Abstract
Since the internet is intend to be the best effort service, the system that stream a large amount of high quality medias need a techniques to overcome the network status for implementation. In this paper, we design and implement a method that estimate quickly whether network permits the needed bandwidth of media and a method that control QoS through that. Presented system uses Relative One-Way Delay(ROWD) trend in the case of the former, and leverages temporal encoding among Scalable Video Coding(SVC) that is apt to apply real time comparatively in the case of the latter. The streaming server classifies the medias by real time to several rates and begins transmission from top-level and is reported ROWD trend periodically from the client. In case of the server reported only 'Increase Trend', the sever decides that the current media exceeds the available bandwidth and downgrades the next media level. The system uses probe packet of difference quantity of the target level and the present level for upgrading the media level. In case of the server reported only 'No Increase Trend' by the ROWD trend response of the probe packet from client, the media level is upgraded. The experiment result in a fiber to the home(FTTH) environment shows progress that proposed system adapts faster in change of available bandwidth and shows that quality of service also improves.
