Optimization of Real Time Scheduling Using Ant Colony in Multimedia Streaming

Abstract

Multimedia streaming requires real time scheduling for e ective management of video frames during transmission.Real-Time scheduling is a np problem[12],[14].In multi- media application, it is not necessary for every instance of a repetitive task to meet its deadline as loss of certain frames in multimedia streams does not cause a signif- icant QoS degradation. So multimedia streams may have soft rm deadlines. Be- cause of the complexity of the network and real-time stream video on demand, the scheduling algorithm has great in uence on the QoS. Analysis and experiments of researchers show that Real Time Media Streaming is NP Hard Problem[14]. Swarm Intelligence[20] has proved to be an efficient technique for Optimization of the scheduling process.Implementation of ACO for scheduling provide better optimal solution in heterogenous environment also.
