Many periodic broadcasting schemes for near VoD systems are proposed. Recently non-uniform segmentation schemes have been used to develop periodic broadcasting techniques for near VoD. These techniques give significant reductions in start-up latency as compared with more conventional uniform segmentation. However, all of these schemes assume that the videos are CBR-encoded. Since a CBR-encoded video has a target average tate than an VBR encoding, there is potential to obtain further Performance Improvements by using VBR videos. Unfortunately, however, the studies concerning broadcasting with VBR video ate rare and the existing techniques have the problem of virtual loss. In this paper, we modify Skyscraper Broadcasting Scheme for broadcasting with VBR videos which is a representative non-uniform segmentation scheme lot CBR videos. A VBR video can be transmitted at constant bit rate (CBR) by using prefetching. With this idea we propose Modified Skyscraper Broadcasting Schemes for VBR videos and make performance evaluation by simulation. We show that our schemes have a better performance than Skyscraper Broadcasting Scheme for CBR videos.

near VOU 시스템의 주기적 브로드캐스팅 방식(periodic broadcasting system)으로 여러 가지방법이 제시되었다. 그러나, 대부분 CBR 비디오를 전송하기 위한 방법이다. 요즘의 비디오들은 주고 VHR방식으로 압축되어 있어 VBR 비디오의 브로드캐스팅 기법이 필요하다. 하지만, 이에 대한 연구가 미미한 상태이다. 본 논문에서는 CBR 비디오의 브로드캐스팅 방식의 하나인 SB(Skyscraper Broadcasting)을 수정하여 VBR 비디오를 브로드캐스팅 하는 방법을 제시하였다. 관 논문에서 제시한 방식의 성능 평과 결과, 짧은 초기지연시간과 적은 버퍼가 필요함을 보였다.
