In order to increase the flexibility, the proposed design can be reconfigured to decode MPEG-4 video with different frame sizes without modifying the architecture. For reducing the power consumption, we have re-arranged the MPEG-4 texture decoding flow, exploited efficient adder-based algorithm and DPGC-based architecture for IDCT processor, and adopted the zero vector detection technique in skipping the IDCT operations on zero data.

People are used to planning things ahead, surely including when to watch desired videos. This fact creates the new video scheduling paradigm, named scheduled video delivery (SVD). It allures clients to make requests as early as possible in order to increase the flexibility of stream scheduling and resource utilization based on pricing. We provide a performance study of our proposed multi-channel multicast delivery (MCMD) scheduling algorithm for SVD. MCMD fully utilizes the multi-channel receiving capability of the clients to improve the resource utilization and the degree of multicast in delivering continuous media. The performance study of its scheduling behavior shows that MCMD produces lower rejection rate and requires fewer number of channels to have no rejections than the existing MEDF and LPF on SVD.","PeriodicalId":426683,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems, 2004.
