초록

ISO/IEC MPEG-4 FGS (finer granular scalable) 비디오 스트림을 패킷손실 측면의 차등서비스 (differentiated services: DiffServ) 네트워크상에서 차별화 전송하는 시스템을 제안하고, 그 성능을 분석한다. 이를 위한 전체 제안시스템의 구조는 크게 다음의 3 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 즉 1) 선형 근사화한 전송율-왜곡치 (rate-distortion: R-D) 모델를 사용하여 비디오 품질를 일정하게 유지하는 최적의 계층화된 전송율 적응 제어 부분, 2) 각각의 비디오 패킷이 손실될 때 전체품질에 미치는 영향을 고려하는 우선순위 패킷화 (prioritized packetization) 부분, 그리고 3) 이와 같이 우선순위화된 비디오 패킷 스트림을 차등서비스 네트워크 상에서 차별화 전송을 수행하는 부분으로 구분할 수 있다. 따라서 상기한 3 부분들이 효율적으로 연동되어 비디오 전송을 수행할 때, 동일한 네트워크 자원이 주어진 경우 얻을 수 있는 종단간 (end-to-end) 비디오 품질의 향상을 비교 분석하였다.

A finer granular scalable (FGS) version of ISO/IEC MPEG-4 video streaming is investigated in this work with the prioritized stream delivery over loss-rate differentiated networks. Our proposed system is focused on the seamless integration of rate adaptation, prioritized packetization, and simplified differentiation for the MPEG-4 FGS video streaming. The proposed system consists of three key components: 1) rate adaptation with scalable source encoding, 2) content-aware prioritized packetization, and 3) loss-based differential forwarding. More specifically, a constant-quality rate adaptation is first achieved by optimally truncating the over-coded FGS stream based on the embedding rate-distortion (R-D) information (obtained from a piecewise linear R-D model). The rate-controlled video stream is then packetized and prioritized according to the loss impact of each packet. Prioritized packets are transmitted over the underlying network, where packets are subject to differentiated dropping and forwarding. By focusing on the end-to-end quality, we establish an effective working conditions for the proposed video streaming and the superior performance is verified by simulated MPEG-4 FGS video streaming.
