Figure 1 shows the architecture of the 3GP-DASH system. As shown in Figure 1, the 3GP-DASH system includes: 3GP-DASH HTTP server and 3GP-DASH client, or also includes an HTTP buffer unit. The HTTP server includes a 3GP-DASH content preparation module, a 3GP-DASH media presentation description (MPD) file distribution function module, and a 3GP-DASH media segment distribution function module.
现有技术中, 在视频直播服务 (Live Service ) 时, 超文本传输协议 In the prior art, in the case of a live video service (Live Service), a hypertext transfer protocol
(Hypertext Transfer Protocol, 简称: HTTP) 服务器的 3GP-DASH内容准备 模块在源媒体流输入的时候, 按照源媒体流提供方的指定码率, 通常以兆位 每秒(Megabits Per Second, 简称: Mbps )为单位, 比如说 20Mbps、 50Mbps、 100Mbps, 是固定的, 对源媒体流内容进行不同质量级别的编码, 生成不同 码率的媒体版本 (representation) , 并将这些不同码率的媒体内容切割分片生 成 segment文件, 同时生成相应的 MPD文件, 其中 MPD文件为客户端提供 segment 的详细描述信息, 包括码率、 分辨率、 统一资源定位符 (Uniform Resource Locator, 简称: URL)地址, segment时间长短等; 然后根据客户端 的视频直播请求, MPD文件分发功能模块向客户端发送 MPD文件, 使得客 户端根据 MPD文件获得媒体资源列表,并从中选择与自己当前信道可用带宽 状况以及信道状态相对匹配码率的 segment,之后 segment分发功能模块向客 户端发送其选择的 segment。 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, abbreviation: HTTP) The 3GP-DASH content preparation module of the server is based on the specified bit rate of the source media stream provider when the source media stream is input, usually in megabits per second (Megabits Per Second, Mbps for short). ), for example, 20Mbps, 50Mbps, 100Mbps, is fixed, encodes the source media stream content at different quality levels, generates media versions of different bitrates, and cuts the media content of these different bitrates. The slice file is generated and the corresponding MPD file is generated. The MPD file provides the client with detailed description information of the segment, including the code rate, the resolution, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address, and the length of the segment. Then, according to the video live broadcast request of the client, the MPD file distribution function module sends the MPD file to the client, so that the client obtains the media resource list according to the MPD file, and selects a matching bit rate from the current channel available bandwidth state and the channel state. Segment, after segmen The t distribution function module sends the segment selected by the client to the client.
然而, 对于移动网络, 用户可用带宽波动较大, 现有的 3GP-DASH视频 传输技术, HTTP服务器提供给用户客户端的几个固定码率, 容易存在即使 用户选择最小码率的媒体流仍然出现播放不流畅的问题。 However, for mobile networks, the user's available bandwidth fluctuates greatly. The existing 3GP-DASH video transmission technology, the HTTP server provides several fixed bit rates to the user's client, which is easy to exist even if The media stream that the user selects the minimum bit rate still has a problem that the playback is not smooth.

具体实施方式 为了使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合附图对本 发明作进一歩地详细描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部份实施 例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在 没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例, 都属于本发明保护的 范围。 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which All embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.
现有技术中, DASH视频传输方案, 在视频传输时, 按照视频提供方指 定的几个固定码率,对源媒体流生成具有固定码率的 segment以及与 segment 对应的 MPD, 在 MPD中包含指定的几个固定码率, 以供客户端选择。 然而 对于视频直播服务, 用户的流动性很大, 并且不同的时段用户的数量也大不 相同,使得用户的网络带宽等波动性较大,采用现有的 DASH视频传输方案, 预先生成具有固定码率的 segment, 具有延时较大的问题, 并且只能提供几个 固定码率的 segment, 可能存在用户人数多时播放不流畅,用户人数少时不能 充分利用用户的有效网络带宽的问题。  In the prior art, the DASH video transmission scheme generates a segment with a fixed bit rate and an MPD corresponding to the segment for the source media stream according to several fixed bit rates specified by the video provider during video transmission, and includes the designation in the MPD. Several fixed bitrates are available for the client to choose. However, for the live video service, the user's mobility is very large, and the number of users in different time periods is also very different, so that the user's network bandwidth and the like are relatively volatile, and the existing DASH video transmission scheme is used to generate a fixed code in advance. The segment of the rate has a large delay, and can only provide a few fixed bit rate segments. There may be a problem that the number of users is not smooth when the number of users is large, and the effective network bandwidth of the user cannot be fully utilized when the number of users is small.
