In this work we investigate the benefit of multicast in the delivery of video data over the mobile MBMS network. In order to quantify the benefit in a practical aspect, this work proposes an analytic framework that employs a combined statistical and queuing model, where a queuing model represents the behavior of user's access to the video service and the statistical model captures the popularity of the video contents, via which we draw out a more realistic intuition for the expected benefit from multicast. Finally, we present results of numerical experiment that illustrates the validity of the proposed work.

Adaptive hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) streaming has become a new trend to support adaptivity in video delivery. An HTTP streaming client needs to estimate exactly resource availability and resource demand. In this paper, we focus on the most important resource which is bandwidth. A new and general formulation for throughput estimation is presented taking into account previous values of instant throughput and round trip time. Besides, we introduce for the first time the use of bitrate estimation in HTTP streaming. The experiments show that our approach can effectively cope with drastic changes in connection throughput and video bitrate.

In the modern times, video media area is dramatically developing and growing. The motion graphic that is one of video presentation technique as an effective communication way between sender and receiver is beginning to make its appearance. The motion graphic provides the clearance of visual information to deliver it more easily and accurately and improves the effect of communication to increase the effect of image and information delivery. In this research, the writer wants to examine the production method of motion graphic to improve convenience and efficiency of communication to the better direction for production process by researching and analyzing the title design and its structure having short and significant information delivery and strong visual presentation function.

This paper implements MOD system using multicast delivery. Conventional system provide server-based system in multicast delivery but implemented system provides on-demand client-based multicast system. The scheduler aggregates clients' request and it generate multcast group addresses and port numbers according to requested video items and service request time. Then it transmits immediately multicast address to MOD server and client who request service. And then MOD server transmits requested streams with a multicast group address and the client joins the group automatically. The scheduler assigns the same multicast group address when other clients request an identical video within the same scheduling duration. The system can reduce load of server and support many clients at the same time.

In this study, we design an applicable model enabling internet protocol television (IPTV) service providers to use a virtual network (VN) for IPTV service delivery. The model addresses the guaranteed service delivery, cost effectiveness, flexible control, and scalable network infrastructure limitations of backbone or IP overlay-based content networks. There are two major challenges involved in this research: i) The design of an efficient, cost effective, and reliable virtual network topology (VNT) for IPTV service delivery and the handling of a VN allocation failure by infrastructure providers (InPs) and ii) the proper approach to reduce the cost of VNT recontruction and reallocation caused by VNT allocation failure. Therefore, in this study, we design a more reliable virtual network topology for solving a single virtual node, virtual link, or video server failure. We develop a novel optimization objective and an efficient VN construction algorithm for building the proposed topology. In addition, we address the VN allocation failure problem by proposing VNT decomposition and reconstruction algorithms. Various simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed VNT, as well as that of the associated construction, decomposition, and reconstruction algorithms in terms of reliability and efficiency. The simulation results are compared with the findings of existing works, and an improvement in performance is observed.

This paper presents implementation of client-based VOD service using multicast delivery, Conventional system provide server-based system in multicast delivery but implemented system provides on-demand client-based multicast system. The Multicast Agent Scheduler aggregates clients' request and it generate multicast group addresses and port numbers according to requested video items and service request time. Then it transmits immediately multicast address to VOD server and client who request service. And then VOD server transmits requested streams with a multicast group address and the client joins the group automatically. The Multicast Agent Scheduler assigns the same multicast group address when other clients request an identical video within the same scheduling duration. The proposed system can reduce load of server and support many clients at the same time and applies it to WMT(window media technology) of Microsoft.

There are increasing needs to deliver the multimedia streaming over heterogeneous networks. When considering network environments and equipment accessed by user, delivery of video streaming must be scalable. There are many kinds of scalable video coding: spatial, temporal, SNR, and hybrid. The SNR scalable and spatial resolution, but different SNR quality with respect to layers. The 1-layer SNR scalable encoder produces SNR scalable video streams with ease. But, there is drift problem. Modified 1-layer approach does not have this problem but coding inefficiency, and is not MPEG-compliant. The present MPEG-compliant 2-layer encoder comes out to reduce coding rate. But it still use only base layer to encode whole layer. In this paper, we propose adaptive MPEG-compliant 2-layer encoder. Using linear combination algorithm, encoder use 1 motion vector to encode the sequences efficiently. By dong this, we can achieve the coding efficiency of SNR scalable coding.

Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques have been adopted to overcome packet losses and to improve the quality of video delivery. The efficiency of the FEC has been significantly compromised, however, due to the characteristics of the wireless channel such as burst packet loss, channel fluctuation and lack of Quality of Service (QoS) support. We propose herein an Adaptive Cross-layer FEC mechanism (ACFEC) to enhance the quality of video streaming over 802.11 WLANs. Under the conventional approaches, FEC functions are implemented on the application layer, and required feedback information to calculate redundancy rates. Our proposed ACFEC mechanism, however, leverages the functionalities of different network layers. The Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) function on the Media Access Control (MAC) layer can detect packet losses. Through cooperation with the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the redundancy rates are adaptively controlled based on the packet loss information. The experiment results demonstrate that the ACFEC mechanism is able to adaptively adjust and control the redundancy rates and, thereby, to overcome both of temporary and persistent channel fluctuations. Consequently, the proposed mechanism, under various network conditions, performs better in recovery than the conventional methods, while generating a much less volume of redundant traffic.

Web proxy caching provides an effective way to reduce access latency and bandwidth requirement. In particular, prefix caching is considered as an alternative for improving video delivery over wide area networks because video objects are usually too large to be cached in their entirety. Nevertheless, many studies have pointed that the user-perceived latency is often not dominated by object transmission time, but rather by setup process such as TCP connection time that precedes it. We propose pre-connecting techniques and show that the techniques can be used efficiently in TCP splicing. Our analysis shows the pre-connection significantly reduces start-up latency and TCP connection time in simple analytical model. The deployment of the proposed pre-connection does not require protocol modification or the cooperation of other entities.

This paper presents an overlay video multicast system over the Internet. The proposed system consists of two parts, i.e. overlay multicast tree suitable for the real-time video delivery and H.263+ rate control adaptive to overlay multicast tree. Overlay multicast tree is constructed to minimize the average time delay of members, and H.263+ rate control pursues a tradeoff between spatial and temporal qualities to enhance the human visual perceptual quality. Two systems are integrated and tested over the real Internet. And experimental results are provided to show the performance of the proposed system.
