VoD(Video on Demand) 시스템은 일반적으로 VoD 서버 및 파일 저장장소 등의 제한된 자원 하에서 운용된다. 따라서 VoD 시스템의 QoS(Quality of Service)는 VoD 서버 및 파일 저장장소가 제한된 운용 자원 하에서 클라이언트들에게 안정된 스트림 서비스를 제공함으로써 보장할 수 있다. 즉, VoD 시스템의 QoS를 보장하기 위해서는 클라이언트들의 스트림 서비스 요청이 제한된 운용자원 때문에 VoD 서버로부터 수신이 거부되거나 또는 파일 저장장소로부터 필요한 데이터 서비스를 받는 도중에 연결이 끊어져 손실되는 장애확률(blocking probability)을 최소화해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 VoD 시스템의 QoS 보장에 활용하기 위하여 VoD 시스템의 장애확률을 추정하는 모델을 개발한다.

최근 컴퓨터와 제반 기술들의 눈부신 발달로 인해 대용량의 멀티미디어 데이터를 다루는 서비스들이 많이 등장하고 있다. 주문형 비디오 서비스(Video on Demand)가 가장 대표적인 예라고 할 수 있으며, 이를 구현하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 개발되어 있는 VoD 시스템에 관하여 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 PASS(Parallel and Scalable Server) VoD 시스템을 제안한다. PASS VoD 시스템은 병렬 비디오 서버로서 SAN(System Area Network)로 연결된 independent proxy 구조와 비슷한 구조를 가지는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 PASS VoD 시스템에 대하여 설명하고 PASS VoD 시스템이 scalable 함을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

This raper discusses improvement of MCVoD System by changing the channel allocation of VoD Server. And we analyzed performance of MCVoD System. Using simulation, we compare MCVoD with another VoD server using same channel allocation. In case of average channel allocation, MCVoD System using interchange agent, represents three times better than previous VoD server.

This study points out the problems of absence of the legislation for standard regulation on Video on Demand(VoD) advertisement which grows so fast lately, for this it recommends making legal references, which have the definition of non-linear broadcasting & VoD advertisement and VoD advertisement standard regulation in the merged Broadcasting Act, and adopting co-regulation system. Pay TV operators providing VoD service have the opportunities to make money as subscribers uses it increasingly. In case of linear service, the Broadcasting Act regulates the advertisement strictly, but not the VoD ads. The reason why is that Korean legislation including the Broadcasting Act does not have legal reference to regulate it, instead of that, it rely on the self-regulation system which is operated by pay-tv players who provide the VoD ads. So, there is the limitation to protect the minors such as children and youth from the harmful VoD ads, to be invulnerable for advertisers to influence to advertising agents, and to ensure the regulatory effectiveness under player-centric self-regulatory regime. In this context, this study analyses the how to regulate VoD ads standard with a three-pronged approach. First, it analyses the VoD ads regulation system in overseas countries, UK, Canada, EU and Ireland. Each country has the legal reference to regulate it in the Broadcasting Act or lower statures and adopts the co-regulatory regime the NRA and the 3rd entity operate together. Second, it reviews the objectives and scope of VoD ads standard. This study recommends that the objective of it is users protection and the scope of it is standard regulation not commercial practice. Third, this study researches how to legislate for regulation of VoD ads standard. Considering VoD service's characteristics(non-linear service) and legal position of Ads agency(i.e. pay tv operators), it suggest that legal reference will be in the integrated Broadcasting bill, which is the general law, not individual. If it is available to regulate VoD ads standard with co-regulatory regime, it expects the enhancement of user protection from the harmful VoD ads and make up sustainability of the pay-tv players' self-regulation.

The QoS(Quality of Service) of VoD(Video on Demand) systems can be improved by reducing the faults that the stream service request from clients is rejected by the VoD server or lost during the service. This paper proposes a model of Dynamic Workload Balancer that can adjust the workload dynamically through the periodical monitoring of the VoD system, and so increase the throughput. The proposed model runs independently from the VoD system by adopting the agent concept. The model comprises the agency part interfacing the VoD system and the intelligence part reasoning or teaming the facts required for the adjustment of workload. An experiment of implementing a simulator was conducted to see whether or not application of the proposed model to VoD system is effective. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the throughput was relatively increased when the proposed model was applied compared to existing means.

