Description

管理数据流速率变化的方法
技术领域
本发明涉及视频会议系统中的流控制。
背景技术
视频会议系统传统上适应于使用电路交换和分组交换网络。由此,已经竭力获得电路交换和分组交换终端之间的互操作性,这提供了在不损失质量或引入延时情况下的交互作用和通信。如ISDN的电路交换网络上多媒体通信的公共标准是来自国际电信联盟(ITU)的H.320标准。用于分组交换的相应标准是H.323。由于本发明涉及流控制,这是与分组交换有关的问题,因此以下详细描述H.323。
如上所述,H.323是来自国际电信联盟(ITU)的综合建议,其设置没提供有保证的服务质量的分组交换网络上多媒体通信的标准。这些网络遍布在许多公司终端上,并包括以太网、快速以太网和令牌网技术上的TCP/IP和IPX。名为“基于分组的多媒体通信系统”的H.323标准提供了包括因特网的基于IP的网络上音频、视频以及数据通信的基础。遵循H.323标准的多媒体产品和应用是可共同操作的、可彼此通信的并由此兼容的。许多子标准组成了H.323标准或协议,其中之一是H.245标准。
H.245标准定义了H.323标准的控制协议部分。根据该协议,存在几种在呼叫期间改变流速率的方法。最强的方法是发送“流控制命令”到发射终端。该“流控制命令”包括字段“逻辑信道号”和“最大比特率”。“最大比特率”指示逻辑信道的最大允许比特率。该消息是不可拒绝的,即,在接收到该消息之后,不允许终端以更高的速率发射。“流控制命令”用于初始设置终端之间协商的最大数据速率。改变比特率的备选方法是使用逻辑信道比特率消息流。出于示例性目的,考虑使用逻辑信道比特率消息来改变从端点发射的流速率的网关。“逻辑信道速率请求”消息从网关发射到端点。除了指示逻辑信道的请求的最大比特率的“最大比特率”(以100比特/s为单位)以外,该消息还包括指示比特率改变请求应用到的逻辑信道的“逻辑信道号”。端点通过返回“逻辑信道速率确认”消息来批准和确认对指定信道的数据速率改变的请求,该“逻辑信道速率确认”消息包括与先前接收的“逻辑信道速率请求”消息中相同的参数。备选地,如果由于某些原因端点不接受请求的改变,则包括“拒绝原因”的“逻辑信道速率拒绝”响应“逻辑信道速率请求”消息,该“拒绝原因”指示拒绝请求的原因。
H.323的备选协议是SIP(会话发起协议)协议。在当前的SIP标准中,通过将“再邀请”消息发射到端点来执行改变呼叫期间的流速率。“再邀请”消息携带了与“邀请”消息相同的信息,包括呼叫建立时使用的所谓“设置进程权限”。由此,“再邀请”消息还包括最大允许比特率,因此,发射具有新的最大允许数据速率的“再邀请”消息而留下其它未改变的数据将具有与H.323中“流控制命令”相同的效果。
网关提供多媒体会议中端点之间通信路径的IP侧与电路交换侧之间的连接。从位于IP侧的端点来看,电路交换侧的端点实际上被转换为IP端点,反之亦然。因此,网关的主要任务是实时地翻译和重新打包网络上的数据流。在从H.323端点发射的包被取出并配置在固定大小的H.320帧中之前,这些包暂时存储在缓冲器中。
在网关中从H.323到H.320的翻译过程是通过从RFC2032(RTP上的H.261)、RFC2190(RTP上的H.263)和RFC2429(RTP上的H.263+)指定的包中提取原始视频数据并将该原始数据转发到所谓的BCH编码器来实现的。
由于在上述RFC中描述的分包方案具有与包分离可能发生的位置有关的严格规则,因此当沿相反方向从H.320翻译为H.323时,过程更加复杂。在图像、“块组”(GOB)和“宏块”(MB)级允许特定的包分离。由于MB级上的分离具有由于需要与视频数据一起发射一些视频解码器状态信息所引起的相关开销,因此最希望分离发生在图像和GOB级。
