Abstract

In considering a transport layer protocol for multimedia applications in packet networks, real-time and synchronization characteristics of multimedia applications have to be considered. Synchronization means that the intermedium temporal relationship for an application has to be satisfied, after the transmission across the network. Since the random delay of packet networks makes synchronization among media more complicated, a model is required to specify the temporal relationship among media across the network which can be easily implemented in a transport protocol. In the paper, a real-time synchronization model (RTSM), is presented for synchronization, and a new protocol, namely MSTP (multimedia synchronization transport protocol), is proposed based on RTSM
