1CP_RT_J033 IPTV Portal System

ABSTRACT:

Virtualized cloud-based services can take advantage of statistical multiplexing across applications to yield significant cost savings. However, achieving similar savings with real-time services can be a challenge. In this paper, we seek to lower a provider’s costs for real-time IPTV services through a virtualized IPTV architecture and through intelligent time-shifting of selected services. Using Live TV and Video-on-Demand (VoD) as examples, we show that we can take advantage of the different deadlines associated with each service to effectively multiplex these services. We provide a generalized framework for computing the amount of resources needed to support multiple services, without missing the deadline for any service. We construct the problem as an optimization formulation that uses a generic cost function. We consider multiple forms for the cost function (e.g., maximum, convex and concave functions) reflecting the cost of providing the service. The solution to this formulation gives the number of servers needed at different time instants to support these services. We implement a simple mechanism for time-shifting scheduled jobs in a simulator and study the reduction in server load using real traces from an operational IPTV network. Our results show that we are able to reduce the load by (compared to a possible as predicted by the optimization framework).

EXISTING SYSTEM:

Servers in the VHO serve VoD using unicast, while Live TV is typically multicast from servers using IP Multicast. When users change channels while watching live TV, we need to provide additional functionality so that the channel change takes effect quickly. For each channel change, the user has to join the multicast group associated with the channel, and wait for enough data to be buffered before the video is displayed; this can take some time. As a result, there have been many attempts to support instant channel change by mitigating the user perceived channel switching latency

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

] More Waiting Time

] More Switching latency

] Not Cost effective

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

We propose a) To use a cloud computing infrastructure with virtualization to handle the combined workload of multiple services flexibly and dynamically, b) To either advance or delay one service when we anticipate a change in the workload of another service, and c) To provide a general optimization framework for computing the amount of resources to support multiple services without missing the deadline for any service.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In this paper, we consider two potential strategies for serving VoD requests. The first strategy is a postponement based strategy. In this strategy, we assume that each chunk for VoD has a deadline seconds after the request for that chunk. This would let the user play the content up to seconds after the request. The second strategy is an advancement based strategy. In this strategy, we assume that requests for all chunks in the VoD content are made when the user requests the content. Since all chunks are requested at the start, the deadline for each chunk is different with the first chunk having deadline of zero, the second chunk having deadline of one and so on. With this request pattern, the server can potentially deliver huge amount of content for the user in the same time instant violating downlink bandwidth constraint. 

MODULES DESCRIPTION:

Optimization Framework

An IPTV service provider is typically involved in delivering multiple real time services, such as Live TV, VoD and in some cases, a network-based DVR service. Each unit of data in a service has a deadline for delivery. For instance, each chunk of video file for VoD need to be serviced by its playback deadline so that the playout buffer at the client does not under-run. In this section, we analyze the amount of resources required when multiple real time services with deadlines are deployed in a cloud infrastructure. There have been multiple efforts in the past to analytically estimate the resource requirements for serving arriving requests which have a delay constraint. These have been studied especially in the context of voice, including delivering VoIP packets, and have generally assumed the arrival process is Poisson.

Impact of Cost Functions on Server Requirements

We investigate linear, convex, and concave functions. With convex functions, the cost increases slowly initially and subsequently grows faster. For concave functions, the cost increases quickly initially and then flattens out, indicating a point of diminishing unit costs (e.g., slab or tiered pricing). Minimizing a convex cost function results in averaging the number of servers (i.e., the tendency is to service requests equally throughout their deadlines so as to smooth out the requirements of the number of servers needed to serve all the requests). Minimizing a concave cost function results in finding the extremal points away from the maximum (as shown in the example below) to reduce cost. This may result in the system holding back the requests until just prior to their deadline and serving them in a burst, to get the benefit of a lower unit cost because of the concave cost function (e.g., slab pricing). The concave optimization problem is thus optimally solved by finding boundary points in the server-capacity region of the solution space.

Linear Cost Function

The linear cost represents the total number of servers used. The minimum number of total servers needed is the total number of incoming requests. The optimal strategy is not unique. Any strategy that serves all the requests while meeting the deadline and using a total number of servers equal to the number of service requests is optimal. One strategy for meeting this cost is to set to serve all requests as they arrive. The optimal cost associated with this cost function does not depend on the deadline assigned to each service class.
