Abstract

This paper compares transport overhead of MPEG-2 TS, MMT and ROUTE in order to compare transport efficiency between the DTV and UHDTV. The MPEG-2 TS standard, widely used, was established for multiplexing and synchronizing encoded audio and video, additional information. In recent years, MMT and ROUTE was established as a next generation multimedia transport standard for the new broadcasting communication environment. In this paper, we compare and analyze transport overhead about three protocol. In order to analysis, we captured the UHD A/V stream in real-time broadcasting service using ROUTE and MMT, and we calculated and analyzed transport overhead using the overhead analysis program which was developed in our laboratory. Furthermore, for comparison under the same conditions, we assumed the MPEG-2 TS stream by extracting ES of UHD A/V stream based on the DTV standard. In this paper, we show the results of protocol transport efficiency in case of basic A/V stream except for additional services. And result show that MMT and ROUTE have similar overhead and MPEG-2 TS is relatively small overhead. However, since MPEG-2 TS result does not consider null packets, it is expected that the relative overhead difference will be reduced.

본 논문에서는 기존 DTV 방식과 UHDTV의 두 가지 방식에 대한 상세한 전송 효율 비교를 위해, DTV 방송에서 오디오, 비디오, 부가 정보를 다중화하고 동기화하는 데에 널리 쓰이던 MPEG-2 TS 스트림과 새로운 방송 통신 환경에 맞추어 등장한 차세대 멀티미디어 방송 규격인 MMT, ROUTE 등 세 가지 프로토콜의 전달 오버헤드를 분석하여 비교한다. 신뢰성 있는 비교를 위해 실제 상용 UHD 방송서비스에서 제공되고 있는 ROUTE 및 MMT AV 스트림을 캡쳐하고, 이를 개발한 전달 오버헤드 분석 프로그램을 이용해 상세 결과를 도출한다. 또한, 동일한 조건에서의 비교를 위해서 UHD 스트림으로부터 추출한 ES를 DTV 표준에 적용하여 MPEG-2 TS 스트림의 오버헤드를 계산한다. 이를 종합하여 별도의 부가서비스를 제외하고 기본적인 AV 스트림만을 전송하는 경우에 프로토콜 간 전송 효율을 계산 및 분석한 결과, MMT와 ROUTE는 오버헤드가 비슷한 양상을 보이고 MPEG-2 TS는 상대적으로 작게 보임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 MPEG-2 TS의 경우 널 패킷을 고려하지 않았으므로 이를 고려하면 상대적 오버헤드 차이는 줄어들 것으로 예상된다.
