Searching content on peer-to-peer networks for in-flight entertainment

Key Factors in Designing In-Flight Entertainment Systems

“…Our case study is based on the work done by (Loureiro & Anzaloni, 2011), and our previous work in (Akl et al, 2010) to model the part related to the VoD service and the PLC network. (Loureiro & Anzaloni, 2011) introduced a peer-to-peer networking approach for using VoD for IFE systems and propose two solutions for the problem of content searching in such network.…”

“…Figure 9 shows QoS parameters as the non-functional requirements needed for the VoD service. (Loureiro & Anzaloni, 2011) identified two main parameters ρ and θ to define the required transmission. ρ and θ represent the amount of information (bytes) that needs to be transmitted across the application layer of the network during system startup, and system normal operation, respectively.…”

“…(Loureiro & Anzaloni, 2011) introduced a peer-to-peer networking approach for using VoD for IFE systems and propose two solutions for the problem of content searching in such network. We chose their work because it is a recent research that presents two different techniques to distribute video content over a peer-to-peer network rather than using traditional client-server architecture.…”

“…Each PLHB can support up to 20 PLBs at a rate of 3480 bit/sec each. We will use the model to verify if the technique proposed by (Loureiro & Anzaloni, 2011) can be supported by the PLC network or not.…”

“…If necessary, the last level of requirements can decompose into finer levels of derived requirements to show more details of the system. The Distribution Table technique (Loureiro & Anzaloni, 2011) will be used to satisfy part of the requirements of VoD service…”
