The T-DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) service was recently made available in the metropolitan area and it is allowed to provide up to CIF(Common Interleaved Frame) resolution.
The development of the hierarchical modulation transmission technology enabled the development of this technology which allows and extension of restricted bandwidth. Due to the low cost of display equipments as well as accepting high-quality of screen resolution, users' requests for high-quality mobile multimedia services are rapidly increasing.
In particular, as a base layer, the SVC(Scalable Video Coding) encoder including H.264 makes interchange possible prior to T-DMB service. The enhancement layer is able to offer the Advanced T-DMB service through spatial scalability.
However encoding standardized SVC is rather complicated and eats up operational capacity. So in order to accelerate the successful standardization and commercialization of the Advanced Terrestrial-DMB service, it is necessary to overcome these problems.
Using the algorithm model, this study through utilizes three avenues by which standardization and commercialization of the advanced Terrestrial-DMB service can be achieved.
That is, this study focuses on ways by which a reduction of complexities using statistical characteristic of JSVM9.12 can reduce computational burden. Additionally, it investigates and how Bit rate can be controlled for transmission of bit streams with limited bandwidth so that screen quality is improved or not sacrificed. Finally, it studies the control technique of integrated SVC to improve existing regular bit rates.
First, this paper prioritizes encoding by analyzing in terms of time the performance of each function and investigating the frequency of each function against the standard reference model JSVM encoder control.
It suggests that complexity models for VBR(Variable bit rate) and CBR(Constant bit Rate), because of the prioritization inherent in the encoding statistic of these models, can make carrying functions possible. Their performances were analyzed by carrying simulated experiments.
Second, this paper suggests the use of independent substitute allocation model and multiplex substitute allocation model through implementation of bit allocation to the enhancement layer and control of bit rate. Previously, bit rate control was applied only to the base layer. Inter layer statistical characteristic is used to enhance dependence between base layer and enhancement layer of SVC encoder control. Likewise, performance was analyzed by carrying out simulated experiments.
Third, this paper suggests the use of a unified control technique which makes dynamic bit allocation possible by controlling operation of encoder control buffer and improving conventional regular bit rate control technique. It suggests a way by which reduction of computational burden can be made possible while maintaining efficiency of encoding. This is done by using the inter layer encoder mode and statistic characteristic of quantization parameter which is based on suggested unified control technique. Performance is also analyzed through simulated experiments.
The suggested unified mode model reduced performance time the maximum by more than 60% as compared to the existing mode. Multiplex substitute allocation model using inter layer independencies is controlled up to 1.7%, compared to the case of controlling regular bit rate of independent substitute allocation model, showing 0.18dB improvement of screen quality. Multiplex bit rate control showed up to 0.3dB improvement of screen quality performance as compared to the conventional control technique. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed control schemes reduce the heavy computational burden by up to 12% compared to the conventional scheme, while keeping the objective visual quality very high.
