Recent studies on the Constant Bit Rate and Variable Bit Rate transmissions have mainly focused on the frame by frame encoder rate control based on the quantization parameter. With the existing approaches it is difficult to guarantee a consistent video quality. Also, the rate control overhead is too high for the real-time video sources. In this paper, a channel rate allocation scheme based on the control period is proposed to transmit a real-time video, in which the control period is defined by a pre-specified number of frames or group of pictures. At each control period, video traffic information is collected to determine the channel rate at the next control period. The channel rate is allocated to satisfy various channel rate constraints such that the buffer occupancy at the decoder is maintained at a target level. If the allocated channel rate approaches the level at which the negotiated traffic descriptions may be violated, the encoder rate is decreased through adjusting quantization parameters in the MPEG encoder. In the experimental results, the video quality and the overflow and underflow probabilities at the buffer are compared at different control periods. Experiments show that the video quality and the utilization of network bandwidth resources can be optimized through the suitable selection of the control period.

Video streaming services make up a large proportion of Internet traffic on both fixed and mobile access throughout the world. Adaptive streaming allows for dynamical adaptation of the bitrate with varying network conditions, to guarantee the best user experience. Adaptive bitrate algorithms face a significant challenge in correctly estimating the throughput as it varies widely over time. In this paper, we first evaluate the throughput estimation techniques and show that the method that we have used offers stable response to throughput fluctuations while maintaining a stable playback buffer. Then, we propose an adaptive bitrate scheme that intelligently selects the video bitrates based on the estimated throughput and buffer occupancy. We show that the proposed scheme improves viewing experience by achieving a high video rate without taking unnecessary risks and by minimizing the frequency of changes in the video quality. Furthermore, we show that it offers a stable response to short-term fluctuations and responds swiftly to large fluctuations. We evaluate our algorithm for both constant bitrate (CBR) and variable bitrate (VBR) video content by taking into account the segment sizes and show that it significantly improves the quality of video streaming.

Until now, the transmission of data for VOD(Video on Demenad) was based on a real time modelling of video data. Markow Modulated Fluid Sources(MMFS) and Markow Modulated Poisson Sources(MMPS) are the most widely used modelling methods. But the charactersitics of the VBR(Variable Bit Rate) signal prevents modelling from actually being "real-time". Also these methods call for the use of large buffers for the abolishment of cell loss. These modelling methods are, of course, useful i case of teleconferences where a real time modelling of video traffic is inevitable, but they are insufficient in cases where the characteristic infomation of video traffic can be obtained beforehand-cases such as VOD. Video data is speial in that if one file is preprocessed all other products can simply be copied from that onepreprocessed file. This characteristic helps reduce the overhead arising from the job of drawing out characteristic information to almost zero. But still, compared to the existing real time modelling method data transmission using characteristic information succeeds in raising the efficiency of data transmission. In tis paper we will outline a method of dta transmission which use the characteristic information of each video stream, and evaluate this method through some experiments.periments.

In this paper, we propose a real-time bandwidth allocation scheme of multiplexed VBR MPEG video sequences over ATM network. In order to real time processing, multiplexed source is estimated by linear-prediction per measurement period. If the result CLR value were not sufficient, we proposed a overallocation method and a reallocation one to guarantee QoS. We used two kinds of sources, one is random multiplexed source made of foot different video sources, the other is the one considered the arrange of I frame in the sequence. With those sources, we analyzed the linear prediction, compared overallocation with reallocation method. As a result, in both schemes, the objected CLR value is achieved, the sufficient value COR under 10% when mp is over 1.8 sec, the utilization is over 0.9. Especially, the COR value of the reallocation scheme is better at the same condition.

For VBR video traffic, Motion-Picture Experts Group(MPEG) coding algorithm was adopted as the standard coding algorithm by International Telecommunication Union(ITU). In this paper, we propose a traffic model of an MPEG coded video traffic in frame level and cell level, and develop an approximate model for evaluating performance of a ATM multiplexer with homogeneous MPEG video sources by considering burst-level variation of aggregated traffics. For homogeneous MPEG video traffics which are frame-synchronized, the performance of the ATM multiplexer is influenced by source correlation at the multiplexing time. When sources are highly correlated, we decompose the aggregated cell streams by the frame-type and model multiplexing process during a frame time as n*D/D/1/K queueing model and suggest an approximate method for obtaining CLP of the ATM multiplexer. In the case that sources are highly correlated, the solution has the meaning of the upper bounds of performance of the ATM multiplexer. For the verification of our model, we compare the solution of our model with simulation resets. As the number of sources increases. The CLP obtained from our model approaches to simulation results, and gives upper bounds of simulation results.

비디오 서버는 다수의 비디오 요청을 동시에 서비스하기 때문에 통신망 대역폭을 공평하고 효율적으로 활용하는 것이 중요하다. 모바일 통신망에서 클라이언트들의 재생 버퍼 수준을 이용하여 VBR 비디오 스트림을 전송하는 스케쥴링 알고리즘들이 본 논문에서 제시되었다. 요청된 비디오 재생시 서비스 품질과 실시간적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 비디오 서버는 일시적으로 버퍼 수준이 낮은 비디오 요청 작업을 우선적으로 서비스하고자 더 많은 대역폭을 할당하는 실시간 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 수행한다. 버퍼 수준이 상이한 모바일 클라이언트들에게 공평한 서비스와 부하 균형이 제공되는 시뮬레이션 결과가 나타났다.

비디오 스트링의 표준이라 할 수 있는 MPEG은 데이터 발생량의 변화가 심한 군집성(bursty) 트래픽으로 망의 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하는 전송방식을 구현하기가 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 최소한의 품질을 보장하면서도 망 자원의 효율적 이용을 위하여 2계층 구조의 새로운 대역폭 할당 기법을 제안하였다. 사용자에게 최소한의 품질을 보장하면서 망에 대역폭의 여유가 있는 경우 보다 고품질의 서비스가 가능토록 하는 방안으로 ATM망의 CBR 클래스와 VBR 클래스를 복합적으로 사용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이의 구현을 위하여 2계층 구조의 MPEG 부호화기를 설계하였고 모의실험으로 기존의 단일 계층 CBR 클래스와 비교 평가하였다.

The burst is to require abruptly high transmission rate in case of transmitting pre-stored variable bit rate video data, and it causes to be inefficient use of network resource, resource reservation. To avoid these problems, smoothing is transmission plan where variable rate video data is converted to a constant bit rate stream. These smoothing algorithms include CBA, MCBA, MVBA and others. To evaluate amount of burst reduction in the existing CBA, MCBA, MVBA algorithm, this paper compares the burst-related-factors of transmission plan in smoothing algorithms with original video sources which were stored Variable Bit Rate. There are maximum frame bytes, maximum GOP bytes, transmission rate variability per frame, transmission rate variability per GOP in burst-related evaluation factors. Experimental result shows burst-related factors of smoothing algorithms which were used for experiment lower than that of pre-stored video data, except special case.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a personal VOD server using multi-thread for the real-time services of video data to the users. The system consists of service manager, disk manager, and network manager. The service manager controls the user admission to the system using the VBR(Variable Bit Rate) characteristics of MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) video data. The disk manager provides the functions for VCR-like operations. The disk manager reads blocks from the disk by the size of GOP(Group of Pictures) and buffers the data to the user's thread. The network manager uses TCP/IP for the communication between the server and the client. The communication starts from the client and the VOD server must respond to this request. The implemented personal VOD system shows an acceptable performance.
