Latency and reactivity are becoming even more essential for new interactive and real-time applications as e.g., in augmented reality but also in Industry 4.0 or automotive use. + +Latency and resulting reactivity must be measured in a scenario that emulates the application and use case to be evaluated. This requires first a data transfer profile (traffic pattern) that is considered as equivalent to the application so that the relevant latency and reactivity can be measured. Second, the resulting influence of latency to a certain application can be described by an interactivity scoring model. This model is not a general one, rather, it is individually scaled for each of the use cases like e.g., e-Gaming or real-time drone control and is focused on scoring transport with a simplified, parametrizable model approach, it does not target individual application behaviours. + +## History + +| Edition | Recommendation | Approval | Study Group | Unique ID* | +|---------|----------------|------------|-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 1.0 | ITU-T G.1051 | 2023-03-01 | 12 | 11.1002/1000/15468 | + +## Keywords + +Data traffic patterns, interactivity, latency, round-trip time. + +--- + +\* To access the Recommendation, type the URL in the address field of your web browser, followed by the Recommendation's unique ID.

The basis for this method can be IETF's Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP). The typical symmetrical fixed-rate stream method will be modified to reflect situations in today's telecommunication networks including mobile scenarios and typical interactive use cases. The measurement approach is designed to also cover 5G URLLC configurations. + +In this approach, a scalable UDP packet stream is sent from and reflected by a far-end server back to the measurement client, e.g., from a smartphone or modem device to a server in the network or a second device. + +Based on the results of the latency, latency variation and loss measurements, a generic approach for a model describing interactivity as a single figure of merit is developed. Because the measurement results and the interactivity model depend on the chosen traffic pattern emulating an application, there will be clear rules to derive traffic patterns and corresponding model configurations as well as defined traffic patterns and formulas for popular applications (by applying the defined rules). This allows an immediate application of the measurement approach and enables later extension for new, arising applications. + +# 2 References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

Time stamps for each packet from the sending and reflecting unit are required to obtain the key performance indicators (KPIs) defined in this Recommendation. + +As an established example, the TWAMP methodology and protocol can be considered, as defined in [IETF RFC 5357]; additional notes can be found in [IETF RFC 6038]. It is based on a UDP packet stream of packets of pre-defined size and frequency. The packets are sent to a reflecting server that sends the packet back to the sending client, where the received reflected packet can be assigned to a sent packet by an ID. The difference of the sending and receiving time stamps are reported as two-way latency. The TWAMP protocol according to IETF is defined and – depending on the vendor – supported by infrastructure components such as routers and IP-gateways. + +In addition to two-way packet latency, the TWAMP methodology also supports the calculation of one-way packet-delay variation (PDV), separated into uplink and downlink directions, as well as the detection of lost packets based on packet sequence numbers. + +The amount of data to transmit and the resulting data rate can be specified by packet size and sending frequency. This allows an emulation of data stream characteristics as produced by real applications. + +Other methods to obtain packet round-trip time (RTT) and one-way delay jitter and packet loss in sufficient temporal resolution can also be used such as that based on the UDPST method as described in [b-IETF] and is available under [b-OB-UDPST]. + +## 7.2 Extending the approach to asymmetrical traffic + +A pure reflection of received packets by a reflecting unit leads to widely identical and symmetrical data streams in direction to and from the reflecting unit. Each sent packet triggers a reflected packet of the same size. Consequently, packet size and frequency and the resulting data rate are the same. This symmetrical traffic is a special case and does not emulate most real applications, where the traffic is asymmetrical, meaning different in each direction. + +Additional notes about the method as specified in [IETF RFC 6038] are focused on achieving absolutely symmetrical traffic; the received packets are reflected exactly back to the sender. Consequently, the amount of data requested to transmit is the same in the send and receive directions. + +The definition of additional TWAMP features in [IETF RFC 6038] has already foreseen the possibility to define the size of the reflected packets1. + +A different size of the reflected packet generates asymmetrical traffic; the reflected packet stream can result in a higher or lower bitrate. It must be noted that this way the asymmetrical traffic is only achieved by varying the packet size, not the packet frequency. + +There can be implementations realized, where also the packet frequency varies in either direction. A received packet at the reflecting unit can trigger sending multiple packets instead of one. It depends on the implementation and the target traffic pattern to be emulated whether these packets are sent in an equidistant way or as bursts. + +Vice versa, there might also be implementations where multiple received packets at the reflecting unit trigger less or just one packet to be sent back to the client side. Also, in this case the targeted traffic pattern defines the parameters of asymmetry. + +If the reflected packet must carry a higher number of bytes than the sent one, the packet is extended by random bits. This is the more usual case (uplink rate < downlink rate). If the reflected packet must be smaller, the payload is cut to the target size, where the lower limit is the header information of the packet for its identification. + +Alternative methods as UDPST as described in [b.1] also offer techniques to realize different load per direction resulting in a desired asymmetrical traffic pattern. + +--- + +1 The implementation is not part of [IETF RFC 6038] and is left to the implementor. Preferably, the implementation carries the information of how many octets should be reflected in each packet. Thus, the asymmetry of the traffic can be defined per packet as highest granularity. + +## 7.3 Guidelines to derive traffic patterns from real applications + +When creating a traffic pattern, the goal is to derive an archetype traffic pattern that is representative for the target application. This should usually cover the main usage scenarios of a group of similar applications such as 'high-interactive e-Gaming' or 'remote drone control'. Alternatively, the traffic pattern could also be targeted to an individual application and use case. + +First, the traffic created by several representative real applications should be analysed. The IP trace should be recorded in the different phases of application usage, for example initializing phase, active interaction, passive use and trailing phase. For all applications, use cases and usage phases, the traffic should be analysed regarding uplink and downlink bitrate, packet size and frequency. + +#### 7.3.1 Temporal structure of traffic patterns + +The next step is the definition of a traffic pattern by segments of different bitrates. The proportion of bitrates and their profile vs time should be driven by the real use but in a shorter overall duration (e.g., 10 s to 15 s, where segment duration can be down to 1 s). The order of the segments should resemble the real-time profile, e.g., start with an initializing phase and not a highly interactive phase. In asymmetrical traffic scenarios, the uplink and downlink bitrates can differ and have a different proportion for each segment. + +#### 7.3.2 Controlling data rate by packet size and frequency + +The packet stream realized e.g., by TWAMP as in [IETF RFC 5357] and [IETF RFC 6038] is considered an emulation of a traffic pattern of a real application. This load is not only defined by an average or short-term bitrate but rather by the underlying packet sizes and frequency. Packet size and frequency can be different for individual applications even the resulting bitrate is the same. Some applications may send small packets in higher frequency, while others send larger packets but in lower frequency. + +Therefore, the target bitrates for the segments have to be broken into the parameters' packet size and packet sending frequency. The packet size is limited to the range between the minimum defined by the header size of all transport protocols including the TWAMP header and the maximum defined e.g., by TWAMP as in [IETF RFC 6038] (~65 000 bytes). Within this range, the packet size and frequency should be set to resemble the real application traffic. + +Packet sizes exceeding one maximum transmission unit (MTU) will be split into multiple MTUs transmitted and received sequentially. The receiving side will then assemble the incoming MTUs to one UDP packet. It should be noted that the latency and the corresponding PDVs are calculated based on the reception of the latest MTU forming this individual packet. Furthermore, a packet is counted as lost if a single MTU is lost or erroneous. + +This consideration of oversized packets will result in data streams close to a real application. An oversized packet is split into several MTUs but these MTUs are transferred directly one after another as a bulk of MTUs. After transmitting, there can be a pause until the next oversized packet is split and transmitted. The more bursty data traffic on lower layers is closer to resembling the reality for those applications.2 + +One additional restriction applies to the packet frequency if TWAMP as in [IETF RFC 5357] is used: The defined packet frequency applies for uplink and downlink traffic within one segment, because of the round-trip nature of the measurement. Packets are only reflected at the server side, not multiplied nor discarded. Thus, the packet frequency in both directions is identical. + +--- + +2 A typical example application is UHD video streaming, where single frames are packetized but exceed the MTU size and are split. Nevertheless, the entire packet (video frame) is considered as lost if the transport of a single MTU fails. + +# 8 Latency test results and metrics + +## 8.1 Per-packet two-way latency + +The realization of the described two-way latency measurement method allows the determination of the latency of each individual sent and received UDP packet. As a result of the measurement, the vector $D(i)$ , where $D$ is the latency of an individual packet $i$ for a measurement interval, is available for detailed analysis. + +As statistical aggregation metrics of $D(i)$ quantiles are recommended: + +- Delay $D(i)$ 50th percentile (median) +- Delay $D(i)$ 10th percentile (approximation for the shortest reachable latencies in practice) + +An arithmetic average as statistical mean for characterization of the latency in a measurement interval cannot be recommended, since individual extreme latencies dominate this average. Measured packet latencies follow a so-called heavy-tailed distribution with reduced meaning of arithmetic averages. + +## 8.2 Packet delay variation + +In line with [ITU-T Y.1540] and [IETF RFC 5481], the packet delay of an individual packet is rated to the minimal packet latency and is defined as: + +$$PDV(i) = D(i) - D(\min) \text{ where } PDV(i) \in \mathbb{R}^+$$ + +where $D(i)$ is the individual latency of one packet and $D(\min)$ is the minimum individual latency of all packets in the measurement interval. + +PDV values can only be zero or positive, and quantiles of the PDV distribution are direct indications of delay variation. + +This vector $PDV(i)$ is used to calculate the: + +- $PDV$ 50th percentile (median) +- $PDV$ 99.9th percentile (approx. maximum) + +The PDV is a relative measure with respect to the packet with the shortest latency. This enables the provision of the PDV per direction, as no time synchronization is needed for relative measures. Based on the timestamps of sending at client side and receiving at server side, the uplink one-way PDV can be computed. Likewise, based on the timestamps of sending at server side and receiving at client side the downlink one-way PDV can be derived. Consequently, PDV is available as: + +- $PDV_{CS}$ one-way (client to server) +- $PDV_{SC}$ one-way (server to client) + +In principle and if needed, also the resulting two-way PDV (client to server and return) can be obtained from the available timestamps. + +## 8.3 Inter-packet delay variation + +In line with [IETF RFC 5481], the inter-packet delay variation (IPDV)3 of an individual packet is rated to the delay of the previous packet and is defined as: + +$$IPDV(i) = D(i) - D(i - 1) \text{ where } i \in N$$ + +where $D(i)$ is the individual delay of one packet. + +IPDV values can be both negative and positive, and percentiles of the IPDV distribution are direct indications of delay variation. + +--- + +3 Please note that IPDV is also used as an abbreviation for IP-packet delay variation in other contexts. + +This vector $IPDV(i)$ is used to calculate the: + +- $IPDV_{>0}$ 34.1th percentile (standard deviation under assumption of normal distribution) +- $IPDV_{>0}$ 99.9th percentile (approx. maximum) + +Here $IPDV_{>0}$ denotes the vector of all positive values of IPDV. + +The IPDV is a relative measure with respect to the previous packet. This enables the provision of the IPDV per direction, as no time synchronization is needed for relative measures. Based on the timestamps of sending at client side and receiving at server side, the uplink one-way IPDV can be computed. Likewise, based on the timestamps of sending at server side and receiving at client side the downlink one-way IPDV can be derived. Consequently, IPDV is available as: + +- $IPDV_{CS}$ one-way (client to server) +- $IPDV_{SC}$ one-way (server to client) + +In principle and if needed, additionally the resulting two-way IPDV (client to server and return) can be obtained from the available timestamps. + +## 8.4 Lost packets + +Packets which are not received on the IP-interface of client or server side are counted as lost. + +This covers more than lost packets that are actually lost, in particular: + +- Not sent packets: Packets that could not leave the client device due to uplink congestion and being discarded by the device kernel after timeout. +- Lost packets: Packets that were lost during transmission or could not leave the reflecting server due to downlink congestion and being discarded by the server kernel after timeout. Lost packets can be determined at the reflecting server side as well as at the receiving client. Lost packets can be reported for either one-way separately or two-way. +- Erroneous packets: Packets that were corrupted after arriving back at the client device.4 + +An overall indicator as the ratio of lost packets $P_L$ can be computed simply by: + +$$P_L = \text{number of lost packets} / \text{number of all packets sent by the application}$$ + +The packet loss $P_L$ can also be calculated per direction separately if the underlying method allows it. + +$$P_{L\_CS} = \text{number of lost packets at server side} / \text{number of all packets sent by the client application}$$ + +$$P_{L\_SC} = \text{number of lost packets at client receiving side} / \text{number of all packets sent by the server}$$ + +# 9 Interactivity prediction model and related test case definition + +### 9.1 Principles of the generic interactivity model approach + +Obtaining latency, PDV, IPDV and packet loss opens the possibility to create a prediction model for perceived interactivity for individual applications or application classes. An application class could be, for example, HD video chat or online gaming, where the effect of delay, jitter and loss on perception is comparable in between the individual realizations of the application. + +The basic concept of scoring interactivity is that the latency and number of lost and unusable packets determine the interactivity perceived by a user. Two-way packet latency gives information on how fast a response to an action originated at the client user device is received back at the device side. In + +--- + +4 Please note that usually the IP kernel of the operating system discards corrupted packets below the IP interface level. When tracing packets at IP level, corrupted packets are seen as lost. + +addition, disqualified packets are missing information for the user's application. They can be lost packets as in clause 8.4 or packets considered as discarded by exceeding a delay limit. Those lost and discarded packets are defined as disqualified packets.5 Whether disqualified packets can be interpolated by the application or only lead to temporary distortions, pausing while using the application or even stopping the application completely depends on the application itself and its implementation. + +To receive results for latency and ratio of disqualified packets as close to a real application as possible, the packet stream – especially in data-rate and traffic pattern – should emulate the targeted application in use. + +Latency of the received packets and number of disqualified packets determine the perceived interactivity, but the influence on the perceived interactivity of an application or use case depends on the target application and the expectation of the user. + +Consequently, there will not be one single prediction model for interactivity, but rather individual ones for different applications. Considering the huge number of potential applications, a generic and scalable approach is developed and described in this Recommendation. + +Therefore, the following principles are anticipated: + +- Same input parameter types for derived interactivity models +- Same computational structure of the interactivity model +- Classification of applications and use cases in application types or groups having same or similar expectations of the user +- Parametrization of the computational model structure to one specific application type or group + +Considering the principles above, a fast realization of prediction models is achievable and because of clear application grouping and a transparent approach, the results stay comparable within and across application groups. One example of a model for the computation of an interactivity score based on the principles described above is given in Annex A. + +## **9.2 Parametrization of an interactivity model** + +#### **9.2.1 Subjective testing** + +The most obvious approach to parametrization is the use of data obtained by subjective testing of the application that should be predicted by the interactivity model. Human subjects have to use the application in its interactive stage under different defined channel conditions regarding latency, jitter and loss and to score the perceived interactivity. Based on the results, the best fitting parameters for the above-described model can be derived. + +The advantage of this approach is the direct link to human scores of a real application and thus the ability to correctly reflect the priority/weight of different network degradations. Disadvantages are that the application has to exist and that the outcome of the test refers to this dedicated application and it is hardly possible to generalize unless also evaluating how other competing applications behave, which does not have to be done with fully subjective tests. Furthermore, the ambition of a test user in an experimental set-up may not be fully comparable with a real use of the application, where the interests of the user are different. + +--- + +5 Considering packets exceeding the delay budget as unusable and discarded reflects real-time applications, where delayed packets cannot be considered for e.g., rendering a media stream. + +#### 9.2.2 Best practice parametrization + +Best practice parametrization models perceive interactivity based on anticipated thresholds for a given application or use case. These anticipated thresholds are derived from expected performance in certain environments while using the application. Basic considerations can be at which latency a perceived degradation of latency starts (e.g., an interactivity score of 90 of 100) and at which latency the perceived interactivity drops significantly (e.g., an interactivity score of 60 of 100, would relate to MOS $\sim$ 3 in a five-point absolute category rating (ACR) test) and/or where the application becomes unusable in practice. In addition, the influence of packet loss and serious packet delay variation should be estimated. This estimation considers known or assumed packet loss and buffering strategies. Examples for best practice parametrization are shown in Appendices I and II.. + +### 9.3 Guidelines for application grouping + +In principle, an individual traffic pattern and interactivity model can be defined for each application or use case. However, there are applications and use cases resulting in very similar patterns and model parameters. For comparability and practical use, it is helpful to test applications and use cases under the same conditions if the traffic shape and/or model parameters are similar. + +Traffic pattern similarity should be given in + +- Temporal structure of traffic pattern; +- Applied bit rates. + +Model parameter similarity should be given in + +- Delay budget for the application; +- Perceptual influence of packet latency; +- Degradation by packet latency variations and especially disqualified packets. + +The use of the same defined traffic pattern and set of model parameters for different applications is not limited to similar appearance or use; applications can be treated the same although they have a different use, as long as they share the similarities above. + +## 9.4 Guidelines for defining test cases + +The results obtained by the test method, such as two-way latency, PDV, IPDV and packet loss, depend on the traffic emulated, for example, on bitrate and packet size. Therefore, the measurement of latency must take place under equivalent traffic conditions as in the target application for which latency scores should be obtained. + +If the measurement results will be used to estimate the interactivity of an application type, the parametrization of this model must also consider the characteristics of the targeted application such as sensitivity to packet loss, defined delay budget and dependency on latency. + +Considering this, a test case for deriving a prediction of interactivity is mainly defined by the used traffic or bitrate profile including packet size and frequency, and – if applied – the model parameters to estimate perceived interactivity. A packet with a two-way latency exceeding the defined delay budget is considered as disqualified, meaning discarded due to late arrival by the emulated application. + +Limits for latency of different application classes, grouped by the standardized 5QI value, are given by [3GPP TS 23.501]. These limits apply to network delays. They are preferable to use if the emulated application matches, otherwise best practice assumptions or actual discarding limits of the applications are practicable. + +Examples of traffic patterns and corresponding model parameters for a model as described in Annex A are presented in Appendix I. + +## Annex A + +## Computational structure of a generic interactivity model approach + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +### A.1 Introduction + +This annex describes a model for estimation of perceived interactivity. As perceived interactivity strongly depends on the application class, the computational model must be parametrized for dedicated application classes and their demands. + +The model is based on the obtained two-way latency per packet from simulated data traffic in a network or transport centric approach. + +The basic idea of this model realization is a simple consideration of the application's client and server and its scalable construction across many different application cases. Even though this will not perfectly match each individual application, its main advantage is the comparability between individual settings and modelled test cases due to the same modelling approach being taken. + +### A.2 Modelling approach for perceived interactivity of interactive applications + +The basic assumption of modelling perceived interactivity is its monotonous dependency on data latency. The shorter the data transport time is, the shorter the response time in an interactive application is and the more interactive the use of the application is perceived to be. + +However, this dependency is not a simple linear function; rather there are saturation areas at both tails of the function, where no further change in perception happens even if the latency changes. + +A valid approximation of this non-linear dependency is a logistic (sigmoid) function. + +$$f(t) = 1 - \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\frac{1}{b}(t-a)}}$$ + +where $a$ defines the horizontal shift on the $t$ -axis and $b$ the gradient. + +For a parametrization that matches the value range of positive latencies and a scaling by $f_0$ to a maximum score value of $f_p(0) = f_{max}$ , the following formula is applied: + +$$f_p(t, i) = \frac{f_{max}}{f_0} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\frac{1}{b}(t_i-a)}} \right) \text{ for } t > 0 \text{ with } f_0 = 1 - \frac{1}{1 + e^{\frac{a}{b}}}$$ + +where $t$ is the packet latency in milliseconds, $i$ is the indicator of the packet, $a$ defines the shift of $f_p(t, i)$ directly on the $t$ -axis in milliseconds and $b$ defines the gradient of $f_p(t, i)$ , where larger values of $b$ make $f_p(t, i)$ less steep. + +The scaling factor $f_0$ guarantees the maximum score value at $t = 0$ . In case, the upper saturation area of the $f_p(t, i)$ starts in the range of $t > 0$ , the $f_0$ will be close to 1.0. If $f_0 \rightarrow 1$ , the parameter $a$ defines the latency value where the perceived interactivity has fallen to almost 50% of $f_{max}$ . + +In cases where per-packet two-way latency can be obtained, the logistic function can be applied to each individual packet latency. Here, the value $f_p(t, i)$ is computed for each individual packet $i$ and its latency $t$ . The aggregated interactivity based on latencies $I_L$ for an observation period is the average of all $f_p(t, i)$ : + +$$I_L = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{f_{max}}{f_0} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\frac{1}{b}(t_i-a)}} \right)$$ + +In cases where the per-packet two-way latency cannot be obtained in the test set-up or higher order statistics appear more applicable, the principle of the logistic weighting can be applied to the median of the two-way latencies as a single value input into the function. + +$$I_{L-CG} = \frac{f_{max}}{f_0} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\frac{1}{b}(RTT_{MEDIAN} - a)}} \right)$$ + +with $RTT_{MEDIAN}$ = Median delay of all packets sent by the application + +If using the alternative method, the parameters $a$ and $b$ may differ from the per-packet application of the sigmoid function. + +![Figure A.1: A graph titled 'Logistic weighting of two-way latency (Example)'.

