Optimizing Caching in a Patch Streaming Multimedia-on-Demand System

Abstract

In on-demand multimedia streaming systems, streaming techniques are usually combined with proxy caching to obtain better performance. The patch streaming technique has no start-up latency inherent to it, but requires extra bandwidth to deliver the media data in patch streams. This paper proposes a proxy caching technique which aims at reducing the bandwidth cost of the patch streaming technique. The proposed approach determines media prefixes with high patching cost and caches the appropriate media prefix at the proxy/local server. Herein the scheme is evaluated using a synthetically generated media access workload and its performance is compared with that of the popularity and prefix-aware interval caching scheme (the prefix part) and with that of patch streaming with no caching. The bandwidth saving, hit ratio and concurrent number of clients are used to compare the performance, and the proposed scheme is found to perform better for different caching capacities of the proxy server.

5G Network Communication, Caching, and Computing Algorithms Based on the Two-Tier Game Model

“…In each game round, the learning process sequentially proceeds according to (5) to (8), and the B i stochastically selects the P B i strategy using its strategy selection distribution ðP B i Þ. In this study, we effectively implement the second-tier game model by adopting the dynamiclearning-based Stackelberg model.…”

“…Usually, applications running UE access their required data from the cloud server. In this process, a transmission delay will inevitably occur To reduce the delay latency, data caching technology was introduced Data caching can greatly reduce the number of duplicate data transmissions while preventing the front‐haul capacity bottleneck . With the data caching technique for computation services, content caching for communication services is considered for popular distribution.…”

“…Furthermore, classical ways of improving cellular network capacity have suffered from physical and economical limitations. Therefore, current research on 5G networks is geared towards developing intelligent ways of data dissemination by deviating from the traditional network architecture [1][2][3].…”
