  1. ICE 798 Wireless Mobile Internet – Fall 2002 Term Project The implementation of video distribution application using mobile group communication December 4, 2002 CDS&N Lab., ICU Dukyun Nam

  2. Introduction • Group Communication Service [6, 11] • a collection of processes forms a fault-tolerant group and cooperatively performs a distributed computation using group communication protocols that guarantee message delivery ordering (process group & group programming tools) • Group membership • It hides from application the internal coordination of a group • Consistency of view • Reliable multicast • It delivers a single message to multiple receivers • Atomicity • Ordering • Consideration in wireless environment • Unreliable communication • Handoff • Disconnected mode & Idle mode • Disconnection is distinct from failure • No long-run application in mobile • Join/Leave operation is occurred frequently • Mobile Group Communication Service [10]

  3. Motivation • Killer application of group communication? • Replication to support fault tolerance • Try to support multimedia data in this project • Multimedia data • Video, Audio, Text, etc. • MPEG-1 Video in this project • Timeliness • Wireless environment • Loss rate in wireless networks is higher than in wired networks • Group communication can provide QoS to end users

  4. Background • MPEG video data [9] • Consists of I frame, B frame, and P frame • I (interframe), P (predicted), B (bi-directional) • Priority: I > P > B MPEG Data Frames

  5. Related work • Group Communication in mobile environments • MobileChannel [7] • Hides handoff using group communication • Using primary migration • Prakash and Baldoni’s approach [13] • Proximity layer • For location awareness • Group Multicast [1, 5] • Coordinator based approach • Disconnected member : automatically recover if reconnected • Existing group communication systems in WANs [3, 4, 8] • Paritionable network • Support split and remerging

  6. Related work (cont.) • Mobile Group Communication Service [10] • Designed by ICU CDS&N Lab. • Underlying protocol • UDP, not IP multicast MGCS Architecture

  7. Design • Sample environments • Source • In wired networks • Sink • In wireless networks • Loss rate is high Sample environments

  8. Pack start code Pack header Packet Packet  End code Packet start code Packet header Packet data Start Code I frames P frames B frames Receiver 1 Sender Receiver 2 MPEG Receiver 3 Design (cont.) • MPEG Data • Packs: collection of packets • Data delivery Structure of MPEG data Data delivery of MPEG frames

  9. Local decoding Mpeg stream Partitioning stream stream … stream stream stream Start point End point Implementation • MPEG player [12] • JDK 1.3 • Procedure • 1) Loading and parsing of the MPEG-files • 2) Reconstruction of the single frames • 3) Playing of the frames as animation in a thread • Group communication protocol • MGCS [10] MPEG data partitioning

  10. Demonstration • MPEG video data delivery using MGCS • Environments • Assume high loss rate networks • Use small size MPEG file • Case 1 • Use IP multicast • B frames are lost • Case 2 • Use MGCS • I-, B-, P-frames are delivered Source Sink IP multicast Source Membership Server MSS MGCS Sink

  11. Conclusion • Video distribution application using MGCS • Guarantee reliable data exchange among members in wireless networks • MGCS’s errors are fixed, but not completed. • Implementation problems of MGCS • Buffer management • Packet fragmentation • Future work • Fix bugs of MGCS • Performance evaluation • MGCS and video distribution application • Reliable delivery vs. playing time • Test this application in the wireless test-bed
