An Adaptive Control Method in the Hybrid Wireless Broadcast Environment

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate adaptive control for broadcast scheduling and base station caching in the hybrid wireless broadcast (HWB) environment. The proposed adaptive method can adapt well to different access conditions and bandwidth capabilities and adequately exploit the three data delivery modes: push-based broadcast, pull- based broadcast, and pull-based point-to-point communication. Simulation studies demonstrated that our proposed method achieves significant performance improvement in average waiting time and success rate.
