Abstract

• This submission presents technical requirements that should be met in order to support reliable transmission of high quality audio and video contents over WLAN. These requirements, which are derived from use cases that are well recognized in a CE context, include reliable delivery of broadcast and multicast frames, time synchronization, DRM support, device/connection control, and media stream mapping.

Trends of CE Devices

• More and more CE devices become to support wireless connectivity.

• Network-enabled and application-specific– Simplified network layers– Network functions only required by specific applications

• Carrying broad ranges of contents– Various video and audio types of different qualities– Casting many different constraints for QoS:

bandwidth, reliability, latency, etc.

• Growing but still limited computing power– Not general-purpose machines– Equipped with only minimal computing power

Broadcasting Multimedia

• Target scenario

– Content server broadcasts multimedia streams to many authenticated users.

– Regardless of how many users receive the streams, a single WLAN channel is expected to be used.

– Content server can be STB, PC, AP, or even any portable devices.

– The streams must be delivered with high reliability (i.e., QoS provisioning).

Technical Requirements

• Reliable multicast and broadcast– Sharing scarce wireless channels for the same contents (i.e., scalability)– Creating many new service models (e.g., screen-less theater)

• Time synchronization– Low-end devices can be provided with synchronization support from WLAN.– If every data frame carries timing information, it can be processed at the right time.

• DRM support– Digital content providers supply customers with their contents without any

concerns of illegal copy issues.

• Device/Connection control– Unified device/connection control for WLAN A/V applications

• Media stream mapping– Interface between MAC and media streams to satisfy QoS requirement

Conclusions

• To support well-recognized CE applications using WLAN, the following requirements emerge:– Reliable multicast and broadcast

– Time synchronization

– DRM support

– Device/Connection control support

– Media stream mapping

– Etc.

• We support the creation of a new Study Group to assess how the above requirements can be addressed.
