Digital broadcasting technology has developed focusing on multi-channel/multi-media, high-definition quality, and mobility-support. Recently, there has been a clear trend toward bidirectional service with the convergence between broadcasting and communication. The broadcasting viewer is no longer simply a passive receptor but has also become an information generator. Currently, the digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) specifications are the major standard for portable digital broadcasting and have been establishing the overall guidelines for bidirectional service using the MPEG-4 system. While detailed specifications for DMB systems are not well-established for bidirectional service yet, they share the basic concepts underlying the European Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system. This paper develops key scenarios for bidirectional service in DMB, describes the signal transaction of broadcasting and return channels, and demonstrates typical scenarios using binary format for scenes (BIFS) in the MPEG-4 system.

Design and Implementation of a Network-Adaptive Mechanism for HTTP Video Streaming

김요한,신지태,박지호 한국전자통신연구원 2013 ETRI Journal Vol.35 No.1

This paper proposes a network-adaptive mechanism for HTTP-based video streaming over wireless/mobile networks. To provide adaptive video streaming over wireless/mobile networks, the proposed mechanism consists of a throughput estimation scheme in the time-variant wireless network environment and a video rate selection algorithm used to increase the streaming quality. The adaptive video streaming system with proposed modules is implemented using an open source multimedia framework and is validated over emulated wireless/mobile networks. The emulator helps to model and emulate network conditions based on data collected from actual experiments. The experiment results show that the proposed mechanism provides higher video quality than the existing system provides and a rate of video streaming almost void of freezing.

CDMA 무선망상의 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 QoS 제공 호 제어 기법

鄭龍燦,신지태,鄭世征 대한전자공학회 2003 電子工學會論文誌-TC (Telecommunications) Vol.40 No.12

Diverse multimedia services will be deployed at hand on 3G-and-beyond multi-service CDMA systems in order to satisfy different quality of service (QoS) according to traffic types. In order to use appropriate resources efficiently, the call admission control (CAC) as a major resource control mechanism needs to be used to take care of efficient utilization of limited resources. In this paper, we propose a QoS-aware CAC (QCAC) that is enabled to provide service fairness and service differentiation in accordance with priority order and that applies the different thresholds in received power considering different QoS requirements such as different bit error rates (BER) when adopting total received power as the cell load estimation. The proposed QCAC calculates the different thresholds of the different traffic types based on different required BER, applies it for admission policy, and can get service fairness and differentiation in terms of call dropping probability as a main performance metric. The QCAC is aware of the QoS requirement per traffic type and allows admission discrimination according to traffic types in order to minimize the probability of QoS violation. Also the CAC needs to consider the resource allocation schemes such as complete sharing (CS), complete partitioning (CP), and priority sharing (PS) in order to provide fairness and service differentiation among traffic types. Among them, PS is closely related with the proposed QCAC having differently calculated threshold per each traffic type accordingto traffic priority orders. 3G와 그 이후의 CDMA무선망 시스템에서는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 위해 서로 다른 요구조건을 가지는 몇 개의 트래픽 클래스로 정의되고 분류되어 적용될 예정이다. CDMA시스템 상의 한정되고 가변적인 자원들을 효과적으로 사용하기 위해 서로 다른 트래픽 클래스의 QoS (Quality of Service) 요구조건을 고려하여 주어진 자원들을 적절하게 분배할 필요가 있으며, 이 자원 조절의 중요한 메커니즘으로 대표적인 것 중의 하나가 호 허가 제어( Call Admission Control : CAC )라고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 트래픽 클래스별 서로 다른 요구(예: 비트 오차율)들을 고려하여, 이를 트래픽 클래스 별로 호제어에 사용하는 수신전력 임계치(threshold)에 반영하여 서비스 공평성(fairness)과 트래픽별 우선순위에 따른 서비스 차별화(differentiation)를 제공할 수 있는QCAC(QoS-aware CAC)를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 QCAC는 CDMA 시스템에서 트래픽 클래스별로 성능평가 척도로 호의 거절확률 측면에서 서비스 공평성과 서비스 차별화를 위해 서로 다른 적절한 수신전력 임계치(threshold)를 계산하는 방법을 적용한다. 또한 대표적 자원 할당 기법인 CS(complete sharing), CP(complete partitioning), PS(priority sharing)와 연관시켜 설명하고, 그 중에서 PS는 각각의 트래픽의 종류별로 우선순위를 고려하여 계산한 서로 다른 임계치를 CAC에 적용한 것과 연관성이 있고, 이 계산된 임계치를 QCAC에서 적용하여 호제어를 함으로써 서비스 공평성과 차별화를 보여줄 수 있다.

