A novel IP to 3G multimedia gateway and its applications

In this paper, we use simple 3G modem cards to design and deploy a novel gateway bridging IP network and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) 3G mobile network in Hong Kong. A simplified Session Initial Protocol (SIP) is devised to implement the gateway together with the 3G-324M protocol. Compared with the existent similar gateways, our gateway is much more implementable and less cost. Using the proposed gateway, we devise and develop a Video Instant Message System (VIMS) which achieves direct audio and video communications from terminals of the Internet like desktop to 3G mobile phones. Moreover, we produce and accomplish a Mobile Robotic Car Remote Control System (MRCRCS) based on the gateway and VIMS. In the MRCRCS, individuals can distantly control the moving direction of a robotic car by using a VIMS client or a 3G cell phone. By a series of practical experiments, we testify the efficiency and robustness of the gateway and its application scheme.     

The residential gateway

Burgeoning competition in telecommunications is multiplying the number of communications paths into the home-but a standard multinetwork connection could sort them out. Services going into the residence may enter over copper wires, hybrid fiber coax, RF transmission, fiber to the curb, or, most importantly, by any combination of these sources and structures. To have a successful market, residential customers must be able to move smoothly from one combination of these offerings to another so that the customers consider the move worthwhile. For this multinetwork-to-multiservice interconnection to have value, it must be simple, and that simplicity is the basis for the residential gateway concept. In other words, the substantial complexity of the interconnection must be hidden from the consumer. The concept is essentially the development of a set of interface standards between the broadband residential access networks and the communication services (the internal networks) required for the consumer's home

The CSI multimedia architecture

An instruction set extension designed to accelerate multimedia applications is presented and evaluated. In the proposed complex streamed instruction (CSI) set, a single instruction can process vector data streams of arbitrary length and stride and combines complex memory accesses (with implicit prefetching), program control for vector sectioning, and complex computations on multiple data in a single operation. In this way, CSI eliminates overhead instructions (such as instructions for data sectioning, alignment, reorganization, and packing/unpacking) often needed in applications utilizing MMX-like extensions and accelerates key multimedia kernels. Simulation results demonstrate that a superscalar processor extended with CSI outperforms the same processor enhanced with Sun's VIS extension by a factor of up to 7.77 on key multimedia kernels and by up to 35% on full applications.

The challenge of multimedia standardization

Standards for communication systems once were produced by specific industries in a vertically integrated fashion. Multimedia, which merges different forms of communication, requires a new approach-horizontal or layered-to develop standards. This implies a radical change in the way standards are produced. Increasing the bandwidth to end users also forces a change in the role of public authorities in regulating the use of technology to provide services

平滑扩展的VPN网关设备

传统的安全网关放在内网与外网之间,很容易成为网络的瓶颈,甚至会因VPN的故障造成网络中断。例如,如果有一些突发的数据到达时,由于网络设备和服务器受到处理能力、内存CPU的容量、服务器性能等客观条件的限制,一些请求可能无法及时处理,从而造成请求丢弃、应答滞后等问题。不仅如此,由于不少业务是基于TCP协议,造成报文的超时重发,增加了网络设备和服务器的负担,进入恶性循环,降低整个网络的效率甚至导致系统的崩溃。

The multimedia broadcast/multicast service

This article provides an overview of the multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) for universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) networks. We first outline the features of UMTS networks as defined by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) in order to provide a background for the discussion to follow. We then present the overall MBMS architecture, the services that it provides to the users and the differences between the broadcast and multicast options. The implementation details of MBMS are explained in terms of the modifications needed to the network, the new signaling procedures required and the impact of MBMS on the radio part of the network. We then describe how the security architecture of UMTS is used to support content protection and key distribution for MBMS groups. We evaluate the prospects of MBMS by comparing it first with IP multicast and then with DVB‐H, considered by many to be the closest competitor of MBMS. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the technical and business challenges still faced by MBMS. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The role of VLSI in multimedia

The opportunity to develop multimedia applications based on compressed video is the result of progress in three areas: standards, networking, and VLSI. Current video coding standards and their underlying algorithms use a variety of techniques to isolate and remove redundancies in the image sequence. Some of these techniques place severe demands on the underlying VLSI technology. Manufacturers of VLSI codecs have chosen a number of different architectural approaches. The advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed in the context of various applications with examples taken from existing or soon to be announced products. The AT&T AVP4000 chip set is described in some detail. Major design challenges included CAD tools for simulation and verification, packaging and the control of power dissipation     

QoS-enabled residential gateway architecture

As networking technologies penetrate wide varieties of devices for daily usage, home networks are becoming a reality. The bandwidth and always-on connectivity provided by the rapidly growing broadband technologies, such as cable and digital subscriber line (DSL), render home networking even more attractive. A residential gateway is a device that interconnects various home devices to one another as well as to the Internet. The home networks being deployed today are simple and inexpensive with the residential gateway providing only connectivity. As home networks evolve and become more widespread, emerging applications on home networks will demand additional features that require quality of service. We present an architecture of a next-generation QoS-enabled residential gateway. Such a residential gateway, in conjunction with the developments in QoS-enabled wireless LAN technologies, will usher in a new generation of home networks that are capable of supporting a wide range of applications.

Multimedia information will play a significant role in the next generation of mission-critical applications such as industrial process control, crisis management, and military command and control. Unlike multimedia applications for entertainment (such as video-on-demand services) and office automation (such as videoconferencing), multimedia in mission-critical applications has several unique requirements; on-line processing with real-time constraints due to its event driven nature; the ability to distinguish the criticality of concurrent streams with different degrees of importance; fault tolerance to hostile environments, and adaptability to system changes

MOSIS-a gateway to silicon

The MOSIS Service, a low-cost prototyping service for standard-cell and full-custom VLSI circuit development, is discussed. MOSIS (an acronym for MOS Implementation System) has developed a methodology that allows the merging of many different projects from various organizations onto one wafer. This cost-sharing gives designers opportunities that might be prohibitive at regular commercial prices. Since designs are combined on a single mask set. MOSIS users pay for only the fraction of the silicon that they use. Runs are scheduled on a regular basis for 3.0-, 2.0-, 1.6-, and 1.2-μm double-metal CMOS/bulk technologies. MOSIS quality control and access to MOSIS are described
