During the last decade, Internet protocol television(IPTV), broadcasting of multimedia services using well understood Internet technologies, is a fast spreading technology for distributing multimedia content to consumers. As IPTV services advance, an increasing user demand and tremendous content volume of multimedia content cause some difficulties in network resource management. In this paper, we propose an improved load balancing algorithm for video-on-demand(VoD) service. Unlike existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm considers user's behaviors for VoD service, and determines the most efficient allocation of VoD requests by estimating expected server load and expected user waiting time.

This paper studied the relationship between the quality of perceived service and the consumer satisfaction on IPTV which is on the increase in the number of subscribers as the representative of a convergence service of the communication and broadcasting. Using the measurement tools of five factors such as the perceived service quality, the accommodation of information techniques, the consumer satisfaction, the intention of continuous use and the users' intention to recommend to others, the empirical study on IPTV users was taken. The results showed that the perceived serviced service quality, usefulness and easy access to IPTV have strong effects on the use and the users, intention to recommend to others.

Development of IP network technology creates new service which applying to fusion technologies such as IPTV, VoIP, and so on. Especially, Next generation IP is called IPv6 which will solve the lack of IP. IPv6 is very important on IPTV which needs best quality of service about security, QoS, and bandwidth. In this paper, we constructed experimental network, measured PSNR which computes the peak signal-to-reconstructed video measurement in experimental network environment, analyzed PSNR value. And as a result of measurement, we, Propose optimum network environment for IPTV service provider and transition mechanism designer.

As smartphones and tablets are drastically spreading, mobile IPTV service becomes very important emerging issue in addition to existing DMB broadcasting, and the consumption of personalized multimedia services is increasing in the mobile Internet environment. While the previous research focuses on influencing factors of the initial acceptance intention of the mobile IPTV Service, this study intends to find the factors that affect continuous use intention of the mobile IPTV service which has become one of core services in the mobile environment. The research model and the hypotheses of this study could be derived on the basis of four referent theories (that is, mobile service quality model (MOBISQUAL), post acceptance model (PAM), expectation confirmation theory (ECT) and extended technology acceptance model (ETAM)). In order to empirically test the hypotheses, the field survey was conducted for 278 respondents. Twelve ones of fifteen hypotheses were found to be statistically significantly adopted from the results of structural equation model analyses using Smart PLS 3.0. The theoretical contribution of this study is to empirically investigate the factors that affect the continuous use intention of mobile IPTV service. And the practical contribution is to provide the implementation guidelines of managing the service quality to enhance the competitive power of mobile IPTV business.

This letter proposes a weighted scheduling mechanism for Internet protocol television (IPTV) to improve the loss performance of multicast transmission over an Ethernet passive optical network (EPON). We propose a new weight policy from the number of multicast receivers to proportionally allocate the downstream bandwidth of IPTV traffic. The proposed mechanism is used in an optical line terminal to decrease lost packets of favorite IPTV services because the lost multicast packets are proportional to the number of receivers. The total proportion of lost multicast packets is reduced by up to 73% in an EPON.

Current communication and broadcasting services are moved to integrated convergence service. So IPTV(Internet Protocol based TeleVision) services are growth rapidly. Traditional TV were provide simplex service. but IPTV will provide duplex service that is possible of interaction with TV and audience. Therefore current researches are focusing the Social TV service. at this point, we see the trend of Social TV system for research and implementation.

IPTV 및 인터넷방송 서비스의 경우 많은 네트워크 자원을 활용하여야 한다. 다수의 사용자에게 효율적인 IPTV 및 방송서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 멀티캐스트를 통한 방법이 사용되어 지고 있다. 하지만 기존의 멀티캐스트의 한계와 다양한 형태의 네트워크 상황에서의 문제점이 있다. 또한 기존의 PC 기반의 서비스에서 넷북, 스마트폰의 다양한 사용자의 기기를 서비스하기 위한 한계점이 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하고 멀티캐스트의 장점을 수용한 오버레이 멀티캐스트 기법을 사용하여 IPTV 및 인터넷방송서비스에 최적화된 방송서비스 시스템을 설계 하고 구현하였다.

최근에 광대역망을 기반으로 방송서비스를 포함하여 통방융합 서비스를 제공하는 IPTV 서비스에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. IPTV 서비스에 있어서 기존의 방송채널들은 킬러 애플리케이션의 하나로써 재사용되어지며 이를 위한 IPTV 미들웨어 구조에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 특히 대부분의 상용 서비스는 기존의 방송서비스에서 사용되고 있는 기술을 수정없이 사용하고자 하는 이유로 인하여 IP 환경에 비효율적인 구조를 채택하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방송채널을 재전송함에 있어 IP 환경에 최적화 될 수 있는 기술을 제안하고자 한다.

IPTV is an emerging technology that combines both broadcasting and tele-communication technologies, and provides various multi-media contents to the service subscribers. In general, IPTV broadcasters transmit scrambled signals (multi-media contents) to the paying subscribers, and the users within the acknowledged network descramble the signals using the smart-card. That is, users are verified through communication between STB (Set-Top Box) and smart-card. In 2004, Jiang et al. proposed a secure protocol regarding the verification process. The method has been modified and enhanced by several following research works. However, all the methods that have been proposed so far required modular exponentiation operations which may raise the smart-card costs. In this paper, we propose a new efficient mutual authentication and session-key establishment protocol using only hash functions and exclusive-or operations, and show that the proposed protocol is still secure under various security attacks.

IPTV current service change from a TV IPTV service providing digital broadcast, one- way VOD service, terrestrial broadcast to a web IPTV service,which is using wireless networks which is also used by interactive digital broadcasting However, IPTV, is being currently serviced, causes a lot of interaction with viewers because of inconvenience of using and has problems that users do not have enough content type to access. Additionally, there is also a problem that adding contents cover a large part of screen. To solve these problems, the thing that adding QR code to IPTV screen being recognized by Smartphone. In this way, we can provide the idea how to access to interaction information and also provide to clients an easy way creating and accessing to the contents by developing an editor that can insert QR code to video.
