Abstract

Recently as the studies on the combined delivery over multiple transmission media are progressed, studies using MMT which is next-generation multimedia transport standard are underway. They are about transmitting video data layered by SHVC through broadcasting network and communication network based on MMT. However, it is difficult to serve synchronized UHD contents in heterogeneous network environment based on MMT, because MMT standard doesn't fully specify the information to indicate the relationship between media. Also, the service that we want to propose in this paper is a broadcasting-based service such as terrestrial broadcasting. Therefore the user must be able to watch various contents continuously. However, the MMT PI(Presentation Information) that controls the spatio-temporal layout of a content has been described as providing only one content. In this paper, we propose the structure of MXD document and MMT PI to provide continuous UHD contents service based on heterogeneous network.

최근 매체 결합에 대한 연구가 진행됨에 따라 차세대 멀티미디어 전송 표준인 MMT를 기반으로 SHVC로 계층화된 비디오 데이터를 방송망과 통신망을 통해 전송하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 현재 이기종망 환경에서 MMT를 기반으로 동기화된 UHD 콘텐츠를 서비스하기에는 MMT 표준 내에 미디어간의 연관관계를 나타내는 정보가 부족하여 장면구성 정보 구현상의 어려움이 있다. 또한 본 논문에서 제공하고자 하는 서비스는 지상파와 같이 방송을 기반으로 하는 서비스이기 때문에 사용자는 여러 콘텐츠를 연속적으로 시청을 할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 콘텐츠의 시 공간적 레이아웃을 제어하는 MMT PI(Presentation Information)에는 단일 콘텐츠를 제공하는 방안에 대해 기술되어 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이기종망을 기반으로 연속적인 UHD 콘텐츠 서비스가 가능하도록 MXD 문서와 MMT PI의 구조를 제안한다.
