  • the MPEG-2 video encoding technique supports VBR.
  • VBR Video Broadcast Rate Average
  • VBR such as, a more uniform picture quality and shorter delay.
  • MPEG-2 specifications which define packeting, multiplexing and synchronisation, include support for VBR.
  • An encoder operating with VBR requires a control mechanism to continuously calculate a current data rate on the basis of a number of different input signals.
  • the data rate is a continuously variable function of time and can be different for each bit produced by an encoder. This ideal solution would be difficult to implement in a real encoder since the bit clock, which empties the video buffer, would, in principle, be required to vary continuously.
  • a VBR implementation of a MPEG-2 encoder can be substantially simplified by using a fixed clock frequency, selected in dependence on the highest data rate to be handled by the encoder, instead of a continuously varying transmission clock Data is then read out of the video buffer, in blocks, at the fixed clock frequency
  • the variation in bit rate is achieved by varying the interval between data blocks
  • the instantaneous rate will be burst-like with varying lengths of time slot between bursts, in which the bit rate is zero
  • the bit rate can be varied from a maximum value, on the right of Figure 1 , where the bursts are continuous, i e no intervening time slots between data blocks, to a much lower bit rate on the left of Figure 1 , in which there are substantial time slots between data blocks
  • a constant data rate is achieved within a data block, which can be varied from data block to data block.
  • the size of data blocks is kept comparatively small, e g equivalent to the size of an ATM cell, there are no restrictions imposed by the use of a step-wise block-by-block variation in bit rate compared with a continuous va ⁇ ation in bit rate.
  • the use of a step-wise va ⁇ ation in bit rate based on data blocks corresponding to the size of ATM cells, fits very well with the implementation of VBR in a MPEG-2 encoder adapted for use with ATM MPEG-2 supports VBR in the form of a "piecewise constant rate". This means that the byte stream has a constant byte rate between either:
  • a traffic contract is established when a VC (Virtual Channel) is established, such a traffic contract can be modelled by a "leaky bucket", see for example the ATM Forum's description of VBR.
  • the encoder To comply with the traffic contract, the encoder must supervise the following three parameters:
  • the present invention provides VBR in a MPEG-2 encoder through the action of the system layer multiplexer which empties the video encoder buffer block-by-block at a bit rate R.
  • B 0 is selected to be equal to 47 bytes, since this is the SAR-PDU (Segmentation and Reassembly Protocol Data Unit) payload size in the simplest case
  • the interval between two consecutive blocks is controlled by a multiplexer which, in turn, gets information from a regulator
  • the multiplexer therefore becomes the "rate master" in the system and other elements of the system adapt their processing rate to that set by the multiplexer
  • the multiplexer can, while the video buffer is being emptied, create a cell flow, strictly speaking an AAL payload flow, which meets the parameter values specified in the traffic contract No following "cell shaping" is needed provided that sequential steps in the AAL are implemented as pipe-lines with fixed delays
  • R is preferably selected to have a comparatively high value because this gives a low self induced jitter in the case where a plurality of different channels are multiplexed together, each with its own VCI
  • control mechanism used to select the data rate, uses the degree of fill of the video buffer as an input signal, allowance must be made for rapid changes of the signal du ⁇ ng the short period when a data block is read out of the video buffer
  • the gradient in buffer filling, as a function of time increases as the selected value of R increases This does not cause any practical difficulties, but it does have implications for the design of the regulator
  • the multiplexer and the AAL, etc data is transmitted in the form of blocks which always have an internal bit rate of R This need not cause jitter problems Provided alignment between transport packets and data blocks is maintained, i e so that PCR fields always occur early in the blocks the self induced jitter amplitude can be kept to an acceptably low level
  • the multiplexer generates a "piece- wise constant cell rate", which is referred to as PCCR in this patent specification
  • the control mechanism for PCCR operates with a clock frequency which is preferably, but not necessarily, selected as the bit clock of the network divided by eight, i.e. the clock rate corresponds to the network "byte clock” This rate is used to select the number of network clock cycles that will separate each cell
  • This mechanism includes a programmable counter which counts from the value "cell distance”, see Figure 2, to zero The "cell distance” is the distance between two consecutive cell starts. During the latter part of the counting cycle the cell is placed on the channel for transmission
  • the cell distance value can be changed and this in turn enables the distance between cells to be varied
  • the value of the cell distance is decided in a separate regulator which can measure the load on the network and bandwidth requirements of the application to be used On the basis of this data, the regulator negotiates, with the network, the bandwidth that will be made available - traffic contract
  • the case of variable block and cell distance is illustrated in Figure 3
  • the number of bits the counter contains depends on how low a bit rate, i.e the size of the maximal distance between cells, can be achieved For instance, if the maximal channel rate is 155Mb ⁇ t/s and the encoder needs to utilize 1 5 Mbit/s, then the distance will be
  • cell distance (cell size x 155)/1 5 expressed as a number of network clock cycles (byte oriented transmission)
  • the nominal buffer level must be allowed to vary in time as the bit rate vanes in order to keep the delay constant in the receiver
  • a buffer in the receiver is filled with incoming MPEG-2 data
  • the piece-by-piece constant bit rate Is extracted from incoming data by the system layer of the MPEG2 protocol This may be executed, for example, by means of the parameter programjnux_rate, see ISO/IEC IS13818-1
  • the nominal buffer level is calculated on the basis of this information and the preceding bit rate
  • the nominal buffer level will typically adopt the form of a ramp up, or down which changes to a constant level when all data which was transmitted with the old rate has left the buffer
  • the calculated nominal level can then be used as reference for the adaptive recovery of the deviation from the nominal bit rate by means of a PLL, or similar arrangement
  • the bit rate information from outgoing data is also extracted
  • This technique can be regarded as an extension of 'Adaptive Clock", which enables it to function with VBR, as well as CBR.
  • An implementation of this technique in an ATM-adapted MPEG-2 decoder can, therefore, utilize the same hardware as that used for an AAL1 Adaptive Clock. This means that separate AAL1 implementations for VBR and CBR are not needed.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de transmission de télécommunications conçu pour la transmission de trains de données MPEG-2 à un débit binaire variable. Ce système comprend un codeur et un décodeur. Le décodeur comprend un multiplexeur de couche système conçu pour vider un tampon de décodeur vidéo par lecture de ses blocs de données, avec un débit binaire constant dans un bloc. Le décodeur autorise un débit binaire variable (VBR) dans un multiplexeur de couche système MPEG-2 conçu pour un mode MTA, et représente une application particulièrement simple d'un décodeur VBR MPEG-2 ayant une bonne commande de gigue. Le décodeur rend superflue une fonction 'formation de cellule' spéciale en vue d'accomplir un contrat de trafic. Pour rétablir le rythme binaire dans le décodeur MPEG-2, les données sont temporairement mémorisées dans un tampon de réception. Par lecture continue de l'écartement du niveau tampon, c'est-à-dire du niveau de remplissage du tampon par des données, de sa valeur nominale, il est possible de commander, dans ce tampon, l'écartement du débit de vidage du tampon du débit binaire nominal, par une boucle à phase asservie (PLL) ou un système similaire.