In addition to that, a real application will also discard packets which are heavily delayed + +and are not received in time. This maximum accepted delay for packets depends on the application and e.g., internal queuing and buffering mechanisms. In general, the more real-time capability an application has to provide, the shorter the acceptable delay. Packets received later than the maximum delay are discarded by the application and would not be usable for a real and running application, for example, for media rendering. + +For predicting a perceived interactivity, discarded packets count as lost packets ( $P_L$ ) and are counted cumulatively as disqualified packets. This covers in particular: + +- Not sent packets: Packets that could not leave the client device due to uplink congestion and being discarded by the device kernel after timeout. +- Lost packets: Packets that were lost during transmission or could not leave the reflecting server due to downlink congestion and being discarded by the server kernel after timeout. Lost packets can be determined at the reflecting server side as well as at the receiving client. Lost packets can be reported for either one-way separately as well as for two-way. +- Erroneous packets: Packets that were corrupted after arriving back at the client device. + +as considered in clause 8.4 as lost packets, and additionally + +- Discarded packets: Packets that were received back after a pre-defined timeout at the client device. This timeout, also called delay budget, emulates discarding by a real application because of too long a delay. The timeout is specified and defined according to the maximum acceptable latency for the target application and forms one parameter of emulation of the application. + +From an application's point of view, no differentiation is needed between the individual causes of not considering a packet as received. An overall indicator such as the ratio of disqualified packets $P_{DQ}$ is seen as sufficient at application level. + +$$P_{DQ} = \text{number of disqualified packets} / \text{number of all packets sent by the application}$$ + +As a consequence, all packets considered as usable by the application are defined as qualified packets. + +#### A.3.2 PDV considering delay budget + +In clause 8.2, the packet delay variation (PDV) is defined. The PDV is derived from the received packet stream without considering discarding due to the applied delay budget. As for prediction of the perceived interactivity a delay budget is applied, the PDV of the incoming packet stream does not reflect anymore the packet delay variation to be considered by the emulated application. + +To reflect the packet delay variation within the applied delay budget, the formula of PDV is applied to packet delays considering only the qualified packets according to clause A.3.2.1 and defined as $PDV_Q$ . In the further modelling, the standard deviation across all $PDV_Q$ values is defined as $PDV_{sQ}$ . + +The $PDV_{sQ}$ describing delay variation from client to server and return can be calculated based on two-way latencies, where the time difference between sending a packet and receiving back its reflection is measured. + +If the two-way PDV cannot be obtained, alternatively the standard deviation of PDV or IPDV can be computed individually per link direction.6 Here, IPDV and resulting $IPDV_{sQ}$ are measured for either direction separately and the average of the standard deviations of IPDV in the uplink and downlink direction is considered as substitute of two-way $PDV_{sQ}$ . If using the per-link computation, the parameter $u$ may differ from that defined for two-way $PDV_{sQ}$ . + +--- + +6 This separation into IPDV per link is also required in case of asymmetrical traffic patterns using different packet frequencies in each direction. There is no one-to-one relation between sent and received packets which is the pre-condition for a two-way PDV or two-way IPDV. + +#### A.3.3 Consideration of disqualified packets and two-way PDV in the interactivity model + +In addition to latency, it is anticipated that delay variation and number of disqualified packets also contribute to perceived interactivity. To simplify, both indicators are considered as degrading factors $D_{PDV}$ and $D_{DQ}$ by multiplication: + +$$IntAct = I_L \times D_{PDV} \times D_{DQ}, \text{ with } D_{PDV} = 1 - PDV_{SQ} / u, \text{ and } D_{DQ} = 1 - v P_{DQ}$$ + +In the expression above, $PDV_{SQ}$ is the standard deviation across all $PDV_Q$ values, $P_{DQ}$ is the ratio of disqualified packets, and $u$ and $v$ are parameters that determine the impact of the degradations on interactivity. Alternatively, $PDV_{SQ}$ can also be used as descriptor for the standard deviation of $IPDV_Q$ . + +The multiplication with the contributors $0 < D_{PDV} < 1$ and/or $0 < D_{DQ} < 1$ will also decrease the maximum value $IntAct_{max} < I_{Lmax}$ . It means even if latency is very short, if packets are disqualified the maximum score for perceived interactivity can no longer be reached. + +For example, a median $PDV_{SQ}$ of 20 ms will lead to a degrading factor $D_{PDV} \sim 0.85$ if $u = 130$ , and a ratio of disqualified packets of 5% ( $P_{DQ} = 0.05$ ) to a degrading factor $D_{DQ} = 0.65$ if $v = 7$ . + +The influence of $PDV_{SQ}$ and $P_{DQ}$ to the weighting function is illustrated in Figure A.3. + +![Figure A.3: Logistic weighting of two-way latency (Example).

The logistic weighting function to estimate a perceived interactivity value from two-way latency measurements ensures a monotonous behaviour and can model perceptual saturation areas at both boundaries of the scale similar to typical perceptual weightings. Degrading effects of delay jitter (derived from $PDV_{SQ}$ ) and disqualified packet loss ( $P_{DQ}$ ) are considered by simple multiplicative scaling factors. Multiplicative scaling retains the monotonous behaviour and does not change the saturation areas and their cut-off positions. + +There may be more accurate formulas for perceived interactivity and individual model structures for dedicated applications, but those definitions require more investigations and are for further study. + +## Appendix I + +## Example generic traffic patterns and model parameters according to Annex A + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +### I.1 Principle of application emulation and model parameters + +There are many individual traffic patterns when using an application. They depend on the application itself, the phase in the application (e.g., the gaming scene) and the interaction by the user. + +Instead of exactly simulating an individual pattern, a more generalized approach is chosen. At first, applications are classified under consideration of similar use and resulting load, e.g., video chat applications or gaming. For those classes of applications, an analysis of real traffic when using the most common applications of each class was made. The derived patterns do not just represent an average bitrate, rather they emulate some statistical characteristics of the real patterns such as the relative occurrence of data rates (e.g., 50% ~100 kbit/s, 30% ~500 kbit/s and 20% ~2 Mbit/s) as well as typical temporal behaviour in a simple way by e.g., incorporating peaks or longer steady transport. + +This principle will load the network statistically in a similar way to a real application of this class and leads to latencies as they can be expected when running this type of application. + +These example traffic patterns and the resulting two-way latency values, the measured PDV and packet loss can also be used to estimate a perceived interactivity for this application class by applying a computational interactivity model as described in Annex A. + +The model as in Annex A is based on measurements on the transport layer; the measurements do not consider the application itself with respect to specific treatments of transport problems such as packet loss concealment or predictive media rendering, for example, as in video or gaming. The examples given in this appendix are parametrized by applying limits and thresholds defined by 3GPP for individual use cases and might be more challenging than subjective experience including real applications with error treatment. + +### I.2 Examples for application emulation and interactivity score computation + +#### I.2.1 Example high-interactive 'e-Gaming real-time' + +The example traffic pattern for emulating high-interactive e-gaming is derived from heavy multiplayer games. It covers an initializing phase (low-bit-rate) without interaction, a sustainable phase with motion and interaction, the loading of a new game instance as a bit rate peak, a longer sustainable phase of high interaction with up to several hundreds of players and a (low-bit-rate) trailing phase with fewer players and medium interaction. The set bit rates for the phases were taken from real, demanding multiplayer games and represent also in its relative duration and sequence a real gaming session but compressed into a duration of 10 s. + +The chosen packet size is 100 bytes sent in a frequency of 125 to 1250 packets per second and the pattern is the same in uplink and downlink, meaning each packet is reflected in the same size. In [3GPP TS 23.501] a maximal one-way latency for online real-time gaming of 50 ms is defined (5QI class 3), the two-way latency therefore should not exceed 100 ms and forms the delay budget for this test case. + +![Figure I.1: Example of traffic pattern 'e-Gaming real-time'.

In [3GPP TS 23.501], a maximal one-way latency for conversational video of 150 ms is defined (5QI class 2), the two-way latency therefore should not exceed 300 ms and this value forms the delay budget for this test case. + +These two examples of applications and traffic shapes have similar constraints regarding perceived interactivity and as an example, the applicable interactivity uses the same parameters for both applications and traffic shapes. + +For parametrization of the interactivity model as described in clause 9.2.2, the following principles are used: While running a video chat with interactions and feedback, a two-way delay of 100 ms can be seen as the length of a spoken syllable, a beginning degradation is anticipated for this range (90 of 100 for the interactivity score). The interactions become very difficult in case of a response delay $> 250$ ms. + +It is further expected that while using an interactive remote meeting, a user may have more relaxed expectations on packet delay variations than for e-gaming but is more sensitive in case of lost or disqualified packets because video meetings are usually based on unreliable transmission and missed frames are visible as image distortions. + +To reflect this, it is anticipated that a $PDV_{SQ}$ of 25 ms reduces the interactivity as defined by latency by another 10% ( $D_{PDV} = 0.9$ ) and a ratio of disqualified packets of 1% reduces the perceived interactivity already by 30% ( $D_{DQ} = 0.7$ ). + +The parametrization of the model is resulting in: + +| Parameter | $f_{max}$ | $a$ | $b$ | $u$ | $v$ | +|-----------|-----------|-----|-----|-----|-----| +| Value | 100 | 215 | 50 | 150 | 30 | + +![Figure I.7: A line graph titled 'Interactivity score 'RemoteMeeting', 'Video Chat HD''.

There can be many reasons, but in subjective testing the actual application on server and client are considered. + +Even though the model described in Annex A is based on measurements on the transport layer and the measurements do not consider the application itself, the model in Annex A can be parametrized to approximate the subjective perception as in subjective tests. + +The given examples in this Appendix II are parametrized by a real gaming situation, while the parameters in Appendix I are based on QoS limits. The subjects played a CS\_GO FPS game of 90 seconds match rounds over a Steam Link connection. Consequently, the example parameters in this appendix differ from those given in Appendix I, because the model approximate subjective scores include a real application and its gaming situation. + +### II.2 Traffic patterns + +#### II.2.1 Packet pattern temporal structure + +The recorded packets show that the pattern is mostly tied to the video and audio frame rate. The 120 Hz frame rate and the 50 Hz audio frame rate have the shortest common period of 100 ms, when 12 videoframes and five audio frames are transmitted. This has been noticed from the fact that periodical video and audio frame bursts are transmitted one after each other with a common denominator period of 100 ms. However, the common period can be approximated quite accurately with a 40 ms period comprising five video frames and two audio frames. + +The packets recorded on DL show that a video frame is represented by six packets and audio frame by two packets when now network impairments was applied. The last packets of each of these two packet burst types (video frames, audio frames) vary typically between 500 and 800 bytes, and the other packets are of full MTU size. The total size should depend on codecs, resolution and compression rate. + +From both DL and UL recorded packets it can also be seen that there is in both directions an acknowledgement mechanism causing transmission of smaller single packets in between bursts. + +In addition to the transmission of the apparent acknowledgements, the recorded UL packets show that the frame rate is present, and it shows that user input is transmitted at this rate. + +UL packet recording also shows a packet appearing approximately at 50 Hz, which likely is audio input from the user's microphone. + +It should be noted that modern algorithms for prioritizing traffic in network nodes analyse the pattern of the traffic. Therefore, in order to closely mimic the real cloud game service, it is important that the traffic characteristics reflect the presence of audio and video streams and the extra packets indicating a real-time transmission. + +Table II.1 presents the DL and UL packets patterns basic characteristics represented by packet size and number, based on the analysis of the recorded UL and DL packets described above. + +**Table II.1 – Packets patterns characteristics** + +| Network condition: No degradations | | | | Network condition: worst case | | | | +|-------------------------------------------|--------|-----------|--------|--------------------------------------|--------|-----------|--------| +| UL | | DL | | UL | | DL | | +| Packets/s | kbit/s | Packets/s | kbit/s | Packets/s | kbit/s | Packets/s | kbit/s | +| ~150 | ~140 | ~1100 | ~10000 | ~700 | ~620 | ~600 | ~3500 | + +As already mentioned above, dividing the packet pattern into temporal sub-segments of 40 ms is expected to be accurate enough. However, to handle the different number of packets per link direction the protocol of choice needs to support, or be extended to support, the concept of bursts (in this case frames) instead (or in addition to) of the single packet concept. This results in two-way measurements such as RTT on the frame burst level instead of the single packet level, but only for the first packet on the respective link. + +### II.3 Guidance for adaptation + +#### II.3.1 Number of adaptations per link + +The different packet patterns for DL can be created by adjusting the number of packets representing the video where the traffic is represented by one to five packets of MTU size. Consequently, the DL can be represented by five patterns. + +Packet loss (PL) affects the packet patterns by increasing packets per second and bit/s from the server or from the client. Only a high PL significantly affects the amount of extra traffic, but the interactivity reaches very low subjective interactivity at far lower packet losses and thus the PL impact on the packet pattern can be ignored. The exception would be when RTT is low enough (depending on service's settings) for a re-transmission mechanism to handle high rates of PL with much smaller impact on interactivity. However, that low RTT is not the case for today's mobile networks when the service is running at 120 Hz, and thus that exception case can also be ignored. + +For UL the effect of packet loss is much more dramatic, a 5% packet loss rate can yield a doubled packet/bit rate. However, the UL traffic is, compared with DL, using much less of the maximum capacity of the link, and therefore UL adaptation for PL can be ignored. + +Large spikes in the delay were in the recorded traffic observed to cause a large increase in uplink traffic, possibly warranting a different packet pattern in those cases. Generally though, the traffic amount is still low versus the link capacity and that UL traffic is still, compared with DL, using much less of the maximum capacity of the link. Thus, the UL adaptation for jitter spikes can be ignored. + +#### II.3.2 Adaptation pace + +The adaptation of the packet patterns should correspond to the adaptation during the active gaming time (game match) of 90 seconds (value used in the subjective test). A resolution for the measurements on gaming performance over mobile networks within the context of a drive test, needs to ensure a balance between the following: + +- drive test real-time characteristic +- feasible (practical) adaptation scheme of the tested service to the network conditions +- expected behavioural changes of the tested service's (aka gaming) interactivity depending on the network conditions + +Based on these, a measurement time window of 10 s is reasonable. During the 10 s a 40 ms (or 100 ms as mentioned above) packet pattern is played repeatedly. Within each time window of 10 s, a decision on the adaptation is made after 8–9 s based on the network condition. + +### II.4 Parameters for approximation subjective scores for cloud gaming + +#### II.4.1 Interactive subjective test + +For parametrization of the interactivity model as described in Annex A subjective scores are used in accordance with clause 9.2.1. + +The basis of parametrization is an interactive subjective test set-up in a lab-controlled environment. The test used 31 subject gamers (males=29 and females=2) who met the requirement of having experience with playing games, either on computers or smartphones, and of being of age 18 or older. The subjects provided answers to the cloud gaming questionnaire as defined in [b-ITU-T G.1072]. + +The subjects played a CS\_GO FPS game of 90 seconds match rounds. The reason for the game selection relies on the fact that the scope is to provide a generic quality testing solution for one of the most popular video gaming genres played on mobile devices, using technology typical for delivering these, and at the same time addressing the most demanding video game genres for mobile networks in the sense of being most sensitive to the mobile network performance. In this way operators can optimize and troubleshoot their network for the worst scenarios, and thus pre-empt and avoid customer dissatisfaction for both the most demanding as well as the less demanding games. + +For each gamer, each of the match rounds have been altered by 30 individual network conditions defined by a set of network metrics. Both the network metrics as well as their values and combinations are selected to meaningfully describe the impact of the mobile network performance on the cloud gaming service based on an interactive subjective pre-test run with a small number of gamers, different from the group used in the full-scale test. The following network metrics are defined as follows: + +- i) **RTT (delay)** as the median time the system delivers and receives back a packet, referred to as "static" delay. +- ii) **Jitter** defined as two types of delay variations which show different effect on the Steam Link streaming. + - **Random jitter** frequent with small delay changes (IPDV) from packet to packet. + - **Jitter spikes** characterized by amplitude values $\geq 50$ ms and possibility of frequency between 0.01–1 Hz. +- iii) **Packet loss** as lost packets during transmission or packets which cannot leave the reflecting server due to downlink congestion and being discarded by the server after timeout. + +The network conditions have been created using NetEm emulators and a summary is presented in Table II.2. + +**Table II.2 – Mobile network conditions** + +| Network metric | No. of conditions | Values | +|--------------------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| RTT | 7 | 2*, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 ms | +| PL (per link) | 4 | 0, 5, 25, 45% with RTT=2 ms* | +| PL (per link) with RTT | 9 | PL (0.2, 1, 5%), each with RTT/(25, 50, 100 ms) | +| Jitter spikes (per link) | 6 | Jitter spikes with amplitudes values of (25, 100, 750 ms), applied every (5, 15, 45 s) | +| Random jitter (per link) | 4 | Avg=25 ms, stdev=3, 6, 9, 12 ms | + +\* An RTT of 2 ms is used as reference for a "clean" condition to be simulated with NetEm. + +The target value used for the function parameterization as in Annex A for the cloud gaming over mobile networks use case is selected to be the answer to the question regarding the overall QoE [b-ITU-T G.1072]. The decision for this approach is based on the outcome of an interactive test for + +which the results show that the perceived overall QoE describes the interactivity experience as impacted by all the gaming quality dimensions. In addition, this is also empowered by the usage of a specific game with a specific resolution which is acting as a normalization to a reference video-audio quality, and consequently making the overall QoE an interactivity score. + +#### II.4.2 Function parametrization according to Annex A + +The principal formula for perceived interactivity is as described in Annex A + +$$IntAct = I_L \times D_{PDV} \times D_{DQ}$$ + +The parameter $I_L$ is calculated as $I_{L-CG}$ by + +$$I_{L-CG} = \frac{f_{max}}{f_0} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\frac{1}{b}(RTT_{MEDIAN} - a)}} \right)$$ + +with $RTT_{MEDIAN}$ = Median delay of all packets sent by the application + +The consideration of packet delay jitter is considered by standard deviation if IPDV is used. By standard deviation is meant the average of standard deviation of IPDV on DL and standard deviation of IPDV on UL. + +$$IPDV(i) = D(i) - D(i-1), \text{ and}$$ + +$$D_{IPDV} = 1 - \frac{IPDV_{STDEV}}{u}$$ + +Finally, the effect of packet loss is modified compared to Annex A, because the 3GPP RTT specified limit (RTT = 100 ms) does not reflect when interaction with the service (cloud gaming in this case) is not possible per se, since packets are rarely late for a critical moment, and users adapt to latency which anyway is handled by $I_L$ . + +The proposed modification is to consider a limit of 100 ms for disqualification on large jitter (IPDV) values in order to capture the fact that large delay spikes disrupt the ability to interact. The reasoning for this is that tests showed that delay spikes start to affect at 50 ms and can have very noticeable effect at 1500 ms, and these jitter spikes are not captured by the median value of PDV. + +In addition, it is proposed that DQ term is used to describe the packet loss. Therefore, the $D_{DQ}$ term becomes: + +$$D_{DQ-CG} = 1 - v \times P_{DQ}$$ + +$$\text{with } P_{DQ} = \frac{P_{JS}}{T_{MeasureWindow}} + \overline{P_{L-CS} + P_{L-SC}}$$ + +$$\text{and } P_{JS} = \max(IPDV) \text{ , if } \max(IPDV) \geq DQ_{LIMIT}$$ + +$$= 0, \text{ otherwise}$$ + +where by JS is denoted the jitter spike, and $DQ_{LIMIT}=50$ ms + +These modification results in a combining formula as + +$$IntAct \text{ for } CG = f_{offset} + f_{max} \times I_{L-CG} \times D_{IPDV} \times D_{DQ-CG}$$ + +The parameters $a$ , $b$ , $u$ and $v$ to be applied for approximating scores as obtained in the introduced subjective test set-up are: + +| Parameter | $a$ | $b$ | $u$ | $v$ | +|-----------|-----|-----|-----|-----| +| Value | 213 | 91 | 25 | 7 | + +![Figure II.1: Interactivity score 'CloudGaming' graph.

