ITU-T Y.1991 (03/2010) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication

9、Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of 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 question

10、s and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing 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

11、 these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by 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 Recommendation, the

12、expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g., interoperability or appli

13、cability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with t

14、he Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicab

15、ility of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implemen

16、t this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

20、rk relevant to providing a general understanding of IPTV. This Recommendation is not simply a compendium of terms and definitions. The primary purpose of this Recommendation is to provide a context for the use of certain terms and definitions to avoid misunderstandings in IPTV and IPTV-related activ

21、ities. Thus, the definitions are arranged in a specific order and certain necessary relationships are illustrated. This Recommendation uses terms and definitions, which are considered particularly suitable and applicable to IPTV work and that have already been defined in published ITU-T Recommendati

22、ons. 2 References None. 3 Terms and definitions Not applicable. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviation: IPTV Internet Protocol Television 5 Conventions There are no specific conventions in this Recommendation. 6 IPTV definition 6.1 IPTV b-ITU-T Y.1901: Multi
