Home networks
Networking of the various kinds of home appliance is one of the most promising research areas. Although the concept of home networks has been discussed for quite a long time, but the development and deployment of the network system and network-able equipments are still on the way.We have developed some home networking technology like interconnecting architecture, bridges for heterogeneous communication systems, and controlling mechanism for legacy home appliances. We also have contributed for standardization of the home networking architecture.
Next generation streaming system
Today, the Internet streaming is one of the most popular network applications. Audio and video data are transmitted over the packet network and some applications are of radio broadcasting and telephone systems are migrating to the computer network systems.We are developing a next generation streaming system which can deal with 3D volume data as well as 2D pictures and sounds. This theme includes 3D video codec and encapsulation technology, and synchronization of the multiple streams as well as the signaling and resource management technology.
