Radio video frequency transmission optimizing method based on ratio integration and differential control technology

Technical field

The invention belongs to the wireless video communication field, particularly based on the radio video frequency transmission optimizing method of ratio integration and differential control technology.

Background technology

The present invention is with the appearance of streaming media service and develops into overall background.The middle and later periods nineties, along with the fast development of internet and coding techniques, people begin to have had the hope at transmission over networks video and image, and Streaming Media also quietly rises as a kind of new broadcasting media form.So-called Streaming Media, the actual continuous time-base media that in network, uses the stream transmission technology that is meant, as: audio frequency, video or multimedia file, it is a kind of new medium load mode, but not a kind of new medium.Stream media technology is widely used in the every aspect of internet information services such as internet multimedia news briefing, online live, the web advertisement, ecommerce, video request program, long-distance education, tele-medicine, network radio station, real-time video meeting, become the information that obtains in the daily life, obtain information indispensable effective ways and approach fast.

Yet stream media technology develops into 21 century, based on the streaming media service of cable network, can not satisfy the needs of reality.Anyone can both use streaming media service at any time and any place, is a kind of good hope, also is urgent demand.The formulation of new generation of wireless network standard and employing make that carrying out real-time video communication on wireless channel becomes possibility.Mobile phone video call, mobile video order etc. rely on the streaming media service of new generation of wireless network, will become the business growth point fast of mobile operator.Wireless flow media has wide development space and fine development prospect as the value-added business of a kind of WiMAX, will be also must be the most important source of profits of the Mobile Network Operator in future.

The demand of wireless video transmission service enlarges day by day, and it is faced with the challenge of stability and two aspects of efficiency of transmission.At first, wireless signal-path band width is limited, and outdoor vehicle-mounted uniform motion peak bandwidth has only 384kbps under the 3G standard.Secondly, code error rate of wireless channel height and time variation are strong, have significant dynamic.And wireless video communication has the requirement of real-time, and this mistake can cause the serious decline of video quality, and can cause the underflow of play buffer, causes the pause of video playback, even the interruption that causes wireless video communication to connect.The design of wireless video transmission system will be carried out difficult choice exactly between stability and efficiency of transmission, in the hope of reaching optimum trading off.

General wireless video communication system is made up of server, transmission channel and client three parts.Its general wireless video transmission method is: server carries out source encoding and chnnel coding to the vision signal that collects, and to the data encapsulation of packing behind the coding, sends client to by wireless channel.Client is successively carried out channel-decoding and source coding to the packet that receives, and is errorless as data packet transmission, then decodes successfully, can correctly play, to the correct received signal of server feedback (ACK); Wrong as data packet transmission, then can not be correctly decoded broadcast, to server feedback mistake received signal (NACK).

In order to improve the stability in the wireless video transmission course, many error-control method are arranged.Because the demand of the real-time of wireless video transmission, methods for forward error correction coding FEC becomes wherein typical error control method.This method adds fixedly redundant information value in the chnnel coding stage.According to the priori of network condition, estimate the average error rate of channel, determine the most suitable redundant information ratio.Then, in view of the above the information after the source encoding is carried out chnnel coding, when the data division of packet is made mistakes, can utilize redundant information to carry out error correction, thereby reduce packet loss.Improve the transmission success rate.Yet the error rate of wireless channel changes acutely in time, is difficult to estimate accurately in advance.In order to ensure stablizing of wireless connections, this employing of the FEC fixedly method of redundancy value can only adopt worst channel condition as the reference value.Obviously, the dynamic of wireless channel has determined that this is a cost to sacrifice efficiency of transmission.

The limitation of methods such as FEC shows:

1, need certain priori be arranged to the wireless channel that is about to carry out video transmission, average error rate could be set in a comparatively desirable state, otherwise can't work.

2, Gu Ding redundancy value does not have universality, and the different radio channel is carried out all will manually setting and adjust before the real-time video communication.

3, when the error rate of wireless channel is lower than the worst situation of prior setting always, then predefined redundancy value is excessive, wireless channel is in idle state in the most of the time of video communication, cause the huge waste of radio channel resource, also influence the video playing quality of client simultaneously.

4, when the error rate of wireless channel because the unexpected variation of external condition, when the worst situation of prior setting occurring being higher than, the redundancy value of setting can not satisfy the requirement of system's opposing mistake in advance, thereby cause the serious decline of play quality, even more serious consequence can cause the pause of broadcast, and then the aborted that causes radio communication to connect.

For desirable white Gaussian noise channel, the error rate is comparatively steady, and effect is also not obvious.Yet in the real world applications, this situation seldom.Consider the channel fading in the wireless transmission, code error rate of wireless channel has the marked change of small scale along with the random motion of portable terminal.How on this channel, packet loss is controlled in the whole video communication process under the desirable state always, how makes efficiency of transmission reach optimum under finite wireless resources, this is still blank technically.
