Abstract

Real-time video streaming scheme for multimedia content delivery and remote conference services is one of technologies that are significantly sensitive to data transmission delay. Recently, because of COVID-19, real-time video streaming contents for the services are significantly increased such as personal broadcasting and remote school class. In order to support the services, there is a growing emphasis on low transmission delay and secure content delivery, respectively. Therefore, our research proposed a packet aggregation algorithm to reduce the transmission delay of selectively encrypted video transmission for real-time video streaming services. Through the application of the proposed algorithm, the selectively encrypted video framework can control the amount of MPEG-2 TS packets for low latency transmission with a consideration of packet priorities. Evaluation results on testbed show that the application of the proposed algorithm to the video framework can reduce approximately 11% of the transmission delay for high and low resolution video.

실시간 비디오 스트리밍은 컨텐츠 전달 및 원격회의 등에 사용되는 기술로, 전송지연에 민감한 기술 중 하나이다. 최근 코로나바이러스 감염증(COVID-19)으로 인해 개인방송/원격회의와 같은 개인이 제작 및 이용하는 컨텐츠들이 증가하면서, 실시간 비디오 스트리밍 시 전송지연 저감과 더불어 스트리밍 되는 컨텐츠에 대한 보호의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 실시간 비디오 스트리밍에 선별적 비디오 암호화 방법을 적용할 경우 발생하는 전송지연을 저감하기 위한 패킷 응집 관련 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안 방법은 선별적 비디오 암호화 프레임워크에서 패킷 단위로 재배치된 비디오 데이터 전송 시 한 번에 전송되는 크기의 조절이 가능하도록 개선하였으며, 실제 테스트베드를 통한 실험결과는 제안 방법 적용 시 기존대비 전송지연을 약 11% 저감할 수 있음을 보여주었다.
