To provide on-demand video streaming services through the network, video objects with both high and low client request rates should be served efficiently. In this paper, we propose a dynamic on-demand streaming approach for providing services efficiently regardless of the client request rate. This approach can maintain QoS by transitioning the service scheme according to the request rate. The server provides services by the Heuristic broadcasting approach when the client request rate is low and by Striping broadcast, one of many Periodic broadcast approaches, when the client request rate is high. The server knows the variations of client request rates by the number of service channels and decides the transition to more efficient service schemes on its own. We simulated this scheme transition with various client request intervals and traces from a company providing streaming services. The results show that the performance of our approach is reasonable.

This paper introduces an implementation of SVC player which runs on Android platform and can play SVC video stream on line from SVC video server. SVC(Scalable Video Coding) is a scalable video encoding technique which supports three scalability such as temporal scalability, spatial scalability, and quality scalability. To implement the SVC player on Android, we implemented a SVC decoder using JSVM open source written in C/C++ as a native part on Android and developed Android UI in Java. Also we built an SVC encoding system off line and an SVC streaming server to conduct on-line SVC streaming experiments. Finally, after we installed the SVC player developed in this paper on Motoroi mobile phone, we evaluated and analyzed on-line streaming performance of the SVC player. The result showed that the player worked well and it had no jitter in streaming with the size of QCIF and 10fps from a fully encoded SVC video source.

The proxy mechanism widely used in WWW systems offers low-delay data delivery by means of "proxy server". By applying the proxy mechanisms to the video streaming system, we expect that high-quality and low-delay video distribution can be accomplished without introducing extra load on the system. In addition, it is effective to adapt the quality of cached video data appropriately in the proxy if user requests are diverse due to heterogeneity in terms of the available bandwidth, end-system performance, and user′s preferences on the perceived video quality. We have proposed proxy caching mechanisms to accomplish the high-quality and highly-interactive video streaming services. In our proposed system, a video stream is divided into blocks for efficient use of the cache buffer. The proxy server is assumed to be able to adjust the quality of a cached or retrieved video block to the request through video filters. In this paper, to verify the practicality of our mechanisms, we implemented them on a real system and conducted experiments. Through evaluations from several performance aspects, it was shown that our proposed mechanisms can provide users with a low-latency and high-quality video streaming service in a heterogeneous environment.

This paper presents and analyzes the performance of a weighted-window based cache replacement policy for the efficient media caching in streaming media cache servers. The proposed policy makes, for each cached object, use of the reference count, reference time, amount of media delivered to clients and, in particular, the periodic patterns of user requests. Also, by giving weights to the recently referenced media contents, the replacement policy adequately and swiftly reflects the ever-changing characteristics of users preferences. The simulation studies show that the performance of the proposed policy has improved over the conventional policies such as LRU, LFU and SEG - in terms of hit ratio, byte hit ratio, delayed start and cache input.

Free-viewpoint video (FVV) service provides multi viewpoints of contents and synthesizes intermediate video files which are not captured on some view angles so that enables users to watch as they choose wherever they want. Synthesizing video is necessary technique to provide FVV video service, because every video of the FVV contents for different view angles cannot be stored to the content server physically. For the reason, fast view synthesis can improve the quality of video service and increase user's satisfaction. One of the studies for FVV service, a method was proposed to transmit FVV service based on DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). There is big advantage on using DASH that it is commonly used to transport video service. However, the method was only a conceptual proposal, so it is difficult to implement the system using the proposal. In this paper, we propose an implementation method to provide real-time FVV service smoothly. We suggest a system structure and operation method on the server and client side in detail, which is to be applicable to synthesize video quickly. Also, we suggest generating FVV service map additionally which controls a FVV service overall. We manage real-time information of the whole service through the service map. The service can be controlled by reducing the possible delay from network situation.

본 논문은 HTTP protocol을 이용한 미디어 Streaming 서비스 표준인 MPEG-DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)를 기반으로 한 N-Screen 서비스 동기화 방안을 제시한다. N-Screen 서비스란 다수의 미디어 Device를 이용하여 하나의 콘텐츠들을 공유 및 전송하는 서비스를 뜻한다. 이는 MPEG-DASH 표준 기술을 활용함으로써 보다 효율적인 서비스 이용이 가능하다. DASH는 다수의 품질의 같은 영상들을 시간별로 분할하여 Server에서 보유하여 한 Device에게 네트워크 환경에 맞춰 가장 적합한 Segment들을 전달 및 전환함으로써 끊기지않는 Streaming 서비스가 가능하다. 하지만 현재 MPEG-DASH 표준기술에서는 N-Screen 서비스에 대한 활용방안 시나리오가 재정되어 있지 않아 다수의 Device에서 Segment를 끊김없는 Media Streaming 서비스를 지원하기 위한 방안이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 한 Device가 다른 Device에게 N-screen을 위한 동기화 정보를 전송함으로써 특정 콘텐츠가 끊기지 않고 연이어 볼 수 있는 동기화를 이룰 수 있는 방안을 대한 서비스 시나리오를 제시한다.

An adaptive Chunk algorithm is newly devised and a collaborative streaming is designed for high quality multimedia streaming service under time varying traffic conditions. An LMS based prediction filter is used to compensate the effect of time varying background traffic of the WAN. The underflow is generated for the $20\~28\%$ of the data stored in the central server by applying the FARIMA(Fractional Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) traffic modeling method. The proposed algorithm is tested with the MPEG-2 video files and compensates $71\~85\%$ of central stream underflow.

The proliferation of video streaming services has led to a need for flexible networking protocols. As a result, the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) protocol has emerged as a dominant streaming protocol due to its ability to dynamically adjust playback bitrates according to the end-user's network conditions. In this paper, we propose a novel I/O scheduling scheme tailored for the storage of MPEG-DASH-enabled video servers. Using the renowned rate-reservation (RR) algorithm and bulk-SCAN mechanism, our proposed scheme improves storage bandwidth utilization while ensuring seamless playback of streams with varying bitrates. In addition, we provide a mechanism for reclaiming the idle I/O time typically incurred while retrieving video segments from storage. Consequently, our scheme offers practical solutions for reducing the storage costs of MPEG-DASH video servers. With a simple cost model, we evaluate the performance enhancements achieved by our proposed I/O scheduling scheme.

As the networked media technology have been grown in recent, there have been many research works to deliver high-quality video such as HDV and HDTV over the Internet. To realize high-quality media service over the Internet, however, the network adaptive streaming scheme is required to adopt to the dynamic fluctuation of underlying networks. In this paper, we design and implement the network-adaptive HD(high definition) MPEG-2 streaming system employing the frame-based prioritized packetization. Delivered video is inputted from the JVC HDV camera to the streaming sewer in real-time. It has a bit-rate of 19.2 Mbps and is multiplexed to the MPEG-2 TS (MPEG-2 MP@HL). For the monitoring of network status, the packet loss rate and the average jitter are measured by using parsing of RTP packet header in the streaming client and they are sent to the streaming server periodically The network adaptation manager in the streaming server estimates the current network status from feedback packets and adaptively adjusts the sending rate by frame dropping. For this, we propose the real-time parsing and the frame-based prioritized packetization of the TS packet. The proposed system is implemented in software and evaluated over the LAN testbed. The experimental results show that the proposed system can enhance the end-to-end QoS of HD video streaming over the best-effort network.
