Time-Stamped Equal Size Segmentation and Chunk Scheduling Algorithms for SVC Based P2P Streaming Systems

We propose a novel segmentation algorithm TSESS and a novel chunk scheduling algorithm TSESCS for SVC based P2P streaming systems. TSESS splits each layer into equal sized chunks and tags each chunk with a time-stamp. TSESCS is based on TSESS and adopts two scheduling windows with adaptive strategies. Compared with traditional segmentation algorithm and chunk scheduling algorithms, our TSESS and TSESCS algorithms can achieve better video quality on clients in heterogeneous network environments.
