The This invention relates generally to packet communication, and more particularly on message header compression in packet communication.
Of the Expression header compression (HC, Header Compression) refers to the art of minimizing the required bandwidth for in Package message headers included Information on a basis per jump or per leg (English: Per hop basis) Point-to-point connections. Message header information normally becomes detected by sending static information only at the beginning. Then semistatic information is transmitted by only the change is sent in relation to the previous message header and Completely random Information can be sent without compression. Consequently, will Message header compression usually with a state machine realized.
A traditional VoIP (Voice over IP) data packet basically consists of three parts with different quality requirements, as in 1 shown. The three parts are:
(1) A compressed or uncompressed message header 11 , For example, real-time speech often uses a conventional IP / UDP / RTP message header;
(2) the speech codec bits at the part 12 that are most significant or most important for voice quality. For example, in the full rate GSM voice codec, there are three classes of bits: 1A, 1B, and 2, with the Class 1A and Class 2 voice codec bits respectively being the most important and the least important to voice quality; and
(3) the voice codec bits at the part 13 which are least important to the voice quality, for example class 2 bits in GSM.
One conventional Message header compression scheme for IP / UDP / RTP, such as the one in the internet draft "Compressing IP / UDP / RTP Headers for Low-Speed Serial Links "(compressing IP / UDP / RTP headers for serial Low speed compounds) by S. Casner and V. Jacksson, July 27, 1988, typically has a license plate number soft state (English: Soft State Characteristics), so that the state of HC (message header compression) from the previous ones headers depend can. An error in a compressed message header may be too lead to a loss of the corresponding packages. Because every message head usually as a change with respect to the previous message header is (delta coding, English: delta coding) is an error in a compressed message header a faulty condition that will cause subsequent data packets get lost until the soft state of the HC is updated. When the payload for the data packets with the compressed message headers Real-time service involves, then the loss of some consecutive Data packets disastrous for the quality be this real service. For example, the quality of a Real-time language service deteriorate significantly with subsequent ones lost voice data frame. If the error rate of the voice data frame has a characteristic with amplitude accumulations or bursts, then the voice quality will be worse than for the same error ratio of Voice data frame, but with a less correlated data frame error characteristic.
The effects of bit errors can vary, depending on where in the VoIP data packet the bit errors occur:
(1) Bit error in the part 13 of the 1 (the least important speech codec bits) result in slightly degraded quality for the language included in this specific package.
(2) Bit error in the part 12 of the 1 (the most important voice codec bits) can lead to such a serious degradation of voice quality that the data packet will be deemed useless and will not be used in the voice decoder. Consequently, the specific data packet may be due to bit errors in the part 12 of the data packet are lost.
(3) Bit error in the part 11 of the 1 (the message header, compressed or not) will likely result in the loss of this specific data packet because it can not be transferred to the upper layers of the protocol stack. Furthermore, it may also result in a number of subsequent lost future data packets because the soft state of the message header compression is now erroneous. These are the most serious errors because bit errors in a data packet can result in the loss of a number of subsequent data packets.
The conventional header compression algorithms are made for narrowband, wireline channels, with the error rate of the channel being fairly stationary and minor. Furthermore, the use of the channel does not affect other users with similar channels. This is not the case for wireless channels. The quality of a wireless channel can change quickly and use of the channel affects other users in terms of interference. In a wireless channel message header compression scheme, the likelihood of errors in the compressed message headers be large and the impact of these errors on compressed headers must be reduced.
It generally gives two approaches to prevent this problem either by minimizing the time it takes the soft one HC state update, or the probability of bit errors in compressed news heads to minimize.