图 2为本发明提供的视频传输方法实施例一的流程图, 如图 2所示, 该 方法实施例, 包括如下歩骤:  FIG. 2 is a flowchart of Embodiment 1 of a video transmission method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method embodiment includes the following steps:
歩骤 201、服务器接收用户设备 UE发送的视频请求信息,视频请求信息 包含 UE标识, 其中该服务器, 可以是 HTTP服务器, 可用于向 UE客户端提 供视频直播服务。  Step 201: The server receives the video request information sent by the user equipment UE, where the video request information includes a UE identifier, where the server may be an HTTP server, and may be used to provide a video live broadcast service to the UE client.
歩骤 202、 服务器根据 UE标识获取 UE所在网络的第一负载信息。  Step 202: The server acquires first load information of a network where the UE is located according to the UE identifier.
其中, UE标识包括但不限定于国际移动用户识别码(International Mobile Subscriber Identity, 简称: IMSI) , 移动设备国际身份码 (International Mobile Equipment Identity, 简称: IMEI) , 移动台国际综合业务数字网 (Integrated Services Digital Network,简称: ISDN)号码 (Mobile Station international ISDN number, 简称: MSISDN)。  The UE identifier includes, but is not limited to, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), and Mobile International Integrated Services Digital Network (Integrated). Services Digital Network, referred to as: ISDN) number (Mobile Station international ISDN number, referred to as: MSISDN).
本发明实施例中的负载信息, 包括 UE所在网络的基站侧负载信息和 /或 核心网侧负载信息, 其中, 基站侧的负载信息, 可以包括但不限于: 基站侧 所连接的用户数, 基站当前所服务的业务量的大小, 基站侧的可用带宽信息, 物理资源块 (Physical Resource Block, 简称: PRB ) 的使用情况; 核心网络 侧的负载信息, 可以包括但不限定于: 网络当前的实际用户数, 即其所连接 的所有基站侧的用户数的总和、 网络当前连接的所有基站服务的业务量的总 和, 核心网络的处理能力以及存储能力。 第一负载信息, 可以包括第一基站 负载信息和 /或第一核心网负载信息。 当核心网所服务的基站小区存在小区之 间负载不均等, 资源利用不平衡的情况时, 如有的小区内用户数较少、 负载 轻, 而有的小区内用户数较多、 负载重时, 由于所有用户的业务数据包都需 要经过核心网进行处理 (如服务质量 QoS控制、 策略和计费、 路由选择和数 据转发等), 为了更好地实现既提高基站侧无线资源的利用率, 又提高核心网 的处理效率, 可以在考虑基站侧的负载信息的同时也考虑核心网负载信息。 The load information in the embodiment of the present invention includes the base station side load information and/or the core network side load information of the network where the UE is located, where the load information of the base station side may include, but is not limited to: the number of users connected to the base station side, the base station The amount of traffic currently served, the available bandwidth information on the base station side, The usage of the physical resource block (Physical Resource Block, PRB for short); the load information of the core network side, which may include but is not limited to: the current actual number of users on the network, that is, the sum of the number of users on all base stations connected to it. The sum of the traffic of all base station services currently connected to the network, the processing power of the core network, and the storage capacity. The first load information may include first base station load information and/or first core network load information. When the base station cell served by the core network has uneven load between cells and the resource utilization is unbalanced, if there are fewer users in the cell and the load is light, and some users in the cell have more users and the load is heavy, Since all the user's service data packets need to be processed through the core network (such as quality of service QoS control, policy and charging, routing, and data forwarding, etc.), in order to better improve the utilization of the radio resources of the base station side, In addition, the processing efficiency of the core network is improved, and the core network load information can be considered while considering the load information on the base station side.
歩骤 203、服务器生成具有第一码率的第一媒体分片 segment以及与第一 segment对应的第一媒体表示描述文件 MPD, 第一码率与第一负载信息相匹 配;  Step 203: The server generates a first media fragment segment having a first code rate and a first media representation description file MPD corresponding to the first segment, where the first code rate matches the first load information.
