Delivering a personalised video service using IPTV

Journal of …, 2010

IP video has taken two forms: Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), which emulates broadcast Television (TV), and Internet video where video selections are accessed across the Internet through Web sites such as YouTube, Hulu, Netflix and others. IPTV and Internet video each provide capabilities that will drive new TV experience. As more and more TV content migrates to the Internet, "personal" video choices are becoming the norm, not the exception, for IPTV as well as Internet video. Beyond today's established IPTV, transformations in how media are managed and delivered promise a world of personalized content and services delivered to "any device, anytime, anywhere." This paper describes the co-evolution of IPTV and Internet video. It gives a tutorial-level overview describing how IPTV content is managed and delivered today. Then it discusses the impacts on the IPTV architecture and media value chain from transformations in IPTV that are enhanced by Internet and Web capabilities.

This paper evaluates the existing NGN based IPTV architecture and services in the context of IPTV service personalization within multi-user environment at home network and user equipment. Advanced scenarios of IPTV for providing fully personalized and interactive IPTV services using existing and new mechanisms in Converged NGN based IPTV architectures are proposed within this paper. The services can improve the quality of experience (QoE) and user expectation via new personalized IPTV service behavior.

The world of telecommunications continues to provide radical technologies. Offering the benefits of a superior television experience at reduced long-term costs, IPTV is the newest offering. Deployments, however, are slow to be rolled out; the hardware and software support necessary is not uniformly available. This paper examines the challenges in providing IPTV services and the limitations in developments to overcome these challenges. Subsequently, a proposal is made which attempts to help solve the challenge of fulfilling real-time multimedia transmissions through provisioning for differentiated services. Initial implementations in Opnet are documented, and the paper concludes with an outline of future work.

As more and more content migrates to the Internet, "personal" video choices are becoming the norm not the exception. The impact of Internet content and IP based business of video distribution is still difficult to evaluate. However, there is obviously no turning back as this content pervades the home and the community. Driven in large part by the near-ubiquitous IP-based communication services, the TV experience has been extended over the years to embrace many of the same ancillary services provided by web applications. This new TV promises to deliver a world of content and services to "any device, anytime, anywhere". This paper addresses the architecture, the value chain and the technical and business challenges of implementing this new connected mobile and social TV experience.

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a transformative approach to delivering audio and video services through high-speed Internet networks, enabling direct access to television content via home computers or set-top boxes. Despite its promising advantages, including flexibility, interactivity, and bundled services such as triple play (voice, Internet, and TV) and quadruple play (adding mobile services), IPTV is still in its development phase. Key challenges include achieving a Quality of Service (QoS) comparable to traditional broadcasters, addressing limited bandwidth, and overcoming a lack of standardization among service providers. This paper explores the technical, operational, and consumer-oriented aspects of IPTV. It discusses data compression techniques, protocols like IGMP and RTSP, and the role of advanced codecs like H.264 in ensuring efficient data transmission. The study also examines the distinctions between IPTV and open-network Internet TV, the importance of security and privacy, and the emergence of new business opportunities through targeted advertising and interactive services. Although IPTV is unlikely to completely replace traditional broadcasting, it is poised to play an important role in shaping the future of television by offering personalized, secure, and scalable viewing experiences.

IMS has been widely recognized as the control and signaling framework for delivering of the rich communication & multimedia services to broadband users. Amongst others, it’s deploying as the service (middleware) platform for interactive and personalized IPTV services. The goal of this paper is to provide a short description and analysis of the (IPTV) use cases that have been selected for design and implementation at Hanoi University of Technology (HUT) in scope of its initiatives for NGN researching program. Major use cases, or we called intelligent features, are the advanced electronic service guide, video on demand (VoD), (IPTV) session continuity, and parental control. Development results for each of the use case are depicted.

Interactive IPTV is seen as the future for delivering TV services as it brings all the benefits of computer-based IP networking to the residential viewers. This paper presents the iPersonal IPTV framework that enhances the existing interactive IPTV solution with viewer-oriented personalisation and network and devicebased adaptation. This framework is proposed in order to provide significant benefits in terms of viewers' Quality of Experience and to increase their satisfaction. The iPersonal IPTV framework is exemplified in the area of entertainment distribution to remote residential users.

This tutorial presents on IPTV technology. Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is a system through which television services are delivered using the architecture and networking methods of the Internet Protocol suite over a packet-switched network infrastructure. IPTV services may be classified into three main groups: live television, time-shifted programming, and video on demand.
