Abstract

BroadCatch belongs to a group of periodic broadcasting schemes that deliver popular video to a large number of users using multicasting. Some of the schemes have been shown to support seamless channel transition, a process that increases or decreases the number of channels allocated to a video without causing service interruption. By reallocating channels among movies depending on their popularity, the performance of a Video-on-Demand service can be improved. In this paper, we propose a seamless channel transition scheme based on BroadCatch and demonstrate its effectiveness as a performance tuning tool with simulation.
