This paper proposes a network-adaptive mechanism for HTTP-based video streaming over wireless/mobile networks. To provide adaptive video streaming over wireless/mobile networks, the proposed mechanism consists of a throughput estimation scheme in the time-variant wireless network environment and a video rate selection algorithm used to increase the streaming quality. The adaptive video streaming system with proposed modules is implemented using an open source multimedia framework and is validated over emulated wireless/mobile networks. The emulator helps to model and emulate network conditions based on data collected from actual experiments. The experiment results show that the proposed mechanism provides higher video quality than the existing system provides and a rate of video streaming almost void of freezing.

To provide high-quality media streaming service over the best-effort Internet, an efficient streaming system with a network-adaptive transport is essential. By adopting FEC-based adaptive transport and by matching it to the priority of media packets, in this paper, an enhanced MPEG-4 streaming system is implemented. The implemented adaptive transport can complement the existing MPEG-4 streaming server with components such as elementary stream provider, sync layer and DMIF layer. Sync layer packets of each MPEG-4 elementary stream are prioritized and then selectively dropped at the sender to match the currently available bandwidth. Also, with the proposed adaptive transport module, the level of FEC protection is dynamically adjusted based on the underlying network condition. With preliminary verification over the emulated network testbed, it is shown that the proposed implementation can mitigate the impact of network fluctuation and thus improve the quality of streaming.

최근 네트워크 기술과 모바일 기기의 발달로 인해 네트워크를 효율적으로 사용하여 비디오 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 서비스가 주목 받게 되었다. 사용자 중심 방송에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 대화형 멀티미디어에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스는 사용자가 선택하는 시나리오에 따라 영상을 재생하는 방식이다. 기존의 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 방식으로 대화형 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하면 사용자가 시나리오를 선택하는 시점에 따라 시나리오 변환에 의한 지연 및 버퍼 언더플로우를 유발하여 사용자 체감 품질을 저하시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 끊김 없는 대화형 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 기반의 대화형 멀티미디어 전송 기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 대화형 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 위한 시스템 구조와 프리패칭 기법이다.

국내외적으로 방송과 통신이 융합된 형태의 서비스가 인터넷을 통하여 제공되고 있으며, 스마트TV를 통한 다양한 양방향 서비스가 제공되는 상황에서 제한적인 유무선 네트워크 상황에 적응하여 끊김 없이 콘텐츠를 제공하는 것이 멀티미디어 서비스의 핵심 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷과 같은 대역폭이 유동적인 환경에서 끊김 없는 OHTV(Open Hybrid TV) 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) 규격을 준수하는 콘텐츠 제작 시스템을 개발하였고, 기존 OHTV 서비스 플랫폼과 쉽게 연동하는 구체적인 방법을 제시하고 있다. 개발한 시스템은 OHTV 규격에 정의되어 있는 다양한 서비스 중에 IP VOD, 비디오 클립, 광고 서비스에 적용되어 네트워크 상황에 유동적으로 적응하여 안정적으로 끊김 없는 서비스를 제공함을 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Recently, due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services such as the mobile IPTV. In such a wireless broadband network, transmitting a continuous stream of multimedia data is difficult to achieve due to mobile stations (MSs) movement. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia video streaming applications requires the server and/or client to be network-aware and adaptive. Therefore, in order to deploy a mobile IPTV service in wireless broadband networks, offering users efficient wireless resource utilization and seamlessly offering user perceived QoS are important issues. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive streaming scheme, called MARC (Mobile-aware Adaptive Rate Control), which adjusts the quality of bit-stream and transmission rate of video streaming based on the wireless channel status and network status. The proposed scheme can control the rate of multimedia streaming to be suitable for the wireless channel status by using awareness information of the wireless channel quality and the mobile station location. The proposed scheme can provide a seamless multimedia playback service in wireless broadband networks in addition to improving the QoS of multimedia streaming services. The proposed MARC scheme alleviates the discontinuity of multimedia playback and allocates a suitable client buffer to the wireless broadband network. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

This paper proposes a quality-of-service(QoS)-adaptive proxy-switching scheme for multimedia streaming over the Internet. characteristic of multimedia-object about that effect on weight and transport-time causes Streaming Application is restricted to high-quality-service. But using of Proxy or Cache can reduce restraint of media stream. However previous scheme propose only structure of proxy and skill of streaming-object. It couldn't propose proper scheme about limited cache and proxy error occasion. We propose adaptive-proxy-switching mechanism for solution about some problems that caused by single-proxy and limited cache in case of streaming service.

최근 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍(HTTP adaptive streaming) 서비스가 주목을 받고 있다. 기존 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 서비스의 비디오 품질 조절 기법은 네트워크의 대역폭이나 클라이언트의 버퍼량에 따라 비디오 품질을 조절한다. 그러나 기존 품질 조절 기법은 빈번한 대역폭 변화나 고정된 버퍼 임계로 인해 불필요한 품질 변경이 발생하여 QoE(Quality of Experience)가 저하되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 변화하는 네트워크 환경에서 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 서비스의 QoE 향상을 위해 평균 비디오 품질을 높이면서 불필요한 품질 변경을 최소화하는 비디오 품질 유지 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 버퍼 점유율과 비디오 품질이 높을 경우 품질 유지 기간을 길게 설정하여 높은 품질을 오래 유지한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 평균 비디오 품질을 향상시키고 품질 변경을 최소화하여 QoE를 향상시키는 것을 확인하였다.

CISCO VNI predicted an average annual growth rate of 66% for mobile video traffic between 2014 and 2019 and accordingly much academic research related to video streaming has been initiated. In video streaming, Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) is a streaming technique in which a source video is stored on a server at variable encoding rates and each streaming user requests the most appropriate video encoding rate considering their channel capacity. However, these days, ABR related studies are only focusing on real-time rate adaptation omitting energy efficiency though it is one of the most important requirement for mobile devices, which may cause dissatisfaction for streaming users. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient prefetching based dynamic adaptive streaming technique by considering the limited characteristics of the batteries used in mobile devices, in order to reduce the energy waste and provide a similar level of service in terms of the average video rate compared to the latest ABR streaming technique which does not consider the energy consumption. The simulation results is showing that our proposed scheme saves 65~68% of energy at the average global mobile download speed compared to the latest high performance ABR algorithm while providing similar rate adaptation performance.

In order to provide smart devices with high quality multimedia streaming services, an adaptive streaming technique over HTTP has been received much attention recently and the Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) standard has been established. In DASH, however, the technique to select an appropriate quality of multimedia based on the performance metrics measured in a smart device might have some difficulties to reflect the capabilities of other neighboring smart devices and dynamic network conditions in real time. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a novel software agent approach, called DASH agent (DA), which gathers and analyzes the device capabilities and dynamic network conditions in real time and finally determines the highest achievable quality of segment to meet the best Quality of Experience (QoE) in current situations. The simulation results show that our approach provides higher quality of multimedia segments with less frequency of quality changes to lower quality of multimedia segments.
