Description

A kind of management method of cable TV network interactive service
Technical field
The present invention relates to the wire communication field, more specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of management method of cable TV network interactive service.
Background technology
Traditional cable TV network carries out issuing of program data by Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC), and the service of One-to-All Broadcast formula only is provided for the user in the network area.Hfc plant has bandwidth, capacity is big, cost is low, antijamming capability is strong, support multiple business, connect huge numbers of families' advantage, for the development of digital television techniques is laid a good foundation.Along with the development of digital television techniques and the progressively fusion of digital television techniques and IP technology,, the user will become the direction of cable TV network development for providing interactive stronger two-way interactive video traffic.Two-way interactive is meant such as the subscriber terminal equipment of set-top box and the data interaction between the video server, the TV programme that the no longer passive wait video server of user terminal is play, and by self return path to server requirement and select TV programme.
The Digital Television of traditional domestic households, all users are the common identical TV programme of passive viewing on whole bandwidth, and the bandwidth resources of hfc plant need not dynamic management.But in two-way video on demand business, the TV programme of each user's active program request and control has nothing in common with each other, all need to monopolize the physical channel of one tunnel hfc plant, the bandwidth of using between the different user can not be conflicted, and will be implemented in the purpose that service is provided for the user of maximum number on the limited total bandwidth simultaneously.Therefore, in this operation system constitutes, must use a kind of session and method for managing resource to come the bandwidth resources of using in the program request are carried out unified dynamic management; And in the resource use to resource with session status is monitored and record, accomplish fully, rationally and effectively.We can say that in using the VOD system of two-way cable TV network network as channel, session and method for managing resource are extremely important module management methods.
Two management objects of session and method for managing resource are " sessions " and " resource ".Session is meant the contact of setting up for the example of finishing once service between user and server, subscriber terminal equipment (as set-top box but be not limited to set-top box) is in order to visit a service, send session to server and set up request, set up a session with server, after service finishes, cancel session.The user need obtain resource when realizing the example of a service, the indication resource is the bandwidth of hfc plant herein, and media server issues media data in the bandwidth that this session obtains, and discharges resource after service is finished.Different services can be asked different resources, and resource allocation and session link together.In whole network range, there is a unique session identification to come session in the marked network, all resources that belong to a Service Instance all link together with this sign.By session and method for managing resource above-mentioned object is managed, make limited hfc plant bandwidth resources obtain effectively, make full use of, the user obtains the purpose of quality assurance order program service simultaneously.
The execution flow process of session and method for managing resource mainly comprises two parts in the prior art: 1) to set-top box (STB) initialization, be used to obtain the coverage at set-top box place, so that follow-up session foundation and resource allocation; 2) resource allocation and the recovery in the set-top box on-demand process.
Initialization to STB, generally utilize cable modem (Cable modem both at home and abroad, CM) authentication scheme obtains the address of STB coverage, the shortcoming that this method exists is that the requirement hfc plant is that CM inserts, owing to depend on the authentication scheme of CM, this machine-processed flexibility is restricted simultaneously; The validity and the stability of quadrature amplitude modulation modulator in edge of the prior art (IPQAM) resource management are not improved all the time, because the user of IPQAM resource often is not session and a resource management system itself, have conforming maintenance issues in addition.
Summary of the invention

Step 30), set-top box after the MS program request, MS is to SRM server application resource, SRM server-assignment resource is set resource status, and replys MS, MS is that subscriber terminal equipment issues media content;
Step 40), after the set-top box program request finishes, the SRM server is received the notice of MS and is reclaimed resource or initiatively reclaim resource by self robust mechanism.
The session resource management method that the present invention proposes as described below based on principle and specific implementation flow process:
1 registration
1.1 registration purpose
The present invention has taken into full account the problem in the actual operation, at first, set-top box point sowing time, must hold the IP address information of SRM server and MS, could carry out interacting message with SRM server and MS, thereby obtain media content that is used to watch and the resource that is used to issue medium, still, for set-top box, if when manufacturing just with this information write-in memory, can not adapt to flexible and changeable operating environment, in case change has taken place in the IP address of SRM server or MS, with regard to intractable; Secondly, as shown in Figure 3, an IPQAM has 12 output ports, according to actual needs with physics arrange net different, annexation is also different, might 12 port parallel connections export, also might be divided into several mutual not groups of UNICOM and export respectively, also a plurality of IPQAM flexible combination of possibility are supported on software when this just needs the SRM server to realize, setting up the notion of " group ", is that unit manages with the group; The 3rd, the output of IPQAM arrives user's set-top box by hfc plant, and therefore every set-top box also is subordinated to a specific group, the IPQAM resource in can only the use group, and the dependency information that the SRM server must be held set-top box could be its Resources allocation.But for a certain set-top box, before being bought by the user, subordinate relation is unknown, and it is also inadvisable to buy the artificial configuration mode in back.
