摘要:
In a multimedia streaming network where a client has a receiver buffer to store a plurality of packets received from a server so as to compensate for the difference between data transmission amount by the server and data usage amount by the client, the server should be able to adapt the data transmission rate based on the status of the receiver buffer. For rate adaptation purposes, server reconstructs a list of packets in the receiver buffer based on information provided by the client. The information signaled to the server is indicative of the next unit to be decoded and the sequence number of the packet to which the next unit to be decoded belongs.

In a multimedia streaming network where a client has a receiver buffer to store a plurality of packets received from a server so as to compensate for the difference between data transmission amount by the server and data usage amount by the client, the server should be able to adapt the data transmission rate based on the status of the receiver buffer. For rate adaptation purposes, server reconstructs a list of packets in the receiver buffer based on information provided by the client. The information signaled to the server is indicative of the next packet to be decoded in the client. The information can be the sequence number of the next packet to be decoded, the DON number of the next NAL unit to be decoded, or the sequence number of the packet carrying the next NAL unit to be decoded and the DON indicative of the decoding order of that next NAL unit.

This invention relates to a method, a computer program, a computer program product, a system, a sender, a receiver and a session description protocol for transmitting common data from one sender (902) to a plurality of receivers (901) within a transmission session, comprising communicating (802) at least one session parameter, which is related to said transmission of said common data within said transmission session, to said plurality of receivers (901) via a communication protocol; and transmitting said common data from said sender (902) to said plurality of receivers (901) within said transmission session. The invention particularly relates to broadcast/multicast transmission of common data in a wire-bound and/or wireless network, wherein a File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport FLUTE protocol is used.

A method, system, device and software code product are disclosed which provide efficient multicast/broadcast distribution of formatted data. Formatted data can comprise metadata and content (media data) and several embodiment of the inventions disclose retransmitting the metadata in order to increase the reliability of the file distribution by increasing the chances that the metadata is received without error. In addition, embodiments of the invention disclose scheduling transmission of data packets of formatted data so that the metadata packets are transmitted at an earlier time location than they occur in the original formatted data file to decrease latency in file playback.

摘要:
A method for improving a cooperation between a packetized data bit-rate adaptation and a data packet re-transmission transmits data packets from a server to a client with a first bit-rate; stores transmitted data packets in a server buffer; stores transmitted data packets in a client buffer; signals impairment information related to an impairment of transmitted data packets during transmitting to the server, wherein the signaled impairment information is analyzed by the server to decide if a re-transmission of data packets stored in the server buffer is required; and signals client buffer information related to a state of the client buffer to the server, wherein the client buffer information is analyzed by the server to decide if a re-transmission of data packets is required.

摘要:
A method used for communicating packets or other information units from a server (11) to a client (15) over a communication path including a packet scheduler (14-1) followed by a bottleneck path (14-2), with the packet scheduler (14-1) having a buffer for holding packets so as not to transmit over the bottleneck path (14-2) at a rate either too high or too low, the method providing that the server (11) communicate to the client (15) sender information indicating the last packet sent to the client (11) by the server (11) and do so via a mechanism by which the sender information is communicated over the bottleneck path (14-2) ahead of substantially all packets already in the buffer. The client (11) then uses the sender information to provide, as needed, information useful in adapting the rate at which the packets arrive at the packet scheduler (14-1)

The systems and methods include scalable feedback during point-to-multicast (PtM) streaming sessions with user feedback during a broadcast/multicast streaming session. The method of providing scalable feedback during PtM streaming sessions can include communicating data from a sender to at least one receiver and communicating feedback from at least one of the at least one receiver to the sender during a multimedia streaming session.
摘要:
Methods, systems, transmitters, receivers, network elements and software applications in a system for acknowledging the reception of sets of data objects, wherein one or more transmitters transmit one or more sets of data objects within respective point-to-multipoint transmission sessions to a plurality of receivers, and wherein repair requests and/or delivery verification reports are transmitted by at least one of said receivers to network elements within point-to-point transmission sessions. Different back-off times are assigned for delivery verification reports and repair requests, at least two delivery verification reports of one receiver are jointly transmitted within one point-to-point transmission session, and a delivery verification report is transmitted after a completed repair session within the same point-to-point transmission session used by the repair session. Furthermore, a minimum set of parameters to be sent in delivery verification reports is shown.