In principle, an advanced ALC device may feature more than one target level, depending on the transmitted signal (e.g., speech, data, or DTMF tones). + +# 4 Abbreviations and acronyms + +This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: + +| | | +|------|------------------------------------------| +| ALC | Automatic Level Control | +| A/D | Analogue-to-Digital converter | +| CSS | Composite Source Signal | +| D/A | Digital-to-Analog converter | +| DCME | Digital Circuit Multiplication Equipment | +| DTMF | Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency | +| ERL | Echo Return Loss | +| ISDN | Integrated Services Digital Network | + +# 5      **Characteristics of ALC devices** + +## 5.1      **General** + +This Recommendation is applicable to automatic level control (ALC) devices installed in digital network-based equipment. An ALC device is defined as any signal processing function located in the digital transmission path which automatically adjusts the level of a signal towards a predetermined value. Devices which modify the frequency response or spectral content of the signal in such a way as to affect the overall level of the signal are also defined as ALC devices for the purpose of this Recommendation. + +## 5.2      **ALC characteristics** + +ALC devices installed in the network should have the following characteristics: + +- 1)      The ability to introduce restricted gain or loss in the circuit to maintain the level of a call at a predetermined value. +- 2)      The ability to maintain the stability of a connection at all times (both during call set-up and for the duration of the call), in cases with and without associated echo control. +- 3)      The ability to maintain proper operation during facsimile and voiceband data transmission. +- 4)      The ability to operate with realistic levels of background and circuit noise (e.g., mobile networks). +- 5)      The ability to operate correctly in the presence of echo. +- 6)      The ability not to interfere with the correct operation of signalling tones used in the network. +- 7)      The ALC device, when disabled, should provide a 64 kbit/s bit-sequence integrity mode of operation. + +## 5.3      **Tandemed operation** + +There are significant issues related to the tandemed operation of ALC devices. All tandemed ALC devices should have the capability of being disabled. Methods for disabling ALC devices and the tests to ensure proper operation of tandemed ALC devices are for further study. + +## 5.4      **Delay performance** + +The delay in the processing path and the non-processing path of an ALC device should be kept to a minimum. For ALC devices used in networks that do not incorporate echo cancellers, the delay in the processing path should be kept to a minimum and should not exceed 1 ms. The delay in the non-processing path of the ALC device should not exceed 250 µs for interface frame alignment. As a result, there should be no additional or incremental processing delay added in the non-processing direction of the ALC function. + +For ALC devices used in networks that incorporate echo cancellers, the above constraints on the ALC processing do not apply. This is to allow flexibility in the design of algorithms that may perform functions other than simple ALC, but which are still covered by this Recommendation. In this case, the delay performance of the algorithm in the processing path should be clearly stated. The delay in the non-processing path of the ALC device should not exceed 250 µs for interface frame alignment. As a result, there should be no additional or incremental processing delay added in the non-processing direction of the ALC function. Designers are reminded that the delay in the processing path of all such devices should be kept to a minimum. + +# 6 Test signals + +## 6.1 Test signal for level and gain checks + +The ALC response to speech signals may be significantly different from the response to stationary periodic test signals (e.g., sinusoidal test signals). Consequently, if periodic test signals are used for level and gain measurements, the ALC device must respond to the chosen test signal in the same manner as it would to a speech signal. Otherwise, the results might not represent the actual performance in regard to speech signals. For example, certain ALC devices may respond to particular frequencies by resetting the gain to unity or disabling themselves, in which case the test results are not indicative of its performance with actual speech signals. + +Also, some designs of ALC devices do not make gain changes while a continuous signal persists. In this case, it would be necessary to provide a means of turning the modulation of the test signal on or off so that gain changes can occur, but return to continuous signal mode when making the level or gain measurements. In the case of an on/off modulated test signal, references to the level of the signal within this Recommendation relate to the "on" portion of the test signal (i.e., measurements made on the unmodulated signal). + +For some ALC device designs, the target level (as defined in clause 3) may be dependent on the characteristics of the applied signal, i.e., the target level with a speech signal may differ, in practice, from the target level with a tone. For such an ALC device, this aspect does not prevent the use of a sine wave signal in the tests described in clause 7. + +A suitable test signal must be selected by reference to the specifications for the ALC device under test. In most cases, suitable test signals for level and gain checks would be provided by a set of sinusoids (e.g., 204 Hz, 304 Hz, 504 Hz, 1004 Hz, 1804 Hz and 2804 Hz), on/off modulated, if necessary, at the rate 1 second on/1 second off. + +In principle, an advanced ALC device may feature more than one target level depending on the transmitted signal. Such an ALC device would have the ability to discriminate between different signal types, e.g., speech, data, or DTMF tones. In this situation, for tests on the performance of the ALC device with a speech signal, care must be taken that the selected test signal is identified by the ALC device as speech. + +Because tone signals may prove unsuitable or inadequate for a particular design of ALC device, consideration is given to the use of band-limited noise as the test signal. Consideration is also given to the use of the composite source signal (CSS) defined in [ITU-T P.501]. As a last resort, pre-recorded speech may be used as the test signal, in conjunction with speech level measurement facilities such as those defined in [ITU-T P.56]. However, the use of speech will make certain tests difficult to perform. + +## 6.2 Electrical circuit noise + +When required in the tests, electrical circuit noise should be emulated by a continuous, white Gaussian noise signal, band-limited to the frequency range 0-3.4 kHz at source. References to the level of this noise test signal relate to the mean power of the signal, measured flat (i.e., without psophometric weighting). The level, type and time structure of this test signal is for further study. + +## 6.3 Environmental noise + +When required in the tests, environmental noise should be emulated by a white Gaussian noise signal, band-limited to the frequency range 0-800 Hz at source, and on/off modulated at the rate 1 second on/1 second off. References to the level of this noise test signal relate to the "on" portion of the signal, equivalent to the mean power of the unmodulated signal, measured flat (i.e., without psophometric weighting). The level, type and time structure of this test signal is for further study. + +# 7 Tests + +In many of the following tests, it is necessary to check the gain of the ALC device at various times to see whether any change in gain has occurred. In the test procedures, it is assumed that the ALC device has no provision that would allow its gain to be interrogated at arbitrary points in time. If a particular ALC device does include such provision, then this feature may be used to simplify aspects of the following tests, and may lead to more accurate results. + +The tests relate to ALC devices installed in digital networks; therefore, the tests require the injection and measurement of signals in digital circuits. This implies the use of digital test equipment, or of suitable analogue-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analogue (D/A) converters. + +In some cases, the ALC device under test may be integrated with, or required to work with, other network equipment such as an echo canceller. This implies a capability to inject and monitor test signals in a primary rate multiplexed bitstream. In the case of echo cancellers, it will be necessary to ensure that these devices are fully converged before conducting any of the following tests. For this purpose, it is recommended that a white Gaussian noise signal at an approximate level of $-10\text{ dBm}0$ be injected into the test circuit. The noise signal should be applied first to one direction of transmission for a minimum period of 10 seconds, with no signal in the other direction; it should then be removed and applied to the other direction of transmission for at least 10 seconds. + +An ALC device adjusts the level of a signal towards a target level. Typically, the target level will be user selectable within a certain range. In networks where the objectives for send loudness rating (SLR) and receive loudness rating (RLR) are 8 dB and 2 dB respectively (i.e., at the mid-point of the long term objectives for these loudness ratings specified in [ITU-T G.121]), the desired target level with a speech signal is $-19\text{ dBm}0$ . This level is based on the approximate relationship between SLR and speech level presented in [ITU-T G.115]. In some devices, the target level will be dependent on the characteristics of the input signal (e.g., the target level with a speech signal may be different from the target level with a tone). In the following test procedures, references to "target level" relate to the target level appropriate to the particular test signal in use (i.e., the level of the test signal at the input to the ALC device that would cause the device to progress to unity gain). + +In the tests, it is assumed that the same target level is used in all the individual tests. The selected target level should be realistic in terms of network level objectives, bearing in mind that, for some ALC devices, the target level may be dependent on the nature of the test signal. The use of unrealistic target levels may invalidate some of the tests. Compliance tests on a device should record the target level adopted, and the type of signal to which this target level relates. + +## 7.1 Stability + +Network stability issues are addressed in [ITU-T G.122]. With regard to 4-wire circuits with 2-wire end paths, it is normal practice to ensure (as far as is practicable) that there is always a net loss associated with the 4-wire loop. In this way, stability is achieved even for conditions of severe impedance mismatch at the 2-wire/4-wire terminating units. + +ALC devices that can introduce significant amounts of gain threaten to reduce or cancel the stability margin of a connection, particularly if ALC is installed in both directions of transmission. The problem is further exacerbated if cascaded ALC systems are permitted. The maximum gain introduced by ALC systems must be restricted to prevent instability, having regard to worst-case conditions for a connection. + +ALC may be deployed in two separate network scenarios: + +- a) networks without pre-existing echo control; +- b) networks with echo control. + +Stability issues associated with full echo cancellation are not discussed in this clause – refer to clause II.1. + +### 7.1.1 Networks without pre-existing echo control + +Typically, networks without echo control will be national networks where the maximum transmission delays encountered are small and do not justify the use of echo control equipment. In the short term, ALC systems will rarely be deployed in such networks since they are unlikely to have suitable signal processing platforms installed, so making the provision of ALC economically unattractive. However, the possibility of ALC systems being deployed in the future should not be neglected. + +It is possible that an ALC device may include in-built echo cancellation, in which case the stability issue becomes as discussed in 7.1.2, "Networks with echo control". + +If the ALC device does not incorporate echo cancellation, it is recommended that the maximum gain that the ALC system is permitted to introduce in a network without echo control is restricted to satisfy the requirements of [ITU-T G.122]. For some national networks, this implies that the network operator should ensure that the maximum gain introduced by an ALC device does not exceed 0 dB. This is likely to be the case where Administrations already compensate for the loss of long local lines by reducing the R and T pad losses1. + +### 7.1.2 Networks with echo control + +International connections and the national networks of large countries usually employ echo control devices to reduce the level of reflected echo signals. In the following discussion on ALC device gain and stability, it is assumed that the ALC device is installed at a point in the transmission path after an echo control device (i.e., not within the echo path). It is further assumed that the echo control device is an echo canceller, [ITU-T G.165] and [ITU-T G.168]. + +It must not be assumed that the arguments presented below hold true if the echo control device is an echo suppressor, since these devices provide a much lower value of echo attenuation during double-talk situations. In certain conditions of send and receive levels defined in [ITU-T G.164], there may be no echo attenuation provided by a suppressor. Therefore, it is recommended that networks with echo suppressors should be regarded as providing no additional margin against instability. Accordingly, the recommended maximum ALC device gain is as discussed in 7.1.1, "Networks without pre-existing echo control". + +An echo canceller, once fully converged, will greatly attenuate the reflected echo signal arriving at its send in port ( $S_{in}$ ). Since the stability of a closed loop is dependent on the sum of the gains and losses as seen by a signal circulating in that loop, the echo attenuation provided by an echo canceller can significantly increase the stability margin of the loop. Traditionally, however, loop stability is not dependent on the echo attenuation provided by an echo canceller. + +Loop stability may be considered for a connection with echo cancellation at both ends of the link, and a single ALC device installed in the echo-cancelled path in each direction of transmission. In this scenario, the maximum gain of an ALC device without causing instability could be made equal to the lowest value of echo attenuation across the telephone bandwidth achieved in practice by an echo canceller. However, due regard must be given to stability at the start of a call, before the echo canceller has converged. With this aspect in mind, it is advised that the ALC device should ideally be reset to unity gain at the start of a call. Other values of initial gain are permissible, but under no circumstances should this value exceed +4 dB. Furthermore, the ALC device gain should not increase at a rate of more than 10 dB/s. (Recognizing that some ALC devices implement step gain changes, the rate of change of gain should be taken to imply the maximum total increase in gain that + +--- + +1 The R pad represents the transmission loss between the 0 dBr point at the digital-to-analogue decoder and the 2-wire side of the 2-wire/4-wire terminating unit. Similarly, the T pad represents the transmission loss between the 2-wire side of the 2-wire/4-wire terminating unit and the 0 dBr point at the analogue-to-digital coder. + +can be induced in the device over a one-second interval, where this interval contains the first gain adjustments occurring after a device reset.) + +Taken together with the above recommendations regarding ALC device reset and rate of change of gain, it is recommended that the maximum gain of an ALC device in a connection with echo cancellation should not exceed +15 dB. + +## 7.2 Echo + +If suitable precautions are not taken, an ALC device may show an undesirable tendency to adjust its gain in response to the level of echo signals. This is particularly relevant if automatic level control is to be used on low delay circuits without echo cancellation; the gain may adjust in response to the reflected signal even though this signal is not heard as an echo. + +Practical ALC device designs may include a fixed or adaptive threshold level, below which a signal will not elicit a gain response from the device. When used in a connection with echo cancellation, such a design would probably be effective in preventing ALC gain changes in response to the level of the residual echo signal. In a connection without echo cancellation, other precautions would be necessary to prevent the ALC gain adjusting in response to echo signals. + +Other ALC device designs may not be based on level thresholds. Instead, these designs may use signal processing to discriminate between speech and non-speech signals. In this way, the ALC gain would be permitted to adjust to the level of a speech signal but not, for example, to noise. If no other precautions are taken, a design of this nature may show a strong tendency to adjust in response to echo signals, particularly if used in a connection without echo cancellation. + +From the above discussion, in a connection without echo cancellation, satisfactory ALC device performance in respect of echo will require a means of identifying the echo signals. This implies that an ALC device in such a connection would need to be connected to both the transmit path and the receive path. + +To verify satisfactory performance of an ALC device with respect to echo signals, one of the two tests described below should be conducted. "Test A" applies to an ALC device installed in a connection without echo control. "Test B" applies where an ALC device is used in a connection with echo control, (including the case where ALC is integrated with an echo canceller). + +### Test A (for connections without echo control) + +![Circuit configuration for 'Test A' – ALC echo robustness for connections without echo control.](c036e2540a94b31357ceb0002f0cacab_img.jpg) + +The diagram shows a circuit configuration. A signal enters at point B and passes through a block labeled 'Echo Path Delay'. From there, it goes to a block labeled 'ERL 6 dB'. The output of the ERL block goes into a summing junction (circle with a plus sign). Another signal enters at point A and goes into the same summing junction. The output of the summing junction goes to point C. An ALC block is positioned between the path from B and the path to C. A dashed line connects the path after the 'Echo Path Delay' block to the ALC block. The ALC block then connects to the path leading to point C. The diagram is labeled T1530240-98. + +Circuit configuration for 'Test A' – ALC echo robustness for connections without echo control. + +**Figure 2 – Circuit configuration for "Test A" – ALC echo robustness +for connections without echo control** + +- 1) Connect the ALC device into an emulation of part of a connection, including the anticipated worst-case echo path delay contributing to the signal arriving at the input port of the ALC device. A basic test-circuit configuration is shown in Figure 2. The echo return loss (ERL) value of 6 dB is chosen to represent worst-case echo conditions. + +- 2) Apply a test signal (on/off modulated if necessary; see clause 6) to point A of Figure 2, at a level of $-2 \text{ dBm}_0$ . This level is sufficiently high to ensure that the ALC device gain is driven to (or near) its minimum value. +- 3) Measure the level of the signal at point C of Figure 2, and from this derive the value of the ALC device gain. +- 4) Remove the test signal from point A. Apply a test signal to point B of Figure 2 at the specified or pre-set target level of the ALC device under test. Note that with some ALC devices, the target level may be different for different types of signals. +- 5) The test signal at point B should be frequently interrupted (or on/off modulated at approximately 0.5 Hz). After 2 minutes, recheck the ALC device gain by measuring the level of the signal at point C. The level of the signal at the input to the ALC device may be assumed to be 6 dB below the level of the test signal at point B. +The gain of the ALC device at this stage should be within 1 dB of the value noted in step 3. +- 6) Remove the test signal from point B. +- 7) Apply a test signal (on/off modulated if necessary; see clause 6) to point A at a level 8 dB below the target level of the ALC device. This will ensure that the ALC device progresses to unity gain (or above if the ALC device is permitted to introduce gain). +- 8) Repeat step 3. +- 9) Remove the test signal from point A. Apply a test signal to point B at a level of $-2 \text{ dBm}_0$ . +- 10) Repeat step 5. The measured gain should be within 1 dB of that noted in step 8. +- 11) If the ALC device gain change noted in steps 5 or 10 is more than 1 dB, the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. + +### **Test B (for connections with echo control)** + +The following test procedure should be used when it is intended that an ALC device will be used in a network with echo control (echo suppressors or echo cancellers), including the case where an ALC device is integrated with an echo canceller. The test procedure is valid whether the ALC device is installed in the send path of a connection [test circuit illustrated in Figure 3 a)] or the receive path [test circuit shown in Figure 3 b)]. However, in either case, the ALC device under test must be the only ALC device active. If it is unavoidable that other ALC devices are present in the test set-up [e.g., ALC devices integrated into the echo control device of Figures 3 a) or 3 b)], other than the ALC device under test], then these ALC devices must be disabled for the purposes of the test. + +![Figure 3 a) Circuit configuration for 'Test B' - ALC installed in the send path of a connection with echo control.

It is, in any case, difficult to measure the gain of an ALC device when the level of the echo signal at its input is drastically reduced by an echo control device. The following procedure attempts to circumvent these problems by confining observations to those of ALC device output level when passing a signal not attenuated by the echo control device. + +NOTE – If the echo control device is an echo canceller, it should first be fully converged by applying a noise signal at point B (see clause 7). + +- 1) Connect the ALC device into an emulation of part of a connection, including the echo path contributing to the signal arriving at the input port of the ALC device. A basic test-circuit configuration is shown in Figure 3 a) for an ALC device installed in the send path of a connection, and in Figure 3 b) for ALC installed in the receive path. The test points referred to below are marked A, B and C in these figures. The echo return loss (ERL) value of 6 dB is chosen to represent worst-case echo conditions. +- 2) Apply a test signal (on/off modulated if necessary; see clause 6) to point A of the test circuit, at a level of $-2$ dBm0. This level is sufficiently high to ensure that the ALC device gain is driven to (or near) its minimum value. +- 3) Establish a real-time analogue display (e.g., using an oscilloscope) of the signal at point C of the test circuit, and note the magnitude of the displayed signal. (Other means of recording the level of the signal may be used, but the chosen method must also be applicable to step 5.) + +- 4) Remove the test signal from point A, and apply it to point B at the same level. The test signal at point B should be frequently interrupted (or on/off modulated at approximately 0.5 Hz). +- 5) After 1 minute, remove the test signal from point B, and re-apply it to point A. At the instant the signal arrives at point C, make an immediate note of the magnitude of the displayed signal at point C, or make a level measurement within 100 ms. (The method of level measurement should be the same as that used in step 3.) The purpose is to check whether the ALC device gain changed at all during step 4. +- 6) If the magnitude noted in step 5 exceeds that noted in step 3 by more than 12%, (or the level measurement is greater by more than 1 dB), the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. + +## 7.3 Noise tolerance + +Automatic level control systems are designed to adjust speech signals towards an optimum level. During speech pauses there may be an undesirable tendency for the gain to adjust in response to the level of background noise. Therefore, tests should be made to show that the level control is robust to the worst signal-to-background noise ratio anticipated on the network. + +The background noise will consist of a combination of environmental noise picked up by the handset microphone, and electrical circuit noise, the latter being particularly relevant when analogue circuits form part of the connection. These two noise sources are likely to exhibit very different characteristics. Electrical circuit noise tends to be broadband in nature, and reasonably constant in level when averaged over periods greater than a few hundred milliseconds. The nature of environmental noise obviously depends on the environment, but it may often be fluctuating in level and have spectral characteristics that are similar to speech. Indeed, the noise may often contain speech picked up from other conversations taking place near the telephone. In the mobile environment, vehicle noise is a major contributor, and noise levels can be very high. + +An ALC device designed for use in telecommunication networks must incorporate measures to discriminate between the wanted signal and noise. From the previous paragraph, it is clear that environmental noise is likely to represent more of a problem to an ALC device than electrical circuit noise. In recognition of this fact, three separate tests are presented below. "Test A" is primarily designed to check the robustness of the ALC device to electrical circuit noise. Tests "B" and "C" provide some measure of assurance with respect to different types of background noise by testing against environmental noise as defined in clause 6.3 above in "Test B" and testing against some real environmental noise captures in "Test C". These are minimum performance requirements, and it is hoped that manufacturers can devise techniques to give a higher standard of performance. + +### Test A (robustness to circuit noise) + +- 1) Connect the ALC device (or the equipment containing the ALC device) into an appropriate test circuit, such that test signals can be applied to the input of the device, and the level of the input and output signals can be monitored. [The circuit used for the echo test (Figure 2, Figures 3 a) or 3 b) as appropriate) may be used if desired, but no signal should be connected to point B, and the ERL should be set to infinity.] +- 2) Apply a test signal (on/off modulated if necessary; see clause 6) to the input of the ALC device (or equipment containing the device), at a level of $-5$ dBm0. This level is sufficiently high to ensure that the ALC device gain is driven to (or near) its minimum value. +- 3) Measure the level of the signal at the output of the ALC device, and from this derive the value of the ALC device gain. +- 4) Replace the test signal at the input of the ALC device with a continuous white Gaussian noise signal (band limited 0-3.4 kHz) at a level of $-40$ dBm0. + +- 5) After at least 10 seconds, recheck the ALC device gain by measuring the level of the noise signal at the device output. +- 6) Allowing for measurement inaccuracies, the gain of the ALC device at step 5 should be within 1 dB of the value noted in step 3. If the gain has increased significantly relative to the value noted in step 3, the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. + +### **Test B (robustness to environmental noise)** + +This test is similar to Test A, but the nature of the noise signal has been changed. The adopted noise test signal reflects the fact that environmental noise may be difficult for an ALC device to reject. + +The noise test signal used in the test should consist of a white Gaussian noise signal, band limited to the frequency range 0-800 Hz, and continuously on/off modulated at the rate 1 second on/1 second off. References to the level of the noise test signal relate to the level of the "on" portion of the signal, equivalent to the mean power of the unmodulated signal. The following steps 1 through 5 should be repeated for 4 different noise levels (when unmodulated) of $-28\text{ dBm0}$ , $-23\text{ dBm0}$ , $-18\text{ dBm0}$ and $-13\text{ dBm0}$ . + +- 1) Connect the ALC device (or the equipment containing the ALC device) into an appropriate test circuit, such that test signals can be applied to the input of the device, and the level of the input and output signals can be monitored. [The circuit used for the echo test (Figure 2, Figures 3 a) or 3 b) as appropriate) may be used if desired, but no signal should be connected to point B, and the ERL should be set to infinity.] +- 2) Apply a test signal (on/off modulated if necessary; see clause 6) to the input of the ALC device (or equipment containing the device), at a level of $-5\text{ dBm0}$ . This level is sufficiently high to ensure that the ALC device gain is driven to (or near) its minimum value. +- 3) Measure the level of the signal at the output of the ALC device, and from this derive the value of the ALC device gain. +- 4) Replace the test signal at the input of the ALC device with a noise test signal, as defined above. +- 5) After at least 20 seconds, recheck the ALC device gain by measuring the level (when unmodulated) of the noise test signal at the device output. +- 6) Allowing for measurement inaccuracies, the gain of the ALC device at step 5 should be within 1 dB of the value noted in step 3. If the gain has increased significantly relative to the value noted in step 3, the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. + +### **Test C (robustness to white Gaussian noise and real environmental noise – car, street and babble)** + +The noise test signals in this test consist of car, street and babble noise files in addition to white Gaussian noise of 24 s duration. Each sample should be about 8 seconds long. The noise is not modulated like it is in Test 7.3B but is repeated three times to get a total duration of 24 seconds. Examples of industry-accepted noise files that are suitable for this test are given in [b-AURORA]. The following steps 1 through 5 should be repeated for every one of twelve combinations of noise type and level. The noise types as described above are white, car, street and babble. The noise levels as in test 7.2B would be $-28\text{ dBm0}$ , $-23\text{ dBm0}$ , $-18\text{ dBm0}$ and $-13\text{ dBm0}$ . + +- 1) Connect the ALC device (or the equipment containing the ALC device) into an appropriate test circuit, such that test signals can be applied to the input of the device, and the level of the input and output signals can be monitored. +- 2) Apply a test signal (on/off modulated if necessary; see clause 6) to A (Figure 2), the input of the ALC device (or equipment containing the device), at a level of $-5\text{ dBm0}$ . This level + +is sufficiently high to ensure that the ALC device gain is driven to (or near) its minimum value. + +- 3) Measure the level of the signal at the output of the ALC device, and from this derive the value of the ALC device gain. +- 4) Replace the test signal at the input of the ALC device with a combination of noise test signal and level, as defined above. +- 5) After 24 seconds, repeat the noise file one final time to check the ALC device gain by measuring the level of the noise test signal for the entire 8 seconds at the device output. +- 6) Allowing for measurement inaccuracies, the gain of the ALC device at step 5 should be within 1 dB of the value noted in step 3. If the gain has increased significantly relative to the value noted in step 3, the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. + +## 7.4 Signalling tones + +An ALC system must not interfere with the correct operation of signalling tones used in the network. In the case of tones used to set up a connection, the level control could, for example, be disabled (held at unity gain) until the link is established. For DTMF signals, it will be necessary to test that the level control does not affect the reliability of their detection. + +### 7.4.1 DTMF tests + +A typical ALC device is unlikely to differentiate between speech signals and DTMF signals; therefore, it is possible that gain adjustments will occur during the transmission of DTMF signalling. The accuracy of DTMF detection may depend not only on the ALC device, but also on the particular DTMF detector. + +#### Method 1 + +It is assumed that an ALC device operates on DTMF tones, where $-23 \text{ dBm0} \leq \text{target level} \leq -5 \text{ dBm0}$ . With this stipulation, DTMF detectors, in general, may be tolerant of the gain changes introduced by an ALC device, provided that the rate of change of gain during transmission of a tone is sufficiently slow. A suitable test for maximum rate of change of gain is outlined below, and the test circuit is shown in Figure 4. + +NOTE 1 – The test describes uses hardware detection and measuring equipment applied to the analogue signal. However, an equivalent software test applied to the digital signal is equally valid. + +![Circuit configuration for measuring rate of change of ALC device gain.

