Seamless streaming of multimedia content via heterogeneous networks to viewers using a variety of devices has been a desire for many multimedia services, for which the multimedia contents should be adapted to usage environments such as network characteristics, terminal capabilities, and user preferences. Scalability in video coding is one of attractive features to meet dynamically changing requirements of heterogeneous networks. Currently a new scalable video coding (SVC) is standardizing in the Joint Video Team (JVT) of the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG), which will be released as Extension 3 of H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. In this paper, we introduce new technologies of SVC and evaluate performance of it especially regarding on overhead bit-rate and coding efficiency to support spatial, temporal, and quality scalability.

Seamless streaming of multimedia content that ensures Quality of Service over heterogeneous networks has been a desire for many multimedia services, for which the multimedia contents should be adapted to usage environments such as network characteristics, terminal capabilities, and user preferences. Scalability in video coding is a good feature to meet the requirement of heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a dynamic adaptation scheme of H.264/AVC SVC bit-stream using the MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) tool. MPEG-21 DIA framework provides systematic solutions in choosing an adaptation operation to given conditions and supports interoperable video adaptation. The experiment results show that the proposed adaptation scheme provides QoS-enabled delivery and consumption of SVC with time-varying constraints of network, terminal, and user preference, in a robust and efficient way. In particular, the proposed adaptation scheme is proved to work well with very low delay under the condition that the variation rate of the given network bandwidth is upto 62%.

Recently, with the rapid development of video equipment and technology, tremendous video information is produced and utilized in military domain to acquire battlefield information or for effective command control. Note that the video playback devices currently used in the military domain ranges from low-performance tactical multi-functional terminals (TMFT) to high-performance video servers and the networks where the video information is transmitted also range from the low speed tactical information and communication network (TICN) to ultra-high speed defense broadband converged networks such as M-BcN. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient streaming technique that can efficiently transmit defense video information in heterogeneous communication equipment and network environments. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and balanced selection algorithm based Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming technique and the feasibility of the proposed technique is verified by simulations. The simulation results based on our BitTorrent simulator show that the proposed balanced selection scheme outperforms the sequential or rarest selection algorithm.

오늘 날 인터넷 상에서 가장 많은 비중을 차지하는 비디오 컨텐츠는 그 비중이 더욱 증가할 것으로 예상되고 있으며, 비디오의 특성상 끊김없는 서비스 제공이 필요하다. 이러한 상황에서 컨텐츠 이름 기반의 네트워크인 CCN은 사용자가 요구한 컨텐츠를 중계노드마다 캐싱하여 중계노드에서도 요청자에게 직접 컨텐츠를 제공할 수 있다. 하지만 CCN 상에서 적응적 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 하기 위해서는 동일 컨텐츠에 대한 다양한 비트율의 비디오 컨텐츠를 저장 하고 있어야 한다. 본 연구는 H.264/SVC(scalable video coding)를 CCN 망에 적용하여 전송성능을 분석하고 효율적인 적응적 스트리밍 방식을 제안한다.

One of the existing terrestrial multi-channel DTV service frameworks, called KoreaView, provides four programs, composed of MPEG-2 based one HD video and H.264/AVC based three SD videos within one single 6MHz frequency bandwidth. However the additional 3 SD videos can not provide enough quality due to its reduced spatial resolution and low target bitrates. In this paper, we propose a framework, which is called a terrestrial multi-channel high quality hybrid DTV service, to overcome such a weakness of KoreaView services. In the proposed framework, the three additional SD videos are encoded based on an H.264/SVC Spatial Base layer, which is compliant with H.264/AVC, and are delivered via broadcasting networks. On the other hand, and the corresponding three additional HD videos are encoded based on an H.264/SVC Spatial Enhancement layer, which are transmitted over broadband networks such as Internet, thus allowing the three additional videos for users with better quality of experience. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework, various experimental results are provided for real video contents being used for DTV services. First, the experimental results show that, when the SD sequences are encoded by the H.264/SVC Spatial Base layer at a target bitrate of 1.5Mbps, the resulting PSNR values are ranged from 34.5dB to 42.9dB, which is a sufficient level of service quality. Also it is noted that 690kbps-8,200kbps are needed for the HD test sequences when they are encoded in the H.264/SVC Spatial Enhancement layer at similar PSNR values for the same HD sequences encoded by MPEG-2 at a target bitrate of 12 Mbps.

In this paper we have proposed a linear time algorithm for solving the minimum sharable-bandwidth tree construction problem. The public-shared network is a user generated infrastructure on which a user can access the Internet and transfer data from any place via access points with sharable bandwidth. Recently, the idea of constructing the SVC video streaming delivery system on public-shared network has been proposed. To send video stream from the stream server to clients on public-shared network, a tree structure is constructed. The problem of constructing a tree structure to serve the video streaming requests by using minimum amount of sharable bandwidth has been shown to be NP-hard. The previously published algorithms for solving this problem are either unable to find solutions frequently or less efficient. The experimental results showed that our algorithm is excellent both in the success rate of finding solutions and in the quality of solutions.

This paper proposes the mechanism which improves the qualify of video on a limited network bandwidth by applying the ROI technique to an H.264 Scalable Extension technique. The network environment assumed in this parer is the next generation network convergence environment in which the mobile device has one or more network interfaces. Therefore, we allocate the priority to video packets as the hierarchy structure of H.264 SVC-encoded video stream and ROI information, and transmit those packets over appropriate network channel for using those multiple network interfaces. This paper shows two experiments first one is extracting and allocating the video stream on an appropriate network channel, second one is unequal packet transmission by allocated priorities (e.g. ROI). Performance evaluations show that this approach delivers an improved decoded video quality when compared with conventional transmission schemes, especially on device which has multiple network interfaces.

SVC(Scalable Video Coding)는 다양한 장치와 변화하기 쉬운 대역폭을 가지는 네트워크 환경에서 만족할 수 있는 스트리밍 환경을 제공하기 위해서 디자인되었지만, 본 논문에서는 SVC를 간단하면서도 효율적으로 채널 변경시간을 감소시킬 수 있도록 IPTV시스템에 응용하였다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 IPTV 헤드엔드와 LHR(Last Hop Router)사이의 네트워크 대역폭 일부분에 SVC 기본 계층으로 압축된 채널들을 정적 채널에 할당한다. 따라서 사용자가 정적 채널에 속하는 채널을 선택하면 짧은 네트워크 지연 시간 이내에 기본 계층을 전송 받아 동영상을 볼 수 있으며, 곧바로 향상 계층을 전송 받아 사용자는 정상 품질의 영상을 시청할 수 있다.

CAS used in IPTV or DTV has an environment of sending single type of contents through single streaming. But it can be improved to support users' various video applications through single streaming by combining with SVC. For such an environment, efficiency should be firstly considered, and hierarchical key management methods for billing policy by service levels should be applied. This study aims to look into considerations to apply SVC to CAS and propose SVC encryption in CAS environment. The security of the proposed scheme is based on the safety of CAS and oneway hash function. If the proposed scheme is applied, scalability can be efficiently provided even in the encrypted contents and it is possible to bill users according to picture quality. In addition, the test results show that SVC contents given by streaming service with the average less than 10%overhead can be safely protected against illegal uses.