常规的实现使用可变长度解码来确定视频流中“块组”(GOB)的位置和长度。当它找到GOB时,它通过使用GOB中的比特数(a)、当前包中的可用比特数(b)以及最大包大小(c)来处理相应比特,以选择如下动作中的一种:
·如果a<=b,则将GOB添加到当前包;
·如果a>b且a<=c,则发射当前包并将GOB添加到新的包;
·如果a>b且a>c,则发射当前包并用次最佳宏块级发射GOB。
这三种规则对分包进行优化,以便如果有可能的话适合包中的整个GOB,同时还在可能时组合一个包中的几个GOB。这是所期望的,因为GOB排列的包具有较少的开销,并且少量的大包需要比许多小包还少的处理开销。
除了以上规则,当图像中最后的GOB被添加到包时,也发射包。该附加规则防止网关积累不必要的延时。
共同连接在网关单元中的H.323端点和H.320端点不能使用端对端流控制,因为H.320协议不支持它。然而,在网关和H.323端点之间可使用流控制。仅从网关到H.323端点的流控制消息会具有任何效应。例如在来自Polycom和Ezenia的已知H320/H323网关中的典型情况是网关最初会将流控制消息发送到H.323端点,以将产生的视频数据速率调节为来自网关的输出H.320连接中的可用容量。不可能流控制H.320端点,因为H.320协议完全不支持它。这意味着H.320可产生比H.323端点支持的更多的视频。只有从网关到H.323的流控制消息将具有任何效应。该效应将取决于H.323端点中的流控制支持。
然后当H.323端点由于一些原因而开始以高于流控制发起的比特率来将数据发射到网关时,问题出现了。这可能是由于端点中的缺陷、数据设定的丢失或漂移或者错误的挂钟而发生的。然后网关将不能以填满缓冲器的速度将数据捕获到H.320帧。在第一个例子中,这意味着在数据发射中不断加大的延时,因为有效负载将在缓冲器中花费较长时间,这对于诸如视频会议的实时应用是非常重要的。此外,在某些点处,将达到缓冲器的填充上限。当达到填充上限时,网关除了拒绝随后的输入数据外别无选择。这样的结果是数据丢失,对H.320端点的用户显示为图像伪像。
发明内容
在所公开的独立权利要求中定义的特征表征该配置和方法。
具体地说,本发明公开了一种调节从第一分组交换H.323或SIP配置视频会议终端发射并在第二分组交换H.323或SIP配置视频会议终端中接收的数据的流速率的方法,在捕获该接收数据用于进一步处理之前将该数据暂时存储在第二分组交换视频会议终端中的一个或多个缓冲器中,在从所述一个或多个缓冲器中捕获每个数据之后,该方法还包括以下步骤:比较一个或多个缓冲器的填充水平(filllevel)与预定义水平,如果所述填充水平低于所述预定义水平,则复位计数器,如果所述填充水平大于所述预定义水平,则递增所述计数器,并比较所述计数器与预定义计数器限制,如果所述计数器大于所述预定义计数器限制,则复位所述计数器,并通过将流控制消息从第二分组交换终端发送到第一分组交换终端来降低发射数据的流速率,所述流控制消息指示第一分组交换终端根据包含在所述流控制消息中的流速率值来降低流速率。
附图说明
为了使本发明更容易理解,以下讨论将参考附图,
图1是示出本发明优选实施例的流程图。
具体实施方式
在下文中,将通过描述优选实施例并通过参考附图来讨论本发明。然而,本领域的技术人员将认识到所附独立权利要求中定义的本发明范围内的其它应用和修改。
本发明提供当例如H.323端点发射比初始协商的更多的视频或其它数据时数据生产过剩的自动检测,并通过将上述消息流用于数据速率改变或其它流控制机制来使它产生的较少。在H.323的情况下,将“流控制命令”或“逻辑信道速率请求”消息周期性地发射到讨论中的端点,该消息具有递增的较低量“最大比特率”,直到从端点接收的视频速率等于或低于初始协商的速率或某其它固定速率为止。
