This book presents a framework for a new hybrid scheduling strategy for heterogeneous, asymmetric telecommunication environments. It discusses comparative advantages and disadvantages of push, pull, and hybrid transmission strategies, together with practical consideration and mathematical reasoning.
Recent advancement and increasing growth in web technologies has resulted in the need for efficient scheduling strategies. Data Scheduling and Transmission Strategies in Asymmetric Telecommunications Environments provides complete coverage of both push-based and pull-based systems. This book presents an ideal model of hybrid scheduling that combines push and pull strategies in asymmetric environments. It addresses important factors in transmission strategies such as client impatience and selection criteria. An online hybrid solution for the multi-channel broadcast problem is also proposed. In addition, the text discusses service classification for differentiated quality of service.
