Abstract:
Provided are a passive optical network system and a method of transmitting a broadcasting signal in the same system. A central office (CO) generates a broadcasting signal and a downstream optical data signal using a coding method guaranteeing a run-length, multiplexes the downstream optical data signal and the broadcasting signal, and transmits the multiplexed downstream optical data signal and broadcasting signal. A remote node (RN) transmits the multiplexed downstream optical data signal and broadcasting signal received from the CO to one or more optical network units (ONUs). A gain medium, which is located on a transmission line between the CO and the RN, amplifies the broadcasting signal using the downstream optical data signal as a pump light source. Accordingly, a high gain can be obtained by amplifying the broadcasting signal using the gain medium located on the transmission line without a separate pump light source.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing an interactive multimedia service to a user in an access network are provided. The system includes a multimedia service providing server and a user terminal. The multimedia service providing server creates multimedia information requested by a user terminal, processes the created multimedia information, and manages a corresponding communication channel to allow a predetermined user terminal to receive the processed multimedia information. The user terminal transmits inputted user multimedia information to the multimedia service providing server through the access network and receives the multimedia information transmitted from the multimedia service providing server through the access network.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for setting a sensor node to be automatically connected. An apparatus for setting a connection of a sensor node may include: a data receiver to receive, from the sensor node, sensor data that is measured by the sensor node; a node type determining unit to determine a type of the sensor node based on the received sensor data; and a sensor node setting unit to set the sensor node to be automatically connected based on the determined type of the sensor node.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for coding a stereoscopic video. The method of coding a stereoscopic video includes coding an original reference image; performing preprocessing based on the original reference image, a decoded reference image, and an original additional image; coding the original addition image based on the original additional image and an improved decoding image obtained by performing the preprocessing; and performing postprocessing based on the original additional image and a decoded additional image.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multicast controlling apparatus and method in a multi hop network. The multicast controlling apparatus in the multi hop network includes a packet determining unit to receive a packet from a group management query device or a station, and to determine whether the received packet is a group management protocol packet, a packet type distinguishing unit to distinguish a type of the received packet when the received packet is determined as the group management protocol packet, and a packet transmitting unit to transmit the packet to a second port excluding a first port that receives the query message, when the received packet is determined as the query message.
Abstract:
A subscriber terminal-based personalized broadcast service system and method are provided. The subscriber terminal-based personalized broadcast service method includes receiving broadcast program schedule information from a broadcast head-end and receiving content schedule information from at least one content server; creating a personalized channel schedule in which a plurality of broadcast programs and a plurality of contents are arranged according to time with reference to the broadcast program schedule information and the content schedule information; and receiving a broadcast program or a content requested with reference to the personalized channel schedule from the broadcast head-end or the content server. Therefore, it is possible for a subscriber to view various broadcast programs and contents at any desired time. In addition, it is possible for a service provider to reduce the cost for the establishment and maintenance of a server and prevent the quality of broadcast services from deteriorating due to server traffic or load.
Abstract:
Provided are a channel server, a channel prediction server, a terminal, and a method for a fast channel switching. The channel server may generate at least one delay multicast stream from an original multicast stream by applying a different delay value based on channel preference information, and may determine an optimal multicast stream from the at least one delay multicast stream, and transmit, to a terminal, response information associated with the optimal multicast stream in response to query information associated with the original multicast stream received from the terminal.
Abstract:
Provided is an Optical Network Unit (ONU) and a method of operating the ONU. The ONU may include: a measurement unit to measure a downstream optical signal strength of downstream data received from an Optical Line Termination (OLT) via an optical splitter; a determination unit to determine an upstream optical signal strength based on the measured downstream optical signal strength; and a communication unit to transmit, to the OLT via the optical splitter, upstream data generated based on the determined upstream optical signal strength.
