In ISO MPEG, MPEG-H has been standardized to smoothly deliver huge volume of ultra-high resolution videos over heterogeneous network environments for the consumers. In the MPEG-H standard, MMT(MPEG Media Transport) protocol is the next generation MPEG media transport technology to provide hybrid media delivery over heterogeneous environments. It is important to sustain accurate media synchronization to provide ultra-high resolution video services over heterogeneous network environments. In this paper, we propose and verify an in-band media synchronization scheme to circumvent the problem of additional session setup and excessive traffic problems of the conventional out-of-band media synchronization supported by the MMT technology.

In this paper, we propose a synchronization protocol for underwater acoustic networks which aims to minimize the effects of long propagation delay and uncertain delay variations and employs packet train scheme with considering low data rate. The proposed protocol uses an one-way delay measurement method by transmitting consecutive packets and acquires synchronization only considering propagation delay variations by calculating packet arrival time differences. We perform simulations under various network conditions, such as node mobility, time interval for packet transmission, network range, and elapsed time after synchronizing. The simulation results shows the superiority of our protocol, compared with a previously proposed protocol.

This paper proposed PTP(Precision Time Protocol) management node-based time synchronization error detection and recovery system. The proposed system is to maintain the preciseness of time synchronization under time synchronization error situations on IEEE 1588-based network environment. To demonstrate the proposed time synchronization error detection and recovery system, PTP implemented EVM(Evaluation Module)-based experiments were performed. As a results of the experiments, it is shown that the proposed system effectively maintains the preciseness of time synchronization under time synchronization error situations.

In synchronous secure communications, a synchronization signal is transmitted over the same channel where ciphertext is transmitted for cryptographic synchronization between an encryptor and a decryptor, so, it causes data rate lowering and transmission delay for plain communication. Especially, in poor environments such as wireless channels and so on, since secure communications require a periodic resynchronization protocol, synchronization signal transmission method can dominate its quality. In this paper, we proposed a new synchronization signal transmission method without additional bandwidth as well as resynchronization protocol based on it. We embeded a synchronization signal as a watermark in a transmission image and restored it from a detected watermark in the decryptor. Experimental results of image have demonstrated that the proposed synchronization signal transmission method using watermarking is efficient in transmission rate and can support reliable synchronization detection.

We propose a new Interet time synchronization model using danamic linear model and introduce the characteristics of internet transmission delays. SNTP(Simple Network Time Protocol) has been widely used as a time synchronization method on the Internet. While SNTP provides a very simple usage, SNTP may not provide the stable services, since SNTP does not consider the several essential error factors. In order to overcome the instabitily of SNTP, we analyze the process of time estimation of SNTP and find the difference between forward transmission delay and backward transmission delay operates the main error on the estimation of an time offset.

Synchronization between media is an important aspect in the design of multimedia streaming system. This paper proposes a precise media synchronization mechanism for digital video and audio transport over IP networks. To support synchronization between video and audio bitstreams transported over IP networks, RTP/RTCP protocol suite is usually employed. To provide a precise mechanism for media synchronization between video and audio, we suggest an efficient media synchronization algorithm based on NPT (Normal Play Time) which can be derivable from the timestamp information in the header part of RTP packet generated for the transport of video and audio streams. With the proposed method, we do not need to send and process any RTCP SR (sender report) packet which is required for conventional media synchronization scheme, and accordingly could reduce the number of required UDP ports and the amount of control traffic injected into the network.

This paper presents a wireless sensor network protocol aimed for artificial structure monitoring. The proposed protocol enables the sensor network to operate at a low duty cycle for reducing power consumption with a high degree of synchronization accuracy. It also enables event-triggered measurement of environmental information with a high sampling rate and the transmission of the measured data with a low latency. The feasibility of the proposed protocol is demonstrated through experiments involving three sensor nodes and a sink node. Though a tunnel health monitoring was considered in the paper, the proposed protocol can be easily adopted in other areas.

The signaling protocol for B-ISDN should support variety of services including point-to-pont single-connection call, point-to-point multi-connection call and point-to-multipoint connection call. an efficient signaling protocol for point-to-point multi-connection call based on ITU-T Recommendation Q.298X is presented in this paper. Sequential establishment of madatory and optional connections and common routing scheme for synchronization, along with separation of information elements for establishement of multi-connection call are included in the proposed signaling protocol. Limited network resources can be used more efficiently by proposed sequential establishement of mandartory and optional connection for point-to-point multi-connection call which can provide multimedia services. And common routing can be provided effectively by proposed common routing scheme for connectios requiring synchronization like as video-phone and video-conference.

This paper presents the analysis and the implementation of the asynchronous communication portion of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. We have used PRISM2 chipsets from INTERSIL to build baseband, IF, and RF parts and PCI controller from PLX to interface LLC Layer. We have implemented DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) service using CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Acoidance) with backoff algorithm and RTS/CTS protocol. Also, we have implemented TSF(Timing Synchronization Function) which can be used for power management frequency hop synchronization, and other management function. This study can be used as a reference for the MAC protocol implementation and MAC controller design in very high speed wireless LAN which complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Objective: To assess whether an early GnRH antagonist start leads to better follicular synchronization and an improved clinical pregnancy rate (CPR). Methods: A retrospective cohort study. A total of 218 infertile women who underwent IVF between January 2011 and February 2013. The initial cohort (Cohort I) that underwent IVF between January 2011 and March 2012 included a total of 68 attempted IVF cycles. Thirty-four cycles were treated with the conventional GnRH antagonist protocol, and 34 cycles with an early GnRH antagonist start protocol. The second cohort (Cohort II) that underwent IVF between June 2012 and February 2013 included a total of 150 embryo-transfer (ET) cycles. Forty-three cycles were treated with the conventional GnRH antagonist protocol, 34 cycles with the modified early GnRH antagonist start protocol using highly purified human menopause gonadotropin and an addition of GnRH agonist to the luteal phase support, and 73 cycles with the GnRH agonist long protocol. Results: The analysis of Cohort I showed that the number of mature oocytes retrieved was significantly higher in the early GnRH antagonist start cycles than in the conventional antagonist cycles (11.9 vs. 8.2, p=0.04). The analysis of Cohort II revealed higher but non-significant CPR/ET in the modified early GnRH antagonist start cycles (41.2%) than in the conventional antagonist cycles (30.2%), which was comparable to that of the GnRH agonist long protocol cycles (39.7%). Conclusion: The modified early antagonist start protocol may improve the mature oocyte yield, possibly via enhanced follicular synchronization, while resulting in superior CPR as compared to the conventional antagonist protocol, which needs to be studied further in prospective randomized controlled trials.
