The use of mobile devices is increasing in multimedia applications. The multimedia contents are delivered to mobile users over heterogeneous networks. Due to fluctuation in bandwidth and user mobility, the service providers are facing difficulties in providing Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteed delivery for multimedia applications. Multimedia applications depend on QoS parameters such as delay, bandwidth, and jitter to offer better user experience. The existing schemes use the single source and multisource delivery but are unable to balance between stream quality and network congestion for mobile users. We proposed a Quality Oriented Multimedia Content Delivery Scheme (QOMCDS) for the mobile cloud to deliver better quality multimedia contents for the mobile user. The multimedia contents are delivered to the mobile device based on the device's parameters and network environment. The objective video quality assessment models like Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity (SSIM), and Video Quality Measurement (VQM) are used to measure the quality of the video. The client side Quality of Experience metric such as Startup delay, Rebuffering events, and Bitrate switch count was used for evaluation. The proposed scheme is evaluated using dash.js and is compared to existing schemes. The results show significant improvement over existing multimedia content delivery schemes.

무선 통신의 발전으로 인하여 PDA, 휴대전화 등의 이동기기를 위한 멀티미디어 서비스의 개발 또한 빠르게 발전하고 있다. 이러한 모바일 멀티미디어 서비스의 개발에는 모바일 컴퓨팅의 요구조건을 효율적으로 제어할 수 있는 플랫폼이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 무선 통신의 잦은 통신단절과 모바일 디바이스의 시스템 자원부족에 대응하기 위하여 모바일 에이전트 기반의 그리드 시스템을 사용하는 적응형 서비스 플랫폼을 제시하고, 서비스 플랫폼의 활용예로 모바일 원격 교육 또는 화상 회의에 사용되는 RtoA (Ready-to-Attend) 프레임워크를 구성하였다. RtoA는 사용자들에게 원활한 유비쿼터스 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 그리드 시스템을 이용한 핸드오프, 스피커, 리스너 서비스를 제공한다. ns-2를 이용한 성능평가의 결과 RtoA는 모바일 디바이스의 에너지 소모량을 줄이고, 응답시간을 향상시키는데 효율적임이 증명되었다.

Recently, due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services such as the mobile IPTV. In such a wireless broadband network, transmitting a continuous stream of multimedia data is difficult to achieve due to mobile stations (MSs) movement. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia video streaming applications requires the server and/or client to be network-aware and adaptive. Therefore, in order to deploy a mobile IPTV service in wireless broadband networks, offering users efficient wireless resource utilization and seamlessly offering user perceived QoS are important issues. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive streaming scheme, called MARC (Mobile-aware Adaptive Rate Control), which adjusts the quality of bit-stream and transmission rate of video streaming based on the wireless channel status and network status. The proposed scheme can control the rate of multimedia streaming to be suitable for the wireless channel status by using awareness information of the wireless channel quality and the mobile station location. The proposed scheme can provide a seamless multimedia playback service in wireless broadband networks in addition to improving the QoS of multimedia streaming services. The proposed MARC scheme alleviates the discontinuity of multimedia playback and allocates a suitable client buffer to the wireless broadband network. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

Since various type of wireless/mobile network likes WLAN, WIBRO, HSDPA were come to us, technology providing high quality multimedia service while user move are actively researched such as MIH (Media Independent Handover) proposed by IEEE for interworking between heterogeneous network and CMIP (Client Mobile IP), PMIP (Proxy Mobile IP) for mobility. Despite the technology about interworking and handover between heterogeneous network are actively researched, handover decision method need to be researched. In this paper we suggest a simple and effective handover method for high quality multimedia service in real wireless environment. For this, we use MIH+CMIP platform for target multimedia service to make handover decision rule in WIBRO and HSDPA networks. After apply this rule, we verified effectiveness of handover decision method through real test.

It becomes enabled to provide variety of multimedia contents through mobile service with the development of high-speed 3rd generation mobile communication and handsets. MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) can be displayed in the presentation format which is unified the various multimedia contents such as text, audio, image, video, etc. It is applicable as a new type of ubiquitous learning. In this study we propose to design a mobile learning system by providing profiles which meets the standard of CC/PP and by generating multimedia messages based on SMIL language through the adaptation steps according to the learning environment, the content type, and the device property of learners.

멀티미디어 콘텐츠의 소비가 활발하게 된 2000년 이후, 멀티미디어 콘텐츠의 효율적인 전송을 위해 휴대 방송 기술의 연구가 진행되었고, 관련 표준화의 완료 이후 한국, 일본, 미국, 유럽 등에서 상용 서비스가 시작되었다. 이를 1세대 휴대 방송 서비스라 하며, 현재는 유무선 단말기의 구별 없이 방송 서비스를 제공하는 3Screens(TV, PC, and Mobile)서비스를 위한 연구 및 표준이 진행되고 있다. 3 Screens 서비스를 위한 두 개의 핵심 기술 분야는 다양한 접속망들을 지원할 수 있는 핵심망 기술 및 단일 응용 계층 기술 이다. 본 논문에서는 휴대 방송 응용 계층 표준인 OMA BCAST(Open Mobile Alliance Mobile Broadcast Services Enabler Suite)와 IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)를 연동하여 상기 두 개의 핵심 기술 분야를 해결할 수 있는 기술적 제안을 한다. 또한 상기 제안 기술을 최소의 비용으로 현재의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠망에 제공할 수 있는 응용 계층 멀티케스트 방법을 제안하고, 이에 대한 성능 분석을 수행한다.

The heterogeneous LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced networks comprising a macrocell and femtocells can provide an efficient solution not only to extend macrocell coverage but also to deal with packet traffics increasing explosively within macrocells. An efficient resource management scheme is necessary to maintain the QoS (Quality of Service) of mobile multimedia services because the LTE-Advanced system should support not only voice but also mobile applications such as data, image and video. This paper proposes a resource management scheme to guarantee QoS continuity of multimedia services and to maximize the resource utilization in OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) based LTE-Advanced systems. This scheme divides the resources into several service blocks and allocates those resources based on the competition between macrocell and femtocell. Simulation results show that it provides better performances than the conventional one in respect of handover failure rate and blocking rate.

The recent advance in wireless network technologies has enabled the streaming media service on the mobile devices such as PDAs and cellular phones. Since the wireless network has low bandwidth channels and mobile devices are actually composed of limited hardware specifications, the transcoding technology is needed to adapt streaming media to given mobile devices. Futhermore owing to the diversity of bandwidth in the wireless network by reason of mobile users' movements and environments, it is difficult to provide stable QoS. In this paper, the autonomic multimedia transcoding system is proposed in order for users to provide network adaptive QoS. Our proposed system is based on the estimation of available bandwidth in wireless network for seamless multimedia streaming service. The proposed system is designed and implemented for various mobile clients. In experiments, we evaluate its seamless multimedia streaming and the adaptation transcoding bit rate according to the changes of bandwidth in wireless network.
