초록

MPEG-21 멀티미디어 프레임워크는 다양한 종류의 네트워크와 장치들이 멀티미디어 자원을 보다 효율적으로 전달하고 사용할 수 있도록 지원하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다. MPEG-21의 주요한 목표 중 하나는 서로 다른 기종의 단말기기에서 동일한 가독성을 보여주는 멀티미디어 스트리밍(streaming)을 지원하기 위해서 디지털 아이템 적응(digital item adaptation, DIA)을 통한 광범위한 멀티미디어 접근성, 다시 말해서 UMA (universal multimedia access)를 구현하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-21 디지털 아이템 적응을 이용하여 단말기기의 전력 소모를 절감할 수 있는 방법을 최초로 소개한다. MPEG-21 멀티미디어 프레임워크는 처음부터 단말기기의 전력 소모 절감을 목적으로 설계된 것이 아니기 때문에, 단말기기.의 전력 소모에 관련된 상세한 정보를 제공할 수는 없지만 몇 가지 제한된 정보는 현 시점에서도 이용가능하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 정보를 이용하여 MPEG-21 디지털 아이템 적응 표준을 따르는 여러 가지 전력 소모 절감 기법들을 제시하고, 각각의 전력 소모 절감 기법들 사이의 상호 의존 관계를 밝히고자 한다. 본 논문에서 소개한 전력 소모 절감 기법들을 단말기기에 적용하면 멀티미디어 서비스의 품질을 거의 손상시키지 않으면서 휴대용 멀티미디어 기기의 소비 전력을 최대 $66\%$까지 줄일 수 있다.

The MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework initiative aims to support a wide range of networks and devices in the delivery and consumption of multimedia resources. One of the primary goals of MPEG-21 is universal multimedia access (UMA) through Digital Item Adaptation (DIA), which supports multimedia streaming to heterogeneous devices ensurung the same readability and seamlessness. We pioneer power saving of luminal devices with MPEG-21 DIA, so that the MPEG-21 DIA can also be used to support power saving, even though the framework is not primarily designed for power reduction and only limited power awareness is defined by DIA. We introduce several power-saving techniques conforming to MPEG-21 DIA specifications and show the dependency relation among introduced techniques. We achieve energy savings of up to $66\%$ in hand-held multimedia devices with minor QoS (quality of service) degradation.
