Due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services. Moreover, the user can service the participatory video broadcasting service in the mobile device and it can be used to deliver the real-time news and more variety information in the user side. Live multimedia service of user participation should consider not only the video quality but also the delay bounds and continuity of video playback for improving the user perceived QoS (Quality of Service) of streaming service. In this paper, we propose an adaptive rate control scheme, called DeBuG (Delay Bounds Guaranteed), to guarantee the delay bounds and continuity of video playback for the real-time streaming in mobile devices. In order to provide those, the proposed scheme has a quality adaptation function based on the transmission buffer status and network status awareness. It also has a selective frame dropper, which is based on the media priority, before the transmission video frames. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

최근 네트워크 기술의 발달과 모바일 기기 성능의 향상으로 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스는 음성과 영상을 실시간으로 주고받는 서비스로 지연에 민감한 특성을 가진다. 따라서 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스의 품질을 보장하기 위해서는 재생 지연한계를 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스의 단대단 지연한계를 보장하기 위해서 네트워크와 송신버퍼 그리고 수신버퍼에서 발생하는 지연을 고려하여 전송률을 조절하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 송신버퍼와 수신버퍼에 지연한계를 설정하고 이를 보장하기 위해 전송률을 조절함으로써 지연한계와 재생의 연속성을 보장하였다. 실험을 통해 본 논문이 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스의 단대단 지연한계를 보장함을 보였다.

Virtualization service processes all operation including the data creation, storing, and disposal in a server and transmits processed data as the streaming media form. Therefore, client can use the same environment as the traditional desktop environment without considering the type of device. Virtualization service should consider not only the video quality but also the delay bounds and continuity of video playback for improving the user perceived Quality of Service(QoS) of streaming service. In this paper, we propose a network-adaptive transmission architecture that focuses on guaranteeing QoS requirements for virtualization service. In order to provide those, the proposed architecture have the transmission rate adaptation function based on available bandwidth and the content bit-rate control function based on sender buffer state. Through each function, proposed architecture guarantee the delay bounds and continuity of virtualization contents playback. The simulation results show that proposed network-adaptive transmission architecture provides a improve performance of throughput and transmission delay.

Using hourly SMP data from 2016 to 2020, this paper measures the weekly realized volatility and investigates the main force of its determinants. To this end, we extend the Bayesian variable selection by incorporating the regime-switching model which identifies important variables among a large number of predictors by regimes. We find that the increase in coal and nuclear generation, as well as solar power, reinforce the SMP volatility in both high volatility and low volatility regime. In contrast the increase in gas generation and gas price decrease SMP volatility when SMP volatility is high. These results suggest that the expansion of renewable energy according to 2050 Carbon Neutrality or energy transition policies increases SMP volatility but the increase in the gas generation or reduction of coal generation might offset its impact.

Energy shortage is being exacerbated due to the increase of energy consumption and depletion of fossil fuels. In order to release the energy crisis, new types of energy resources such as small hydropower, solar power, wind power and biomass have been already developed or actively researched. Recently, osmotic power, which harvests energy from salinity gradient between seawater and fresh water, is considered as a feasible candidate. Among the osmotic power processes, pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is widely gaining attention because of no emission of carbon dioxide and less sensitivity to the external environmental conditions. However, PRO process is facing difficulties such as the lack of specialized PRO membrane and optimization technologies. Therefore, PRO was reviewed in this paper in terms of theoretical background, membrane development, process development and fouling mechanism to provide insights and suggest the future direction of PRO research.

In this paper we discuss the effect of the delay limit and the packet size related to the quality of service on a VoIP system using the Internet. We also provide a guideline to determining the optimal packet size of the voice data for a given delay limit. Empirical studies are done with two personal computers connected through the packet switched public IP network. The sender encodes the voice signal from the microphone to get PCM and ADPCM data and sends the data to the receiver using UDP packets. The receiver plays the reconstructed voice from the stream with lost and delayed packets. The quality of the reconstructed voice is evaluated offline by the MNB (Measuring Normal Block) method using the data acquired from the both sides. The result shows that under the delay limit of 100ms for 40Kbps, 32Kbps and l6Kbps of ADPCM data, the minimum packet size should be 300bytes, 400bytes and 600bytes respectively and the maximum packet size should be l200bytes commonly for the best quality of voice.

본 논문에서는 사용자가 보다 간편하게 볼류메트릭 비디오를 소비할 수 있도록 볼류메트릭 비디오 기본 플레이어를 구현하고, 구현한 플레이어에 대하여 성능평가를 진행한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 볼류메트릭 비디오 플레이어는 Draco 와 V-PCC 를 복호화기로 지원하며, 압축 전의 포인트 클라우드 데이터와 Draco 와 V-PCC 로 압축한 비트스트림에 대하여 성능 평가를 진행하였다. 플레이어의 성능을 평가한 결과를 통해 초기 충분한 량의 프레임을 버퍼에 확보할 만큼의 초기 지연시간을 설정하지 않는 이상, 볼류메트릭 비디오를 30fps 이상으로 소비하기에는 어려움이 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 토대로 현재 볼류메트릭 비디오 재생을 위한 기술적 한계를 살펴보고, 볼류메트릭 비디오 플레이어의 성능 향상을 위한 향후 연구개발 방향에 대하여 논의한다.

The standard streaming delivery Is mostly based on UDP with no end-to-end congestion control. For this reason, wide usage of multimedia applications in Internet might lead to congested networks. To avoid such a situation, studies on the congestion controlled streaming delivery has been increasingly done after the 1990s. However, by considering only the stability aspect of network, these works ignore the characteristics of multimedia streaming applications. Moreover, most of previous works have no consideration on the network delay which produces an effect on streaming service. In this thesis, in order to overcome limitations of the previous transmission schemes for streaming, we propose a new transmission scheme called 'BEST(Buffer-driven Efficient STreaming)'. The BEST takes a hybrid approach that considers both user-level requirements and network-level requriements. Therefore, the BEST improves the stability of networks by adjusting the sending rate suitable for network status and it also provides the smoothed playback by preventing buffer underflow or overflow. The BEST is designed to consider high-delay networks. Through the simulation, we prove that the BEST satisfies both user-level and network-level requirements in a high-delay network environments.
