Information technology — Generic digital audio-visual systems — Part 2: System dynamics, scenarios and protocol requirements

The purpose of this part of ISO/IEC 16500 is to specify normative protocols and associated dynamic system behavior, including session and connection manipulation, configuration and download, for an ISO/IEC 16500 system. The emphasis is on the significant dynamic system entities (e.g., session control, call/connection control), the behavior of these entities (e.g., information flows, entity actions, parameters passed) and the allowable physical placement(s) of these entities in a DAVIC system (i.e., physical instances). As such, this part of ISO/IEC 16500 complements the static systems reference model described in ISO/IEC 16500-1, specifying normative dynamic behavior as well as specifying the protocol(s) required to realize this behavior. The protocols themselves are specified primarily through the use of "Protocol Network Architecture" diagrams which visually illustrate, for each of the defined physical instances and application scenarios, the various protocol stacks which are to be used. Detailed specification of the individual protocol tools themselves (e.g., the detailed protocol messages used to realize the DAVIC dynamic flow behavior) is provided in ISO/IEC 16500-5 (mid- and higher layers) and ISO/IEC 16500-4 (lower layers) of this specification. This results in instance specifications made up of building blocks from the DAVIC tool set organized in a manner describing a system which performs DAVIC functions.

ISO/IEC 16500-2:1999(E)
Introduction
ISO/IEC 16500 defines the minimum tools and dynamic behavior required by digital audio-visual systems for
end-to-end interoperability across countries, applications and services. To achieve this interoperability, it defines
the technologies and information flows to be used within and between the major components of generic digital
audio-visual systems. Interoperability between these components and between individual sub-systems is assured
through specification of tools and specification of dynamic systems behavior at defined reference points. A
reference point can comprise one or more logical (non-physical) information-transfer interfaces, and one or more
physical signal-transfer interfaces. A logical interface is defined by a set of information flows and associated
protocol stacks. A physical interface is an external interface and is fully defined by its physical and electrical
characteristics. Accessible reference points are used to determine and demonstrate compliance of a digital audio-
visual subsystem with this international standard.
A summary of each part follows.
ISO/IEC 16500-1 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 2) defines the normative digital audio-visual systems technical framework.
It provides a vocabulary and a Systems Reference Model, which identifies specific functional blocks and
information flows, interfaces and reference points.
ISO/IEC 16500-2 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 12) defines system dynamic behavior and physical scenarios. It details the
locations of the control functional entities along with the normative protocols needed to support the systems
behavior. It is structured as a set of protocol walk-throughs, or “Application Notes”, that rehearse both the steady
state and dynamic operation of the system at relevant reference points using specified protocols. Detailed
dynamics are given for the following scenarios: video on demand, switched video broadcast, interactive broadcast,
and internet access.
ISO/IEC 16500-3 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 14) provides the normative definition of DAVIC Technology Contours.
These are strict sets of Applications, Functionalities and Technologies which allow compliance and conformance
criteria to be easily specified and assessed. This part of ISO/IEC 16500 contains the full details of two contours.
These are the Enhanced Digital Broadcast (EDB) and Interactive Digital Broadcast (IDB). ISO/IEC 16500-3
specifies required technologies and is a mandatory compliance document for contour implementations.
ISO/IEC 16500-4 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 8) defines the toolbox of technologies used for lower layer protocols and
physical interfaces. The tools specified are those required to digitize signals and information in the Core Network
and in the Access Network. Each tool is applicable at one or more of the reference points specified within the
Delivery System. In addition a detailed specification is provided of the physical interfaces between the Network
Interface Unit and the Set Top Unit and of the physical interfaces used to connect Set Top Boxes to various
peripheral devices (digital video recorder, PC, printer). The physical Delivery System mechanisms included are
copper pairs, coaxial cable, fiber, HFC, MMDS, LMDS, satellite and terrestrial broadcasting.
ISO/IEC 16500-5 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 7) defines the technologies used for high and mid-layer protocols for
ISO/IEC 16500 digital audio-visual systems. In particular, this part defines the specific protocol stacks and
requirements on protocols at specific interfaces for the content, control and management information flows.
ISO/IEC 16500-6 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 9) defines what the user will eventually see and hear and with what quality.
It specifies the way in which monomedia and multimedia information types are coded and exchanged. This
includes the definition of a virtual machine and a set of APIs to support interoperable exchange of program code.
Interoperability of applications is achieved, without specifying the internal design of a set top unit, by a normative
Reference Decoder Model which defines specific memory and behavior constraints for content decoding. Separate
profiles are defined for different sets of multimedia components.
ISO/IEC 16500-7 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 10) defines the interfaces and the security tools required for an
ISO/IEC 16500 system implementing security profiles. These tools include security protocols which operate
across one or both of the defined conditional access interfaces CA0 and CA1. The interface CA0 is to all security
and conditional access functions, including the high speed descrambling functions. The interface CA1 is to a
tamper resistant device used for low speed cryptographic processing. This cryptographic processing function is
implemented in a smart card.
ISO/IEC 16500-8 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 6) specifies the information model used for managing ISO/IEC 16500
systems. In particular, this part defines the managed object classes and their associated characteristics for
managing the access network and service-related data in the Delivery System. Where these definitions are taken
from existing standards, full reference to the required standards is provided. Otherwise a full description is
integrated in the text of this part. Usage-related information model is defined in ISO/IEC 16500-9.

