Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for selectively performing packet error classification of multiple packet streams multiplexed to the same are provided. According to the method, generating an MMT packet can include: encapsulating an AU provided from a media codec layer to generate an MPU; and packetizing the generated MPU to generate the MMT packet. The MMT packet can include a packet header including a substream sequence number. Multiple substreams can be multiplexed and transmitted to a single port, and it is possible to detect, if a packet loss occurs, to which substream the lost packet belongs. Furthermore, based on this, an automatic repeat request (ARQ) can be made differently for each subframe and an error control policy can be taken differently for each subframe.
