1. Data Broadcasting and Seamless Channel Transition for Highly Demanded Videos Yu-Chee Tseng, Ming-Hour Yang, Chi-Ming Hsieh, Wen-Hwa Liau and Jang-Ping Sheu IEEE Transactions on Communications, May 2001

2. Objective Perform channel transition seamlessly.

3. Fast Broadcasting (FB)

4. Data Padding

5. Data Padding (continued)

6. Arrangement of Channel Contents

7. Arrangement of Channel Contents (shifted)

8. Seamless Channel Transition Positive channel transition (PCT) Negative channel transition (NCT)

9. Positive Channel Transition

10. Negative Channel Transition

11. Bandwidth Waste

12. Average Waiting Time

13. Channel Allocation Policy K: total channels. V 1,V 2, …,V m : videos. D 1,D 2, …,D m : lengths of videos. λ i : request arrival rate of V i. k i : channels assigned to V i.

14. Conclusion The authors modify the FB scheme to achieve a seamless channel transition. The channel allocation policy is also formulated.
