In general, it is essential that contents are to be provided with proper bitrate according to network conditions in order to support higher quality of video streaming services over wired and wireless networks. Recently, DASH is adopted by the MPEG as the standard for HTTP based adaptive streaming technology and consists of the server and clients. The clients should parse XML files from the server and play contents after accessing the finely divided segments into various bitrates. In this paper, we designed a Smart AP(Access Point) which exists between DASH contents server and Non-DASH clients enables provide DASH services to Non-DASH clients. In addition, proposed Smart AP provides DASH service to various types of clients as maintaining the existing environment without additional development costs.

Virtual Reality (VR) has lately gained significant attention primarily driven by the recent market availability of consumer devices, such as mobile phone-based Head Mounted Displays (HMDs). Apart from classic gaming use cases, the delivery of $360^{\circ}$ video is considered as another major application and is expected to be ubiquitous in the near future. However, the delivery and decoding of high-resolution $360^{\circ}$ videos in desirable quality is a challenging task due to network limitations and constraints on available end device decoding and processing. In this paper, we focus on aspects of $360^{\circ}$ video streaming and provide an overview and discussion of possible solutions as well as considerations for future VR video streaming applications. This paper mainly focuses on the status of the standardization activities, Omnidirectional MediA Format (OMAF), to support interoperable $360^{\circ}$ video streaming services. More concretely, MPEG's ongoing work for OMA aims at harmonization of VR video platforms and applications. The paper also discusses the integration in MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH), which is considered as $360^{\circ}$ video streaming services with OMAF content. In context of the general OMAF service architecture.

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.

In these days, 360 degree videos, which is provided via VR, have high resolution and quality of 8K. These kinds of videos inevitably require streaming technology which guarantees QoS. Therefore, we suggest MPEG DASH HTTP protocol which stably provides streaming services of high quality videos in 8K, which are 360 degree tile-encoded, on low-spec devices such as OTT and IPTV Settop and Tile Segment Cache management structure for servers operating streaming services.

In this paper, we propose an estimation of network jitter that occurs when transmitting TCP packets containing MPEG-2 TS in progressive streaming service over wired or wireless Internet networks. Based on the estimated network jitter size, we can calculate required de-jitter buffering time to absorb the network jitter at the receiver side. For this purpose, by exploiting the PCR timestamp existing in the TS packet header, we create a new timestamp information that is marked in the optional field of TCP packet header to estimate the network jitter. By using the proposed de-jitter buffering scheme, it is possible to employ the conventional T-STD buffer model without any modification in the progressive streaming service over IP networks. The proposed method can be applicable to the recently developed international standard, MPEG DASH (dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP) technology.

Recently, HTTP Adaptive Streaming(HAS), a video streaming service over the HTTP based web platform has become common. The use of HAS service in mobile communication devices such as mobile phones and tablet PCs is rapidly expanding. This paper addresses ways to improve the quality of HAS service by enhancing the terms of viewer satisfaction. HAS systems have several internal operational processes, which can affect viewer satisfaction. Such processes include, the quality determination for the next video chunk, the TCP connections-setup procedure and the congestion control operation of the TCP. This paper proposes a transmission scheme to improve the HAS quality services over mobile web. The proposed scheme takes into consideration the past implicit communication state of the receiver's playback buffer occupancy. The results of these experiments indicate that the proposed scheme can improve the quality of HAS service from the mobile viewer's point of view.

CISCO VNI predicted an average annual growth rate of 66% for mobile video traffic between 2014 and 2019 and accordingly much academic research related to video streaming has been initiated. In video streaming, Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) is a streaming technique in which a source video is stored on a server at variable encoding rates and each streaming user requests the most appropriate video encoding rate considering their channel capacity. However, these days, ABR related studies are only focusing on real-time rate adaptation omitting energy efficiency though it is one of the most important requirement for mobile devices, which may cause dissatisfaction for streaming users. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient prefetching based dynamic adaptive streaming technique by considering the limited characteristics of the batteries used in mobile devices, in order to reduce the energy waste and provide a similar level of service in terms of the average video rate compared to the latest ABR streaming technique which does not consider the energy consumption. The simulation results is showing that our proposed scheme saves 65~68% of energy at the average global mobile download speed compared to the latest high performance ABR algorithm while providing similar rate adaptation performance.

In recent years, HTTP adaptive streaming (HAS) has attracted considerable attention as the state-of-the-art technology for video transport. HAS dynamically adjusts the quality of video streaming according to the network bandwidth and device capability of users. Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has also emerged as a future Internet architecture, which is a novel communication paradigm that integrates content delivery as a native network primitive. These trends have led to the new research issue of harmonizing HAS with the in-network caching provided by CCN routers. Previous research has shown that the performance of HAS can be improved by using the H.264/SVC(scalable video codec) in the in-network caching environments. However, the previous study did not address the misbehavior that causes video freeze when overestimating the available network bandwidth, which is attributable to the high cache hit rate. Thus, we propose a new SVC-based adaptation algorithm that utilizes a drop timer. Our approach aims to stop the downloading of additional enhancement layers that are not cached in the local CCN routers in a timely manner, thereby preventing excessive consumption of the video buffer. We implemented our algorithm in the SVC-HAS client and deployed a testbed that could run Smooth-Streaming, which is one of the most popular HAS solutions, over CCNx, which is the reference implementation of CCN. Our experimental results showed that the proposed scheme (SLA) could avoid video freeze in an effective manner, but without reducing the high hit rate on the CCN routers or affecting the high video quality on the SVC-HAS client.
