Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a system and method that analyze a plurality of types of interactions between devices and between users, predict intimacies therebetween, find small groups within a certain group based on the intimacies, and then detect outcasts. The system for detecting a small group and an outcast includes a data collection unit for collecting data based on interactions between objects. A data analysis unit analyzes the data. An intimacy prediction unit calculates intimacies between objects based on the analyzed data. A small group configuration unit detects one or more small groups from a certain group, based on the calculated intimacies. An outcast detection unit detects an outcast, based on presence or absence of each object in the one or more small groups and the intimacies.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method that enable data sharing to be performed between short-range/middle-range/long-range mobile terminals by minimizing specific intervention of a user. The apparatus includes a social relationship management unit for managing social network group information formed by a user while the user utilizes a social network service. A device recognition and authentication unit identifies a mobile terminal of another party attempting to make a connection and allocates a data communication channel for data exchange, based on device information received from the mobile terminal of the other party attempting to make a connection and the social network group information. A shared data setting unit sets data to be shared with the mobile terminal of the other party between which the data communication channel has been established. A shared data transmission unit transmits the data to be shared to the mobile terminal of the other party.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a server and method for providing collaboration service, and a sociality management server. The server includes a service provision unit and a space construction unit. The service provision unit sets up collaboration service corresponding to the results of combining functions of at least two collaboration terminals based on sociality values corresponding to the at least two collaboration terminals. The space construction unit constructs a service provision device space via which the collaboration service is to be provided. The service provision unit provides the collaboration service to the at least two collaboration terminals via the service provision device space.

Disclosed herein is a method for receiving adaptive media streaming. The method may include calculating segment download time for each video quality level based on network throughput, a segment bitrate for the video quality level, segment duration, and a standard deviation of segment bitrates, determining a segment bitrate for maximizing the quality of viewing experience of a user based on the segment download time for each video quality level and a buffer level received from a playback buffer, making a request for the determined segment bitrate, transferring the request to a server, and transferring a corresponding video segment received in response to the request to the playback buffer.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a hybrid download method and apparatus for multiview streaming. The hybrid download method includes requesting a group download for an n−1-th segment from a server, playing an n−3-th segment at a viewpoint VP1 of a viewer, when a group download request for the n−1-th segment is completed, making a group download request for an n-th segment, when a change in a viewpoint of the viewer occurs at a time at which an n−2-th segment is played, playing a low-quality n−2-th segment at a viewpoint VP3, when the group download for the n-th segment is completed, requesting a single download for a high-quality n−1-th segment corresponding to the viewpoint VP3 from the server, and when the single download for the high-quality n−1-th segment corresponding to the viewpoint VP3 is completed, playing the high-quality n−1-th segment at the viewpoint VP3.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a synchronization method for transmitting a DOCSIS upstream signal, which is performed by an RoIP terminal, the synchronization method including receiving a synchronization (SYNC) message periodically sent by a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) and thereby synchronizing a clock and generating a reference time; receiving a ranging request signal from a Cable Modem (CM); including information about a start time of an allocated ranging interval in the ranging request signal, converting the ranging request signal into an IP packet, and transmitting the IP packet to an RoIP headend device over an IP network in order to enable the RoIP headend device to convert the ranging request signal, delivered via the IP network, into an RF signal and transmit the RF signal to the CMTS; and converting a ranging response message delivered from the CMTS into an electric signal and transmitting the electric signal to the CM.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for removing a self-interference signal. The apparatus includes one or more processors and executable memory for storing at least one program executed by the one or more processors. The at least one program receives an upstream signal for removing self-interference, generates a downstream signal for channel estimation, replicates a self-interference signal in a time domain and a self-interference signal in a frequency domain using the upstream signal and the downstream signal, and removes the self-interference signal from the upstream signal using the replicated self-interference signal in the time domain and the replicated self-interference signal in the frequency domain.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method for estimating a self-interference signal based on iterative estimation and an apparatus for the same. The method is configured to transmit two preamble signals from the transmission antenna of one terminal to the reception antenna thereof, to estimate third-order nonlinear distortion, which distorts a self-interference signal, based on a transmission signal and a reception signal for each of the two preamble signals, to update the reception signal by eliminating the third-order nonlinear distortion therefrom, to re-estimate the third-order nonlinear distortion based on the updated reception signal, and to estimate the self-interference signal based on the final third-order nonlinear distortion, which is acquired by repeatedly re-estimating the third-order nonlinear distortion as many times as a preset number of iterations.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method for transmitting and receiving compressed data and an apparatus therefor. According to the method for transmitting compressed data, a transmission apparatus for transmitting compressed data standardizes the value of an In-phase/Quadrature-phase (IQ) data sample to a preset type that is selected from among a positive number and a negative number, determines the sample type of the IQ data sample, the value of which is standardized to the preset type, based on a sample type determination rule, generates a compressed bit string based on the compression rule pertaining to the determined sample type, generates compressed data, including at least one of a reference bit corresponding to the sample type, the sign bit of the IQ data sample, and the compressed bit string, for each IQ data sample, and transmits the compressed data to a reception apparatus.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is technology for controlling transmission of a switched digital video service through which an operator management and control system for efficiently managing and controlling a switched digital video transmission system, which may improve utilization of frequency resources, may be simply constructed and managed. To this end, a method for controlling transmission of a switched digital video service includes configuring a multicast session based on information about a request to transmit a video, which is transmitted from a user end; forming and controlling a service flow to be transmitted through the multicast session; allocating and managing a frequency channel resource through which the service flow is to be transmitted; and sharing information about the frequency channel resource and allocation thereof with a switched digital video control module and managing and controlling the switched digital video control module.
