Sequence Of Linear Programming For Transmission Of Fine-Scalable Coded Content In Bandwidth-Limited Environments, Xiao Su, Tao Wang

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we propose an optimal peer assignment algorithm on peer-to-peer networks. This algorithm is designed to maximize the quality of transmitting fine-scalable coded content by exploiting the embedding property of scalable coding. To be more realistic, we assume that the requesting peer has a delay constraint to display the content within a certain delay bound, and it also has limited incoming bandwidth. We first use a simple example to illustrate the peer assignment problem, and then formulate this problem as a linear programming problem, followed by a nonlinear programming problem. To efficiently solve the second nonlinear problem, we …
