Definitions
- the present invention relates to the negotiation of coding resources between two communication clients for the transmission of a multimedia session.
- IMS IP Multimedia S ⁇ bsystem
- any communication system based on signaling protocols for negotiation between customers who are on the call, coding resources they will use to transmit a multimedia session.
- a signaling protocol may in particular be the SIP protocol specified by RFC 3261 of the IETF.
- This SIP protocol (for Session Initiation Protocol) allows two parties to exchange the information necessary for the establishment of a multimedia session through a communication network.
- This session can be a typical "voice” session but can also include data, video, and so on.
- the information must be encoded in a digital format.
- formats exist.
- codoges may be better suited to certain situations. Thus, depending on whether we want to optimize the quality or the bandwidth used, we will not choose the same coding format.
- Communication clients have one or more coding resources commonly referred to as "coded”. It may be software modules implement ⁇ t the coding algorithm, or specific or programmable electronic circuits.
- SDP Session Description Protocol
- RFC 2327 of NETF RFC 2543 titled "An Offer / Answer Mode / with Session Description Protocol (SDP)" more particularly describes the negotiation of coding resources to be used for setting up the multimedia session. This negotiation is based on the offer of one or more clients of available coding resources and the choice of a common resource among the "offered" coding resources common to both parties.
- the invention has for its first object, a communication network device, comprising communication interfaces for transmitting signaling messages between a calling party and a called party.
- These signaling messages may contain resource information about the encoding resources available to clients for establishing a communication session between those clients.
- These signaling messages include - an invitation message sent by the calling customer to the called customer, - a response message, sent by the called client to the calling customer, and - a message of agreement sent by the calling customer to the called customer.
- This equipment is innovative in particular that it also has the means to - delete the resource information contained in the invitation message before transmission to the called client,
- the equipment may further comprise a memory provided for storing the resource information contained in the invitation message received from the calling client.
- the means are provided for selecting the resource based on data concerning the bandwidth between the calling client and the called customer.
- This data can for example be obtained from a location system or a network management system.
- the invention also relates to a negotiation method for establishing a multimedia session between a calling client and a called client connected to a communication network, by exchanging signaling messages.
- This signaling message exchange includes:
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that the signaling messages are transmitted via an equipment of the communication network and in that this equipment: - deletes the resource information contained in the invitation message before transmission to the called customer, determines a set of usable resources from the resource information contained in the invitation message and the response message, and selects, where appropriate, one of the encoding resources from the set and inserts relative resource information to the resource as unique resource information within the response message before transmission to the calling client, and within the agreement message before transmission to the called client.
- Figure 1 schematically shows a communication network comprising an equipment according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an exchange of signaling messages according to the invention.
- the invention is also likely to apply to multimedia sessions involving more than two clients.
- per communication client it must be not only understood a communication terminal, but also a content server or an application server, for example.
- the invention can quite apply to the negotiation of coding resources to be used between a communication terminal and a video-on-demand server.
- the communication terminals can be mobile telecommunication terminals, computers equipped with telecommunication interface, televisions also equipped, digital personal digital assistants (or PDAs for "Personal Digital Assistant"), etc.
- FIG. 1 shows two communication clients A and B connected to a communication network N.
- the communication clients have coding resources, R 1 and R respectively, and communication interfaces, I A and I respectively.
- These coding resources, or “coded”, allow the encoding and decoding of an audio or video stream to or from a digital medium. Different codes may be available for each type of media: audio, video ... Some coded are better suited to certain types of content. Thus, if the audio is voice (for example, a telephone conversation) or music, the code to use may not be the same.
- codecs for audio: PCMU and PCMA specified by the 1TU-T G.711 standard, ITU-T standard G.723, ILBC, AMR, AMR- WB ...
- Each codec can be parameterized, thus forming as many coding resources as possible.
- Communication clients also have communication interfaces. These interfaces allow them to send packets of data on the communication network N. This data can transport the multimedia sessions but also signaling messages, in particular compliant with the SIP protocol.
- the communication network N comprises an equipment S.
- This equipment can be a "SIP proxy".