A known way of updating the soft HC state in it, full news heads regularly and often send out. For example, a full message header may be in every fifth voice packet to be sent while sent compressed message headers in the other data packets become. When using a channel with a fixed bitrate should be, then the bit rate of this channel becomes typical chosen in terms of the largest data packet size, because delay variations not desirable are. Consequently, the bit rate of the channel becomes a packet chosen with a full message head, resulting in a waste resources (such as radio resources). Furthermore, in order to Robustness in such a message header compression scheme to achieve the frequency of the full message head be great what the degree of compression and the efficiency of the message header compression scheme reduced. Consequently, the regular updates of the Message head compression state with full news heads either to inefficient message header compression or to an efficient header compression without the necessary Robustness over for example, lead to bit errors.
A another way to update the soft state of the message header compression in that the message header compression scheme is an update of the soft state whenever it is necessary. however This approach requires a duplex channel with a short one Round trip time (English: Round Trip Time) to the periods or time intervals with faulty soft state to keep it short. Furthermore, such a scheme requires also that the reverse channel, the request for carrying the update of the soft state is generally reliable.
It is desirable in view of the foregoing, an update to provide the soft state of a message header compression scheme, while the aforementioned disadvantages of the approach of the prior Technology can be avoided.
The present invention proposes before, the soft state of a message header compression scheme in a communication system, the data packet traffic including one Real-time communication signal transmits to update. The header compression state may be during (such) time periods be updated while the communication signal is inactive. Also sees the invention to update the message header compression state by Bits from the communication signal are stolen to the message header update information to wear. If the communication signal contains queued data, the invention fails before, the message header compression state to selectively update based on the bitrate of a codec, the has generated the source coded data. This operation or this Action may be updating the message header compression state enable, without stealing a single of the source coded data.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there may be provided a communication apparatus for transmitting information to a second communication apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a data packet unit having an input for receiving payload information and having an output for transmission to the second apparatus of packets, Payload information and message header information included; a message header unit coupled to the data packet unit for providing to the same (the data packet unit) message header information and also for providing to same message header update information to be used by the second device, header information in subsequent ones of the data packet unit out to the second device to send transmitted data packets; and wherein the data packet unit is operable to replace, prior to transmission of one of the data packets, at least a portion of the payload information by the message header update information.
Also become a method of transmission source coded data according to claim 16 and a communication device according to claim 19 provided.

13 FIG. 12 illustrates exemplary operations that may be performed in accordance with the invention to support soft HC update when the data packet payload contains source coded data.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention may cooperate with DTX techniques used in most conventional digital voice services. DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) includes techniques for detecting non-speech (silence) periods and sending descriptors for "silence only" (SID data frames) during these periods to provide comfort noise This comfort noise provides the illusion of continuous transmission of audio signals, so in non-voice periods, the transmitted data packets have a format similar to that of the in 1 is shown, with the exception that the payload range (at 12 and 13 ) contains a SID data frame. 2 and 3 show conventional DTX schemes, especially the original DTX ( 2 ) and the so-called soft DTX ( 3 ).
Message header update information may be a SID data frame of the 2 can be added or a SID data frame the 2 replace. In GSM, for example, SID data frames (see 21 in 2 ) regularly during silence periods (once every 0.48 seconds). The desired update of the message header compression state may be completed by updating the message header update information, such as a complete message header, along with (see 41 ) or instead (see 42 ) of a SID data frame is sent, as in the 2 and 4 can be seen. In another embodiment, the update of the header compression state is achieved in conjunction with the conventional soft DTX technique (as described in "Continuous and Dis-Continuous Power Reduced Transmission of Speech Inactivity for the GSM System ", (" Continuous and discontinuous low-power transmission of speech inactivity for the GSM system "), Stefan Bruhn et al., GlobeCom 98, as in 3 illustrated. The soft DTX technique makes it possible, during non-speech periods, to stream a SID data frame 31 that does not cause much interference to other connections. Thus, soft DTX could be used to carry message header update information during the non-speech periods, as in FIG 5 shown.
An example of the above-described use of DTX to provide soft state updates of HC is given in US Pat 6 shown. If at 61 an update is desired will be included 62 determines if the DTX operation occurs. If so, then the message header update information is included 63 sent, either in addition to the SID data frame (see 5 , and 41 in 4 ) or instead of a SID data frame (see 42 in 4 ).
