A new slotted generalized Fibonacci broadcasting scheme for popular video delivery

It has been well recognized as an efficient approach for broadcasting popular videos by partitioning a video data stream into multiple segments and launching each segment through an individual channel simultaneously and periodically. Based on the design premises, the slotted generalized Fibonacci broadcasting (SGFB) scheme allows a client with small bandwidths to receive video segments. Given a fixed number of bandwidth channels on the client, SGFB can achieve the minimum client waiting time than other schemes. Extending SGFB, this work designs a new SGFB scheme (called SGFB+) to achieve small buffering space as well as low bandwidth demand at the client. Extensive simulation was conducted, which demonstrated that SGFB+ could have 37% smaller client buffer size than SGFB. Further simulation results also indicate that SGFB+ achieves lower client buffer demand than several broadcasting schemes.
