In this thesis, an error resilient video coding algorithm, under the error-prone environment such as wireless communication, is suggested. The suggested algorithm adapts the Classified VQ method for intra imagers that reduces some load by searching similar vectors. The Duplicate Vector Position Code is proposed for the higher compression efficiency and the robust decoding in error environment. As a result, the bitstream encoded by the proposed method is in a CBR(Constant Bit Rate) preventing from error propagation. The experiment that adds practical error to the encoded bitsrteam shows the error-robustness superior to H.263.

The ATM network provides ATM CES(Circuit Emulation Services) with AAL1 for CBR(constant bit rate) services such as telephone speech. In this study, quality assessment of telephone speech with CES over ATM was performed and discussed. For this, interoperability between ATM network and structured/unstructured DS1 link was modeled for simulation. And for qualiy assessment of telephone speech, SNR and MOS were used as an objective and a subjective measure, respectively. Experimental results have shown that MOS score 4 as well as SNR 30dB could be obtained at CLR of $10^{-3}$ or below for speech signal.

The delay which is one of the quality of service parameters is considered to be a crucial factor for the effective usage of real-time audio and video streams in interactive multimedia collaborations. Among the various causes of the delay, we focus in this paper on the local delay concerned with the schemes which handle continuous inflow of encoded data from constant or variable bit-rate audio and video encoders. We introduce two kinds of implementation approaches, pull model and push model. While the pull model periodically pumps out the incoming data from the system buffer, the push model receives events from the device drivers. From our experiments based on Windows NT 3.51, it is shown that the push model outperforms the other for both constant and variable bit-rate streams in terms of the local delay, when the system suffers reasonable loads. We interpret this experimental data with M/G/1 multiple vacation queuing theories, and show that it is consistent with the queuing theoretic interpretations.

Since the H.264 encoding adopts both forward prediction and hi-direction prediction modes and exploits Variable Length Coding(VLC), the amount of data generated from video encoder varies as Flaying time goes by. The fixed bit rate encoding system which has limited transmission channel capacity uses a buffer to control output bitstream It's necessary to control the bitstream to maintain within manageable range so as to protect buffer from overflow or underflow. With existing bit amount control algorithms, the $\lambda_{MODE}$ which is relationship between distortion value and quantization parameter often excesses normal value to end up with video error. This paper proposes an algorithm to protect buffer from overflow or underflow by introducing a new quantization parameter against distortion value of H.264 video data. The test results of 6 exemplary data show that the proposed algorithm has the same PSNR as and up to 8% reduced bit rate against existing algorithms.

This paper describes a theoretical framework for rate allocation to maximize the power efficiency of overall heterogeneous wireless networks whose users are assumed to have multihoming capabilities. Therefore, the paper first presents a power consumption model considering the circuit power and radio transmission power of each wireless network. Using this model, two novel power efficient rate allocation schemes (PERAS) for multihoming services are proposed. In this paper, the convex optimization problem for maximizing the power efficiency over wireless networks is formulated and solved while guaranteeing the required quality of service (QoS). Here, both constant bit rate and variable bit rate services are considered. Furthermore, we extend our theoretical framework by considering the sleep-operation management of wireless networks. The performance results obtained from numerical analysis reveal that the two proposed schemes offer superior performance over the existing rate allocation schemes for multihoming services and guarantee the required QoS.

This paper presents rate-distortion optimization that is considered sequence statistics(complexity) to choose the best macroblock mode decision in H.264. In previous work, Lagrange multiplier is derived by the function of constant value 0.85 and QP so that is not the proper Lagrange multilplier for any image sequence. The proposed algorithm solves the problem by changing constant value 0.85 into adaptive value which is influenced by image complexity, and by reducing the encoder complexity to estimate the image statistics with the multiplication of transformed, quantized rate and distortion. Proposed algorithm is achieved the bit-rate saving up to 5% better than previous method.

MPEG-4 AVC is an international video coding standard that is being developed. The standardization is mainly targeted at a very high compression ratio. MPEG-4 AVC is a general video coding technology that may be used in various applications. Therefore, MPEG-4 AVC needs an efficient rate control method to be applied in various communication environments. This paper is based on the rate control method that considers human visual characteristic. In this paper, we propose the constant bit rate control method using adaptive quantization and scene change detection. Experiments performed using various test images and experimentation results exhibits a favorable performance over existing rate control methods.

Many recent studies have been conducted involving the transport of constant and variable bit rate MPEG-2 video in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. In this study, the traffic control of supporting MPEG-2 video communications in ATM networks under unloaded or loaded network conditions, in which the generated traffic sources are bursty in nature, are considered. We analyse about MPEG-2 traffic and design a model, which makes use of the ATM OAM funcation in order to support the traffic control functions. To implement the model, we propose a scheme, which combines the performance management OAM function and the bandwidth allocation function. Especially, we design this scheme to control the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)MPEG-2 video traffic.

최근 인터넷의 확산과 더불어 디지털 비디오 라이브러리(DVL : Digital Video Library) 서비스에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 통신망 대역폭과 스위칭 환경 하에서는 종단간 QoS 보장하는데 많은 제약사항이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비디오 스트림 처리를 효율적으로 수행하여, 지연-처리율 특성을 만족할 수 있는 스트림 스위칭 구조를 제안하고 이에 대한 성능을 분석하였다. 제안된 ATM-기반 스트림 스위치는 각각 다중화되는 CBR(Constant Bit Rate) 및 VBR(Variable Bit Rate) 스트림의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해야만 한다. 성능분석 결과는 제안된 스위치의 처리율이 r=4일 때 약 0.996의 값을 보였으며, 지연시간도 부하가 0.7 이하일 때 2미만으로 특정되었다. 이 결과는 제안된 구조가 적당한 입력 스트림의 그룹핑을 통하여 비디오 응용을 위한 처리율 및 지연 요구사항 QoS를 보장할 수 있음을 보여준다.

The mobile and multimedia service on wireless network have been leaded from the improvement of telecommunication techniques. A typical multimedia service, a video transmission usually requires larger bandwidth than voice transmission. Many channel allocation algorithms for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFBMA) to use resources more efficiently, Previous channel allocation algorithms have developed with an assumption that the data traffic is constant bit rate (CBR). However, existing algorithms are not suitable to video traffic because it usually generates a variable bit rate (VBR) traffic. In this paper, we proposed a new channel allocation algorithm called a queue-based channel allocation. it is more suitable to transmit the video traffics. Also, a problem are notified in case of realtime generated video traffic and a corresponding heuristic solution was proposed.