In conventional video coding, the transmitting station outputs a sequence of data frames each containing, for example, information indicative of a difference between a picture currently being taken and the picture taken immediately before the current picture. During periods in which the image seen at the transmitting station does not change, therefore, the transmitting station sends data frames for a "static image" which data frames indicate that the current image does not (or at least does not exceed a predetermined limit) immediately preceding image. These "static image" data frames are thus analogous to the aforementioned SID data frames by being assigned to periods of "static video" in which no (or no significant) image changes occur. Consequently, the above with reference to the 2 to 6 also be applicable to embodiments of video data packets, wherein the header updating information is sent either in addition to the data frame for a "static image" or instead of a data frame for a "static image" during a period of "static video".
Exemplary embodiments of the invention replace data packet payload bits, eg, voice data frame bits, video data frame bits, or payload bits representing any desired information, with message head compression state update information. If the header compression state is erroneous (due, for example, to bit errors in previous compressed message headers), then the payload bits (see, for example, FIG 12 and 13 in 1 ) is not delivered to the application level until the message header compression state is restored. Consequently, the payload bits are useless in any case until the message header compression state is restored. Using speech data frames as a payload example, by replacing a portion of the speech data frame with message header compression update information, immediate-to-future speech data frames can be delivered to the application layer. Portions of a voice data frame or the entire voice data frame may be replaced with header updating information. This payload bit replacement is also referred to herein as "bit stealing" because payload bits are "stolen" and instead used to carry header updating information.
If it is decided which speech data frame bits to replace with header updating information, then the features of the speech codec may be considered. Most conventional speech codecs classify their output bits by their relative importance. For example, as stated above, the full rate GSM voice codec has three classes of bits of different importance: Class 1A, 1B, and Class 2. Class 1A bits are the most important, and Class 2 bits are the least important. Therefore, header updating information bits would preferably replace class 2 bits where they are available because these bits are least important for the resulting speech quality. 7 shows examples of how this can be achieved.
In 7 become at 71 all bits except the most important bits are stolen, and at 72 All bits are stolen. When looking at the 73 and 74 Updates shown will become available for a longer time 73 less bits stolen while for a shorter time 74 more bits are stolen.
Even though the inventive bit-stealing techniques of selecting among the bits of different ones Importance levels above in terms of the example of a voice codec, which classifies its output bits by relative importance, have been described, these bit stealing techniques are applicable on every type of codec, its output bits on the relative importance classified. A video codec is also exemplary for this Type of codec.
In embodiments where the payload contains source encoded data, the soft state of the header compression can be updated in FIG Related to variations in the bit rate of a codec that has generated the source coded data and without stealing any of the source coded data bits. For example, a conventional codec, such as a voice or video codec, typically lowers its bit rate for two exemplary reasons: (1) The codec can adjust its bit rate to channel conditions (so-called channel adaptive mode), lowering the bit rate when the channel is overcrowded; and (2) the codec can adapt its bit rate to the behavior of the source (so-called source adaptive mode), reducing its bit rate when the source (eg, a voice source or a video source) generates less source stimulus information (ie, more period of Silence or "static video"). The lowered bit-rate in the source adaptive mode is advantageous for broadcasting header updating information because fewer bits are used to represent the source stimulus so that more bits remain available for use with the header updating information.
13 FIG. 12 illustrates exemplary functions that may be performed to implement the above-described use of a reduced codec bit rate to facilitate soft heading compression updates in source encoded data packet embodiments, such as voice or video packet embodiments. If at 121 an update of a soft HC state is desired, then it is added afterwards 122 determines if the codec bit rate is below a threshold level TH (English: Threshold). Threshold level TH can be determined empirically to provide the desired performance. If the codec bit rate at 122 below TH, then at 126 the header updating information is sent together with the source coded data in a packet.
