Description
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Other objects and aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, which is set forth hereinafter. FIGS. 2A and 2B are diagrams describing a transmission method of a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2A, the DMB system of the present invention includes a process of high-efficiency video encoding at step 201 for compressing video data, a process of high-efficiency audio encoding for compressing audio data at step 202, a process of insertion of additional data at step 203, a process of objectification for interactive service at step 204, a process of synchronization at step 210 for synchronizing media streams outputted from the processes of video encoding at the step 201, audio encoding at the step 202, additional data insertion at the step 203, and objectification for interactive service at the step 204, a process of multiplexing for mixing the synchronized media streams at step 220, and a process of encoding and interleaving for correcting an error to be occurred in the media stream multiplexed in the process of multiplexing and interleaving at step 230. The DMB system transmits DMB data as follows. First, at the steps 201 and 202, high-efficiency source encoding for compressing multimedia data is performed and, at the step 204, objectification for interactive service is performed. Then, at the step 210, video/audio/additional data streams are synchronized and, at step 220, the media streams are multiplexed. Subsequently, at step 230, error correction encoding and interleaving are performed on the multiplexed stream in order to secure excellent reception quality in a high-speed mobile channel environment. The stream obtained by using the error correction encoding and the interleaving is transmitted to the DAB system and other digital broadcasting systems. Herein, the digital broadcasting systems include a digital television (TV) broadcasting system, a digital satellite broadcasting system, and a digital cable broadcasting system. Meanwhile, if the DAB system and the digital broadcasting system show excellent system performance in a high-speed mobile channel environment, a DMB transmission scheme as shown in FIG. 2B which does not include the error correction encoding and interleaving of the step 230 can be applied. FIGS. 3A and 3B are block diagrams illustrating a DMB system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The drawings show system technologies applied to the DMB of FIGS. 2A and 2B. As shown in FIG. 3A, the DMB system of the present invention can be divided into a DMB transmitter 310 and a DMB receiver 320. First, the DMB transmitter 310 uses an MPEG-4 audio encoder 311 and an MPEG-4 video encoder 312 for high-efficiency source encoding, and it uses an MPEG-4 systems encoder 313 for objectification and synchronization of media stream. It uses an MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) multiplexer 314 for multiplexing media stream, and it uses a Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder 315 for additional error correction encoding. The DMB transmitter 310 uses a convolutional byte interleaver 316 to remove temporal correlation between neighboring byte units in data stream. The finally outputted DMB media stream is inputted through a stream mode of a DAB transmission system 317 or data channels of the other digital broadcasting systems. The DMB receiver 320 receives multimedia data, which are passed through a receiving channel of the DAB receiving system 321 or those of the other digital broadcasting systems, pass through the convolutional byte deinterleaver 322, the RS decoder 323, the MPEG-2 TS demultiplexer 324, the MPEG-4 systems decoder 325, the MPEG-4 video decoder 326, and the MPEG-4 audio decoder 327. If the conventional digital broadcasting systems 317 and 321 show excellent system performance in the high-speed mobile channel environment, a DMB transmission scheme can be embodied without the multiplexing process and the error correction encoding and interleaving process, which is shown in FIG. 3B. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a media processor of the DMB system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. It shows a structure of a DMB media processor that performs functions from compression to multiplexing of multimedia data. Herein, the media processor includes an MPEG-4 video/audio encoder, an MPEG-4 systems encoder, and an MPEG-2 TS multiplexer. As shown in FIG. 4, the media processor of the DMB system of the present invention includes a preprocessor 410, an MPEG-4 encoder 421 and 422, an object descriptor (OD)/binary format for scene (BIFS) generator 431, an Initial Object Descriptor (IOD) generator 432, a sync layer (SL) packetizer 433, a Program Elementary Stream (PES) packetizer 441, a 14496 section packetizer 442, a PSI generator 443, a TS packetizer 444. The preprocessor 410 converts an audio/video signal into a data stream of a desired format. The MPEG-4 encoder 421 and 422 compresses the data stream outputted from the preprocessor 410 into a high compressed media stream. The OD/BIFS generator 431 generates object descriptor (OD) and binary format for scene (BIFS). The IOD generator 432 generates the initial object descriptor (IOD). The sync layer packetizer 433 synchronizes media streams outputted from the MPEG-4 encoder 421 and 422 and the OD/BIFS generator 431. The PES packetizer 441 packetizes a packet outputted from the sync layer packetizer 433 into a PES packet. The 14496 section packetizer 442 packetizes a packet outputted from the sync layer packetizer 433 into a 14496 section. The PSI generator 443 generates Program Service Information (PSI) based on the data outputted from