Abstract
This paper presents an effective IPTV channel control algorithm considering network utilization and channel zapping time. The proposed algorithm keeps maximum average channel zapping time of each subscriber in the tolerable range with low network bandwidth usage by adjusting the type of each channel and the number of additional intra frames inserted into each channel. Finally, experimental results are provided to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.
