Abstract: Disclosed are a method of transmitting/receiving streaming data, to which a bit rate suitable for a mobile communication terminal is applied, in a communication system including a server and the mobile communication terminal, and a communication system therefor. The communication system include the server for converting multimedia data into the streaming data, and transmitting the streaming data to the mobile communication terminal; and the mobile communication terminal for, on receiving the streaming data from the server, collecting streaming parameters for use to determine the bit rate, and newly determining the bit rate.

Abstract: A method for operating a portable terminal so as to reduce power consumption during the support of a communication service and a portable terminal supporting the same is provided. The method includes activating a Radio Frequency (RF) communication unit, downloading a part of data of predetermined contents through the RF communication unit, buffering the downloaded part of the data in a buffer so as to output the buffered downloaded part of the data, and executing an idle time for terminating or reducing a power supply of the RF communication unit when the downloading of the part of the data of the predetermined contents is completed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for receiving streaming data is provided. The method includes establishing a plurality of real-time streaming protocol (RTSP) sessions for receiving the streaming data, and receiving the streaming data through the plurality of RTSP sessions.

Abstract: A storage file format for replaying an adaptively streamed multimedia stream, a client apparatus using the storage file format, and a method of storing a multimedia stream in the client apparatus are provided. According to the storage file format, meta-information for playing fragments and fragment access meta-information for replaying fragments are added to fragments.

Abstract: A method of constructing a multimedia streaming file format, and a method and apparatus for servicing multimedia streaming using the multimedia streaming file format, the method of constructing the multimedia streaming file format including the operations of arranging a plurality of mdat boxes that store multimedia data, and a moof box that stores metadata related to the multimedia data stored in the plurality of mdat boxes; and generating a fragment using the plurality of mdat boxes that store the multimedia data, and using the moof box that stores the metadata related to the multimedia data stored in the plurality of mdat boxes, wherein the plurality of mdat boxes are positioned ahead of the moof box.

Abstract: A jitter correction method of a transmitting device, a jitter correction method of a receiving device, a transmitting device, and a receiving device are provided. The jitter correction method of the transmitting device includes: determining a time stamp of a video frame; determining a transfer time of an real-time transport protocol (RTP) packet that includes at least a part of the video frame as a payload; generating the RTP packet including the time stamp and the transfer time; and transmitting the RTP packet to a receiving device.

Abstract: Provided are a multimedia data reproducing method and an apparatus for controlling a multimedia data reproducing speed based on a multimedia data packet receiving speed. The method including controlling a reproducing speed of the multimedia data based on a first time difference between times at which a plurality of packets including the multimedia data are respectively received and a second time difference between times to respectively reproduce the multimedia data corresponding to the plurality of packets; and reproducing the multimedia data at the controlled reproducing speed.

Abstract: A client apparatus and method using a multimedia streaming service supporting technology that controls streaming communication with a streaming server on the basis of a buffer level independently from a pause/resuming input of a user are provided. The method includes: measuring a buffer level of a buffer of a streaming client which temporarily stores streaming data received from a streaming server; and controlling, independently from a user's input, streaming communication with the streaming server according to the measured buffer level.