本发明的方法特别可用在网关中。通过周期性地观察输入缓冲器中的数据量来检测网关中视频数据的生产过剩。如果在定义的时段内数据量大于某个限制,则端点被看作生产过量。该缓冲器的数据限制最好设置为与输出H.320视频速率成比例。
当检测到生产过剩时,将新的“流控制命令”或“逻辑信道速率请求”消息发送到H.323端点。然后以常量降低比特率。应该预先定义用于观察超过限制的缓冲器水平的时段。
现在将参考图1的流程图来描述本发明的优选实施例。感兴趣的数据流是从H.323端点发射到H320/H323网关的视频数据。网关将输入视频数据的有效负载重新打包成持续时间为10ms的H.320帧,该帧能够携带常量的视频数据。从而,在10ms的间隔,视频重新打包器(repacker)被要求产生适合10ms(H.221)帧的数据。计数器跟踪自从上次缓冲器的填充水平低于预定义水平以来来自缓冲器的数据捕获事件的数目。
在重新打包器已经产生了用于H.221帧的数据之后,检验buffer_level,其指示暂时存储端点的输入视频数据的视频缓冲器的填充水平。如果buffer_level低于预定义Max_level,则计数器复位,并且过程等待重新打包器产生用于另一个H.221帧的新数据,但如果不是,则计数器递增。在该例子中,Max_level是10ms H.221帧中的最大视频数据量。
然后,研究计数器本身,并且如果其低于预定义overprod_level,则过程等待重新打包器产生用于另一个H.221帧的新数据。如果不是,则H.323端点被认为生产过剩。计数器复位,并且从H.323端点发射的视频数据的数据流速率逐步下降由参数flow_step所指示的预定义量。在该例子中,flow_step是16k比特的常数。通过发射包括当前流速率减去flow_step的“最大比特率”和指示视频数据逻辑信道的“逻辑信道号”的“流控制命令”或“逻辑信道速率请求”消息来执行数据流速率的递减。然而,在进行递减之前,必须检验当前流速率减去flow_step是否低于预定义flow_min。如果情况如此,则绕过该递减,并且过程等待重新打包器产生用于另一个H.221帧的新数据。这样做的原因是确保从H.323端点发射的实际视频数据速率决不设为0。
为了防止例如数据突发触发流速率的过大下降,最好应该引入截取产生数据突发的至少最普通事件的机制。例如,考虑其中端点具有不同呼叫速率的H.323会议呼叫的情况。具有最低呼叫速率的端点最初会将流控制消息发送到其它端点,以使这些端点以低速率产生。然而,这不会阻止短期的生产过剩。这个起始突发可能触发本发明的溢出检测机制降低比需要的大的流速率。为了避免这种情况,网关可配置为在视频信道打开之后定义的时段总是将流速率升高到输出H.320速率。
本发明处理H.323端点(或适应于类似标准的端点),该端点始终产生与流控制初始速率有关的更多视频数据(或其它多媒体数据)。
换而言之,本发明使网关与防止缓冲器溢出和数据丢失的始终生产过剩的H.323端点一起工作。以这种方式,可以避免或大大减少延时和图像伪像的形成。
本发明并不仅局限于端点和网关之间的流控制,而是可使用端对端环境,或者MCU和端点之间的流控制。本发明也不局限于H.323标准,而是还可与其它类似标准(例如SIP标准)结合使用。在SIP标准的情况下,与H.323有关的描述中所用的“流控制命令”用背景部分中描述的“重新邀请”消息来代替。本发明适用于用于流控制的SIP和H.323标准的未来版本中的任何消息或方法。
