Many emerging technologies such as video conferencing,
video-on-demand, and digital libraries require the efficient
delivery of compressed video streams. For applications that require
the delivery of compressed stored multimedia streams, the a priori
knowledge available about these compressed streams can aid in the
allocation of server and network resources. By using a client-side
buffer, the resource requirements from the server and network can
be minimized. Buffering Techniques for Delivery of Compressed Video
in Video-on-Demand Systems presents a comprehensive description of
buffering techniques for the delivery of compressed, prerecorded
multimedia data. While these techniques can be applied to any
compressed data streams, this book focusses primarily on the
delivery of video streams because of the large resource
requirements that they can consume. The book first describes
buffering techniques for the continuous playback of stored video
sources. In particular, several bandwidth smoothing (or buffering)
algorithms that are provably optimal under certain conditions are
presented. To provide a well-rounded discussion, the book then
describes extensions that aid in the ability to provide interactive
delivery of video across networks. Specifically, reservation
techniques that take into account interactive functions such as
fast-forward and rewind are described. In addition, extensions to
the bandwidth smoothing algorithms presented in the first few
chapters are described. These algorithms are designed with
interactive, continuous playback of stored video in mind and are
also provably optimal under certain constraints. Buffering
Techniques for Delivery of Compressed Video in Video-on-Demand
Systems serves as an excellent resource for multimedia systems,
networking and video-on-demand designers, and may be used as a text
for advanced courses on the topic.
