Compression-based broadcast strategies in wireless information systems

Abstract

Data delivery is through broadcast in wireless information systems due to the asymmetric communication property. However, broadcasting data easily wastes large access time because the large amount of data pages needs to be broadcast. In this paper we propose three compression-based strategies considering access order to reduce access time. Then, the expected access time of three proposed strategies is also derived by using the probability model. Our analytic and experimental results show that the compression-based broadcast strategies can dramatically reduce the access time for mobile users (MU).
