Network-Assisted Management of Power-Efficient Set-Top Boxes for Enhancing User Experience

For the power-efficient set-top boxes, passive-standby mode was proposed as the lowest power mode. However, the power-efficient set-top box in the passive-standby mode provides low quality of user experience (e.g., update problem and latency for full activation). In this paper, network-assisted management method is proposed to enhance user experience by reducing the set-top boxes’ latency for full activation and by facilitating update for the set-top boxes. The network-assisted management enables a set-top box assistance server (SBAS) to analyze the frequently used time of the set-top box and to receive update schedule from the set-top box operator. The SBAS schedules standby modes of the set-top boxes for enhancing user experience by using the frequently used time and update schedule.
