QoS Translation and Admission Control for MPEG Video

Abstract

In this paper we present an integrated view of translation and admission control relations for MPEG video streams between a multimedia distributed application such as video-on-demand, and its underlying system resource, CPU. Both services are presented as core services of our Quality of Service (QoS) communication model. This communication model is analyzed for different MPEG grouping schemes and communication paradigms. We show under these schemes and paradigms the translation and admission control implications for deterministic QoS specification which must be considered in any MPEG-based multimedia system. Keywords QoS translation, Admission Control, MPEG video, Quality of service 1 INTRODUCTION Communication model for quality-of-service(QoS) guarantees has been proposed to ensure the guaranteed service video servers and clients need [2]. The service user sends the QoS specification to the service provider. The service provider translates the overall, higher-level QoS specificatio..
