Recently, the W3C has developed the HTML 5 standard to provide various multimedia services as well as a web based streaming. HTML5 based web browsers with the built-in video codecs can be used directly for streaming services, though previous web browsers should contain playback plug-in for streaming services. In addition, an adaptive streaming technology using HTTP/TCP has been standardized, since an Internet firewall does not support RTP/UDP streaming protocol but HTTP/TCP streaming protocol. In this paper, we propose the service migration mechanism among various devices in the HTML5-based adaptive HTTP streaming environments. The proposed algorithm and architecture were modeled for migrating media flows, media flow control, and session control and implemented using JavaScript. Finally, we showed that the proposed mechanism was effective to migrate HTTP streaming service among various devices by performing several experiments.

Because of the explosive growth of mobile devices and development of network technologies, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) adaptive streaming has become a new trend in video delivery to provide efficient multimedia streaming services. As interest in personalized broadcasting grows, the study of interactive multimedia has been actively pursued. The interactive multimedia service is a method of playing media according to a scenario selected by the user. Providing the interactive multimedia service with the existing HTTP adaptive streaming causes switching delay and buffer underflow according to the point in time when the user selects the scenario while the client streams the interactive multimedia and therefore decreases the user QoE (Quality of Experience). In this paper, we propose an adaptive streaming scheme for interactive multimedia service in HTTP adaptive streaming to provide seamless playback. We design the architecture and prefetching scheme for interactive multimedia streaming.

MPEG-DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)는 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group)에서 표준화 중인 HTTP를 이용한 적응형 비디오 스트리밍 기술이다. MPEG-DASH는 인터넷 방화벽에 의해 차단되는 RTP/UDP를 이용한 AV 스트리밍 대신 현재 HTTP/TCP를 이용하여 AV 스트리밍을 하는 추세에 맞춰 유무선 인터넷에서 망 환경 및 단말 환경에 동적 적응적으로 AV 스트리밍을 달성하기 위한 기술에 대한 표준이다. HTTP를 이용한 AV 스트리밍은 서버의 부담을 최소화하고 클라이언트의 지능적 처리에 전적으로 의존하는 스트리밍 방식이다. MPEG-DASH 클라이언트는 HTTP의 파일 전송 요청 또는 파일 일부 전송 요청만을 사용하여 스트리밍을 달성한다. 2011년 7월 제97차 MPEG 회의에서 MPEG-DASH DIS(Draft International Standard) 2차 버전이 승인되었다. 본 논문에서는 이 DIS 2차 버전에 따라 MP4 파일 포맷 기반의 MPEG-DASH 클라이언트를 구현하고 그 동작을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is a technique that adapts its video quality to network conditions for providing Quality of Experience. In the HAS approach, a video content is encoded at multiple bitrates and the encoded video content is divided into several video segments. A HAS player estimates the network bandwidth and adjusts the video bitrate based on estimated bandwidth. However, the segment scheduler in the conventional HAS player requests video segments periodically without considering TCP. If the waiting duration for the next segment request is quite long, the TCP connection can be initialized and it restarts slow-start. Slow-start causes the reduction in TCP throughput and consequentially leads to low-quality video streaming. In this study, we propose a TCP-aware segment scheduling scheme to improve performance of HAS service. The proposed scheme adjusts request time for the next video request to prevent initialization of TCP connection and also considers the point of scheduling time. The simulation proves that our scheme improves the Quality of Service of the HAS service without buffer underflow issue.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) Adaptive Streaming is gaining attention because it changes bitrates to adapt changing network conditions. Since HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming) client downloads the video data based on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), it estimates incorrectly the available bandwidth and leads to an unnecessary video quality change in long-delay networks. In this paper, we propose a buffer-based quality control scheme in order to improve the service quality and smooth playback in the HAS. The proposed scheme estimates accurately the available bandwidth based on a modified streaming model that considers network delay. It also calculates the sustainability of the video quality to prevent an unnecessary quality change and determines the inter-request time on the basis of the buffer status. Through the simulation, we prove that our scheme improves the QoS (Quality of Service) of the HAS service and controls the video quality smoothly in long-delay networks.

Recently, QoS/QoE technology as a part of the HTTP-based adaptive streaming technology has attracted attention. In this paper, we find out HTTP-based adaptive and dynamic streaming technology. It is based on a dynamic adaptive streaming system over HTTP, which is designed and implemented. The system consist of conversion by the bit rate of MPEG2-TS files, division of segment, creation of MPD(Media Presentation Description) and bitrate's player through analysis of MPD File between servers and clients in network environments of dynamic and adaptive. This diverse network environments, continuous and smooth playback of video will be used in various multimedia fields.

HTTP adaptive streaming has recently emerged to handle the rapidly growing traffic and to provide high quality multimedia contents. To improve the QoE (Quality of Experience) for HTTP adaptive streaming service, the average video bitrate should be maximized, and the video switching frequency (difference of bitrate between adjacent segments) and video stalling events need to be minimized. The recently proposed quality adaptation algorithms for HTTP adaptive streaming do not provide high QoE, since detailed QoE factors such as video switching frequency and bitrate difference of adjacent segments, are not considered. In this paper, we propose a SQA (Smooth Quality Adaptation) algorithm to improve the user QoE. The proposed algorithm provides the smoothed QoE, such that it minimizes the unnecessary video switching events by maintaining the quality in a certain period, thus minimizing the bitrate difference of adjacent segments. Through simulation, we confirm that the proposed algorithm reduces the unnecessary switching events, and prevents the sudden decrease in video quality.

최근 네트워크 기술과 스마트 단말의 보급으로 인해 비디오 스트리밍 서비스에 대한 수요가 증가하게 되었다. 네트워크를 효율적으로 사용하여 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해 적응적으로 전송률을 조절하는 HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) 적응적 스트리밍 서비스가 주목 받게 되었다. UHD (Ultra High Definition) 콘텐츠는 HD (High Definition) 콘텐츠에 비해 적어도 4 배 이상의 크기를 갖기 때문에 끊김 없는 UHD 콘텐츠 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 많은 가용 대역폭이 필요하다. 기존의 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 방식은 정상 상태 (Steady State)에서 가용 대역폭보다 낮은 품질의 비디오 세그먼트를 일정 시간마다 주기적으로 요청하여 다운로드 받는다. 정상 상태에서는 가용 대역폭과 콘텐츠의 인코딩 율에 차이에 따라 On-Off 구간의 패턴이 반복되어 발생하고, 빈번한 Off 구간에 의해서 대역폭이 낭비되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍에서 UHD 콘텐츠의 효율적인 대역폭 활용을 위한 세그먼트 전송 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 Off 구간의 빈도수를 줄이기 위한 집단 세그먼트 전송 방식과 대역폭 낭비를 최소화 하기 위한 세그먼트 품질 조절기법으로 구성되어 있다.

Recently, HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming) has been the subject of much attention to improve the QoE (Quality of Experience). In a high latency network, HAS degrades the QoE due to the lost RTT cycle since it replies with a response of one segment to the request of one segment. The server-push based HAS schemes of downloading multiple segments in one request cause QoE degradation due to the buffer underflow. In this paper, we propose a VSSDS (Video Streaming Scheme based on Dynamic Server-push) scheme to improve the QoE in a high latency network. The proposed scheme adjust video quality by estimating available bandwidth and determine the number of segments to be downloaded for each segment request cycle. Through the simulation, the proposed scheme not only improves the average video bitrate but also alleviates the buffer underflow.