其中, 第一码率与第一负载信息相匹配, 指第一码率的码率值与用户的 当前网络负载信息相匹配, 与现有技术中的固定码率值相比, 该第一码率可 以具有比最高固定码率值高的码率值, 也可以具有比最低固定码率值低的码 率值。 若当前用户数量较大, 网络负载较大, 可用带宽较小, 服务器生成的 segment, 具有较低码率值的第一码率, 比如说, 现有技术中最低固定码率值 为 20Mbps, 该第一码率的码率值可能是 10Mbps, 使得当前用户可以流畅播 放该视频; 若当前用户数量较小, 网络负载较小, 可用带宽较大, 服务器生 成的 segment, 具有较高码率值的第一码率, 比如说, 现有技术中, 最高固定 码率为 100Mbps, 该第一码率的码率值可能是 120Mbps, 以充分利用用户当 前的网络带宽, 使得当前用户可以享受更流畅、 更高质量的视频直播。  The first code rate matches the first load information, and the code rate value of the first code rate matches the current network load information of the user, and the first code is compared with the fixed code rate value in the prior art. The rate may have a higher rate value than the highest fixed rate value, or may have a lower rate value than the lowest fixed rate value. If the current number of users is large, the network load is large, the available bandwidth is small, and the segment generated by the server has a first code rate with a lower bit rate value. For example, the lowest fixed bit rate value in the prior art is 20 Mbps. The code rate of the first bit rate may be 10 Mbps, so that the current user can smoothly play the video; if the current number of users is small, the network load is small, the available bandwidth is large, and the segment generated by the server has a higher bit rate value. The first code rate, for example, in the prior art, the highest fixed code rate is 100 Mbps, and the code rate value of the first code rate may be 120 Mbps, so as to fully utilize the current network bandwidth of the user, so that the current user can enjoy smoother, A higher quality live video.
值得注意的是, 对于多个用户, 服务器可以根据所有用户的第一负载信 息, 确定与其中最小第一负载信息相匹配的第一码率的最大码率值, 以及确 定与其中最高第一负载信息相匹配的第一码率的最小码率值, 对于具有中间 值的第一负载信息, 可以进行统计归类, 确定与不同类别的第一负载信息相 匹配的第一码率的中间码率值, 比如说, 可以将第一负载信息的中间值按从 小到达大分成 8 类, 则服务器相应地生成具有 8 个不同中间码率值的第一 segment, 具体的统计归类, 本发明对此不作限定。 歩骤 204、服务器向 UE发送第一 MPD, 以使 UE根据第一 MPD获取第 一码率; It should be noted that, for multiple users, the server may determine a maximum code rate value of the first code rate that matches the minimum first load information according to the first load information of all users, and determine the highest first load therein. The minimum code rate value of the first code rate matched by the information, for the first load information having the intermediate value, may be statistically classified to determine the intermediate code rate of the first code rate that matches the first load information of different classes For example, the intermediate value of the first load information may be divided into 8 categories according to the small arrival and large, and the server accordingly generates a first segment having 8 different intermediate code rate values, and the specific statistical classification, the present invention Not limited. Step 204: The server sends a first MPD to the UE, so that the UE acquires the first code rate according to the first MPD.
其中,第一 MPD包含由第一码率的最大码率值,第一码率的最小码率值, 以及多个第一码率的中间码率值组成的第一码率集, 使得不同的 UE可以从 该第一码率集中, 获取具有与自身第一负载信息最为匹配的码率值的一个第 一码率。  The first MPD includes a first code rate set consisting of a maximum code rate value of the first code rate, a minimum code rate value of the first code rate, and a plurality of intermediate code rate values of the first code rate, so that the first code rate set is different. The UE may obtain, from the first code rate set, a first code rate having a code rate value that most closely matches the first load information of the UE.
歩骤 205、服务器接收 UE发送的分片请求信息, 分片请求信息包含第一 码率, 并根据该第一码率向 UE发送第一 segment。  Step 205: The server receives the fragmentation request information sent by the UE, where the fragmentation request information includes a first code rate, and sends the first segment to the UE according to the first code rate.
其中, 若分片请求信息包含的第一码率是第一码率的最小值, 则根据该 第一码率的最小值向 UE发送具有最小码率值的第一 segment。  If the first code rate included in the fragmentation request information is the minimum value of the first code rate, the first segment having the smallest code rate value is sent to the UE according to the minimum value of the first code rate.
优选地, 歩骤 204, 服务器向 UE发送第一 MPD文件之后, 还包括: 服务器根据 UE标识获取 UE所在网络的第二负载信息;  Preferably, after the server sends the first MPD file to the UE, the method further includes: obtaining, by the server, the second load information of the network where the UE is located according to the UE identifier;
