enea® H324m-BRICKS 1

Multimedia session control and transfer protocols stack for 3G video

The ITU-T H.324 recommendation was initially issued to specify a suite of standards for sharing video, voice and data simultaneously over modem connections on PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). It defines a control protocol (H.245) and multi­plexing mechanism (H.223) as well as audio and video codecs used for real- time multimedia streaming over an established switchedcircuit connection.

3G-324M has been derived from Enea H324m-Bricks n ITU-T H.245 version 11 (backward H.324 standards by 3GPP and 3GPP2 Enea® H324m-Bricks is a portable compatible) including support for standard­ization bodies to specify implementation of this set of standards H.223 Annexes A, B and required multimedia communication in mobile compliant with: for mobile communications switched circuit environments. n ITU-T H.324 (09/2005) including 3G-324M set of protocols is well mobile support specified in Annex Enea H324m-BRICKS consists of the suited for delay sensitive applications A , C and K (Note 1) following: like video phone, video conferencing, n 3GPP & 3GPP2 specifications: TS n ITU-T H.245 protocol for multimedia TV broadcasting, and video-ondemand. 26.111 (V6.01), TSDatasheet 26.110 (V6.00), mobile call control in compliance Such applications could not be satis­ and TS 26.911 (V6.00) with H.324 recommendation factorily operated using currently n ITU-T H.223 including Annex A, B, C n ITU-T H.223 multiplexing protocol H324m-BRICKS deployed mobile packet technology due and D (Note 1) including: to high packet transmission overhead, n Adaptation layer procedures for high BER, and variable transit delay. data (H.223 AL1), audio (H.223 AL2) and video (H.223, AL3) n H.223 basic multiplexing protocol The ITU-T H.324 recommendation was initially also called level 0 issued to specify a suite of standards for H.324m n H.223 multiplexing protocol exten- sharing video, voice and data simultaneously Data sions for low bit rate multimedia over modem connections on PSTN (Public Application Source mobile communication over low Switched Telephone Network).
