This paper proposes a frame-level rate control algorithm for low delay video applications to reduce the fluctuations in the bitrate. The proposed algorithm minimizes the bitrate fluctuations in two ways with minimal coding loss. First, the proposed rate control applies R-Q model to all frames including the first frame of every group of pictures (GOP) except for the first one of a sequence. Conventional rate control algorithms do not use any R-Q models for the first frame of each GOP and do not estimate the generated-bit. An unexpected output rate result from the first frame affects the remainder of the pictures in the rate control. Second, a rate-distortion (R-D) cost is calculated regardless of the hierarchical coding structure for low bitrate fluctuations because the hierarchical coding structure controls the output bitrate in rate distortion optimization (RDO) process. The experimental results show that the average variance of per-frame bits with the proposed algorithm can reduce by approximately 33.8% with a delta peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) degradation of 1.4dB for a "low-delay B" coding structure and by approximately 35.7% with a delta-PSNR degradation of 1.3dB for a "low-delay P" coding structure, compared to HM 8.0 rate control.

Recently, we are concerned with effective service according as the demand increase for high speed data service. We can use high speed transfer and multiple traffic service on the ATM networks, so we concentrate on preventive-control method rather than reactive-control one. But it is possible to have low QoS and traffic congestion due to unpredictable traffic and burst traffic. Specially, ATM Forum has discussed to standardization of traffic management of ABR(Available Bit Rate) service. Because ABR traffic controls the flow of traffic using the feedback information and the current status information of cell, it allocates bandwidth systematically and dynamically to the user. In this paper, we propose a new Rate-based flow control scheme which adapted double threshold buffer idea. The double threshold buffer controls the traffic control by establishing two threshold in buffer.

In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy controller for the evaluation of the quantization Parameters in the H.263 coder to optimize the subjective quality of each coded frame, keeping the transmission rate constant. We adopted the Mamdani method for fuzzification and the centroid method for defuzzification. The energy and entropy are correlated to features of the HVS in spatial domain, while motion vectors are used to estimate the temporal characteristics of the signal. And then, the fuzzy inputs adapted the variance and the entropy in spatial domain, and the motion vector in temporal domain. We induced the fuzzy membership function and decided the fuzzy relevance to be compatible in visual characteristics. And then, we designed FAM banks. The fuzzy technology has been applied to a practical video compression. This results is obtained an effective rate control technique, an optimum bit allocation and a high subjective quality using fuzzy quantization.

Most of network congestions are caused by TCP packet losses in the wired network ecosystems. On the contrary, high BER (Bit Error Rate), which is characteristic of the wireless networks, is a main factor in wireless network environments. Many wireless networks carry out the congestion control mechanisms frequently because they estimate that packet losses are not due to the wireless signal qualities but the congestion controls in their networks. To solve this problem, we propose the improved EWLN (Explicit Wireless Loss Notification) algorithm that more efficiently utilize the congestion window size to increase the wireless network throughput than legacy EWLN algorithm.

This paper describes two traffic shaping methods for VBR(variable bit rate) video bit streams encoded in the MPEG-2 syntax. Difficulties in control of VBR video traffic are lessened by traffic shaping. Burstness of single layer MPEG-2 video can be reduced by performing intra-refresh in more than one consecutive frames. In two layer encoding of spatial scalability, burstness can be reduced by setting the temporal locations of GOP starting frame of a layer, differently from the other. Queueing analysis shows that these two methods outperform conventional encoding schemes in terms of temporal and semantic QoS requirements.

A general goal of the ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network is to support connections across various networks. ABR service using EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) switch controls traffics in ATM network. EPRCA switch, traffic control method uses variation of the ACR(Allowed Cell Rate) to enhance the utilization of the link bandwidth. However, in ABR(Available Bit Rate) service, different treatments are offered according to different RTTs(Round Trip Times) of connections. To improve the above unfairness, this paper presents ABR DELAY mechanism, in which three reference parameters for cell delay are defined, and reflect on the messages of RM(Resource Management) cells. To evaluate our mechanism, we compare the fairness among TCP connections between ABR DELAY mechanism and ABR RRM mechanism. And also we execute simulations on a simple ATM network model where six TCP connections and a background traffic with different RTTs share the bandwidth of a bottleneck link. The simulation results, based on TCP goodput and efficiency, clearly show that ABR DELAY mechanism improves the fairness among TCP connections.

In this paper, we consider the transmission or variable bit rate (VBR) stored video for the distributed video streaming service over Internet. In streaming service, users often suffer from the discontinuity in playback due to the decrease in bandwidth during transmission according to bandwidth renegotiation protocol. We propose a novel transmission technique to overcome this problem for stored variable bit rate video. This scheme uses a priori information of stored VBR video to continue streaming without playback discontinuity. In addition, an approximation scheme for the buffer-bandwidth relation is proposed in order to facilitate the admission control under the proposed scheme.

In this paper, an Analog Flat Panel interface(AFPI) which supports for UXGa(Ultar extended Graphics Array)-Compatible TFT LCD Driver is designed. The Proposed AFPI is composed of 8-b ADC, Automatic Gain Control(AGC), Low-Jitter PLL. In order to obtain a high speed and low power consumption, an efficient architecture of 8-bit ADC is proposed, whose FR(Folding Rate) is 8, NFB(Number of Folding Block) is 2, and IR (Interpolating Rate) is 16. We can get high SNDR by adopting distributed track and hold circuits. Also a programmable AGC which is possible to control gain and clamp, and a low-jitter PLL are proposed. The chip has been fabricated with 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 1-poly S-metal n-well CMOS technology. The effective chip area is 3.6mm $\times$ 3.2mm and it dissipates about 602㎽ at 2.5V power supply. The INL and DNL are within $\pm$ 1LSB. The measured SNDR is about 43㏈, when the input frequency is 10MHz at 200MHz clock frequency.

본 논문은 유선통신망의 ATM기술을 무선통신망에 적용한 무선 멀티미디어 액세스 환경에서 패킷에러율 및 처리율등 전송성능을 개선하기 위한 통합에러제어 구조를 제안하였다. 음성, 데이터, 영상 등의 등시성 멀티미디어 트래픽을 처리해야 하는 무선 멀티미디어 네트워크에서는 트래픽별로 QoS(Quality of Service) 목표치가 다르므로 트래픽 속성에 상관없이 일괄적으로 성능개선기법들을 적용하는 것은 또 다른 성능저하 현상을 초래한다. 대표적인 멀티미디어 네트워크인 ATM 네트워크인 경우 트래픽 속성상 CBR(Constant Bit Rate) 및 랜덤트래픽은 지연에 매우 민감하며 VBR(Variable Bit Rate) 트래픽은 어느 정도의 지연은 허용되나 데이터 전송시 매우 높은 신뢰도를 필요로 한다. 이러한 배경에서 ATM을 기반으로 하는 무선 멀티미디어 네트워크 액세스 환경에서 트래픽별 QoS 속성을 만족시킬 수 있는 통합 에러제어 구조를 제시한 후 FEC, ARQ, 인터리빙, 버퍼용량등의 적용방안을 제시하였다.
