In this paper, an adaptive algorithm is proposed in streaming MPEG-4 contents with fluctuating resource amount such as throughput of network conditions. In the area of adaptive streaming issue, a lot of researches have been made on how to represent encoded media(such as video) bitstream in scalable way. By contrast, MPEG-4 supports object-based multimedia content which is composed of various types of media streams such as audio, video, image and other graphical elements. Thus, it can be more effective to provide individual media streams in scalable way for streaming object-based content to heterogeneous environment. The proposed method provides the multiple media streams corresponding to an object with different qualities and bit rate in order to support object based scalability to the MPEG-4 content. In addition, an optimal selection of the multiple streams for each object to meet a given constraint is proposed. The selection process is adopted a multiple choice knapsack problem with multi-step selection for the MPEG-4 objects with different scalability levels. The proposed algorithm enforces the optimal selection process to maintain the perceptual qualities of more important objects at the best effort. The experimental results show that the set of selected media stream for presenting objects meets a current transmission condition with more high perceptual quality.

최근 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스와 스트림 서비스의 급증과 사용자의 서비스 기대 증가로 인해 기존의 컴퓨팅 환경도 인터넷 기반의 분산 멀티미디어 환경으로 변화되고 있다. 이러한 다양한 요구를 만족시키기 위해서는 인터넷 환경과 실시간 특성들이 혼합된 폭넓은 범위의 분산 애플리케이션을 지원해야 하고, 이들 서비스간의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 분산환경인 CORBA기반에서 자원들의 효과적인 관리와 서비스들간의 QoS를 보장하는 분산 QoS 관리 구조를 제시한다 즉, 클라이언트 측에 QoS 제어 관리 모들(QoS Control Management Module)을, 서버측에는 QoS 관리 모듈(QoS Management Module)을 각각 분산시켜 QoS 관리 및 제어를 분산 구조화함으로써 서버 시스템의 부하를 줄이고, 분산 서비스 응용에 지원을 확장할 수 있도록 하며 모듈들의 재사용이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 분산 QoS 제어를 위해 실시간 협약(Negotiation) 및 동적 적응(Dynamic Adaptation)과정이 분산환경에서 수행되도록 기능 설계를 하였다. 이들 기능수행의 전반과정을 UML(Unified Modeling Lang uage)을 이용하여 순차적 다이어그램으로 기술하였다.

Several energy saving techniques in cellular wireless networks such as active base station (BS) selection, transmit power budget adaptation and user association have been studied independently or only part of these aspects have been considered together in literature. In this paper, we jointly tackle these three problems and propose an integrated framework, called dynamic cell reconfiguration (DCR). It manages three techniques operating on different time scales for ultimate energy conservation while guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) level of users. Extensive simulations under various configurations, including the real dataset of BS topology and utilization, demonstrate that the proposed DCR can achieve the performance close to an optimal exhaustive search. Compared to the conventional static scheme where all BSs are always turned on with their maximum transmit powers, DCR can significantly reduce energy consumption, e.g., more than 30% and 50% savings in uniform and non-uniform traffic distribution, respectively.

This paper explores J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy in order to analogize two primary sources which enabled the fantasy literature to be restored to its former popularity in 1930's-50's. First source is the cinematization of the original novel, based on the advanced digital technology, and second, the adaptation of Norse mythology to the original novel. The advanced digital technology rendered a distinguished contribution to the resurrection of the fantasy novel today. Peter Jackson, the director of the film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy gained an un-heard popularity in the history of the fantasy movie. It was practicable with the advanced digital technology. Nevertheless, it could be realized only with the fact that J. R. R. Tolkien's original novel retains the excellence of plot. The episodes of the novel present the author's broad knowledge of Norse mythology and his attempts to employ it to the novel, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Through such two directions, this paper describes that the advanced digital technology and the quality of the original plot are two key elements to succeed in authoring and filming the fantasy literature.

