An Effective Batching Scheme Utilizing the Segment Interval Time for Wireless IPTV

The demand on IPTV services has been greatly increasing in the area of wireless communication. For supporting a large number of users with limited resources, the development of effective transmission technology is inevitable. In this paper we propose an efficient batching scheme enhancing the performance of VoD system over wireless IPTV. The proposed approach capitalizes the notion of segment interval time to maximize the channel utilization. Computer simulation shows that the proposed approach allows seamless service with a small number of channels as one or two for practical operational conditions, while the existing batching scheme requires a much larger number of channels. Moreover, the start-up latency is reduced.
