VOD 서비스의 스케줄링 기법에 관한 연구

A Study on the Scheduling scheme for VOD Services.

Generally, in a VOD(video on Demand) system, batching technique is oten used to improve throughput. Since subscribers to VOD servives tend to withdraw their requests as the latency becomes large, an optimal scheduling scheme should consider not only batching size but also withdrawal rae, service latency and fairness between different programs. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling scheme, which shows improvement in fairness and reduction in withdrawal rate and service latency compared with other well known schemes. When there are 2 or more streams are available in the VOD server, proposed scheme apply different program selection policies to each streams. Using this approach effectiveness of stream usage can be improved.
