Abstract

A codec aware adaptive playout method estimates playout delays for a current packet based on a loss mean opinion score (LMOS), a delay mean opinion score (DMOS), and a mean opinion score (MMOS) of packets with reference to the codec used in voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), streaming audio, and streaming video transmissions. The method selects an estimated playout delay having an optimum MMOS, or playout quality, from the plurality of estimated playout delays, and delays the playout of the current packet by the selected estimated playout delay. A codec aware adaptive playout device includes a playout controller for controlling playout of packets in a playout buffer. The playout controller references network delay estimates provided by a network delay estimator, and codec information such as the LMOS, DM OS, and MMOS provided by a codec detector to determine playout delays for the packets of the playout buffer.

V. Description of the Invention (1) The technical field to which the invention belongs The invention relates to the transmission of network data, especially to the optimization of packet playback delay Method, wherein the packet is transmitted in a network, and the network will generate a solution delay when transmitting the packet. The popularity of the prior art Internet and the development of technology have made real-time sound and video transmission possible . Almost Internet users can hear streaming sound or watch streaming images. Recently, other communication methods through the Internet have been developed maturely, such as the Internet Voice Protocol (V ο IP). Use Software that can withstand the Internet's voice protocols has become a popular and economical way for users to communicate with each other through the Internet and other computer networks. In a streaming mode, such as the Internet Voice Protocol The biggest obstacle in the implementation of packet communication is the change of network delay, which is the so-called delay disturbance (ji 11 er). Delay disturbance can be based on a broadcast The delay is greatly reduced by the delayed playback of the packet. When the network delay is not fixed, reducing the number of delay disturbances of a transmission requires a reasonable measurement of the network delay and a correct judgment of the playback delay. However, the playback delay cannot be too long because The purpose of the transmission is to achieve the effect of real-time transmission, and the excessively long playback delay violates this item. 1235565 t No. 91136579 year, month, and day five. Description of the invention (2) Figure 1 is a sound data 20 Schematic diagram of data packet to be transmitted across a network 10. Data 20 contains audible segments 2 a, 2 0c, 2 0 e, which have identifiable audio messages, and data 20 contains a still segment. 2 0 b and 2 0 d, which have indistinguishable voice messages. A transmitter 12, which can be a personal computer or other device, sends packets P 1-P 1 5 in an orderly manner at fixed time intervals, but because Network delay will delay the transmission of packets P15, among which certain packets arriving at a receiver 14 must be further delayed by different amounts of time to form a cohesive sound data 22, where the receiver 14 can be a similar personal computer or device. The audio data 22 includes audible sections 22a, 22c, 22e and silent sections 22b, 22d, which correspond to the required sections. Segments 20a-20e in the transmitted data 20. The packet P1 is sent out by the transmitter 12 at a given time. The packet P1 may be delayed by the network 10 for any reason, as shown in Figure 1. The shaded square shows this delay and other further delay factors. Packet P 1 will be further delayed by receiver 14, so that this packet P 1 can be played continuously with packet P 2 which has been delayed by network 10. If the packet P 1 is not further delayed by the receiver 1 4, the packets P 1 and P 2 will not be played continuously, and an audio interruption will occur in the data 2 2. This hearing interruption in the data 22 is heard by the user at the receiver 14 and results in poor sound quality in the playback of the data 22. The packets P 2-P 5 are all delayed by the network 10 at the same time, and the packets P2-P5 are not necessarily furthered by the receiver 14

Description of the Invention (11) A similar method may be used to determine more estimated playback delays to include arbitrary formula numbers in Equation 2. . On the other hand, EPDsta's decision is based on specific information in the codec technology, including the wearout comprehensive opinion score and the average comprehensive opinion score. Given the corresponding packet loss rate and de-delaying the specific loss comprehensive opinion score in the codec technology, the specific delay comprehensive opinion score (DMOS) in the codec technology can be determined. The average comprehensive opinion score of the previous packet is a nasal average of the attrition comprehensive opinion score and the delayed comprehensive opinion score. Generally speaking, the codec technology itself is a complete solution; f; the consensus score ’is the delayed comprehensive opinion score, and the average comprehensive opinion score, as the same message is specific to the codec technology. For example, some codec-to-code technologies are more sensitive to packet loss than other codec technologies. Similarly, some codec technologies are particularly sensitive to packet delay. Each codec technology has different sensitivities to packet loss or packet delay due to different mechanisms and ways of compressing data. However, the wearout comprehensive opinion score, delayed comprehensive opinion score, and average comprehensive opinion score values can be taken from any given codec technology with reference to the packet wearout rate and latency. In addition, the average comprehensive opinion score is a good objective measure of overall playback quality. Please refer to Equation 2. The estimated playback delay EPDsta is calculated by the playback controller 42 based on the ratio of the wearout comprehensive opinion score to the average comprehensive opinion score in the previous packet.

In this way, EPD sta achieves great value. 91136579 opinion score ’is, compared with the loss ratio, the rest is lower than when the packet consumption is lower.
