The most noticeable aspect of progressive streaming is the media playback during its download through TCP to avoid a lengthy wait for a content to finish downloading. By employing TCP, it is usually possible to detect lost packets by using the checksum and sequence numbering functions of TCP Thereafter, we can recover the lost packets by the retransmission function of TCP. However, there must remain enough amount of media data in the recipient buffer in order to guarantee seamless media playback even during retransmission. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for determining the initial buffering time before start of playback to guarantee seamless playback during retransmission considering the probability of client buffer under-flow. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm will be proved through extensive simulation results.

In this paper, we propose an estimation of network jitter that occurs when transmitting TCP packets containing MPEG-2 TS in progressive streaming service over wired or wireless Internet networks. Based on the estimated network jitter size, we can calculate required de-jitter buffering time to absorb the network jitter at the receiver side. For this purpose, by exploiting the PCR timestamp existing in the TS packet header, we create a new timestamp information that is marked in the optional field of TCP packet header to estimate the network jitter. By using the proposed de-jitter buffering scheme, it is possible to employ the conventional T-STD buffer model without any modification in the progressive streaming service over IP networks. The proposed method can be applicable to the recently developed international standard, MPEG DASH (dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP) technology.

The P2P technology has been widely used to distribute files efficiently, and its use in streaming is rapidly increasing. P2P streaming has issues about startup-delay, scalability, and real-time playback, however, what affects these factors has not been researched sufficiently. This paper suggests a buffering model for progressive download within mesh-based P2P system, which corresponds to downloading and playing the content at the same time. It is used to analyze PDF(Playback Deadline First), Rarest algorithms which are block-selection strategies of P2P streaming and proposes a mixed selection of them. The mixed block selection strategy dynamically performs different strategies based on whether the blocks to be played are received or not. In consequence, it enhances the QoS of streaming in a single peer point of view, as well as improving block distributions in an overlay network.

Recently, depending on the development of smart devices, a variable services have been offered to meet user's convenience. Due to these advance, the needs of users are extremely being diversified and more specific. In that situation, the needs for the N-Screen system has been varied and gradually evolved. An existing N-Screen system that use the way of video streaming upload its multimedia contents to their own cloud server so that might take a long play-reaction time and the number of user is limited by the server's performance. Because of the web based protocol adopted by existing N-Screen system, there are many different problems like high delay, overhead and something caused by simplex data communications. Therefore, to solve the problems above, this study proposes an application based on HTML5. This application supports Video tag and Progressive download via HTML5 so that improves the play-reaction time for multimedia contents. This system can also get rid of the chronic problems such as an access limitation for lots of users as per video streaming encoding. Also, through web sockets, this study proposes a system that has lower delay than the existing system and communicates in full duplex to be able to link dynamically.
