Abstract:

The recent advances in data processing and desktop computing, coupled with the advent of high speed communication networks, paved the way to the development of large-scale multimedia computing and communications systems. The presentation of multimedia information requires synchronization between various streams, to insure that logically related data are presented concurrently at the appropriate times. The main challenge in developing distributed multimedia systems is the development of efficient schemes to achieve temporal and intermedia synchronization. In this paper, a communication scheme to facilitate synchronization among multiple multimedia streams is presented. The basic tenet of the scheme is that by bounding the end-to-end delay on the coordinated streams and limiting jitter, synchronization can be guaranteed. The fundamental characteristics of the proposed scheme include guaranteed support for on-time delivery of packets, jitter control, efficient network admission control mechanisms, and efficient network load based per node delay assignment.