The following test is not valid in these situations. However, if step gain changes are only permitted during pauses in the transmitted signal, or at the very start of a signal burst, it may be assumed that this type of gain behaviour will not affect the accuracy of DTMF detection. + +- 1) Connect external threshold-level detection logic to the output of the ALC device. This logic should be configured to control the start and stop of an elapsed-time counter. For an increasing signal level at the output of the ALC device, the timer should start when the level is somewhere between $-4$ dBm0 and $-2$ dBm0. For a decreasing signal level, the timer should stop when the level reaches precisely $-4$ dBm0. +- 2) Apply a 1004 Hz test tone to the input of the ALC device at the specified or pre-set target level. Note that with some ALC devices, the target level may be different for different types of signals. Allow time for the ALC device gain to settle to unity. (For certain ALC devices, it may be necessary to disconnect and reconnect the test tone a few times to ensure that the gain settles to unity). +- 3) Confirm that the ALC device is at unity gain by monitoring input and output levels to the device. +- 4) Instantaneously increase the level of the input signal to the ALC device to $-1$ dBm0, which should automatically trigger the start of the elapsed-time counter. +- 5) The elapsed-time counter should stop automatically when the output signal level from the ALC device has fallen from $-1$ dBm0 to $-4$ dBm0, i.e., the ALC device gain has fallen by 3 dB. From this, the rate of change of gain may be derived, and expressed in dB/s. The derived value will approximate to the maximum rate of change of gain for the ALC device. +- 6) The ALC device should be considered to have passed the test if the derived rate of change of gain is less than 10 dB/s. + +#### Method 2 + +The following test procedure should be followed if test method 1 is inappropriate for a particular ALC device, or if the device fails test method 1, or the results are inconclusive. + +In any test to check DTMF detection accuracy in a connection with an ALC device, the choice of DTMF detector may influence the percentage of detection failures. To circumvent this problem, the following test is based on a comparison of DTMF detection performance with and without the ALC device in-circuit. It is therefore unnecessary to specify a standard DTMF detector for the test. + +The test requires a means of inputting a sequence of DTMF characters to the test circuit (e.g., sequence stored on digital audio tape, or PC file). A suitable DTMF detector (which may be PC-based for convenience) is also required, together with a means of recording the percentage of character detection failures in the replayed DTMF test sequence. A noise source is needed for the second phase of the tests, and the basic test configuration is shown in Figure 5. + +The DTMF test sequence should consist of 256 different DTMF signals, arranged as 16 sets of the 16 DTMF characters (0..9,#,\*,A,B,C,D). Each set has the frequency offset specified in Table 1. The replayed levels of the discrete frequencies making up the tone pairs should be as specified in Table 1. Each DTMF character should have a duration of 50 ms, with an interval between characters of 100 ms. The interval between each set should be 1 second, and the 16 sets of DTMF characters should be replayed as a continuous sequence of 256 characters. + +**Table 1 – DTMF test sequences** + +| Set No. | Freq. offset (%) | Freq. offset (%) | Level (dBm0) | Level (dBm0) | +|---------|------------------|------------------|--------------|--------------| +| | (low freq.) | (high freq.) | (low freq.) | (high freq.) | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +| 2 | 0 | 0 | -18 | -18 | +| 3 | 1.5 | 1.5 | -10 | -10 | +| 4 | -1.5 | -1.5 | -10 | -10 | +| 5 | 0 | 0 | -12 | -18 | +| 6 | 0 | 0 | -14 | -10 | +| 7 | 1.5 | 1.5 | -14 | -20 | +| 8 | -1.5 | 1.5 | -14 | -20 | +| 9 | 1.5 | -1.5 | -6 | -12 | +| 10 | -1.5 | -1.5 | -6 | -12 | +| 11 | 0 | 0 | -12 | -18 | +| 12 | 0 | 0 | -14 | -10 | +| 13 | 1.5 | 1.5 | -10 | -6 | +| 14 | -1.5 | 1.5 | -10 | -6 | +| 15 | 1.5 | -1.5 | -18 | -14 | +| 16 | -1.5 | -1.5 | -18 | -14 | + +Annex A of [ITU-T Q.24] indicates that some Administrations require DTMF receivers to tolerate power levels per frequency up to 0 dBm. + +![Figure 5: Circuit configuration to check the effect of ALC device on DTMF detection performance.

Repeat steps 1 to 3. +- 8) If the preceding steps indicate that the ALC device does not cause a problem for DTMF transmission, as final confirmation of this conclusion, repeat all of the above with the DTMF test sequence attenuated by 6 dB at the input to the ALC device. + +## 7.5 Voiceband data and facsimile transmission + +An ALC system designed to enhance speech transmission must not degrade other telecommunications services such as voiceband data and fax. An ALC device should therefore be designed to automatically disable upon detection of the 2100 Hz tone (with or without associated phase reversals or amplitude modulation) that precedes ITU-T V-series modem communications. A suitable disabler is described in 7.5.1. For ALC devices operating in the forward direction of a voiceband data or fax transmission, recognition of 2100 Hz tone implies that the device should be connected to both the go and return paths. The tone disabler of an ALC device should therefore be designed to operate on tones that are present in either direction of transmission. + +For the purpose of disabling ALC devices, consideration may also be given to more sophisticated methods of detecting voiceband data or facsimile transmissions. However, if implemented, such methods should be considered as additional to the basic requirements of the tone disabler specified in 7.5.1. + +A disabled device should provide bit-sequence integrity for the full duration of the voiceband data or fax call. In the case of the latter, it is important that the ALC device should remain disabled throughout the transmission of a multi-page document, i.e., there should be no tendency for the ALC device to re-enable during page breaks or other pauses in the fax transmission. + +In recognition of the fact that a small proportion of voiceband data and fax calls may not be preceded by 2100 Hz answer tone, it is additionally recommended that an enabled ALC device should not degrade these transmissions under normal network conditions; extremes of signal level and circuit noise may be excluded from the verification tests, provided the requirements for 2100 Hz disabling have been fully met. + +### 7.5.1 Disabler characteristics + +This subclause deals with the specification of an ALC device disabler that is activated on reception of 2100 Hz answer tone. The objectives for a disabler are that the ALC device should be disabled throughout the full duration of fax and data transmissions. + +The requirements for an ALC device tone disabler are the same, in many respects, as the requirements for echo suppressor and echo canceller tone disableers. The principal differences between echo suppressor and echo canceller tone disableers are briefly reviewed in the next paragraph. + +The required characteristics for an echo suppressor tone disabler are presented in [ITU-T G.164]. The required characteristics for an echo canceller tone disabler are presented in [ITU-T G.165] and also in [ITU-T G.168]. To disable an echo canceller, the ITU-T G.165 or ITU-T G.168 tone disabler must detect a 2100 Hz tone with periodic phase reversals (as specified in [ITU-T V.25]). The ITU-T G.164 tone disabler will implement disabling on detection of a 2100 Hz tone, with or without phase reversals. In other respects, the required characteristics of the two types of echo control device tone disabler are very similar. The ITU-T G.165 or ITU-T G.168 disabler has an + +additional requirement that it should not operate falsely on data signals; (this requirement is inappropriate for an ALC device tone disabler). Also, compared with the ITU-T G.164 disabler, the need to detect phase reversals of the 2100 Hz tone has led to an increase in the maximum time allowed for the ITU-T G.165 or ITU-T G.168 disabler to operate in response to the disabling tone. + +Once activated, the conditions for release from the disable state are the same for both the ITU-T G.164 and ITU-T G.165 or ITU-T G.168 specifications. Release is based on the signal level in both directions of transmission falling below a threshold level for more than a specified time period (the 'release time'). The specified release time is $250 \pm 150$ ms; the lower limit is chosen to prevent unwanted release for short signal drop-outs, and the upper limit is to minimize the impairment if the disabler is accidentally activated by speech. + +An ALC device tone disabler is required to disable the device for all fax and data calls. The tone disabler must therefore respond to 2100 Hz tone, with or without phase reversals. The ITU-T G.164 tone disabler is suitable in this respect, whereas the ITU-T G.165 or ITU-T G.168 disabler is not. An ALC device tone disabler should also respond to 2100 Hz tone with amplitude modulation (as defined in [ITU-T V.8]). + +An important requirement for an ALC device disabler is that it should keep the device disabled throughout the full duration of fax and data transmissions. The release time specified for the echo control disable is insufficient to achieve this, since there would be a strong tendency for the ALC device to become re-enabled during pauses in a fax transmission (e.g., page breaks). To satisfy the requirement to maintain the disabled state throughout a fax transmission, the minimum release time for an ALC device tone disabler is recommended to be 3450 ms2. However, a long release time is undesirable in the event that the disabler is accidentally activated by speech; therefore, the release time should not be permitted to greatly exceed the minimum value. The recommended maximum release time is 3500 ms. + +Concerning the possibility of an ALC device disabler being accidentally activated by speech, it is more important to ensure that this is a rare event than it is to re-enable the device quickly if such an unwanted event occurs. This is because the initial unwanted gain reset will be the primary cause of subjective impairment due to the probable step gain change that occurs, whereas the persistence of the disabled state is merely the continuance of the unity gain state. When the ALC device eventually re-enables, a gradual progression will ensue back to a gain value more suited to the actual speech level. With this in mind, designers of tone disableers for ALC devices may wish to maximise the 'operate time' for the disabler, since a longer operate time gives improved immunity to false operation by speech. However, as the disabler is required to activate for all fax and data calls, the operate time must be less than the minimum anticipated duration of answer tone. The duration of answer tone in various scenarios is specified in [ITU-T V.25], and examination of ITU-T V.25 indicates that an appropriate maximum value for the operate time of an ALC device tone disabler would be 400 ms, as adopted for the ITU-T G.164 tone disabler. It is therefore recommended that ALC device tone disableers adopt the operate time specification of the ITU-T G.164 tone disabler, i.e., $300 \pm 100$ ms. + +In summary, an ALC device tone disabler should have the characteristics of either a ITU-T G.164 or a ITU-T G.165 or ITU-T G.168 tone disabler, modified where necessary to ensure the following: + +- Disabling should occur in response to 2100 Hz tone, with or without phase reversals (as specified in [ITU-T V.25]), and with or without amplitude modulation (as defined in [ITU-T V.8]). +- Operate time = 200 ms minimum + +--- + +2 Recommendation T.30 shows that silence periods of $3\text{ s} \pm 15\%$ are permitted following establishment of a fax call, and the same interval is permitted following a 'repeat' request. In practice, there are various situations that may result in a long pause. + +- | | | | +|---|----------------|-----------------| +| | 400 ms | maximum | +| • | Release time = | 3450 ms minimum | +| | 3500 ms | maximum | + +NOTE – The release time specified above is necessary, only if the tone disabler re-enables the ALC device solely on detecting the absence of signal energy. If the tone disabler re-enables based on other criteria, then the release time specified above does not apply. Tests for proper operation are for further study. + +### 7.5.2 Tests to confirm satisfactory voiceband data and fax performance when an ALC device is not disabled by 2100 Hz + +The following tests are considered necessary, since a small percentage of fax or voiceband data calls may not be preceded by 2100 Hz answer tone, and therefore, the ALC device may remain enabled during these calls. The tests are based on a direct comparison of performance with and without the ALC device enabled. + +Separate tests should be conducted for voiceband data and facsimile transmissions, although the basic test procedure is the same in both cases. To facilitate the tests, it is recommended that specialized, proprietary voiceband data or fax test equipment is used, but other arrangements capable of making the required observations are acceptable. + +For voiceband data tests, the test equipment should be configured to operate in automatic answer mode, conforming to the requirements of [ITU-T V.25]. + +For facsimile tests, the test equipment should be configured to follow the procedures defined in [ITU-T T.30], and with the following ITU-T T.30 options selected: + +- automatic operation at both the calling and the called stations; +- calling station transmits to called station, (operating method 4-T in [ITU-T T.30]); +- binary coded signalling at 300 bit/s to be used (rather than tonal signalling); +- the standard time-outs for binary coded signalling should apply; +- the optional error correction mode defined in Annex A of [ITU-T T.4] (and the associated procedures described in Annex A of [ITU-T T.30]) should not be used. + +For designers of fully-automated ITU-T G.169 test equipment, it is recognized that adherence to all aspects of ITU-T T.30 call control may be unnecessarily restrictive. For such designs, the requirement to follow ITU-T T.30 procedures may be relaxed, but the principle of comparing fax transmission performance with and without the ALC device must remain the basis of the test. + +The ALC device must be tested under conditions that reflect the type of connection in which it is to be used. The test circuit should emulate the principle features of a connection, including delays appropriate to the type of connection (e.g., international, via satellite). The echo return loss (ERL) should be 6 dB or better, for both directions of transmission. The ALC device should be installed at the intended point within the emulated connection, and should be located in the calling station to called station direction. For fax, this should represent the direction of facsimile transmission adopted for the tests. For voiceband data, this represents the direction in which error rate performance should be monitored. + +In the following test procedures, references to transmit level relate to the level in the calling station to called station direction. The transmit level should be set up by an appropriate combination of the level from the test equipment, and the losses in the emulated connection; both these controlling factors may be varied within realistic operational limits to achieve the specified transmit level. The level in the opposite direction of transmission is not specified, but should be that which results naturally from the emulated connection (configured to achieve the specified transmit level), and an operationally realistic level from the test equipment representing the called station. An additional constraint on the emulation is that the receive level at both the calling and called stations should be high enough to allow reliable operation of the fax or voiceband data test equipment. (Typically, a minimum receive level of $-40$ dBm would be adequate.) + +#### Test procedure + +As the ALC device will disable in response to 2100 Hz answer tone, for comparison purposes, a method must be found to prevent this happening for some of the fax and voiceband data transmissions. The ALC device may include a facility to force it to ignore 2100 Hz answer tone; if not, it will be necessary to eliminate 2100 Hz answer tone from the test transmissions, and set the ALC device to the required enabled or disabled state prior to each transmission. If there are echo cancellers in the test circuit, it will also be necessary to ensure that these are in the desired state for the test transmissions. + +NOTE – If it is necessary to eliminate answer tone, this represents a modification to the ITU-T V.25 or ITU-T T.30 requirements for an automatic answer configuration. + +- 1) Connect proprietary voiceband data, or fax test equipment (as appropriate) to the test circuit. Since high-speed communications are more sensitive to impairments than low-speed communications, the test equipment should be configured to attempt to communicate at the highest data rate in common use in the network. +- 2) Make appropriate arrangements to ensure that the ALC device will be disabled (set to fixed unity gain) during a fax or data transmission. (If the ALC device does not have a disable facility, it may be necessary to temporarily replace it with a direct connection.) +- 3) At a chosen transmit level, make a fax or data transmission over the connection using a reference data file. In the case of voiceband data transmissions, it should be arranged that the data transfer takes at least 20 seconds at the selected communication rate. For fax transmission, the transferred data should comprise at least a 3-page fax, since page breaks may influence the operation of the ALC device. +- 4) Observe whether any fall-back in transmitted data rate occurred relative to the selected maximum rate, and whether any other disruption occurred to the normal sequence of events to establish communications. +- 5) Note the result of an appropriate measure or indication of the received data errors. +- 6) Make appropriate arrangements to ensure that the ALC device will not be disabled by 2100 Hz answer tone at the start of a fax or voiceband data transmission. +- 7) Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5, noting any significant differences in performance or behaviour relative to that obtained previously. +- 8) Repeat steps 2 to 7 a number of times, for different transmit levels in step 3. The transmit level should be varied over the range $-8$ dBm $_0$ to $-22$ dBm $_0$ 3. + +--- + +3 Measurements show that about 8% of UK international receive fax levels lie outside this range. Assuming that up to 5% of fax calls are not preceded by a suitable ALC device disabling tone, this test will ensure that at least 99.6% of fax calls are not degraded by the ALC device. + +- 9) If, at any of the transmit levels tested, the performance with the ALC device enabled is appreciably worse than with the device disabled, the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. In particular, any fall-back in transmitted data rate caused by the ALC device is unacceptable. + +## 7.6 Test to verify the ability of an ALC to estimate the signal level correctly + +ALCs are used to normalize long term speech levels and it is important to verify that the device is correctly able to estimate speech levels so that it is not deviating too much from the desired target level. For example, if an ALC uses a noise floor method to discriminate between speech and noise, then it is quite possible for the ALC to miss too many low energy speech frames causing it to over-estimate the signal level and erroneously attenuate the signal. In this proposed new test, the ability of the ALC to correctly estimate the level of speech, even in the presence of noise, will be tested. The test should be repeated for a range of different signal levels and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). + +In this test, we are testing the ability of ALC to correctly estimate the level of speech even in the presence of noise. This also tests the ability of ALC to bring the signal to the target level correctly. + +The test signals should consist of ITU recommended clean speech files each consisting of two utterances. The same clean utterances will be used to measure the gain applied by ALC. The test signals would be mixed with additive white Gaussian noise at different levels to create signals of required SNR. The clean speech signals would be first normalized using [ITU-T P.56] to a level of $-20$ dBm0. This normalized signal is used to generate test signals of required levels by appropriately scaling the normalized signal of $-20$ dBm0. The test is repeated for levels of $-24$ dBm0, $-18$ dBm0 and $-12$ dBm0 and also for SNRs of $\infty$ dB, 20 dB, 15 dB and 10 dB giving rise to a total of 12 test cases. + +- 1) Connect the ALC device (or the equipment containing the ALC device) into an appropriate test circuit, such that the test signals can be applied to the input of the device, and the level of the input and output signals can be monitored. +- 2) For every signal level chosen, set the target level on ALC to be at least 4 dB more than the input signal level. +- 3) Apply the test signal of appropriate SNR consisting of the sequence of 3 ITU files (a total of 6 utterances) to A (Figure 2), the input of the ALC device (or equipment containing the device). The test signal would last a period of 24 seconds. This would give the device sufficient time to estimate the signal level and apply the appropriate gain. +- 4) Replace the test signal at the input of the ALC device with the clean speech version of the test signal of 8-second duration of the same level. +- 5) Measure the level of the output of ALC using [ITU-T P.56] for the signal applied in step 4. +- 6) Allowing for measurement inaccuracies, the level estimated in step 5 should be within 1 dB of the target level. If the difference is beyond these limits, then the ALC device should be considered to have failed the test. + +## **7.7 Test to verify the ability of an ALC to operate on short speech utterances (under study)** + +It is important to consider how an ALC takes into account short utterances of speech. If an ALC implements a long hangover to address the noise robustness tests, then the ALC will only use long bursts of speech to estimate speech levels and this can either bias the speech levels up or down or can delay the time before which the ALC becomes effective. Therefore, good designs ensure that short bursts of speech are taken into account for estimating long-term levels. However, this needs to be balanced against the possibility of an ALC incorrectly adapting to short words often muttered during a conversation. A definition of a short utterance is therefore required as a prerequisite to this test. + +# Annex A + +# Guidance for measuring signal levels in networks + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +Level measurements are necessary to check whether signal levels in a network are within an acceptable range. A large number of calls must be measured in order to obtain a statistically valid distribution of call levels. The distribution will show whether call levels are generally too high, too low, or have an unacceptably widespread. + +Speech signal levels are best measured with an instrument conforming to [ITU-T P.56], which specifies a method of measuring the rms level of a signal during periods when that signal is active. The restriction to active signal periods is particularly important for speech signals because there are silence intervals in the speech waveform that act to reduce the long term level. The ITU-T P.56 algorithm defines how to determine the level at which the speech signal is considered to be active (since this will vary with different talker levels and background noise) and calculates the rms value over the active periods only. Although an instrument conforming to [ITU-T P.56] is primarily aimed at the measurement of speech signal levels, it may also be used to measure the level of facsimile and voiceband data signals, signalling tones, etc. + +Some Administrations use automatic equipment (see [ITU-T P.561]) to make routine level measurements on their networks. Typically, such level measurements will either conform to the ITU-T P.56 method, or adopt similar active signal measurement principles. The use of proprietary, automatic equipment greatly reduces the labour needed to make a large number of measurements. However, in many situations – trouble-shooting, in particular – manual level measurements are still appropriate, due to their flexibility, ease of deployment and low equipment costs. The following paragraphs concentrate on a simple, manual measurement technique, since the procedures for the installation and use of proprietary, automatic equipment will be well-defined in the manufacturer's literature. + +Many ITU-T P.56 measuring instruments have analogue front-ends, and are therefore only capable of measuring signals that are in analogue format. Conversely, when performing signal level measurements within a network, it is best to extract the signal at a digital point (probably at the 2.048 Mbit/s or 1.544 Mbit/s multiplex level) since the relative level of a digital point within the network is clearly defined. Consequently, it is necessary to use proprietary equipment to extract the appropriate channel from a 2.048 Mbit/s or 1.544 Mbit/s stream, and convert the transmit and receive signals to analogue. The analogue signals may then be presented to the ITU-T P.56 measuring device. + +An example of how to measure speech signal levels within a network is given in Figure A.1. In this example, a proprietary signal monitor is connected to the transmit and receive points of a 2 Mbit/s digital monitor frame. The appropriate channel is selected, and the transmit and receive signals are converted to analogue by the monitoring equipment. The input impedance of the [ITU-T P.56] instruments is set to 600 ohms to ensure that the gain of the monitoring equipment is as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Typically, the gain of the monitoring equipment will be 0 dB; therefore, the relative level of the analogue measurement point will be equal to the relative level of the digital monitor point. The ITU-T P.56 instruments should be set to measure active level in dBm (600 ohms). + +NOTE 1 – In international networks, the signals are monitored on the international side of the echo canceller. This is so that echo signals do not influence the measurements taken. If no echo canceller is present, then care must be taken when interpreting the results. + +When taking measurements, the particular call should be monitored via headphones at the start to determine whether the call is speech or data. The measurement is then started by activating the + +ITU-T P.56 instrument, and after a suitable measurement period (suggest not less than 20 seconds) the measurement is stopped and the reading is noted. + +NOTE 2 – If the ITU-T P.56 device is controllable via a GPIB bus, the measurement process can be semi-automated if a separate PC is used as a controller. It is also possible that the ITU-T P.56 device itself is PC based, and may feature more than one measurement channel. Using such equipment, the measurement results can be logged automatically, but speech/data discrimination still has to take place. To preserve the simplicity of the measurement configuration, this latter aspect is probably best achieved by headphone monitoring, as before. + +![Diagram showing the setup for taking speech level measurements on a digital network.

