Abstract

In this paper, we propose a private multimedia caching scheme based on wireless local area network (WLAN) to improve the quality of service for high capacity and high quality multimedia streaming services which are recently increasing and to reduce the traffic load of core networks. The proposed caching scheme stores multimedia in the storage device mounted on WLAN APs and provides streaming services on its own without Internet connection in accordance with the request from clients. We have implemented a test network based on real commercial networks and measured the performance of the proposed caching scheme in terms of frames per second (FPS) and buffering time. According to the performance measurement results, the proposed caching scheme can reduce the average buffering time by 73.3% compared to the conventional streaming scheme. In addition, the proposed caching scheme can also improve the average FPS by 71.3% compared to the conventional streaming scheme.

본 논문에서는 최근 급격히 증가하고 있는 대용량 고화질 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스의 품질을 개선하고 코어 네트워크의 트래픽 부담을 경감시킬 수 있는 무선 근거리 네트워크 (wireless local area network: WLAN) 기반의 캐싱 기법을 제안하다. 제안하는 캐싱 방식은 WLAN용 AP에 탑재된 저장 장치에 멀티미디어를 저장한 후 클라이언트의 스트리밍 요청에 따라 인터넷망과의 연결 없이 독자적인 스트리밍 서비스를 제공한다. 실제 상용망을 기반으로 시험망을 구축하여 초당 프레임수와 버퍼링 시간 관점에서 제안 방식의 성능을 측정하였다. 성능 분석 결과에 따르면, 제안하는 캐싱 방식은 기존의 스트리밍 방식 대비 평균 버퍼링 시간을 73.3% 감소시킬 수 있으며, 평균 FPS를 약 71.3% 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
