In this paper, we propose a buffer management scheme for decreasing the packet loss due to buffer overflow and improving the packet fairness between nodes in IEEE 802.11 based multi-hop mesh networks. In the proposed scheme, each mesh router that is an intermediate node receives fairly packet sent from neighboring mesh routers and mobile nodes, and it improves the reception ratio of multi-hop traffic of neighboring mesh routers. Therefore, the proposed scheme can reduce transmission delay and energy consumption. In order to improving the packet loss and the packet fairness, the proposed scheme uses the modified RTS/CTS under the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol and reduces the packet loss by recognizing the packet size to send to the destination in advance. By using the simulation, we evaluated the proposed scheme in terms of the packet loss ratio and the number of received packet in each mesh router, and compare it to a traditional scheme.

The standard streaming delivery Is mostly based on UDP with no end-to-end congestion control. For this reason, wide usage of multimedia applications in Internet might lead to congested networks. To avoid such a situation, studies on the congestion controlled streaming delivery has been increasingly done after the 1990s. However, by considering only the stability aspect of network, these works ignore the characteristics of multimedia streaming applications. Moreover, most of previous works have no consideration on the network delay which produces an effect on streaming service. In this thesis, in order to overcome limitations of the previous transmission schemes for streaming, we propose a new transmission scheme called 'BEST(Buffer-driven Efficient STreaming)'. The BEST takes a hybrid approach that considers both user-level requirements and network-level requriements. Therefore, the BEST improves the stability of networks by adjusting the sending rate suitable for network status and it also provides the smoothed playback by preventing buffer underflow or overflow. The BEST is designed to consider high-delay networks. Through the simulation, we prove that the BEST satisfies both user-level and network-level requirements in a high-delay network environments.

In this paper, we propose a modification of fuzzy logic based DASH adaptation algorithm(FDASH) for seamless media service in time-varying network conditions. The proposed algorithm selects more appropriate bit-rate for the next segment by the modification of the Fuzzy Logic Controller(FLC) and reduces the number of video bit-rate changes by applying Segment Bit-rate Filtering Module(SBFM). Also, we apply the Start Mechanism for clients not to watch the low quality videos in the very beginning stage of streaming service and add the Sleeping Mechanism to avoid any buffer overflow expected. Ultimately, we verified by using NS-3 Network Simulator that the proposed method shows better performance compared to FDASH. According to the experimental results, there is no buffer underflow/overflow within the limited buffer size, which is not guaranteed in FDASH on the other hand. Also, we confirmed that mFDASH has almost the same level of average video quality against FDASH and reduces about 50% of number of video bit-rate changes compared to FDASH in Point-to-Point network and Wi-Fi network.

Recent studies on the Constant Bit Rate and Variable Bit Rate transmissions have mainly focused on the frame by frame encoder rate control based on the quantization parameter. With the existing approaches it is difficult to guarantee a consistent video quality. Also, the rate control overhead is too high for the real-time video sources. In this paper, a channel rate allocation scheme based on the control period is proposed to transmit a real-time video, in which the control period is defined by a pre-specified number of frames or group of pictures. At each control period, video traffic information is collected to determine the channel rate at the next control period. The channel rate is allocated to satisfy various channel rate constraints such that the buffer occupancy at the decoder is maintained at a target level. If the allocated channel rate approaches the level at which the negotiated traffic descriptions may be violated, the encoder rate is decreased through adjusting quantization parameters in the MPEG encoder. In the experimental results, the video quality and the overflow and underflow probabilities at the buffer are compared at different control periods. Experiments show that the video quality and the utilization of network bandwidth resources can be optimized through the suitable selection of the control period.

This paper presents a selective duality control system to control relative picture quality among the video programs in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) . The selective quality control system allows variable bit rate (VBR) for each video program to maintain the pre-determitted relative picture Quality among aggregated video programs while keeping a constant bit rate for alt programs to be transmitted over a single constant bit rate (CBR) channel. Thus is achieved by simultaneous controlling the video encoders to generate VBR video streams at the central controller. furthermore, we also suggest a buffer regulation method based on the analysis of the constraints Imposed by sender/receiver buffer sizes and the total transmission rate. Through various simulation results, it is found that the proposed quality control system guarantees that the video buffers neither overflow nor underflow and the quality control errors do not exceed 0.1 dB.

With the advent of B-ISDN based on ATM technonlogy, ther are increasing needs for the interconnection of existing LAN/MAN's through ATM networks. ATM networks, therefore, must provide connectionless service. In this paper, the traffic distributio scheme using multi-path is proposed to support efficient connectionless service in ATM networks. Because the proposed scheme distributed the bursty traffic arrived in the interworking unit (IWU) and the connectionless server (CLS) from LAN-terminals, it alleviates the packet loss ratio caused by buffer overflow at IWU/CLS and is able to use nettowrk resources efficiently according to the network conditions and the amount of the traffic arrived at IWU/CLS. This paper presents the distribution algorithm and the IWU/CLS, CLS-CLS closed-loop rate control scheme.

As we know, gigabit ethernet is a new technology to be substituted for current fast ethernet used widely in local area network. The switch used in gigabit ethernet should deal with frames in giga-bps. To do such a fast switching, we need that serveral processes meet the budgets, such as MAC address table lookup, several giga speed path setup, fast scheduling, and etc. Especially MAC address table lookup has to be processed in the same speed with speed of incoming packets, thus the bottleneck in the process can cause packet loss by the overflow in the input buffer. We devise new practical hardware hashing method to perform fast table lookup by minimizing the number of external memory access and accelerating with hardware.

It has been tested for SW reliability in order to prevent the SW error during the development of weapons systems. According to a recent report, defects such as memory leak, buffer overflow, and null deference occur usually in the development stage, but also in the mass production stage. Although it is intended to enhance the SW test and evaluation to prevent SW failures in the development stage, the non-functional problems like syntax errors are not completely revised due to the limitation of the schedule and costs. In addition, SW failure rate are usually fluctuated by the operational environment through SW upgrade in contrast with HW. In this paper, we propose a method to increase SW reliability in the mass production stage of Korean weapon systems.
