Compression of digital video is the only viable means to transport real-time full-motion video over BISDN/ATM networks. Traffic streams generated by video compressors exhibit complicated patterns which vary from one compression scheme to another. In this paper we investigate the traffic characteristics of video streams which are compressed based on the MPEG standard. Our study is based on 23 minutes of video obtained from an entertainment movie. A particular significance of our data is that it contains all types of coded frames, namely: Intra-coded (I), Prediction (P), and Bidirectional (B) MPEG frames. We describe the statistical behavior of the VBR stream using histograms and autocorrelation functions. A procedure is developed to determine the instants of a scene change based on the changes in the size of successive I frames. It is found that the length of a scene can be modeled by a geometric distribution.A model for an MPEG traffic source is developed in which frames are generated according to the compression pattern of the captured video stream. For each frame type, the number of cells per frame is fitted by a lognormal distribution whose parameters are determined by the frame type. The appropriateness and limitations of the model are examined by studying the multiplexing performance of MPEG streams. Simulations of an ATM multiplexer are conducted, in which traffic sources are derived from the measured VBR trace as well as the proposed model. The queueing performance in both cases is found to be relatively close.

This paper presents a new methodology for measuring MOS transistor current mismatch and a new transistor current mismatch model. The new methodology is based on extracting the mismatch information from a fully functional circuit rather than on probing individual devices;this extraction leads to more efficient and more accurate mismatch measurement. The new model characterizes the total mismatch as a sum of two components, one systematic and the other random. For our process, we attribute nearly half of the mismatch to the systematic component, which we model as a linear gradient across the die. Furthermore, we present a new model for the random component of the mismatch which is 60% more accurate, on average, than existing models.

During the past decade, information technology has evolved to store and retrieve multimedia data (e.g., audio, video). Multimedia information systems utilize a variety of human senses to provide an effective means of conveying information. Already, these systems play a major role in educational applications, entertainment technology, and library information systems. A challenging task when implementing these systems is to support a continuous retrieval of an object at the bandwidth required by its media type. This is challenging because certain media types, in particular video, require very high bandwidths. For example, the bandwidth required by NTSC (the US standard established by the National Television System Committee) for "network-quality" video is about 45 megabits per second (mbps). Recommendation 601 of the international Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR) calls for a 216 mbps bandwidth for video objects. A video object based on the HDTV (High Definition Television) quality images requires approximately a 700 mbps bandwidth. Compare these bandwidth requirements with the typical 10 mbps bandwidth of a magnetic disk drive, which is not expected to increase significantly in the near future. Currently, there are several ways to support continuous display of these objects: 1) sacrifice the quality of the data by using either a lossy compression technique or a low resolution device, 2) employ the aggregate bandwidth of several disk drives by declustering an object across multiple disks [2], and 3) use a combination of these two techniques. Lossy compression techniques encode data into a form that consumes a relatively small amount of space, however, when the data is decoded, it yields a representation similar to the original (some loss of data). While it is effective, there are applications that cannot tolerate loss of data. As an example consider the video signals collected from space. This data may not be compressed using a lossy compression technique. Otherwise
Increases in bandwidths and processing capabilities of future packet switched networks will give rise to a dramatic increase in the types of applications using them. Many of these applications will require guaranteed ...
