Many periodic broadcasting schemes for near VoD systems are proposed. Recently non-uniform segmentation schemes have been used to develop periodic broadcasting techniques for near VoD. These techniques give significant reductions in start-up latency as compared with more conventional uniform segmentation. However, all of these schemes assume that the videos are CBR-encoded. Since a CBR-encoded video has a target average tate than an VBR encoding, there is potential to obtain further Performance Improvements by using VBR videos. Unfortunately, however, the studies concerning broadcasting with VBR video ate rare and the existing techniques have the problem of virtual loss. In this paper, we modify Skyscraper Broadcasting Scheme for broadcasting with VBR videos which is a representative non-uniform segmentation scheme lot CBR videos. A VBR video can be transmitted at constant bit rate (CBR) by using prefetching. With this idea we propose Modified Skyscraper Broadcasting Schemes for VBR videos and make performance evaluation by simulation. We show that our schemes have a better performance than Skyscraper Broadcasting Scheme for CBR videos.

In this paper, a channel access control algorithm and a dynamic slot allocation algorithm are proposed for rt_VBR services and ABR services in the wireless ATM networks. In the proposed algorithm, rt_VBR terminals that require real-time services transmit a reservation request packet by a RAS minislot. An rt_VBR terminal, which transmitted the reservation request packet, transmits the dynamic parameters by DPS minislot without contention. On the other hand, ABR terminals that have a non-real-time traffic burst transfer a reservation request packet with contention basis. Based on the received dynamic parameters, the base station scheduler allocates uplink data slots as well as DPS minislot into rt_VBR terminals.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive bandwidth allocation algorithm for the transmission of VBR video through ATM Networks. In order to evaluate the required bandwidth for the VBR video, the characteristics of the compressed VBR video generated by the two-layered coder are analyzed with variations in the number of GOP(N), quantizer scale(q), and the number of low-frequency DCT coefficients(.betha.). The two-layer coder which is used to separate from the number of DCT coefficients is designed to transmit the VBR video efficiently. The compressed data generated by the two-layer coder are splitted into the high priority and low priority cells. If congestion is occurred in ATM networks, the minimum image quality is maintained by the high priority cells. The required bandwidth for VBR video is estimated with a prediction algorithm using the scene anframe correlations as well as the statistical properties of the VBR video sources. Strong correlation among the adjacent slices in a frame represents by the scene correlation andstrong correlation among the frames is represented by the frame correlation. The performance of the bandwidth allocation scheme proposed is evaluated in terms of the bandwith utilization, cell loss rate, and SNR with variations in q, n, .betha.. Simulation rewsults shown that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional methods.

There are many current researches that are looking to improve the quality of HTTP adaptive streaming services. However, the existing schemes have a serious problem of QoE (Quality of Experience) degradation because few consider VBR video transmission. To cope with this problem, in this paper, we proposed a novel media quality adaptation scheme called CB-DASH (Content and Buffer-aware DASH). The proposed scheme controlled the video quality considering the VBR characteristics of video and the client's buffer state. Through the simulation, we proved that our scheme accomplished a more accurate estimated bandwidth than the conventional DASH and improved the QoE of streaming service.

ATM망은 망 내부의 큐잉 랜덤 지연에 의한 CDV의 발생으로 클럭복원의 문제를 안고 있다. 큐잉에 의한 지연은 여러 가지 파라메터에 의해 좌우되며 특히 망의 부하와 트래픽이 전송되는 교환기의 수에 의해 크게 좌우된다. CBR 트래픽의 경우 이를 해결하기 위해 SAR 헤더에 송신부의 클럭 정보를 담아 보내고 수신부에서는 이 정보를 바탕으로 송신부의 클럭을 복원하는 SRTS 기법을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 실시간성을 요하는 VBR 트래픽은 CBR과는 달리 대역폭의 가변적인 성질을 가지고 있으며 그 변화가 다양하여 SRTS 기법을 그대로 적용하기 곤란하다. VBR의 경우에 CBR 전송을 위한 SRTS 기법을 그대로 적용하면 주파수의 가변성으로 인해 망 클럭 주파수에 비해 매우 낮은 주파수의 경우에는 사이클이 상대적으로 많아 정보의 정확성이 떨어지게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위해 서비스 클럭의 주파수가 낮은 경우에는 망 기준 주파수를 낮게 하므로써 정확성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 또한, VBR 트래픽의 경우 AAL1에서는 SRTS의 필요성이 강조되지 않으나 단지 CDV를 제거할 방법이 요구되어진다. 따라서 AAL1의 SRTS를 CDV의 측정을 위한 메카니즘으로 바꾸는 것이 필요하며, 각 기반으로하여 Wavelet 변환을 이용한 VBR 트래픽의 클럭 복원방식을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 ATM망에서 VBR 영상 서비스를 위한 AAL 계층에 이용이 가능하다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 wavelet 변환 블록에서 출력되는 계수 값을 선택하여 전송함으로써 VBR 트래픽의 보다 다양한 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

