Abstract

The introduction of fast packet switching networks such as the ATM leads to the possibility of video services with constant quality. However, the fixed traffic descriptor(TD), which is defined by ATM Forum and ITU-T, can not simultaneously satisfy network efficiency and video quality. This paper presents fast resource reallocation protocol (FRRP) which can provide an effective compromise between network efficiency and video quality. This protocol reallocates the network resources and then adapts the traffic to the reallocated resources. In the proposed method, a video session is divided into several time-intervals according to its generated traffic and TD is calculated which well characterizes the traffic during the specific subdivided interval. In addition, a system model, where MPEG coding algorithm and network control are unified, is proposal and the performance of the FRRP in terms of cell loss rate(CLR) is evaluated though the simulation using real video traffic(Star Wars). Simulation results show that the FRRP has only 5 ~35% CLR of the fixed TD.

ATM과 같은 고속 패킷교환 망의 도입은 일정한 화질을 갖는 동안 동영상 서비스를 가능하게 하였다. 망 자원 사용의 효율성과 화질 사이의 타협이 절실히 요구되는 현 상황에서, ATM Forum과 ITU-T에서 정한 고정된 트래픽 기술자(Traffic Descriptor)로는 이를 만족시킬 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 동영상 세션을 발생된 트래픽에 따라 시간적으로 분할하여 각 구간에서 발생되는 트래픽을 효율적으로 기술할 수 있는 트래픽 기술자를 설정한 후, 망과의 협상을 통해 망 자원을 재할당하고 재할당된 자원에 트래픽을 적응시키는 고속 자원 재할당 프로토콜(Fast Resource Reallocation Protocol: FRRP)을 제안한다. 또한 FRRP가 효율적으로 운용될 수 있는, MPEG 부호화 알고리즘과 망 제어가 통합된 시스템 모델을 제안하고 실제 동영상 트래픽(Star Wars)을 사용한 시뮬레이션에 의해 셀 손실율 관점에서 FRRP의 성능 평가를 수행한다. 실험 결과는 고정된 트래픽 기술자 사용 시 발생하는 셀 손실율의 5∼35% 정도만을 나타내었다.
