08 Jul 2014TL;DR: This paper studies the problem of reducing the delay of downloading data from cloud storage systems by leveraging multiple parallel threads, assuming that the data has been encoded and stored in the clouds using fixed rate forward error correction (FEC) codes with parameters (n, k).
Abstract: In this paper, we study the problem of reducing the delay of downloading data from cloud storage systems by leveraging multiple parallel threads, assuming that the data has been encoded and stored in the clouds using fixed rate forward error correction (FEC) codes with parameters (n, k). That is, each file is divided into k equal-sized chunks, which are then expanded into n chunks such that any k chunks out of the n are sufficient to successfully restore the original file. The model can be depicted as a multiple-server queue with arrivals of data retrieving requests and a server corresponding to a thread. However, this is not a typical queueing model because a server can terminate its operation, depending on when other servers complete their service (due to the redundancy that is spread across the threads). Hence, to the best of our knowledge, the analysis of this queueing model remains quite uncharted.
Recent traces from Amazon S3 show that the time to retrieve a fixed size chunk is random and can be approximated as a constant delay plus an i.i.d. exponentially distributed random variable. For the tractability of the theoretical analysis, we assume that the chunk downloading time is i.i.d. exponentially distributed. Under this assumption, we show that any work-conserving scheme is delay-optimal among all on-line scheduling schemes when k = 1. When k > 1, we find that a simple greedy scheme, which allocates all available threads to the head of line request, is delay optimal among all on-line scheduling schemes. We also provide some numerical results that point to the limitations of the exponential assumption, and suggest further research directions.

22 Sep 2003TL;DR: In this paper, a method of decoding encoded moving picture data may be provided, which may include computer implemented steps performed by a processor of a computer system to implement the following steps: decoding the encoded moving pictures data into decoded pictures; storing the encoded pictures in a decoded picture buffer; if a picture is an IDR picture, making unused for reference the at least one reference picture stored in the decoded Picture Buffer; and if a flag associated with the IDR Picture has a second value, emptying the decoding picture buffer.
Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method of decoding encoded moving picture data may be provided. The method may include: computer implemented steps performed by a processor of a computer system to implement the following steps: decoding the encoded moving picture data into decoded pictures; storing the decoded pictures in a decoded picture buffer, wherein the decoded pictures in the decoded picture buffer include at least one reference picture and at least one non-reference picture; if a picture is an IDR picture, making unused for reference the at least one reference picture stored in the decoded picture buffer; if a flag associated with the IDR picture has a first value, deleting from the decoded picture buffer an decoded picture made unused for reference; and if the flag associated with the IDR picture has a second value, emptying the decoded picture buffer.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to effectively utilize frequency resources, even in cases when a mixture of a plurality of user terminals having different capabilities is present. A wireless base station which uses a plurality of component carriers to communicate with user terminals is provided with: a setting unit which sets, in the component carriers, first carrier-type subframes capable of being received respectively by a plurality of user terminals having different capabilities, and second carrier-type subframes capable of being received by a portion of the plurality of user terminals; and a transmitting unit which uses the first carrier type and the second carrier type to transmit downlink signals to the user terminals. The setting unit sets at least one of the plurality of component carriers so as to cause the first carrier-type subframes and the second carrier-type subframes therein to dynamically change.
