Smooth Workload Adaptive Broadcast Yang Guo, Lixin Gao Don Towsley, Subhabrata Sen IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MULTIMEDIA , APRIL 2004
Outline • Introduction • Workload adaptive broadcast architecture • Flexible Periodic Broadcast • Smooth Transition Property • Performance Evaluation • Conclusion
Introduction • Develop bandwidth-efficient techniques for • Delivering popular video • To a large, asynchronous client population • With time-varying demand characteristics • In the past, PB (Periodic Broadcast) scheme was used
Drawbacks of PB scheme • Workload insensitivity • Not adapt to changing workload demands • Delayed playback • Clients experience a playback delay
What desirable in this scheme ? • Parsimonious transmission • Transmits a segment only if required • Workload adaption • Dynamically adjusts the number of channels • Instantaneous playback • Enables instantaneous or near-instantaneous playback
Related Work • Compare to “Data broadcasting and seamless channel transition for highly-demanded video” • Advantage: smooth channel transition property • Disadvantage: • It require the client to listen to all channels simultaneously • Without using parsimonious transmission, so become inefficient when a video turn to unpopular
Client Server unicast multicast request Workload adaptive broadcast architecture • Modified PB • scheduler 1 1 2. Workload adaptor 2 2
Modified PB Scheduler Client 1 Client 2 Near-Instaneous playback (multicast) Instantaneous playback (unicast) (multicast) Parsimonious PB (multicast)
Workload Adaptor • Determine optimal channel number depend on the arrival rate and video length
W , the average arrival rate converges to the current arrival rated more quickly Workload Adaptor • : the arrival rate after the n-th update period • : the number of arrivals during n-th period • : the weight • : the period length
Flexible Periodic Broadcast • Fn : Channel n is responsible for delivering Fn consecutive segments to clients
Server Transmission schedule • Suppose FPB use K channels to transmit a video clip of length L • Start rule : n-th channel start transmission after (n-1)-th channel complete the transmission of segments • Repeat Rule : Each channel repeat its transmission schedule once every segments
Server Transmission Schedule • Transmission schedule within a period: • For channel n, n=2,3,…,K-1, the transmission schedule comprises K-n+1 batches of segments • The first batch consists of segments • Ex. K=6, n=3, -> [3+1,6] -> (4,5,6) • The second batch, the same as the leading segments in the first batch -> (4,5) • Batch i, ,consist of segments contained in the previous i-2 batches, from batch 1 to batch i-2 -> (4,5,6) (4,5,6,4,5) 1 2 3 5 8 13

Smooth Transition Property • The clients already starting their service not experience any disruption during the transition • The newly arrived clients make use of the FPB scheme with K’ channels • The total number of channels used during the transition period is no larger than max{ K, K’ }
