The rapid growth of technology for network and terminal devices is able to service multimedia contents in mobile environments. But as the environment of networks and the performance of devices is varied, the same quality service is very difficult to be provided for user in internet and mobile environment. Therefore, multimedia streaming system must provide an adaptive service in considering network and device environment. Video transcoding techniques are the good solution that can provide video streaming service in various network environments adaptively. This paper proposes a dynamic frame-skipping transcoding scheme to provide adaptive streaming service in various network environments. This scheme uses the prediction period for transcoding. A proposed transcoding scheme can reduce time complexity through combination of prediction period and skipping period to control frame-skipping rate in encoder. In simulation results, the performance of proposed scheme is similar to the performance of a traditional dynamic frame-skipping scheme in PSNR value. But the performance of proposed scheme outperforms the performance of traditional scheme in time complexity.

Multimedia is a very popular service in the Internet. But, we cannot provide multimedia service at a uniform content, because networks and devices are various. Thus, an adaptive service is needed for multimedia transmission. Video Transcoding is the good solution that can service multimedia adaptively. This paper proposes the streaming system that is composed of encoder, transcoder, decoder The encoder enhanced time complexity and PSNR in case of transcoding using PP(Prediction Period). The decoder is almost same as the traditional media player. Transcoder reduced time complexity through combination of prediction period in encoder and skipping period to control frame rate in transcoder. In simulation results, the performances of proposed scheme outperform the system with traditional transcoder in time complexity and PSNR.

In this paper, we propose a group playback synchronization method using adaptive synchronization delay time by the bit rate of media to synchronize a play position of streaming media between mobile smart devices. This method consists of streaming server-side and client-side synchronization algorithms based on synchronization delay time which includes connection time, control packet transmission time, streaming data buffering time, and synchronization processing time. We implement the Android media player application with synchronization support using the proposed algorithms and present the result of performance evaluation.

This paper presents and analyzes the performance of a weighted-window based cache replacement policy for the efficient media caching in streaming media cache servers. The proposed policy makes, for each cached object, use of the reference count, reference time, amount of media delivered to clients and, in particular, the periodic patterns of user requests. Also, by giving weights to the recently referenced media contents, the replacement policy adequately and swiftly reflects the ever-changing characteristics of users preferences. The simulation studies show that the performance of the proposed policy has improved over the conventional policies such as LRU, LFU and SEG - in terms of hit ratio, byte hit ratio, delayed start and cache input.

본 논문에서는 360 도 VR 영상을 전송하는 기법의 일종인 타일 기반 전송을 MMT(MPEG Media Transport) 프로토콜 기반으로 구현하기 위하여 영상의 공간 분할 정보를 전달하는 방법을 소개한다. 360 도 VR 영상 전송은 대용량 미디어 전송인 동시에 사용자의 움직임에 따라 신속하게 적응적 영상을 전달해야 한다. 타일 기반 전송은 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)의 MCTS(Motion Constrained Tile Sets) 기법을 이용하여 뷰포트에 해당하는 타일들을 고화질로 전달함으로써 이러한 요구사항을 해결한다. 반면, MMT 프로토콜은 초저지연 고화질 영상 전송에 유리한 기술로써 사용자의 시점 변화에 따라 기민하게 영상의 품질을 변환시킬 수 있다. 따라서 HEVC 의 SEI(Supplemental Enhancement Information) 메시지에 포함되는 타일들의 공간 분할 정보를 MMT 프로토콜에 적용하는 방식에 따라 적응적 타일 기반 전송 기법의 효율을 높일 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new scheduling method that can guarantee reliable jitter by minimizing the queue length variation in the streaming service provisioning such as IPTV and VoD. The amount of traffic to be delivered within a certain time is very fluid because MPEG-4 and H.264 encoders use VBR(Variable Bit Rate) for delivering video streaming traffic. This VBR characteristic increases the end-to-end propagation delay variation when existing scheduling methods are used for delivering video frames. Therefore, we propose the new scheduling method that can minimize change rate of queue length by adaptively controling service rate taking into account the size of bulk incoming packets and arrival rate for bulk streaming traffic. Video frames can be more reliably transmitted through the minimization of the queue length variation using the proposed method. We use the queueing model and also carry out OPNET simulation to validate the proposed method.

Due to the fast development of wire&wireless internet and computer hardware, more and more internet services are being developed, such as Internet broadcast, VoD (Video On Demand), etc. So QoS (Qualify of Service) is essentially needed to guarantee the quality of these services. Traditional Internet is Best-Effort service in which all packets are transported in FIFO (First In First Out) style. However, FIFO is not suitable to guarantee the quality of some services, so more research in QoS router and QoS protocol are needed. Researched QoS router and protocol are high cost and inefficient because the existing infra is not used. To solve this problem, a new QoS control method, named Network Adaptive QoS, is introduced and applied to client/server-based streaming systems. Based on network bandwidth monitoring mechanism, network adaptive QoS control method can be used in wire&wireless networks to support QoS in real-time streaming system. In order to reduce application cost, the existing streaming service is used in NAQoS. A new module is integrated into the existing server and client. So the router and network line are not changed. By simulation in heavy traffic network conditions, we proved that stream cannot be seamless without network adaptive QoS method.

Owing to the improved wireless communication technologies, it is possible to provide streaming service of multimedia with PDAs and mobile phones in addition to desktop PCs. Since mobile client devices have low computing power and low network bandwidth due to wireless network, the transcoding technology to adapt media for mobile client devices considering their characteristics is necessary. However, since mobile clients use wireless network and the wireless network have less stable bandwidth according to distance from AP and environments, it is hard to support stable QoS to mobile clients. In this paper, we propose a dynamic bit rate control method for transcoding in order to supprot stable QoS of streaming media service to mobile clients via wireless network. The proposed method is shown to serve seamless streaming media service with adaptive bit rate control according to state of wireless network in real time and to reduce transmission failure from experiment.

Promoting quality of streaming service in wireless networks has attracted intensive research over the years. Instable wireless channel condition causes high transmission delay and packet loss, due to fading and interference. Therefore, they lead to degrade quality of video streaming service. The IEEE 802.11 Working Group is currently working on a new standard called IEEE 802.11e to support quality of service in WLANs. And several schemes were proposed in order to guarantee QoS. However, they are not adaptable to network condition. Accordingly, they suffered video quality degradation, due to buffer overflow or packet loss. In this paper, to promote quality of video streaming service in WLANs, we propose a cross-layer architecture based on IEEE 802.11e EDCA model. Our cross-layer architecture provides differentiated transmission mechanism of IEEE 802.11e EDCA based on priority of MPEG-4 video frames and adaptively controls the transmission rate by dropping video frames through the efficient bandwidth estimation based on distinction of each AC. Through the simulation, proposed scheme is shown to be able to improve end-to-end qualify for video streaming service in WLANs.
