Description

TCP-based multicast channel fast switching system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of IPTV, in particular to a system and a method for rapidly switching multicast channels based on TCP.
Background
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, i.e., a reliable connection must be established with the other party before data can be transmitted and received. UDP is a connectionless communication protocol.
RTP is used to transport real-time data in unicast or multicast networks, and the main functions of RTCP are: monitoring and feedback of quality of service, synchronization between media. RTCP packets are transmitted periodically during an RTP session. The RTCP packets contain statistics about the number of transmitted packets, the number of lost packets, etc., so the server can use these statistics to dynamically change the transmission rate or increase the retransmission mechanism. RTP is used in conjunction with RTCP, which is also transported in UDP, and it is only some control information encapsulated in RTCP, which is a common mechanism implemented by the industry quickly.
The network port capability of the IPTV set-top box is 100M, operation data shows that when the network port of the set-top box receives UDP data, packet loss occurs when the network port exceeds 37M, but when TCP communication is carried out, the transmission capability of the network port of the set-top box can reach 80M. RTP/RTCP is essentially a UDP protocol.
With the introduction of a 4K channel or a high-bit-rate high-definition channel, the bit stream is usually about 20-30M, and when the channel is played, if it is expected that effective video data can be acquired within 500ms, the requirement of acquiring data quickly can be met only by using twice the transmission speed of the channel bit stream. The RTP/RTCP fast switching communication protocol is used, the transmission flow is as high as 40-60M, the set top box cannot bear the transmission flow, packet loss retransmission is used at the time, frosting is not caused on snow, and the network burden of the box is further increased.
The reasons for slow channel switching of multicast channels include the following:
i frame latency: the player must take the I-frame video data to begin playing. The interval of the multicast channel I frame in the broadcasting and television field is generally 1 second, the broadcasting starting time is 1 second, if the I frame is just past, the next I frame can be received after waiting for 1 second, and the waiting time is between 1ms and 999 ms;
multicast delay: after initiating a request for joining a multicast group, a client generally needs 80ms-200ms to receive multicast data;
player launch data Window: the data is generally set to be 500ms, and if the data is too short, a micro-card situation occurs when the video is played.
The total waiting time is 581 ms-1679 ms by integrating the three links
The introduction of the multicast fast-switching cache server can save the waiting time of the three links to be compressed within 200 ms.

Detailed Description
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that they are described herein for the purpose of illustration and explanation and not limitation.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a TCP-based multicast channel fast switching system according to the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the TCP-based multicast channel fast switching system according to the present invention includes a multicast preprocessing forwarding server 10, a multicast fast switching cache server 20, and a multicast receiving client 30, wherein,
the multicast preprocessing forwarding server 10 is responsible for receiving source multicast signals and preprocessing the received multicast channel data, so as to facilitate the fast identification of the multicast fast switching cache server 20 or the multicast receiving client 30. In the invention, the multicast preprocessing forwarding server 10 preprocesses the received multicast channel data, i.e. identifies the received multicast channel data by an I-frame, so that the multicast fast switching cache server 20 or the multicast receiving client 30 can quickly identify the initial position of the I-frame. The preprocessed multicast channel data (the multicast channel data identified by the I frame) is sent to the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 and the multicast receiving client 30 in a multicast form.
A multicast fast-switching cache server 20, which joins in the multicast group of all live channels, receives multicast channel data after the I-frame identification sent by the multicast preprocessing forwarding server 10, identifies the starting position of the I-frame, stores video data as a video data unit from the current I-frame to the next I-frame into a corresponding I-frame storage unit, and manages the corresponding relationship between the storage unit and the multicast address of the channel and the PTS timestamp of the I-frame; and meanwhile, fast switching requests of all multicast receiving clients 30 are intercepted, according to the channel multicast address in the fast switching request, the storage unit of the last I frame corresponding to the multicast address is inquired, and video data in the storage unit is acquired and fed back to the multicast receiving clients 30. For example, request parameter examples: PLAYUdp://225.1.1.1:50100 ITVFCC/1.0\ r \ n \ r \ n, where 225.1.1.1 is the multicast address of the channel.
When the user switches the channel, the multicast receiving client 30 requests the last I-frame video data from the multicast fast-switching cache server 20, and then smoothly combines the requested last I-frame video data with the locally received video data, so as to eliminate the I-frame waiting time and the multicast receiving delay time, and simultaneously prepare enough start-up data for the player, thereby achieving the purpose of fast switching the channels. The method specifically comprises the following steps:
1) requesting the last I frame video data from the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 by using a TCP communication mode;
2) meanwhile, receiving the video data sent by the multicast preprocessing forwarding server 10;
3) and detecting the timestamp of the last I-frame video data requested by the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 and the video data received by local multicast, disconnecting the TCP request of the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 when the connection is found, and smoothly combining the last I-frame video data requested by the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 and the video data received by local multicast and delivering the combined video data to a player for playing.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a TCP-based multicast channel fast switching method according to the present invention, and the TCP-based multicast channel fast switching method of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2.
First, in step 201, a source multicast signal is received, and received multicast channel data is preprocessed. In this step, the multicast preprocessing forwarding service end 10 receives the source multicast signal, performs I-frame identification on the received multicast channel data, so that the downstream service or the client can quickly identify the starting position of the I-frame, and then sends the multicast channel data identified by the I-frame to the multicast fast-switching cache service and the multicast receiving client in a multicast form.
In step 202, the start position of the I frame is identified, and video data is stored and managed. Specifically, in this step, the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 receives multicast channel data after an I-frame identifier sent by the multicast preprocessing forwarding server 10, identifies an I-frame starting position, stores video data from a current I-frame to a next I-frame as a video data unit in a corresponding I-frame storage unit, and manages a correspondence between the storage unit and a multicast address of a channel and a PTS timestamp of the I-frame.
In step 203, video data is retrieved from a storage unit. Specifically, in this step, when receiving the channel switched by the user, the multicast receiving client 30 requests the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 for the last I-frame video data in a TCP communication manner; after the multicast fast-switching cache server 20 monitors the fast-switching request of the multicast receiving client 30, according to the channel multicast address in the fast-switching request parameter, the storage unit of the last I frame corresponding to the multicast address is queried, the video data of the last I frame in the storage unit is obtained, and the video data is fed back to the multicast receiving client 30.
In step 204, the video data is combined and played. Specifically, in this step, the multicast receiving client 30 receives video data sent by the multicast preprocessing forwarding server 20, and when detecting that the timestamp of the last video data requested by the multicast fast-switching caching server 20 can be joined with the timestamp of the video data received by local multicast, disconnects the TCP request to the multicast fast-switching caching server 20, and then smoothly combines the requested last I-frame video data with the video data received locally, and delivers the combined video data to the player for playing.
Fig. 3 is an effect diagram of fast channel switching of 4K channels according to the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, fast channel switching of 4K channels is performed, where the code stream: 27M, the time from the start of the station switching to the acquisition of the valid data is 82ms, and the time from the reception of the station switching request to the preparation of the player is 306 ms.
