S502, terminal 1 will be carried out compressed encoding through the media data flow after the grouping.
S503, the multi-path media data flow after the described grouping is divided into groups to describe.
The multi-path media data flow divided into groups to describe following three kinds of modes:
Mode one media data flow or with the corresponding bearer path of media data flow in carry grouping and describe.
For example, can carry grouping in the extended head of RTP or the media data flow describes.Particularly, can in the extended head of RTP or extended field in the media data flow or specific fields, fill the group feature.
For example, fill the grouping description field, have the rtp streaming that same packets is described, be same group at the extended head (RTP Header Extension) of RTP.Perhaps, can also in corresponding bearer path, identification packet describe, for example, in the data (payload) of RTP, carry out field extension, increase grouping and describe.
Extended head that in addition can also self-defined RTP, and in self-defining extended head, carry grouping and describe.
Also can realize carrying of grouping description in the SIP/SDP communication by in RTP, identifying.
Mode two is carried the grouping descriptor in the control protocol relevant with Media Stream.Particularly, can fill the group feature in the extended field in control protocol.
With standard H.323 is example, each Media Stream all can distribute corresponding session id (sessionID), so just can be by being the session that each session id designated packet describes association to be correlated with, such as in opening logical channel (OpenLogicalChannel) message, expand a grouping description field, be used for filling grouping and describe, as following definition:

Wherein groupID is the grouping description field of expansion, is used for filling grouping and describes.
Mode three increases in media data flow carries the control messages that corresponding packets of media data is described.Particularly, in each described control messages, define the group feature, in the message body of described control messages, comprised at least one Media Stream that belongs to same grouping.
For example, increase a control messages, it is same grouping that this message is used to notify which media data of opposite end.Suppose grouping L1 video, audio frequency, the session logical channel number (LCN) of data service data be respectively 1,2,3, then transmit a message GroupIndication, comprise logical channel number (LCN) 1,2 in this message, 3, receiving terminal is same group according to the media data of this message decision logic channel number 1,2,3 like this.
When adopting the SIP/SDP agreement to carry out multimedia communication, that also can realize by the mode of a plurality of sessions of employing (session) dividing into groups to describe carries.For example:
v=0
o=mhandley?2890844526?2890842807?IN?IP4?126.16.64.4
s=P1
...
m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?0
m=video?51372?RTP/AVP?31
m=application?32416?udp?wb
v=0
o=mhandley?2890844526?2890842807?IN?IP4?126.16.64.4
s=P2
...
m=audio?49171?RTP/AVP?0
m=video?51373?RTP/AVP?31
m=application?32417?udp?wb
Wherein, session P1 (S=P1) is corresponding to grouping L1, and session P2 (S=P1) comprises audio frequency, video and application data stream respectively corresponding to grouping L2.
Can certainly grouping be described by increasing an attribute, for example:
v=0
m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?0
m=video?51372?RTP/AVP?31
m=application?32416?udp?wb
m=audio?49171?RTP/AVP?0
m=video?51373?RTP/AVP?31
m=application?32417?udp?wb
...
g=49170?51372?32416
g=49171?51373?32417
With port 49170,51372,32416 corresponding media datas are divided into one group, by g=49171 51,373 32417 the corresponding media data of 49171,51373,32417 ports are divided into other one group by g=49170 51,372 32416 these explanations.
In addition, also can describe, increase and divide group profile to realize grouping by direct extended medium, for example:
v=0
m=audio?49170?RTP/AVP?0?group1
m=video?51372?RTP/AVP?31?group1
m=application?32416?udp?wb?group1
m=audio?49171?RTP/AVP?0?group2
m=video?51373?RTP/AVP?31?group2
m=application?32417?udp?wb?group2
...
