This paper studies the conditions under which peer-to-peer (P2P) technology may be beneficial in providing IPTV services over
typical network architectures. It has three major contributions. First, we contrast two network models used to study the performance
of such a system: a commonly used logical “Internet as a cloud” model and a “physical” model that reflects the characteristics
of the underlying network. Specifically, we show that the cloud model overlooks important architectural aspects of the network
and may drastically overstate the benefits of P2P technology. Second, we propose an algorithm called Zebra that pre-stripes
content across multiple peers during idle hours to speed up P2P content delivery in an IPTV environment with limited upload
bandwidth. We also perform simulations to measure Zebra’s effectiveness at reducing load on the content server during peak
hours. Third, we provide a cost-benefit analysis of P2P video content delivery, focusing on the profit trade-offs for different
pricing/incentive models rather than purely on capacity maximization. In particular, we find that under high volume of video
demand, a P2P built-in incentive model performs better than any other model, while the conventional no-P2P model generates
more profits when the request rate is low. The flat-reward model generally falls in between the usage-based model and the
built-in model in terms of profitability except for low request rates. We also find that built-in and flat-reward models are
more profitable than the usage-based model for a wide range of subscriber community sizes.

iMobile is an enterprise mobile service platform that allows resource-limited mobile devices to communicate with each other and to securely access corporate contents and services. The original iMobile architecture consists of devlets that provide protocol interfaces to different mobile devices and infolets that access and transcode information based on device profiles. iMobile Enterprise Edition (iMobile EE) is a redesign of the original iMobile architecture to address the security, scalability, and availability requirements of a large enterprise such as AT&T. iMobile EE incorporates gateways that interact with corporate authentication services, replicated iMobile servers with backend connections to corporate services, a reliable message queue that connects iMobile gateways and servers, and a comprehensive service profile database that governs operations of the mobile service platform. The iMobile EE architecture was also extended to provide personalized multimedia services, allowing mobile users to remotely control, record, and request video contents. iMobile EE aims to provide a scalable, secure, and modular software platform that makes enterprise services easily accessible to a growing list of mobile devices roaming among various wireless networks. 相似文献

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been synthesized by wet chemical processing from four different zinc precursor materials at room temperature. Synthesis of phase pure material with four different morphologies and orientations have been confirmed through different characterization techniques like, X-ray diffraction, field emission SEM, fourier transformed IR etc. The band gap energies of the synthesized materials were within specific semiconductor limits and the same have been determined from UV–Visible and photoluminescence spectra of the synthesized nanostructured ZnO materials. Thus it is possible to control ZnO nanostructures and morphologies through facile room temperature synthesis and tailor their band gaps for different application purposes. 相似文献

IPTV, unlike Internet TV, delivers digital TV and multimedia services over IP-based networks with the required level of quality
of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE). Linear programming channels in IPTV are delivered through multicast, which
is highly scalable with the number of subscribers. Video-on-demand (VoD) content, on the other hand, is typically delivered
using unicast, which places a heavy load on the VoD servers and all the network components leading to the end-user set-top
boxes (STBs) as the demand increases. With the rapid growth of IPTV subscribers and the shift in video viewing habits, the
need to efficiently disseminate large volumes of VoD content has prompted IPTV service providers to consider the use of STBs
to assist in video content delivery. This paper describes our current research work on Zebroid, a potential VoD solution for
fiber-to-the-node (FTTN) networks, which uses IPTV data on a recurring basis to determine how to select, stripe, and preposition
popular content in selected STBs during idle hours. A STB requesting VoD content during the peak hours can then receive necessary
stripes from participating STBs in the neighborhood. Recent VoD request access patterns, STB availability data, and capacity
data on network components are taken into consideration in determining the parameters used in the striping algorithm of Zebroid.
We show both by simulation and emulation on a realistic IPTV testbed that the VoD server load can be reduced by more than
70% during peak hours by allocating only 8 GB of storage on each STB. The savings achieved through Zebroid would also allow
IPTV service providers to add more linear programming channels without expensive infrastructure upgrades. 相似文献

Radio frequency identification (RFID) provides a more convenient and automatic approach for object identification than traditional
universal product code-based barcode technology. However, radio communications are naturally unreliable and inevitably lead
to unreliable object identification, which in turn encumber some special applications demanding large-scale deployment of
RFID, even though many RFID applications have been emerging recent years. This paper discusses object identification reliability.
We first list factors that could cause false readings and lead to unreliable object identification. Then we provide five definitions
that directly and formally define object identification reliability. Based on these reliability-related definitions, a general
framework for guaranteeing object identification reliability is proposed in this paper. Existing schemes for reliability improved
are briefly compared within this framework. 相似文献
