6.3 UDP-based protocol
The EMMG/PDG UDP-based protocol is using the same message format as described in clause 6.2. Thanks to UDP functionality, it offers the unique advantage of broadcasting packets over a network and requires less network overhead; however, the EMMG/PDG UDP-based protocol does not provide additional feature to increase the...

6.3.1 Interface principles
In this protocol, only the data_provision message is sent using UDP/IP; it is the same message as the one used in the TCP-based protocol described in clause 6.2.5.9. For the control part of this protocol, two methods can be used. The implementation of at least one of them is mandatory: • the first method consists of us...

9.1 Overview
The diagram in figure 17, illustrates the exact role of the (P)SIGMUX interface in the context of a Simulcrypt head-end system. In this clause, the acronym (P)SIG stands either for a PSISIG, a unique logical component generating both PSI and SI tables, or for a pair (PSIG, SIG) i.e. two distinct unique logical compone...

af1c0d99efa57e65117cf22743ed5e19
103 197
9.2.1 Description
This interface is based on a Channel/Stream model as used by the other connection-based protocols defined in the present document. The (P)SIG, as a client, connects to one MUX, the server, by establishing a channel that is associated with a particular (transport_stream_ID, original_network_ID) pair. The (P)SIG may open...

103 197
9.2.2 Channel and Stream specific messages
The interface shall carry the following channel messages: For both models: • channel_setup; • channel_test; • channel_status; • channel_close; • channel_error. For the first model when the carousel is performed in the MUX only: • CIM_channel_reset. ETSI ETSI TS 103 197 V1.5.1 (2008-10) 134 The interface shall carry the...

103 197
9.2.3 Channel establishment
The (P)SIG is assumed to have a prior knowledge of the mapping between the pairs {transport_stream_Id, original_network_ID} (each identifying one particular transport stream), and the respective pairs {IP Address, Port Number} of the MUXs. Once the TCP connection is established, the (P)SIG sends a channel_setup message...

af1c0d99efa57e65117cf22743ed5e19
103 197
9.2.4.1 Stream establishment
The (P)SIG sends a stream_setup message to the MUX. This message contains in particular the value of the PID with which the sections provisioned on this stream will have to be inserted in the targeted transport stream. Two different streams are not allowed to manage the same PID value at the same time. In case of succe...

103 197
9.2.4.2 Provision of the PSI/SI or private sections
Once the connection, channel and stream have been correctly established, the (P)SIG can send to the MUX the sections it wants to be broadcast on the particular PID associated to this stream. The sections are transmitted in CiM_stream_section_provision messages and they replace the possible previous sections broadcast o...

103 197
9.2.4.3 Stream closure
Stream closure is always initiated by the (P)SIG. This is done by means of a stream_close_request message. A stream_close_response message indicates the stream has been closed. However, a stream closure does not mean that the broadcasting of the associated sections is interrupted. The last previously transmitted collec...

af1c0d99efa57e65117cf22743ed5e19
103 197
9.2.5.1 Stream establishment
For this model, the (P)SIG also sends a stream_setup message to the MUX. In case of success the MUX replies by sending back a stream_status message. In case of a rejection or a failure the MUX replies with a stream_error message. The stream_setup message contains in particular the value of the PID, called packet_ID, wi...

9.2.5.2 Bandwidth allocation
During stream set-up the (P)SIG shall request the bandwidth needed for that stream in the stream_setup message. The MUX will then respond with the bandwidth that has been allocated for that stream. The (P)SIG can, at a later time, request an adjustment in the bandwidth allocation. The (P)SIG/MUX protocol bandwidth is d...

103 197
9.2.5.3 Stream closure
Stream closure is always initiated by the (P)SIG. This can occur when a PSI/SI stream is no longer needed. This is done by means of a stream_close_request message. A stream_close_response message indicates the stream has been closed.
af1c0d99efa57e65117cf22743ed5e19
103 197
9.2.6 Channel closure
Channel closure can occur when the Channel is no longer needed or in case of error (detected by (P)SIG or reported by MUX). This is done by means of a channel_close message sent by the (P)SIG. Subsequently, the connection shall be closed by both sides.
af1c0d99efa57e65117cf22743ed5e19
103 197
9.2.7 Channel/Stream testing and status
At any moment either component can send a channel_test/stream_test message to check the integrity of a channel/stream. In response to this message the receiving component shall reply with either a channel/stream status message or a channel/stream error message.
af1c0d99efa57e65117cf22743ed5e19
103 197
9.2.8 Unexpected communication loss
Both (P)SIG and MUX shall be able to handle an unexpected communication loss (either on the connection, channel or stream level). Each component, when suspecting a possible communication loss (e.g. a 10 second silent period), should check the communication status by sending a test message and expecting to receive a sta...

9.2.9 Handling data inconsistencies
If the MUX detects an inconsistency it shall send an error message to the (P)SIG. If the (P)SIG receives such a message or detects an inconsistency it may close the connection. The (P)SIG (as the client) will then (re-)establish the connection, channel and (if applicable) streams. The occurrence of a user defined or un...