If at 122 the codec bit rate is not below TH, then at 124 It is determined whether the codec is instructed to lower its bit rate below TH or not. If yes, then join 125 the codec is instructed to decrease its bit rate below TH, and the message header update information may be at 126 be sent in a package together with the source coded data. In embodiments where the codec is not instructed to reduce its bit rate, the operation of 124 back to 122 flow.
After at 126 the header updating information is sent may include the codec bit rate 127 be restored as needed (ie, if included) 125 was reduced).
The invention also provides for partial updating of the message header compression state. For example, it may be decided to update only one field (or fewer fields) at a particular time in the message header. As a specific example, if a given speech data frame did not have enough bits to steal to allow a complete update of the message header state, then only the RTP sequence number of the RTP area of an IP / UDP / RTP message header in that speech data frame would need to be updated , The use of fewer bits to send partial update information may in some cases provide sufficient update of the soft HC state, but in other cases this may cause completion of the desired update to take more time (see, for example, FIG 73 in 7 ).
8th Figure 13 illustrates exemplary modes that may be performed to implement a bit stealing scheme according to the invention. If at 81 an update is desired, then at 82 determines whether enough bits are to be used for stealing and are available to broadcast the complete header update information. If yes, then join 83 steals the bits and uses to send the complete header updating information. If at 82 not enough bits are available, for example, not enough class 2 GSM voice bits, or not enough payload bits in total, then become 84 steals the available bits and uses to send part of the message header update information.
As by the broken lines in the 6 . 8th and 13 As shown, the corresponding operating modes shown therein can be combined in many ways. For example, if in voice or video embodiments in 6 an update is desired, but at 62 DTX (or "static video") mode does not occur, then either the bit stealing operations or functions of the 8th or the codec related operations of the 13 be executed. As another example, when the operations of the 13 can not lead to sending header updating information, then either the bit stealing operations of the 8th or the DTX / "static video" operations of the 6 be executed. The decision on whether an update is desired (see 61 . 81 and 121 ) can be made using conventional criteria.
With reference again to the update techniques of DTX / "static video" the 4 and 5 is in 9 an example of a data packet containing the update information sent during the non-voice / "static video" period. The exemplary data packet of 9 contains a conventional message header (compressed or not), a soft-state update flag 91 and a message header update information area 93 , The flag bit 91 for the soft state update, it is possible for a communication station to download the data packet of the 9 receives, recognizes that the data packet header updating information 93 contains, wherein the receiving communication station, the data packet of 9 not confused with a conventional voice (or video) data packet or a conventional SID (or "static image") data frame data packet. As in broken lines 94 in 9 shown, the message header update information 93 and the flag bit 91 Also included in a data packet with a SID (or "static image") data frame, as above in relation to the 5 and 41 of the 4 is discussed.
10 FIG. 12 illustrates an example of a data packet that may be used to transmit the header updating information when using the inventive technique of stealing payload bits, and these are used to transmit the header updating information. The data package of 10 contains a conventional message header (compressed or not), a flag bit 110 for the soft state update and message header update information 111 , The flag bit 110 is provided so that a receiving communication station will recognize that the data packet is the 10 in addition to (or instead of) payload data includes header updating information. The example of 10 indicates in broken lines that part 112 payload, for example, the most significant speech codec bits 12 in the 1 , along with the message header update information 111 may be included in the data packet.
The data package of 10 is also exemplary of a data packet that can be used to update header updating information according to the codec related technique 13 transferred to. In this case, the entire payload can 112 may be included because the lowered codec bit rate threshold TH can be set as needed to allow the header information 111 can be added (added) without stealing any payload (ie, source encoded data) bits.
11 FIG. 12 illustrates exemplary modes that may be performed in accordance with the present invention to assist in updating the soft state of the HC when receiving data packets. If at 101 a data packet is received, then at 103 determines whether or not the data packet contains a soft state update flag bit (e.g. 91 in 9 or at 110 in 10 ). If no, then there is no update of the HC soft state. If so, then the message header update information (see 93 in 9 or 111 in 10 ) at 104 recovered and at 105 used to perform the update of the soft HC state.
