Research Area : Networked Media Systems and Protocols focusing "Reliable and Flexible Delivery System for Integrated Multimedia over wired/wireless networks"

Immersive Media Delivery

	Resilient and synchronized media distribution over multicast-enabled networks: Synchronized multicast media streaming with adaptive playout, Resilient/Layered multicast with source error resiliency and scalability, and Reliable media distribution by IETF's RMT.
	Distributed and massive media distribution via CDN: Media delivery over content distribution framework with proxy/cache, and distributed media streaming via P2P and application-layer multicasting.
	Immersive and interactive media contents generation and delivery: Integrated media content generation extending MPEG-4 system and X3D; immersive and interactive media delivery and high performance networking over next-generation optical Internet (Access Grid and Networked Virtual Environment).

Ubiquitous Networking

	Ubiquitous media networking with mobility, QoS, and multicast support: Wireless media delivery over 3G/4G wireless Internet and IEEE 802.11-based Wireless LAN that includes mobility, QoS, and multicast support.
	Persistent and autonomous information sharing via P2P content networking and sensor networking: Content-based overlay networking design via P2P and persistent AdHoc and sensor networking.
	Dynamic media delivery over highly fluctuant networks for graceful degradation (bandwidth, delay, and error/loss): Dynamic network adaptation with layered prioritization, rate/flow control, source-network coordinated error control, and incorporation of IETF's TCP-friendly end-to-end congestion control.
	Robust and scalable media representation (compression/transcoding): Encoding/transcoding for scalable/error-resilient representation and its prioritized packetization by layered relative priority index (layered RPI) focusing on the multi-functional aspects of ISO/IEC JPEG-2000 image, ITU-T H.263++/H.264 video, and ISO/IEC MPEG-2/4 audio/video/system.

Networking support

	Efficient networking support for media delivery via adaptive network QoS/resource management: Futuristic QoS architecture by IETF IntServ and DiffServ integration, policy-based network QoS management, and end-to-end performance monitoring and management.
	Flexible and transparent media service protocols for next-generation networks and GRID & Home Network middleware: Media service protocols and architectures such as IETF's RTP/RTCP/RTSP/SDP/SIP, ISO/IEC MPEG-4's DMIF, and ITU-T's H.323/H.324M; Media networking linked with GRID middleware and Home Network (UPnP/HAVi/Jini).
	Universal media access framework with security and intellectual property management: MPEG-7's Ds/DS/DDL, W3C's XML/RDF/SMIL, WAP Forum's WML, IETF IPSEC/MSEC, and MPEG-4 IPMP by watermarking and encryption tool.
