Abstract

In this paper, we consider a scenario where multiple video content channels are broadcasted to a set of heterogeneous mobile users with diverse display devices and different channel conditions. The objective is to design a joint coding and rate allocation algorithm which achieves maximum overall receiving quality of the heterogeneous users, measured by broadcasting utility. We use hierarchy optimization to solve this problem, and decompose the problem into a two-tier solution: the inner loop aims at single content broadcasting, solved with a joint coding algorithm; while the outer loop focus on multiple contents broadcasting, using dynamic programming approach to find the optimal rate allocation policy. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution.
