@article{ivcc1997, author = "A. Profumo and Venieris, Iakovos S.", abstract = "This paper gives the motivation behind the specification of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards, and describes their system layers' syntactical structure, without considering the audio or video specific coding features. As only the MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) is provided with functionalities similar to those of ATM, a comparative analysis of MPEG-2 TS with respect to ATM is carried out, on the basis of significant performance parameters like jitter and multiplexing efficiency. The paper puts emphasis on the potential of MPEG-2 and ATM to implement the transmission convergence sublayer of large capacity access systems. Signalling, network management, service discrimination, routing and addressing capabilities are investigated.", journal = "Computer Communications", month = "March", note = "Elsevier", number = "2", pages = "106-114", title = "{C}omparative {A}nalysis of {MPEG} and {ATM} {M}ultiplexing {F}unctions for {M}ultimedia {I}nteractive {S}ervices", volume = "20", year = "1997", }
