In recent years, a number of sophisticated architectures have been proposed to provide
video-on-demand (VoD) service using multicast transmissions. Compared to their unicast …

In this paper, we study how to distribute storage capacity along a hierarchical system with
cache-servers located at each node. This system is intended to deliver stored video streams …

In this paper, we investigate optimal frame-selection algorithms based on dynamic
programming for delivering stored variable bit rate (VBR) video under both bandwidth and …

Although VBR coding is more efficient than CBR coding, the burstiness of VBR video traffic
brings great difficulty to network resource management. To address this problem, we …

One of the methods for taking advantage of multicast services is the use of batching. With
this method, several request of the same video are grouped and transmitted together, using …

The choice of fuzzy implication methods is a significant problem in the theoretical
development of fuzzy set and approximate reasoning. Many operation methods on the fuzzy …

The efficient transmission of variable-bit-rate (VBR) video streams is complicated by the
burstiness that video compression standards such as MPEG introduce. Most of the existing …

Minimizing the number of bandwidth changes of individual stream and enabling the
transmission schedule flexible can benefit increasing the number of concurrent multiplexed …

In this paper, we present a scalable pricing model for dynamic bandwidth allocation. Using
simulation we demonstrate that service providers can achieve increased revenue as well as …

In an in-home digital network it may be expected that several data streams (audio, video) run
simultaneously over a shared communication device, eg, a bus. The burstiness of a data …
