According to market needs of better quality of service (QoS) for realtime multimedia services over Internet, they haute been standardizing RSVP, Intserv, and DiffiServ. This paper combines the benefits of RSVP/IntServ with scalable video encoding. We Propose that more important bit stream is given more priority such that limited network resources are reserved for the stream Various prioritizing approaches are proposed and compared to normal approach by using Network Simulator. The calculated QoS parameters such as Packet loss rate are used to calculate degree of degradation in video quality.

This paper introduces ONLIS(Overlay Multicast Network for Live IPTV Service), a novel overlay multicast network optimized to deliver live broadcast IPTV stream. We analyzed IPTV reference model of ITU-T IPTV standardization group in terms of network and stream delivery from the source networks to the customer networks. Based on the analysis, we divide IPTV reference model into 3 networks; source network, core network and access network, ION(Infrastructure-based Overlay Multicast Network) is employed for the source and core networks and PON(P2P-based Overlay Multicast Network) is applied to the access networks. ION provides an efficient, reliable and stable stream distribution with very negligible delay while PON provides bandwidth efficient and cost effective streaming with a little tolerable delay. The most important challenge in live P2P streaming is to reduce end-to-end delay without sacrificing stream quality. Actually, there is always a trade-off between delay & stream quality in conventional live P2P streaming system. To solve this problem, we propose two approaches. Firstly, we propose DSPT(Distributed Streaming P2P Tree) which takes advantage of combinational overlay multicasting. In DSPT, a peer doesn't fully rely on SP(Supplying Peer) to get the live stream, but it cooperates with its local ANR(Access Network Relay) to reduce delay and improve stream quality. When RP detects bandwidth drop in SP, it immediately switches the connection from SP to ANR and continues to receive stream without any packet loss. DSPT uses distributed P2P streaming technique to let the peer share the stream to the extent of its available bandwidth. This means, if RP can't receive the whole stream from SP due to lack of SP's uploading bandwidth, then it receives only partial stream from SP and the rest from the ANR. The proposed distributed P2P streaming improves P2P networking efficiency.

To privide multimedia mobile communication services for the users in scattered locations, the application ATM cells efficiently in wireless communications, it is effective to the use TDMA method. However, it is necessary to have methods to compensate the CDV(cell delay variation) caused by the difference between TDMA-ATM and cell stream multiplexing of the users. This paper optimizes the cell control time(Tc) when VBR traffic inputs have MMPP by applying CDV characteristics of time stamp method, which has the most advantages among compensation methods of CDV. This paper suggests a cell stream multiplex method employing time stamp techniques to reduce CDV for wireless suggest method shows that CDV distribution and cell stream multiples rangd can be controlled to 1.2${\times}$Tc which reduced over the VBR service in the TDMA-WATM transmission. This paper also presents evaluation of the suggested architecture obtained simulation.

Biological stream environment assessment has been an essential trend of aquatic ecosystems among advanced countries, because the chemical water quality assessment has limitations that only represent temporal water environmental status. Benthic macroinvertebrates are the most popular bioindicator group useful to biological water quality assessment for a long time. In addition, a number of indices using benthic macroinvertebrates have recently been developed not only for water quality assessment but also for ecological health assessment. In this paper Korean Saprobic Index (KSI) based on Zelinka-Marvan's saprobic valency concept is developed by applying DIN 38410 in Germany. The KSI value was widely applicable to most Korean streams with the exception of sand-based large streams, for example main stream of Nakdong River. But as a result of non-linear regression analysis the correlation between KSI and $BOD_5$ concentration was high and KSI reflected water quality alteration for mid and long-term period. In spite of applicability of KSI, it should be supplemented and developed to make it strong by accumulating field data as well as to manage integrated water environment in general through continuous biomonitoring.

The MPEG Video Service of hilving il property of continuity and large cilPilcity needs lilrge network capilcity. Because most of users have a heterogeneous network environment, it's not efficient way that all users have same size of video data to provide them with real time video service. Therefore, for the pUl1Xlse of an efficient and appropriate utilization of network resources, it requires to develop and deploy a new scalable transmission technique in consideration of respective network environment and individual clients computing power. The purpose of this paper is to develop a technology that can adjust the amount of dilta transmitted as an M1'EG video stream according to its gi yen communication bandwidth, and a technique that can reflect dynamic bilndwidth while playing a video stream. For this purpose, we propose a TFS (Temporal-Fidelity Scaling) technique that splits the MPEG video stream into various substream according to picture type or resolution. Those methods proposed her can filcilitilte an effective use of network resources, and provide multimedia MPEG video services in real- time with respect to individual client computing environment

Stream water quantity is the most basic, fundamental and important element for stream water quality and for conservation of ecological environment. This study aims to analyze causes of changes in stream water quantity based on the percentage of impervious surface area (%ISA) in urban streams of Gyeonggi-do, and also to present a method to secure water quantity of urban streams in Gyeonggi-do and data to be applied to River Management Policy. For this purpose, the Anyangcheon watershed, the Tancheon watershed, and the Osancheon watershed were selected as samples of the urban streams. In addition, the stream water quantity and the changes in stream water quality which were based on the amount of ISA, and methods to directly and indirectly secure stream water quantity were investigated. The results are as follows. The amounts of ISA of the Anyangcheon watershed, of the Tancheon watershed, and of the Osancheon watershed showed a 5.32%, 6.32%, and 7.22% increase, respectively, from 2014 which was approximately 10 years ago. The runoff coefficient generally increased as the amount of ISA was increased. Water reuse quantity of stream in the Tanchon watershed had a positive effect on securing stream water quantity, but both in the Anyangcheon watershed and in the Osancheon watershed, it did not have a positive effect on that. However, water reuse quantity of stream improved the water quality of each stream.

This paper presents the mobile IPTV system for the transmission of FGS-encoded video stream over WiMAX network. The proposed system is implemented to provide more subscribers with an improved mobile IPTV service considering the scarce resource constraint. The proposed system pursues an efficient tradeoff between the number of subscribers that receive the enhancement layer stream and their IPTV service quality. In the proposed system, some parts of the enhancement layer are transmitted with the modulation scheme and the coding rate adaptive to wireless link states of subscribers. Finally, experimental results are provided to show the performance of proposed mobile IPTV system.

In ubiquitous computing environment, a user can access their personalized services at anytime, anywhere, through any possible mobile or fixed terminals in a secure way. If the user wants to move to a different location, they need to stop the video play at the current location and makes a new request at the new location. As well, the user needs to manually search for the last frame to be seen at the previous location. In this paper, we proposed an implementation of multimedia contents streaming service mobility by user's location tracking. User can play video seamlessly while moving from one machine to another along the user's moving trail.

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.

The WiMedia alliance has specified a distributed medium access control (WiMedia MAC) protocol based on ultra wideband (UWB) for high data rate WPANs (HR-WPANs). The merits of WiMedia MAC such as distributed nature and high data rate make it a favorite candidate in HR-WPAN. Although QoS parameters such as the range of service rates are provided to a traffic stream, the WiMedia MAC is not able to use the QoS parameters and to determine or adjust a service rate using the QoS parameters for the traffic stream. In this paper, we propose a fair and adaptive resource allocation method that allocates time slots to isochronous streams according to QoS parameters and the current traffic load condition in a fully distributed manner. Although the traffic load condition changes, each device independently recognizes the changes and calculates fair and maximum allowable service rates for traffic streams. From the numerical and simulation results, it is proved that the proposed method achieves high capacity of traffic streams and fair QoS provisioning under various traffic load condition.
