Real-time multimedia streaming over the Internet is rapidly increasing with the popularity of user-created contents, Web 2.0 trends, and P2P (peer-to-peer) delivery support. While many homes today are broadband-enabled, the quality of experience (QoE) of a user is still limited due to frequent interruption of media playout. The vulnerability of TCP (transmission control protocol), the popular transport-layer protocol for streaming in practice, to the packet losses, retransmissions, and timeouts makes it hard to deliver a timely and persistent flow of packets for online multimedia contents. This paper presents TCP-real-time online multimedia environment (ROME), a novel transport-layer framework that allows the establishment and coordination of multiple many-to-one TCP connections. Between one client with multiple home addresses and multiple co-located or distributed servers, TCP-ROME increases the total throughput by aggregating the resources of multiple TCP connections. It also overcomes the bandwidth fluctuations of network bottlenecks by dynamically coordinating the streams of contents from multiple servers and by adapting the streaming rate of all connections to match the bandwidth requirement of the target video.

An XML is widely used for web services, such as SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (Representational State Transfer), and also de facto standard for representing data. Since the XML parser using DOM(Document Object Model) requires a preprocessing task creating a DOM-tree, and then storing it into memory, embedded systems with limited resources typically employ a streaming XML parser without preprocessing. In this paper, we propose a new architecture for the streaming XML parser using an APSearch(Adaptive Parallel Search) on FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). Compared to other approaches, the proposed APSearch parser dramatically reduces overhead on the software side and achieves about 2.55 and 2.96 times improvement in the time needed for an XML parsing. Therefore, our APSearch parser is suitable for systems to speed up XML parsing.

In this paper, we describe the development and optimization of an embedded Biuetooth solution on an SoC platform for real-time audio streaming over a Bluetooth wireless link. The solution includes embedded Bluetooth protocol stack and profile simplemented on a virtual operating system for portability, and other optimization techniques to fully exploit the benefits of multimedia-oriented SoC. The optimization techniques implemented in this paper are memory access minimization by using on-chip scratch pad memory, codec library optimization with DSP and parallel memory access instruction set, and dynamic audio quality adjustment regarding current wireless link status. Experimental results show that the optimized solution presented in this paper can support high-qualify audio streaming without the support of external memory.

멀티미디어의 방송 서비스 제공하기 위해서 IP 멀티캐스트의 대안으로써 현재의 인터넷 환경에서도 동시 접속자 수의 제한과 자원 낭비 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있는 다양한 오버레이 멀티캐스트 기법이 제시되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어의 방송 서비스 제공을 위한 병렬 미디어 스트리밍 서버(PMSS : Parallel Media Streaming Server)시스템에 대해 알아보고 오버레이 멀티캐스트 트리 구성 방안으로 분산형 Tree-First 기반의 Spanning tree 구조의 하나인 TBCP기법에 대해 설명하고, TBCP기법의 한계점을 극복하기 위한 오버레이 멀티캐스트 기반의 알고리즘 적용한 효율적이고 향상된 성능을 제공하는 miniOverlay Broadcasting Control Protocol (mOBCP)에 대해 알아본다. 또 제안한 mOBCP 멀티캐스트 기법을 기반으로 PMSS를 이용하여 오버레이 방송 서비스를 제공하는 방안에 제시한다. 성능 비교는 Single 서버와 PMSS로 멀티미디어 방송 서비스를 제공했을 때의 지연시간(Latency)를 비교해 보고 mOBCP기법과 TBCP기법을 PMSS 시스템에서 적용하여 사용자 요구량에 따른 서비스 받는대 걸리는 지연시간을 비교함으로써 제안된 기법의 효율성을 보여주고 있다.

As network resources have become faster and demands for multimedia service through network have increased, the demand for Media server system has increased. These kinds of media server solve their bottle neck problem of internal storage device by using parallel system which takes advantage of fast network resource. Many vendors have suggested each of their media server system to solve these problem radically, but most of them require major modification of infra component and additional drawback has added. For example, storage mechanism for specific media requires new file system which is totally different from traditional one, and algorithm for enhancing performance may not suit for traditional operating system environment. In this paper, we designed a parallel media server based on web interface of traditional system and implemented a program for media server. Implemented server system performs parallel processing through web interface without any modification of traditional system, and controls which is related to merging load by distributed data is charged only to client and control server and consequently load of storage server can be minimized. And also, data transfer protocol for streaming media includes Retransfer algorithm and client Admission control policy relevant to performance of whole system.
