Peer-Assisted Content Delivery to Reduce the Bandwidth of TSTV Service in IPTV System

Abstract

With great technologies, emerge new needs and requirements. The progress achieved in Access broadband rates accentuated the demand on IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) services specially Video on Demand (VOD) and Time Shift TV (TSTV) which led subsequently to a great need for efficiency in the use of bandwidth consumed by those services. Optimization solutions are considered by IPTV service providers to lighten the service load especially on Access Nodes uplinks. This paper describes an optimization of TSTV dedicated bandwidth based on a peer-assisting TSTV content delivery, a solution in which the users STBs (set-top-boxes) assist the central TSTV servers in the service fulfillment. For this purpose, for each TSTV request, the STB will be receiving the TSTV stream from a neighbor STB instead of the central server. By using this method, the unicast traffic will not pass through the IP network; it will be a peer-to-peer communication within the access network. Extensive simulation results were included to illustrate the validity of the proposed new solution.

Short Video Copyright Storage Algorithm Based on Blockchain and Expression Recognition

“…Human measurable and objective emotional reactions include joy, anger, sadness, and joy [1]. Facial expression recognition has always been regarded as an important research direction in the field of emotional computing, which is very important and mature for the application fields such as customer service [2] and driver monitoring [3], but there is little research on facial expression recognition in the field of short video copyright protection. The most important research point in facial expression recognition is the feature point extraction of facial expression, because the quality of feature extraction will directly affect the accuracy of the subsequent training classifier.…”

“…The size of the compressed feature map will be significantly reduced, and there is no over fitting problem in the average pooling operation. If the lower sampling layer is set to sampling down , the definition of maximum pooling is shown in Equation (2).…”

Design of a Novel Architecture for Cost-Effective Cloud-based Content Delivery Network

“…Problems associated with excessive channel capacity usage are also one topic of investigation in existing schemes, which affects the content delivery process over cloud-hosted applications. Research in this direction has been carried out by Khabbiza et al [13], where the case study of multimedia streaming has been considered. According to this solution, the traffic is directed towards the adjacent node instead of the central server, thereby controlling the servers' load.…”