광적응(Luminance Adaptation; LA) 효과는 영상의 배경 밝기에 따른 왜곡에 대한 시각 인지 민감도가 달라지는 특성을 의미한다. 기존 영상 화질 측정(Image Quality Assessment; IQA) 방법들은 베버의 법칙(Weber' s law) 모델을 이용하여 LA 효과를 IQA 방법에 반영해왔다. 그러나, 이러한 IQA 방법들에 있어서 베버의 법칙 기반 LA 효과 모델은 다음 두 가지 이유로 부정확하게 동작한다: (i) 전통적인 베버의 법칙 모델은 실제 광도(luminance)에 대한 인지 민감도 응답값을 정확히 반영할 수 없다는 것이 밝혀졌다, (ii) 대부분 IQA 방법들은 픽셀 강도 영역에서 계산되지만, 베버의 법칙과 같은 LA 효과 모델들은 광도 영역에서 개발되었다. 따라서 광도와 픽셀 강도간 비선형 관계로 인해 IQA 방법에 반영된 베버의 법칙 기반 LA 효과 모델들은 부정확하게 동작한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서 처음으로 픽셀 강도 영역에서의 LA 모델을 이론적으로 유도한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 픽셀 강도 영역에서의 LA 효과 모델은 감마 교정 함수(Gamma correction function)와 광도 영역에서의 LA 효과 모델인 제곱-법칙(power-law) 모델을 기반으로 하는 테일러 급수 확장 근사화를 통해 유도된다. 제안하는 픽셀 강도 영역 LA 효과 모델의 효과를 검증하기 위해, 제안하는 LA 효과 모델을 PSNR 에 도입하여 광범위한 실험을 수행한다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 LA 효과 모델 기반 PSNR 은 PSNR 및 베버의 법칙 기반 PSNR 대비 괄목할 만한 주관적 화질 예측 성능 향상을 보였다.

In this paper, the effective capacity of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in two different cases with receive antenna selection (RAS) and transmit antenna selection (TAS) schemes is investigated. A closed-form solution for the maximum constant arrival rate of this network with statistical delay quality of service (QoS) constraint is extracted in the quasi-static fading channel. This study is conducted in two different cases.When channel state information (CSI) is not available at the MIMO transmitter, implementation of TAS is difficult. Therefore, RAS scheme is employed and one antenna with the maximum instantaneous signal to noise ratio is chosen at the receiver. On the other hand, when CSI is available at the transmitter, TAS scheme is executed. In this case, one antenna is selected at the transmitter. Moreover, an optimal power-control policy is applied to the selected antenna and the effective capacity of the MIMO system is derived. Finally, this optimal power adaptation and the effective capacity are investigated in two asymptotic cases with the loose and strict QoS requirements. In particular, we show that in the TAS scheme with the loose QoS restriction, the effective capacity converges to the ergodic capacity. Then, an exact closed-form solution is obtained for the ergodic capacity of the channel here.

Multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) in long-term evolution (LTE) is an essential factor in achieving high speed data rates and spectral efficiency. The unexpected growth in data rate demand has pushed researchers to extend the benefits of multi-user MIMO. The multi-user MIMO system can take full advantage of channel conditions by employing efficient adjustment techniques for scheduling, and by assigning different modulation and coding rates. However, one of the critical issues affecting this feature is the appropriate estimation of channel quality indicator (CQI) to manage the allocated resources to users. Therefore, an accurate CQI estimation scheme is required for the multi-user MIMO transmission to obtain significant improvements on spectral efficiency. This paper presents overviews of multi-user MIMO in LTE/LTE-advanced systems. The link adaptation, scheduling process, and different factors that affect the reliability of CQI measurements are discussed. State-of-the-art schemes for the post-processing CQI estimation, and the comparisons of various CQI estimation schemes to support multi-user MIMO are also addressed.

The paper studies the Quality of Service(QoS) concept in Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN). Guaranteeing the QoS requirements indistributed multimedia systems and networks is fundamentally an end-to-end issus, that is, from application to application. An important issue in the QoS translation between the application-level QoS and network-level QoS is that the translation depends not only on the translation between system resources and network resources, but also on the translation between thelayered protocol and the access procedures. In this paepr, we propose a methodology for translating the AAL(ATM Adaptation Layer) QoS parameters into the ATM layer QoS parameters in end-systems. The QoS parameters in the ATM layer and AAL are defined, and we concentrate on the translation from the AAL to the ATM layer, because the AAL must be designed to be service dependent and specific. As an example, we concentrate on the constant bit rate(CBR) guaranteed real-time service using AAL1 protocol.

Purpose: This methodological study translated, adapted, and validated the evidence based guideline of RNAO (Registered Nurses Association of Ontario) in Canada, for acute stroke care to domestic circumstances. Methods: Quality of the RNAO guideline was evaluated using AGREE tool. Then the guideline was translated into Korean and a preliminary guideline was established After checking content validation by an expert group, the Korean version of the guideline was applied to clinical settings to see its applicability. Results: The RNAO guideline in Korea was deemed appropriate. The Korean version of the guideline was drawn up with 56 items in 3 areas in stroke system related nursing, nursing of acute stroke inpatients, and stroke nursing assessment. A questionnaire survey was performed on appropriateness, enforceability, and applicability of those recommendations. A total of 54 recommendations were finalized after deleting 2 items below CVI 0.7 and correcting 3 items by taking professional advices. After trial application of the guideline to 40 stroke patients hospitalized at a ward of a hospital in Seoul, its performance was improved but was not statistically significant. Conclusion: This guideline is expected to contribute to improving nursing quality by offering it as a guide to evidence based practices for acute stroke care in Korea.
