In video-on-demand(VOD) systems, a broadcast-based scheduling mechanism is known to be a very efficient technique for disseminating popular videos to very large client populations. The main motivations of broadcasting scheduling mechanisms are that they scale up extremely well and they have very modest bandwidth requirements. This paper proposes a new dynamic broadcasting scheduling mechanism, named FDBS (fast dynamic broadcasting scheme), and proves its correctness. This paper also evaluates the performance of FDBS on the basis of a simulation approach. The simulation results indicate that FDBS shows a superior performance over UD, CBHD, and NPB in terms of the average response time with very reasonable bandwidth requirements.

Passive optical networks (PONs) are the emerging solution for access networks since PONs provide high bandwidth. TDM ((time-division multiplexing) PON cannot support sufficient bandwidth for new broadband services such as UHD (ultra high-definition) IP TV, and VOD (video on demand). The solution is TWDM PON which is a mixture of WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) and TDM. This paper proposes a new MAC (media access control) protocol for TWDM PON.

VoD(Video-on-Demand) servers have to provide timely processing guarantees for continuous media and reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements for continuous media. The compression techniques make the bit rates of compressed video data significantly variable from frame to frame. A VoD system should be able to provide the client with interactive operations such as fast forward and fast rewind in addition to normal playback of movie. However, interactive operations require additional resources such as storage space, disk bandwidth, memory and network bandwidth. In a stored video application such as VoD system, it is possible that a priori disk access patterns can be used to reserve the system resources in advance. In addition, clients of VoD server spend most of their time in playback mode and the period of time spent in interactive mode is relatively small. In this paper, I present the new buffer management scheme that provides efficient support for interactive operations in a VoD server using variable bit rate continuous media. Simulation results show that our strategy achieves 34% increase of the number of accepted clients over the LRU strategy.

A variable bit-rate based video services have much limitation for bandwidth management, since its trarfic has a some variances in frame level. In particular, the bandwidth management for video which has characteristics of VBR traffic such a MPEG video could be more complicated. Also, it is difficult to manage the bandwidth effectively for proving a VCR function from VOD service, since we don't know the traffic variance exactly at that time. In this paper, we proposed the dynamic bandwidth allocation a scheme based on VBR traffic based stored video such as MPEG for interactive video service. This scheme can maximize the given total bandwidth through the prefetch based variable length bandwidth allocation scheme and dynamic bandwidth management scheme for multiple streams. Also, our scheme can be used for a MPEG-based bandwidth allocation scheme, and provides the method that can maximize the utilization of network resource for multiple stream by using a dynamic bandwidth management.

The growing usage of multimedia communication applications with specific bandwidth and real-time delivery requirements has created the needs for quality of service(QoS). In response to the growing demand for an integrated services, the Reservation Protocol(RSVP) has been designed to exchange resource reservation among routers in the internet. RSVP protocol provides the quality of service for real-time applications but the network efficiency is reduced because of the limited bandwidth. In order to use network resources efficiently. We compare the resource efficiency of traditional reservation methods with that of the proposed method and evaluate the performance of the internet phone.

In recent years the demand for digital video and image communications has been increased tremendously. On the other hand, video communications requires very much bandwidth in comparison with other information types such as text and data. Thus to adapt with the bandwidth-limited channels, especially wireless channels, video source must be compressed extremely. A new video coding standard namely H.26L is being developed by Joint Video Team (JVT). In this paper performance of H.26L is analyzed in an AWGN environment.

In this paper, we propose a stream based patching technique in order to reduce demands of network output bandwidth required to provide the true video-on-demand (VoD) service in a Multimedia server. The proposed scheme calculates required streams to clients accurately by analyzing temporal relationships between already arrived requests in a multimedia server and still progressing streams, and then transmits streams freshly. Since our stream based patching technique induces new linking stream which is playing a link role between long and short patching streams, it reduces demand of network output bandwidth required to provide the true VoD service in a multimedia server. Accordingly, we know that the proposed scheme improves service latency and defection rate than those of existing patching technique by a simulation study.

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.

Pricing a network service aims for congestion control of the network as well as economic efficiency. A monopolistic supplier providing users with a network service on a shared link needs a pricing schedule that maximizes revenue under the link's bandwidth constraint and guarantees the bandwidth purchased by the users. In that case, nonlinear pricing is an efficient scheme which meets both requirements. This study reviews how nonlinear pricing can be applied to the network service under the constraint and shows that the nonlinear pricing may result in a fixed unit price of bandwidth as linear pricing when demand characteristics of the users follow a power law. Also, the way how the provider with incomplete information on the demand distribution seeks for the optimal pricing from the degree of the network congestion is introduced and the relationship between the development direction of the Internet and internet pricing is considered based on the results of the study.

최근 VOD(Video On Demand)나 AOD(Audio On Demand) 서비스가 급증하면서 멀티미디어 스트리밍 기술에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 기존의 스트리밍 서비스는 정적으로 멀티미디어를 전송하므로 네트워크 환경의 대역폭(bandwidth) 변화에 대처하는데 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 적응형 스트리밍 서비스(ASS; Adaptive Streaming Service) 시스템을 제안한다. ASS 시스템은 가변 비트율을 통한 미디어 스케일링방식을 이용하여 멀티미디어 데이터를 동적으로 전송한다. 또한 프레임 조정방식과 화질 조정방식을 동시에 채택하여 적용함으로써 고화질이 보장되는 전송환경과 느린 회선에서도 끊김없이 안정적인 스트리밍 서비스를 제공받을 수 있도록 한다.
