Abstract

In this paper, we construct a commercial 4K UHD(Ultra High Definition) streaming device that utilizes a 5G mobile communication network as a transport channel and conduct a streaming performance test. It uses RTP(Realtime Transport Protocol) which has transmission quality monitoring capability as a transmission protocol to apply adaptive streaming. In addition, it provides the function to adjust the encoding rate of the video signal so that encoding can be optimized for the change in the bandwidth of the transmission channel. Through the performance test, it is confirmed that the H.265 encoding rate for 4K UHD signal is 48.69Mbps, the average glass-to-glass delay time is 293.60ms, and the average time difference between video and audio for lip sync is 120ms. With the result of performance test, it is shown that the streaming device is applied to 4K UHD Streaming device over 5G mobile communication network.

본 논문에서는 5G 이동통신망을 전송채널로 활용하는 4K UHD(Ultra High Definition) 상용 스트리밍 장치를 구성하고 성능시험 결과를 제시한다. 스트리밍 장치는 전송품질에 대한 모니터링 기능을 제공하는 RTP(Realtime Transport Protocol)를 전송 프로토콜로 적용하여 적응형 스트리밍 기능을 제공한다. 또한, 전송채널의 대역폭 변화에 최적화된 인코딩을 위하여 영상신호의 인코딩률을 조절할 수 있는 기능을 제공하며, 세 개의 5G 이동통신망과 인터페이스 되어 특정 채널에서의 장애 발생 시 다른 채널을 통해 스트리밍하는 자동 절체 기능도 제공한다. 성능시험을 통하여 4K UHD 신호에 대한 H.265 인코딩률은 48.69Mbps, Glass-to-Glass 평균 지연시간은 293.60ms, 립싱크를 위한 비디오 및 오디오의 평균 시간 차이는 120ms 수준임이 확인되어, 개발제품이 5G 이동통신망을 통한 4K UHD 스트리밍 장치로 적용될 수 있음을 보인다.