the IOD generator 432. The TS packetizer 444 packetizes a packet outputted from the PES packetizer 441, 14496 section packetizer 442, PSI generator 443 into transport stream. That is, the media processor of the DMB system of the present invention includes an MPEG-4 systems encoder 430 and an M4overM2 module 440. The MPEG-4 systems encoder 430 includes the MPEG-4 audio/video encoder 421 and 422 for performing media compression efficiently after converting the audio/video multimedia source data into a data steam of a desired format in the preprocessor 410, the OD/BIFS generator 431 for interactive service, the IOD generator 432, the sync layer packetizer 433 for synchronizing the media streams, and the M4overM2 module 440 for generating a program elementary stream (PES) packet based on a sync layer packet and multiplexing the PES packet with a section packet and Program Service Information (PSI) into an MPEG-2 transport stream. Herein, the TS packetizer 444 can multiplex one or more audio/video/additional data based on a program. As for the video encoder, an ‘MPEG-4 Part 2’ codec and an ‘MPEG-4 Part 10 Advanced Video Coding (AVC)’ codec can be used. For the audio encoder, diverse codecs such as an ‘Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)’ codec, an ‘AAC+’ codec, and a ‘Bit Sliced Arithmetic Coding (BSAC)’ codec can be used. The codec is selected in consideration of compression performance and trade-off in the complexity of embodiment. Since the video codec supports 30 frame per second (fps) maximally and supports diverse display formats such as Quarter Common Intermediate Format (QCIF), Quicktime Video Graphics Array (QVGA), and Common Intermediate Format (CIF), it can be applied to diverse application fields. Also, since the audio codec can compress a stereo channel at a rate of less than 128 kbps, the compression efficiency is superior to the codecs used in the conventional broadcasting systems including DAB. Therefore, spectrum use efficiency can be maximized. FIG. 5A shows an RS encoder of the DMB system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. They present a structure of the RS (204, 188, t=8) encoder for generating an RS code word which is used to satisfy the target Bit Error Rate (BER) of multimedia data and FIG. 5B shows a structure of a packet. In case of a DAB system, a convolutional code is used as an error correcting code. If an RS code is added to the DAB system for DMB, the channel encoder of total DMB system has a structure of concatenated code. Thus, the RS code can be referred to as an outer coder. The RS (204, 188, t=8) code is embodied by using an RS (255, 239, t=8) code, and the code generator polynomial is: g(x)=(x+λ0)(x+λ 1)(x+λ 2)Λ(x+λ 15) Eq. 1 wherein λ=02 HEX . The following is a field generator polynomial: p(x)=x 8 +x 4 +x 3 +x 2+1. Eq. 2 Meanwhile, the RS (204, 188, t=8) code is embodied as follows. First, 51-byte ‘0’ is added to 188-byte information data. Then, 239-byte information data are inputted to an RS (255, 239, t=8) encoder. Subsequently, the added 51-byte ‘0’ is removed from the encoded 255-byte output data to thereby form an RS-encoded packet as described in FIG. 5B. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram describing an interleaver of the DMB system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In order to remove temporal correlation between adjacent byte units, the interleaver interleaves a 204 byte-based MPEG-2 TS packet, from which a synchronization word begins, by using a convolutional byte interleaver having a structure of FIG. 6. The interleaver is formed of 12 branches and each branch is formed of a plurality of memories which are based on a unit of 17 byte�N (N=0, 1, 2, . . . , 11). Input/output switches are synchronized with each other. For synchronization, synchronization words are transmitted always through a ‘0’ branch and the synchronization of a deinterleaver is obtained by allocating a first recognized synchronization word to a ‘0’ branch of the deinterleaver. An interleaved data stream is allocated to a stream mode of the DAB system and data channels for other digital broadcasting systems and then processed. Hereafter, a method and apparatus for cooperating the DMB system of the present invention and the conventional DAB system will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. FIG. 7 is a block diagram describing an apparatus for cooperating the DMB system and the conventional DAB system in accordance with an embodiment of-the present invention. In the drawing, the reference numeral ‘710’ denotes the conventional DAB system; the reference numeral ‘720’ denotes the DMB system of the present invention; and the reference numeral ‘730’ denotes an ensemble remultiplexer, individually. The ensemble remultiplexer 730 creates a new Ensemble Transport Interface (ETI) frame by remultiplexing the ETI frame inputted from the DAB system 710 with a DMB media stream and transmits the newly formed ETI frame to a Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) modulator of the DAB system 710. Herein, the ensemble remultiplexer 730 performs only the aforementioned remultiplexing function, or includes the functions of the RS encoder and the interleaver additionally, or includes all the functions of the RS encoder, the interleaver, and the DMB media processor. The system with the above-described structure makes it possible to use the conventional DAB transmission system 710, regardless of the structure, which is different according to manufacturing companies. FIG. 8 is a block diagram describing an apparatus for connecting the DMB system and the conventional DAB system in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, the reference numeral ‘810’ denotes the