    摘要: Messaging protocols for use between components of an interactive program guide (IPG) delivery system. The protocol provides a way to more efficiently utilize the finite bandwidth available for distribution of IPG video sequences. One embodiment comprises messaging protocols for communication between a session manager (702), a transport stream generator (704), and a set top terminal (706). The protocol for communication from the Transport stream generator (704) to the set top terminal (706) specifies content for a demand-cast index table that may be transmitted within a private section of a MPEG transport stream. This includes a list of available demand-cast streams. The protocol for communication from the set top terminal (706) to the session manager (702) includes acquisition, release, and request messages. The protocol for communication from the session manager (702) to the transport stream generator (704) includes stream release, stream request, and reset messages, and the protocol for communication from the transport stream generator (704) to the session manager (702) includes acknowledgements for those messages.
