The transcoding is a solution which is able to adapt to heterogeneous clients of requesting a different playback rate of multimedia data. Thus, The transcoding needs decoding and encoding. In general, previous studies to reduce complexity have a problem, the degradation of visual quality On the contrary, previous studies to reduce the degradation of visual quality lead to heavy computation. Thus, many researchers have studied a solution between the complexity and the degradation of visual quality. But until now, most researches of this region have dealt with the transcoder itself, such researches about a server's assistance to improve the performance of transcoder is rarely studied. In case of servicing multimedia data to heterogeneous clients which have low capabilities, the assistance of server side is able to reduce frames with processing in the transcoder and improve the performance of the transcoder. Thus in this paper, we propose the frame-skipping transcoder system architecture that takes into consideration transcoder and server side to reduce the complexity of the transcoder.

In this paper, we presented function catalogs that Internet content transcoding system for heterogeneous client devices must offer, and, we proposed content transcoding framework architecture that is good in extensibility. This transcoding framework can accommodate each transcoder in efficient way using device capability and user preference information based on W3C's CC/PP and Wap forum's UAProf specification. This architecture offers advantages that can add developed transcoder dynamically in Plug-In form later.

Most of the multimedia contents for DBM services art provided as MPEG-2 bit streams. However, they have to be transcoded to H.264 bit streams for practical services because the standard video codec for DMB is H.264. The existing transcoder architecture is Cascaded Pixel-Domain Transcoding Architecture, which consists of the MPEG-2 dacoding phase and the H.264 encoding phase. This architecture can be easily implemented using MPEG-2 decoder and H.264 encoder without source modifying. However. It has disadvantages in transcoding time and DCT-mismatch problem. In this paper, we propose two kinds of transcoder architecture, DCT-OPEN and DCT-CLOSED, to complement the CPDT architecture. Although DCT-OPEN has lower PSNR than CPDT due to drift problem, it is efficient for real-time transcoding. On the contrary, the DCT-CLOSED architecture has the advantage of PSNR over CPDT at the cost of transcoding time.

In this paper, we propose an efficience transcoder architecture to support a simutaneous multibitrate output. First, we discuss about some architectures to realize this feature. Next, we explain the proposed architecture, it shares not only VLD-IQ but alse Q-VlD which have the same quantization step sizes each other. We anlyze the numbers of Q-VLC times per on Macroblock to the investigate an effect of sharing, and evaluate its computation complexity. The result of simulation, that complexity has an upper limit and it cn support any numbers of bitstream by about 3~6 times complexity than single output.

The desired level for multimedia services in the mobile web environment, the next generation web environment, is expected to be of PC level quality. And great efforts have been made in the development of hadware technology, communication technology, various kinds of services and standardization to support these services, In the mobile web environment, multimedia contents adaptation services should be available through supporting various kinds of devices, network abilities and users' preferences. It means that due to the variety of both desired devices' hardware specifications, called destinations, and desired QoSes, the QoSes in the destinations are not fixed or defined. If a new user wants to stream multimedia contents in a server through a new kind of terminal device, it should be considered whether the existing transcoders are able to adapt the multimedia contents. However, the existing libraries for multimedia adaptation have heavy transcoder figures which include all adaptive functions in one library, The challenge of universal access is too complex to be solved with these all in one solutions. Therefore, in this paper we propose an application independent multimedia adaptation framework which meets the QoS of new and varied mobile devices. This framework is composed of a group of unit transcoders having only one transcoding function respectively, Instead of heavy transcoders. Also, It includes the transcoder manager supporting the dynamic connections of the unit transcoders in order to satisfy end to end QoS.

In this paper, we investigate the system performance when the voice traffic is constructed as the ATM Adaptation Layer type 2(AAL-2) and then it is transmitted to the Base Station Controller(BSC) from the Base Station Transceiver Subsystem(BTS) through El link in International Mobile Telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000) network. For this purpose, we first briefly describe the architecture of the BTS and the BSC, and then model it as a queueing network. By simulation study, we present the required processing time at traffic control blocks and the timeout time which should be set for multiplexing the user packets in the LIU(Line Interface Unit). Further, we evaluate the performance of physical links and the timeout probability that user packets can not be multiplexed within the established timeout time, and the multiplexing gain. Finally, we present the number of voice users who can be simultaneously admitted on one El link and 99.9% value of the transmission delay from the Radio Channel Element(RCE) to the Selector & Transcoder Subsystem(STS).

In order to access digital items in a server via ubiquitous devices, the digital items should be adapted according to the system environment, device characteristics and user preferences. In ubiquitous environment, those device-dependent adaptation requirements are not statically determined and not predictable. Therefore an application specific adaptation mechanism can not be applied to a general digital item adaptation engine. In this paper, we propose an application independent digital item adaptation architecture which has a set of minimal transcoders, transcoding path generator for a required adaptation requirement, and adaptation scheduler. And a CFG based method of finding a sequence of multiple unit transcoders called a transcoding path Is described in detail followed by experimental results.

The split-screen function on the multipoint control unit(MCU) which is usually using processing method based on pixel domain has many problems for manipulating the video signal in real-time. Although the researches and the developements to cope ith such problems are processing, these have too complex architecture to implement and are limited to method for H.261 video signal. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism for split-screen that can actually apply to ISO/IEC MPEG video standard. The new method that is proposed in this paper do the processes in complete compression domain, thus it is suitable for the application of real-time multipoint multimedia communication service. By simple interpreting and manipulating the MPEG video element stream, the split-screen functional module can be implemented easily and the result of the procedures does not accompany image degradation at all. Finally, the complexity of implementation, the aspect for processing delay and the loss of image quality as compared to that resulting in the case of applying the previous split-screen method has been investigated. And it is confirmed that the proposed mechanism has a significant advantage as a split-screen method.
