GSSTP: a signalling transport protocol for DVB-S2 GSE-only transmission systems

SUMMARY The current signalling framework for Digital Video Broadcasting systems is based on MPEG‐2 encoded Program Specific Information and System Information tables that rely on the transport stream. It is expected that in the near future, this architecture will be replaced by one based on the Gene...

Description
Summary:SUMMARY The current signalling framework for Digital Video Broadcasting systems is based on MPEG‐2 encoded Program Specific Information and System Information tables that rely on the transport stream. It is expected that in the near future, this architecture will be replaced by one based on the Generic Stream Encapsulation protocol, paving the way for the convergence of DVB‐S2 broadcast transmission networks and IP infrastructure. This paper presents a new lightweight Generic Stream Signalling Transport Protocol, which can be used to realise a transmission system based only on the Generic Stream Encapsulation and that efficiently supports filtering of Program Specific Information and System Information tables. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. This paper presents a new extensible lightweight Generic Stream Signalling Transport Protocol for Digital Video Broadcasting systems. The method can be used to realise an all‐IP transmission system that directly uses the Generic Stream Encapsulation. It supports a range of table formats, including tables using the extensible markup language, extensions to support security and compression and transmission of MPEG‐2 encoded tables to provide backwards compatibility with legacy systems using the MPEG‐2 transport stream.
