Chapter 5 standards for multimedia communications • 5.1 Introduction • 5.2 reference models • 5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications • 5.4 Standards relating to interactive applications over the internet • 5.5 standards for entertainment applications
5.1 introduction • In this chapter we present an overview of the standards that have been defined for use with multimedia communication • A reference model is used for defined the various standards
5.2 reference models • The standards associated with the three types of application,show in figure5.1 • The functionality of each set of standards is as follows: • Application standards • Network interface standards • Internal network standards
5.2 reference models-5.2.1 • Tcp/ip reference model (figure 5.2) • Physical layer • Link layer • Network layer • Transport layer • Application layer
5.2 reference models-5.2.2 • Protocol basics • The protocol to be used at each layer is chosen to meet the needs of a particular application/network combination • Protocol control information(PCI) • Protocol data unit(PDU) • Show figure 5.3
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.1 circuit-mode networks • Circuit-mode network is show in figure 5.4 • Network interface standard • Transport layer • Multiplexer / demultiplexer • System control application • Audio and video codecs • Multipoint communications service(MCS)
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.1 circuit-mode networks-cont • H.320 • The H.320 standard is intended for use in end systems that support a range of multimedia application over an ISDN • Audio:G.711,G.722,G.728 • Video:H.261 • User data:T.120 • System control/call setup:Q.391 • Multiplexing:H.221
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.1 circuit-mode networks-cont • H.324 • Over bit rate switched networks such as a PSTN • Video:H.261,H.263 • Audio:G.723.1,G.729 • User data:T.120 • Multiplexing • Total channel bandwidth is divided into a number of separate logical channels • Bit-oriented protocol ,the principles of which are shown in figure 5.5
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.1 circuit-mode networks-cont • Adaptation • In order to allow for the possibility of transmission errors being present in the received byte stream associated with each logical channel • The adaptation layer supports three difference schemes-AL1,2 and 3 • Multipoint conferencing:H.324 • System control :h.245 is concerned with the overall control of the end system
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.1 circuit-mode networks-cont • H.321/H.310 • Intended for use with terminals that provide a range of multimedia application over a B-ISDN • H.322 • Intended for use with end systems that support interpersonal communication applications over a local area network(LAN)
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.2 packet-switched networks • H.323 • Attached either to the same LAN or to different LANs • H.323 is intended for use with LANs that provide a non-guaranteed QoS • Figure 5.6 show structure
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.2 packet-switched networks-cont • Audio and video coding • Audio codec:either G.711 or G.728 • Video codec:either H.261 or H.263 • Call setup:H.323 gatekeeper can be used • Figure 5.7 two-party call setup procedure using an h.323 gatekeeper • Figure 5.8 H.323 multiplexing/ demultiplexing
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.2 packet-switched networks-cont • Interworking • End system that are attached to a circuit-mode network is achieved. This is through H.323 gateway • Figure 5.9
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.2 packet-switched networks-cont • IETF • Early IETF provided a basic two-party telephony service between two IP hosts • Later IETF provided a more versatile facility supporting both multiparty conferencing and broadcast services • Signaling protocol • Session initiation protocol (SIP) • Sip provides services for user location,call establishment,and call participation management
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.2 packet-switched networks-cont • Session description protocol(SDP) • When a user is invited to join in a call/session
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.3 electronic mail • Internet mail • Figure 5.10 email over the internet • User agent(UA) • Message transfer agent(MTA) • Message store(MS) • Simple mail transfer protocol(SMTP) • Domain name server(DNS)
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.3 electronic mail-cont • MIME(multipurpose internet mail extensions) • RFC 822:email messages are written in English and are made up of just ASCII characters • Extensions to the basic format defined in RFC 822 were added.these are defined in RFC 2045 and are known as MIME
5.3 standards relating to interpersonal communications-5.3.3 electronic mail-cont • e-mail gateways • Show figure 5.11 • Two problem: • Format of the mail message is often different • The application protocol are also different • To overcome these problems,a device known as an email gateway is used,show figure 5.12
5.4 standards relating to interactive applications over the internet-5.4.1 information browsing • Figure 5.13 show information browsing
5.4 standards relating to interactive applications over the internet-5.4.2 electronic commerce • To send detail of your credit card in order to purchase • Figure 5.15 electronic commerce • Common gateway interface(CGI) • security
5.4 standards relating to interactive applications over the internet-5.4.3 intermediate systems • Communication between the client and server is achieved through a networking device • Show figure 5.16 • Security gateway • Packet filtering • Proxy server
5.4 standards relating to interactive applications over the internet-5.4.4 Java and JavaScript • Figure 5.17 • Applet • Virtual machine • Bytecode • Javascript • Embed java code into an HTML page directly
5.5 standards for entertainment applications –5.5.1 Movie/video-on-demand • Transmission format (figure 5.18) • Elementary streams • Packetized ES (PES) • System time clock(STC) • Pack • System clock reference(SRC)