FedGCD: Federated Learning Algorithm with GNN based Community Detection for Heterogeneous Data

신우석,신지태 한국인터넷정보학회 2023 인터넷정보학회논문지 Vol.24 No.6

Federated learning (FL) is a ground breaking machine learning paradigm that allow smultiple participants to collaboratively train models in a cloud environment, all while maintaining the privacy of their raw data. This approach is in valuable in applications involving sensitive or geographically distributed data. However, one of the challenges in FL is dealing with heterogeneous and non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data across participants, which can result in suboptimal model performance compared to traditionalmachine learning methods. To tackle this, we introduce FedGCD, a novel FL algorithm that employs Graph Neural Network (GNN)-based community detection to enhance model convergence in federated settings. In our experiments, FedGCD consistently outperformed existing FL algorithms in various scenarios: for instance, in a non-IID environment, it achieved an accuracy of 0.9113, a precision of 0.8798,and an F1-Score of 0.8972. In a semi-IID setting, it demonstrated the highest accuracy at 0.9315 and an impressive F1-Score of 0.9312. We also introduce a new metric, nonIIDness, to quantitatively measure the degree of data heterogeneity. Our results indicate that FedGCD not only addresses the challenges of data heterogeneity and non-IIDness but also sets new benchmarks for FL algorithms. The community detection approach adopted in FedGCD has broader implications, suggesting that it could be adapted for other distributed machine learning scenarios, thereby improving model performance and convergence across a range of applications.

QoS 서비스 모델에서의 비디오 서비스의 효과적 적용 기법

鄭俊浩,徐德榮,辛志太,石周明,李圭晧 대한전자공학회 2002 電子工學會論文誌-SP (Signal processing) Vol.39 No.11

현재 단대단(End-to-End) 비디오 서비스의 질을 높이기 위해 많은 연구가 각 계층별로 진행되고 있다. 전송계층에서의 오류 제어(Error Control), 네트워크계층에서의 QoS (Quality of Service)모델, 표현 및 응용계층에서의 오류 강인성(Error resilience)/오류 은닉(Error concealment) 등이 연구 개발되고 있다. 그러나 계층 간의 연관성이 높은 부분에서의 통합을 통한 성능향상에 관한 연구는 그 필요성과 효율에 비해 아직도 미흡하다. 본 논문은 QoS 서비스 모델하에서의 적응적 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 적용 및 우선순위에 따른 비디오패킷(VP ,VideoPacket)을 통하여 효율적인 계층화 비디오 스트리밍을 단대단 QoS성능의 향상에 관점을 맞추어 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 최소 화질 보장과 같은 효율에서 보다 적은 가격에서의 서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 통합형 서비스(IntServ, IS, Integrated Service) 의 자원예약을 사용하는 방법과 높은 가격의 자원 예약을 사용하지 않는 차별화 서비스(DiffServ, DS, Differentiated Service)를 적용했으며 이에 보장형 서비스의 특징을 공통을 가지기 위해 계층화 FEC를 적용하였으며 적절한 가격의 조절을 위하여 비디오패킷을 통한 데이터 분할을 적용하였다. 본 논문은 또한 최종 사용자의 만족도를 PSNR(Picture Signal to Noise Ration)과 PSNR에서 표현하지 못하는 부분의 평가를 위해 손상프레임율(DFR, Damaged Frame Ratio)과 오류프레임율(EFR,Error Frame Ratio)을 제안 이를 통해 평가하고자 한다. 제안하는 방식의 실험 결과는 비디오 코딩계층과 전송 계층, 네트워크 계층의 결합된 성능이며 이는 또한 화질의 개선뿐만 아니라 사용자의 가격문제에 대하여서도 비교 분석하였다. In the past, enhancement techniques for the end-to-end quality of a networked application were studied by looking at each individual layer. Examples of such techniques include the error resilience/concealment methods in the application layer, the FEC/ARQ in the transport layer, and the Quality of Service (QoS) techniques in the network layers. However, an integrated approach that would look across all related layers had yet to be investigated. This paper proposes an approach that combines priority-aware video packetization, adaptively used layered FEC, and QoS controlled networks such as IntServ and DiffServ in order to provide an efficient end-to-end quality in layered streaming video. The combination is more efficient in terms of a simple network price mechanism, that is, in getting the best end-to-end quality under a given total cost constraint. Our proposed approach in DiffServ with video packet (VP) data-splitting and layered FEC guarantees minimal service quality in a scalable and cost effective manner without introducing resource reservation. For video, we also propose performance metrics such as Damaged/Error frame ratio (DFR, CFR). These provide objective metrics like PSNR as well as a measurement for subjective perceptions. Our approach, which combines related layers such as video coding, transport, and network, has yielded results that have proven to be more cost-effective and practical than the supporting network QoS.

Multi-Objective Handover in LTE Macro/Femto-Cell Networks

Abhishek Roy,신지태,나브라티색서나 한국통신학회 2012 Journal of communications and networks Vol.14 No.5

One of the key elements in the emerging, packet-based long term evolution (LTE) cellular systems is the deployment of multiple femtocells for the improvement of coverage and data rate. However, arbitrary overlaps in the coverage of these femtocells make the handover operation more complex and challenging. As the existing handover strategy of LTE systems considers only carrier to interference plus noise ratio (CINR), it often suffers from resource constraints in the target femtocell, thereby leading to handover failure. In this paper, we propose a new ef-ficient, multi-objective handover solution for LTE cellular systems. The proposed solution considersmultiple parameters like signal strength and available bandwidth in the selection of the optimal target cell. This results in a significant increase in the handover success rate, thereby reducing the blocking of handover and new sessions. The overall handover process is modeled and analyzed by a three-dimensional Markov chain. The analytical results for the major performance metrics closely resemble the simulation results. The simulation results show that the proposedmulti-objective handover offers considerable improvement in the session blocking rates, session queuing delay, handover latency, and goodput during handover.
