현재 단대단(End-to-End) 비디오 서비스의 질을 높이기 위해 많은 연구가 각 계층별로 진행되고 있다. 전송계층에서의 오류 제어(Error Control), 네트워크계층에서의 QoS (Quality of Service)모델, 표현 및 응용계층에서의 오류 강인성(Error resilience)/오류 은닉(Error concealment) 등이 연구 개발되고 있다. 그러나 계층 간의 연관성이 높은 부분에서의 통합을 통한 성능향상에 관한 연구는 그 필요성과 효율에 비해 아직도 미흡하다. 본 논문은 QoS 서비스 모델하에서의 적응적 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 적용 및 우선순위에 따른 비디오패킷(VP ,VideoPacket)을 통하여 효율적인 계층화 비디오 스트리밍을 단대단 QoS성능의 향상에 관점을 맞추어 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 최소 화질 보장과 같은 효율에서 보다 적은 가격에서의 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 통합형 서비스(IntServ, IS, Integrated Service) 의 자원예약을 사용하는 방법과 높은 가격의 자원 예약을 사용하지 않는 차별화 서비스(DiffServ, DS, Differentiated Service)를 적용했으며 이에 보장형 서비스의 특징을 공통을 가지기 위해 계층화 FEC를 적용하였으며 적절한 가격의 조절을 위하여 비디오패킷을 통한 데이터 분할을 적용하였다. 본 논문은 또한 최종 사용자의 만족도를 PSNR(Picture Signal to Noise Ration)과 PSNR에서 표현하지 못하는 부분의 평가를 위해 손상프레임율(DFR, Damaged Frame Ratio)과 오류프레임율(EFR,Error Frame Ratio)을 제안 이를 통해 평가하고자 한다. 제안하는 방식의 실험 결과는 비디오 코딩계층과 전송 계층, 네트워크 계층의 결합된 성능이며 이는 또한 화질의 개선뿐만 아니라 사용자의 가격문제에 대하여서도 비교 분석하였다.

Differentiated services network (DiffServ) aims to provide the same service to a group of connections that have similar Quality of Service requirements. One of the essential function to realize DiffServ is the traffic conditioning mechanism. The paper proposes the enhanced traffic conditioning mechanism which can assure the reserved rates of TCP and UDP flows and support fair distribution of excess bandwidth. The simulation results show that the new mechanism is rather insensitive of the effect of UDP against TCP throughput, and performs better both in terms of throughput assurance and fair distribution of excess bandwidth in case of well-provisioned and over-provisioned network environment.

In this paper, we relatively differentiate maximum delay for each Assured Service subclass in Differentiated Services by allocating bandwidth to each subclass differently. To maximize the throughput for the In-profile traffic and the link utilization, we propose a Cofiguration method of RIO and the admission control criterion based on the buffer size determined by the network topology and the ratio of bandwidth allocated to each subclass. Simulation results show that the proposed method can calculate the capacity to guarantee the QoS for the Assured Service and maximize the throughput for the In-profile traffic and the link utilization by applying the RIO parameter values set through the proposed configuration method.

Performance of TCP can be severely degraded in WLP-based Mobile IP wireless networks where packet loss not related to network congestion occurs frequently during WLP-based inter-subnetwork handoff by user mobility. To resolve such a problem in the networks using WLP-based Mobile IP, the packet buffering method recovering seamlessly the packets dropped due to user mobility has been proposed. The packet buffering method at a bridge station recovers those packets dropped during handoff by forwarding buffered packets at the old bridge station to the WLP device. But, when the WLP device moves to a congested bridge station in a new WLP foreign subnetwork, those buffered packets forwarded by the old bridge station are dropped and TCP transmission performance of a WLP device in the congested bridge station degrades due to increased congestion by those forwarded burst packets. In this paper, a PBM(Packet Bridge Marker) is proposed for preventing buffered out-of-profile(OUT) packets from reducing the throughput of in-profile(IN) packets of an Assured Service WLP device. From this operation, the packet losses of buffered OUT packets are avoided and the throughput of IN and Total packets of an AS WLP device are increased.

QoS support for the Internet traffic becomes an important future requirement of various network devices such as routers and switches. Differentiated Services(Diffserv) is considered as an efficient feasible solution for providing different service characteristics to different classes of network users. IETF Diffserv working group has already defined a general architecture of Diffserv and is extending its detail features. Network vendors also start implementing Diffserv enabled network devices. However, the management of Diffserv is not fully standardized yet. This paper, we present methods of traffic flow control in Diffserv Networks. we have designed a Diffserv Traffic Control system.

In this paper we have proposed policy-based network management system architecture for Internet QoS support Mobile IP networks that is divided into four layers(application layer, information management layer, policy control layer, device layer), then we propose an implementation strategy of policy-based network management system to enforce various control and network management operations and a model of policy server using SCOPS(Simple Common Open Policy Service) protocol that is developed in this research. For policy-based mobile IP network management system implementation, we have derived four policy classes(access control, mobile IP operation, QoS control, and network monitoring) and we showed operation procedures for each policy scenarios. Finally we have implemented Internet QoS support policy-based mobile IP network testbed and management system and verified out DiffServ policy enforcement behaviors for a target class service that is arranged a specific bandwidth on network congestion conditions.

Next Generation Networks (NGN) is defined as IP-based networks with multi-services and with multi-access networks. A variety of services and access technologies are co-existed within NGN. Therefore there are numerous transport technologies such as Differentiated Services (DiffServ), Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), and the combined transport technologies. In such an environment, flows are aggregated and de-aggregated multiple times in their end-to-end paths. In this research, a method for calculating end-to-end delay bound for such a flow, provided that the information exchanged among networks regarding flow aggregates, especially the maximum burst size of a flow aggregate entering a network. We suggest an admission control mechanism that can decide whether the requested performance for a flow can be met. We further verify the suggested calculation and admission algorithm with a few realistic scenarios.

In this paper, we propose a novel resource allocation scheme which can maximize capacity for QoS guarantee of Assured Service in Differentiated Services. Performance of the proposed resource allocation scheme is analyzed with each buffer management scheme such as RIO and Adaptive RIO. To prevent an early random drop of the admitted In-profile packet, Adaptive RIO scheme updates parameters of RIO scheme every time interval according to the estimated numbers of maximum packet arrivals of In-profile traffic and Out-of-profile traffic during the next time interval. The numbers of maximum packet arrivals during the next time interval are estimated based on the buffer size determined by the network topology and the ratio of bandwidth allocated to each subclass. We can find from simulation results that proposed resource allocation scheme with Adaptive RIO can guarantee QoS and can maximize capacity for Assured Service.

In this paper, we propose quality of service mechanisms for flow-based routers which have to handle several million flows at wire speed in high-speed networks. Traffic management mechanisms are proposed for guaranteed traffic and non-guaranteed traffic separately, and then the effective harmonization of the two mechanisms is introduced for real networks in which both traffic types are mixed together. A simple non-work-conserving fair queuing algorithm is proposed for guaranteed traffic, and an adaptive flow-based random early drop algorithm is proposed for non-guaranteed traffic. Based on that basic architecture, we propose a dynamic traffic identification method to dynamically prioritize traffic according to the traffic characteristics of applications. In a high-speed router system, the dynamic traffic identification method could be a good alternative to deep packet inspection, which requires handling of the IP packet header and payload. Through numerical analysis, simulation, and a real system experiment, we demonstrate the performance of the proposed mechanisms.
