Audio-visual Streaming platform for domestic Leisure and Security

Ziel

ASTRALS is a project focused on personalised, scalable, A/V encoding, transcoding/transrating, storage and distribution in existing households via streaming-optimised wireless links. ASTRALS motivation is to implement scalable solutions, which will enable a new beam of innovative A/V products and services including personalised, network aware video adaptation and distribution in multiple heterogeneous terminals (from low-cost PDAs to high-end home cinemas) and intelligent surveillance, utilising an in-home network. ASTRALS envisages a personalised, network agnostic, A/V architecture. A beyond state-of-the art Residential Gateway (RG) enhanced with A/V optimised and broadband wireless extensions will be the centre of ASTRALS home-centred A/V platform.

Without excluding legacy network interfaces, ASTRALS will specify and prototype a streaming-optimised, IEEE 802.16 based, wireless platform as the major in-home distribution medium. MIMO and mesh technologies will provide for efficient home coverage and ad-hoc networking, with minimal administration requirements. In parallel, the RG will provide enhancements for A/V scalable/personalised encoding, transcoding, storage and distribution based on user/services profiles, content and network conditions. H.264 AVC and SVC, A/V transcoding/transrating and erosion-featured storage derived from personalised preferences, will be provided on a specialized fully programmable A/V platform.

Moreover, content media adaptation and efficient transmission based on feedback from the wireless MAC and network layer will be implemented and validated. ASTRALS will eventually provide citizens with the means to build new personalized, A/V user-centric services (entertainment, healthcare, e-learning, home surveillance), improving their quality of life, entertainment and safety. As ASTRALS validation, an Intelligent in-home Surveillance platform will be designed and validated in a modern eHome testbed.
