Abstract

With the growth of broadband networks, video-on-demand (VoD) has become realistic. Many significant broadcasting schemes have been proposed to reduce the bandwidth requirement for stored popular videos, but they cannot be used for provide reliable delivery over lossy channels perfectly. Herein, we propose a new broadcasting scheme, called the interleaving harmonic broadcasting (IHB) scheme, which guarantees continuous playback, and mitigates the effect of packet losses. Further, in comparison with the poly-harmonic broadcasting (PHB), cautions harmonic broadcasting (CHB) scheme, reliable periodic broadcasting (RPB) scheme and second chance broadcasting (SCB) scheme, the IHB outperforms on required bandwidth, maximum required buffers and maximum disk transfer rate.
