Scheduling methods based on data division for continuous media data broadcast

Recently, various schemes have arisen to broadcast continuous media data such as audio and video. Some of them have focused on reducing clients' waiting time under the continuity condition, i.e., to play data completely without any interruptions. These schemes usually employ multiple channels to broadcast continuous media data. However, receivers of many existing broadcast systems such as those equipped with wireless LAN or Bluetooth cannot receive data from multiple channels concurrently. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a scheduling scheme to reduce the waiting time of clients with a single channel.
