This raper discusses improvement of MCVoD System by changing the channel allocation of VoD Server. And we analyzed performance of MCVoD System. Using simulation, we compare MCVoD with another VoD server using same channel allocation. In case of average channel allocation, MCVoD System using interchange agent, represents three times better than previous VoD server.

In this study, a configuration method for a cloud technology based VoD system through two different scenarios is proposed. The first scenario virtualizes DMC, content storages for each SO, and stream servers in the conventional VoD system in order to efficiently use the additionally required storage capacity and stream server. In the second scenario, it is proposed that cable broadcasting systems including VoD systems are to be changed as cloud in which the subscriber STB should have minimum programs and storage regions to connect networks, and the operating system and middle ware presented in the existing subscriber STB is moved to the cloud data center. In addition, the comparison of the application of the cloud technology for the cost of changing the existing system to STB and the cost of establishing a cloud VoD system is performed in order to analyze the cost reduction in broadcasting businesses based on the establishment of VoD systems.

The QoS(Quality of Service) of VoD(Video on Demand) systems can be improved by reducing the faults that the stream service request from clients is rejected by the VoD server or lost during the service. This paper proposes a model of Dynamic Workload Balancer that can adjust the workload dynamically through the periodical monitoring of the VoD system, and so increase the throughput. The proposed model runs independently from the VoD system by adopting the agent concept. The model comprises the agency part interfacing the VoD system and the intelligence part reasoning or teaming the facts required for the adjustment of workload. An experiment of implementing a simulator was conducted to see whether or not application of the proposed model to VoD system is effective. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the throughput was relatively increased when the proposed model was applied compared to existing means.

VoD(Video-on-Demand) servers have to provide timely processing guarantees for continuous media and reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements for continuous media. The compression techniques make the bit rates of compressed video data significantly variable from frame to frame. A VoD system should be able to provide the client with interactive operations such as fast forward and fast rewind in addition to normal playback of movie. However, interactive operations require additional resources such as storage space, disk bandwidth, memory and network bandwidth. In a stored video application such as VoD system, it is possible that a priori disk access patterns can be used to reserve the system resources in advance. In addition, clients of VoD server spend most of their time in playback mode and the period of time spent in interactive mode is relatively small. In this paper, I present the new buffer management scheme that provides efficient support for interactive operations in a VoD server using variable bit rate continuous media. Simulation results show that our strategy achieves 34% increase of the number of accepted clients over the LRU strategy.

In this paper, we developed a VoWLAN(Voice over WLAN) system based on an open source software. The system aims to provide VoIP service over wireless LAN with an IP-PBX server. The features of system presented in this paper are as follows. First, the initial cost for the development is reduced since the system is developed based on open source software. Second, the system provides various additional services such as Voice Mail, Conference Call, and Interactive Voice Response with a software IP-PBX server. Third, the VoWLAN terminal provides high-level user applications with minimal system resources using lightweight open software solutions. Finally, it is highly scalable since it is based on the open source software.

최근 컴퓨터와 제반 기술들의 눈부신 발달로 인해 대용량의 멀티미디어 데이터를 다루는 서비스들이 많이 등장하고 있다. 주문형 비디오 서비스(Video on Demand)가 가장 대표적인 예라고 할 수 있으며, 이를 구현하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 개발되어 있는 VoD 시스템에 관하여 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 PASS(Parallel and Scalable Server) VoD 시스템을 제안한다. PASS VoD 시스템은 병렬 비디오 서버로서 SAN(System Area Network)로 연결된 independent proxy 구조와 비슷한 구조를 가지는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 PASS VoD 시스템에 대하여 설명하고 PASS VoD 시스템이 scalable 함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

The agent system that can adjust the workload dynamically through thc periodical monitoring of the VoD system comprises the agency part interfacing the VoD system and the intelligence part reasoning or learning the facts required for the adjustment of workload. This paper proposes a learning method that can apply to the intelligence part of the agent system. The proposed method can adjust the workload more efficiently by the rule's reasoning process and case-based learning process. An experiment of implementing a simulator was conducted to see whether or not application of the proposed method to VoD systems is efficient. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the throughput and the average waiting time of the VoD server were relatively improved when the proposed method was applied compared to existing means.

This study points out the problems of absence of the legislation for standard regulation on Video on Demand(VoD) advertisement which grows so fast lately, for this it recommends making legal references, which have the definition of non-linear broadcasting & VoD advertisement and VoD advertisement standard regulation in the merged Broadcasting Act, and adopting co-regulation system. Pay TV operators providing VoD service have the opportunities to make money as subscribers uses it increasingly. In case of linear service, the Broadcasting Act regulates the advertisement strictly, but not the VoD ads. The reason why is that Korean legislation including the Broadcasting Act does not have legal reference to regulate it, instead of that, it rely on the self-regulation system which is operated by pay-tv players who provide the VoD ads. So, there is the limitation to protect the minors such as children and youth from the harmful VoD ads, to be invulnerable for advertisers to influence to advertising agents, and to ensure the regulatory effectiveness under player-centric self-regulatory regime. In this context, this study analyses the how to regulate VoD ads standard with a three-pronged approach. First, it analyses the VoD ads regulation system in overseas countries, UK, Canada, EU and Ireland. Each country has the legal reference to regulate it in the Broadcasting Act or lower statures and adopts the co-regulatory regime the NRA and the 3rd entity operate together. Second, it reviews the objectives and scope of VoD ads standard. This study recommends that the objective of it is users protection and the scope of it is standard regulation not commercial practice. Third, this study researches how to legislate for regulation of VoD ads standard. Considering VoD service's characteristics(non-linear service) and legal position of Ads agency(i.e. pay tv operators), it suggest that legal reference will be in the integrated Broadcasting bill, which is the general law, not individual. If it is available to regulate VoD ads standard with co-regulatory regime, it expects the enhancement of user protection from the harmful VoD ads and make up sustainability of the pay-tv players' self-regulation.

This paper describes a DAVIC based VoD service system that allows access via the Web, taking advantage of the wide availability of Web browsers. A simple access mechanism of a DAVIC based VoD system, using a Web browser is adopted on the proposed system. The client and VoD server are compliant with DAVIC, a user can access the VoD server simply by selecting the Web server's address via a Web browser. A menu enables the user to select VCR-like buttons, to establish an S2 control flow and to send the commands contained in the buttons to the VoD server. A simple implementation shows the feasibility of the proposed approach.

To provide VoD Service on the Internet VoD server is required to have a large amount of system resource and network bandwidth. Therefore, overlay Multicast schemes are considered as suitable alternatives but they also have some drawbacks to support on-demand media services. In this paper, we propose an overlay multicast based on-demand media service scheme which could exploit server's system resource and its network bandwidth efficiently. Proposed scheme uses shared buffer of clients involving the relay of traffic and Patching while it gives no restrictions to this scheme compared with unicast. Our simulation results show that proposed scheme can support more user than unicast and improve the network performance at the same time.