Most of currently used videos have variable bit rate(VBR) characteristics. Since the display rate of VBR videos compared to CBR videos vary with time, it is not proper to configure resources of the VBR video server using the method proposed for the CBR video server. In this paper we propose an optimal resource configuration method for the VBR video server which is based on the probability model. The proposed method decides the amount of disk and memory, and the disk access cycle of the video server with the lowest hardware cost, while preserving the throughput of the video server. In addition, we show the usefulness of the method through the various experiments.

멀티미디어를 실시간으로 서비스하는 비디오 서버의 설계 시, 네크워크 가용공간, 버퍼 공간 및 디스크 전송률 등이 고려되어야 하며, 특히 버퍼 공간과 디스크 전송률을 동시게 고려하는 기법이 제시되었지만, VOD 서버에서는 보통 MPEG데이터가 VBR 형식으로 되어 있기 때문에 CBR로 모델링하면 시스템의 가용성이 떨어지게 된다. 또한 수용제어를 위한 버퍼 예약기법에서는 VBR 형태로 데이터를 모델링하는 기법들이 제시되었지만, 이 경우에도 디스크 전송률을 계산할 때는 CBR형식으로 가정하거나 아예 고려를 하지 않기 때문에 역시 시스템 자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 VBR 비디오 서버의 설계를 위하여 서버에서 처리되는 각 스트림들을 하드 실시간 태스크 모델로 모델링하고 실시간 태스크들을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 실시간 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 실시간 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 디스크 액세스의 승인제어, 디스크 스케쥴링, 버퍼 관리에 이용하므로서 연속성을 보장할 수 있는 효율적인 VBR 연속 미디어 서버를 설계할 수 있다. 비디오 서버의 성능은 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 분석하였다.

This paper proposes a MAC protocol for real-time VBR (rt-VBR) services in wireless ATM networks. The proposed protocol is characterized by a contention-based mechanism of the reservation request, a contention-free polling scheme for transferring the dynamic parameters, and a priority scheme of the slot allocation. The design objective of the proposed protocol is to guarantee the real-time constraint of rt-VBR traffic. The scheduling algorithm uses a priority scheme based on the maximum cell transfer delay parameter. The wireless terminal establishes an rt-VBR connection to the base station with a contention-based scheme. The base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot to the wireless terminal for transferring the residual lifetime and the number of requesting slots as the dynamic parameters. Based on the received dynamic parameters, the scheduler allocates the uplink slots to the wireless terminal with the most stringent delay requirement. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol can guarantee the delay constraint of rt-VBR services along with its cell loss rate significantly reduced.

This paper is to verify that 2-state MMPP Model conform to ATM VBR traffic characteristics by measuring and analyzing real-time VBR traffic in KT's ATM network. As a result, we validated the fact that real-time VBR traffic of ATM network cannot be apply to MMPP model and must be represented by previously general On-Off Model with characteristics as follows: arrival rate of On state (λ$_1$) is deterministic, arrival rate of Off state (λ$_2$) is zero, and two transition rate (T$_1$,T$_2$) is only random variable. As research results are to handle real traffic, these results can be used to all ATM network traffic model with traffic management function such as KT's ATM network.

GBFCM(DM), Gradient-based Fuzzy c-means with Divergence Measure, for efficient clustering of GPDF(Gaussian Probability Density Function) in MPEG VBR video data modeling is proposed in this paper. The proposed GBFCM(DM) is based on GBFCM( Gradient-based Fuzzy c-means) with the Divergence for its distance measure. In this paper, sets of real-time MPEG VBR Video traffic data are considered. Each of 12 frames MPEG VBR Video data are first transformed to 12-dimensional data for modeling and the transformed 12-dimensional data are Pass through the proposed GBFCM(DM) for classification. The GBFCM(DM) is compared with conventional FCM and GBFCM algorithms. The results show that the GBFCM(DM) gives 5∼15% improvement in False Alarm Rate over conventional algorithms such as FCM and GBFCM.
