Broadcasting dependent data for ordered queries without replication in a multi-channel mobile environment
Jiun‐Long Huang, Ming-Syan Chen⋆, Wen-Chih Peng · 2004
In several mobile applications, the data items broadcast are dependent upon one another. However, most prior studies on broadcasting dependent data mainly consider single broadcast channel environments. In view of this, we explore the problem of broadcasting dependent data in multiple broadcast channels. By analyzing the model of dependent data broadcasting, we derive several theoretical properties for the average access time in a multiple channel environment. In light of the theoretical results, we develop a genetic algorithm to generate broadcast programs.