For realizing the registration purpose, address the above problem, the set-top box registration scenarios that this paper proposes is based on groups of nodes.
The notion of groups of nodes has four layers of implication, as Fig. 3, and the first, for entity IPQAM, the set of several output ports (RF) that groups of nodes is one or more IPQAM; Second, real network circuit for Access Network, all RF outputs of same groups of nodes are communicated with, share a frequency domain, just each frequency of synchronization can only for a media content service (for example, export if central authorities' one cover is modulated at the frequency of 900MHZ, just can not again central authorities' two covers be modulated at 900MHZ), which RF that comprises which IPQAM in each groups of nodes is artificially selected according to all factors before operation; Therefore the 3rd, for set-top box, the output of IPQAM arrives set-top box by access network, and every set-top box also is subordinated to a specific groups of nodes, the IPQAM resource in can only the use group; The 4th, for the SRM server, in database, in the reality operation, as a resource pool, be the set-top box Resources allocation in this group with the resource of the whole RF in the groups of nodes with the groups of nodes information storage determined before the operation.The bandwidth resources that groups of nodes comprises are exactly the summation of the resource that can use in certain time of the user of this groups of nodes.The groups of nodes information table is fixing before operation, but the corresponding relation mapping table of groups of nodes and set-top box is dynamically to generate when finishing registration behind set-top-box opening.
1.2 registration realization flow
The SRM server uses wheel to broadcast the machine-processed registration of finishing set-top box behind set-top-box opening, as shown in Figure 4:
At first, SRM server periodicity, blanket type are that each node group of self-management sends feature stream, and the feature stream content comprises the groups of nodes sign of this node group subordinate, the address information of SRM and the address information of media server.Feature stream issues and transmits by IPQAM a known frequency, arrives each set-top box.
After the user connected the set-top box power supply at any time, set-top box was at known frequency search characteristics stream, and each set-top box receives and can only receive the feature stream that comprises self groups of nodes information.Set-top box is resolved its content, thereby obtain the group id of self, obtain the communications parameter with SRM server and media server simultaneously, initiatively and the communication of SRM server, give the SRM server self groups of nodes information, set-top box self identification, username and password untill further notice.
The SRM server is judged after receiving the information of set-top box, if this set-top box is legal, is the set-top box registration in the mapping table of set-top box and groups of nodes, and with the state recording of this set-top box for starting shooting.The SRM server only provides service for the set-top box of having carried out registration.
Consider that set-top box may roam, can finish and only finish once registration automatically after the each start of set-top box, just can carry out the program request flow process afterwards.These scheme characteristics are that set-top box does not need to store the IP address of SRM server and the IP address of media server, and the physical location of set-top box also can change, and in the actual operation good flexibility are arranged.
2. resource management
2.1 management thought
Generally, on the one hand, the SRM server is managed dynamically to the frequency resource of IPQAM, make the user can only be during session in busy channel, make resource reach peak use rate; On the other hand, issue Media Stream with the clean culture form between duration of exclusivity, for the user provides the service that service quality (QOS) ensures.
In order to reach system's fastest response speed, the present invention uses the thread pool technology of JAVA language when realizing.When SRM server and MS and set-top box are carried out two-way communication, use transmission control protocol (TCP) to connect.During actual the operation, especially peak period in evening, user concurrent request quantity is very big, in order to improve to concurrent request responding speed, a lot of threads of disposable initialization whenever the message arrival of a MS or set-top box, are just taken out a thread and are handled from the pond, finish using and put back to thread pool, prepare for using next time.
In order to use Limited resources to provide bandwidth as the user of maximum number, and keep the real-time peak use rate of bandwidth, method of the present invention use following effectively, the Resource Management Algorithm of robust.IPQAM preserve frequency and with User Datagram Protoco (UDP) (UDP) port mapping table one to one, so the SRM server is to the management of frequency resource, just is converted into the management to udp port number.
2.2 resource allocation policy
MS self is storage resources information not, and issuing stream before must be to SRM server requests resource, and request message comprises this set-top box identification parameter.After the SRM server receives message, for the concrete steps of its distribution are described as follows as shown in Figure 5:
(1) the SRM server is resolved from order request message and is obtained required number of resources of set-top box and IP address information;
(2) SRM server Query Database at first judges whether set-top box is registered, if the request of unregistered just refusal, if it is registered, just inquire about and judge that this set-top box is current whether take resource, if taken resource just with the MS communication, at first this resource is reclaimed;
(3) after above-mentioned steps is finished, resource pool in the inquiry its data storehouse, if resource is used up, just refusal request, otherwise, from the idling-resource of system according to following load balancing principle for it distributes one, simultaneously resource status is recorded as " preassignment ", and produces the unique session identification number (sessionID) of overall situation record in the lump;
(4) subsequently with this information notice MS, MS is via this IPQAM, and issue media content at the frequency that distributes, afterwards, after the SRM server is received the affirmation message of set-top box success playing media content, this resource status is recorded as " in the use ", and is " in the program request " the state recording of this set-top box.
