Abstract

Broadcast-based data dissemination has become a widely accepted approach of communication in the mobile computing environment. However, with a large set of data items, the expected delay of receiving a desired data increases due to the sequential nature of the broadcast channel. With the objective of minimizing this wait time, this paper explores the problem of data broadcast over multiple channels. In traditional approaches, data items are partitioned based on their access probabilities and allocated on multiple channels, assuming flat data scheduling per channel. If the data items allocated on the same channel are broadcast in different frequencies based on their access probabilities, the performance will be enhanced further. In this respect, this paper proposes a new broadcast scheduling scheme named two level dynamic programming(TLDP) which can reflect a variation of access probabilities among data items allocated on the same channel.

방송 기반의 데이터 전파는 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 보편적으로 받아들여지는 통신 방식이다. 그러나 많은 데이터를 방송해야 할 경우에 방송 채널의 순차성으로 인하여 원하는 데이터를 수신하기까지의 예상 지연시간이 증가한다. 이 대기시간을 줄이기 위하여 본 논문은 다중 채널을 통하여 데이터를 방송하는 문제를 연구한다. 기존의 기법들은 각 채널의 평형 방송을 가정하고 데이터들을 액세스 확률에 근거하여 분할하고 다중 채널에 할당한다. 만일 동일 채널에 할당된 데이터들도 그들의 액세스 확률에 근거하여 방송빈도를 다르게 한다면 성능은 더 향상될 것이다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본 논문은 동일 채널에 할당된 데이터들의 액세스 확률의 차이를 방송 스케줄에 반영할 수 있는 두 단계 동적프로그래밍 기법으로 명명된 새로운 방송 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다.
