DASH is a well-known streaming technology, which was proposed in 2010 by MPEG and standardized in 2011. Major multimedia contents service providers, including Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe are all using this technology to support their media streaming services. Whenever a new service is requested to the server, the DASH technology helps servicing the multimedia streaming to client by recognizing the capacity of network and by adapting the quality of the multimedia contents. In DASH, the quality of multimedia contents will be automatically lowered to meet the fluctuating network status, when undesirable breaks interrupt the network. In this paper, we classified and analysed the advantages and disadvantages of DASH researches in three aspects: bit-rate measurement method, bandwidth aggregation method; rate adaptation metrics, algorithms and logics; user's experiences and QoE.

멀티 포트 네트워크 인터페이스 카드는 지원 가능한 대역폭의 합이 포트의 수에 따라서 결정된다. 따라서 I/O 버스와의 대역폭 균형을 맞출 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 상대적으로 저렴한 스위치 가격으로 높은 대역폭을 지원해 줄 수 있다. 이러한 이유에서 최근 멀티 포트 네트워크 인터페이스 카드는 고 가용성 서버뿐만 아니라 고성능 서버에서도 사용되기 시작하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 멀티 포트 네트워크 인터페이스 카드가 지원할 수 있는 최대 대역폭을 분석한다. 특히 최근에 등장한 멀티 코어 프로세서 서버에서 TCP/IP 성능 측정을 수행하여 멀티 코어 자원을 최대한 활용하는지를 분석한다. 분석 결과 현재 리눅스가 제공하는 인터럽트 분산 정책 및 패킷 처리 기법으로는 멀티 포트 네트워크 인터페이스 카드의 높은 대역폭 특성을 최대한 활용하기에는 부족함을 밝힌다. 또한 각 포트 별로 들어오는 네트워크 흐름의 특성이 서로 다를 때에 시스템이 그에 신속히 적응하지 못함을 측정 결과를 통해서 보인다. 이러한 측정 및 분석 결과는 멀티 코어 시스템에서 멀티 포트 NIC을 최대한 활용하기 위한 리눅스의 향상 필요성을 시사하며 그를 위한 방안을 제시할 수 있다.

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) Adaptive Streaming is gaining attention because it changes bitrates to adapt changing network conditions. Since HAS (HTTP Adaptive Streaming) client downloads the video data based on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), it estimates incorrectly the available bandwidth and leads to an unnecessary video quality change in long-delay networks. In this paper, we propose a buffer-based quality control scheme in order to improve the service quality and smooth playback in the HAS. The proposed scheme estimates accurately the available bandwidth based on a modified streaming model that considers network delay. It also calculates the sustainability of the video quality to prevent an unnecessary quality change and determines the inter-request time on the basis of the buffer status. Through the simulation, we prove that our scheme improves the QoS (Quality of Service) of the HAS service and controls the video quality smoothly in long-delay networks.

Mobile portable devices for wireless network solely depend on a limited battery power. Therefore, we need to design for wireless communication protocols with an energy efficiency. TCP-Westwood is one of the most important approaches on TCP performance improvement in wireless environments that estimates the available bandwidth by using the sampling mechanism. The advantage is that data can be transmitted efficiently using the estimation of available bandwidth. However, when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment, it does not consider of the sampling mechanism operation. In this thesis, a new energy saving transport protocol, called E2TP(Energy Efficient Transport Protocol), is proposed to solve problems which occur when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment. Also, when there are packet loss while doing frequent link error in a wireless environment, E2TP provides the instantaneous segment size adjustment for a more efficient data retransmission. The simulation result proves that the proposed E2TP has better performance in energy efficiency and throughput than both TCP and TCP-Westwood.

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is a transport layer protocol that supports multipath transmission. If a bufferbloat occurs in one of the subflows of MPTCP, HoL blocking occurs at the receiver due to the difference in packet arrival time among paths. In MPTCP, HoL blocking degrades not only the performance of the path where bufferbloat occurs, but also the performance of other paths. In this paper, we propose a bandwidth measurement based scheduler to solve this problem. Bandwidth measurement based scheduler is designed to measure the bandwidth of each subflow and to perform packet scheduling based on it. In order to verify the proposed scheduler, we implemented the proposed scheduler in the Linux kernel and constructed a testbed in which bufferbloat occurs. Experimental results show that the proposed scheduler has better performance than the legacy MPTCP in bufferbloat environment.

For very large multimedia traffic to be supported successfully in wireless network environment, it is necessary to provide Quality-of-Service(QoS) guarantees between mobile hosts(clients). In order to guarantee the Qos, we have to keep the call blocking probability below target value during handoff session. However, the QoS negotiated between the client and the network may not be guaranteed due to lack of available channels for traffic in the new cell, since mobile clients should be able to continue their on-going sessions. In this paper we propose a efficient load-balancing algorithm based on the adaptive bandwidth reservation scheme for enlarging available channels in a cell. We design a new method to predict the mobility of clients using MPT(mobility profile table). This method is then used to reserve a part of bandwidths for handoff calls to its adjacent cells and this reserved bandwidth can be used for handoff call prior to new connection requests. If the number of free channels is also under a low threshold value, our scheme use a load-balancing algorithm with a adaptive bandwidth reservation. In order to evaluate the performance of our algorithm, we measure the metrics such as the blocking probability of new calls and dropping probability of handoff calls, and compare with other existing schemes.

For multimedia traffics to be supported successfully in wireless network environment, it is necessary to provide Qualify-of-Service(QoS) guarantees among mobile hosts(clients). In order to guarantee the QoS, we have to keep the call blocking probability below a target value during hand-off session. However, the QoS negotiated between the client and the network may not be guaranteed due to lack of available channels for traffic of a new cell, since on service mobile clients should be able to continue their sessions. In this paper, we propose an efficient load-balancing algorithm based on the adaptive bandwidth reservation scheme for enlarging available channels in a cell. Proposed algorithm predicts the direction of clients in a cell and adjusts the amount of the channel to be reserved according to the load status of the cell. This method is used to reserve a part of bandwidths of a cell for hand-off calls to its adjacent cells and this reserved bandwidth can be used for hand-off call prior to new connection requests. If the number of free channels is also under a low threshold value, our scheme use a load-balancing algorithm with an adaptive bandwidth reservation. In order to evaluate the performance of our algorithm, we measure metrics such as the blocking probability of new calls and dropping probability of hand-off calls, and compare with those of existing schemes.

모바일 디바이스의 성능이 향상되고 무선 네트워크에 기반한 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅이 새로운 패러다임으로 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만, 모바일 디바이스는 여전히 프로세서의 처리 능력, 메모리 크기, 그리고 네트워크 대역폭 면에서 제약이 많기 때문에 이를 극복하기 위한 미들웨어의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 미들웨어의 효과적인 개발을 위한 시뮬레이션 툴을 설계하고 ns2(network simulator 2) 상에서 구현하였다. 이 시뮬레이션 툴은 유비쿼터스 환경에서 디바이스의 자원 관리, 프로세서와 네트워크 상에서의 소요 전력 측정, 네트워크의 가용 대역폭 측정, 상황 인식(context-aware) 및 코드 마이그레이션 기능을 제공하며 이를 통하여 다양한 모바일 미들웨어를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있다.
