The dual-stream based stereoscopic 3D HDTV broadcasting service was launched recently. Although the dual-stream based HDTV service has been successfully provided, the 3D HDTV broadcasting system requires more bandwidth efficient transmission schemes because it should convey both left and right HD resolution images simultaneously in the finite 6MHz bandwidth. In this paper, we consider more advanced ATSC transmission schemes that use higher modulation such as 16-QAM and concatenated RS code and block LDPC codes. Compared with conventional ATSC system and the modified ATSC system in [2], the proposed system has about 2.97dB and 1.12dB SNR gain at the payload data rate of 19.44Mbps compared with the existing ATSC system and the modified ATSC system [2]. Also, the proposed scheme requires only 1.05dB power increase for the 3D HDTV service, which is reasonable SNR increase value and applicable to the advanced 3D high definition broadcasting realization in limited 6MHz bandwidth.

In this paper, a novel transmission scheme with spatial modulation is proposed for coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique, so-called spatial modulation (SM), divides input data into antenna index and data signals, transmitting data signals through the specific antenna chosen by the antenna index. In order to retrieve data stream at the receiver, SM needs to detect the antenna index which means that data signals are transmitted via a certain antenna. For this reason, it should be guaranteed that channel matrix is orthogonal. For the real environment, a MIMO channel has difficulty in maintaining orthogonality due to spatial correlation. Moreover, the receiver of the conventional SM is operated by hard decision, so that this scheme has a limit to be adopted for practical systems. Therefore, soft-output demappers for the conventional and proposed schemes are derived to detect antenna index and data stream by soft decision, and a novel transmission scheme combined with spatial modulation is proposed to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of the conventional scheme.

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a reliable transport layer protocol that provides several features. Multihoming is the one of the features and allows an association(SCTP's term for a connection) between two endpoints to use multiple paths. One of the paths, called a primary path, is used for initial data transmission and in the case of retransmission an alternate path is used. SCTP's current retransmission policy attempts to improve the chance of success by sending all retransmissions to an alternate destination address. However, SCTP's current retransmission policy has been shown to actually degrade performance in many circumstances. It is because that, due to Karn's algorithm, successful retransmissions on the alternate path cannot be used to update RTT(Round-Trip Time) estimation for the alternate path. In this paper we propose a scheme to avoid such performance degradation. We utilize 2bits which is not used in the flag field of DATA and SACK chunks to disambiguate original transmissions from retransmissions and to keep RTT and RTO(Retransmission Time-Out) values more accurate.

Many image and video compression algorithms work by splitting the input image into blocks and producing variable-length coded bits for each block data. If variable-length coded data are transmitted consecutively, then the resulting coder is highly sensitive to channel errors. Therefore, most image and video techniques for providing some protection to the stream against channel errors usually involve adding a controlled amount of redundancy back into the stream. Such redundancy might take the form of resynchronization markers, which enable the decoder to restart the decoding process from the known state, in the event of transmission errors. The Error Resilient Entropy Code (EREC) is a well known method which can regain synchronization without any redundant information to convert from variable-length code to fixed-length code. This paper proposes an enhancement to EREC, which greatly improves its transmission ability for the compressed image quality without any redundant bits in the event of errors. The simulation result shows that the both objective and subjective quality of transmitted image is enhanced compared with the existing EREC at the same BER(Bit Error Rate).

HD padding area is essential redundancy in HD broadcasting. It is possible to use this padding area for the purpose of improving DTV broadcasting services. For utilization of this area, The bit of a service data was converted to black and white $8{\times}8$ block image. Converted block images are compressed with active video and are delivered to a receiver as only DC coefficients in a video stream. video quality is not effected by the proposed method, and service data was perfectly recovered in receiver without errors by using block average and threshold. The proposed utilization of HD essential padding area can possibly overcome the limited transmission stream rate with the bandwidth of HD broadcasting. If service data in transport or video stram were transferred using this padding area, it is possible to improve video quality with expanded video stream rate. Additionally, because the proposed methods are based on well-established standards, it is also useful for world-wide HD broadcasting systems such as ATSC, DVB, and IPTV.

