HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS) has recently been widely deployed on the Internet. In the HAS system, a video content is encoded at multiple bitrates and the encoded video content is segmented into small parts of fixed durations. The HAS client requests a video segment and stores it in the playout buffer. The rate adaptation algorithm employed in HAS clients dynamically determines the video bitrate depending on the time-varying bandwidth. Many studies have shown that an efficient rate adaptation algorithm is critical to ensuring quality-of-experience in HAS systems. However, existing algorithms have problems estimating the network bandwidth because bandwidth estimation is performed on the client-side application stack. Without the help of transport layer protocols, it is difficult to achieve accurate bandwidth estimation due to the inherent segment-based transmission of the HAS. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach that utilizes the playout buffer occupancy rather than using bandwidth estimates obtained from the application layer. We start with a queueing analysis of the playout buffer. Then, we present a buffer-aware rate adaptation algorithm that is solely based on the mean buffer occupancy. Our simulation results show that compared to conventional algorithms, the proposed algorithm achieves very smooth video quality while delivering a similar average video bitrate.

기존의 스트리밍 품질 적용 기법들은 네트워크의 혼잡상황에서 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시키는데 반해 스트리밍 서비스의 빈번한 재생품질 변화로 인해 사용자에게 제공되는 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 SVC(스케일러블 비디오 코딩) 비디오 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장하기 위해, 네트워크 상태 변화를 고려한 스트리밍 품질 적응 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 미디어 특성을 고려한 가용대역폭 측정 기법을 이용하여 네트워크의 가용대역폭을 측정하고, 측정된 가용대역폭을 기반으로 전송되는 SVC 비디오 스트림의 품질 변화를 부드럽게 조절한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 재생품질의 변화를 최소화하여 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a dynamic-tiling-based bandwidth-efficient (DTBE) virtual reality (VR) streaming scheme. We consider 360-degree VR contents with multiple view points such as the front, back, upper, and bottom sides. At a given time, the focus of a client is always bound to a certain view among multiple view points. By utilizing this perspective, under our proposed scheme, tiles with high encoding rates are selectively assigned to the focused view where multiple view points consist of multiple tiles with different encoding rates. The other tiles with low encoding rates are assigned to the remaining view points. Furthermore, for reducing view adaptation delay, we design a novel rapid view adaptation mechanism that selectively delivers an I-frame during view point updates by using frame indexing. We implement the proposed scheme on a commercial VR test bed where we adopt the MPEG media transport (MMT) standard with high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) tile modes. The measurement-based experiments show that the proposed scheme achieves an average data usage reduction of almost 65.2% as well as average view adaptation delay reduction of almost 57.7%.

At the processing capabilities and operating frequency of embedded system are growing, so is the needed data bandwidth to fully utilize the processing capability. The ability to transfer huge amount of data between the embedded core and external devices is required for efficient system operation. In this paper, the data communication architecture for the mixed-clock system is proposed. The dynamic priority adaptation algorithm for bus arbitration is proposed for bandwidth guarantee. The communication architecture that incorporates the proposed arbitration algorithm adapts the priority of communication components dynamically based on the information from FIFO. The experiments show that the measured bandwidth of each component traces the required bandwidth well compared to the other arbitration algorithms

Variable wireless channel is a big challenge for real-time video applications, and the rate adaptation of realtime video streaming becomes a hot topic. Intra-video coding is important for high-quality video communication and industrial video applications. In this paper, we proposed a novel adaptive scheme for real-time video transmission with intra-only coding over a wireless network. The key idea of this scheme is to estimate the instantaneous remaining capacity of the network to adjust the quality of the next several video frames, which not only can keep low queuing delay and ensure video quality, but also can respond to bandwidth changes quickly. We compare our scheme with three different schemes in the video transmission system. The experimental results show that our scheme has higher bandwidth utilization and faster bandwidth change response, while maintaining low queuing delay.

