Abstract

Delivering rich and continuous media contents robustly over a wide range of network conditions of the wired/wireless Internet is a highly challenging task. To address this challenges, the continuous media applications at the edge of network has become more and more adaptive while the best-effort Internet is slowly progressing towards improved networking services. That is, the role of network adaptive media delivery, which dynamically links the quality demand of application contents to the underlying networking services, has become more crucial. In this paper, we will first review the required network adaptation functionalities seen from the application side: congestion control / rate control, error control, and synchronization / adaptive playout. Then, we start the coverage of networking support issues that helps the realization of network adaptive media streaming - from network support and protocol support toward consolidated support via middleware. Finally, we propose a dynamic network adaptation framework that efficiently leverages its awareness of both media application (including contents) and underlying networking support.

다양한 미디어 콘텐츠를 최선형 서비스에 머무르고 있는 유무선 인터넷의 네트워크 상태에 무관하게 전달하기 위해서는 네트워크 가장자리에서 동작하는 미디어 응용프로그램들이 보다 적응화되어야 한다. 즉 응용프로그램에서 전달하고자 하는 미디어 콘텐츠가 요구하는 네트워크 품질에 대한 요구와 기반 네트워크 서비스론 적응적으로 연결하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 응용프로그램에게 요구되는 혼잡제어 및 전송율 제어, 오류 제어, 그리고 동기화 및 적응형 재생 등과 같은 네트워크 적응화 기능들에 대해 의논한다. 이어서 네트워크 적응적 미디어 스트리밍을 실현하는 기반이 되는 요소들을 물리적인 네트워크, 프로토콜 지원에서 미들웨어에 걸치는 총체적인 지원의 구도하에서 설명한다. 최종적으로는 상기한 미디어 응용프로그램과 네트워크 지원 기반을 동시에 이해하면서 실현되는 동적인 네트워크 적응화의 구조를 제안한다.
