Recently, many of researches on stream transmission for satisfying each of different real-time transmission condition of the multimedia data that demands various service quality through high-speed networks have been studied actively. In this paper, we design a scheme that discriminately reserves the network resources for the transmission of each multimedia application and propose a bandwidth allocation scheme for improving the utilization ratio of free resources. And we also propose a pipelining scheme for providing flexible real-time transmission. The proposed schemes can be used to support a real-time transmission by applying feedback transmission control method based on receiving buffer for guaranteeing the synchronization conditions requested by the multimedia data. Moreover, we propose a transmission control scheme that can take the amount of network resources down to the minimum amount within the range of permissible error-range under the guarantee with no quality degradation simultaneously when the bottleneck is caused by the network congestion. Finally, we propose a dynamic bandwidth smoothing scheme that can smooth the maximum bandwidth to the demand of each video steam for giving continuous transmission to the delay sensitive video steam between senders and receivers.

Many applications in cluster computing require QoS (Quality of Service) services. Since performance predictability is essential to provide QoS service, underlying systems must provide predictable performance guarantees. One way to ensure such guarantees from network subsystems is to generate global schedules from applications'network requests and to execute the local portion of the schedules at each network interface. To ensure accurate execution of the schedules, it is essential that a global time base must be maintained by local clocks at each network interface. The task of providing a single time base is called a synchronization problem and this paper addresses the problem for system area networks. To solve the synchronization problem, FM-QoS (1) proposed a simple synchronization mechanism called FBS(Feedback-Based Synchronization) which uses built-in How control signals. This paper extends the basic notion of FM-QoS to a theoretical framework and generalizes it: 1) to identify a set of built-in network flow control signals for synchrony and to formalize it as a synchronizing schedule, and 2) to analyze the synchronization precision of FBS in terms of flow control parameters. Based on generalization, two application classes are studied for a single switch network and a multiple switch network. For each class, a synchroniring schedule is proposed and its bounded skew is analyzed. Unlike FM-QoS, the synchronizing schedule is proven to minimize the bounded skew value for a single switch network. To understand the analysis results in practical networks, skew values are obtained with flow control parameters of Myrinet-1280/SAN. We observed that the maximum bounded skew of FBS is 9.2 Usec or less over all our experiments. Based on this result, we came to a conclusion that FBS was a feasible synchronization mechanism in system area networks.

In this paper, an adaptive multimedia synchronization scheme for VOD (Video On Demand) services in internet environments is proposed. This scheme considers the characteristics of MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) system stream. Consequently, the intra-synchronization is handled at the pack layer, and the inter-synchronization is handled at the packet layer. The proposed scheme can cope adaptively with variation of packet loss, jitter and client's playback capacity. If there are variations of the packet loss or client's playback capacity, the server will change the transmission rate by selective picture skip. The client can then adjust and control the playback time according to the variation of the network jitter. Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme can quickly adapt to the network condition, and can guarantee a better quality of service than the other existing schemes.

Synchronizations of intra${\cdot}$intermedia for the lecture presentation in distributed multimedia environments are difficult to guarantee accurate temporal relationship between media, due to the asynchronous errors such as the delay or loss of transferred data or the transmission characteristics of each media. The jitter phenomenon occurs when the network delay has the media arrival rate abnormal because the intra-media synchronization reflects the presentation rate. And the cumulative effective of jitters on a per media stream basis results in a skew. This phenomenon cause confusion to contents recognition of learners due to network delay and can not provide effective interaction of sender and receiver in the distance education. Therefore, this paper can be solution to problems due to network delay by maintaining the requirements of temporal relationship between more than one media. And this paper enables to suggest the inter-media synchronization method that is subject to be influenced by presentation rate, and to implement lecture presentation system for distance education.

In this paper, we present a new framework and stream synchronization mechanism to effectively support developing real-time multimedia streaming services by using a real-time object model named TMO (Time-triggered Message-triggered Object). The purpose of the framework is twofold. Firstly, the framework helps developers to design complex distributed real-time multimedia streaming services. Secondly, it supports timely streaming facilities. In order to achieve these goals, our framework is consist of Multimedia Streaming TMO, MMStreaming TMO Support Library and TMO Support Middleware. The time-triggered spontaneous feature of the MMStream TMO and a global-time based synchronization scheme is used as a regulator against the irregular deliveries and processing of media units caused by QoS non-guaranteed systems and communication channels. In conclusion, timely service capability of our framework is expected to contributed to overall enhancement of the real-time multimedia streaming.

In this paper, a synchronized stream encryption system for secure link layer communication in a radio channel is designed. Interleaving scheme which is used to enhance the transmission performance over a fading channel is applied to the encrypted information. A designed synchronous scream cipher system consists of a keystream generator, a synchronization pattern generator and a session key generator. The structure of a synchronous stream cipher system with periodic synchronization is composed of the encrypted information which consists of a synchronization pattern, an error correcting coded session key, an encrypted data in a period of synchronization. In this paper, interleaving scheme using dynamic allocation a1gorithm(DAA) is applied the encrypted information. The BER of the DAA has been slightly higher than that of the SAA(static allocation algorithm).

Compressed still image or video bitstreams require protection from channel errors in a wireless channel. Embedded Zerotree Coding(EZW), SPIHT could have provided unprecedented high performance in image compression with low complexity. If bit error is generated by dint of wireless channel transmission problem, the loss of synchronization on between encoder and decoder causes serious performance degradation. But wavelet zerotree coding algorithms are producing variable-length codewords, extremely sensitive to bit errors. The idea is to partition the lifting coefficients. A many partition of lifting transform coefficients distributes channel error from wireless channel to each partition. Therefore synchronization problem that caused quality deterioration in still image and video stream was improved.

최근의 멀티미디어 기술은 정보의 디지털화와 온라인화에 따라 가전, 컴퓨터, 통신 및 방송 기술이 융화되어 가는 추세에 있으며, 대화형의 하이브리드 멀티미디어 기술을 그 특징으로 하고있다. 하이브리드 멀티미디어는 컴퓨터 그래픽 및 미디(MIDI) 기술로 인위적으로 생성한 2D/3D그래픽 및 음향을 실제의 자연적인 영상과 소리에 추가하여 합성하므로 생성된다. MPEG-4는 이렇게 인위적으로 합성되거나 자연적인 영상 혹은 음향 정보의 디지털 하이브리드 멀티미디어 부호화를 목적으로 하며, 활성화된 혼합 미디어의 내용기반 처리, 상호, 동작 및 사용자의 쉬운 접근 등을 가능하게 한다. SNHC(Synthetic-Natural Hybrid Coding)는 기존의 수동적인 미디어의 전달뿐 아니라 실시간 처리가 가능한 인터랙티브 응용 분야까지 다루고 있으며, 통합된 시공간 부호화 기법을 사용하여 시각, 청각, 2차원, 3차원 컴퓨터 그래픽스 등 다양한 형태의 표준 AV(Aural/Visual) 객체를 처리한다. 표준화는 주로mesh-segmented 비디오 부호화, 구조물 부호화, 객체간의 동기화, AV 객체 스트림의 멀티플렉싱, 혼합 미디어 형태의 시-공간 통합화 등에서 이루어지게 되는데, 이는 궁극적으로 네트워크로 연결되는 가상 환경(Virtual Environment)에서 다수의 사용자가 서로 상호작용 할 수 있는 틀을 제공하는데 있다. 이러한 틀이 제공되면, 대화형 하이브리드 멀티미디어라는 새로운 형태의 정보를 사용함으로써 기존의 미디어로는 경험하지 못하는 다양한 응용과 서비스를 경험할 수 있을 것이다.
