A Study on The Smoothing Method for Efficient Video Stream Transmission on ATM Network.

ATM 망에서 효율적인 비디오 스트림 전송을 위한 Smoothing 방법에 관한 연구

As multimedia communication services have been widely spreading, the amount of video traffic is rapidly increasing in B-ISDN environment based on the ATM technology. The image quality of MPEG services is very sensitive to the cell losses in ATM network, since each cell contains information needed at decoding process. Since the number of cells in each frame of MPEG is variable, this video smoothing technology need to prepare a buffer for no overflow or underflow at the transmission, requires that some number of cells be taken to the buffer in client before the playback of video. To ensure the high quality image of video, the video smoothing is scheduled by a Group of Picture unit. In this paper, we then apply the theory to reds nightmare encoded in MPEG, and find minimum smoothing buffer size, initial buffer size. It can be used to study the smoothing of stored video.