conventional DAB system; the reference numeral ‘820’ denotes the DMB system of the present invention; and the reference numeral ‘830’ denotes an ETI adapter, individually. The ETI adaptor 830 receives media stream from one or more DMB system 820, converts it into an ETI frame, and outputs the ETI frame to any one among the ensemble multiplexer, the service multiplexer, and data inserter of the DAB system 810. If the device in connection is the ensemble multiplexer, it receives the ETI output of the ETI adapter 830 and the Service Transport Interface (STI) output of the service multiplexer, forms a new ETI frame and transmits it to the COFDM modulator. The ensemble multiplexer analyzes the content of the inputted STI and ETI frames and forms a new ETI frame automatically based on a priority order defined by an administrator. This will be described more in detail with reference to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a flowchart describing an ETI frame formatting method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In the flowchart, the ensemble multiplexer/service multiplexer/data inserter maintains maximum data transmission capacity and forms a new ETI frame and a new STI frame automatically. First, the administrator of the ensemble multiplexer establishes a transmission priority order for a sub-channel to automatically form the new STI and ETI frame. Then, a sub-channel based on the STI and ETI frames is selected according to the above established sub-channel priority order and it is determined whether the transmission of the selected sub-channel is possible. If it is determined that transmission is impossible, a sub-channel having a data size that can be included in the remaining space of the STI or ETI frame is searched and the process of including it into the frame is repeated in order to minimize the remaining space of the STI or ETI frame to be outputted. This can be described more in detail below. First, at step S901, transmission priority order for a sub-channel is established to automatically form a new STI frame or a new ETI frame. Then, at step S902, it is established that “ETI_out=output ETI data rate=0,” “ETI_max=maximum ETI transmittable data rate,” or “STI_out =output STI data rate=0,” “STI_max=maximum STI transmittable data rate.”
Subsequently, at step S905, it is determined whether “(ETI_max−ETI_out)>sub_channel” or “(STI_max−STI_out)>sub_channel” is satisfied. If the above condition is satisfied, at step S906, it is established that “ETI_out=ETI_out+sub_channel” or “STI_out=STI_out+sub_channel” and then logic flow goes to the step S903 where a sub-channel is selected according to priority order. If the above condition is not satisfied, a step S907, it is determined whether there is a sub-channel having a data rate lower than “(ETI_max−ETI_out)” or “(STI_max−STI_out)” based on the inputted STI and ETI frames and the priority order. If there is the sub-channel, the logic flow goes to the step S903 where a sub-channel is selected according to the priority order. If there is no such sub-channel, at step S908, a process of forming and outputting ETI or STI frames is performed. FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for cooperating the DMB system and the conventional DAB system in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. It presents a method of cooperating the DMB system with the conventional DAB system by using an Ethernet adapter. In the drawing, the reference numeral ‘1010’ denotes the conventional DAB system; the reference numeral ‘1020’ denotes the DMB system of the present invention; and the reference numeral ‘1030’ denotes an Ethernet adapter, individually. According to the proposed method, a DMB media stream is transformed into an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram and transmitted in the form of a stream mode of the DAB system 1010. The Ethernet adapter 1030 outputs the IP datagram to one of the ensemble multiplexer, service multiplexer and data inserter. The one of the ensemble multiplexer, service multiplexer and data inserter that receives the IP diagram forms new ETI and STI frames based on the method of FIG. 9. As described above, the present invention transmits and receives multimedia data efficiently and stably based on the DAB system and other diverse digital broadcasting systems. The present invention provides diverse interactive broadcasting service having an excellent reception performance without breaks by compressing video and multimedia data efficiently, supporting an interactive service through interaction and synchronization between objects by processing the video and multimedia data on an object basis, multiplexing video/audio/additional data stably, endowing robustness against multipath fading and the Doppler effect that occur in a mobile channel environment by using an additional error correcting method. The method of the present invention can be embodied as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disks, hard disks, and magneto-optical disks. As described above, the present invention can provide an interactive multimedia data service by using the conventional DAB system and other diverse digital broadcasting systems and it can transmit multimedia data of diverse formats such as mobile TV, Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), Location Based Service (LBS), Pay Per View (PPV), traffic information, stock information, weather forecast and the like. Also, the present invention can maximizes the spectrum use efficiency by using highly efficient multimedia data compression technology and it can embody a multimedia data service efficiently by adding a DMB processing module to the conventional DAB and other diverse digital broadcasting systems.
