Recently, the web-based adaptive streaming service, DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), is receiving more attention. However, existing network-based and buffer-based video quality control schemes in DASH environments make oscillation of segment throughput, causing degradation of the quality of experience (QoE) with frequent quality changes and playback interruptions because these schemes do not consider the content characteristics. In this paper, we propose a C-DASH (Content Characteristics based Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) scheme in order to improve the QoE in DASH environments. The C-DASH scheme performs seamless and smooth quality control based on the segment throughput, buffer status, and segment size of the content. Based on simulation results, it is confirmed that the C-DASH scheme can improve the QoE, when compared with the existing quality control schemes.

UHD content is characterized by higher bandwidth requirements to provide seamless playback. The existing HTTP adaptive streaming scheme periodically requests video segment of lower quality than the available bandwidth in the steady state. In the steady state, the On-Off pattern is repeated due to the difference of the available bandwidth and the encoding rate of the content. And the repeated Off interval is causing the problem that can not efficiently use the available bandwidth. In the wireless environment where the delay and loss rate are higher with large bandwidth fluctuations, this problem is exacerbated because the available bandwidth is estimated inaccurately. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a segment scheduling scheme for efficient bandwidth utilization of UHD contents streaming in wireless environment. Proposed scheme is a group segment that simultaneously reqeusts multiple segments in one request message in order to reduce frequency of OFF interval. Through simulation, Our scheme improves bandwidth utilization.

Adaptive bitrate streaming is a crucial element in the implementation of high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet. Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) has lately emerged as the de facto solution for over-the-top (OTT) video streaming services. In this paper, we perform macro-level analysis on a real-world MPEG-DASH-based Internet live broadcasting service to gain insight into its behavior throughout the end-to-end service-provision chain, from broadcasters to viewers. Based on this analysis, we propose methods to improve the quality-of-experience (QoE) of MPEG-DASH-based services, particularly with regard to reducing broadcasting delays between recording and viewing of videos, as well as synchronizing client terminals.

A streaming service is considered as an important fact to listen musics at mobile device in the popular smart-phone era. An apple's HTTP Live Streaming method is used in iOS and a RTSP(Real-time Streaming Protocol) method is used in Android OS. A Wowza Media Sever will be used to support both apple and android mobile streaming. This paper describes a design and implementation of smart-phone app. to record user's songs by userself with smart-phone recording function, upload to the streaming server and to service real-time mobile streaming play for an user's selected song and provide song sharing SNS functions.

In today's technology streaming service's QoS technologiey is an issue. On quality video streaming service there are some technical issues exist, such as buffering. This submission is "Adaptive dual-streaming system design" which is for the integrity of the data streaming that is sent to TCP and UDP for faster transmission of data to the stream. This system provides real-time incoming video encoding in bitrate of h.264-based H through a process based on the video footage of several server and client-to-TCP and UDP via Adaptive providing streaming services in a network environment. This is an unspecified number of buffers in a network environment and continued through the minimization of various streaming for playback of videos and multimedia will be utilized in the field.

In this paper, we address the channel zapping time problem of video streaming services based on HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) on smart Over-The-Top Set-Top Boxes (OTT STBs). Experimental analysis of the channel zapping time, show that smart OTT STBs inevitably suffer from the accumulated zapping time through channel change request, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) leave/join, synchronization delay, video buffer delay, and STB processing delay when providing HLS services. As a practical solution for the zapping time reduction, an adaptive buffering method is proposed. The proposed method exploits two adaptive buffers added to the basic HLS player. These two adaptive buffers are responsible for constantly buffering previous and next channels relative to the current channel. Implementation and test results show that a stable zapping time less than one second can be achieved even under diverse video bitrate changes and varying network conditions by the proposed adaptive buffering method.

There are many current researches that are looking to improve the quality of HTTP adaptive streaming services. However, the existing schemes have a serious problem of QoE (Quality of Experience) degradation because few consider VBR video transmission. To cope with this problem, in this paper, we proposed a novel media quality adaptation scheme called CB-DASH (Content and Buffer-aware DASH). The proposed scheme controlled the video quality considering the VBR characteristics of video and the client's buffer state. Through the simulation, we proved that our scheme accomplished a more accurate estimated bandwidth than the conventional DASH and improved the QoE of streaming service.

Currently, several research studies are looking to improve the quality of DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) based live streaming services. However, conventional DASH based streaming schemes cannot provide seamless playback while maintaining the low buffering and it adversely affects the QoE (Quality of Experience). To address this problem, we propose the QoE driven segment scheduling scheme. The proposed scheme adaptively schedules the segment request message according to the time and variation of segment fetching. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme improves the QoE of live streaming service by maintaining the low buffering delay and reducing the buffer underflow events.

본 논문은 HTTP protocol을 이용한 미디어 Streaming 서비스 표준인 MPEG-DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)를 기반으로 한 N-Screen 서비스 동기화 방안을 제시한다. N-Screen 서비스란 다수의 미디어 Device를 이용하여 하나의 콘텐츠들을 공유 및 전송하는 서비스를 뜻한다. 이는 MPEG-DASH 표준 기술을 활용함으로써 보다 효율적인 서비스 이용이 가능하다. DASH는 다수의 품질의 같은 영상들을 시간별로 분할하여 Server에서 보유하여 한 Device에게 네트워크 환경에 맞춰 가장 적합한 Segment들을 전달 및 전환함으로써 끊기지않는 Streaming 서비스가 가능하다. 하지만 현재 MPEG-DASH 표준기술에서는 N-Screen 서비스에 대한 활용방안 시나리오가 재정되어 있지 않아 다수의 Device에서 Segment를 끊김없는 Media Streaming 서비스를 지원하기 위한 방안이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 한 Device가 다른 Device에게 N-screen을 위한 동기화 정보를 전송함으로써 특정 콘텐츠가 끊기지 않고 연이어 볼 수 있는 동기화를 이룰 수 있는 방안을 대한 서비스 시나리오를 제시한다.
