1、STD-SMPTE 325M-ENGL 3774 = 8357403 0003877 27T SMPTE STANDARD for Digital Television - Opportunistic Data Broadcast Flow Control SMPTE 325M-I 999 1 Scope This standard defines the flow control protocol to be used between an emission multiplexer and data server for opportunistic data broadcast. Oppor

2、tunistic data broadcast inserts data packets into the output multi- plex to fill any available free bandwidth. The emission multiplexer maintains a buff er from which it draws data to be inserted. The multiplexer will request additional MPEG-2 transport packets from the data server as its buffer bec

3、omes depleted. The number of packets requested depends upon the implementation, with the most stringent requirement being requesting a single MPEG-2 transport packet where the request and delivery can occur in less than the emission time of an MPEG-2 transport packet from the muhiplexer. This protoc

4、ol is designed to be extensible and provide a basis for low-latency, real-time backchannel com- munications from the emission multiplexer. Encapsulated in MPEG-2 transport packets, the messages of the flow control protocol are transmitted via MPEG-2 DSM-CC sections, following the message format defi

5、ned in ISOAEC 13818-6, chapter 2. Such sections provide the capability to support error correction or error detection (or to ignore either). 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions, which through reference in this text constitute provisions of this standard.

40、ted in figure A.1. Within an emission station, one or more data servers are providing broadcast data (contained within MPEG-2 trans- port packets, with appropriate protocol encapsulations) to an emission multiplexer. A real-time control path is available from the emission multiplexer to the data ser

41、ver for flow control messages. Opportunistic data broadcast will attempt to fill any bandwidth available in the emission multiplex with broadcast data on a nearly instantaneous basis. The emis- sion multiplexer is in control of the opportunistic broadcast, since it is aware of the instantaneous gaps

42、 in the multiplex. The operational model is that the emission multiplexer would maintain an internal buffer from which it could draw MPEG-2 data packets to insert into the emission multiplex as the opportunity arose. As the buffer emptied, the mux would request a number of packets from the data serv

43、er to maintain buffer fullness over the control path. These data packets would be delivered over the data path. To avoid buffer overflow problems (should the data server be delayed in servicing the packet request), the following conventions are recommended: 1) the data server should not queue reques

44、ts for a given service (that is, a new request will displace one that has not been acted upon), and 2) the emission multiplexer should request no more than half of its buffer size at a time. While near-term implementations are likely to utilize at least a moderate sized buffer and request a signific

45、ant number of packets each time, future-proofing should require the capa- bility to handle the most stringent case, which is requests of single MPEG-2 transport packets, where the request can be made and satisfied within the time required to emit one transport packet from the mux. Support for multip

46、le opportunistic streams (multiple data servers, multiple opportunistic broadcasts from a single server) is provided by utilizing the MPEG-2 transport header PID as a session identifier. The mapping from PID number to physical resource shall be done during the provisioning process. I I r_l_ - 1-1 i Flow Control I H Figure A.l - Opportunistic flow control environment Page 6 of 6 pages
