Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for transmitting a notification message in a mobile broadcast system that includes transmitting common notification message channel information necessary for receiving a common notification message for all users capable of receiving broadcast services, along with an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) for the broadcast services or a control signal for the broadcast services; transmitting specific notification message channel information necessary for receiving a specific notification message for a specific user group to a terminal in the specific user group along with the ESG; generating at least one of the common notification message and the specific notification message; and transmitting the generated notification message to the terminal using the corresponding channel information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for receiving user roaming and service roaming services from a foreign network in a terminal that has moved from a home network to the foreign network in a digital broadcasting system are provided, in which the terminal receives an ESG from a foreign service provider after entering into the foreign network, selects a roaming type between user roaming and service roaming by determining if an intended broadcasting service is provided from the foreign network, referring to the ESG, receives the intended service from the foreign service provider, if the roaming type is the user roaming, and receives the intended service from a home service provider over the foreign network, if the roaming type is the service roaming.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a preview service using an ESG in a digital broadcasting system are provided. Metadata of ongoing broadcasting services are collected. In the presence of preview data for the preview service among the collected metadata, information associated with the preview service is set in a Related Material element included in at least one of a service fragment, a content fragment, and a service bundle fragment in an ESG data model and representing referenced media data. ESG data including the fragments are generated and sent to a terminal.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus for transmitting a frame and a method for controlling the transmission of a frame for strict synchronization. The frame transmission apparatus includes a cycle controller for providing information about a transmission block of the transmission cycle, a transmission multiplexer for multiplexing and outputting synchronous frames and asynchronous frames input thereto through the frame transmission apparatus in one transmission cycle, and a transmission controller for controlling the transmission multiplexer such that total sizes of the multiplexed synchronous frames and asynchronous frames do not exceed a size of one transmission cycle using information about the sizes of the synchronous frames, the sizes of the asynchronous frames, and the transmission block of the transmission cycle provided by the cycle controller.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a time allocation method for a synchronous Ethernet network. The time allocation method for a synchronous Ethernet network including a gateway allocating time based on a cycle including an asynchronous part and a synchronous part and a plurality of network end points connected to the gateway, includes the steps of (a) preparing a plurality of time slots by multi-dividing the synchronous part in one cycle, and (b) allocating each time slot to a plurality of network end points participating in communication in a corresponding cycle in common.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless communication system using visible light and, more particularly, a short-range wireless communication system using a camera sensor module and a flash module mounted on a wireless terminal. The wireless terminal utilizes an LED and a camera sensor selectively for performing camera functions in a wireless terminal and as interface modules for visible light short-range communication.
Abstract:
A multicast transmission method in GEM mode in Gigabit-capable passive optical network and a method of processing frames. The multicast transmission method includes the steps of: (a) setting a multicast connection; and (b) transmitting multicast messages in a GEM mode, wherein said step (a) includes a first sub step (i), in which predetermined ONTs are registered to a multicast group by means of IGMP frames in the first step, and a second sub step (11), in which an OLT assigns a multicast port ID to the multicast group and the ONTs registered to the multicast group. In addition, step (b) includes a first substep (i), in which the OLT assigns a multicast port ID to a message transmitted from a router to the multicast group, and transmits the message, and a second sub-step (ii), in which an ONT, which belongs to the OLT, filters the message, to which the multicast port ID is assigned, by means of a port ID assigned to the ONT.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for providing information used for generating and consuming multimedia content in a broadcast system supporting a multimedia service based on an Internet protocol are provided. The method includes composing a message type field containing information indicating on a type of control information contained in the control message, composing a length field containing information on the length of the control message, composing optional fields having different values according to the type of the control information, and composing a payload field containing content of the control information.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for inserting an advertisement in a broadcasting system based on adaptive streaming. To this end, content related information for advertisement content is generated by an advertisement providing server and a content transmitting server. A client is informed of an update required time of the content related information to receive new content related information from the content transmitting server. Therefore, the advertisement content can be reproduced in a set period.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting adaptive streaming mechanism-based content. Representations, which include content components, are combined into a group. At least two of the group, a representation, and a content component type are combined into a subset. The subset is transmitted.
