Media service model is divided into 3 models that are Client Pull, Server Push, and IPP(Interleaving Pull & Push) model. In most single VOD(Video On Demand) environment, Client Pull model was sufficient to play the movie Because most media contents has a low bitrate and resolution. But according to an increment of the demand of the high definition media, Client Pull model is not sufficient. Parallel VOD environment is made of several of VOD servers and provides the parallel media stream simultaneously for one client. We compared and analyzed the performance of service models with respect to network delay and data size in buffer in the single and parallel VOD environment and we found that IPP service model keeps the least network delay and stable client buffer state in the parallel VOD environment.

VOD(video on demand) is a video service by users' order, that is, a video service on demand. That means the users can select and watch the video content that has been saved on sewer, out of broadcasting in the usual process like TV. At present the client of VOD system bases on PC. As the PC-based client uses the software MPEG decoder, the main processor specification has an effect on the capacity. Also people, who don't know how to use their PC, cannot be provided the VOD service. The purpose of this paper is to show the process of the development the VOD client system Into the embedded type with hardware MPEG-4 decoder. The main processor is the SC1200 of x86 Family in National Semiconductor with a built-in video processor and the memory is 128Mbyte SDRAM. Also, in order that the VOD service can be provided using the Internet, the Ethernet controller is included. As the hardware MPEG-4 decoder is used in the embedded VOD client system, which is developed, it can make the low capacity of the main processor. Therefore it is able to be developed as a low-price system. The embedded VOD client system is easy for anyone to control easily with the remote control and can be played through TV.

This paper presents implementation of client-based VOD service using multicast delivery, Conventional system provide server-based system in multicast delivery but implemented system provides on-demand client-based multicast system. The Multicast Agent Scheduler aggregates clients' request and it generate multicast group addresses and port numbers according to requested video items and service request time. Then it transmits immediately multicast address to VOD server and client who request service. And then VOD server transmits requested streams with a multicast group address and the client joins the group automatically. The Multicast Agent Scheduler assigns the same multicast group address when other clients request an identical video within the same scheduling duration. The proposed system can reduce load of server and support many clients at the same time and applies it to WMT(window media technology) of Microsoft.

본 논문은 단일 VOD 환경에서의 서버/클라이언트 간 데이터 서비스 모델을 분석하고 이를 병렬 VOD 환경에 적용함으로써 보다 나은 사용자 QoS(Quality of Service)를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 단일 VOD 환경에서는 클라이언트가 데이터를 요청하고 서버가 전달해주는 Client Pull 모델과 서버 측에서 일방적으로 데이터를 전달해주는 Server Push 모델을 네트워크상 전달지연 측면에서 분석하고 위 두 모델.을 통합한 IPP(Interleaving Pull & Push) 서비스 모델과 Client Pull 모델을 전달지연과 클라이언트 버퍼 내 데이터 잔여량 측면에서 병렬 VOD 환경에서 적용 및 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 병렬 VOD 환경에서 IPP 서비스 모델이 가장 적은 전달지연과 보다 안정적인 클라이언트 버퍼를 유지함을 알 수 있으며 이를 동해 사용자에게 보다 나은 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.

This study proposes a DRM system for VOD streaming services in a mobile environment. The proposed system consists of DRM client manager (Consumer), in which core components for client services are independently constructed to be used in a mobile environment, and DRM server, which provides DRM services. Consumer independently exists in the client to maximize efficiency and processing capacity in such a mobile environment, and consists of license service, content service, access service, and tracking service. DRM server consists of streaming server for VOD streaming, distributor, license server, and provider. The proposed system has an architecture suitable for a mobile environment that is difficult to process in the existing DRM system and can solves the super-distribution using license manager in client manager.

For VOD systems, it is important to provide QoS to more users under the limited resources. To analyze QoS issues in real environment, we implement clustered VOD server and embedded client system based on the Linux open source platform. The parallel processing of MPEG data, load balancing for nodes and VCR like functions are implemented in the server side. To provide more user friendly interface, the general TV is used for a VOD client's terminal and the embedded board is used supporting for VCR functions. In this paper, we measure the performance of the implemented VOD system under the various user requirement features and evaluate the sources of performance limitations. From these analyses, we propose the dynamic admission control method based on the availability memory and network bandwidth. The proposed method enhances the utilization of the system resource for the more QoS media streams.

본 논문은 이산 웨이블릿 변환의 스케일러빌리티(scalability)를 활용한 VOD 트래픽 모델링에 대하여 소개한다. VOD는 사용자의 요구에 대하여 비디오 데이터를 제공하는 시스템이다. 비디오 데이터는 여러 가지 특징을 가지고 있다. 첫 번째 특징은 데이터 양이 상당히 많다는 점이다. 그리고 데이터 양이 비디오 데이터가 전달되는 시간축에 따라서 변화가 많다는 점이다. 그리고 두 번째 특징은 비디오 데이터는 전송되는 양상이 시간축에 대하여 거의 끊김이 없어야 한다는 점이다. 이러한 점들 때문에 VOD 트래픽을 정확하게 모델링하는 것은 상당히 어렵게 생각되었다. 이산 웨이블릿 변환(discrete wavelet transform)은 함수에 대한 근사이다. 우수한 점은 함수에 대한 근사가 상당히 용이하고 또 유연하다는 점이다. 다시 말하면 함수 근사의 정밀도를 용이하게 조절할 수 있다는 점이다. 또 다른 우수한 점은 시간과 공간 양쪽에 대하여 함수 근사를 할 수 있다는 점이다. 본 논문은 VOD server와 client 사이의 트래픽을 이산 웨이블릿 변환인 스케일러빌리티를 활용하여 모델링하여 server와 client 사이에 보다 효과적인 네트워크 트래픽 제어를 할 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, we present the design and analyze the transmission rate of a control algorithm for the client buffer on the VOD systems. The design is based on the server's data transmission rate and clients' data consumption rate. The proposed algorithm stabilizes the client's buffer by reducing the oscillation phenomena of the buffer. And it uses the BCT (Buffer Check Time) to reduce the scheduling load of the client system. The client's data consumption rate and the buffer size are calculated on the basis of BCT. In case that the predicted buffer size operates in the overrun or starvation the buffer. As the load fluctuation of the network, the transmission rate control policy cannot stabilize the client's buffer alone. The media scaling policy, therefore, also performs its complementary part in stabilizing the client's buffer, and performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is provided through simulation.

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.

The patching technique has been used for removing initial waiting time of NVOD. The technique was applicable only to time segmented NVOD services. However, data segmented NVOD methods have been known to have less initial waiting time or use less server's bandwidths than the time segmented NVODs. Therefore, we expect that if patching is applied to a data segmented NVOD, a more efficient NVOD service will be possible. But there has not been such approach. In this paper, we propose a new VOD scheduling algorithm that combines the patching technique with a data segmented NVOD, thus it uses less server's bandwidths and removes initial waiting time, hence makes a true VOD service possible. The proposed technique also absorbs the storage overhead necessary for client buffering incurred by patching into the data segmentation policy of the NVOD scheduling, hence does not need any extra overhead of the client's resource. Therefore, it is also applicable to the case that the client has resource limits.
