Description
Summary:Periodic broadcasting is known as an efficient technique to support near Video-on-Demand services for delivering popular videos, since it can reduce the bandwidth requirement for transmitting streaming video to simultaneous viewers. The channel transition problem is an issue to be concerned about the variability of popularity of video. In this paper, we present a novel channel transition scheme based on the fast broadcasting. In most conditions, our proposed scheme has less bandwidth waste than the existing SFB scheme. In addition, no extra startup latency and client buffer are needed in our scheme.
