With the growth of broadband networks and multimedia technology, Video-on-Demand (VoD) has become realistic. Multicast delivery is one of the solutions to reduce the cost in Video-on-Demand (VoD) systems. In order to reduce the viewer’s waiting time for a large number of requests, an efficient Near VoD approach for hot video is a Broadcasting method. However, previous methods for multicasting systems require the management of a number of video segments, long waiting time, much storage capacity, channel hopping and concurrent channel usage. To solve these problems, we propose a new multicasting method, called the Harmonic Based Patching (HP) scheme which guarantees continuous playback. Proposed method improves a reduction of viewer waiting time and client buffer requirement.
