This paper proposes a novel video delivery scheme that reduces the bandwidth consumption cost from a video server to terminals in Long-Term Evolution networks. This proposed scheme combines optimized hybrid multicast with a segment-based caching strategy for use in environments where the maximum number of multicast channels is limited. The optimized hybrid multicast, allocation of multicast channels, and cache allocation are determined on the basis of a video's request rate, the related video's length, and the variable cost per unit size of a segment belonging to the related video. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed scheme reduces a video's delivery costs. This work is applicable to on-demand TV services that feature asynchronous video content requests.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network has great potential on utilizing the network while reducing the server loads. Video on Demand (VoD) has become widely used since we can watch contents we like without having to download the overall file first. The mobile users may not need high quality of video; they only need good enough quality that can be played in the limited resource of physical device and network. So does with the devices with very limited network bandwidth. These issues emerge an idea of allowing Free-Rider in the P2P VoD system, where those low performance devices will only optimize the network utilization, affecting none to the performance of main system.

VoIP기반의 음성통화가 기존 PSTN망을 대체하여 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 이러한 IP기반의 음성통신은 IP 네트워크가 가진 보안 취약점을 그대로 가지고 있어 이에 대한 보완이 필요하다. IPsec은 IP망에서 보안을 제공하는 프로토콜로 데이터의 기밀성 및 무결성을 제공한다. 한편, 서비스 제공자는 적절한 과금 및 서비스 중재 및 부가 서비스 제공을 위해 통신에 사용된 암호화 키를 획득할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 IPsec의 키 교환 프로토콜인 Internet Key Exchange v2를 수정하여 서비스 제공자와 통신하는 양 단말이 동시에 키 교환을 수행하도록 한다. 이 방식을 통하여 서비스 제공자가 키 생성에 참여함으로서 Men in the middle 공격을 효과적으로 막을 수 있고, 부가 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 발판을 마련할 수 있다.

This study uses conjoint analysis technique to calculate relative importance of each attribute of a specific online content: video-on-demand (VoD) services of TV soap operas. A series of interviews were conducted to identify and derive critical attributes for VoD services. Conjoint instrument was constructed using attributes identified and administered among actual viewers. Price, genre, additional service, and actors were found to be the most highly valued attributes of the VoD services. While price was the most valued attribute for female viewers, it was genre for male viewers. The result suggests that these attribute differentiation would lead to more profitable pricing scheme, and development of additional services may be critical for online content business' success.

Many periodic broadcasting schemes for near VoD systems are proposed. Recently non-uniform segmentation schemes have been used to develop periodic broadcasting techniques for near VoD. These techniques give significant reductions in start-up latency as compared with more conventional uniform segmentation. However, all of these schemes assume that the videos are CBR-encoded. Since a CBR-encoded video has a target average tate than an VBR encoding, there is potential to obtain further Performance Improvements by using VBR videos. Unfortunately, however, the studies concerning broadcasting with VBR video ate rare and the existing techniques have the problem of virtual loss. In this paper, we modify Skyscraper Broadcasting Scheme for broadcasting with VBR videos which is a representative non-uniform segmentation scheme lot CBR videos. A VBR video can be transmitted at constant bit rate (CBR) by using prefetching. With this idea we propose Modified Skyscraper Broadcasting Schemes for VBR videos and make performance evaluation by simulation. We show that our schemes have a better performance than Skyscraper Broadcasting Scheme for CBR videos.

The purpose of this study is to define determinants of VoIP user acceptance and to verify significant causality among latent variables - performance expectancy, effort expectancy, cost expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, behavioral intend, use behavior - based on UTAUT model. We presented the expanded hypotheses including the new factor, cost expectancy and analyzed the moderating effect of user age, gender and usage experience variables. For a accuracy of predicted results, we focused on survey analysis with 641 real user samples. Compared to previous studies, it is meaningful that this research verified the conceptual difference between behavioral intention and usage behavior. As a result, all proposed hypotheses accepted and moderating effects are supported significantly in age and use experience moderating variables.

Recently, with the advance of computing and networking technique, the high speed internet becomes widespread, however, it is still hard job to do streaming the media which requires high network bandwidth over the internet. Previous VoD system researches for streaming over the internet mainly proposed techniques that controls the QoS(Quality of Service) of the media in proportion to the network status. Though, this could be the solution for the service provider while the service user who wants constant QoS may not satisfy with variable QoS. In the paper, we propose greedy precedent frame transmission technique, GPFT, for guarantee of constant QoS. In GPFT, Streaming VoD server prefetches precedent frames and transmits the frame greedily by increasing the frame transmission rate while the available network bandwidth is high. The GPFT uses the prefetched precedent frames to guarantee the QoS while the available network bandwidth is low. The experiment result shows that the proposed GPFT could guarantee the constant QoS by prefetching the frames adaptively to the network bandwidth with the characteristic of video stream.

Since the RTP is suitable for real-time data transmission in multimedia services like VoD, AoD, and VoIP, it has been adopted as a real-time transport protocol by RTSP, H.323, and SIP. Even though the RTP protocol stack for embedded systems has been in great need for efficient support of multimedia services, such a stack has not been developed yet. In this paper, we explain embeddedRTP which supports the RTP protocol stack at the kernel level so that it is suitable for embedded systems. Since embeddedRTP is designed to reside in the UBP module, existing applications which rely ell TCP/IP services can proceed the same as before, while applications which rely on the RTP protocol stack can request HTP services through embeddedRTp API. EmbeddedRTP stores transmitted RTP packets into per session packet buffer, using the packet's port number and multimedia session information. Communications between applications and embeddedRTP is performed through system calls and signal mechanisms. Additionally, embeddedRTP API makes it possible to develop applications more conveniently. Our performance test shows that packet-processing speed of embeddedRTP is about 7.5 times faster than that oi VCL RTP for multimedia streaming services on PDA in spite that its object code size is reduced about by 58% with respect to UCL RTP's.