12 Figure 11 illustrates the important parts of exemplary embodiments of a communication station according to the invention capable of the same as described above with reference to Figs 1 - 11 and 13 perform exemplary operations described. The exemplary communication station of 12 may be a wireless station, such as a mobile radio transceiver, such as a mobile telephone, or a radio transceiver at a fixed location. The communication station of 12 may also be a wired communication station for use with wired channels, such as a videoconferencing host.
The communication station of 12 contains a communication port 131 for providing the substantial information (e.g., voice or video information) to a data packet unit 132 and for receiving the substantive information from the data packet unit 132 , The communication port 131 Also provides message header information to a message header unit 133 ready. The message header unit 133 For example, conventional techniques may use message headers (compressed or not) from the communication port 131 provided message header information. The message header unit 133 places output message headers to the data packet unit 132 also provides and receives incoming message headers from the data packet unit 132 ,
The data packet unit 132 is conventionally operable to that of the message header unit 133 received header bits and the substantial information bits (ie payload bits) received from the communication port 131 received to form an outgoing data packet, such as in 1 illustrated. The data packet unit 132 can forward the merged data packet to a radio unit 134 that the data packet over a radio link 135 transfers. In other Ausfüh forms (for example a video conference master computer), the data packet unit 132 Output data packets to a circuit-based communication channel (e.g., a data network such as the Internet) as shown in broken lines. The outgoing data packets in 12 may be received by a receiving station (not shown) having, for example, a structure and functionality analogous to the communication station of the 12 exhibit.
The data packet unit 132 also receives from the radio unit 134 incoming data packets coming from the radio unit via the radio link 135 be received. The data packet unit 132 decomposes the incoming data packets in a conventional manner and provides the substantial information from each incoming data packet to the communication port 131 for conventional use. The data packet unit also provides the message headers from the incoming data packets to the message header unit 133 , which decompresses it as necessary using conventional techniques, and then forwards the message header information to the communication port 131 ,
The data packet unit 132 can also from the communication port 131 a DTX indication (ie, no voice activity) or a "static video" indication (ie, no video activity), upon which information the data packet unit is receiving 132 can answer by outputting data packets containing SID / "static image" data frames, as is generally the case 2 and 3 illustrated.
The data packet unit may also communicate with a codec (not shown) to receive and provide bitrate information therefrom to reduce / restore the bit rate, as discussed above with reference to FIG 13 described.
The message header unit 133 is associated with message header update information with the data packet unit 132 and the data packet unit 132 if it is desired to send message header update information in an outgoing data packet. In response to receiving a signal to broadcast header updating information in an outgoing data packet, the data packet unit 132 in the 6 . 8th and 13 perform operations illustrated, either individually or in combination as desired, as discussed above. A data packet, such as in 9 can be generated when the mode for DTX or "static video" occurs, and it can be a data packet, such as in 10 illustrated, when the mode for DTX does not occur.
If the communication station of the 12 receives an incoming data packet, then it can receive the in 11 illustrated exemplifying modes of operation. If the data packet unit 132 an update flag bit, such as at 91 in 9 or at 110 in 10 when detected, the data packet unit may retrieve the message header update information and this message header update information to the message header unit 133 provide along with a signal instructing the message header unit to update a soft HC state. For example, if the header updating information includes a complete message header, then the header unit may update the complete header in a conventional manner (ie
To update) his message head compression state machine (not shown).
It is for the professionals in the technical field, that the one described above Invention by means of suitable modifications in hardware, software or both in, for example, a data packet communication area or a conventional, wireline Communication station.
As can be seen from the previous reviews, represents the The present invention has exemplary advantages over the prior art State of the art ready: a continuous updating of the Header compression state can be within a constant-bitrate channel in a resource-efficient Be realized manner; the time during which the message header compression scheme is in a faulty state, is in a resource-efficient Way reduced; and the number of lost data packets due the erroneous message header compression state is decreased being the quality of real-time services.
