From the end-users perspective, use cases have been categorized by distributed content services, interactive ser
8、vices, communication services, etc. Source Supplement 5 to ITU-T Y-series Recommendations was agreed on 22 May 2008 by ITU-T Study Group 13 (2005-2008). ii Y series Supplement 5 (05/2008) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field o
9、f telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
10、telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by
11、the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this publication, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a
12、 telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this publication is voluntary. However, the publication may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the publication is achieved when all of these m

27、ement, there are no specific conventions. 6 IPTV service descriptions and use cases This clause provides descriptions and use cases of various IPTV services, which are not exhaustive. It is categorized by their service characteristics from the end-users perspective. 6.1 Distributed content services
28、6.1.1 Broadcast services Broadcast services comprise a one-way transmission of content from one point (the source) to two or more points (the receivers). The end-user has no control over the content or timing of what he or she receives, apart from the ability to select a particular channel. 6.1.1.1
29、Linear TV Linear TV is a broadcast service that is the same as the conventional form of television services that are provided by cable, terrestrial and direct-to-the-home satellite operators, where the programme content is transmitted according to a defined schedule and is intended for real-time con
30、sumption by the end-user. The service, therefore, provides an essentially continuous stream flowing from the content provider to the terminal device located in the end-user network. Y series Supplement 5 (05/2008) 3 Linear TV includes (but is not necessarily limited to) the following approaches: Lin
31、ear TV with audio and video: Audio and video (A/V) signals are broadcasted and distributed to the downlink without end-user control of the broadcast. Audio only: Audio signals are broadcasted and distributed to the downlink without end-user control of the broadcast. Linear TV with audio, video, and
32、data: These A/V services are combined with interactive data for the related or supplementary information of A/V programs using bi-directional links. The end-user can watch the downlink A/V stream and can simultaneously access more detailed or value-added information via the uplink. Figure 6-1 shows
33、an example of a linear TV service with client PVR. Figure 6-1 Example of linear TV with client PVR Figure 6-2 shows a use case of linear TV service. Figure 6-2 Use case of linear TV 4 Y series Supplement 5 (05/2008) 1) Contents (video, audio, data, etc.) with related metadata and content protection
34、(CP) data are produced and managed by the content provider, and are delivered to the service provider. 2) The service provider then formats the data prepared by the content provider into IP packets, and controls the program schedule and distribution. Then, the scheduled channel information is provid
35、ed to the end-users, indicating the content is ready for consumption. 3) When an end-user wants to access the linear TV service or selects a channel, the request is sent to the service provider. This procedure may include service negotiation (e.g., QoS, price, etc.) and service availability confirma
36、tion procedures. 4) If the end-user is granted access to the linear TV service, the service provider interacts with the network provider to transmit the requested content. This procedure may include reserving and allocating network resources to guarantee the contracted service level. 5) Upon complet
37、ion of step 4, the service provider supplies channel access information (e.g., the multicast address assigned to the requested channel) to the end-user. Then he or she can access and watch the channel. 6.1.1.2 Linear TV with trick mode Linear TV with trick mode enables the end-user to pause linear T
38、V. For the ability to skip content and for other capabilities (e.g., instant replay), the use of PVR is required. The personal video recorder (PVR) provides capability of end-user-controlled electronic device that records Linear TV and stores it in a digital storage facility, either in stand-alone s
39、et-top boxes or in the network. This capability can support “time-shifting“, “trick modes“, and complementary convenience functions, such as programming and remote control by PDA, networked PC, or web browser. Figure 6-3 shows a use case of a linear TV service with trick mode: Figure 6-3 Use case of
40、 linear TV with trick mode Y series Supplement 5 (05/2008) 5 Steps 1 to 5 are the same as those depicted in Figure 6-2. 6a) When the end-users IPTV terminal has its own storage capability and the end-user requests any trick mode function, the programmed content is recorded by the storage function an
41、d may be displayed later according to the end-users selection or the constraints provided by the content protection metadata. 6b) If the end-user requests the trick mode service without any local storage capability (e.g., embedded in his or her IPTV terminal), then the programmed content is recorded
42、 in the storage facility managed by the service provider. The selected content can then be displayed later by the end-user, according to the constraints provided by the content protection metadata. 6.1.1.3 Pay per view Pay per view (PPV) is a streaming service where end-users can purchase events or
43、programs to be seen on IPTV terminal device. The user can buy the PPV service, e.g., via an on-screen guide, a telephone, or through the Internet, and see the brought events or programs at any time within the expiration date. Order-ahead PPV (OPPV): The ability to order PPV programming ahead of time
44、. Impulse PPV (IPPV): The ability to order PPV programming impulsively. 6.1.1.4 Electronic program guide (EPG) An electronic program guide (EPG) is an on-screen guide to scheduled programs. It contains additional descriptive information, and enables a viewer to navigate, select and discover content
45、by time, title, channel, genre, etc., by using a remote control, keyboard, touchpad or even phone keypad. Generally, an EPG can be displayed in several layouts, such as mosaic EPG, box EPG, text EPG, mini EPG, tree EPG, etc., possibly depending on the service providers business model. Traditionally,
46、 in broadcast services, EPG service has been provided to enable end-users to easily browse television or live video content listings in an effort to easily find and select television content to view and/or record. According to todays typical use of the EPG service, an EPG is an on-screen guide used
47、to display scheduled broadcast television programs, allowing a viewer to navigate, select, and discover content by time, title, channel, genre, etc. In the future, IPTV services will support an EPG that will display all available content. In other service offerings detailed in this supplement, an EP
48、G is not relevant. On-demand services may use some form of content catalogue to enable easy browsing and selection of content, but this is not live content and an EPG would not be used in this “catalogue“ type of scenario. Also, an EPG may be an end-user interactive service, but it is not a bidirect
49、ional interactive service for end-user interaction with a server or headend. Figure 6-4 shows a use case of EPG service. 6 Y series Supplement 5 (05/2008) Figure 6-4 Use case of EPG 1) The content provider delivers the content to the service provider. 2) The end-user turns on the user terminal. 3) The service providers IPTV application retrieves the available service list for the user according to the service user profile. 4) The IPTV application delivers the list of available services and content to the en
