Digital Multimedia Broadcasting is the next generation broadcasting service which enables various digital multimedia contents, i.e., audio and video, and data access for mobile users. However, due to the bandwidth limitation, the spatial resolution is limited to CIF(Common Interleaved Frame). The Advanced Terrestrial DMB (AT-DMB) secures additional bandwidth by adopting hierarchical modulation transmission technology and provides high data rate and quality for mobile multimedia broadcasting services with scalable video coding(SVC). This paper proposes scalable video coding technology for AT-DMB which enables high quality mobile multimedia broadcasting services that exceeds current DMB service's quality and contents capability.

Facing limited network resources such as bandwidth and processing capability, the Internet will have congestion from time to time. In this paper, we propose a scheme to maximize the total utility offered by the network to the end user during congested times. We believe the only way to achieve our goal is to make the scheme application-aware, that is, to take advantage of the characteristics of the application. To make our scheme scalable, it is designed to be class-based. Traffic from applications with similar characteristics is classified into the same class. We adopted the RED queue management mechanism to adaptively control the traffic belonging to the same class. To achieve the optimal utility, the traffic belonging to different classes should be controlled differently. By adjusting link bandwidth assignments of different classes, the scheme can achieve the goal and adapt to the changes of dynamical incoming traffic. We use the control theoretical approach to analyze our scheme. In this paper, we focus on optimizing the control on two types of traffic flows: TCP and Simple UDP (SUDP, modeling audio or video applications based on UDP). We derive the differential equations to model the dynamics of SUDP traffic flows and drive stability conditions for the system with both SUDP and TCP traffic flows. In our study, we also find analytical results on the TCP traffic stable point are not accurate, so we derived new formulas on the TCP traffic stable point. We verified the proposed scheme with extensive NS2 simulations.

We can foresee the rapidly growing of users by development of VoIP service what can transmit a audio traffic with low cost among a lots application using internet. VoIP needs a standardized protocol that is able to do signaling for offering high quality of services such as mobility, universal number, multiparty conference, voice mail, automatic call distribution. At the present time, a base composition elements of SIP(Session Intiation Protocol) are developing for offering VoIP based SIP in the inside and outside of the country, because SIP of IETF which has a strength from 'fast connection', 'parsing' & 'easy to compile' points of view. This paper suggests a type of Hybrid SIP Server for providing some services as 'a reducing load of SIP server that process a request method from users', 'efficiency of managing networks', 'offering services to many users'.

정보통신 기술의 발달로 근래에는 인터넷 방송 서비스가 활성화되었으며 누구든 자유롭게 방송을 제작하거나 청취할 수 있다. 이러한 인터넷 방송을 이용하기 위해서는 PC 를 이용하는 방법이 일반적이지만 오디오 서비스만을 이용할 경우 불편하다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 사양의 시스템에서 인터넷 방송을 청취하기 위한 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 설계 기법 그리고 효율적인 버퍼링 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 8 비트 마이크로 컨트롤러, 32KB 의 메모리, Hardwired TCP/IP Stack 그리고 Hardwired MP3 디코더를 이용하여 설계하였으며 각 작업간의 스케쥴링을 위하여 타이머 인터럽트를 이용하였다. 16KB의 메모리로 몇 가지 버퍼링 기법을 제안했다. 폴링 방식은 가장 보편적인 방법으로 데이터를 전송받는 작업과 음악을 재생하는 작업이 순차적으로 이루어진다. 이 방법은 데이터 전송과 음악 재생을 동시에 할 수 없기 때문에 타이머 인터럽트를 이용한 버퍼링 모델이 사용된다. 두 번째로 메모리를 두개의 블록으로 나누어 한 블록에는 데이터를 저장하고 다른 한 블록에는 데이터를 내보내는 '더블 버퍼링'을 제안했다. 세 번째는 메모리 블록을 여러 단계로 나눈'n-Queue 버퍼링' 기법을 제안했다. 마지막으로 네트워크 상황에 따라서 블록의 개수를 유동적으로 조절하는 '가변 길이 n-Queue 버퍼링' 기법을 제안했다. 이 방법은 네트워크 상황에 따라 메모리의 크기를 유동적으로 할당하기 때문에 메모리 사용률이 높아지는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 운영체제를 사용하지 않았기 때문에 TV 나 오디오 등 다른 시스템에 이식이 용이하므로 다양한 기기에 적용이 가능하다.

Parametric array transducers are used for highly directional speaker in an air environments. Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers for parametric array transducers need DC-biased voltage driving signals in order to get high-directional quality-sound features. The existing power amplifier such as class A amplifiers has low efficiency and require large volume heatsinks. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional amplifier, this paper proposes a new power amplifier system. The proposed power amplifier system ensures high linearity of output characteristic by utilizing the push-pull class B type amplifier. Furthermore, the proposed power amplifier system gets high efficiency because it contains the DC-DC converter-type power supply which can perform energy recovery and envelope tracking function. Also the paper suggests the detailed circuit topology. Its characteristics are verified by the detailed experimental results.
