge of user delay preference
نویسندگان
چکیده
In designing a video broadcasting system, the delay preference of a user is traditionally regarded as unknown. In fact, such preference can be known upon user’s arrival by employing some techniques such as i) delay-dependent charging, where users are offered different levels of pay-per-view (PPV) depending on the maximum delay they are willing to tolerate; or ii) reservation, where a user specifies the exact play-time of a movie in advance, and he/she is charged according to the length of the reservation period. We explore, for the first time, the impact of such delay knowledge on request scheduling and system cost in terms of user loss and stream requirement. For delay-dependent charging, we propose “Delay-Aware Broadcasting” (DAB) and its variant based on reservation (DAB-r), where allocation of server streams is driven by the delay tolerance of a user. DAB-r offers differentiated grade of services according to user PPVs (and thereof classes). As compared with a system where user delay preference is not known, our schemes achieve substantially lower user loss rate, higher revenue, and better fairness. Regarding reservation system, we consider a scheme where clients can pre-buffer video data. Unicast streams are used to merge requests back to the on-going broadcast streams. We show that a reservation system achieves substantially lower stream requirement as compared to an on-demand system based on “patching.”

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) provides the opportunity for high-speed Internet delivery direct to user’s homes and offices. Most applications require full duplex communication, and the return path from the user to the Internet will be provided using lower speed terrestrial connections. Two challenges are presented when using DVB for high-speed Internet access: the poor performance of TCP ove...