Manufacturers of network signal processing equipment (e.g., echo cancellers) are developing automatic level control (ALC) algorithms as an option for network operators. This appendix discusses some of the issues relating to the design and operation of ALC algorithms and provides useful guidance for the designers of such algorithms and for network planners who are considering the introduction of ALC algorithms into the public switched telephone network (PSTN). + +## **I.2 Discussion** + +There are two basic reasons why the control of speech levels is important for telephony. The first is simply that people prefer speech to be at a comfortable level at which they are best able to understand it. Obviously, this 'preferred level' will vary from person to person, and will also be dependent to a certain extent on the level of background noise. Despite this, it is possible to select a listening level that is comfortable to the majority of people with normal hearing. + +The second reason why speech levels are important is one of equipment performance. Each active device, such as an amplifier or speech codec, will have a certain dynamic range over which it will function to specification; outside this range the performance may degrade rapidly, leading to noise and distortion of various types. For this reason, it is important to maintain speech levels within the dynamic range specified for the equipment. + +Traditionally, the strategy of the telecommunications providers has been to provide tight specifications for equipment and networks such that, for the large majority of calls, signal levels will lie within an acceptable range. Digitalization of the networks has assisted in this objective. However, customer expectations have increased, and other factors such as deregulation and competition have contributed to the difficulty of maintaining adequate control of levels. In recent times, international communications have increased dramatically, and the network operator has no direct control over the distant networks. The network operator must cope with increasing amounts of hands-free mobile telephony, and coupled with all these factors, there will always be a small percentage of very loud or very quiet talkers. + +In principle, the preferred listening level could be set by a volume control on the telephone instrument but, for historical reasons, few telephones are fitted with volume controls, even today. In any event, this would address only the listening level aspect, and would do nothing to ensure that network equipment is presented with the correct level. To assist in this latter respect, the level would need to be adjusted at an early point in the network. This suggests that some form of automatic level control (ALC) device should be installed at an appropriate point in the network, which would continuously monitor the transmitted level and adjust the gain accordingly. In other areas such techniques are far from new, used for example in the r.f. stages of radio receivers, and to control the microphone level in tape recorders. However, these processes have their limitations and drawbacks: a sound recording engineer will often reject ALC in favour of tried and trusted manual control! For the telephone network, the range of signals and services to be handled are wide, and it will be necessary to ensure that an ALC system does not sometimes degrade the performance for particular signals rather than enhance them. + +## **I.3 ALC considerations** + +Before new technology is introduced into the network, the telecommunications operator must ensure that it does not have an adverse effect on any aspect of the existing service. In this clause, the location of ALC is considered and a number of performance issues, objective and subjective, are raised. + +### **I.3.1 Location of ALC** + +If ALC is to be introduced, it should be installed at an early point in the transmission path so that all the subsequent network equipment can benefit from the level optimization. To derive maximum benefit, the ALC would need to be located at the earliest 4-wire point in the transmit path, so that level variation due to talker loudness, mouth-to-handset distance, telephone instrument variations, and local line loss are accommodated, and the ALC precedes all the active equipment in the 4-wire path. Ideally, the ALC would precede even the conversion to 64 kbit/s digital format, since it could then be designed to prevent peak-clipping of high level signals, and to minimize the deterioration in signal to quantization noise ratio resulting from the level adjustment. However, with regard to a rapid, large-scale upgrade, the cost implications of installing ALC at this location are likely to be prohibitive. Elsewhere in the national network, the provision of ALC alone is unlikely to be economically viable unless demands for advanced services and facilities lead to the widespread introduction of a general-purpose signal processing capability. + +The economics of providing ALC specifically for international circuits are more attractive, especially if use is made of existing signal processing equipment (e.g., echo cancellers) as a platform on which to implement ALC. The ALC equipment would be located in the transmit path at the international exchange; therefore, all active equipment in the international transmission path would benefit from the level control, but any in the preceding national part of the connection would not. + +### **I.3.2 Algorithmic and subjective considerations** + +With ALC installed after the conversion to 64 kbit/s digital format, as in the case of ALC at the international exchange, any clipping on a high level speech signal would remain even after the signal is attenuated by the ALC. This clipping distortion may even become subjectively more noticeable at the lower listening level. Also, any level adjustment will degrade the signal to quantization noise ratio to some extent, and this may tend to negate the subjective enhancement resulting from the level optimization. + +In the particular case of very low level speech signals for which the signal to quantization noise ratio is already reduced relative to a normal level signal due to the characteristics of A-law or $\mu$ -law PCM, the quantization noise may become subjectively more disturbing after the signal is amplified by the ALC. This situation is similar to the case of a quiet talker in a high background noise environment such as a noisy office, or noisy vehicle in the case of a mobile telephone. Amplification of the speech may make the background noise more objectionable. + +Considering another aspect of the high background noise situation, it is crucial that the ALC should not interpret this noise as speech and amplify the noise to the normal listening level for speech. Such behaviour would clearly be disastrous for the call, causing massive gain oscillations triggered separately by the speech and speech pauses. However, the very high noise levels that can occur in the mobile environment, the spectral characteristics and variability of this noise, make foolproof ALC operation difficult to guarantee. + +Another subjective question concerns the effect ALC has on the speech dynamics and the consequent effect on a conversation. For example, a person may convey anger, excitement, regret, etc., by appropriately raising or lowering the voice, but this level change could be totally cancelled out by the ALC. The ALC gain characteristic and the choice of time constant within the ALC must, therefore, be selected very carefully in order to minimize the subjective impact of this unwanted effect. If the time constant is too short, it could lead to the loss of emphasis on words and phrases, and could also result in a pulsing effect on the speech level due to the gain adjustment becoming out-of-step with the speech energy. A long time constant is therefore preferred, but this will extend the time to adapt to a change in level due, for example, to a change of talker, changing from a handset to a loudspeaking telephone, or the start of a new call. + +The time taken to adjust the gain at the start of a new call is particularly important, and the ALC algorithm must be proved satisfactory in this respect. If the previous call was very quiet, the ALC will have adapted to introduce perhaps its maximum gain. If the new call is, in contrast, very loud, the combination of high level and high gain will give the listener an unpleasant acoustic shock. The painfully high signal level will persist until the ALC has made the appropriate adjustment to the gain. If, on the other hand, a low level call follows a high level one, the combination of low level and high attenuation could render the first few seconds of speech virtually inaudible. The listener might even assume the call had failed, and hang up. + +The large gain error that could exist at the start of a new call suggests that some form of rapid or step gain adjustment should come into play when the need for this is detected. The detection strategy would require careful design to prevent unwanted step gain changes during normal conversation, since such effects would be highly objectionable. However, the requirements for a rapid but very reliable decision are in conflict. It would, for example, be particularly difficult to quickly detect the need for a step increase in gain since the decision must be based upon the detection of a low speech level, and this implies measurement over an appreciable time interval. A quick decision would be highly unreliable. + +On subjective issues, there is one final sacrifice the users must be prepared to accept if they are to benefit from the introduction of ALC. For a listener in a noisy environment, or perhaps slightly hard of hearing, there would be little or no benefit in asking the talker to speak up, since the ALC would quickly compensate if the speaker obliged! + +### **I.3.3 Equipment issues** + +It has already been mentioned that a low level, poor signal-to-noise ratio speech signal may be subjectively less acceptable after amplification by the ALC. Such a signal, once amplified, may also be problematic for digital circuit multiplication equipment (DCME). One of the processes of DCME is digital speech interpolation (DSI), and therefore a voice activity detector (VAD) is required to detect the presence of speech on the incoming trunks. If the VAD uses simple level thresholds (as for the VAD example given in [ITU-T G.763] for DCME), the amplified, poor signal-to-noise ratio signal may be misinterpreted as continuous speech activity, and so affect the achievable channel multiplication of the DCME. Thus, although the performance of network equipment would often be enhanced by the use of ALC, there are specific situations where it may be detrimental. + +The preceding text has concentrated on issues concerning the operation of ALC with speech signals. However, a significant proportion of traffic is attributable to voiceband data and facsimile calls. The nature of these signals varies depending on the particular modulation scheme, and signals may be continuous or interrupted as in the case of the acknowledgement signal in the return direction of a facsimile call. The optimum mean level for such signals may be different to that for speech. In addition, the network must faithfully transport signalling tones. The ALC algorithm and its time constants must be shown not to disturb or degrade any of these transmissions. Alternatively, the means must be provided to automatically disable the ALC when these signals are being transmitted. + +### **I.3.4 Echo** + +Since the ALC is installed in the 4-wire loop, unwanted echo signals will be present, primarily due to reflections at the 2-to-4-wire interface. The consequence of the ALC adjusting its gain for the echo signal would have a devastating effect on the call. Steps must therefore be taken to prevent the ALC adjusting to echo signals. In the international network, the ALC could be installed in the transmit path after the echo canceller, so reducing the likelihood of the ALC adjusting to any residual echo signal. If ALC is installed before the echo canceller (or in a link without echo cancellers), robustness to echo will require additional complexity in the ALC algorithm, and a need to monitor the level of the receive path signal as well as the transmit path. In the case of ALC in the tail path of an echo canceller, the performance of the canceller will be impaired unless its adaptation speed is at least as fast as that of the ALC. Perhaps the most elegant and cost effective solution to the provision of ALC without susceptibility to echo is to design the ALC as an integral part of the echo canceller. Adaptation speed considerations could be accommodated, and the ability to monitor both directions of transmission would be intrinsic. + +### **I.3.5 Loop stability** + +Regardless of whether the ALC is installed in the national or international network, it will be located within the 4-wire transmission loop. This means that the maximum gain the ALC can introduce must be limited in order to preserve loop stability. It will be necessary to confirm that loop stability is guaranteed even with the maximum ALC gain and the worst-case loop conditions. + +The loop stability issue raises an important question regarding the possibility of encountering cascaded ALC systems. If two cascaded ALC systems each put in their maximum gain, the loop stability criterion may be breached. Either network planners must ensure cascaded ALC systems are never encountered, or a facility must be provided to automatically disable all but the first ALC system in the link. + +It must not be overlooked that ALC could often be installed in both directions of transmission. Where there are transmit and receive ALC systems at the same end of the transmission link (e.g., within an echo canceller), it might be advantageous to restrict the receive ALC to an attenuation function, so that it cannot introduce gain. This would allow the transmit ALC to insert the maximum gain consistent with loop stability. However, this maximum gain value must be halved if there is a possibility that an ALC device will exist in the transmit path at the opposite end of the transmission link (i.e., a balanced ALC system, offering equal benefits to the two transmission directions). The essential consideration is the total gain introduced into the 4-wire loop. + +# Appendix II + +## Considerations relating to ALC deployment + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +## II.1 Location of ALC + +![Simplified diagram of transmission network showing possible locations of ALC devices.

The diagram is labeled T1530290-98. + +**Figure II.1 – Simplified diagram of transmission network showing possible locations of ALC devices** + +Figure II.1 illustrates the typical locations where ALC devices may be installed in a network. The diagram represents one end of a connection, and ALC devices may be installed in equivalent locations at the other end of the link. It is not intended to imply that it is desirable to have ALC devices at all of these locations. Indeed, the use of multiple ALC devices may cause stability problems (see 7.1), and ALC devices in cascade may lead to performance penalties for the level control function. + +In the case of the latter, these penalties arise because the rate of change of gain perceived by the listener will be increased if cascaded ALC devices are encountered, and gain overshoot effects may also occur. Also, if the first ALC device encountered introduces gain, the amplified circuit noise and background noise may then adversely affect the operation of subsequent ALC devices in the connection. Thus if an ALC device is installed in the send path of a connection, it is recommended that any ALC devices in the receive path at the other end of the link be disabled. + +In general, the earlier an ALC device occurs in a link, the greater the potential benefits are to the performance of network equipment. However, it may be economically advantageous to integrate the ALC device with an echo canceller [ITU-T G.165] and [ITU-T G.168]. Where choice permits, it is preferable to have an ALC device installed in the send path of a connection rather than in the receive path, since intermediate equipment may then benefit from the tighter control of levels. In principle, it is feasible to have an ALC device installed in the receive path, after the echo canceller. However, such a choice is unlikely, since the echo canceller itself would not then benefit from the level control. + +With due regard to the stability issues discussed in 7.1, it would be possible to use ALC devices in connections with echo suppressors (as opposed to echo cancellers). The performance tests described in the main text of this Recommendation should be made with the appropriate echo control device installed in the test circuit. + +Again with regard to the stability issues discussed in 7.1, and also with due regard to the echo performance of ALC devices discussed in 7.2, it would be possible to install an ALC device in the send direction of a national network. In many such networks, transmission delays are too short to justify the use of echo control devices for national calls. For reasons of stability, if the ALC device in the national network does not incorporate an in-built echo canceller, it may not be permitted to introduce as much gain as an ALC device in the international network (see 7.1, Stability). + +If an Administration chooses to install ALC devices in its national network, it raises the prospect of such an ALC device occurring in cascade with other ALC devices in the international network. Cascaded (tandemed) operation of ALC devices is undesirable for the reasons given above. + +Also, in an international connection, the ALC device in the national network may be in the tail-path of an echo canceller. This may affect the performance of the echo canceller because it introduces gain changes to the echo path. In the case of networks that use full echo cancellers, if the ALC device is not integrated into the design of the echo canceller, there is no alternative but to site the ALC device in a tail-path of the canceller. The use of ALC devices in networks incorporating full echo cancellers is for further study. + +## **II.2 Tandemed operation** + +There are significant issues relating to the tandemed operation of ALC devices.

interface signals of the optical transport network, in terms of: + +- OTN hierarchy +- functionality of the overhead in support of multi-wavelength optical networks +- frame structures +- bit rates +- formats for mapping client signals. + +Edition 6.0 of this Recommendation includes the text of Amendments 1, 2, 3, Corrigendum 1 and 2 to Edition 5.0 of this Recommendation, addition of 25 and 50 Gbit/s OTU, ODU and OPU frame formats and multiplexing of lower rate ODUk/flex signals into these two OPUs, extension of the supported ODUflex(IMP) bit rates to any rate, specification of frequency synchronous OTU and ODU and addition of a new appendix with examples of ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) clock generation methods. Edition 6.0 furthermore clarifies that the ODUflex(GFP) bit rate can be any rate and is not limited to the recommended bit rates, updates the OTN interface terminology, corrects the replacement signal definitions for some of the Ethernet client signals and restricts the FlexE aware sub-rate granularity to 25 Gbit/s. + +## History + +| Edition | Recommendation | Approval | Study Group | Unique ID* | +|---------|----------------------------------|------------|-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 1.0 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 | 2001-02-09 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/5350 | +| 1.1 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2001) Amd. 1 | 2001-11-29 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/5629 | +| 2.0 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 | 2003-03-16 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/6265 | +| 2.1 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2003) Amd. 1 | 2003-12-14 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/7060 | +| 2.2 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2003) Cor. 1 | 2006-12-14 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/8982 | +| 2.3 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2003) Amd. 2 | 2007-11-22 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/9155 | +| 2.4 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2003) Cor.2 | 2009-01-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/9646 | +| 2.5 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2003) Amd. 3 | 2009-04-22 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/9671 | +| 3.0 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 | 2009-12-22 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/10398 | +| 3.1 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2009) Cor. 1 | 2010-07-29 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/10875 | +| 3.2 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2009) Amd. 1 | 2010-07-29 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/10874 | +| 3.3 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2009) Amd. 2 | 2011-04-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/11115 | +| 4.0 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 | 2012-02-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/11485 | +| 4.1 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2012) Cor. 1 | 2012-10-29 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/11776 | +| 4.2 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2012) Amd. 1 | 2012-10-29 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/11774 | +| 4.3 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2012) Amd. 2 | 2013-10-22 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/11982 | +| 4.4 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2012) Amd. 3 | 2014-12-05 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/12363 | +| 4.5 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2012) Cor. 2 | 2015-01-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/12365 | +| 4.6 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2012) Amd. 4 | 2015-01-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/12364 | +| 5.0 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 | 2016-06-22 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/12789 | +| 5.1 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2016) Amd. 1 | 2016-11-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13080 | +| 5.2 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2016) Cor. 1 | 2017-08-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13298 | +| 5.3 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2016) Amd. 2 | 2018-06-06 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13520 | +| 5.4 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2016) Amd. 3 | 2019-03-22 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13742 | +| 5.5 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 (2016) Cor. 2 | 2019-11-06 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13995 | +| 6.0 | ITU-T G.709/Y.1331 | 2020-06-06 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/14199 | + +## Keywords + +Client mappings, frame formats, multiplexing, OTN. + +\* To access the Recommendation, type the URL in the address field of your web browser, followed by the Recommendation's unique ID.

OPUk, OPUCn, ODUk, ODUCn, OTUk and OTUCn. Examples for k are "1" for an approximate bit rate of 2.5 Gbit/s, "2" for an approximate bit rate of 10 Gbit/s, "3" for an approximate bit rate of 40 Gbit/s, and "4" for an approximate bit rate of 100 Gbit/s. When the "Cn" index is used the approximate bit rate is $n \times 100$ Gbit/s. For example for Cn = C4 the approximate bit rate is 400 Gbit/s. +- **x:** The index x gives the approximate bit rate for a CBR signal. It is used in the form "unit value, unit, [fractional unit value]". The currently defined unit value is "G" for Gbit/s. Examples for x are "40G" for 40 Gbit/s and "2G5" for 2.5 Gbit/s. +- **-P:** The suffix -P is used to identify the payload element of the signal. +- **-O:** The suffix -O is used to identify the non-associated overhead element of the signal. +- **ODUj:** When two different ODUk information structures are involved, ODUj is used to denote the lower rate ODUk information structure (e.g., for ODUk multiplexing). + +The functional architecture of the optical transport network as specified in [ITU-T G.872] is used to derive the ONNI. The ONNI is specified in terms of the adapted and characteristic information present in each layer as described in [ITU-T G.805]. + +**Transmission order:** The order of transmission of information in all the diagrams in this Recommendation is first from left to right and then from top to bottom. Within each byte the most significant bit is transmitted first. The most significant bit (bit 1) is illustrated at the left in all the diagrams. + +**Mapping order:** The serial bit stream of a constant bit rate signal is inserted into the OPU payload so that the bits will be transmitted on the OPU/ODU in the same order that they were received at the input of the AMP, BMP or GMP mapper function. If m bits $b_a, b_b, b_c$ up to $b_m$ are client signal bits of which $b_a$ is the bit that is received first and $b_m$ is the bit that is received last, then $b_a$ will be mapped into bit 1 of a first OPU byte and $b_m$ will be mapped into bit 8 of an $n^{\text{th}}$ OPU byte (with $n = m/8$ ). + +**Value of reserved bit(s):** The value of an overhead bit, which is reserved or reserved for future international standardization shall be set to "0". + +**Value of non-sourced bit(s):** Unless stated otherwise, any non-sourced bits shall be set to "0". + +**OTUk (k=1,2,3,4), OTUCn, OTU25, OTU50, ODUk (k=0,1,2,2e,3,4,flex,25,50), ODUCn, OPUk (k=0,1,2,2e,3,4,flex,25,50) and OPUCn overhead assignment:** The assignment of an overhead in the optical transport/data/payload unit signal to each part is defined in Figure 5-1. OTUk, OTU25, OTU50, ODUk, OPUk contain one instance of OTU, ODU, OPU overhead. OTUCn, ODUCn and OPUCn contain n instances of OTU, ODU, OPU overhead, numbered 1 to n. + +Interleaved versions of the OTU, ODU and OPU overhead may be present on OTUCn interfaces.

Both OTN interface types consist of one or more optical tributary signals. + +The OTN point-to-point interfaces are defined with 3R processing at each end of the interface (terminating the optical tributary signals) and do not provide for optical layer overhead. + +The OTN optical networking interfaces are defined with optical layer overhead and may not provide for 3R processing at each end of the interface, which allow optical tributary signals to be forwarded beyond the interface. + +These two types of OTN interfaces consist of digital and management information defined in this Recommendation as carried by a physical interface, the specifications of which are outside the scope of this Recommendation. + +Each OTN interface may be associated with one or more application identifiers. Each application identifier represents either a standardized application code or a vendor specific identifier. An interface with one or more application codes may be used to interconnect (OTN) equipment from different vendors.

FEC for the OTU25 and OTU50 signals are interface specific and not included in the OTU25 and OTU50 definition. +- The OTUCn signal consists of n interleaved 3824 columns by 4 row frames, which do not include a FEC area and is operated at n times a basic rate that is represented by OTUC. FEC for the OTUCn signal is interface specific and not included in the OTUCn definition. + +The OTUCn signal may be carried via a FlexO-x--m interface group with $m = \lceil n/x \rceil$ FlexO-x- interfaces; refer to [ITU-T G.709.1] and [ITU-T G.709.3]. + +The OTU25 and OTU50 signals are carried via OTU25-RS and OTU50-RS interfaces; refer to [ITU-T G.709.4]. + +The OTU contains an optical data unit (ODU), which contains an optical payload unit (OPU). The OTUk, OTU25, OTU50, OTUCn and ODUCn are digital section layers. The ODUk (and ODUj) is a path layer. + +The OTUk ( $k \in \{1,2,3,4,4\text{-SC}\text{\}}$ ) is fully standardized. There are two functionally standardized alternatives: OTUk-v and OTUkV.

PTP event messages are timestamped and after encapsulation into GFP-F frames inserted into the OSMC as specified in clause 15.7.2.4.1. GFP-F encapsulated SSM and eSSM messages (and PTP non-event messages) are inserted into the OSMC at the earliest opportunity. GFP Idle frames may be inserted between successive GFP frames. + +The mapping of generic framing procedure (GFP) frames is performed by aligning the byte structure of every GFP frame with the byte of the OSMC overhead field.

Furthermore, the time offset from the reference plane is likely to be different for inbound and outbound event messages. To meet the requirement of this subclause, the generated timestamps should be corrected for these offsets. Figure 19 in [b-IEEE 1588] illustrates these offsets. Based on this model, the appropriate corrections are as follows: + +$$\langle \text{egressTimestamp} \rangle = \langle \text{egressMeasuredTimestamp} \rangle + \text{egressLatency}$$ + +$$\langle \text{ingressTimestamp} \rangle = \langle \text{ingressMeasuredTimestamp} \rangle - \text{ingressLatency}$$ + +where the actual timestamps $\langle \text{egressTimestamp} \rangle$ and $\langle \text{ingressTimestamp} \rangle$ measured at the reference plane are computed from the detected, i.e., measured, timestamps by their respective latencies.

This signal is used to convey in the upstream direction the count of interleaved-bit blocks that have been detected as being in error by the corresponding ODU tandem connection monitoring sink using the BIP-8 code. It is also used to convey in the upstream direction an incoming alignment error (IAE) condition that is detected in the corresponding ODU tandem connection monitoring sink in the IAE overhead. + +During an IAE condition the code "1011" is inserted into the BEI/BIAE field and the error count is ignored. Otherwise the error count (0-8) is inserted into the BEI/BIAE field. The remaining six possible values represented by these four bits can only result from some unrelated condition and shall be interpreted as zero errors (see Table 15-4) and BIAE not active. + +The ODuk contains one instance of ODU TCM BEI/BIAE overhead.

