Recently, due to the prevalence of various mobile devices and wireless broadband networks, there has been a significant increase in interest and demand for multimedia streaming services such as the mobile IPTV. In such a wireless broadband network, transmitting a continuous stream of multimedia data is difficult to achieve due to mobile stations (MSs) movement. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia video streaming applications requires the server and/or client to be network-aware and adaptive. Therefore, in order to deploy a mobile IPTV service in wireless broadband networks, offering users efficient wireless resource utilization and seamlessly offering user perceived QoS are important issues. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive streaming scheme, called MARC (Mobile-aware Adaptive Rate Control), which adjusts the quality of bit-stream and transmission rate of video streaming based on the wireless channel status and network status. The proposed scheme can control the rate of multimedia streaming to be suitable for the wireless channel status by using awareness information of the wireless channel quality and the mobile station location. The proposed scheme can provide a seamless multimedia playback service in wireless broadband networks in addition to improving the QoS of multimedia streaming services. The proposed MARC scheme alleviates the discontinuity of multimedia playback and allocates a suitable client buffer to the wireless broadband network. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

음성, 영상, 데이터와 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스는 많은 대역폭과 실시간 처리가 필요하기 때문에 데이터의 지연과 손실에 민감한 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 네트워크의 흔잡 상황과 무선채널의 에러로 인한 데이터의 손실이 발생하여 사용자에게 QoS를 보장해주지 못하게 된다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 멀티미디어 스트리밍 흐름에 속한 데이터 패킷의 중요도에 따른 차등적인 서비스로 멀티미디어의 품질을 개선하는 알고리즘의 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 무선손실이 발생했을 경우 IWFQ 알고리즘과 같이 동작하다가 멀티미디어 플로의 재생시간이 촉박할 때 우선적으로 채널을 할당하는 WMS-1(Wireless Multimedia Scheduling-1) 알고리즘과, 멀티미디어 플로에 우선권을 부여하고 프레임 유형에 따라 우선순위가 높은 프레임을 갖는 플로를 먼저 서비스하는 WMS-2(Wireless Multimedia Scheduling-2) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘과의 비교를 통해 제안한 알고리즘의 멀티미디어 서비스 품질이 개선되었고 기지국의 큐 사이즈가 클수록 전체 서비스의 품질과 fairness가 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Wireless networks composed of multimedia-enabled resource-constrained sensor nodes have enriched a large set of monitoring sensing applications. In such communication scenario, however, new challenges in data transmission and energy-efficiency have arisen due to the stringent requirements of those sensor networks. Generally, congested nodes may deplete the energy of the active congested paths toward the sink and incur in undesired communication delay and packet dropping, while bit errors during transmission may negatively impact the end-to-end quality of the received data. Many approaches have been proposed to face congestion and provide reliable communications in wireless sensor networks, usually employing some transport protocol that address one or both of these issues. Nevertheless, due to the unique characteristics of multimedia-based wireless sensor networks, notably minimum bandwidth demand, bounded delay and reduced energy consumption requirement, communication protocols from traditional scalar wireless sensor networks are not suitable for multimedia sensor networks. In the last decade, such requirements have fostered research in adapting existing protocols or proposing new protocols from scratch. We survey the state of the art of transport protocols for wireless multimedia sensor networks, addressing the recent developments and proposed strategies for congestion control and loss recovery. Future research directions are also discussed, outlining the remaining challenges and promising investigation areas.

In this paper, a wireless multimedia service interacting with key input of a phone number is Presented. In the conventional handset, when the key button is pressed, numbers are displayed or the embedded sound is played. Also, the contents are fixed and cannot be changed. In this paper, we propose a wireless multimedia service playing multimedia contents in accordance with the key input of a phone number. The contents can be downloaded from the wireless internet server. To implement this service, file format, fast codec and download structure are proposed. Using the presented structure, this service is being provided by a telecommunication company in Korea. Various applications based on this service are being expected.

멀티미디어 Ad Hoc 무선망은 매우 매력적인 화두이며 이를 통하여 멀티미디어 서비스를 고정된 기간망이 없이도 이동중인 최종 사용자들에게 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 특수한 설계상의 제약점으로 인하여 Ad Hoc 무선망에서 자원을 공정하게 분배하면서도 지연시간을 보장하는 것은 단순한 문제가 아니다. 본 논문에서는 분산적인 방법으로 지연시간 보장 공정 큐잉(DGFQ, Delay Guaranteed Fair Queueing) 방식을 멀티미디어 Ad Hoc 무선망에서 구현하고 성능 평가의 결과를 통하여 DGFQ 방식이 멀티미디어 무선망 환경에서도 제한된 지연시간을 보장할 수 있음을 보였다.

Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for multimedia data over wireless sensor networks for monitoring applications that utilize sensor nodes to collect multimedia data, including sound and video. However, the multimedia streams generate a very large amount of data. When data transmission schemes for traditional wireless sensor networks are applied in wireless multimedia sensor networks, the network lifetime significantly decreases due to the excessive energy consumption of specific nodes. In this paper, we propose a data compression scheme that implements the Chinese remainder theorem to a wireless multimedia sensor network. The proposed scheme uses the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) to compress and split multimedia data, and it then transmits the bit-pattern packets of the remainder to the base station. As a result, the amount of multimedia data that is transmitted is reduced. The superiority of our proposed scheme is demonstrated by comparing its performance to that of an existing scheme. The results of our experiment indicate that our proposed scheme significantly increased the compression ratio and reduced the compression operation in comparison to those of existing compression schemes.

In order to transmit various types of multimedia data (i.e. voice, video, and data) over a wireless channel, the coding and modulation scheme needs to be flexible and capable of providing a variable quality of service, data rates, and latency. In this paper, we study a mobile multimedia COMA network combined with the concatenated Reed-Solomon/Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution code (RS/RCPC). Also, this paper propose the combination of concatenated RS/RCPC coder and COMA RAKE receiver for multimedia COMA traffic which can be sent over wireless channels. From the results, using a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel model, it is shown that concatenated RS/RCPC coder at the wireless physical layer can be effective in providing reliable wireless multimedia CDMA network. And the proposed scheme that combine concatenated RS/RCPC coder and CDMA RAKE receiver provides a significant gain in the BER performance over multi-user interference and multipath frequency selective fading channels.

The recent advance in wireless network technologies has enabled the streaming media service on the mobile devices such as PDAs and cellular phones. Since the wireless network has low bandwidth channels and mobile devices are actually composed of limited hardware specifications, the transcoding technology is needed to adapt streaming media to given mobile devices. Futhermore owing to the diversity of bandwidth in the wireless network by reason of mobile users' movements and environments, it is difficult to provide stable QoS. In this paper, the autonomic multimedia transcoding system is proposed in order for users to provide network adaptive QoS. Our proposed system is based on the estimation of available bandwidth in wireless network for seamless multimedia streaming service. The proposed system is designed and implemented for various mobile clients. In experiments, we evaluate its seamless multimedia streaming and the adaptation transcoding bit rate according to the changes of bandwidth in wireless network.

In this paper, a cross-layer resource allocation mechanism is proposed for wireless multimedia service. In particular, a game theory based on quality of service (QoS) for multimedia users is introduced to deal with the fairness of network resource allocation in wireless networks. Moreover, the channel states of wireless users are additionally regarded under the cross-layer design in WiMAX environment. In details, the bargaining solution is adopted to discover the efficient and fair resource allocation strategy for multimedia service in considering QoS in the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the channel states in the carrier-to-interface ratio (CINR). The proposed mechanism is illustrated and evaluated by simulation results of transmitting video sequences in WiMAX environment.
