TRANSMITTING METHOD, RECEIVING METHOD, TRANSMITTING DEVICE, AND RECEIVING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A transmitting method comprising:
- inputting, per unit time, a plurality of transfer packets less than or equal to a predetermined number; and
transmitting, per the unit time, the plurality of transfer packets that have been input, in a state where definitions compliant with a receiving buffer model are satisfied, the definitions being predetermined for guaranteeing a buffering operation of a receiving device,wherein each of the plurality of transfer packets includes a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload, andthe definitions compliant with the receiving buffer model specify converting a first packet into a second packet and outputting the second packet from a buffer of the receiving device at a predetermined extraction rate, the first packet being included in the plurality of transfer packets received by the receiving device and including a variable-length packet header and a variable length payload, the second packet having a fixed-length packet header that is extended.

Abstract
A transmitting method includes: inputting, per unit time, a plurality of transfer packets less than or equal to a predetermined number; and transmitting, per the unit time, the plurality of transfer packets that have been input, in a state where definitions compliant with a receiving buffer model are satisfied. Each of the plurality of transfer packets includes a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload. The definitions compliant with the receiving buffer model are predetermined for guaranteeing a buffering operation of a receiving device, and specify converting a first packet into a second packet and outputting the second packet from a buffer of the receiving device at a predetermined extraction rate. The first packet is included in the transfer packets received and includes a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload. The second packet has a fixed-length packet header that is extended.

9. A receiving method comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of transfer packets each including a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload; converting a first packet into a second packet using a buffer, the first packet being included in the plurality of transfer packets received and including a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload, the second packet having a fixed-length packet header that is extended; and outputting the second packet from the buffer at a predetermined extraction rate, wherein a size of the buffer is larger than maximum buffer occupancy calculated using a transfer rate of the plurality of transfer packets, an average packet length of the transfer packets, and the predetermined extraction rate.

10. A transmitting device comprising:
-
an input terminal into which a plurality of transfer packets less than or equal to a predetermined number are input per unit time; and a transmitter which transmits, per the unit time, the plurality of transfer packets that have been input, in a state where definitions compliant with receiving buffer model are satisfied, the definitions being predetermined for guaranteeing a buffering operation of a receiving device, wherein each of the plurality of transfer packets includes a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload, and the definitions compliant with the receiving buffer model specify converting a first packet into a second packet and outputting the second packet at a predetermined extraction rate from a buffer of the receiving device, the first packet being made up of a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload and being included in the plurality of transfer packets received by the receiving device and including a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload, the second packet having a fixed-length packet header that is extended.

11. A receiving device comprising:
-
a receiver which receives a plurality of transfer packets, each including a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload; and a buffer which converts a first packet into a second packet and outputs the second packet at a predetermined extraction rate, the first packet being included in the plurality of transfer packets received and including a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload, the second packet having a fixed-length packet header that is extended, wherein a size of the buffer is larger than maximum buffer occupancy calculated using a transfer rate of the plurality of transfer packets, an average packet length of the transfer packets, and the predetermined extraction rate.