- SIP proxy In the context of an IMS ("IP Multiplia S ⁇ bsystem") type architecture, this proxy can be a CSCF ("CaII Session Control F ⁇ nction") function.
- client A is the calling client and client B is the oppe client.
- client A therefore sends an invitation message to the client B.
- This invitation message may be a message S) P "INVITE", as illustrated in the diagram of FIG. 2.
- this "INVITE" message contains data complying with the SDP protocol.
- a simplified example of such an "INVITE” message is given below.
- SOP data is used to describe the requested session.
- the SDP data further contains resource information.
- This information describes the encoding resources available to the communication client A. In this example, it has four audio codecs: AMR, AMR-WB, PCMU and PCAAA.
- This invitation message "INVITE" is received by the equipment S via its interface I 9 . It is then processed by MT means available to this equipment. According to the invention, these means MT suppress less resource information contained in this incoming invitation message, and then transmit it to the B via the communication interface 1 SB .
- the equipment S stores the deleted resource information for later use. This information can be stored in a MEM memory.
- INVITE sip olivi ⁇ r @ l 72.27.204.168 SIP / 2.0
- CaII-ID 0017a4f4fabf-8248031671927676087
- Client B receives this invitation message via its communication interface I ,. So answer can depend on a decision of the user of the customer, and in particular of his acceptance or not of the call. It is assumed that the call is accepted by the communication client B and then responds with a "200 OK" response message in accordance with the IETF SIP protocol and RFC 2543. Since this invitation message does not include resource information, the "200 Ok” response message must include an "offer” of resources in the sense of RFC 3264. Such behavior is usual and illustrated notably by RFC 3725 entitled " Best Courtesy Pracfic ⁇ s for Third Party
- the response message "200 Ok” therefore contains resource information relating to the coding resources available to the communication client B.
- An example of a "200 Ok” response message is given below:
- CaII-ID 0017a4f4fabf-8248031671927676087
- the communication sink B indicates that it has three R encoding resources, audio: AMR, PCMU, and PCMA.
- This response message is transmitted via the communication interface I 8
- equipment S This receives it on its communication interface I SB and processes it by its processing means MT.
- the processing means therefore have the resource information relating to the host B, transmitted by the response message "200 Ok", and resource information relating to the transceiver A, stored in the memory MEM.
- the processing means MT are provided to determine a set of resources that can be used from the resource information from the two communication clients A and B.
- This set of usable resources can be formed by all codoge resources common to clients A and B.
- This set can be empty and in which case no session can be established. The request must then be rejected.
- the set can also be reduced to a singleton.
- the processing means MT can be made by the processing means MT in order to determine a single coding resource.
- a coding resource is selected by the equipment S and this choice is imposed with communication clients A and B.
- This selection can be made by the means MT as a function of data available at the end of the communication network N.
- This data may relate in particular to the bandwidth on the links used for the transmission of the multimedia session between the clients A and B.
- This data can for example be obtained from a location system which can identify the type of access network by which the clients are connected. This identification can be used as a limiting factor for choosing an appropriate code.
- video codecs and codecs a ⁇ dio G.71 1 can be eliminated for the benefit of eg the AMR codec.
- the data can also be obtained from a network management system that can access (and thus provide) information on network congestion and time and available bandwidth. Other devices may also be used to provide bandwidth data.
- the equipment S can also use other criteria than the delay or the bandwidth to select one of the available codes.
- the selected codec is the AMR codec because the available bandwidth is low and the AMR codec is the least expensive in bandwidth among available coding resources, AMR, PCMU, and PCMA.
- the equipment S transmits the response message "200 Ok" to the calling client A, by first inserting information relating to the selected coding resource.
- Such a response message can be for example as follows:
- the communication client A receives this response message on its communication interface and this imposes on it the codec to be used for the transmission of the multimedia session.
- This chord message does not normally contain information about the encoding resources.
- This message is received by the equipment S on its interface I 38 .
- the processing means MT insert in this received message the information relating to the chosen coding resource before transmitting it to the called communication client, B.
- An example of an ACK agreement message forwarded to client B can be as follows:
- the communication clients A and B are informed of the coding resource chosen by the equipment S and to be used for the establishment and transmission of the negotiated multimedia session.
