26、RAND SACONNEX (Geneva) Switzerland Tel: +41 22 717 21 11 Fax: +41 22 717 24 81 The Digital Video Broadcasting Project (DVB) is an industry-led consortium of broadcasters, manufacturers, network operators, software developers, regulatory bodies, content owners and others committed to designing global
27、 standards for the delivery of digital television and data services. DVB fosters market driven solutions that meet the needs and economic circumstances of broadcast industry stakeholders and consumers. DVB standards cover all aspects of digital television from transmission through interfacing, condi
28、tional access and interactivity for digital video, audio and data. The consortium came together in 1993 to provide global standardisation, interoperability and future proof specifications. Introduction As IPTV systems are deployed, improvements in the technologies used for home networking result in
29、users expecting to be able to distribute their incoming TV services within the home environment, while that network is also carrying a range of other traffic. There might therefore be contention for resources and variations in the ability to transfer any specific stream of data reliably and consiste
30、ntly. The impact of timing variations and reduced resource availability frequently has the effect of reducing the presented quality of audiovisual media. We can express end users perspective of the Quality of Experience (QoE) as a measure of how well the combination of networks and services is satis
31、fying their requirements. QoE involves not only the transport behaviour but also the end-to-end connection and the applications that are currently running over that connection. For attracting and satisfying customers the service provider takes care of the Quality of Service (QoS) in order to keep th
32、e QoE as high as possible. QoS deals with the actual network operating conditions. The available tools are used to classify service components and media in terms of quality, to monitor the continuity of service levels, to evaluate aberrations, to control service and media flows as well as to provide
33、 information on quality related aspects to devices concerned. ETSI ETSI TS 102 685 V1.1.1 (2010-01)6Currently, the state of the art relies on classifying packets on a per-stream basis and prioritizing one stream type over another. This has the effect of ensuring that high-priority packets get throug
34、h at the expense of lower priority stream types (although this prioritization might not match the end-users view of relative importance of a particular service) and all streams of a particular type might be impacted if the aggregate network demand exceeds capacity. Ultimately, this could well mean t
35、hat the requisite QoS is not delivered in accordance with the requirements and contractual obligations of the service provider. The requirements collected in the present document focus on the quality aspects of home networks while taking into account the end-to-end delivery of a service from the acc
36、ess network through the home network gateway device up to the client device. Nevertheless, these requirements may also influence networks and devices outside the home network. Additionally, the services delivered in the home network may include both DVB and non-DVB services. As their simultaneous us
37、age may affect the performance of each other, the QoS mechanisms to be developed should also consider delivering an appropriate service quality to DVB services in the presence of non-DVB services, and to non DVB services in the presence of DVB services. For these reasons, in the present document we
38、establish a new framework for a higher order of QoS management within the home network and introduce some approaches for supporting that management in an attempt to move beyond current approaches to QoS. We have covered a number of technical requirements for such a system and are issuing the documen
39、t to solicit responses with technologies to meet the requirements so that a formal specification can be developed for a better Home Network QoS mechanism. This framework should enable home networks to develop where the QoS system can attempt to maintain the QoE within the HN. ETSI ETSI TS 102 685 V1
40、.1.1 (2010-01)71 Scope The present document presents the high-level QoS requirements for the Home Network (HN) for the carriage of DVB services. DVB believes that, without further action, home networks will not provide the level of QoS required to deliver IPTV services to users reliably, and therefo
41、re, there is a need for developing a QoS mechanism that will improve the reliability of delivery of (streamed) content through the HN as much as possible. In the present document an agreed set of high-level technical requirements for QoS is defined that can be used as input to the relevant technical
42、 groups and organizations for the development of such QoS mechanisms. Although this work has been done within DVB, primarily with the DVB Home Network in mind, it is applicable to any IP-based home network. The DVB QoS requirements will address especially the situation where the home network is bit
43、rate constrained and may be operating close to its maximum capacity, meaning that the addition of further loading can adversely affect all the services flowing through the HN. The ability to manage the services within the HN is essential to give service providers confidence that subscription and pre
44、mium content will be correctly delivered to the user through the HN. Furthermore, since DVB expects that more advanced QoS capabilities will be required for the reliable carriage of future DVB services across home networks, it is important to determine the QoS requirements now. However, the solution
45、 developed must allow a progressive evolution with backward compatibility with current QoS methods and practices and forward compatibility to the full QoS specification derived from the requirements of the present document. DVB assumes that other standards bodies such as DLNA, HGI and DSLF will prov
46、ide the QoS solution. Therefore, DVB will contribute the present document towards DLNA and other Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) and consortia in order to contribute to the process leading to a satisfactory QoS solution for the carriage of DVB service to and within the home. In principle
47、the DVB QoS requirements will only take into account the HN i.e. QoS requirements for the Access Network (AN) are out of scope, because there is a diverse variety of AN types and each AN or service provider has its own (proprietary) implementation. Furthermore, the AN is currently considered as bein
48、g professionally managed, while it is likely that this may not be true for the HN. In this sense the QoS requirements for the HN are considered to be more important than for the AN. Therefore, the focus of the present document will be on the development of technical QoS requirements for the HN but w
49、here necessary the AN will be taken into account, to achieve a seamless transition for DVB content services from the AN into the HN. The foundation for the high-level QoS requirements is formed by: A number of use cases identified for defining the QoS requirements. The DVB commercial requirements for the HN. The work done in the DVB HN work on reference model. In an effort to maintain alignment as far as possible with DLNA the work of the DLNA CSPR QoS “Tiger Team“ has been reviewed. It is recognized that the QoS management described in the present document attemp
