For wireless channel monitoring, we adopt a cross-layered approach, where an access point (AP) periodically measures lower layers such as medium access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) transmission information (e.g., MAC layer loss rate) and then sends the monitored information to the streaming server application. The adaptive streaming server with the CLM scheme reacts more quickly and efficiently to the fluctuating wireless channel than the end-to-end application-layer monitoring (E2EM) scheme. The streaming server dynamically performs priority-based frame dropping to adjust the sending rate according to the measured wireless channel condition. For this purpose, the proposed streaming system nicely provides frame-based prioritized packetization by using a real-time stream parsing module. Various evaluation results over an IEEE 802.11a WLAN testbed are provided to verify the intended Quality of Service (QoS) adaptation capability. Experimental results showed that the proposed system can mitigate the quality degradation of video streaming due to the fluctuations of time-varying channel.展开更多

Such editing algorithms are presented. Based on an analysis of the structure of the MPEG-1/2 stream, and using parameters of the video, audio and the synchronization information, the video, audio and synchronization editing algorithms are provided. The characters of the algorithms are efficient, the quality loss of frames is low because it only decodes and codes part of the data; the editing algorithm is fast through use of some index files; synchronization editing is realized using the synchronization information, such as PTS, ESCR and other parameters.展开更多

However compressed videos are also extremely sensitive to packet loss which is inevitable in today's best effort IP network. Therefore we think accurate evaluation of packet loss impairment on compressed video is very important. In this work, we develop an analytic model to describe these impairments without the reference of the original video (NR) and propose an impairment metric based on the model, which takes into account both impairment length and impairment strength. To evaluate an impaired frame or video, we design a detection and evaluation algorithm (DE algorithm) to compute the above metric value. The DE algorithm has low computational complexity and is currently being implemented in the real-time monitoring module of our HDTV over IP system. The impairment metric and DE algorithm could also be used in adaptive system or be used to compare diffeient error concealment strategies.展开更多

The data in base layer is scheduled according to its importance in streaming play to guarantee the basic play of streaming. The data in enhancement layer is scheduled according to the characters of streaming data, including its position and amount in server peer set in a multiple tied way towards the data in enhancement layer. To cope with the layer jitter caused by the fluctuation of bandwidth, jitter prevent mechanism is used to adjust the highest layer dynamically during the process of data scheduling. Simulation results show that the E-LP2P can provide good quality of service（QoS） performance in terms of throughput, layer delivery ratio, server load and useless packet ratio.展开更多

This paper proposes a new architecture using only a single module to implement the post stage tasks of motion estimation, which has a single instruction stream over multiple data streams (SIMD). The new architecture is simple and more regular; capable of providing sufficient computational power and of adapting to the encoding flexibility required by the MPEG2 standard. Therefore, it is a more suitable architecture for the system on a chip. NEL Corporation (NTT Electronics, Japan) has integrated a circuit based on this architecture into the single MPEG2 MP@ML encoder chip, which uses the multiresolution telescopic search motion estimation algorithm. Using 0.25 μm CMOS, four metal layer technology, this circuit has 15.4 M gates with an area of about 29 mm 2. The operating clock frequency is 81 MHz.展开更多
