As recent fusion industry and ubiquitous technology have grown fast, network contents, which require high load, are provided in various infrastructures and facilities such as u-city and smart phones. Therefore, it is anticipated that the playback quality of multimedia compared to network loads degrades dramatically due to the drastic increment of real-time reference of conventional high load contents (eg. multimedia data). In this paper, we improved the method of the traffic assignment based on MPP which elevated the playback quality of multimedia by assigning discriminately the possible traffic of MMS with TP coefficients. When the TP coefficient which combines content preference with media preference was applied to a real-time traffic assignment scheduler, the simulation results showed that the multimedia playback stream was assigned within the possible traffic of a server. The real-time scheduling algorithm was improved by using the TP coefficient that combines the time-dependent image contents and the weighted value of media preference. It was observed from the experiment that the loss of the possible traffic decreases to 3.91% and 3.88% for three and four clients respectively.

In this paper, we propose a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) method based on channel alignment to simultaneously transmit multiple unicast and multicast streams in frequency-efficient manner. In this method, all receivers in a multicast cluster use the receive beamforming vectors that align their channels, and the base station uses the aligned channel information to design the transmit beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between multicast clusters. Using the effective receive channel information combined with the transmit beamforming vectors, unicast receivers design their own receive beamforming vectors that eliminate interference between unicast receivers. Since the proposed method effectively eliminates the interference, it achieves a higher sum rate than the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) method in high SNR regions. In addition, we present a hybrid method that exploits the benefits of the proposed NOMA method and the existing OMA method. Depending on the channel state, the hybrid method adaptively employs the existing OMA method, which improves the received signal power, in low SNR regions and the proposed NOMA method, which effectively eliminates the interference, in high SNR regions, thereby achieving a good sum rate over the entire SNR region.

Video server which stores video streams should serve more users with the requested streams rapidly, satisfying their time constraints. In this paper, we propose the storage system that does not only maintain fast responses but also increase the number of users supported, with satisfying the time constraints characteristics of the video streams. When the video streams are retrieved in storage system under multiple disks environments, it can not only maintain the rapid responses but also can save the disk bandwidth owing to the retrieval based on priority. Also, it utilizes the given buffer capacity efficiently owing to determining the stream segment size heuristically, which is adapted to the buffer capacity Consequentially, these policies can increase the number of users supported. The correctness of the proposed policies is not only analyzed theoretically but also evaluated through simulations.

As demand for the application in multimedia networks is increasing rapidly, it is important to provide these services in Mobile Environments (ME). Obtaining to multimedia services which satisfy synchronization constraints in ME and improving the delay time and Quality of Service(QoS) between media streams to be presented, new specification model has to be proposed. In this paper we propose Mobile Synchronization Model(MSM) as a new specification model for describing efficiently the QoS and the delay time. Also, we propose the multimedia synchronization algorithm where is a dynamic synchronization method that minimizes the effects of adaptive transmission delay time. The proposed model has higher the guarantee of QoS such as the loss rate and the playout rate than it of the previous work.

This paper proposes a new dynamic video adaptation scheme that could generate an adapted video stream customized to the requesting mobile device and current network status without repeated decode-encode cycles. In the proposed adaptation scheme, the characteristics of the video codec such as MPEG-1/-2/-4 are analyzed in advance focused on the relationships between the size and Quality of the encoded video stream, and they are stored in the proxy as a codec-dependent characteristic table. When a mobile device requests a video stream, it is dynamically decoded-encoded in the proxy with the highest quality to extract the contents-dependent attributes of the requested video stream. By comparing these attributes with codec-dependent characteristic table, the size and Quality of the requested video stream when being adapted to the target mobile device could be predicted. With this prediction, a version of adapted video stream, that meets the size constraints of mobile device while keeping the quality of encoded video stream as high as possible, could be selected without repeated decode-encode cycles. Experimental results show that the errors in our proposed scheme are less than 5% and produce an appropriate adapted video stream very quickly. It could be used t(1 build a proxy server for mobile devices that could quickly transcode the video streams widely spread in Internet which are encoded with various video codecs.

With the growth of the Internet, multimedia streaming becomes an important means to deliver video contents over the Internet and the amount of the streaming multimedia contents is also getting increased. However, it becomes difficult to guarantee the quality of service in real-time over the IP network environment with instantaneously varying bandwidth. In this paper, we propose an optimal adaptation framework for streaming contents over the Internet in the sense that the perceptual quality of the multi-angie content with multiple visual objects is maximized given the constraints such as available bandwidth and transcoding cost. In the multi-angle video service framework, the user can select his/her preferred alternate views among the given multiple video streams captured at different view angles for a same event. This enhanced experience often entails streaming problems in real-time over the network, such as instantaneous bandwidth changes in the Internet. In order to cope with this problem, we assume that multi-angle video contents are encoded at different bitrates and the appropriate video streams are then selected or transcoded for delivery to meet such bandwidth constraints. For the user selective consumption of the various bitstreams in the multi-angle video service, the bitstream in each angle can be encoded in various bitrate, and the user can select a sub-bitrstream in the given bitrstreams or transcode the corresponding content in order to deliver the optimally adapted video contents to the instantaneously changing network condition. Therefore, we define the transcoding cost which means the time taken for transcoding the video stream and formulate a unified optimization framework which maximizes the perceptual quality of the multiple video objects in the given constraints such as the transcoding cost and the network bandwidth. Finally, we present plenty of the experimental results to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.

Adaptability is an important issue in video streaming over mobile environments, since the clients may request videos with great differences in their workload. In this paper, we propose the issues in limited bandwidth scheduling for efficient MPEG-4 video stream transmission over a mobile or wireless network. In the phase of admission control, the amount of bandwidth allocated to serve a video request is the mean bandwidth requirement of its requested video. The dynamic allocation of bandwidth in the phase of scheduling depends on the playback buffer levels of the clients with an objective to make it more adaptive to the playback situation of individual clients. In the proposed RTA scheduling protocol, more bandwidth may be allocated temporarily to the client whose buffer level is low. By employing the buffer level based scheduling policy, this protocol attempts to maximize the real-time performance of individual playback while minimizing the impact of transient overloading. Extensive simulation experiments have been performed to investigate the performance characteristics of the RTA protocol as comparing with BSBA protocol. This RTA protocol shows the better performance by transferring more frames than BSBA protocol.Computer simulations reveals that the standard deviation of the bit rate error of the proposed scheme is 50% less than that of the conventional method.

The transcoding is a solution which is able to adapt to heterogeneous clients of requesting a different playback rate of multimedia data. Thus, The transcoding needs decoding and encoding. In general, previous studies to reduce complexity have a problem, the degradation of visual quality On the contrary, previous studies to reduce the degradation of visual quality lead to heavy computation. Thus, many researchers have studied a solution between the complexity and the degradation of visual quality. But until now, most researches of this region have dealt with the transcoder itself, such researches about a server's assistance to improve the performance of transcoder is rarely studied. In case of servicing multimedia data to heterogeneous clients which have low capabilities, the assistance of server side is able to reduce frames with processing in the transcoder and improve the performance of the transcoder. Thus in this paper, we propose the frame-skipping transcoder system architecture that takes into consideration transcoder and server side to reduce the complexity of the transcoder.