For above-mentioned flow process, have 2 explanations to need explanation:
First; certain set-top box is under the situation that has taken resource; still can send resource bid message; this abnormal conditions are inevitable; reason may be to be last time reason abnormal reclaim of the resource of its distribution owing to MS; or fault appearred in this set-top box, or even this message since network congestion be repeated to send.Therefore, can only use 1 unicast resource at most in order to ensure every set-top box, it is very necessary that this resource status is set step.Otherwise in case set-top box breaks down, frequent program request if SRM distributes at every turn, is a kind of waste to resource.
The second, the SRM allocation algorithm in the inventive method has been considered the load balancing principle.If a groups of nodes comprises a plurality of IPQAM, then select the IPQAM of load minimum; Then select the output port of the load minimum of this IPQAM in IPQAM inside; In output port inside, then consider load balancing between the frequency of output port, for example, certain comprises the groups of nodes of 1 output port, 4 frequencies have 4 * 6=24 available port, when selecting port so, preferentially according to the reciprocal order of frequency 1 → frequency 2 → frequency 3 → frequency 4 → frequency 1..., the code check when avoiding using same frequency to transmit multi-channel program is excessive.
2.3 resource reclaims
After the set-top box program request finishes, carry out resource by MS notice SRM server and reclaim.In the real system, may have the set-top box power down, the power down of SRM server, MS power down, network communication freely do not wait unusually, so resource reclaims the characteristics must possess robust, self recovery, could guarantee the circulation of system resource and make full use of.
Its recovery method as resource of the SRM server that the present invention proposes has two kinds, and they operate in the system simultaneously:
First kind, the notice of the passive wait of SRM server MS and reclaim resource.For example the set-top box program request finishes or program request in after the abnormal power-down, the SRM server is received the recovery message related to resources of MS, and this resource status is recorded as " free time ", and resource is recovered into resource pool, waits for sub-distribution down.Under the overwhelming majority situation, resource obtains reclaiming by this mechanism.
Second kind, the SRM server initiatively reclaims the resource of distribution by the robust mechanism of self, as shown in Figure 6.In actual operation, occur such as under the abnormal conditions that the set-top box internal processes is made mistakes, set-top box is shut down unusually, network congestion packet loss, on-demand process are unusual, media server recording exceptional etc. is difficult to avoid, make when the SRM server fails to receive the recovery message related to resources of media server, still keep the resources effective utilization.Concrete mechanism is: the SRM server is every the survival condition of one section long time (as every 1 hour) inspection state for " in the use " resource, and every one short period (as every 5 minutes), the inspection state is the survival condition of " preassignment " resource.Inspection method is the same; at first check its data storehouse; obtain session (SESSION) tabulation of current survival; this tabulation is sent to media server; the state of SESSION during media server is confirmed to tabulate one by one, flow process afterwards is the same with the normal flow process that reclaims, and the SRM server receives the resource recovery message that MS sends; upgrade self database then, reclaim resource.
By using the present invention, make resource utilization reach maximum, and linear growth is not a standard with the high peak number of the program request of a certain period only with the growth of media content number to run the number of required maximum bandwidth resource, dispose like this such as the new service of opening new channel, it is minimum that required cost reaches.
By using the present invention, improved the flexibility height of system, needn't write the ip address of SRM server when dispatching from the factory such as the terminal equipment of set-top box, the IP of SRM server and media server can change with actual demand.
By using the present invention, the system that makes is independent of concrete business, can support a plurality of business simultaneously, and professional expansion easily.
By using the present invention, reduce system response time, after user's program request, be in the very short time of the order of magnitude with the second, just can begin to watch, near seamless experience.
By using the present invention, the system that makes can be from recovering under abnormal conditions, in the actual operation system occur that the set-top box internal processes is made mistakes, set-top box is shut down unusually, under the situations such as network congestion packet loss, on-demand process are unusual, media server recording exceptional, can be from recovering.
It should be noted that at last, above embodiment is only in order to illustrate that technical scheme of the present invention is not intended to limit, and on using, can extend to other modification, variation, application and embodiment, think that simultaneously all such modifications, variation, application, embodiment are within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
