    Abstract :

    the use of Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) deployments in the consumer electronics market is developing among the people in last some years. In IPTV, Quality of Experience (QoE) is very serious factor for end-subscriber satisfaction. Future and available IPTV systems will provide a large no. of channels to subscribers. The most significant factors that have effects on QoE in IPTV systems are channel selection and channel zapping problems. Normally, the channel zapping time is based on various parameters i.e. network delay time, Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) command processing time, IPTV consumer device processing delay time, MPEG decoder time, jitter buffer delay time and Conditional Access/Digital Rights Management (CA/DRM) delay time. In this paper, we show channel change delay analysis in IPTV systems and we introduce a novel mechanism depending on channel-based peer selection, known as CBPS where the most proper peer to build peer-to-peer (P2P) communication will be found from a look-up table in the central server.
