MIMO無線伝送に適したスケーラブルビデオコーディングに関する研究

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new normal has taken over. It affects the higher demand for using video traffic. H.264/SVC is the video compression standard with several advantages compared with the previous standard, such as a smaller storage space and scalability of video quality depending on network quality. The H.264/SVC bitstream includes one base layer (BL), the most important layer, and one or more enhancement layers (EL) which can be leveraged to optimize the video scalability depending on the network condition and user preferences. The method of transmission is powerful as the video coding method. The transmission of the good video quality will not be effective without a suitable transmission method. In this thesis, we study and research the H.264 scalable video coding transmission with IEEE 802.11ac standard MIMO wireless transmission. We focus on the suitable transmission method for H.264/SVC in a different environment. We divide the research focusing on two issues: 1. With the difference channel environment: The suitable H.264/SVC transmission technique in IEEE 802.11ac with the specific quantization parameter of video encoding was proposed. This aim is to compare three techniques in IEEE 802.11ac: STBC, SISO, and MIMO. In this focus, only the accuracy of the video was considered to measure the efficiency of the transmission technique. This part proposed to utilize STBC to improve the quality of H.264/SVC video transmission. We have shown the performance of H.264/SVC video transmission with three multiple antenna techniques. The results show that STBC is the best technique for H.264/SVC transmission under a low-quality channel environment. The best result shows that STBC in channel model D can improve the PSNR by 67 percent and 76 percent compared with SISO and MIMO, respectively, at low SNR of 20 dB. Due to STBC transmitting multiple copies of data, it can increase data reliability. We proved that STBC is the most suitable multiple antenna technique to improve the quality and realizability of video transmission in both PSNR and bit error rate (BER). 2. With the different transmission distance: H.264/SVC video transmission on MIMO with RSSI feedback was proposed. This aim to proposes the allocation of packetization in the transmission packet and the compromising of quantization parameter encoding both vary on the channel efficiency. This part proposed a MIMO transmission system for H.264 scalable video coding that does not require full CSI feedback. Instead of the CSI feedback, we have used the RSSI and table of encoding rules obtained via link simulation in MATLAB. The encoding rule takes the form of the encoding ratio between the base and enhancement layer, which was done by adjusting the quantization parameter. This proposed system has been shown to improve the PSNR by at least 16 dB and increase the effective distance of 6 meters above compared with the conventional method.九州工業大学博士学位論文 学位記番号：情工博甲第372号 学位授与年月日：令和4年12月27日1 Introduction|2 Video Transmission System Overview|3 H.264/SVC Video Transmission by IEEE 802.11ac Techniques|4 H.264/SVC Video Transmission on MIMO with RSSI Feedback|5 Conclusion and Future Work九州工業大学令和4年

Slight-Delay Shaped Variable Bit Rate (SD-SVBR) Technique for Video Transmission

The aim of this thesis is to present a new shaped Variable Bit Rate (VBR) for video transmission, which plays a crucial role in delivering video traffic over the Internet. This is due to the surge of video media applications over the Internet and the video typically has the characteristic of a highly bursty traffic, which leads to the Internet bandwidth fluctuation. This new shaped algorithm, referred to as Slight Delay - Shaped Variable Bit Rate (SD-SVBR), is aimed at controlling the video rate for video application transmission. It is designed based on the Shaped VBR (SVBR) algorithm and was implemented in the Network Simulator 2 (ns-2). SVBR algorithm is devised for real-time video applications and it has several limitations and weaknesses due to its embedded estimation or prediction processes. SVBR faces several problems, such as the occurrence of unwanted sharp decrease in data rate, buffer overflow, the existence of a low data rate, and the generation of a cyclical negative fluctuation. The new algorithm is capable of producing a high data rate and at the same time a better quantization parameter (QP) stability video sequence. In addition, the data rate is shaped efficiently to prevent unwanted sharp increment or decrement, and to avoid buffer overflow. To achieve the aim, SD-SVBR has three strategies, which are processing the next Group of Picture (GoP) video sequence and obtaining the QP-to-data rate list, dimensioning the data rate to a higher utilization of the leaky-bucket, and implementing a QP smoothing method by carefully measuring the effects of following the previous QP value. However, this algorithm has to be combined with a network feedback algorithm to produce a better overall video rate control. A combination of several video clips, which consisted of a varied video rate, has been used for the purpose of evaluating SD-SVBR performance. The results showed that SD-SVBR gains an impressive overall Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) value. In addition, in almost all cases, it gains a high video rate but without buffer overflow, utilizes the buffer well, and interestingly, it is still able to obtain smoother QP fluctuation

Smart PIN: performance and cost-oriented context-aware personal information network

The next generation of networks will involve interconnection of heterogeneous individual networks such as WPAN, WLAN, WMAN and Cellular network, adopting the IP as common infrastructural protocol and providing virtually always-connected network. Furthermore, there are many devices which enable easy acquisition and storage of information as pictures, movies, emails, etc. Therefore, the information overload and divergent content’s characteristics make it difficult for users to handle their data in manual way. Consequently, there is a need for personalised automatic services which would enable data exchange across heterogeneous network and devices. To support these personalised services, user centric approaches for data delivery across the heterogeneous network are also required. In this context, this thesis proposes Smart PIN - a novel performance and cost-oriented context-aware Personal Information Network. Smart PIN's architecture is detailed including its network, service and management components. Within the service component, two novel schemes for efficient delivery of context and content data are proposed: Multimedia Data Replication Scheme (MDRS) and Quality-oriented Algorithm for Multiple-source Multimedia Delivery (QAMMD). MDRS supports efficient data accessibility among distributed devices using data replication which is based on a utility function and a minimum data set. QAMMD employs a buffer underflow avoidance scheme for streaming, which achieves high multimedia quality without content adaptation to network conditions. Simulation models for MDRS and QAMMD were built which are based on various heterogeneous network scenarios. Additionally a multiple-source streaming based on QAMMS was implemented as a prototype and tested in an emulated network environment. Comparative tests show that MDRS and QAMMD perform significantly better than other approaches

Protocol design and optimization for wireless networks

We investigate a number of techniques for increasing throughput and quality of media applications over wireless networks. A typical media communication application such as video streaming imposes strict requirements on the delay and throughout of its packets, which unfortunately, cannot be guaranteed by the underlying wireless network due inherently to the multi-user interference and limited bandwidth of wireless channels. Therefore, much recent research has been focused on the joint design of network layers in order to guarantee some pre-specified Quality of Service (QoS). In this thesis, we investigate three specific settings to address the general problem of media transmission over wireless networks. In the first setting, we propose a distributed admission control algorithm in one-hop wireless network to decide whether or not a new flow should be injected into the network, in order to guarantee the QoS of the current flows. Next, a novel medium access control protocol and a scheduling packet algorithm are proposed for jointly optimizing the quality of video streaming applications. In the second setting, we extend the framework of the proposed admission control from a one-hop network to linear wireless networks, consisting of multiple nodes. In the third and final setting, we present an approach for increasing the throughput of wireless access networks by integrating network coding and beamforming techniques
