“…Researchers should be responsible for designing better schemes to improve the performance of the streaming network to offer better services. There are lots of researches working on mobile streaming network [6][7][8][9][10][11] and peer-assisted streaming network [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, to our knowledge, so far, there is few researches on the topic of how to pre-push resources in mobile peer-assisted network.…”
The popularization of streaming networks and mobile devices brings a new kind of network called mobile peer-assisted streaming network. In this network, service provider not only offers downloading services, but also pre-pushes resources to users for caching. Users can download their demanded resources while working as servers for uploading the cached data. Also the mobile characteristic makes high package losing probability in this network. So we study how the service provider pre-pushes or the user downloads resources efficiently and effectively while considering the package losing in this paper. We build utility models for service provider and user, and solve the models using Bellman's theory to achieve Nash Equilibrium which shows the service provider's optimal pre-pushing speed and user's optimal downloading speed. The numerical simulation demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed pre-pushing and downloading scheme by comparing to the traditional scheme.