이동 통신망에서는 각 셀에 이동 호스트들이 집중함에 따라 링크대역폭이 과부하가 될 수 있다. 그 결과, 셀 내에 포함된 모든 데이터 흐름의 요구된 QOS(Quality of Service)가 만족될 수 없다. 이에 따라서 다양한 대역폭 레벨에서 동작할 수 있는 적응성을 갖는 응용들이 나타나게 되었다. 무선링크가 과부하상태가 되면, 적응성을 갖는 응용들은 데이터흐름의 대역폭을 줄임으로써 적응하게 된다. 이를 전송율 적응이라 한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 모의실험을 통하여 기존 전송율적응 방안에 대한 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험 결과는 평균-공정 적응 방안이 매우 낮은 망 오버헤드를 나타내지만 데이터흐름의 높은 대역폭 분산을 갖음을 보여주며, 이는 서비스의 질을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 우리는 공정 적응방안과 평균-공정 적응방안을 혼합함으로써 개선된 전송율 적응방안을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통하여 이 방안이 낮은 데이터 흐름의 대역폭 분산을 제공함을 보인다.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) adaptive streaming has become a new trend in video delivery. An HTTP adaptive streaming client needs to effectively estimate resource availability and demand. However, due to the bitrate of the video encoded in variable bitrate (VBR) mode, a bitrate mismatch problem occurs. With the rising demand for mobile devices, the likelihood of cases where two or more HTTP adaptive streaming clients share the same network bottleneck and competing for available bandwidth will increase. These mismatch and competition issues lead to network congestion, which adversely affects the Quality of Experience (QoE). To solve these problem, we propose a video rate adaptation scheme for the HTTP video streaming to guarantee and optimize the QoE. The proposed scheme estimates the available bandwidth according to the bitrate of each segment and also schedules the segment request time to expedite the response to the bandwidth variation. We used a multi-client simulation to prove that our scheme can effectively cope with drastic changes in the connection throughput and video bitrate.

IEEE 802.11 무선랜은 20MHz부터 160MHz의 전송 대역폭을 지원한다. 일반적으로 전송 시 대역폭이 증가함에 따라 전송속도가 증가하지만, 동시에 단위 주파수당 전송파워가 낮아져 오류율이 증가하고 재전송을 유발할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상이 전송 에너지 소비에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위한 수학적 모델링을 수행한다. 그리고, 이를 바탕으로 전송 대역폭을 결정하는 기법을 제시한다. 제시된 기법은 기존 전송 결과를 기반으로 대역폭별 오류율을 추정하고 이를 바탕으로 대역폭별 에너지 소비 테이블을 업데이트 후 이들 간의 비교를 통해 최적 대역폭을 결정한다. VoIP 트래픽을 가정한 시뮬레이션을 통해 다양한 환경에서 제안한 기법의 에너지 소비 성능을 평가한다.

Modern broadcasting/multicasting networks has the heterogeneous nature in terms of terminals and available bandwidth. Such heterogeneity could be coped by scalable video coding (SVC) standard developed recently. More specifically, spatial layers of an SVC bitstream can be consumed by different terminals and SNR (and temporal) scalability can be used to cope with bandwidth heterogeneity. In this work, we tackle the problem of SVC adaptation for different user groups receiving the same broadcast/multicast video, so as to provide a flexible tradeoff between the groups while also maximizing the overall quality of the users. The adaptation process to truncate an SVC bitstream is first formulated as an optimization problem. Then the problem is represented by MPEG-21 DIA description tools, which can be solved by a universal processing. The results show that MPEG-21 DIA is useful to enable automatic and interoperable adaptation in our scenario.

Users want to browse and search various web contents with mobile devices which can be used anywhere and anytime without limitations, in the same manner as desktop. But mobile devices have limited resources compared to desktop in terms of computing performance, network bandwidth, screen size for full browsing, and etc, so there are many difficulties in providing support for mobile devices to fully use desktop-based web contents. Recently, mobile network bandwidth has been greatly improved, however, since mobile devices cannot provide the same environment as desktop, users still feel inconvenienced. To provide web contents optimized for each user device, there have been studies about analyzing code to extract blocks for adaptation to a mobile environment. But since web contents are divided into several items such as menu, login, news, shopping, etc, if the block dividing basis is limited only to code or segment size, it will be difficult for users to recognize and find the items they need. Also it is necessary to resolve interface issues, which are the biggest inconvenience for users browsing in a mobile environment. In this paper, we suggest a personalized adaptation system that extracts item blocks from desktop-based web contents based on user interests, layers them, and adapts them for users so they can see preferred contents first.
