This scheme can increase the resource availability. In traditional strategy, in order to guarantee the user's quality of service (QoS), the pre-pushing action can only start at the time point that the certain user has not used the computer for more than 20 minutes. If the user comes back, the pre-pushing action will be stopped. We claim that this is not an efficient scheme. In this paper, we propose a novel pre-pushing scheme to improve the pre-pushing efficiency, while meeting the user's QoS requirements. The basic idea is using the user's available bandwidth as much as possible in the condition of meeting the user's QoS requirements. Then we design an available bandwidth calculating strategy. The numerical simulation demonstrates that our proposed scheme outperforms the traditional one.展开更多
