Abstract
Hardware and software integration of a framework for interactive multimedia datacasting applications is presented in this paper. The hardware components of this framework consist of a data server, an IP encapsulator (IPE), a multiplexer, data receivers and a return channel. Various integration software modules were implemented to support the hardware configuration, and these include IPE flow control, encoding/decoding rate control, opportunistic data injection etc. Server/client issues were investigated to support various applications such as unicast/multicast services, web accessing and media delivery rate control over digital television (DTV) broadcast infrastructure. The main contributions of this paper are: 1) the design of an interactive end-to-end datacasting framework; 2) the integration of hardware and software modules for this system; and 3) Unicast and Multicast data transmission modes. This framework was tested in a terrestrial broadcasting environment with various multimedia datacasting applications.
