The modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) and inverse MDCT (IMDCT) are employed in subband/transform coding schemes as the analysis/synthesis filter bank based on time domain aliasing cancellation (TDAC). And the MDCT and IMDCT are the most computational intensive operations in layer III of the MPEG audio coding standard. In this paper, we propose a new efficient algorithm for the MDCT/IMDCT computation in various audio coding systems. It is based on the MDCT/IMDCT computation algorithm using the discrete cosine transforms (DCTs), and It employs two discrete cosine transform of type II (DCT-II) to compute the MDCT/IMDCT In addition, it takes advantage of ability in calculating the MDCT/IMDCT computation, where the length of a data block Is divisible by 4. The Proposed algorithm in this paper requires less calculation complexity than the existing method does. Also, it can be implemented by the parallel structure, therefore its structure is particularly suitable for VLSI realization

This paper proposes a new power minimization technique for the frame-based multimedia signal processing. The derivation of the technique is based on the newly proposed microscopic DVS(Dynamic Voltage Scaling) method, where, the operating frequency and the supply voltage levels are dynamically controlled according to the processing requirement for each frame of multimedia data. The multimedia signal processing algorithms are also redesigned and optimized to maximize the power saving efficiency of the microscopic DVS technology. The characterization of the mean/variance distribution of the processing load in the frame-based multimedia signal processing provides the major basis not only for the optimized application of the microscopic DVS technology but also for the optimization of the multimedia algorithms. The power saying efficiency of the proposed DVS approach is experimentally tested with the algorithms of MPEG-2 video decoder and MPEG-2 AAC audio encoder on the ARM9 RISC processor. The experimental results with the diverse MPEG-2 video and audio files show The average power saving efficiencies of 50$\%$ and 30$\%$, respectively. The results also agree very well with those of the analytic derivations.

In this paper we propose the structure of MPEG-4 multimedia player platform for Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) Service. Korea will launch DMB service at next 2004 you based on Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) Service System. This new mobile multimedia broadcasting services provide not only high quality digital audio broadcasting services, but also various multimedia data broadcasting services including high quality video. For the sake of MPEG-4 Systems technologies, it will provide an interactive service to users in the near future. Therefore it terminal shall have various functionalities as well as playing audio-visual contents. However there is no precedence standard for such mobile interactive multimedia broadcasting system. Therefore it is very import to provide the multimedia player platform of DMB service for accelerating the development process of commercial terminal and providing a direction of next DMB terminal structure.

The XMT standard is MPEG-4 Scene Description of textual format. It can be utilized to edit the audio/video media for broadcasting and develop the user oriented media contents. This paper proposes XMT authoring system that supports exchange among contents in various presentation environment. The XMT authoring system creates two levels of textual syntax and semantics: XMT-$\alpha$ format and XMT-$\Omega$ format. Because XMT-$\alpha$ and XMT-$\Omega$ have different expression method about an object, the authoring tool offers interface for them. the authoring tool offers interface for them. Also, it defines interior data structure that can support two file formats, and offers the function that transforms XMT-$\alpha$ into BIFS and transforms XMT-$\Omega$ into SMIL or XMT-$\alpha$. It offers interoperability among multimedia data in various environment that is XMT's characteristic.

디지털 방송기술의 비약적인 발전으로 기존 HD(High Definition) 화질의 4~16배까지 지원 가능한 UHD(Ultra High Definition) 방송 서비스가 제공되는 새로운 시대를 맞이하게 되었다. UHD 방송은 초고선명 비디오와 22.2 채널 오디오 서비스가 가능한 차세대 실감방송 기술이다. 이러한 UHD 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 고압축 영상 코덱 기술인 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding), OFDM(Othogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기반 대용량 전송기술과 다양한 멀티미디어 부가서비스 가능한 전송 프로토콜이 필수적으로 요구된다. 최근 UHD 방송 전송 프로토콜로 표준화 추진 중인 MMT(MPEG Media Transport)는 이기종망에서 적용할 수 있으며, 양방향 전환이 가능하여 시청자의 요구사항을 실시간으로 반영할 수 있다는 장점을 지닌다. 한편, 지상파 UHD 방송 서비스를 빠르고 효과적으로 수신하기 위해 필요한 정보인 NIT(Network Information Table), RRT(Rating Region Table) 및 SDT(Service Description Table)가 MMT 시그널링 프로토콜에서는 포함되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지상파 UHD 방송 서비스의 효과적 수신이 가능한 MMT 기반 지상파 UHD 방송을 위해 NIT, RRT 및 SDT 정보가 포함된 서비스 시그널링 구조을 제안한다.

Tn this paper we described the process and the results of an implementation of Internet terminal using G.729.1 wideband speech codec for next generation network. For this purpose firstly we chose a high performance RISC application processor having DSP features for speech codec processing and enhanced Multimedia Accelerator(eMMA) function for video codec. In the implementation of this terminal, we used G.729.1 codec recently standardized in ITU-T which is a new scalable speech and audio codec that extends 0.729 speech coding standard. To adopt G.729.1 codec to this terminal we transformed most of the fixed point C codes which require more complexity into assembly codes so as to minimize processing time in the processor. As a result of this work we reduced the execution time of the original C codes about 80% and operated in real time on the terminal. For video we used H.263/MPEG-4 codec which is supported by the eMMA with hardware in the processor. In the SIP call processing test connected to real network we obtained under looms end-to-end delay and 3.8 MOS value measured with PESQ instrument. Besides this terminal operated well with commercial terminals.

In this paper, we present an efficient hardware architecture for the H.263 video codec and its VLSI implementation. This architecture is based on the unified interface by which internal hardware engines and an internal RISC processor are connected one another. The unified interface enables the modular design of internal blocks, efficient hardware/software partitioning, and pipelined paralled operations. The developed VLSI supports the H.263 version 2 profile 3 @ level 10, and moreover, both the control protocol H.245 and the multiplexing protocol H.223. Therefore, it can be used for the complete ITU-T H.324 or 3GPP 3G 324M multimedia processor with the help of an external audio codec. Simultaneous encoding and decoding of QCIF format images at a rate greater than 15 frames per second is achieved at 40 MHz clock frequency.
