TLDR
This study investigates a novel multicast technique, called Skyscraper Broadcasting (SB), for video-on-demand applications, and is able to achieve the low latency of PB while using only 20% of the buffer space required by PPB.Abstract:
We investigate a novel multicast technique, called Skyscraper Broadcasting (SB), for video-on-demand applications. We discuss the data fragmentation technique, the broadcasting strategy, and the client design. We also show the correctness of our technique, and derive mathematical equations to analyze its storage requirement. To assess its performance, we compare it to the latest designs known as Pyramid Broadcasting (PB) and Permutation-Based Pyramid Broadcasting (PPB). Our study indicates that PB offers excellent access latency. However, it requires very large storage space and disk bandwidth at the receiving end. PPB is able to address these problems. However, this is accomplished at the expense of a larger access latency and more complex synchronization. With SB, we are able to achieve the low latency of PB while using only 20% of the buffer space required by PPB.read more

Wrap Harmonic Broadcasting and Receiving Scheme for Popular Video Service
TL;DR: An original scheme dubbed wrap HB (WHB), in which each segment is partitioned equally into vertical subsegments according to its serial number, and the maximum number of segments of the scheme approaches to the theoretical upper bound.

Fault-tolerant analysis for multiple servers movie retrieval strategy for distributed multimedia applications
TL;DR: This paper designs a movie retrieval strategy that explicitly considers issues such as reliability and/or availability factors of the multimedia servers and the communication channels in the problem formulation, and develops a mathematical model that derives an optimal size of each movie portion that is expected to be rendered by each server.
Activity analysis of sign language video for mobile telecommunication
TL;DR: This dissertation describes algorithms for determining in real-time the activity in the video and encoding a dynamic skin-based region-of-interest, and uses features available “for free” from the encoder, and implements my techniques on an off-the-shelf mobile phone.

General frame level segmentation for periodic broadcast of VBR videos
TL;DR: This work presents a novel lossless scheme, general frame level segmentation (GFLS), which uses a segment-end-flag (SEF) sequence based on the frame interdependency to ensure continuous display of the whole video.

A Video-on-Demand Transmission Scheme for IPTV Service with Hybrid Mechanism
TL;DR: By transmitting highly requested videos through multi-session multicasting and normal videos with unicast, the proposed hybrid transmission mechanism has achieved improvement on service blocking probability.

Scheduling policies for an on-demand video server with batching
TL;DR: It is shown that an FCFS policy that schedules the movie with the longest outstanding request can perform better than the MQL policy that chooses the film with the maximum number of outstanding requests.

TL;DR: This paper provides analytical and experimental evaluations of pyramid broadcasting based on its implementation on an Ethernet LAN, gaining a radical improvement in access time and bandwidth use by using storage at the receiving end.

Dynamic batching policies for an on-demand video server
TL;DR: It is shown that a first come, first served (FCFS) policy that schedules the video with the longest outstanding request can perform better than the maximum queue length (MQL) policy, and multicasting is better exploited by scheduling playback of the most popular videos at predetermined, regular intervals (hence, termed FCFS-n).

On optimal batching policies for video-on-demand storage servers
TL;DR: This study proposes a batching policy that schedules the video with the maximum factored queue length and shows that MFQ yields excellent empirical results in terms of standard performance measures such as average latency time, defection rates and fairness.
