Abstract-Recently, various schemes for broadcasting continuous media data such as audio and video have been studied. Some of them have focused on reducing the waiting time of clients under the condition that clients can play data without interruption from beginning to end. These schemes usually employ multiple channels to broadcast continuous media data. However, clients for most broadcast systems such as wireless LAN, DVB and ISDB-T cannot receive data from multiple channels concurrently. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a scheduling scheme to reduce the waiting time of clients with a single channel. Preliminary results suggest that this scheme outperforms existing schemes.
The AB (Alternative Broadcasting) REF scheme focuses on a single channel broadcasting.
