In this paper, we proposed cross-layered approach of video codec and communication system for the efficient video streaming service. Conventional video streaming is served by divided system which consist of video codec layer and communication layer. Its disintegration causes the limitation of the performance of video streaming service. With the cross-layered design, each layer could share the information and the service is able to enhance the performance. And we proposed the selective retransmission method in communication system based on the cross-layered system that reflect the information of encoded video data. Selective retransmission method which consider the characteristics of video data improves the performance of video streaming services. We verified the proposed method with raw format full HD test sequence with H.264/AVC codec and MATLAB simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves about 10% PSNR performance.

Explosive deployment of smart mobile devices such as smart phones, and tablets along with expansion of wireless internet bandwidth have enabled the deployment of mobile video streaming such that video traffic becomes the most important service in wireless networks. Recently, for more efficient video streaming services, the ISO MPEG group standardized a protocol called DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) and the standard has been quickly adopted by many service providers such as YouTube and Netflix. Despite of the convenience of mobile streaming services, users also suffer from low QoE(Quality of Experience) due to dynamic channel fluctuations and unnecessary downloading due to high churning rates. This paper proposes a noble efficient video rate selection algorithm considering user buffer level, channel condition and churning rate. Computer simulation based performance study showed that the proposed algorithm improved the QoE significantly compared to a method that determines the video rate based on current channel conditions. Especially, the proposed method reduced the rebuffering rate, one of the most important performance factors of the QoE, to a nonnegligible level.

본 논문에서는 동일 서버를 통하여 이종 클라이언트들에게 동시에 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하는 환경에서 서비스 품질 보장을 위한 스트리밍 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 이러한 환경에서 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용하고 신뢰성 있는 전송을 수행하기 위해 전송계층 프로토콜로서 TCP를 사용 하여 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하면 각 스트리밍 세션들을 위한 TCP 커넥션들은 링크 대역폭을 공평하게 공유하게 된다. 이로 인해 상대적으로 높은 비트레이트를 요구하는 스트리밍 클라이언트는 재생버퍼 언더런과 같은 품질저하를 겪게 될 수 있는데 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 각 클라이언트들의 요청 대역폭과 재생버퍼 크기를 고려하여 적응적으로 다중 TCP 커넥션을 사용하는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안 알고리듬을 통하여 이종 클라이언트들의 환경에 맞는 스트리밍 대역폭을 보장할 수 있게 됨을 실험결과를 통하여 확인 할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 수신단 캐시를 활용하여 비디오 스트리밍의 전송 효율을 개선할 수 있는 배타적 논리합 기반 비디오 스트리밍(XC: eXclusive OR-based Cast)을 위한 전송 기법을 제안한다. 두 클라이언트가 동시에 동일한 비디오를 요청하는 경우에만 단일 채널로 비디오 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 기존 멀티캐스트(MC: Multicast) 방식과 달리, 제안 방식은 두 클라이언트들이 서로 다른 비디오를 요청하는 경우에도 각 클라이언트의 캐시 정보에 따라 단일 채널로 비디오를 전송할 수 있다. 다양한 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안된 XC를 위한 전송 기법의 성능을 스트리밍 효율성 측면에서 분석하고, 기존 방식과 비교한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해, 제안 방식은 기존 방식 대비 스트리밍 효율성을 약 21%까지 개선시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

기존의 스트리밍 품질 적용 기법들은 네트워크의 혼잡상황에서 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시키는데 반해 스트리밍 서비스의 빈번한 재생품질 변화로 인해 사용자에게 제공되는 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 SVC(스케일러블 비디오 코딩) 비디오 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장하기 위해, 네트워크 상태 변화를 고려한 스트리밍 품질 적응 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 미디어 특성을 고려한 가용대역폭 측정 기법을 이용하여 네트워크의 가용대역폭을 측정하고, 측정된 가용대역폭을 기반으로 전송되는 SVC 비디오 스트림의 품질 변화를 부드럽게 조절한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 재생품질의 변화를 최소화하여 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Due to the prevalence of powerful mobile terminals and the rapid advancements in wireless communication technologies, the wireless video streaming service has become increasingly more popular. Recent studies show that video streaming services via Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are becoming more practical. TCP has more advantages than User Diagram Protocol (UDP), including firewall traversal, bandwidth fairness, and reliability. However, each video service shares an equal portion of the limited bandwidth because of the fair sharing characteristics inherent in TCP and this bandwidth fair sharing cannot always guarantee the video quality for each user. To solve this challenging problem, an Adaptive Multiple TCP (AM-TCP) scheme is proposed in this paper to guarantee the video quality for mobile devices in wireless networks. AM-TCP adaptively controls the number of TCP connections according to the video Rate Distortion (RD) characteristics of each stream and network status. The proposed scheme can minimize the total distortion of all participating video streams and maximize the service quality by guaranteeing the quality of each video streaming session. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the quality of video streaming in wireless networks.

Supporting video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks is particularly challenging due to the time-varying and error-prone characteristics of the wireless channel. In this paper, we propose a joint optimization scheme for video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks. Our coding scheme, called Joint Source/Network Coding (JSNC), combines source coding and network coding to maximize the video quality under the limited wireless resources and coding constraints. JSNC segments the streaming data into generations at the source node and exploits the intra-session coding on both the source and the intermediate nodes. The size of the generation and the level of redundancy influence the streaming performance significantly and need to be determined carefully. We formulate the problem as an optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the end-to-end distortion by jointly considering the generation size and the coding redundancy. The simulation results demonstrate that, with the appropriate generation size and coding redundancy, the JSNC scheme can achieve an optimal performance for video streaming over multi-hop wireless networks.

The multi-channel video streaming system is an essential device for future ground combat vehicles. For the system, the application of digital interfaces is required instead of the direct analog method to support selectable multiple channels. However, due to the characteristics of the digital interfaces that require en/decoding and signal conversion, the system should support the ability to adapt to quality and delay requirements depending on how video data is utilized. To support addressed issue, this study designs and emulates the multi-channel compressed-video streaming system of ground combat vehicle's fire control system based on commercial standards. Using the system, this study analyzes the quality of video according to the rotational speed of the acquisition device and Glass-to-Glass (G2G) delay between video acquisition and display devices according to video compression rates. Through these experiments and analysis, this paper presents the design direction of the system having scalability on the latest technology while providing high-quality video data streaming flexibly.

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Information-Centric Networking (ICN) are essential network architectures for the future Internet. The advantages of MEC and ICN such as computation and storage capabilities at the edge of the network, in-network caching and named-data communication paradigm can greatly improve the quality of video streaming applications. However, the packet loss in wireless network environments still affects the video streaming performance and the existing loss recovery approaches in ICN does not exploit the capabilities of MEC. This paper proposes a Deep Learning based Loss Recovery Mechanism (DL-LRM) for video streaming over MEC based ICN. Different with existing approaches, the Forward Error Correction (FEC) packets are generated at the edge of the network, which dramatically reduces the workload of core network and backhaul. By monitoring network states, our proposed DL-LRM controls the FEC request rate by deep reinforcement learning algorithm. Considering the characteristics of video streaming and MEC, in this paper we develop content caching detection and fast retransmission algorithm to effectively utilize resources of MEC. Experimental results demonstrate that the DL-LRM is able to adaptively adjust and control the FEC request rate and achieve better video quality than the existing approaches.