In this study, a configuration method for a cloud technology based VoD system through two different scenarios is proposed. The first scenario virtualizes DMC, content storages for each SO, and stream servers in the conventional VoD system in order to efficiently use the additionally required storage capacity and stream server. In the second scenario, it is proposed that cable broadcasting systems including VoD systems are to be changed as cloud in which the subscriber STB should have minimum programs and storage regions to connect networks, and the operating system and middle ware presented in the existing subscriber STB is moved to the cloud data center. In addition, the comparison of the application of the cloud technology for the cost of changing the existing system to STB and the cost of establishing a cloud VoD system is performed in order to analyze the cost reduction in broadcasting businesses based on the establishment of VoD systems.

A huge storage and broad bandwidth are required to provide subscribers with VoD services. Hence, there is a huge amount of cost in establishing networks for VoD services. To determine how to reduce the cost, a number of studies involving such as distributed server systems, multicasting, program caching, stream sharing, are currently in progress. In this paper, a request criterion for multicast service and the ratio of required bandwidth for unicast to multicast are generated. The effect of multicast service on network bandwidth, server bandwidth, and buffer size was analyzed and validated through computer simulation. The results of this study could be applied to efficient designing networks for VoD services.

VoD(Video-on-Demand) servers have to provide timely processing guarantees for continuous media and reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements for continuous media. The compression techniques make the bit rates of compressed video data significantly variable from frame to frame. A VoD system should be able to provide the client with interactive operations such as fast forward and fast rewind in addition to normal playback of movie. However, interactive operations require additional resources such as storage space, disk bandwidth, memory and network bandwidth. In a stored video application such as VoD system, it is possible that a priori disk access patterns can be used to reserve the system resources in advance. In addition, clients of VoD server spend most of their time in playback mode and the period of time spent in interactive mode is relatively small. In this paper, I present the new buffer management scheme that provides efficient support for interactive operations in a VoD server using variable bit rate continuous media. Simulation results show that our strategy achieves 34% increase of the number of accepted clients over the LRU strategy.

VoD (Video-on-Demand) 서비스는 가입자가 원하는 컨텐츠를 실시간으로 전송하는 서비스의 형태이다. 오늘날은 방대한 양의 멀티미디어 데이터를 효율적으로 압축하고 보다 빠르게 전송할 수 있는 시스템의 발달이 가속화되고 있고 이는 VoD 서비스의 증가로도 이어지고 있다. 그러므로 가입자가 원하는 컨텐츠를 보다 효과적으로 제공할 수 있는 VoD 서비스의 방법을 찾는 것은 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 NVoD (Near-VoD) 서비스 또는 TVoD (True-VoD) 서비스 만을 제공함으로서 생길 수 있는 단점을 없애고 장점만 살릴 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 이는 기존의 가입자단에 Buffer를 제공하여 NVoD를 TVoD화 함으로서 가능하게 하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 필요한 버퍼의 크기를 제시하고 전체적인 알고리즘을 제시하여 이를 구체화 하였다.

Recently IPTV service is penetrating to the ordinary home users very swiftly. One of the first phase of IPTV service is considered to be VoD, and a nationwide availability of the VoD service imposes tremendous pressure to the network resource due to its requirements for the broad bandwidth, the inherent nature of unicast technology, and the large scalability, etc. This work suggests a novel and practical method to the design of network resource for the VoD service. Especially, we explore the distributed content storage problem that takes into account the popularity of the video contents and its corresponding link dimensioning problem that takes into account the grade of service for the flow level quality of service about the VoD service. By assuming a realistic topology for the nationwide IP backbone network of Korea, which is a typical tree topology, we suggest an analytic method for the design of VoD service.
