Because best-effort Internet provides no guarantees on packet delay and loss, transient network congestion may cause negative effects on H.264/SVC streaming. Thus, the congestion control is required to adjust bit rate by dropping enhancement layers of H.264/SVC streams. This paper differentiates the video streams according to different levels of importance and proposes weighted-based congestion control algorithms to use the rate-distortion characteristics of streams. To maximize the weighted sum of PSNR values of all streams on a bandwidth-constrained node, this paper proposes WNS(Weighted Near-Sighted) and WFS(Weighted Far-Sighted) algorithms to control the number of enhancement layers of streams. Through simulation, this paper shows that weighted-based congestion control algorithm can efficiently adapt streams to network conditions and analyzes the characteristics of congestion control algorithms.

H.264 SVC(Scalable Video Coding) provides the advantages of low disk storage requirement and high scalability. However, a streaming server or a user terminal has to extract a bit stream from SVC file. This paper proposes a bit stream extraction method which can get the maximum PSNR value while date bit rate does not exceed the available network bandwidth. To do this, this paper obtains the information about extraction points which can get the maximum PSNR value offline and decides the spatial/temporal resolution of a bit stream at run-time. This resolution information along with available network bandwidth is used as the parameters to a bit stream extractor. Through experiment with JSVM reference software, we proved that proposed bit stream extraction method can get a higher PSNR value.

오늘 날 인터넷 상에서 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 비디오 컨텐츠는 그 비중이 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상되고 있으며, 비디오의 특성상 끊김없는 서비스 제공이 필요하다. 이러한 상황에서 컨텐츠 이름 기반의 네트워크인 CCN은 사용자가 요구한 컨텐츠를 중계노드마다 캐싱하여 중계노드에서도 요청자에게 직접 컨텐츠를 제공할 수 있다. 하지만 CCN 상에서 적응적 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 하기 위해서는 동일 컨텐츠에 대한 다양한 비트율의 비디오 컨텐츠를 저장 하고 있어야 한다. 본 연구는 H.264/SVC(scalable video coding)를 CCN 망에 적용하여 전송성능을 분석하고 효율적인 적응적 스트리밍 방식을 제안한다.

본 연구에서는 SVC 기반의 HTTP 스트리밍 서비스에서 스케일러블 임의 접근 (random access) 기능을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제안한다. ISO MPEG에서는 DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) 기술을 표준화 하고 있는데, H.264/AVC 비디오에 대한 임의 접근 기능을 지원하는 구문론 (syntax)과 의미론 (semantics)은 현재 표준의 범위에 포함되어 있는 상황이지만 SVC 비디오에 대한 임의 접근 기능에 대한 기술은 포함되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 SVC의 계층적 구조(layered structure)를 고려한 스케일러블 (scalable) 임의 접근 기능을 지원하기 위한 구문론 (syntax)과 의미론 (semantics)에 대해 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose a practical hybrid transport error control scheme to provide SVC video streaming service over error-prone IP networks. Many error control mechanisms for various video coding standards have been proposed in the literature. However, there is little research result which can be practically applicable to the multilayered coding structure of SVC(the scalable extension of H.264/AVC). We present a new hybrid transport error control scheme that efficiently combines layered Forward Error Correction(FEC) and Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) for better packet-loss resilience. In the proposed hybrid error control, we adopt ACK-based ARQ instead of NACK-based ARQ to maximize throughput which is the amount of effective data packets delivered over a physical link per time unit. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid error control scheme, we adopt NIST-Net network emulator which is a general-purpose tool for emulating performance dynamics in IP networks. It is shown by simulations over the NIST-Net that the proposed hybrid error control scheme shows improved packet-loss resilience even with much less number of overhead packets compared to various conventional error control schemes.

These days, the network convergence for utilizing heterogeneous network on mobile device is being very actively studied. However, understanding characteristics of physical network interfaces and video encoder is needed for using the network convergence technologies efficiently. Thus, this paper proposes an optimized method for streaming video data through different network paths depending on data characteristics and channel condition. Accordingly, unlike the traditional methods, this study divides scalable coded videos by layer importance, the importance of stream information, and the importance in consideration of video decoder's robustness and selectively sends the data via multiple channels. And the experimental results show over 1dB increment in PSNR. The result of this study will provide an optimized video transmission technique in the next generation network convergence environment in which mobile devices have multiple network interfaces.

현재 인터넷의 구조적 문제점을 해결 하기 위한 미래 인터넷 연구는 컨텐츠 기반의 네트워크를 대상으로 하고 있다. 컨텐츠 중심의 네트워크(CCN)에서는 중계 노드가 컨텐츠 데이터를 저장 하고 있다. 하지만 사용자의 환경에 적합한 컨텐츠를 보내기 위해서는 트랜스코딩 과정이 필요 하다. 우리는 이 과정의 오버헤드를 줄이기 위하여 비디오 컨텐츠를 단계별로 계층화 시킬 수 있는 H.264/SVC 코덱을 사용하여, CCN 의 중계 노드에서 사용자 환경에 맞추어 다른 계층의 비디오 컨텐츠 전송을 가능 하게 하는 기법을 제시한다.
