Abstract

In recent years, as network technology develops, the usage of streaming services by users is increasing. However, the complexity of streaming services is also increasing due to various terminal environments. Even when streaming the same content, it is necessary to re-encode the content according to the type of service. In order to solve the complexity and latency of the streaming service, Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) has standardized the Common Media Application Format (CMAF). In addition, as content transmission using a communication network becomes possible, the Republic of Korea's Ultra High Definition (UHD) broadcasting standard has been enacted as a hybrid standard using a broadcasting network and a communication network. The hybrid service enables various services such as transmitting additional information of contents or providing user-customized contents through a communication network. The Republic of Korea's UHD transmission standard utilizes MPEG Media Transport (MMT), and Mobile MMT is an extension of MMT to provide mobile network-specific functions. This paper proposes a method of inserting CMAF contents suitable for various streaming services using signaling messages of MMT and Mobile MMT. In addition, this paper proposes a model for content insertion system in heterogeneous network environment using broadcasting and communication networks, and verifies the validity of the proposed technology by checking the result of content insertion.

최근 네트워크 기술이 발달함에 따라 스트리밍 서비스의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 코덱이나, 프로토콜, 포맷 및 다양한 장치들로 인해 스트리밍 서비스의 복잡성이 증가하고 있으며, 같은 콘텐츠를 스트리밍하는 경우에도 서비스의 형태에 맞게 다시 인코딩하는 과정이 필요하다. 이와 같은 스트리밍 서비스의 복잡성 및 대기시간의 문제점을 해결하고자 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group)에서는 공통 미디어 파일 포맷(CMAF: Common Media Application Format)을 표준화하였다. 이와 더불어, 통신망을 활용한 고품질 AV(Audio-Video) 콘텐츠의 전송이 가능해짐에 따라, 국내 UHD(Ultra High Definition) 방송 표준은 방송망과 통신망을 활용한 하이브리드 서비스 규격으로 제정되었다. 하이브리드 서비스는 방송망을 통해 전송된 콘텐츠의 부가적인 정보를 통신망을 활용하여 전송하거나, 사용자 맞춤형 콘텐츠 제공 등과 같은 다양한 서비스를 가능케 한다. 국내 지상파 UHD 전송 표준은 MMT(MPEG Media Transport)를 활용하고 있으며, Mobile MMT는 모바일 망에 특화된 기능을 제공하기 위해서 MMT를 확장한 표준이다. 본 논문에서는 MMT 및 Mobile MMT의 시그널링 메시지를 활용하여 다양한 스트리밍 서비스에 적합한 CMAF 콘텐츠의 삽입 방안을 제안한다. 또한, 방송망과 통신망을 활용한 이종망 환경에서의 콘텐츠 삽입 시스템 모델을 제안하고, 콘텐츠 삽입의 결과를 확인하여 제안 기술의 타당성을 검증한다.
