Abstract

Streaming video service over wireless and mobile communication networks has received significant interests from both academia and industry recently. Specifically, mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) is capable of providing high data rate and flexible Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, supporting mobile streaming very attractive. However, we need to note that streaming videos can be partially deteriorated in their macroblocks and/or slices owing to errors on OFDMA subcarriers, as we consider that compressed video sequence is generally sensitive to the error-prone channel status of the wireless and mobile network. In this paper, we introduce an OFDMA subcarrier-adaptive mobile streaming server based on cross-layer design. This streaming server system is substantially efficient to reduce the deterioration of streaming video transferred on the subcarriers of low power strength without any modifications of the existing schedulers, packet ordering/reassembly, and subcarrier allocation strategies in the base station.

광대역 무선 및 이동 통신망에서의 스트리밍 비디오 서비스는 최근 학계와 산업계로부터 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, 모바일 와이맥스 (IEEE 802.16e) 네트워크 환경은 높은 전송율과 유연성있는 서비스 품질을 제공할 수 있기 때문에 이러한 스트리밍 서비스가 특히 매력적이다. 그러나 압축 비디오 시퀀스가 갖는 무선 및 이동망 오류 채널에 대한 민감성을 고려할 경우에, OFDMA 부반송파 물리 채널에서의 오류 발생으로 인해 화면 내의 메크로블록 또는 슬라이스 일부가 손상을 받을 수 있음에 주목할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 교차 계층 설계를 기반으로하여 OFDMA 부반송파 채널 특성에 적응적인 모바일 스트리밍 서버를 소개한다. 이 스트리밍 서버 시스템은 기지국의 기존 스케줄러, 패킷 배열/재조립, 부반송파 할당 전략 등의 변경없이 낮은 신호 세기를 갖는 부반송파에서도 스트리밍 비디오의 품질 악화를 줄이는데 효과적이다.
