Very low bit rate video coding uses the inter-picture video coding method for high compression. The inter-picture video coding is coded based on the information of the previous frames so any packet loss can lead to reduce the image quality on the transmission. In this paper, we proposed the multi-stream generation method for inter-media synchronization of very low bit rate video based on TCP for reliable transmission. The proposed approach performs a reliable transmission via a TCP based protocol. This method incorporates multi-streams in order to enhance the robustness of delivery and can withstand against network jitter. Moreover, the client bandwidths are fully utilized in a highly efficient way.

In this paper, an adaptive multimedia synchronization scheme for VOD (Video On Demand) services in internet environments is proposed. This scheme considers the characteristics of MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) system stream. Consequently, the intra-synchronization is handled at the pack layer, and the inter-synchronization is handled at the packet layer. The proposed scheme can cope adaptively with variation of packet loss, jitter and client's playback capacity. If there are variations of the packet loss or client's playback capacity, the server will change the transmission rate by selective picture skip. The client can then adjust and control the playback time according to the variation of the network jitter. Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme can quickly adapt to the network condition, and can guarantee a better quality of service than the other existing schemes.

The multimedia synchronization is one of the key issues to be resolved in order to provide a good quality of multimedia related services, such as Video on Demands(VoD), Lecture on Demands(LoD), and tele-conferences. In this paper, we introduce an adaptive multimedia synchronization algorithm using the level of buffers and load of servers, which are modeled and analyzed by ExSpect, a Petri net based simulation tool. In the proposed algorithm, the audio and video buffers are divided to 5 different levels, and the pre-defined play-out speed controller tries to make the buffer level to be normal in different temporal relations between multimedia streams using buffer levels and server loads. Because each multimedia packet is played by the pre-defined play-out speed, the media data can be reproduced within the permissible limit of errors while preserving the level of buffers to be normal. The proposed algorithm is able to handle and support various communication restrictions between providers and users, and offers little jitter play-out to many users in networks with the limited transmission capability. The performance of the developed algorithm is analyzed in various network conditions using a Petri net simulation tool.

Synchronizations of intra${\cdot}$intermedia for the lecture presentation in distributed multimedia environments are difficult to guarantee accurate temporal relationship between media, due to the asynchronous errors such as the delay or loss of transferred data or the transmission characteristics of each media. The jitter phenomenon occurs when the network delay has the media arrival rate abnormal because the intra-media synchronization reflects the presentation rate. And the cumulative effective of jitters on a per media stream basis results in a skew. This phenomenon cause confusion to contents recognition of learners due to network delay and can not provide effective interaction of sender and receiver in the distance education. Therefore, this paper can be solution to problems due to network delay by maintaining the requirements of temporal relationship between more than one media. And this paper enables to suggest the inter-media synchronization method that is subject to be influenced by presentation rate, and to implement lecture presentation system for distance education.

초저속 고압축 비디오는 고압축 부호화를 위해 주로 P-픽쳐 부호화 방법을 사용한다. P-픽쳐는 현재 프레임과 이전 프레임간의 데이터 의존성이 높기 때문에 전송시 패킷 손실이 발생할 경우 복원 영상에 심각한 화질 열화를 야기할 수가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 초저속 고압축 비디오 데이터에 대한 미디어내 동기화를 위해 TCP 기반 멀티스트림 생성 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 TCP 기반으로 신뢰성 있는 전송이 가능하며, 멀티 스트립을 통해 병렬 전송이 가능하므로, TCP 기반에서 네트워크 트랙픽에 의해 발생하는 지터에 민감하지 않아 최선의 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.
