Waiting Time versus Utility to Download Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The utility of a contents delivery network depends on the waiting time. This paper deals with the priority control of contents delivery networks from the viewpoint of utility. First, a subjective evaluation experiment on image downloading is carried out to obtain the relationship between the waiting time and the utility. From the results, a function of the utility versus the waiting time is estimated. Then, this function is applied to the optimization of the priority control of an image delivery system. This system has two classes, and it is analyzed by computer simulation. The ratio of high priority packets to low priority packets is changed as a parameter, and the total utility of all users is maximized. The total utility of a two-class system is shown to be higher than that of a one-class system.

Progressive Download for 3 G Wireless
This study focuses on the gain of using progressive download instead of legacy download for streamable media files for wireless multicasting networks. With progressive download, the media content can be played after some waiting time, while the downloading still continues in the background. We focus on 3GPP’s wireless multimedia broadcast multicast system (MBMS). First we provide a legacy MBMS ...
متن کاملAn Investigation into Factors Associated with Web Page Download Delay
Since the Mosaic browser was introduced with its ability to display images, there has been a proliferation in the number of Web pages using a combination of text and image-heavy design with the use of images contributing heavily to slow-loading sites. Studies have shown that surfers spend a lot of time waiting impatiently for Web pages to emerge on the screen, and HCI guidelines indicate that 1...
متن کاملEfficiency of repeated network interactions
In this paper we consider a network with interactions by two users. Each of them repeatedly issues download requests on the network. These requests may be unsuccessful due to congestion or non-congestion related errors. A user decides when to cancel a request (that is, what his impatience threshold is) and how long to wait before reissuing his request after cancellation of the previous request ...
متن کاملMaximizing Utility of Multi-Class Contents Delivery Considering their Attributes
In the contents delivery service, the user’s utility depends on the waiting time to get the contents. According to the former studies, the utility decreases nonlinearly in accordance with the increase of the waiting time. In the contents delivery network, various kinds of contents are delivered, and they have various attributes. The decreasing rate of the utility against the increase of the wai...

Background: To reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the Computerized Tomography (CT) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. This can be followed during dose delivery procedure as Image Guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor ...
