This paper proposes a novel framework for virtual content delivery networks (CDNs) based on cloud computing. The proposed framework aims to provide multimedia content delivery services customized for content providers by sharing virtual machines (VMs) in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud, while fulfilling the service level agreement. Furthermore, it supports elastic virtual CDN services, which enables the capabilities of VMs to be scaled to encompass the dynamically changing resource demand of the aggregated virtual CDN services. For this, we provide the system architecture and relevant operations for the virtual CDNs and evaluate the performance based on a simulation.

The union of broadcasting and telecommunication is developing by the rapid advance of communications technology and the digitalization of broadcasting. IPTV appears as a standard service of the union of broadcasting and telecommunication because it uses more extended broadband which enables people to watch TVs and uses various communication services at the same time. Therefore, I would like to study the structure of IPTV services, some technical issues for high-quality services and propose solutions.

Due to the diversity of device performances and the possibility of providing multimedia service through many networks, media consumption environment has been changed in various ways. In recent, mobile services and broadcasting services started to provided through IP network. According to this flow changes, there was great demand for various multimedia services through heterogenous networks. To solve this problem, MMT was suggested as a standard of multimedia transport which replaces MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream) which is used for HD(High Definition) transport. MMT can be provided various broadcasting based on IP through terrestrial, satellite, cable broadcasting networks, and also deliver multimedia through many networks at the same time. MMT was risen as a method of servicing UHD broadcasting. In this paper, we present an implementation of service architecture for hierarchical UHD broadcasting over heterogenous networks using MMT.

UHD broadcasting based on ATSC 3.0 is being implemented in Korea, and discussion on mobile broadcasting based on ATSC 3.0 is underway. The ATSC 3.0 standard introduces internet protocol based standards in order to facilitate the implementation of conventional broadcasting services as well as broadcasting and communication convergence services interlocking with communication services. In this process, various requirements for the receiver have been derived, and factors to consider for developing the receiver product have also increased. ATSC 3.0 broadcasting is currently in the introduction stage of the service, and additional technology development and product implementation related to the receiver should proceed until the full-scale market is formed. In this regard, this paper describes the considerations for developing UHD receiver based on ATSC 3.0 and the test procedure for verifying developed receiver.

With the discontinuation of analog broadcasting in 2012, the cable broadcasters are investing in the conversion to DCATV (Digital Cable TV). DCATV is providing various broadcast of high quality to audiences through paid broadcasting called PPV (Pay Per View). Such services are using various kinds of CASs (Conditional Access System) in order to verify the viewing rights of subscriber. In addition, to respond to the fast changing environment of digital broadcast, not only simple digitalization of broadcast but also services such as PVR (Personal Video Recorder) and VOD (Video On Demand) are provided to subscribers. Because these additional services have many difficult areas to cover with traditional CAS alone, a new plan has become necessary. With the improvement of related regulations in 2008, the test service of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) which is a broadcast service through the internet started. Because like DCATV, IPTV also sets the real time broadcast and the VOD service as the basic services, the use of appropriate CAS is required. In this study, the CASs for DCATV and IPTV undergo comparative analysis, and the development direction which will benefit both subscribers and broadcasting companies is suggested.

In spite of widely deploying information broadcasting services based on Internet, there are some limitations to use them due to the bound of Internet protocol. In this paper, a new Internet broadcasting technology for access network and Location Based Services are proposed by employing IP address translation function in base station. There are some advantages such as, no need to allocate IP address to receiver no need to know web site address, and reduction of traffic for server and network.

In recent, the rapid convergence of telecommunication and broadcasting has been considered as one of the hot issues in the IT industry. This convergence will provide telecom operators with both opportunities and threatens. This is because that telecom operators can enter the broadcasting industry, whereas broadcasters will also have a chance to provide telecom services. This work aims to discuss the business strategy for telecom operators to provide a TV VOD service, one of the convergence services between telecommunication and broadcasting, through the high-speed internet which is so much served in Korea. It seems that this service will achieve two business goals, namely "to minimise an additional investment" and "to find out a new benefit source", by fully utilising a current high-speed internet infrastructure. Finally, this paper mainly contains the market overview of in telecom and broadcasting service, the definition of TV VOD service and the necessity for this service, a market forecasting and the provision strategy of major telecom operators, and key success factors and a benefit model.

The goal of next generation digital broadcasting is offering the interaction among consumers and providers as well as variety services. One of the important factors for this new broadcasting environment keeps the interoperability among providers and consumers since the environment is distributed. Therefore a standard metadata for digital broadcasting is required and TV-Anytime metadata is one of the metadata standards for digital broadcasting. The terminal nodes of TV-Anytime metadata are defined by using MPEG-7 metadata. MPEG-7 metadata is standard metadata for describing multimedia content. Therefore, if we use the MPEG-7 metadata for describing broadcasting content can offer multimedia search services like content-based search by the extension of metadata. The efficient management system for these metadata is important for offering the services with high Duality on real broadcasting environment TV-Anytime metadata and MPEG-7 metadata are technically defined using a single XML schema, so its instances are XML data. Currently, a lot of systemsfor managing XML data are proposed in many researchers and we can expect to adapt these systems for managing broadcasting metadata. But the methods used in these systems are not specific methods for managing broadcasting metadata because of methods for general-purpose. In this paper, we find the properties of broadcasting metadata and develop an efficient metadata management system that is based on the found properties. Since our systemis implemented on real broadcasting environment, we expect that the system is most efficient and suitable. Also our system is interoperable since we use XQuery as query language for querying broadcasting metadata.

In this paper, worldwide standards and regulations on broadcasting services are reviewed to improve the fringe area of terrestrial DTV broadcasting services. Using these results, in-band/out-of-band emission requirements of low power DTV repeater with 10mW/MHz radiating power are proposed, and experimentally evaluated and verified. Using the proposed regulations, compact and cost-effective DTV repeater can be easily implemented to broaden DTV broadcasting coverage and to improve small/medium size DTV fringe areas.

Traditional broadcasting environment is merged with various interactive broadcasting services, and the users use these services through Set-Top-Boxes. But they have limited user interfaces, which are not suitable for TV environments by adopting internet formats. Therefore, this paper suggests a User Navigating Interface which helps the audiences to select and watch their favorite channels more effectively. Firstly, this paper analyzes EPG interface - the most basic service in interactive broadcasting. Secondly, it suggests a user interface and service structure suitable in the network-integrated TV environment.