ISO/IEC 16500-2:1999(E)
ISO/IEC 16500-9 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 11) specifies the interface requirements and defines the formats for the
collection of usage data used for billing, and other business-related operations such as customer profile
maintenance. It also specifies the protocols for the transfer of Usage Information into and out of the
ISO/IEC 16500 digital audio-visual system. In summary, flows of audio, video and audio-visual works are
monitored at defined usage data collection elements (e.g. servers, elements of the Delivery System, set-top boxes).
Information concerning these flows is then collected, processed and passed to external systems such as billing or a
rights administration society via a standardised usage data transfer interface.
Additional Information
ISO/IEC TR 16501 is an accompanying Technical Report. Further architectural and conformance information is
provided in other non-normative parts of DAVIC 1.3.1a (1999). A summary of these documents is included here
for information.
ISO/IEC TR 16501 (DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 1) provides a detailed listing of the functionalities required by users and
providers of digital audio-visual applications and systems. It introduces the concept of a contour and defines the
IDB (Interactive Digital Broadcast) and EDB (Enhanced Digital Broadcast) functionality requirements which are
used to define the normative contour technology toolsets provided in ISO/IEC 16500-3.
DAVIC 1.3.1a Parts 3, 4 and 5 are DAVIC technical reports. They provide additional architectural and other
information for the server, the delivery-system, and the Service Consumer systems respectively. Part 3 defines
how to load an application, once created, onto a server and gives information and guidance on the protocols
transmitted from the set-top user to the server, and those used to control the set-up and execution of a selected
application. Part 4 provides an overview of Delivery Systems and describes instances of specific DAVIC
networked service architectures. These include physical and wireless networks. Non-networked delivery (e.g.
local storage physical media like discs, tapes and CD-ROMs) are not specified. Part 5 provides a Service
Consumer systems architecture and a description of the DAVIC Set Top reference points defined elsewhere in the
normative parts of the specification.
DAVIC 1.3.1a Part 13 is a DAVIC technical report, which provides guidelines on how to validate the systems,
technology tools and protocols through conformance and / or interoperability testing.

Information technology — Generic digital audio-visual
systems — Part 2: System dynamics, scenarios and
protocol requirements
1 Scope
The purpose of this part of ISO/IEC 16500 is to specify normative protocols and associated dynamic system
behavior, including session and connection manipulation, configuration and download, for an ISO/IEC 16500
system. The emphasis is on the significant dynamic system entities (e.g., session control, call/connection
control), the behavior of these entities (e.g., information flows, entity actions, parameters passed) and the
allowable physical placement(s) of these entities in a DAVIC system (i.e., physical instances). As such, this
part of ISO/IEC 16500 complements the static systems reference model described in ISO/IEC 16500-1,
specifying normative dynamic behavior as well as specifying the protocol(s) required to realize this behavior.
The protocols themselves are specified primarily through the use of "Protocol Network Architecture"
diagrams which visually illustrate, for each of the defined physical instances and application scenarios, the
various protocol stacks which are to be used. Detailed specification of the individual protocol tools
themselves (e.g., the detailed protocol messages used to realize the DAVIC dynamic flow behavior) is
provided in ISO/IEC 16500-5 (mid- and higher layers) and ISO/IEC 16500-4 (lower layers) of this
specification.
This results in instance specifications made up of building blocks from the DAVIC tool set organized in a
manner describing a system which performs DAVIC functions.
2 Normative references
Detailed bibliographic references for the normative protocols identified in this part of ISO/IEC 16500 (e.g. in
Table 9.2-28 and Table 9.2-29) are provided in ISO/IEC 16500-2 Annex E.
3 Definitions
This clause defines new terms, and the intended meaning of certain common terms, used in this part of
ISO/IEC 16500. Annex A of ISO/IEC 16500-1 defines additional terms and, in some cases, alternative

included in the annex.
3.1  call entity or connection entity: user or network process which terminates S4 flow (c/c).

3.2  functional control entities: call/connection entity and session entity.
3.3  functional entity: process which terminates an information flow.

3.4  proxy signaling agent: signaling process performing end point signaling function on behalf of the
end user. Extended definition is required if proxy is used also in hybrid network, e.g., MPEG HFC and ATM.
3.5  Q.2931 MACRO: single notation which summarizes the exchange of information (S4 flow) between
call/connection control entities during the call set-up or release phases.
3.6  session entity: user or network process which terminates S3 flow (ses).
4 Acronyms and abbreviations
This clause defines the acronyms and abbreviations used in this part of ISO/IEC 16500. Annex B of ISO/IEC

Protocols
9.1 General
9.1.1 DAVIC System Dynamic Modeling
The DAVIC System Dynamic Modeling describes the following:
� Functional Entities used within the Dynamic Model(s)
� DAVIC Physical Scenarios (Physical Instances) for the allowable location(s) of the
control functional entities.
� System Dynamic Flows which describe the dynamics of the DAVIC System for, e.g.,
the following actions, where appropriate:
� Session & Call/connection Establishment
� Adding Resources
� Releasing Resources
� Session Transfer
� Service Transfer
� Session & Call/connection Release
� Functional Entity Actions (performed by entities in conjunction with the dynamic
flows)
� DAVIC Dynamic Flow Parameters (carried within the dynamic flows)
Collectively, these descriptive mechanisms specify the overall system dynamic behavior required of a DAVIC
system for each application area (e.g., VoD, Interactive Broadcast, etc.)