The specific TCMi/DMi overhead field is provisioned by the network operator, network management system or switching control plane. + +At a domain interface, it is possible to provision the maximum number (0 to 6) of tandem connection levels which will be passed through the domain. The default is three. These tandem connections should use the lower TCMi/DMi overhead fields TCM1/DM1...TCMMAX/DMMAX. Overhead in TCM/DMt fields beyond the maximum (TCMmax+1/DMtmax+1 and above) may/will be overwritten in the domain. + +The TCM6 overhead field is assigned to monitor an ODUk connection which is supported by two or more concatenated ODUk link connections (supported by back-to-back OTUk trails). [ITU-T G.7714.1] specifies a discovery application which uses the TCM6 TTI SAPI field as discovery message channel. [ITU-T G.873.2] specifies an ODUk SRP-1 protection application which uses the TCM6 field to monitor the status/performance of the ODUk connection between two adjacent ODUk SRP-1 nodes. + +###### Example + +For the case of an ODUk leased circuit, the user may have been assigned one level of TCM, the service provider one level of TCM and each network operator (having a contract with the service provider) four levels of TCM. For the case where a network operator subcontracts part of its ODUk connection to another network operator, these four levels are to be split; e.g., two levels for the subcontracting operator. + +This would result in the following TCM OH allocation: + +- User: TCM1/DMt1 overhead field between the two user subnetworks, and TCM1/DMt1..TCM6/DMt6 within its own subnetwork; +- Service provider (SP): TCM2/DMt2 overhead field between two UNIs; +- Network operators NO1, NO2, NO3 having contract with service provider: TCM3/DMt3, TCM4/DMt4, TCM5/DMt5, TCM6/DMt6. Note that NO2 (which is subcontracting) cannot use TCM5/DMt5 and TCM6/DMt6 in the connection through the domain of NO4; +- NO4 (having subcontract with NO2): TCM5/DMt5, TCM6/DMt6. + +See Figure 15-24. + +![Figure 15-24: Example of TCM overhead field assignment.

The transition from 0→1 in the sequence ...0000011111..., or the transition from 1→0 in the sequence ...1111100000... represents the path delay measurement start point. The new value of the DMti signal is maintained until the start of the next delay measurement test. + +This DMti signal is inserted by the DMti originating TC-CMEP and sent to the far-end TC-CMEP. This far-end TC-CMEP loops back the DMti signal towards the originating TC-CMEP. The originating TC-CMEP measures the number of frame periods between the moment the DMti signal value is inverted and the moment this inverted DMti signal value is received back from the far-end TC-CMEP. The receiver should apply a persistency check on the received DMti signal to be tolerant for bit errors emulating the start of delay measurement indication. The additional frames that are used for such persistency checking should not be added to the delay frame count. The looping TC-CMEP should loop back each received DMti bit within approximately 100 µs. + +Refer to [ITU-T G.798] for the specific tandem connection delay measurement process specifications. + +NOTE 1 – Tandem connection delay measurements can be performed on-demand, to provide the momentary two-way transfer delay status, and pro-active, to provide 15-minute and 24-hour two-way transfer delay performance management snapshots. + +NOTE 2 – Equipment designed according to the 2008 or earlier versions of this Recommendation may not be capable of supporting this tandem connection delay monitoring. For such equipment, the DMti bit is a bit reserved for future international standardization. + +NOTE 3 – This process measures a round trip delay. The one way delay may not be half of the round trip delay in the case where the transmit and receive directions of the ODUk tandem connection are of unequal lengths (e.g., in networks deploying unidirectional protection switching). + +##### 15.8.2.2.9 ODU TCM reserved overhead (RES) + +For tandem connection monitoring, 12 bits in the TCMi overhead are reserved for future international standardization in TCMi OH #2 to #n.

These bytes are located in rows 1 to 3, columns 15 and 16 and column 16 row 4. In addition, 255 bytes in the PSI #1 and 256 byte in PSI #2 to #n are reserved for specific purposes. + +The use of these bytes depends on the specific client signal mapping (defined in clauses 17, 19 and 20) and use of hitless adjustment of ODUflex(GFP) (see [ITU-T G.7044]). + +## 16 Maintenance signals + +An alarm indication signal (AIS) is a signal sent downstream as an indication that an upstream defect has been detected. An AIS signal is generated in an adaptation sink function. An AIS signal is detected in a trail termination sink function to suppress defects or failures that would otherwise be detected as a consequence of the interruption of the transport of the original signal at an upstream point. + +A forward defect indication (FDI) is a signal sent downstream as an indication that an upstream defect has been detected. An FDI signal is generated in an adaptation sink function. An FDI signal is detected in a trail termination sink function to suppress defects or failures that would otherwise be detected as a consequence of the interruption of the transport of the original signal at an upstream point. + +NOTE – AIS and FDI are similar signals. AIS is used as the term when the signal is in the digital domain. FDI is used as the term when the signal is in the optical domain; FDI is transported as a non-associated overhead. + +An open connection indication (OCI) is a signal sent downstream as an indication that upstream the signal is not connected to a trail termination source. An OCI signal is generated in a connection function and output by this connection function on each of its output connection points, which are not connected to one of its input connection points. An OCI signal is detected in a trail termination sink function. + +A locked (LCK) is a signal sent downstream as an indication that upstream the connection is "locked", and no signal has passed through. + +A payload missing indication (PMI) is a signal sent downstream as an indication that upstream at the source point of the signal none of the frequency slots have an optical tributary signal. This indicates that the transport of the optical tributary signals is interrupted or no optical tributary signals are present. + +A PMI signal is generated in the trail termination source function and it is detected in the trail termination sink function which suppresses the LOS defect that arises under this condition. + +## **16.1 OTS maintenance signals** + +### **16.1.1 OTS payload missing indication (OTS-PMI)** + +OTS-PMI is generated as an indication that the OTS payload does not contain an optical signal. + +## **16.2 OMS maintenance signals** + +Three OMS maintenance signals are defined: OMS-FDI-P, OMS-FDI-O and OMS-PMI. + +### **16.2.1 OMS forward defect indication – Payload (OMS-FDI-P)** + +OMS-FDI-P is generated as an indication of an OMS server layer defect in the OTS network layer. + +### **16.2.2 OMS forward defect indication – Overhead (OMS-FDI-O)** + +OMS-FDI-O is generated as an indication when the transport of OMS OH via the OSC is interrupted due to a signal fail condition in the OSC. + +### **16.2.3 OMS payload missing indication (OMS-PMI)** + +OMS-PMI is generated as an indication when none of the frequency slots contain an optical tributary signal. + +## **16.3 OCh and OTSiA maintenance signals** + +Three OCh and OTSiA maintenance signals are defined: OCh-FDI-P, OCh-FDI-O, OCh-OCI and OTSiA-FDI-P, OTSiA-FDI-O, OTSiA-OCI. + +### **16.3.1 OCh and OTSiA forward defect indication – Payload (OCh-FDI-P, OTSiA-FDI-P)** + +OCh-FDI-P and OTSiA-FDI-P are generated as an indication for an OCh and OTSiA server layer defect in the OMS network layer. + +When the OTUk or OTUCn is terminated, the OCh-FDI-P and OTSiA\_FDI-P is continued as an ODUk-AIS signal. + +When the OTUCn is not terminated, the OCh-FDI-P and OTSiA\_FDI-P are continued as an OTUCn-AIS signal. + +OTSiA-FDI-O is generated as an indication when the transport of OTSiA OH via the OSC is interrupted due to a signal fail condition in the OSC. + +### 16.3.2 OCh and OTiSA forward defect indication – Overhead (OCh-FDI-O, OTSiA-FDI-O) + +OCh-FDI-O is generated as an indication when the transport of OCh OH via the OSC or OCC is interrupted due to a signal fail condition in the OSC or OCC. + +### 16.3.3 OCh and OTiSA open connection indication (OCh-OCI, OTSiA-OCI) + +The OCh-OCI/OTSiA-OCI signal indicates to downstream transport processing functions that the OCh/OTSiA connection is not bound to, or not connected (via a matrix connection) to a termination source function. The indication is used in order to distinguish downstream between a missing OCh/OTSiA signal due to a defect or due to the open connection (resulting from a management command). + +NOTE – OCI is detected at the next downstream OCh or OTSiA trail terminating equipment. If the connection was opened intentionally, the related alarm report from this trail termination should be disabled by using the alarm reporting control mode (refer to [ITU-T M.3100]). + +## 16.4 OTU maintenance signals + +### 16.4.1 OTUk (k=1,2,3) alarm indication signal (OTUk-AIS) + +The OTUk-AIS (k=1,2,3) (see Figure 16-1) is a generic-AIS signal (see clause 16.6.1).

The GFP frame consists of 2200 rows with 32 bits per row. The first row contains the GFP core header, the second row the GFP payload header. The next four rows contain 16 bytes reserved for future international standardization. The next seventeen times 129 rows contain the seventeen superblocks #1 to #17. The last row contains the GFP payload FCS. The flag (F) bit of 513B block #i ( $i = 0..7$ ) is carried in Flag #i bit located in the superblock flags field. The remaining 512 bits of each of the eight 513B blocks of a superblock are carried in 16 rows of the superblock data field; bits of 513B block #0 in the first 16 rows of the superblock, bits of 513B block #1 in the next 16 rows, etc. Each 513B block contains 'j' ( $j = 0..8$ ) control blocks (CB1 to CBj) and '8-j' all-data blocks (DB1..DB8-j) as specified in Annex B. Figure 17-17 presents a 513B block with three control blocks and five all-data blocks. A 513B block may contain zero to eight control blocks and a superblock may contain thus zero to sixty-four control blocks. + +NOTE 1 – The GFP encapsulation stage does not generate GFP-idle frames and therefore the generated GFP stream is synchronous to the FC-1200 client stream. The adaptation process performs a 50/51 rate compression, so the resulting GFP stream has a signal bit rate of $50/51 \times 10.51875\text{ Gbit/s} \pm 100\text{ ppm}$ (i.e., $10\,312\,500\text{ kbit/s} \pm 100\text{ ppm}$ ). + +The stream of 8800 octet GFP frames is byte-synchronous mapped into the OPU2e payload by aligning the byte structure of every GFP frame with the byte structure of the OPU2e payload (see Figure 17-16). Sixty-four fixed stuff (FS) bytes are added in columns 1905 to 1920 of the OPU2e payload. All the GFP frames have the same length (8800 octets).

The leading flag bits from each of the eight 513B blocks are relocated into a single octet at the end of the 513-octet superblock data field (labelled "Superblock flags"). + +To minimize the risk of incorrect decoding due to errors in the 1 to 65 octets of "control" information (Flags, FC, POS, CB\_Type), a CRC-24 is calculated over the 65 octets within each superblock that may contain such "control" information and appended to form a 516 octet superblock. The 65 octets in the 516-octet superblock over which the CRC-24 is calculated are the octets $(1+8n)$ with $n=0..64$ (i.e., octets 1, 9, 17, ..., 513). The generator polynomial for the CRC-24 is $G(x) = x^{24} + x^{21} + x^{20} + x^{17} + x^{15} + x^{11} + x^9 + x^8 + x^6 + x^5 + x + 1$ with an all-ones initialization value, where $x^{24}$ corresponds to the MSB and $x^0$ to the LSB. This superblock CRC is generated by the source adaptation process using the following steps: + +- 1) The 65 octets of "control" information (Flags, POS, CB\_Type) are taken in network octet order (see Figure 17-17), most significant bit first, to form a 520-bit pattern representing the coefficients of a polynomial $M(x)$ of degree 519. +- 2) $M(x)$ is multiplied by $x^{24}$ and divided (modulo 2) by $G(x)$ , producing a remainder $R(x)$ of degree 23 or less. +- 3) The coefficients of $R(x)$ are considered to be a 24-bit sequence, where $x^{23}$ is the most significant bit. +- 4) After inversion, this 24-bit sequence is the CRC-24. + +Exactly 17 of these 516-octet superblocks are prefixed with the standard GFP core and type headers and 16 octets of "reserved" (padding). Because the number of 516-octet superblocks per GFP frame is known a priori, it is possible for this mapping scheme to operate in a cut-through (as opposed to store and forward) fashion, thus minimizing the mapping latency. + +The payload FCS (a CRC-32) is appended to the end of each GFP frame and is calculated across the payload information field of the GFP frame as per [ITU-T G.704]. The purpose of the payload FCS is to provide visibility of bit errors occurring anywhere in the GFP payload information field and thus augments the coverage provided by the per-superblock CRC-24 (which only provides coverage for the "control" overhead in each superblock). The payload FCS is only for the purposes of gathering statistics. + +All octets in the GFP payload area are scrambled using the $X^{43} + 1$ self-synchronous scrambler, again as per [ITU-T G.704]. + +## 17.9 Mapping a supra-2.488 Gbit/s CBR signal into OPUflex using BMP + +Mapping of a supra-2.488 Gbit/s CBR client signal (with up to $\pm 100$ ppm bit-rate tolerance) into an OPUflex is performed by a bit-synchronous mapping procedure (BMP). Table 17-14 specifies the clients defined by this Recommendation. + +The bit-synchronous mapping process deployed to map constant bit rate client signals into an OPUflex does not generate any justification control signals. + +The OPUflex clock for the bit-synchronous mapping is derived from the client signal. During a signal fail condition of the incoming client signal (e.g., in the case of a loss of input signal), this failed incoming signal is replaced by the appropriate replacement signal as defined in Table 17-15. The OPUflex payload signal bit rate shall be within the limits specified in Table 7-3 and the limits for the ODCb clock defined in [ITU-T G.825] and no frame phase discontinuity shall be introduced in this case and when resynchronization on the incoming client signal. + +During a signal fail condition of the incoming ODUflex/OPUflex signal (e.g., in the case of an ODUflex-AIS, ODUflex-LCK, ODUflex-OCI condition), the failed client signal is replaced by the appropriate replacement signal as defined in Table 17-15. + +The OPUflex overhead for this mapping consists of: + +- A payload structure identifier (PSI) including the payload type (PT) as specified in Table 15-9, the client signal fail (CSF) and 254 bytes plus 7 bits reserved for future international standardization (RES); +- Three justification control (JC) bytes, consisting of two bits for justification control (with fixed 00 value) and six bits reserved for future international standardization; +- One negative justification opportunity (NJO) byte (carrying a justification byte); and +- Three bytes reserved for future international standardization (RES). + +NOTE – To allow the use of a common asynchronous/bit-synchronous de-mapper circuit for CBR client signals into ODUk (k=1,2,3 and flex), JC, NJO and PJO fields are assumed to be present in the OPUflex frame structure for the mapping of a supra-2.488G CBR client signal (Figure 17-18). This OPUflex frame structure is now compatible with the OPUk frame structure for the mapping of a CBR2G5, CBR10G or CBR40G signal (Figure 17-1).

Only the RS FEC operational mode is applicable to optical PHYs, while any of the three modes may be used for backplane and copper cable PHYs, with the operational mode selected between the endpoints of a PHY link via auto-negotiation. + +The No FEC mode of operation sends bits at the physical layer using the same format as the PCS: a continuous stream of 64B/66B blocks at 25.78125 Gb/s $\pm 100$ ppm. + +In the BASE-R FEC mode of operation, the signal is encoded according to clause 74 of [IEEE 802.3], using a shortened cyclical code (2112,2080). This code removes the redundant sync header bit from each of thirty-two 66B blocks and adds 32 bits of parity to produce the 2112-bit FEC codeword. The FEC is framed by the mapper using a "search and test" algorithm as described in clause 73 of [IEEE 802.3]. Errors are corrected, the FEC parity is removed, and the second sync header bit is restored to produce the stream of 66B blocks to map into OPUflex. The demapper removes the redundant sync header bit from each 66B block and adds the 32 bits of parity to each group of thirty-two, now 65B blocks. Since this process adds and removes the same number of bits in the process of encoding and decoding the FEC, this mapping is timing transparent. + +In the RS FEC mode of operation, the signal is encoded according to clause 108 of [IEEE 802.3], using a Reed-Solomon (528,514) error correcting code based on 10-bit symbols. Each group of four 66B blocks from the PCS is transcoded into a 257B block. Twenty 257B blocks (5140 bits) are combined with 140 bits of FEC parity (14 FEC symbols) to produce a 5280-bit FEC codeword. To frame the bit-stream, a 257-bit codeword marker (CWM) is inserted as the first 257 bits of every 1024th FEC codeword, with sufficient idles being deleted from the PCS to make room for the CWM at the same bit-rate as the PCS. The mapper will reverse this process, finding the CWMs in the bit-stream, decoding the FEC and correcting errors, removing the CWMs, trans-decoding 257B to 64B/66B, and inserting idles to maintain the bit-rate as described in the Rx direction data flow of clause 108 of [IEEE 802.3]. The demapper will remove idles to make room for the CWM (maintaining the bit-rate), transcode to 257B, and adding the FEC parity to each group of twenty 257B blocks as described in the Tx direction data flow of clause 108 of [IEEE 802.3]. This process preserves the timing of the client signal, and this mapping is timing transparent. + +### 17.13.2 200GBASE-R and 400GBASE-R + +The characteristic information of the adapted and mapped 200GBASE-R or 400GBASE-R client signal consists of a scrambled sequence of 64B/66B encoded blocks with a nominal bit-rate of X kbit/s $\pm 100$ ppm. + +The mapper shall first recover the 200GBASE-R or 400GBASE-R client stream, which is referred to as the OTN reference signal, that is a sequence of 64B/66B encoded blocks as per clause 119.2.5.7 of [IEEE 802.3], with a bit rate of $(528/544 \times 20479/20480 \times Y \text{ kbit/s}) \pm 100$ ppm. + +NOTE 1 – Y kbit/s is the nominal bit-rate of the aggregate 200GBASE-R or 400GBASE-R PCS signal consisting of 8 or 16 PCS lanes with 256B/257B encoding and FEC at the PMA service interface. + +**Table 17-18 – X, Y and Z parameter values** + +| Parameter | 200GBASE-R | 400G BASE-R | +|-----------|-------------|-------------| +| X | 206 250 000 | 412 500 000 | +| Y | 212 500 000 | 425 000 000 | +| Z | 16 | 32 | + +The client stream for the 200GBASE-R or 400G BASE-R OTN reference signal (64B/66B encoded, un-scrambled and without alignment markers) is recovered using the process described in Annex J for parallel 256B/257B interfaces. The lane(s) of the physical interface are bit-disinterleaved, if necessary, into eight or sixteen streams of 26 562 500 kbit/s. Lane alignment marker lock is acquired on each PCS lane, allowing lane deskew and reorder, as well as de-interleave for FEC code word synchronization and error correction. The mapper shall extract the FEC parity bits and alignment markers, perform descrambling and transdecode the 256B/257B blocks to 64B/66B blocks.

The three JC bytes are located in rows 1, 2 and 3. The NJO byte is located in row 4. + +Bits 7 and 8 of each JC byte are used for justification control. The other six bits are reserved for future international standardization. + +### 19.4.3.2 Generic mapping procedure (GMP) + +The justification overhead (JOH) for the generic mapping procedure consists of two groups of three bytes of justification control; the general (JC1, JC2, JC3) and the client to ODU mapping specific (JC4, JC5, JC6). Refer to Figure 19-18C. + +The JC1, JC2 and JC3 bytes consist of a 14-bit $C_m$ field (bits C1, C2, ..., C14), a 1-bit increment indicator (II) field, a 1-bit decrement indicator (DI) field and an 8-bit CRC-8 field which contains an error check code over the JC1, JC2 and JC3 fields. + +The JC4, JC5 and JC6 bytes consist of a 10-bit $\Sigma C_{nD}$ field (bits D1, D2, ..., D10), a 5-bit CRC-5 field which contains an error check code over bits 4 to 8 in the JC4, JC5 and JC6 fields and nine bits reserved for future international standardization (RES). + +The value of 'm' in $C_m$ is $8 \times 'ts'$ (number of tributary slots occupied by the ODTUk.ts). + +The value of 'n' represents the timing granularity of the GMP $C_n$ parameter, which is also present in $\Sigma C_{nD}$ . The value of n is 8. + +The value of $C_m$ controls the distribution of groups of 'ts' ODUj data bytes into groups of 'ts' ODTUk.ts payload bytes. Refer to clause 19.6 and Annex D for further specification of this process. + +The value of $\Sigma C_{nD}$ provides additional 'n'-bit timing information, which is necessary to control the jitter and wander performance experienced by the ODUj signal. + +The value of $C_n$ (i.e., number of client n-bit data entities per OPUCn multiframe) is computed as follows: $C_n(t) = m \times C_m(t) + (\Sigma C_{nD}(t) - \Sigma C_{nD}(t-1))$ . Note that the value $C_{nD}$ is effectively an indication of the amount of data in the mapper's virtual queue that it could not send during that multiframe due to it being less than an M-byte word. For the case where the value of $\Sigma C_{nD}$ in a multiframe 't' is corrupted, it is possible to recover from such error in the next multiframe 't+1'. + +### 19.4.4 OPU multiframe identifier overhead (OMFI) + +An OPU4 multiframe identifier (OMFI) byte is defined in row 4, column 16 of the OPU4 overhead (Figure 19-27).

Each OPUC is divided into 20 tributary slots (TS) and these tributary slots are 16-byte interleaved within the OPUC payload area. A tributary slot includes a part of the OPUC OH area and a part of the OPUC payload area. The bytes of the ODUk frame are mapped into the ODTUCn payload area and the ODTUCn bytes are mapped into the OPUCn tributary slot or slots. The bytes of the ODTUCn justification overhead are mapped into the OPUCn OH area. + +There is *only* one type of tributary slot: + +- 1) Tributary slot with a bandwidth of approximately 5 Gbit/s; an OPUCn is divided into 20n tributary slots, numbered 1.1 to n.20. + +#### 20.1.1 OPUCn tributary slot allocation + +Figures 20-1 and 20-2 present the OPUC 5G tributary slot allocation. An OPUC is divided into 20 5G tributary slots (named TS #A.B where A = 1...n which denotes the number of the OPUC within the OPUCn and B = 1...20 which denotes the number of the TS within the OPUC), which are located in columns 17 to 3824. The OPUC multi-frame may be represented in an 80 row by 3810 column format (Figure 20-1) and in a 8 row by 38100 column format (Figure 20-2). + +An OPUC 5G tributary slot occupies 5% of the OPUC payload area. It is a structure with 119 16-byte columns by $8/(20 \times 4/10)$ rows (see Figure 20-2) plus a tributary slot overhead (TSOH). The 20 OPUC 5G TSs are 16-byte interleaved in the OPUC payload area and the 20 OPUC TSOHs are frame interleaved in the OPUC overhead area. + +The tributary slot overhead (TSOH) of OPUC tributary slots is located in rows 1 to 3, columns 15 and 16 of the OPUC frame. + +The TSOH for a 5G tributary slot is available once every 20 frames. A 20-frame multiframe structure is used for this assignment. This multiframe structure is locked to bits 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the OMFI byte as shown in Table 20-1 and Figure 20-1. + +Figure 20-3 presents the 5G tributary slots in the OPUCn for the case of 16-byte interleaving of the OPUC instances.

