위성이나 케이블을 통해서 이루어지던 유료 방송 서비스가 최근에는 IPTV 라는 이름 아래 인터넷을 통해서 이루어지고 있다. IP 네트워크를 통해 콘텐츠가 전송되면서 네트워크의 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 멀티캐스트를 통해 이루어진다. 멀티캐스트는 IP 환경에서 동일한 내용의 데이터를 여러명의 특정한 그룹의 수신자에게 동시에 전송하는 것을 말하며, 이때 그룹을 관리하기 위해 인터넷 그룹 관리 프로토콜(Internet Group Management Protocol, IGMP)이 사용된다. IGMP에는 접근제어와 같은 보안 기능을 제공하지 않고 있으며, IPTV와 같은 유료 방송 서비스에서는 멀티캐스트를 통해 전송 되는 콘텐츠를 보호하기위해 접근제어시스템(Conditional Access System, CAS)을 사용한다. 그러나 CAS를 통해 콘텐츠를 보호 하더라도, IGMP에는 보안 기능이 없다는 근본적인 문제에 의해 사용자의 TV 시청을 방해할 수 있다는 가능성이 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 CAS가 운영되면서 교환된 키를 사용해 IGMP메시지에 보안기능을 추가한 기법을 제안한다.

최근 3D 입체영상에 대한 소비자들의 관심 증대로 가전 업체들은 3D TV, 3D Monitor등의 제품들을 출시하고 있고, 이에 따라 3D 콘텐츠 시장도 급격히 성장할 것으로 예상된다. 또한 네트워크 인프라의 발전으로 IP(Internet Protocol)망을 통한 고화질 동영상의 유통이 가능해졌다. 하지만, QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하지 않는 IP 기반 전송환경에서의 고화질 미디어 스트리밍 서비스는 콘텐츠를 시청하는 소비자 관점에서 필수적으로 보장되어야 하는 끊김 없는 영상서비스를 제공하는데 제약이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, IP 망 네트워크 환경을 고려하여 사용자들이 원하는 콘텐츠를 고품질 혹은 저품질로 제공 할 수 있는 Adaptive 스트리밍 서비스에 관한 기술 개발이 등장하게 되었고, 현재 국제 표준화 기구인 MPEG(Moving Picture experts Group)에서 DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)라는 이름으로 표준화가 진행 중에 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 DASH를 이용한 효율적 3D Adaptive 스트리밍 서비스 제공 방안을 제안한다. DASH를 이용한 3D 서비스는 사용자들에게 IP 망을 통해 다양한 품질의 3D 콘텐츠를 제공할 수 있으며, 또한 하나의 3D 콘텐츠로 다양한 디바이스에 적용 가능하다는 이점이 있다.

In this study, we design an applicable model enabling internet protocol television (IPTV) service providers to use a virtual network (VN) for IPTV service delivery. The model addresses the guaranteed service delivery, cost effectiveness, flexible control, and scalable network infrastructure limitations of backbone or IP overlay-based content networks. There are two major challenges involved in this research: i) The design of an efficient, cost effective, and reliable virtual network topology (VNT) for IPTV service delivery and the handling of a VN allocation failure by infrastructure providers (InPs) and ii) the proper approach to reduce the cost of VNT recontruction and reallocation caused by VNT allocation failure. Therefore, in this study, we design a more reliable virtual network topology for solving a single virtual node, virtual link, or video server failure. We develop a novel optimization objective and an efficient VN construction algorithm for building the proposed topology. In addition, we address the VN allocation failure problem by proposing VNT decomposition and reconstruction algorithms. Various simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed VNT, as well as that of the associated construction, decomposition, and reconstruction algorithms in terms of reliability and efficiency. The simulation results are compared with the findings of existing works, and an improvement in performance is observed.

Mobile multimedia services such as TV-call or video streaming are gradually becoming popular in the 3rd or more generation mobile network (IMT-2000). Multimedia traffic is expected to continue increasing into the coming years, and IP technology is considered to be the efficient way of transporting such huge volumes of multimedia traffic. IP-based IMT network platform represents an evolution from IMT-2000. The structure of IP-based IMT network as ubiquitous platform is three-layered model : Middleware including Network Control PlatForm (NCPF) and Service Support PlatForm (SSPF), IP-BackBone (IP-BB), access network including sensor network. Mobility Management (MM) architecture in NCPF is proposed for IP-based IMT network in order to manage routing information and location information separately. The generous existing method of multicast control in IP-based IMT network is Remote Subscription. But Remote Subscription has problem that should be reconstructed whole multicast tree when sender in multicast tree moves to another area. To solve this problem, we propose the way to put Multicast-manager in NCPF.

The transfer capability of HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) network is superior to xDSL. HFC network, however, is not suitable for transferring high quality video due to cable model interfaces. For the services of high quality IPIV or VOD, the extra exclusive downstream transfer system is required without upgrading pre-equipped cable modem and service capability. This paper is aimed to develop the extra exclusive downstream transfer system not changing existing cable modem system but providing same quality of services. This system is composed of the extra exclusive downstream IP-cable sender and modem. This sender and modem have 30 Mbps transfer capability and HDTV stream can be served in the Cable TV network using 21 Mbps HDTV transport stream.

Set-top Box (STB) has evolved from being a device just sitting on top of a TV shelf to a device providing a gateway to the Internet for a home network, receiving services from multiple content providers, and enabling and ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) for the streaming media. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), with its promise to provide a converged access network for multimedia service delivery (such as Triple play & Quadruple play services), has to guarantee QoS support. To enable QoS in IMS-based networks, we have designed a set-top box which provides feedback to the service provider to ensure end-to-end QoS. Our set-top box is designed to provide virtual platforms such that it can support multiple service providers. Each service provider is able to manage its own multimedia streams and ensures the desired network performance for each flow. The set-top box also works as a Home Gateway and provides end-to-end QoS support to the client nodes.

The overlay multicast that has been recently presented as IP alternative for the IP multicast has been getting much persuasion by the computing power of the hardware and the advancement of the network techniques to enforce Routing in application-level. In an overlay multicast, the system resource and the network bandwidth must be utilized efficiently to service real-time HDTV images. Specifically, the system must consider the delay and the jitter that can be incurred at the application-level. In this paper, we implement a server and a client to broadcast HDTV, in the session composed by the existing overlay multicast protocol. The broadcasting server performs the service using a TV tuner, An HDTV camcorder, and files, clients constituting a multicast group relay the received data to other clients. At this time, the information that the clients report periodically, including their delay and the network state, to the server is used as an important information to maintain an overlay session. The implementation is based on the DirectX and its performance is evaluated by the LAN test bed that has been set.

The objective of digital broadcasting has evolved from providing a plain video service to offering a realistic visual experience. Technologies such as 3DTV and UHDTV have been suggested to achieve this new objective by providing an immersive and stereoscopic visual experience. However, owing to the high bandwidth requirements of such services, the broadcasting industry has faced a challenge to find a new transport mechanism for overcoming the bandwidth limitation. The standardization organizations, the Advanced Television Systems Committee, Digital Video Broadcasting, and Telecommunications Technology Association, have been working on the integration of broadcasting and a broadband network (IP) to resolve the bandwidth issue of realistic video services. This paper introduces a frame-level timeline synchronization and transport system target decoder model for providing a stable 3DTV service over a hybrid network. The experimental results indicate that the proposed technologies can be successfully adopted as a reference model in a broadcast-broadband hybrid 3DTV service and other IP-associated hybrid broadcasting services.
