Abstract
The Fast Broadcasting scheme is one of the simplest schemes that provide video services. In this scheme, the video is divided into equal-sized segments depending upon the bandwidth allocated by the video server. If the video length is not known, then this scheme cannot be applied as the number of video segments cannot be determined. In a live video wherein the video size is unknown, especially the ending time of the live broadcast, e.g., cricket match, this scheme cannot be applied. In this paper, we propose a model that helps the Fast Broadcasting scheme to support live video broadcasting. The basic architecture of the system consists of a live system with one video channel that broadcasts the live video and a video server that broadcasts the already broadcast live video to users.
Highlights
Video-on-Demand (VOD) services are one of the important classes that has several potential applications, such as entertainment, advertisement, distance education, etc
The channel transition is performed after all time slots of all the video channels are full with the video segments
We have proposed a technique so that the Fast Broadcasting scheme can be used for broadcasting the live videos
Summary
Video-on-Demand (VOD) services are one of the important classes that has several potential applications, such as entertainment, advertisement, distance education, etc. In spite of vast usability, these applications could not gain much attention because the earlier network technologies were not sufficient enough to support high data rate and same was with the storage technologies. These technologies have been developed significantly and are further being enhanced. Several schemes exist in literature, but all are meant for the stored videos. We propose a mechanism that helps the Fast Broadcasting scheme to support the live video services. The broadcasting techniques are very important as they help utilizing the bandwidth efficiently. Some of the important broadcasting techniques are discussed in [8,9]
