This paper proposes a session control model for the P2P(Peer to Peer) IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) services and presents the IPTV session control procedures based on the proposed model. Since, while public IPTV traffic is usually processed via a separate network, P2P IPTV traffic is processed together with the conventional Internet access traffic, the P2P IPTV control mechanism needs to provide multi-stream processing for the constituent TPS(Triple Play Service) traffic and corresponding QoS(Quality of Service) control functions. Besides, P2P IPTV session control mechanism should provide appropriate multicast control functions in order to support effective transmission of video traffic generated by personal IPTV broadcasters. The P2P IPTV session control model proposed in this paper is designed to be based on the standard SIP(Session Initiation Protocol), IGMP(Internet Group Management Protocol), and COPS(Common Open Policy Service) protocol so that it can contribute to the easy and prompt deployment of inter-operable P2P IPTV platform.

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.

Influences of convergent services on the overall industry has become noticeable. Various services are becoming to converge into a single platform because of ever-hanging needs of digital service users. However, few studies have investigated how users' perception of convergent services as well as the quality of experience that service users have while using the convergent services. Therefore, this study aims at identifying perceived patterns of convergent services by IPTV users, which is one of the representative convergent-ervice platforms. It also aims at identifying the impact of perceived convergence pattern on the relationship between goal congruency among individual services and the quality of user experience. Two empirical studies were conducted to accomplish the research goals. We have constructed two prototypes of convergent digital services in the IPTV environment and conducted controlled experiments to verify the research hypotheses. The results indicate that design similarities of two services substantially influence the perceived patterns of convergent services. It was also found that the perceived convergent patterns have significant moderating effects on the impact of perceived goal congruence upon the quality of user experience. This paper ends with limitations as well as implications of the study results.

IPTV is referred to the service which provide integrated IPTV services for providing video, 10/100-Mbit/sec Internet, voice, video-on-demand (VOD), and other broadband applications including home security, video conferencing, and telemedicine. All services are integrated into an IP (Internet Protocol) architecture designed specifically for Gigabit Ethernet FTTH systems, HFC or xDLC. It is absolutely necessary that telecon operators provide IP video delivery platforms that enable service providers to transform their business. With their own products, they can better manage their existing services and generate new revenues from broadcast TV, movies on demand and multimedia. Triple-play is a combination of broadcast, telephony and broadband services offered through IPTV networks. With cable operators allowed to offer a triple-play bundle, the nation's telecom operators are beginning to get a little anxious. Cable operators assert that triple-play is a must-have and natural extension of the cable service bundle. The Korean Cable TV Association asserts that the triple-play model is of paramount importance to the cable industry's future growth. But the telecom sector considers itself unfairly disadvantaged, saying they cannot compete until regulatory issues are resolved. The start of web-based television in Korea may still be some time off with a confrontation between the nation's IT regulator and broadcasting sector over the service's legal boundaries shows no signs of being resolved my time soon. korea should be is the fastest-growing provider of IPTV solutions in the industry, with over worldwide customers.

This paper analyzed major factors affecting video quality in IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) services in multicasting under our lab network environment similar to practical IPTV service networks. We measured video qualities for the broadcasting traffics in IPTV multicasting with or without applying QoS (Quality of Service) technique. The measurements allowed us to extract thresholds of network measurement factors affecting the quality for the service. It will be a good choice that the factors can be a reference to ensure stable video quality for practical IPTV services in multicasting.

오늘날 폐쇄형 IPTV 서비스 환경에서는 일방적인 콘텐츠 제공자로부터 생성 및 생성된 콘텐츠를 소비자가 일방적으로 소비하는 형태이다. 그러나 기존 디지털 콘텐츠의 유통 및 소비과정에서 콘텐츠를 보호하기 위한 각 제공 업체의 솔루션이 독자적인 방식으로 개발되어 이들 간의 호환성 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문은 IP 네트워크를 통해 소비자가 개인 방송 콘텐츠 사업자와 같이 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 생성, 편집하고 고유한 방식으로 스타일대로 콘텐츠를 메타데이타와 함께 패키지 콘텐츠로 재가공하여 소비할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 재가공된 패키지 콘텐츠를 공유 또는 재판매 할 수 있게 하는 개방형 IPTV 서비스 환경에서의 패키지 콘텐츠의 실시간 스트리밍 및 주문형 서비스의 차별적 제공 방안을 제안한다.

방송통신 융합 환경에서 공공서비스를 제공하기 위한 표준화나 규격정립이 안되어 있어 현 시점에서 대국민 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 IPTV 사업자별로 별도의 IPTV 서비스 개발 및 제공이 필요하며, 이에 따른 중복투자 및 운영의 비효율성이 우려된다. IPTV기반 방통융합공공서비스를 제공함에 있어 공공기관과 IPTV사업자들의 중복투자를 막고 효율적인 서비스 제공을 위해 복수의 공공기관과 복수의 IPTV사업자간 효율적인 서비스연동 및 통신망 연동을 위한 체계 정립이 필요하다. 또한 One Source Multi-use 구현을 위한 ACAP-J기반의 서비스 표준플랫폼 정립을 통한 상호 연계 방안 확립이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 ACAP-J기반의 One Source Multi-use를 위한 양방향VOD형 공공서비스 제공 방안과 관련 규격을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose a multiplex channel shopping mall services using IPTV. The main idea and features are as follows. First, we suggest bi-directional conversation channel instead of conventional unidirectional channel. Currently shopping mall broadcast services are one sidedly provided by commercial company. In these kinds of methods, efficient communication of information between commercial company and users is difficult problem. In this paper, we can solve this problem by using IPTV technology. Second, we can create new profit model by using combination of both the advantages of internet shopping mall and the advantages of cable TV shopping mall.

To support seamless IPTV services in IP-based wireless network, delay or interruption time must be minimized because noticeable interruption will make IPTV service users unhappy. A number of protocols have been proposed for solving mobility problem. However effective seamless handover mechanism to support mobile IPTV services yet to be solved. Mobile WiMAX offers a wireless solution in the access networks that can support IPTV services. Goal of this paper is to identify some reasons of delay time during handover process in an IPv6 capable Mobile WiMAX and to perform handover delay of some optimization scenarios given by existing standardization and proposed improvement.

Recent researches of network structure are moving to high-level networks because there are already many research results of low-level network. Especially, current network services has been changed to the multimedia service using multicast routing such as IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) service. And then previous multicast services were provider oriented. So previous multicast structures were organized server/client model. But future multicast services will make user oriented services. Therefore there will be many service providers in the future. At this point, we study P2P network for supporting multi provider. So we research load balancing and contents lookup protocols in P2P network. In this paper, we propose network protocol and system based on super peer P2P for load balancing and efficiently service search. And we considered mobile environment for mobile IPTV.
