Abstract

Video-on-demand (VOD) is a service that allows users to view any video program from a server at the time of their choice, such kind of services are expected to be popular in future ubiquitous computing environment. Lots of broadcasting protocols for VOD services have been proposed, but they usually focus only on the tradeoff between bandwidth and delay, thus they are usually not efficient for the local storage. Since the ubiquitous network is heterogeneous and users will have different resource and communication capability, we need to address the storage issue in VOD systems. In this paper, we present several new effective broadcasting schemes, which can intelligently adjust the solution according to available bandwidth and local storage to achieve an ideal waiting time.
