Abstract :
An optimal scheduling algorithm for the delivery of delayable videos is designed. The algorithm consists of two phases. In the packing phase, videos are optimally packed into the free channel profile; in the scheduling phase, the packed videos segments are advanced for transmission to keep all channels busy. The optimality of the rule is proved, and a comparison with the due-time-order and slack-time-order scheduling algorithms are made through an example