In this paper, we propose a QoS (Quality of Service)-aware and cooperative resource reservation scheme using cross-layer link adaptation for wireless high definition video transmission through UWB (Ultra Wide Band) network with D-MAC (Distributed Medium Access Control). A wireless high definition video transmission system usually requires stable high throughput even without line-of-sight, e.g., a destination device in another room separated by a wall. Since the WiMedia D-MAC supporting DRP (Distributed Reservation Protocol) scheme causes lots of DRP resource reservation conflicts due to failure of beacon detection in wireless channel environment, overall performances of the WiMedia D-MAC can be deteriorated. And the current WiMedia MAC standard has not considered QoS provisioning even though QoS parameters such as a range of service rates are provided to each traffic stream. Therefore, we propose Relay DRP protocol with QoS-based relay node selection criterion, which makes a relay path to avoid DRP resource reservation conflicts and guarantee QoS more stably through cross-layer link adaptation of cooperative relay transmission scheme and is compliant with the current WiMedia D-MAC protocol. Simulation results demonstrate performance improvements of the proposed method for throughput and QoS provisioning.

The transmission of prerecorded and compressed video data without degradation of picture quality requires video servers to cope with large fluctuations in bandwidth requirement. Bandwidth smoothing techniques can reduce the burst of a variable-bit rate stream by prefetching data at a series of fixed rates and simplifying the allocation of resources in the video servers and the network. In this paper, the proposed smoothing algorithm results in the optimal transmission plans for (1) the smallest bandwidth requirements, (2) the minimum number of changes in transmission rate, and (3) the minimum amount of the server process overhead. The advantages of the proposed smoothing algorithm have been verified through the comparison with the existing smoothing algorithms in diverse environments.

인터넷 기술이 반전함에 따라서 인터넷을 통한 서비스에 대한 관심도가 증가되고 있다. 특히 멀티미디어 서비스인 경우 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해야 만다. 그런데 제한된 대역폭 내에서 전송량이 급격히 증가하는 경우 네트워크 자원의 이용도와 서비스의 품질에 큰 영향을 준다. 이에 스무딩 기법은 가변 비트율(VBR : Variable Bit Rate)을 가진 비디오 스트림(Stream)을 전송할 때 네트워크 자원의 이용도와 서비스의 품질 저하를 막기 위해 전송률(Transmission rate)을 일정하게 유지시키는 기법으로 서버와 네트워크 사이의 중간노드에서 수행된다. 본 논문에서 스무딩 알고리즘을 프레임 단위로 저리할 경우 해당자원의 과부하가 탄생하므로 이를 개선한 스무딩 알고리즘을 제안하고, 기존 스무딩 알고리즘의 시간 복잡도와 성능을 중심으로 비교 분석하였다.

IEEE 802.15.3 High-Rate WPAN(Wireless Personal Area Network)은 TDMA방식을 사용하며 10m내외에서 멀티미디어와 같은 실시간, 대용량 데이터의 전송을 목적으로 한 기술이다. TDMA방식을 사용하는 기술은 디바이스들이 통신을 하기 전에 미리 채널시간을 할당받아야 한다. IEEE 002.15.3 High-Rate WPAN 환경에서 TCP stream을 전송할 경우 TCP ACK을 전송하기 위해 새로운 채널시간을 할당받아야 한다 송신단은 전송할 데이터와 할당받은 채널시간이 남아있더라도 TCP ACK을 수신할 때까지 아무런 전송도 할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서는 High-rate WPAN환경에서 TCP stream을 효과적으로 지원하기 위해 송신단이 할당받은 채널시간동안 송신단과 수신단이 충돌없이 채널을 사용하며 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다.
