Chapter 6: Broadcast Systems • Unidirectional distribution systems • DAB • architecture • DVB • Container • High-speed Internet access 1 Unidirectional broadcast (distribution) systems Extreme version of asymmetric communication environments • bandwidth limitations of the transmission medium • depends on applications, type of information • examples – wireless networks with base station and mobile terminals – client-server environments (diskless terminal) – cable TV with set-top box – information services (pager, SMS) 2 Unidirectional broadcast systems Special case of asymmetric communication systems • high bandwidth from server to client (downstream), but no bandwidth vice versa (upstream) • problems of unidirectional broadcast systems – a sender can optimize transmitted information only for one group of users/terminals – functions needed to individualize personal requirements/applications (e.g. user-defined filter function) 3 Structuring transmissions - broadcast disk Sender • cyclic repetition of data blocks • different patterns possible (optimization possible only if the content is known) flat disk(平型盘) A B C A B C skewed disk(倾斜盘) A A B C A A multi-disk(多重盘) A B A C A B 4 Structuring transmissions - broadcast disk Receiver • use of caching – cost-based strategy: what are the costs for a user (waiting time) if a data block has been requested but is currently not cached – application and cache have to know content of data blocks
