  • The various challenges to realize a fixed wireless ATM network are discussed and some solutions for these challenges are presented. In this paper, the capacity allocation in wireless ATM, the wireless link impact on ATM traffic, and the optimum utilization of the wireless network resonrces for a line of sight (LOS) winless ATM link are studied. An adaptive MQAM modulator is introduced to provide a suitable solution to these issues. The modulator level is adjusted using a unique QoS metric in a wireless network. The metric, termed modified effective bandwidth, takes into account the bandwidth demand, QoS requirements, and outage conditions of the wireless ATM link. A performance study using VBR MPEG-l video traffic in a fixed wireless channel (Ricean channel) demonstrates the advantages of the proposed system.

  • Recently, the web-based adaptive streaming service, DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP), is receiving more attention. However, existing network-based and buffer-based video quality control schemes in DASH environments make oscillation of segment throughput, causing degradation of the quality of experience (QoE) with frequent quality changes and playback interruptions because these schemes do not consider the content characteristics. In this paper, we propose a C-DASH (Content Characteristics based Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) scheme in order to improve the QoE in DASH environments. The C-DASH scheme performs seamless and smooth quality control based on the segment throughput, buffer status, and segment size of the content. Based on simulation results, it is confirmed that the C-DASH scheme can improve the QoE, when compared with the existing quality control schemes.

  • Smoothing is a transmission plan that converts video data stored at a variable bit rate into a fixed bit rate. Algorithms for smoothing include CBA, which aims to minimize the number of transmission rate increases, MCBA, which minimizes the number of transmission rate changes, and MVBA algorithms that minimize the amount of transmission rate change. This paper compares the proposed algorithm with the CBA algorithm with various video data, buffer size, and performance evaluation factors as a follow-up to the proposed smoothing algorithm that minimizes (maximizes) the transmission rate increase (decrease) when the server requires more bandwidth The evaluation factors used were compared with the number of changes in the fps rate, the minimum fps, the average fps, fps variability, and the number of frames to be discarded. As a result of the comparison, the proposed algorithm showed superiority in comparing the number of fps rate changes and the number of frames discarded.

  • Smoothing is a transmission plan that converts video data stored at a variable bit rate into a constant bit rate. In the study of [6-7], when a data rate increase is required, the frame with the smallest increase is set as the start frame of the next transmission rate section, when a data tate decrease is required. the frame with the largest decrease is set as the start frame of the next transmission rate section, And the smoothing algorithm was proposed and performance was evaluated in an environment where network traffic is not considered. In this paper, the smoothing algorithm of [6-7] evaluates the adaptive CBA algorithm and performance with minimum frame rate, average frame rate, and frame rate variation from 512KB to 32MB with E.T 90 video data in an environment that considers network traffic. As a result of comparison, the smoothing algorithm of [6-7] showed superiority in the comparison of the minimum refresh rate.

  • In a VOD(Vide-On-Demand) system, video data are generally stored in magnetic disk array. In order to provide real-time requirement for data retrieval, video streams must be delivered continuously to the clients such that the delivery of continuous media can be guaranteed in a timely fashion. Compared to the increased performance of processors and networks, the performance of magnetic disk systems have improved only modestly. In order to improve the performance of storage system, disk array system is proposed and used. The array system improves I/O performance by placing disks in parallel and retrieving data concurrently. In this paper, two approaches are considered in order to access the video data in a VOD system, which are CTL(Constant Time Length) and CDL(Constant Data Length) access policies. Disk scheduling policies are also classified into the two categories and compared in terms of the maximum allowable video streams with different degrees of disk array synchronization, under the mixed environments in which both data access policy and disk scheduling policy are considered. Among the compared scheduling policies, LOOK was shown to have the best performance. In terms of degree of disk synchronization, more gain was achieved with large degree of synchronization. In comparisons of performance of CTL and CDL, CTL was proved to have a little superior performance in terms of number of maximum allowable streams.

  • In scalable streaming application, there are two important knobs to tune to effectively exploit the underlying network resource and to maximize the user perceivable quality of service(QoS): layer selection and packet scheduling. In this work, we propose Semantics Aware Packet Scheduling (SAPS) algorithm to address these issues. Using packet dependency graph, SAPS algorithm selects a layer to maximize QoS. We aim at minimizing distortion in selecting layers. In inter-frame coded video streaming, minimizing packet loss does not imply maximizing QoS. In determining the packet transmission schedule, we exploit the fact that significance of each packet loss is different dependent upon its frame type and the position within group of picture(GOP). In SAPS algorithm, each packet is assigned a weight called QoS Impact Factor Transmission schedule is derived based upon weighted smoothing. In simulation experiment, we observed that QOS actually improves when packet loss becomes worse. The simulation results show that the SAPS not only maximizes user perceivable QoS but also minimizes resource requirements.

  • Smoothing is a transmission plan where variable rate video data is converted to a constant bit rate stream. Among them are CHA, MCBA. MVBA, e-PCRTT and others. E-PCRTT algorithm, which was improved from PCRTT, restricts the number of rate changes with fixed-size run. This causes unnecessary rate changes and may not guarantee QoS when buffer size is small. In this paper. a smoothing algorithm is pro-posed, where the number of rate changes are not limited and the size of run can be flexible, in order to overcome the shortcomings of e-PCRTT. Experiments demonstrated that the proposed algorithm such as e-PCRTT. In order to show the performance, var-ious evaluation factors were used such as the nember of rate changes, buffer size to maintain QoS, and so on.

  • EBS started 2HD MMS experimental broadcasting for the first time in Korea on Feb. 11, 2015. It uses the picture compression technique based on MPEG-2 CODEC, and applies the result of the experiment about variable bit rates and changes according to the scanning types, 1080i and 720p. But when changing channels, the delay in displaying picture occurs because of the operation of the variable GOP on MMS broadcasting, which optimizes image quality by application variable bit rates. In this study, verified the relationship between the decoding time of I frames and the GOP set in the encoding step by experimenting and analyzing ON-AIR TS. By using the verification data and adjusts the Encoder GOP parameters, improved the different video display time delays according to the scanning mode 1080i and 720p.

  • In order to transmit video data stored in servers with limited bandwidth in IoT environments to many clients, a transmission plan must be established by considering factors such as the number of transmission rate changes, peak transmission rate, and transmission rate changes. This transmission plan is called smoothing, and includes CBA that minimizes the number of transmission rate increases, MCBA that minimizes the number of transmission rate changes, and MVBA to minimize the transmission rate changes. In this work, to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm[16], we compare the proposed algorithm with the existing smoothing algorithms with the peak rate, the number of transmission rate changes, the rate increase, the peak rate utilization, and the average transmission rate with various video data and buffer sizes. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm helps to efficiently use the server's finite network resources by establishing a transport plan with the lowest average transfer rate.

  • Smoothing is to creating a transmission plan consisting of sections of frames that can be sent at the same transmission rate for compressed and stored video data. Various algorithms have been studied for the smoothing to minimize the number of transmission rate changes, the number of transmission rate changes, and the amount of transmission rate increase. This study evaluates the performance of a smoothing algorithm that minimizes the increase in transmission rates and maximizes the increase in transmission rates when the transmission rate is required to maximize the excess bandwidth to be secured by the server in an environment with limited server bandwidth. The available transmission rates and buffer sizes available in the server are set in various ways and evaluated by the number of fps changes, the minimum fps, the average fps, and fps variability. As a result of the comparison, the proposed algorithm showed excellent average fps and fps variability.
