초록

최근 컴퓨팅 기술과 네트워크 기술의 발전으로 초고속 인터넷의 보급되고 있지만 인터넷에서 높은 대역폭을 필요로 하는 미디어를 스트리밍하는 것은 아직 매우 어려운 일이다. 기존의 인터넷 기반 스트리밍에 관한 연구들에서는 네트워크의 변화에 따라 적응적으로 QoS(Quality of Service)를 조절하는 기법들을 제시하여 왔다. 하지만 이는 서비스 제공자 입장에서의 문제 해결이며 네트워크 상태에 상관없이 일정한 QoS를 원하는 사용자에게는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 상태에 따라 적응적으로 동작하는 프리페칭을 통하여 일정한 QoS를 보장하고자하는 NAP(Network Adaptive Prefetching)기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 NAP기법은 네트워크의 가용한 대역폭이 높을 경우 프레임 재생율보다 빠르게 프레임을 전송시키는 방식으로 프리페칭을 한다. 이렇게 프리페칭된 프레임은 대역폭이 낮아지는 경우에 QoS를 일정한 수준으로 유지하는데 사용된다. 실험을 통하여 비디오 스트림의 특성을 분석하였으며 이를 바탕으로 네트워크 상태에 따라 적응적으로 프리페칭을 함으로써 기존 방식에 비해 QoS를 일정하게 유지할 수 있음을 보였다.

Recently, with the advance of computing and networking technique, the high speed internet becomes widespread, however, it is still hard job to do streaming the media which requires high network bandwidth over the internet. Previous researches for streaming over the internet mainly proposed techniques that controls the QoS(Quality of Service) of the media in proportion to the network status. Though, this could be the solution for the service provider while the service user who wants constant QoS may not satisfy with variable QoS. In the paper, we propose a network adaptive prefetching technique, NAP, for guarantee of constant QoS. The NAP prefetches frames by increasing the frame transmission rate while the available network bandwidth is high. The NAP uses the prefetched frames to guarantee the QoS while the available network bandwidth is low. The experiment result shows that the proposed NAP could guarantee the constant QoS by prefetching the frames adaptively to the network bandwidth with the characteristic of video stream.
