Abstract: A source-channel combined coding method including: determining whether a channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is varied or not; when it is determined that the channel SNR is varied, selecting a MODCOD suitable for the channel SNR by referring to a first table defining an SNR threshold value at which data transmission is performed without an error, for each MODCOD designating a low density parity check (LDPC) code rate and a modulation scheme; calculating a source coding rate by using an effective information bit rate of the selected MODCOD; extracting network abstraction layer (NAL) units for each layer from an inputted video frame so as to satisfy the calculated source coding rate, and packetizing the extracted NAL units; binding packets to configure a baseband (BB) frame; and LDPC coding and modulating the BB frame through the code rate and the modulation scheme which are designated by the selected MODCOD.

Abstract: A method for generating and processing a hierarchical packetized elementary stream (PES) packet for digital satellite broadcasting based on SVC (Scalable Video Coding) video is disclosed. That is, when SVC video is applied to a digital satellite broadcasting system, a transmitter side can generate a hierarchical PES packet in consideration of a hierarchical structure of SVC video and a receiver side can effectively process a received hierarchical PES packet.

Abstract: Provided is a streaming service system and method for a universal video access based on scalable video coding (SVC). A gateway to provide a streaming service may include: an SVC content file parser to receive an SVC content file from a streaming server, and to separately extract an SVC network abstraction layer (NAL unit) of a base layer and an SVC NAL unit of a scalable enhancement layer from SVC NAL units that are included in the SVC content file; an SVC NAL selection unit to select an SVC NAL unit corresponding to a client type of each of terminals; and a packet generation unit to transmit the selected SVC NAL unit to a corresponding terminal.
