چکیده

We consider the admission control problem in video servers that retrieve video data from disk storage. Admission control decides whether or not a new client can be accepted without affecting the quality of service promised to the already admitted clients. Assuming variable bit rate (VBR) video streams, we consider an admission control policy that provides statistical service guarantees and evaluate its performance in terms of the number of clients admitted. The admission control criterion needs to take into account how the data are retrieved from disk We assume GCDL retrieval [1] that reads the video data from the disk as several constant size data blocks. We are the first to introduce and analyze statistical admission control with GCDL retrieval and to establish the correspondence between GCDL retrieval and ON-OFF sources in ATM networks.We show that statistical admission control for GCDL, compared to a deterministic admission control, admits up to twice as many clients with one overload event every few hours of video server operation.

Statistical Admission Control in Video Servers with Variable Bit-Rate Streams and Constant Time Length Retrieva

We consider the admission control problem in video servers for the retrieval of media data from disk storage. We assume that the I/O bandwidth of the server disk is limited. Given a certain I/O bandwidth, admission control decides whether or not a new client can be accepted without affecting the quality of service promised to the already admitted clients. Assuming variable bit rate (VBR) video ...

Cost Analyses for VBR Video Servers

In this paper we compare techniques for storage and real-time retrieval of Variable Bit Rate (VBR) video data for multiple simultaneous users. The motivation for considering VBR is that video results in inherently time varying data, and as such, with the same average bit rate, higher quality can be achieved with VBR than with Constant Bit Rate (CBR). We propose and compare the following three c...

A New Class of Constant Data Length Retrieval Algorithms for Video Servers with VBR Streams

We consider the problem of data retrieval from disk storage in video server where the video data are read in constant size blocks. Retrieval algorithms of this type are referred to as Constant Data Length (CDL) retrieval algorithms We recently introduced a new retrieval algorithm called GCDL [3] that generalizes the CDL retrieval algorithm: GCDL reads for a video stream i during , , consecutive...

Constant Data Length Retrieval for Video Servers with Variable Bit Rate Streams

Video servers store digitized, compressed continuous media information on high-capacity secondary or tertiary storage [6]. The secondary storage devices allow random accessible and provide short seek times compared to tertiary storage. Video server design differs significantly from that of traditional data storage servers due to the large size of the objects stored and the real-time requirement...

Deterministic Admission Control Strategies in Video Servers with Variable Bit Rate Streams

Video servers are a key component in multimedia systems. Due to the real-time requirements and high resource demand of digital media, a video server must restrict the number of simultaneously serviced media streams. We consider the admission control problem in video servers for the retrieval of media data from secondary storage. Admission control decides whether or not a new request can be acce...
