Abstract

We develop a dynamic buffer management technique called WBM considering VBR compression in a continuous media server. WBM divides the service duration of clients into several small time intervals called window and reallocates the buffer space every window period. WBM could incur relatively high run-time overhead because it reallocates the buffer space periodically. To reduce the run-time overhead, WBM maintains the admitted clients by groups and manages groups in a round-robin fashion. We present a case study which shows a significant improvement in the buffer utilization and the necessary amount of buffer space.
