Recently, the convergence of the telecommunications industry through the development of network media has brought along interactive data services in addition to the traditional broadcast services by providing direct connections between the users and the broadcasters. This can be easily achieved by the combination of existing network technology and multimedia technology, but in reality, as seen in the actual implementation of IPVT, it's difficult to provide satisfactory levels of service to users due to issues of network bandwidth and problems of streaming system. In particular, a network which is able to fully support Qos/QoE, and also a fast enough channel changing technology that is satisfactory to the user, are prerequisites for IPTV success. Therefore this thesis proposes a fast channel changing technique to delivery enhanced IPTV user experience. Recent IP set-top-boxes use only a small portion of the CPU to feed Ethernet packets to the hardware decoder and play them. Thus, by making IP set-top-boxes share cached channel information and content with each other, reducing the load on the server and enhancing the channel changing time is made possible.

Recently mobile broadcast standards that have IP layer between transport layer and service layer such as DVB-IPDC, OMA-BCAST have been commercialized. Specially, IP abstract layer of OMA-BCAST makes it possible to interface diverse transport layers. Service guide, that is important for user interface, of these mobile broadcast standards has complex structure and heterogeneous schema. ESG schema is not interoperable, therefore terminals should have various implementations of service layer to support more than one service layer at a time. In this paper, not only for enabling interoperability of DVB-IPDC and OMA-BCAST but for supporting basic scenarios of mobile broadcast, simple ESG schema was developed. This new schema can be used as an independent ESG schema, especially for the integrated mobile broadcast middleware environment.

In this paper, we propose an estimation of network jitter that occurs when transmitting TCP packets containing MPEG-2 TS in progressive streaming service over wired or wireless Internet networks. Based on the estimated network jitter size, we can calculate required de-jitter buffering time to absorb the network jitter at the receiver side. For this purpose, by exploiting the PCR timestamp existing in the TS packet header, we create a new timestamp information that is marked in the optional field of TCP packet header to estimate the network jitter. By using the proposed de-jitter buffering scheme, it is possible to employ the conventional T-STD buffer model without any modification in the progressive streaming service over IP networks. The proposed method can be applicable to the recently developed international standard, MPEG DASH (dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP) technology.

Due to the rapid increase of available contents via the convergence of broadcasting and internet, the efficient access to personally preferred contents has become an important issue. In this paper, for recommendation scheme for TV programs using a collaborative filtering technique is studied. For recommendation of user preferred TV programs, our proposed recommendation scheme consists of offline and online computation. About offline computation, we propose reasoning implicitly each user's preference in TV programs in terms of program contents, genres and channels, and propose clustering users based on each user's preferences in terms of genres and channels by dynamic fuzzy clustering method. After an active user logs in, to recommend TV programs to the user with high accuracy, the online computation includes pulling similar users to an active user by similarity measure based on the standard preference list of active user and filtering-out of the watched TV programs of the similar users, which do not exist in EPG and ranking of the remaining TV programs by proposed rank model. Especially, in this paper, the BM (Best Match) algorithm is extended to make the recommended TV programs be ranked by taking into account user's preferences. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme with the extended BM model yields 62.1% of prediction accuracy in top five recommendations for the TV watching history of 2,441 people.

Multi-media service has been changed into user based audio services, which service supports actively user's preference and interaction with the users. In the market, multi-media products which can support the highest audio-quality by using lossless audio technology have been released and object audio music which user can select the objects has been serviced. In this paper, we design user's preference information based object audio file format and audio scene description for storage and transmission media. The designed file format is designed based on MPEG-4 file format because high-quality audio codecs in MPEG-4 audio can be easily used and the track of file format can be flexibly controlled depend on the number of the instrument in music. The encoded audio data of each objects and encoded audio scene description by binary encoding that has independent track are packed in a file. The scene description for storage media is consist of full and object scene description, the scene description for transmission media has an essential description for object audio operation and a specific description for real audio sound. The designed file format based simulator is developed and it generates an object audio file with several scene descriptions. Also, the real audio sound is serviced by the interaction with user and the unpacked scene description.

In this study, a framework for web-based information system in VDN environment for safety and health monitoring in subway stations is suggested. Since physical variables that describing safety and health need to be closely monitored in multiple locations in subway stations, concept of distributed monitoring network using wireless media needs to be implemented. Connecting remote wireless sensor network and device (LonWorks) networks to the IP network based on the concept of VDN can provide a powerful, integrated and distributed monitoring performance, making a web-based information system possible.

본고에서는 MPEG에서 설계하여 ISO 표준화한 실시간/저지연 미디어 전송 기술인 MMT (MPEG Media Transport) 에 대해 알아본다. MMT는 인터넷 환경과 통합된 차세대 방송 시스템에의 적용을 목표로 설계된 기술로, IP 기반 전송 프로토콜의 사용과 HTML5 기반 서비스 제공을 가정하여 MPEG2-TS의 장점을 계승하면서 이종망 및 다기기 서비스의 지원을 고려하여 설계 되었다. 따라서 MMT는 고품질의 UHD TV서비스를 안정적으로 제공함과 동시에 인터넷 활용 부가 서비스 제공을 목적으로 하는 차세대 지상파 방송에 있어 최적화된 표준 기술이라 할 수 있다.
