A region-based video codec based on the H.263+ standard is examined and its associated novel rate control scheme is proposed in this work. The region-based coding scheme is a hybrid method that consists of the traditional block DCT coding and the object-based coding. Basically, we adopt H.263+ as the platform, and develop a fast macroblock-based segmentation method to implement the region-based video codec. The proposed rate control solution includes rate control in three levels: encoding frame selection, frame-layer rate control and macroblock-layer rate control. The goal is to enhance the visual quality of decoded frames at low bit rates. The efficiency of proposed rate control scheme applied to the region-based video codes is demonstrated via several typical test sequences.

In this paper, a model for two-layered video traffic is proposed. The performance analysis of the proposed model and the effects of two-layer coding scehemes in ATM networks are also studied. ATM-based networks give the possibility to support image codingat variable bit rate(VBR). Two layer coding is one of the very promising methods among many proposed methods to compensate the cell loss, the major drawback in ATM networks. From the experimental data of the 2-layer coded video traffics, it is observed that traffic patterns of base layer and enhanced layer are highly correlate to each other, when constant image quality is kept. With this observation, coded two layered video traffic can be modeled as 2-dimensional Markov chain. The model well fit the real experimental data. The model was used for the analysis of the performance of statistical multiplexer with priorites in ATM networks.

Many recent studies have been conducted involving the transport of constant and variable bit rate MPEG-2 video in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. In this study, the traffic control of supporting MPEG-2 video communications in ATM networks under unloaded or loaded network conditions, in which the generated traffic sources are bursty in nature, are considered. We analyse about MPEG-2 traffic and design a model, which makes use of the ATM OAM funcation in order to support the traffic control functions. To implement the model, we propose a scheme, which combines the performance management OAM function and the bandwidth allocation function. Especially, we design this scheme to control the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)MPEG-2 video traffic.

최근 인터넷의 확산과 더불어 디지털 비디오 라이브러리(DVL : Digital Video Library) 서비스에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 통신망 대역폭과 스위칭 환경 하에서는 종단간 QoS 보장하는데 많은 제약사항이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비디오 스트림 처리를 효율적으로 수행하여, 지연-처리율 특성을 만족할 수 있는 스트림 스위칭 구조를 제안하고 이에 대한 성능을 분석하였다. 제안된 ATM-기반 스트림 스위치는 각각 다중화되는 CBR(Constant Bit Rate) 및 VBR(Variable Bit Rate) 스트림의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해야만 한다. 성능분석 결과는 제안된 스위치의 처리율이 r=4일 때 약 0.996의 값을 보였으며, 지연시간도 부하가 0.7 이하일 때 2미만으로 특정되었다. 이 결과는 제안된 구조가 적당한 입력 스트림의 그룹핑을 통하여 비디오 응용을 위한 처리율 및 지연 요구사항 QoS를 보장할 수 있음을 보여준다.

인터넷 기술이 반전함에 따라서 인터넷을 통한 서비스에 대한 관심도가 증가되고 있다. 특히 멀티미디어 서비스인 경우 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장해야 만다. 그런데 제한된 대역폭 내에서 전송량이 급격히 증가하는 경우 네트워크 자원의 이용도와 서비스의 품질에 큰 영향을 준다. 이에 스무딩 기법은 가변 비트율(VBR : Variable Bit Rate)을 가진 비디오 스트림(Stream)을 전송할 때 네트워크 자원의 이용도와 서비스의 품질 저하를 막기 위해 전송률(Transmission rate)을 일정하게 유지시키는 기법으로 서버와 네트워크 사이의 중간노드에서 수행된다. 본 논문에서 스무딩 알고리즘을 프레임 단위로 저리할 경우 해당자원의 과부하가 탄생하므로 이를 개선한 스무딩 알고리즘을 제안하고, 기존 스무딩 알고리즘의 시간 복잡도와 성능을 중심으로 비교 분석하였다.

In general, cell transmission delay is more sensitive for real time video service rather than cell losses in a wireless ATM network. Existing handoff schemes, which are emphasizing the prevention of cell losses, have limitations in cell transmission delay to satisfy QoS. In this paper, we propose a scheme to minimize transmission delay generated during the handoff and to maintain the sequence of cells. Transmission delay can be reduced by transmitting ATM cells with low CLP(i.e., CLP=0) prior to others and by discarding cells with high CLP(i.e., CLP= 1). The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is suitable for delay sensitive real time VBR service as well as fast handoff by giving high CLP to less meaningful MPEG frames.

On ATM networks, ABR services are provided using the remained bandwidth after allocating CBR and VBR traffic. Realtime services such as transmitting audio or video data may be provided using CBR and VBR which have a constrained transmission delay, but in these cases, the communications bandwidth may be wasted. This paper proposes an efficient bandwidth allocation algorithm to transfer real-time data using ABR service. The proposed algorithm guarantees MCR and allocates bandwidth to each connection proportional to its MCR. The proposed algorithm divides the connections in two groups - a satisfied state group and a bottlenecked state group - and enhances bandwidth utilization by allowing the remained bandwidth after allocating the connections in the satisfied state to be allocated to the connections in the bottlenecked state. Our algorithm uses a Queue control function proposed by Ghani[5] to keep the Queue length within some boundary, which makes the transmission delay constant. We simulate and compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with that of the algorithms proposed by ATM Forum[1] and Kalampoukas[2].

A general goal of the AT%(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network is to support connect across various network. On ATM networks, ABR services are provided using the remained ban after allocation CBR and VBR traffic. Realtime services such as transmitting audio or video data may be provided using CBR ado VBR which have a constrained transmission delay, but in these cases, the communications bandwidth may be wasted. In this paper a simulation has been performed to compare and evaluate the performance between the ERICA(Explicit Rate Indicate Avoidance) and EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) switches which use Explicit Rate switch algorithm for ABR switch. The variation of the ACR at the source end system, the queue length, the utilization rate of the link bandwidth and the share fairness at the transient and steady states are used as the evaluation criteria for the simulation. As a result of simulation, ERICA algorithm switch was ten times long compared to ERPCA switch to achieve assigned fair share. so EPRCA switch is superior to ERICA about load response. For Fair share and stability, ERICA switch is excellent to EPRCA switch.

In digital broadcasting, services such as digital satellite TV, cable TV and digital terrestrial TV, several video programs are compressed by MPEG-2, and then simultaneously transmitted over a conventional CBR (Constant Bit Rate) broadcasting channel. In this paper, we propose a joint quality control scheme to be able to accurately control the relative picture quality among the video programs, which is achieved by simdt;,nL'Ously controlling the video encoders to generate the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compressed video streams. Our quality control scheme can prevent the video buffer overflow and underflow by total target bit allocation process, and also exactly control the relative picture quality in terms of PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) between some programs requiring higher picture quality and others by rate-distortion modification. Furthermore we present a rate-distortion estimation method for MPEG-2 video, which is base of our joint quality control, and verify its performance by experiments. The most attractive features of this estimation method are as follows: 1) computational complexity is low because main operation for the estimation is to calculate the histogram of OCT coefficients into quantizer; 2) estimation results are very accurate enough to be applied to the practical MPEG-2 video coding applications. Simulation results show that the proposed joint quality control scheme accurately controls the relative picture quality among the video progran1s transmitted over a single channel as well as provides more consistent and higher picture quality than independent coding scheme that encodes each program independently.
