A periodic broadcasting is known as an efficient technique for delivering popular videos to reduce bandwidth requirements for transmitting streaming video to viewers in video-on-demand (VoD) services. However, the most periodic VoD schemes approach needs frequency channel hopping, many segments of video managing, and using many channel at the same time. These make it difficult to implement. In this paper, we propose a Staircase Staggered broadcasting scheme which has a simple structure and substantially improved VoD efficiency. The numerical results demonstrate that the viewer's waiting time of the Staircase Staggered broadcasting scheme is close to the staircase broadcasting scheme and the maximum buffer requirements of this can be adapted for demanding rate by adjusting the short front part of a video sizes.

VOD service provides an additional revenue model for digital broadcasting companies in addition to the existing subscription fees and advertisement-based revenue models. Therefore, each digital broadcasting company develops its own VOD service and performs frequent improvement work. In this circumstance, the developer is seeking to improve the efficiency of the VOD service development. To address the needs of such developers, this study conducted a basic study to apply the feature-oriented analysis model to the development of VOD services. The feature-oriented analysis model is recognized (through a number of case studies) as an effective tool for analyzing the requirements of softwares with the functions that are interconnected organically. In this paper, we developed a feature model of VOD service and designed the primary functions of each feature and the test-cases that can test the these functions, laying the foundation for developing VOD services based on feature-oriented analysis model.

In designing a video-on-demand (VoD) system, one of the major challenges is how to reduce the viewer's waiting time maintaining a given bandwidth allocation and how to reduce the client's buffer requirements. To solve these problems, many VoD schemes were proposed. However, most VoD schemes require managing many segments of a video, frequency channel hopping, and using many channels at the same time. Therefore, to the complexity is a barrier to implementation. In this paper, we propose a fast staggered broadcasting scheme which has a simple structure and substantially improved VoD efficiency. The numerical results demonstrate that the viewer's waiting time of the fast staggered broadcasting scheme is close to the fast broadcasting scheme and the buffer requirements of this can be adapt for demanding rate by adjusting the short front part of a video sizes.

In designing a video-on-demand (VoD) system, the major challenge may be how to reduce the channels concurrently used maintaining the client's waiting time. For this reason, the various architectures which integrate the multicast streams with the unicast streams were suggested in order to improve channel efficiency in recent years. In combining multicast with unicast, the ways to group the unicast channels together are important so that clients can share the multicast transmission channels. This paper proposes a hybrid video-on-demand system which gathers the unicast channels in new ways and shares multicast transmission channels efficiently by using dynamic channel allocation architecture. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed architecture in some case achieves performance gain of $551{\%}$ compared to existing architecture. This paper presents procedure of channel release and reuse, performance analysis, and simulation results of the dynamic channel allocation architecture.

주문형 비디오 서비스(VoD: Video on Demand)의 경우 네트워크의 자원 이용도와QoS (Quality of Service)가 보장되도록 구축되어야 한다. 대역폭 스무딩 알고리즘은 주문형 비디오 시스템에서 비디오 데이터를 보낼 경우 비디오의 데이터의 급격한 대역폭의 증가 또는 감소를 최소한 줄이는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 대역폭 스무딩 기법과 비디오 압축 기법의 특성을 이용하여 새로운 모델과 스무딩 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위해 기존 스무딩 알고리즘의 결과와 비교 분석한다.

최근 방송통신융합 기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 상황에서 주문형비디오 서비스에 대한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 주문형비디오 서비스의 구현을 위해 기존의 배칭 기법 중 Fast Data broadcasting 방식을 활용한 패칭 기법을 제안한다. 대역폭이 제한되어 있는 통신 환경에서 사용자는 요청한 비디오를 시청하기까지 일정 시간을 기다려야 하는데, 사용자 요청 시점 이전 데이터를 Fast Data broadcasting 방식을 적용한 패칭 채널을 통해 전송함으로써 대기 시간을 크게 줄이는 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

A Viedo-on-Demand(VOD) service is a multimedia service that is realized by the rapid advance of computer and data communication techmologies. Basically, a VOD system is composed of a server and a number fo clients.The server stores and manages a large amount of digital moving picture data. Each slient sends an on-line requwet to the server and receives data for real-time displying. Many researches are performed on a VOD server using hard disks for the permanent video fata storage. However, a hard disk is less reliable and requires more storage cost than a massive storage device. Due to these resasons, a multi-level VOD system is proposed for using teh jukeboxes of optical disks as the permanent video storage,device. In this paper, we prpose the necessary software modules and protocols between the server and its clients for the implementation of the multi-level VOD server.

In providing video-on-demand (VoD) services to a number of clients through networks, the bandwidth requirements of video transmission restrict VoD services. For this reason, many significant broadcasting-based VoD schemes have been proposed to efficiently support services. However, the broadcasting-based VoD schemes approach needs frequency channel hopping, using many channels at the same time and managing many segments of a video. These make it difficult to implement. In this paper, we propose a Harmonic Staggered broadcasting scheme which has a simple structure and substantially improved VoD efficiency. The numerical results demonstrate that the viewer's waiting time of the Harmonic Staggered broadcasting scheme is close to the harmonic broadcasting scheme and the maximum buffer requirements of this can be adapted for demanding rate by adjusting the short front part of a video sizes.
