Purpose of class

The aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of transmission method of the multimedia communication such as protocol for real-time streaming or Quality of Service Technology. Moreover, the aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of information compression technology such as JPEG or MPEG.

Course description

This course introduces the communication technology to transmit multimedia data such as video or voice streaming in the network and the Information compression technology. Moreover, this course will refer to actual multimedia system examples and future technologies.

Goals and objectives

At the end of the course, participants are able to understand the protocol for real-time streaming and QoS technology.
At the end of the course, participants are able to calculate entropy encoding/Quantization/DCT and explain one.
At the end of the course, participants are able to explain the element technology for transmitting multimedia data over a network.

Evaluation method and criteria

Our final grade will be calculated according to the following process: small quiz (10%), mid-term exam (40%), term-end exam (40%), and exercises report (10%).
The scoring guide: If you prepare a class, review the class content and the exercises, and answer the questions of the term-end exam by using knowledge appropriately, you can get more than 60 points.
