Abstract:
Disclosed is a method by which a multimedia device processes a multimedia packet. To this end, a multimedia packet, which comprises a header including a type information field having type information recorded therein, and a payload including data of a type indicated by the type information, is received, and, when it is recognized that null data is not included in the payload by the type information, the data included in the payload may be processed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and method for transmitting or receiving media resource identification (MRI) information for managing traffic of a service in a communication system. A method for transmitting information associated with content provision in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: acquiring content configuration information and transmission scheme information for a content; generating media resource identification information including scheduling information and the transmission scheme information according to each content type on the basis of the content configuration information and the transmission scheme information; and transmitting the media resource identification information.
Abstract:
A transmitting apparatus is provided. The transmitting apparatus includes: a baseband packet (BBP) generator configured to generate a BBP including a header and payload data; a frame generator configured to generate a frame including the BBP; a signal processor configured to signal-process the generated frame; and a transmitter configured to transmit the signal-processed frame. The header includes information about a type of the payload data, whether an additional header exists, a length of the payload data, and a Least Significant Bit (LSB) of the length of the payload data. Therefore, various types of data are mapped on a physical layer based on information included in the header, and data processing efficiency is improved.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for encoding, transmitting, and receiving signaling information in a broadcasting/communication system are provided. The method includes generating the signaling information which comprises a plurality of pieces; determining a number of coded blocks to which the signaling information is to be encoded, based on a number of bits of the signaling information and a number of encoder input information bit; segmenting each piece of the signaling information based on the number of the coded blocks; constructing input information bits of each coded block to include segmented parts of each piece of the signaling information; encoding the input information bits to each coded block; and transmitting each coded block.
Abstract:
A method is provided for transmitting an Application Layer-Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) packet by an AL-FEC packet transmission apparatus in a multimedia communication system. AL-FEC packets are generated. The AL-FEC packets are transmitted to an AL-FEC packet reception apparatus. Each of the AL-FEC packets includes an AL-FEC codeword symbol and an AL-FEC header, and the AL-FEC codeword symbol is one of AL-FEC codeword symbols included in an AL-FEC codeword block. The AL-FEC header includes order information indicating an order of an AL-FEC codeword symbol into which the AL-FEC header is inserted among the AL-FEC codeword symbols included in the AL-FEC codeword block.
Abstract:
A method for encoding a packet in a broadcasting system supporting an Internet Protocol (IP)-based multimedia service is provided. The method includes dividing a data stream into data payloads, generating a Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Media Transport (MMT) packet by adding a first header to each of the data payloads, and generating a source packet by adding an MMT packet header to the MMT packet and performing Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding on the header-added MMT packet. The MMT packet header includes type information of the MMT packet.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for channel coding in a communication system using a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code. The method includes determining degrees for each of a plurality of column groups of an information part; determining a shortening order based on the degrees; generating a parity check matrix based on the shortening order; and performing coding using the parity check matrix.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a packet by a signal transmission apparatus in a broadcasting and communication system is provided. The method includes generating a Forward Error Correction (FEC) packet including an FEC parity packet and an FEC source packet by encoding source payloads using an FEC encoding scheme, and transmitting the FEC packet to a signal reception apparatus, wherein the FEC parity packet is generated using a plurality of Source Sub-Blocks (SSBs) which are generated using specific source payloads selected corresponding to a preset SSB generation scheme from among the source payloads included in a source block, and wherein the FEC source packet is generated using the source payloads.
