Definition:Harmonic broadcasting divides a video into equal-size segments.
Harmonic broadcasting (HB) [1] was initiated to divide the video into N equal-size segments and transmit them into logical channels of decreasing bandwidth. As illustrated in Figure 1, the i th videosegment is put on the i th channel with a bandwidth of C/i. Client starts receiving data from each segment stream after it begins to download the first segment of the video.