The resulting 513B blocks can be mapped in one of several ways depending on the requirements of the client and the available bandwidth of the container into which the client is mapped. This mapping can be applied to serial or parallel client interfaces. + +#### B.1 Transmission order + +The order of transmission of information in all the diagrams in this annex is first from left to right and then from top to bottom. + +#### B.2 Client frame recovery + +For 40GBASE-R and 100GBASE-R clients, framing recovery consists of the recovering 64B/66B block lock per the state diagram in Figure 82-10 of [IEEE 802.3]. For other 64B/66B encoded clients, block lock is achieved as per the state diagram in Figure 49-12 of [IEEE 802.3]. Descrambling is performed as per the process shown in Figure 49-10 of [IEEE 802.3]. + +Each 66B codeword (after block lock) is one of the following: + +- a set of eight data bytes with a sync header of "01"; +- a control block (possibly including seven or fewer data octets) beginning with a sync header of "10". + +The 64 bits following the sync header are scrambled as a continuous bit-stream (skipping sync headers and PCS lane markers) according to the polynomial $G(x) = 1 + x^{39} + x^{58}$ . The 64B/66B PCS receive process will descramble the bits other than (1) the sync header of 66B data and control blocks, and (2) the PCS lane markers. + +Figure B.1 illustrates the ordering of 64B/66B code blocks after the completion of the recovering process for an interface. + +![Diagram showing the transmission order of 64B/66B code blocks.

The flag continuation bit "FC" will be set to a 0 if this is the final 66B control block or PCS lane alignment marker encoded in this 513B block, or to a 1 if one or more 66B control blocks or PCS lane alignment markers follow this one.

If flag bit "F" is 1, then 66B control blocks starting from the first row of the block are reconstructed and placed in the position indicated by the POS field. This process continues through all of the control blocks working downward from the top row.

The same action should be taken as a result of failure to achieve 66B block lock on an input signal. + +An invalid 66B block will be converted to an error control block before transcoding and the OTN BIP-8 calculation as described in clause E.4.1. An invalid 66B block is one which does not have a sync header of "01" or "10", or one which has a sync header of "10" and a control block type field which does not appear in Figure B.2. An error control block has sync bits of "10", a block type code of 0x1E, and 8 seven-bit/E/error control characters. This will prevent the Ethernet receiver from interpreting a sequence of bits containing this error as a valid packet. + +### B.3.2 Errors detected by 512B/513B decoder + +Several mechanisms will be employed to reduce the probability that the decoder constructs erroneous 64B/66B encoded data at the egress if bit errors have corrupted. Since detectable corruption normally means that the proper order of 66B blocks to construct at the decoder cannot be reliably determined, if any of these checks fail, the decoder will transmit eight 66B error control blocks (sync="10", control block type=0x1e, and eight 7-bit/E/control characters). + +Mechanisms for improving the robustness and for 513B block lock are discussed in Annex F. + +#### **B.4 Link fault signalling** + +In-band link fault signalling in the client 64B/66B code (e.g., if a local fault or remote fault sequence ordered set is being transmitted between Ethernet equipments) is carried transparently according to this transcoding. + +## Annex C + +### Adaptation of OTU3 and OTU4 over multichannel parallel interfaces + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +NOTE 1 – This mechanism is designed to allow the use of the optical modules being developed for IEEE 40GBASE-R and 100GBASE-R signals for short-reach client-side OTU3 and OTU4 interfaces respectively.

Refer to [ITU-T G.798] for the specific processing details. + +The lane rotation mechanism will place the first 16 bytes of the OTU3 frame on each lane once per $4080 \times 4$ (i.e., 16320) bytes (the same as an OTU3 itself). The two LSBs of the MFAS will be the same in each FAS on a particular lane, which allows the lane to be identified. Since the MFAS cycles through 256 distinct values, the lanes can be de-skewed and reassembled by the receiver as long as the total skew does not exceed 127 OTU3 frame periods (approximately 385 $\mu\text{s}$ ). The receiver must use the MFAS to identify each received lane, as lane positions may not be preserved by the optical modules to be used for this application. + +#### OTU4 16-byte increment distribution + +Each 16-byte increment of an OTU4 frame is distributed, round robin, to each of the 20 logical lanes. On each OTU4 frame boundary the lane assignments are rotated. + +For distribution of OTU4 to twenty logical lanes, since the MFAS is not a multiple of 20, a different marking mechanism must be used. Since the frame alignment signal is 6 bytes (48 bits) and as per [ITU-T G.798] only 32 bits must be checked for frame alignment, the third OA2 byte position will be borrowed as a logical lane marker (LLM). For maximum skew detection range, the lane marker value will increment on successive frames from 0-239 (240 values being the largest multiple of 20 that can be represented in 8-bits). LLM = 0 position shall be aligned with MFAS = 0 position every 3840 (the least common multiple of 240 and 256) frame periods. The logical lane number can be recovered from this value by a modulo 20 operation. Table C.2 and Figure C.3 illustrate how bytes of the OTU4 are distributed in 16-byte increments across the 20 logical lanes. + +The pattern repeats every 320 bytes until the end of the OTU4 frame. + +The following OTU4 frame will use different lane assignment according to the LLM MOD 20. + +**Table C.2 – Lane rotation assignments for OTU4** + +| LLM MOD 20 | Lane 0 | Lane 1 | ..... | Lane 18 | Lane 19 | +|------------|---------|--------|-------|---------|---------| +| 0 | 1:16 | 17:32 | | 289:304 | 305:320 | +| 1 | 305:320 | 1:16 | | 273:288 | 289:304 | +| : | | | | | | +| 18 | 33:48 | 49:64 | | 1:16 | 17:32 | +| 19 | 17:32 | 33:48 | | 305:320 | 1:16 | + +The distribution of 16-byte blocks from the sequence of OTU4 frames is illustrated in Figure C.3. + +The parallel lanes can be reassembled at the sink by first recovering framing on each of the parallel lanes, then recovering the lane identifiers and then performing de-skewing of the lanes.

The "LLM MOD 20" will be the same in each FAS on a particular lane, which allows the lane to be identified. Since the LLM cycles through 240 distinct values, the lanes can be de-skewed and reassembled by the receiver as long as the total skew does not exceed 119 OTU4 frame periods (approximately 139 $\mu\text{s}$ ). The receiver must use the + +"LLM MOD 20" to identify each received lane, as lane positions may not be preserved by the optical modules to be used for this application. + +The lanes are identified, de-skewed, and reassembled into the original OTU4 frame according to the lane marker. The MFAS can be combined with the lane marker to provide additional skew detection range, the maximum being up to the least common multiple "LCM(240, 256)/2 - 1" or 1919 OTU4 frame periods (approximately 2.241 ms). In mapping from lanes back to the OTU4 frame, the sixth byte of each OTU4 frame which was borrowed for lane marking is restored to the value OA2. + +Each physical lane of an OTL4.4 carried over a multi-lane interface is formed by simple bit multiplexing of five logical lanes. At the sink, the bits are disinterleaved into five logical lanes from each physical lane. The sink will identify each logical lane according to the lane marker in the LLM byte. The sink must be able to accept the logical lanes in any position as the ordering of bit multiplexing on each physical lane is arbitrary; the optical module hardware to be used for this application is permitted full flexibility concerning which physical lane will be used for output of each logical lane, and the order of bit multiplexing of logical lanes on each physical output lane. + +NOTE 4 – Ten-lane IEEE 100GBASE-R interfaces are specified, although not with ITU-T physical layer specifications.

For the case where too many m-bit client data entities are in the buffer, it is necessary to insert temporarily more m-bit client data entities in the server (multi)frame(s) than required by $C_n(t)$ . For the case too few m-bit client data entities are in the buffer, it is necessary to insert temporarily fewer m-bit client data entities in the server (multi)frame(s) than required by $C_n(t)$ . This behaviour is similar to the behaviour of AMP under these conditions. + +The OTN supports a number of client signal types for which transfer delay (latency) and transfer delay variation are critical parameters.

At this point the GMP sink is synchronized to the GMP source. When $II \neq DI$ with a valid CRC in the current received frame (frame $i$ ), the GMP sink must examine the received JC octets in the next frame (frame $i+1$ ) in order to obtain $C_m(t)$ synchronization. $II \neq DI$ in frame $i$ indicates that the source is performing a count increment or decrement operation that will modify the $C_m(t)$ value it sends in frame $i+1$ . Since this modification to the $C_m(t)$ will affect the count LSBs, the GMP sink uses the LSBs, $II$ , and $DI$ in frame $i$ to determine its synchronization hunt state when it receives frame $i+1$ . Specifically, in Figure D.7, the Hunt state (A-F) is determined using C13, C14, $II$ and $DI$ for the 14-bit count and C9, C10, $II$ and $DI$ for the 10-bit count. Equivalently, in Figure D.8, the Hunt state (A or B) is determined using C14, $II$ , and $DI$ for the 14-bit count and C10, $II$ , and $DI$ for the 10-bit count. If $II = DI$ with a valid CRC in frame $i+1$ , $C_m(t)$ synchronization is achieved by directly accepting the received C1-CL as the new $C_m(t)$ . If $II \neq DI$ with a valid CRC in frame $i+1$ , the sink uses the new LSBs, $II$ and $DI$ values to determine whether the source is communicating an increment or decrement operation and the magnitude of the increment/decrement step. This corresponds to the transition to the lower row of states (the "S" states) in Figure D.7 and Figure D.8. At this point, the GMP sink has identified the type of increment or decrement operation that is being signalled in frame $i+1$ . As shown in Figure D.9, the sink then applies the appropriate bit inversion pattern from Table D.2 to the received C1-C14 field or the bit inversion pattern from Table D.3 to the received C1-C10 field to determine the transmitted $C_m(t)$ value. Synchronization has now been achieved since the GMP sink has determined the current $C_m(t)$ and knows the expected $C_m(t)$ change in frame $i+2$ . + +![State transition diagram for GMP sink count synchronization.

This annex describes the process of converting the parallel format of these interfaces into a serial bit stream to be carried over the OTN. + +The order of transmission of information in all the diagrams in this annex is first from left to right and then from top to bottom. + +#### E.2 Clients signal format + +40GBASE-R and 100GBASE-R clients are initially parallel interfaces, but in the future they may be serial interfaces. Independent of whether these interfaces are parallel or serial, or what the parallel interface lane count is, 40GBASE-R signals are comprised of four PCS lanes, and 100GBASE-R signals are comprised of twenty PCS lanes. If the number of physical lanes on the interface is fewer than the number of PCS lanes, the appropriate number of PCS lanes is bit-multiplexed onto each physical lane of the interface. Each PCS lane consists of 64B/66B encoded data with a PCS lane alignment marker inserted on each lane once per 16384 66-bit blocks. The PCS lane alignment marker itself is a special format 66B codeword. + +The use of this adaptation for 40GBASE-R into OPU3 also applies the transcoding method that appears in Annex B and the framing method of Annex F. The adaptation described in this annex alone can be used for the adaptation of 100GBASE-R into OPU4. + +#### E.3 Client frame recovery + +Client framing recovery consists of the following: + +- bit-disinterleave the PCS lanes, if necessary. This is necessary whenever the number of PCS lanes and the number of physical lanes is not equal, and is not necessary when they are equal (e.g., a 4-lane 40GBASE-R interface); +- recover 64B/66B block lock as per the state diagram in Figure 82-10 of [IEEE 802.3]; +- recover lane alignment marker framing on each PCS lane as per the state diagram in Figure 82-11 of [IEEE 802.3]; +- reorder and de-skew the PCS lanes into a serialized stream of 66B blocks (including lane alignment markers). Figure E.1 illustrates the ordering of 66B blocks after the completion of this process for an interface with $p$ PCS lanes. + +![Diagram of de-skewed/serialized stream of 66B blocks showing transmission order.

Of the 8 octets following the sync header, 6 octets have fixed values allowing the PCS lane alignment markers to be recognized (see Tables E.1 and E.2). The fourth octet following the sync header is a BIP-8 calculated over the data from one alignment marker to the next as defined in Table 82-4 of [IEEE 802.3]. The eighth octet is the complement of this BIP-8 value to maintain DC balance. Note that the intended operation is to pass these BIP-8 values transparently as they are used for monitoring the error ratio of the Ethernet link between Ethernet PCS sublayers. For the case of 100GBASE-R, the BIP-8 values are not manipulated by the mapping or de-mapping procedure. For the case of 40GBASE-R, a BIP-8 compensation is done as described in clause E.4.1. + +For all-data blocks and control blocks, the 64 bits following the sync header are scrambled as a continuous bit-stream (skipping sync headers and PCS lane alignment markers) according to the polynomial $G(x) = 1 + x^{39} + x^{58}$ . + +After 64B/66B block lock recovery as per the state diagram in Figure 82-10 of [IEEE 802.3] to the single-lane received aggregate signal, these 66B blocks are re-distributed to PCS lanes at the egress interface. The 66B blocks (including PCS lane alignment markers) resulting from the decoding process are distributed round-robin to PCS lanes. If the number of PCS lanes is greater than the number of physical lanes of the egress interface, the appropriate numbers of PCS lanes are bit-multiplexed onto the physical lanes of the egress interface. + +### E.3.1 40GBASE-R client frame recovery + +PCS lane alignment markers have the values shown in Table E.1 for 40GBASE-R signals which use PCS lane numbers 0-3. + +**Table E.1 – PCS lane alignment marker format for 40GBASE-R** + +| Lane Number | SH | Encoding { M0 , M1 , M2 , BIP3 , M4 , M5 , M6 , BIP7 } | +|-------------|----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 0 | 10 | 0x90, 0x76, 0x47, BIP 3 , 0x6f, 0x89, 0xb8, BIP 7 | +| 1 | 10 | 0xf0, 0xc4, 0xe6, BIP 3 , 0x0f, 0x3b, 0x19, BIP 7 | +| 2 | 10 | 0xc5, 0x65, 0x9b, BIP 3 , 0x3a, 0x9a, 0x64, BIP 7 | +| 3 | 10 | 0xa2, 0x79, 0x3d, BIP 3 , 0x5d, 0x86, 0xc2, BIP 7 | + +Since a 40GBASE-R client signal must be transcoded into 1024B/1027B for rate reduction, the 64B/66B PCS receive process at the ingress interface further descrambles the bit-stream skipping sync headers and PCS lane alignment markers, and the 64B/66B PCS transmit process at the egress interface scrambles the bit-stream again skipping sync headers and PCS lane alignment markers, as shown in Figure E.1. + +### E.3.2 100GBASE-R client frame recovery + +PCS lane alignment markers have the values shown in Table E.2 for 100GBASE-R signals which use PCS lane numbers 0-19. + +The lane alignment markers transported over the OPU4 are distributed unchanged to the PCS lanes. + +**Table E.2 – PCS lane alignment marker format for 100GBASE-R** + +| Lane Number | SH | Encoding { M0 , M1 , M2 , BIP3 , M4 , M5 , M6 , BIP7 } | Lane Number | SH | Encoding { M0 , M1 , M2 , BIP3 , M4 , M5 , M6 , BIP7 } | +|-------------|----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 0 | 10 | 0xc1, 0x68, 0x21, BIP 3 , 0x3e, 0x97, 0xde, BIP 7 | 10 | 10 | 0xfd, 0x6c, 0x99, BIP 3 , 0x02, 0x93, 0x66, BIP 7 | +| 1 | 10 | 0x9d, 0x71, 0x8e, BIP 3 , 0x62, 0x8e, 0x71, BIP 7 | 11 | 10 | 0xb9, 0x91, 0x55, BIP 3 , 0x46, 0x6e, 0xaa, BIP 7 | +| 2 | 10 | 0x59, 0x4b, 0xe8, BIP 3 , 0xa6, 0xb4, 0x17, BIP 7 | 12 | 10 | 0x5c, 0xb9, 0xb2, BIP 3 , 0xa3, 0x46, 0x4d, BIP 7 | +| 3 | 10 | 0x4d, 0x95, 0x7b, BIP 3 , 0xb2, 0x6a, 0x84, BIP 7 | 13 | 10 | 0x1a, 0xf8, 0xbd, BIP 3 , 0xe5, 0x07, 0x42, BIP 7 | +| 4 | 10 | 0xf5, 0x07, 0x09, BIP 3 , 0x0a, 0xf8, 0xf6, BIP 7 | 14 | 10 | 0x83, 0xc7, 0xca, BIP 3 , 0x7c, 0x38, 0x35, BIP 7 | +| 5 | 10 | 0xdd, 0x14, 0xc2, BIP 3 , 0x22, 0xeb, 0x3d, BIP 7 | 15 | 10 | 0x35, 0x36, 0xcd, BIP 3 , 0xca, 0xc9, 0x32, BIP 7 | +| 6 | 10 | 0x9a, 0x4a, 0x26, BIP 3 , 0x65, 0xb5, 0xd9, BIP 7 | 16 | 10 | 0xc4, 0x31, 0x4c, BIP 3 , 0x3b, 0xce, 0xb3, BIP 7 | +| 7 | 10 | 0x7b, 0x45, 0x66, BIP 3 , 0x84, 0xba, 0x99, BIP 7 | 17 | 10 | 0xad, 0xd6, 0xb7, BIP 3 , 0x52, 0x29, 0x48, BIP 7 | +| 8 | 10 | 0xa0, 0x24, 0x76, BIP 3 , 0x5f, 0xdb, 0x89, BIP 7 | 18 | 10 | 0x5f, 0x66, 0x2a, BIP 3 , 0xa0, 0x99, 0xd5, BIP 7 | +| 9 | 10 | 0x68, 0xc9, 0xfb, BIP 3 , 0x97, 0x36, 0x04, BIP 7 | 19 | 10 | 0xc0, 0xf0, 0xe5, BIP 3 , 0x3f, 0x0f, 0x1a, BIP 7 | + +#### **E.4 Additions to Annex B transcoding for parallel 40GBASE-R clients** + +Mapping 40GBASE-R clients into OPU3 requires the transcoding into 513B code blocks described in Annex B. This clause describes the additions to the Annex B transcoding process for transport of PCS lane alignment markers. + +Ethernet path monitoring is the kind of behaviour that is desirable in the case where the Ethernet equipment and the OTN equipment are in different domains (e.g., customer and service provider) and from the standpoint of the Ethernet equipment. It is also the default behaviour which would result from the current mapping of 100GBASE-R where the 66B blocks would be mapped into the OPU4 container after management of skew. It may also be perceived as a transparency requirement that BIP-8 work end-to-end. Additional functionality as described below has to be built in to allow BIP-8 transparency for 40GBASE-R client signals. + +PCS lane alignment markers are encoded together with 66B control blocks into the uppermost rows of the 513B code block shown in Figure B.3. The flag bit "F" of the 513B structure is 1 if the 513B structure contains at least one 66B control block or PCS lane alignment marker, and 0 if the 513B structure contains eight all-data 66B blocks. + +The transcoding into 512B/513B must encode PCS lane alignment marker into a row of the structure shown in Figure B.3 as follows: The sync header of "10" is removed. The received M0, M1 and M2 bytes of the PCS alignment marker encodings as shown in Table E.1 are used to forward the lane number information. The first byte of the row will contain the structure shown in Figure B.4, with a CB-TYPE field of "0100". The POS field will indicate the position where the PCS lane alignment marker was received among the group of eight 66B codewords being encoded into this 513B block. The flag continuation bit "FC" will indicate whether any other 66B control blocks or PCS lane alignment markers are encoded into rows below this one in the 513B block. Beyond this first byte, the next four bytes of the row are populated with the received M0, M1, M2 and ingress BIP3 bytes of the PCS alignment marker encodings at the encoder. At the decoder, a PCS lane alignment marker will be generated in the position indicated by the POS field among any 66B all-data blocks contained in this 513B block, the sync header of "10" is generated followed by the received M0, M1 and M2 bytes, the egress BIP3 byte, the bytes M4, M5 and M6 which are the bit-wise inverted M0, M1 and M2 bytes received at the decoder, and the egress BIP7 byte which is the bit-wise inverted egress BIP3 byte. + +It will then be up to the Ethernet receiver to handle bit errors within the OTN section that might have altered the PCS alignment marker encodings (for details refer to clause 82.2.18.3 and Figure 82-11 in [IEEE 802.3]). + +The egress BIP3 and the egress BIP7 bytes are calculated as described in clause E.4.1. + +Figure E.2 below shows the transcoded lane marker format. + +![](180f1fb534ad2c1d918ede57612b3fb0_img.jpg) + +| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +|--------------------------|-----|--|---|---|---|---|----|----------------------|--|--|----|----------------|--|--|----| +| 0 | 1 | | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | | | 11 | 12 | | | 15 | +| FC | POS | | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | M 0 | | | | +| 16 | | | | | | | 23 | 24 | | | | | | | 31 | +| M 1 | | | | | | | | M 2 | | | | | | | | +| 32 | | | | | | | 39 | 40 | | | | | | | 47 | +| ingress BIP 3 | | | | | | | | PCS BIP-8 error mask | | | | | | | | +| 48 | | | | | | | 55 | 56 | | | | | | | 63 | +| OTN BIP-8 | | | | | | | | 0×FF | | | | | | | | + +G.709-Y.1331(20)\_FE.2 + +**Figure E.2 – Transcoded lane marker format** + +#### E.4.1 40GBASE-R BIP-8 transparency + +The transcoding method used for 40GBASE-R is timing and PCS codeword transparent. In normal operation, the only aspects of the PCS encoded bitstream that are not preserved given the mapping described in annexes B, E and F are for one the scrambling, since the scrambler does not begin with a known state and multiple different encoded bitstreams can represent the same PCS encoded content, and secondly the BIP-8 value in the Ethernet path or more precisely, the bit errors that occur between the Ethernet transmitter and the ingress point of the OTN domain and within the OTN domain. The BIP-8 values can be preserved with the scheme described below. As the scrambling itself does not contain any information that has to be preserved, no effort has been made to synchronize the scrambler states between OTN ingress and OTN egress. + +Unfortunately, since the BIP-8 is calculated on the scrambled bitstream, a simple transport of the BIP-8 across the OTN domain in the transcoded lane marker will not result in a BIP-8 value that is meaningful for detecting errors in the received, descrambled, transcoded, trans-decoded, and then rescrambled bit stream. + +To preserve the bit errors between the Ethernet transmitter and the egress side of the OTN domain, the bit-error handling is divided into two processes, one that takes place at the OTN ingress side, or encoder, and one on the OTN egress side, or decoder. + +At the OTN ingress an 8-bit error mask is calculated by generating the expected BIP-8 for each PCS lane and XORing this value with the received BIP-8. This error mask will have a "1" for each bit of the BIP-8 which is wrong, and a "0" for each bit which is correct. This value is shown as a PCS BIP-8 error mask in Figure E.2. + +In the event no errors are introduced across the OTN (as an FEC protected network can be an essentially zero error environment), the PCS BIP-8 error mask can be used to adjust the newly calculated PCS BIP-8 at the egress providing a reliable indication of the number of errors that are introduced across the full Ethernet path. If errors are introduced across the OTN, this particular BIP-8 calculation algorithm will not see these errors. + +To overcome this situation, a new BIP-8 per lane for the OTN section is introduced. In the following this new BIP-8 will be identified as OTN BIP-8 in order to distinguish it from the PCS BIP-8. + +It should be noted that the term OTN BIP-8 does not refer to and should not be confused with the BIP-8 defined in the OTUk overhead (byte SM[2]). + +The OTN BIP-8 is calculated similarly to the PCS BIP-8 as described in clause 82.2.8 of [IEEE 802.3] with the exception that the calculation will be done over unscrambled PCS lane data, the original received lane alignment marker, after error control block insertion and before transcoding. Figure E.2 shows the byte location of the OTN BIP-8 in the transcoded lane marker. + +The transcoded lane marker is transmitted together with the transcoded data blocks over the OTN section as defined in Annex B. At the OTN egress after trans-decoding and before scrambling, the ingress alignment marker is recreated using $M_0$ , $M_1$ , $M_2$ and ingress $BIP_3$ of the transcoded alignment marker followed by the bit-wise inversion of these bytes. This recreated alignment marker together with the trans-decoded and unscrambled data blocks is used to calculate the expected OTN BIP-8 for each PCS lane (refer to clause 82.2.8 of [IEEE 802.3]). The expected value will be XORed with the received OTN BIP-8. This error mask will have a "1" for each bit of the OTN BIP-8 which is wrong, and a "0" for each bit which is correct. + +The egress $BIP_3$ for each PCS lane is calculated over the trans-decoded and scrambled data blocks including the trans-decoded alignment marker (refer to clause E.4) following the process depicted in clause 82.2.8 of [IEEE 802.3]. + +The egress BIP3 is then adjusted for the errors that occurred up to the OTN egress by first XORing with the PCS BIP-8 error mask and then XORing with the OTN BIP-8 error mask. This combined error mask will be used to compute the number of BIP errors when used for non-intrusive monitoring. + +The BIP7 is created by bit-wise inversion of the adjusted BIP3. + +#### **E.4.2 Errors detected by 40GBASE-R to OPU3 mapper** + +An invalid 66B block will be converted to an error control block before transcoding. An invalid 66B block is one which does not have a sync header of "01" or "10", or one which has a sync header of "10", is not a valid PCS lane alignment marker and has a control block type field which does not appear in Figure B.2 or has one of the values 0x2d, 0x33, 0x66, or 0x55 which are not used for 40GBASE-R. An error control block has sync bits of "10", a block type code of 0x1e, and 8 seven-bit/E/error control characters. This will prevent the Ethernet receiver from interpreting a sequence of bits containing this error as a valid packet. + +#### **E.4.3 Errors detected by 40GBASE-R to OPU3 de-mapper** + +Several mechanisms will be employed to reduce the probability that the 40GBASE-R to OPU3 de-mapper constructs erroneous parallel 64B/66B encoded data at the egress if bit errors have corrupted. Since detectable corruption normally means that the proper order of 66B blocks to construct at the de-mapper cannot be reliably determined, if any of these checks fail, the de-mapper will transmit eight 66B error control blocks (sync="10", control block type=0x1e, and eight 7-bit/E/control characters). + +Mechanisms for improving the robustness and for 513B block lock including PCS lane alignment markers are discussed in Annex F. + +## Annex F + +### Improved robustness for mapping of 40GBASE-R into OPU3 using 1027B code blocks + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +#### F.1 Introduction + +When a parallel 40GBASE-R signal is transcoded as per Annexes B and E and directly mapped into OPU3 without GFP framing, another method is needed to locate the start of 513B blocks and to provide protection to prevent bit errors creating an unacceptable increase in mean time to false packet acceptance (MTTFPA). + +#### F.2 513B code block framing and flag bit protection + +The mapping of 513B code blocks into OPU3 requires a mechanism for locating the start of the code blocks. A mechanism is also needed to protect the flag bit, whose corruption could cause data to be erroneously interpreted as control and vice versa. + +Both of these requirements can be addressed by providing parity across the flag bits of two 513B blocks produced from the transcoding of Annex B. + +Figure F.1 illustrates the flag parity bit across two 513B blocks.

The state diagram of Figure 49-12 of [IEEE 802.3] is applied to locate a 3-bit pattern appearing once per 1027 bits (rather than a 2-bit pattern appearing once per 66 bits) where four out of eight 3-bit sequences (rather than two out of four two-bit values as used in IEEE 802.3) match the pattern. The additional step required is to scramble the non-flag bits so that the legal sequences of these bits are not systematically mimicked in the data itself. The scrambler to be used for this purpose is the Ethernet self-synchronous scrambler using the polynomial $G(x) = 1 + x^{39} + x^{58}$ . + +At the de-mapper, invalid flag bit parity will cause both of the 513B blocks across which the flag bit parity applies to be decoded as 8 × 2 66B error control blocks ("10" sync header, control block type 0x1e, followed by eight 7-bit/E/control characters). + +### F.3 66B block sequence check + +Bit error corruption of the position or flag continuation bits could cause 66B blocks to be de-mapped from 513B code blocks in the incorrect order. Additional checks are performed to prevent that this results in incorrect packet delineation. Since detectable corruption normally means that the proper order of 66B blocks to construct at the decoder cannot be reliably determined, if any of these checks fail, the decoder will transmit eight 66B error control blocks (sync="10", control block type=0x1e, and eight 7-bit/E/control characters). + +Other checks are performed to reduce the probability that invalid data is delivered at the egress in the event that bit errors have corrupted any of the POS fields or flag continuation bits "FC". + +If flag bit "F" is 1 (i.e., the 513B block includes at least one 64B/66B control block), for the rows of the table up until the first one with a flag continuation bit of zero (the last one in the block), it is verified that no two 66B control blocks or lane alignment markers within that 513B block have the same value in the POS field, and further, that the POS field values for multiple control or lane alignment rows are in ascending order, which will always be the case for a properly constructed 513B block. If this check fails, the 513B block is decoded into eight 66B error control blocks. + +The next check is to ensure that the block sequence corresponds to well-formed packets, which can be done according to the state diagram in Figures F.2 and F.3. This check will determine if 66B blocks are in an order that does not correspond to well-formed packets, e.g., if during an IPG an all-data 66B block is detected without first seeing a control block representing packet start, or if during a packet a control/idle block is detected without first seeing a control block representing packet termination, control blocks have likely been misordered by corruption of either the POS bits or a flag continuation bit. Failure of this check will cause the 513B block to be decoded as eight 66B error control blocks. Note that PCS lane alignment markers are accepted in either state and do not change state as shown in Figure F.3. + +The sequence of PCS lane alignment markers is also checked at the decoder. For an interface with $p$ PCS lanes, the PCS lane alignment markers for lanes 0 to $p-1$ will appear in a sequence, followed by $16383 \times p$ non-lane-marker 66B blocks, followed by another group of PCS lane alignment markers. A counter is maintained at the decoder to keep track of when the next group of lane alignment markers is expected. If, in the process of decoding lane alignment markers from a 513B block, a lane alignment marker is found in a position where it is not expected, or a lane alignment marker is missing in a position where it would have been expected, the entire 513B block is decoded as eight 66B error control blocks as shown in Figures F.2, F.3, and F.4. + +#### F.3.1 State diagram conventions + +The body of this clause is comprised of state diagrams, including the associated definitions of variables, constants, and functions.

Router vendors would like to see this feature also supported for cases in which two routers are interconnected via an OTN network. The Ethernet interfaces between router and OTN network could be equipped with (Router B in Figure K.1) or without (Router A) a clause 118 extender sublayer. In general such support is not feasible, because a 200G or 400 Gbit/s Ethernet service can be transported over more than one optical link in the OTN passing through intermediate 3R regeneration functions and ODU cross connects. Nonetheless, support for this feature is possible for the case that such service is carried over a single optical link (supported by one OTSiA trail) in the OTN, with Ethernet to OTN transponders at the two end points as illustrated in Figure K.1. For such case the Ethernet to OTN mapper and demapper processes and the OTN FEC processes are within the same transponder and the FEC status information can be exchanged between these processes. + +[IEEE 802.3] has specified three bits in the AM field (am\_sf<2:0>) to carry link status information to support this feature.

Clause 19 describes asynchronous mapping (multiplexing) of ODUj into ODUk ( $k > j$ ). For asynchronous CBR client mappings, any frequency difference between the client and local OPUk server clocks is accommodated by the $+1/0/-1$ justification scheme. For asynchronous multiplexing of ODUj into ODUk ( $k > j$ ), any frequency difference between the client ODUj and local OPUk server clocks is accommodated by the $+2/+1/0/-1$ justification scheme. The OPUk payload, ODUk, and OTUk bit rates and tolerances are given in clause 7.3. The ODU1, ODU2, and ODU3 rates are 239/238, 239/237, and 239/236 times 2 488 320 kbit/s, 9 953 280 kbit/s, and 39 813 120 kbit/s, respectively. The ODUk bit-rate tolerances are $\pm 20$ ppm. This appendix shows that each justification scheme can accommodate these bit rates and tolerances for the respective mappings, and also derives the range of justification (stuff) ratio for each mapping. + +The $+1/0/-1$ mapping in clause 17.2 provides for one positive justification opportunity (PJO) and one negative justification opportunity (NJO) in each ODUk frame. The $+2/+1/0/-1$ mapping in clause 19 provides for 2 PJOs and one NJO in each ODUk frame. For the case of ODU multiplexing (i.e., the latter case), the ODUj being mapped will get only a fraction of the full payload capacity of the ODUk. There can be, in general, a number of fixed stuff bytes per ODUj or CBR client. Note that in both mapping cases, there is one stuff opportunity in every ODUk frame. For mapping of a CBR client into ODUk, the CBR client is allowed to use all the stuff opportunities (because only one CBR client signal is mapped into an ODUk). However, for mapping ODUj into ODUk ( $k > j$ ), the ODUj can only use $1/2$ (ODU0 into ODU1), $1/4$ (ODU1 into ODU2 or ODU2 into ODU3) or $1/16$ (ODU1 into ODU3) of the stuff opportunities. The other stuff opportunities are needed for the other clients being multiplexed into the ODUk. + +Traditionally, the justification ratio (stuff ratio) for purely positive justification schemes is defined as the long-run average fraction of justification opportunities for which a justification is done (i.e., for a very large number of frames, the ratio of the number of justifications to the total number of justification opportunities). In the $+1/0/-1$ scheme, positive and negative justifications must be distinguished. This is done by using different algebraic signs for positive and negative justifications. With this convention, the justification ratio can vary at most (for sufficiently large frequency offsets) from $-1$ to $+1$ (in contrast to a purely positive justification scheme, where the justification ratio can vary at most from $0$ to $1$ ). In the case of ODUk multiplexing, the justification ratio is defined relative to the stuff opportunities available for the client in question. Then, the justification ratio can vary (for sufficiently large frequency offsets) from $-1$ to $+2$ . (If the justification ratio were defined relative to all the stuff opportunities for all the clients, the range would be $-1/2$ to $+1$ for multiplexing ODU0 into ODU1, $-1/4$ to $+1/2$ for multiplexing ODU1 into ODU2 and ODU2 into ODU3, and $-1/16$ to $+1/8$ for multiplexing ODU1 into ODU3.) + +Let $\alpha$ represent the justification ratio ( $-1 \leq \alpha \leq 1$ for CBR client into ODUk mapping; $-2 \leq \alpha \leq 1$ for ODUj into ODUk mapping ( $k > j$ )), and use the further convention that positive $\alpha$ will correspond to negative justification and negative $\alpha$ to positive justification (the reason for this convention is explained below). + +Define the following notation (the index $j$ refers to the possible ODU $j$ client being mapped, and the index $k$ refers to the ODU $k$ server layer into which the ODU $j$ or CBR client is mapped): + +$N$ = number of fixed stuff bytes in the OPU $k$ payload area associated with the client in question (note that this is not the total number of fixed stuff bytes if multiple clients are being multiplexed) + +$S$ = nominal STM- $N$ or ODU $j$ client rate (bytes/s) + +$T$ = nominal ODU $k$ frame period(s) + +$y_c$ = client frequency offset (fraction) + +$y_s$ = server frequency offset (fraction) + +$p$ = fraction of OPU $k$ payload area available to this client + +$N_f$ = average number of client bytes mapped into an ODU $k$ frame, for the particular frequency offsets (averaged over a large number of frames) + +Then $N_f$ is given by: + +$$N_f = ST \frac{1 + y_c}{1 + y_s} \quad (\text{I-1})$$ + +For frequency offsets small compared to 1, this may be approximated: + +$$N_f = ST(1 + y_c - y_s) \equiv ST\beta \quad (\text{I-2})$$ + +The quantity $\beta - 1$ is the net frequency offset due to client and server frequency offset. + +Now, the average number of client bytes mapped into an ODU $k$ frame is also equal to the total number of bytes in the payload area available to this client (which is $(4)(3808)p = 15232p$ ), minus the number of fixed stuff bytes for this client ( $N$ ), plus the average number of bytes stuffed for this client over a very large number of frames. The latter is equal to the justification ratio $\alpha$ multiplied by the fraction of frames $p$ corresponding to justification opportunities for this client. Combining this with equation I-1 produces: + +$$ST\beta + \alpha p + 15232p - N \quad (\text{I-3})$$ + +In equation I-3, a positive $\alpha$ corresponds to more client bytes mapped into the ODU $k$ , on average. As indicated above, this corresponds to negative justification. This sign convention is used so that $\alpha$ enters in equation I-3 with a positive sign (for convenience). + +Equation I-3 is the main result. For mapping STM- $N$ (CBR clients) into ODU $k$ , the quantity $p$ is 1. + +The range of stuff ratio may now be determined for mapping STM- $N$ or ODU $j$ clients into ODU $k$ , using equation I-3. In what follows, let $R_{16}$ be the STM-16 rate, i.e., $2.48832 \text{ Gbit/s} = 3.1104 \times 10^8 \text{ bytes/s}$ . + +### Asynchronous mapping of CBR2G5 (2 488 320 kbit/s) signal into ODU1 + +The nominal client rate is $S = R_{16}$ .

Then: + +$$ST = (4)(3824) \frac{238}{239} = 15232 \quad (\text{I-4})$$ + +Inserting this into equation I-3, and using the fact that $N = 0$ (no fixed stuff bytes) for this mapping produces: + +$$\alpha = 15232(\beta - 1) \quad (\text{I-5})$$ + +Since the ODUk and client frequency tolerances are each $\pm 20$ ppm, $\beta$ ranges from 0.99996 to 1.00004.

Then: + +$$ST = (4)(3824) \frac{237}{239} = 15168 \quad (\text{I-7})$$ + +Inserting this into equation I-3, and using the fact that $N = 64$ (number of fixed stuff bytes) for this mapping produces: + +$$\alpha = 15168\beta + 64 - 15232 = 15168(\beta - 1) \quad (\text{I-8})$$ + +As before, the ODUk and client frequency tolerances are $\pm 20$ ppm, and $\beta$ ranges from 0.99996 to 1.00004.

The nominal ODU3 rate is $(239/236)S$ (see clause 7.3). But the nominal ODU3 rate is also equal to $(4)(3824)/T$ . Then: + +$$ST = (4)(3824) \frac{236}{239} = 15104 \quad (\text{I-10})$$ + +Inserting this into equation I-3, and using the fact that $N = 128$ (number of fixed stuff bytes) for this mapping produces: + +$$\alpha = 15104\beta + 128 - 15232 = 15104(\beta - 1) \quad (\text{I-11})$$ + +As before, the ODUk and client frequency tolerances are $\pm 20$ ppm, and $\beta$ ranges from 0.99996 to 1.00004.

The range of frequency offset that can be accommodated is approximately $197$ ppm.

While in principle an ODUflex(GFP) may be of any bit-rate, there were at the time of the introduction of the ODUflex a variety of reasons for recommending particular rates for the ODUflex(GFP,n,k): + +- To encourage a common set of bit-rates which can be expected to be supported by multiple manufacturers. +- To provide the largest amount of bandwidth possible within a given amount of resource (number of tributary slots) independent of the ODUk over which the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) may be routed. +- To maintain the number of tributary slots required if the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) must be rerouted, e.g., during a restoration. +- To satisfy a protocol requirement for ODUflex hitless resizing that a resizable ODUflex(GFP,n,k) must occupy the same number of tributary slots on every ODUk path over which it is carried, and that a resize operation must always add or remove at least one tributary slot. + +#### XI.2 Tributary slot sizes + +ODUflex(GFP,n,k) is mapped via GMP into a certain number of 1.25G tributary slots of a HO OPU2, OPU3, or OPU4. Each of these have different tributary slot sizes: + +$$OPU2\_TS = \frac{238}{237} \times 4 \times STM16 \times \frac{476 \text{ columns}}{3808 \text{ columns}} = 1249409.620 \text{ kbit/s} \pm 20\text{ppm}$$ + +$$OPU3\_TS = \frac{238}{236} \times 16 \times STM16 \times \frac{119 \text{ columns}}{3808 \text{ columns}} = 1254703.729 \text{ kbit/s} \pm 20\text{ppm}$$ + +$$OPU4\_TS = \frac{238}{227} \times 40 \times STM16 \times \frac{47.5 \text{ columns}}{3808 \text{ columns}} = 1301709.251 \text{ kbit/s} \pm 20\text{ppm}$$ + +An ODUflex(GFP,n,2) that occupies 8 or fewer tributary slots may be routed over OPU2, OPU3, or OPU4. The smallest tributary slot that may be encountered along the route of the ODUflex(GFP,n,2) is that of OPU2. Even if the initially selected route does not choose a link of OPU2, the ODUflex(GFP,n,2) should be sized to a multiple of the OPU2 tributary slot size to preserve the possibility to restore the ODUflex(GFP,n,2) over a route that includes OPU2 without changing the size of the ODUflex or the number of tributary slots it occupies. + +An ODUflex(GFP,n,3) that occupies at least 9, but no more than 32 tributary slots may be routed over OPU3 or OPU4. It does not fit over OPU2. Therefore such an ODUflex(GFP,n,3) may be sized to a multiple of the OPU3 tributary slot size. Even if the initially selected route does not choose a link of OPU3, the ODUflex(GFP,n,3) should be sized to a multiple of the OPU3 tributary slot size to preserve the possibility to restore the ODUflex(GFP,n,3) over a route that includes OPU3 without changing the size of the ODUflex or the number of tributary slots it occupies. + +An ODUflex(GFP,n,4) that occupies at least 33, but no more than 80 tributary slots may only be carried via OPU4, and may therefore take advantage of the full size of the OPU4 tributary slot size. + +A small margin must be left between the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) size and the integral multiple of the tributary slot size to accommodate possible clock variation along a sequence of OPUk links without overflowing the range of $C_m$ in the GMP mapper. + +Physical layers for data interfaces such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel have historically used a clock tolerance of $\pm 100$ ppm. This range is sufficiently wide that specifying this as the clock tolerance for ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) can accommodate a variety of mechanisms for generating an ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) clock and remain within the clock tolerance range. + +ODUk.ts as shown in Table 7-8 is an increment of bandwidth, which, when multiplied by a number of 1.25G tributary slots, gives the recommended size of an ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) optimized to occupy a given number of tributary slots of a server OPUk. These values are chosen to allow sufficient margin that allows the OPUk and the ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) to independently vary over their full clock tolerance range without exceeding the capacity of the allocated tributary slots. + +The nominal values for ODUk.ts are chosen to be 186 ppm below the bandwidth of a single 1.25G tributary slot of a server OPUk. This allows the ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) clock to be as much as 100 ppm above its nominal rate and the server OPUk to be as much as 20 ppm below its nominal clock rate, allowing approximately 66 ppm of margin to accommodate jitter and to ensure that the largest average $C_m$ value even in the worst-case situation of the OPUk at -20 ppm from its nominal value and the ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) at +100 ppm from its nominal value will be one less than the maximum value (i.e., the maximum average $C_m$ is no more than 15231 out of 15232 for ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) carried over OPU2 or OPU3, and no more than 15199 out of 15200 for ODUPflex(GFP,n,k) carried over OPU4). + +**Table XI.1 – Generation of ODUflex(GFP,n,k) clock from server OPUk clock using fixed $C_m$** + +| OPUk | Nominal payload bit rate | Nominal 1.25G TS bit rate | ODU2.ts | | | | | | +|------|--------------------------|---------------------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------| +| | | | $C_m$ out of | Bit-rate per TS | | | | | +| OPU2 | 9'995'276.962 | 1'249'409.620 | 15230 | 1'249'245.570 | ODU3.ts | | | | +| | | | 15232 | | | | | | +| OPU3 | 40'150'519.322 | 1'254'703.729 | +20 ppm | 1'249'270.555 | $C_m$ out of | Bit-rate per TS | | | +| | | | -20 ppm | 1'249'220.585 | | | | | +| | | | 15165 | 1'249'184.746 | 15230 | 1'254'538.983 | ODU4.ts | | +| | | | 15232 | | 15232 | | | | +| OPU4 | 104'355'975.330 | 1'301'709.251 | +20 ppm | 1'249'209.729 | | 1'254'564.074 | $C_m$ out of | Bit-rate per TS | +| | | | -20 ppm | 1'249'159.762 | | 1'254'513.892 | | | +| | | | 14587 | 1'249'212.687 | 14649 | 1'254'522.291 | 15198 | 1'301'537.974 | +| | | | 15200 | | 15200 | | 15200 | | +| | | | +20 ppm | 1'249'237.671 | | 1'254'547.381 | | 1'301'564.004 | +| | | | -20 ppm | 1'249'187.703 | | 1'254'497.200 | | 1'301'511.943 | +| | | ODUk.ts | nominal | 1'249'177.230 | | 1'254'470.354 | | 1'301'467.133 | +| | | | +100 ppm | 1'249'302.148 | | 1'254'595.801 | | 1'301'597.280 | +| | | | -100 ppm | 1'249'052.312 | | 1'254'344.907 | | 1'301'336.986 | + +### XI.3 Example methods for ODUflex(GFP,n,k) clock generation + +#### XI.3.1 Generating ODUflex(GFP,n,k) clock from OPUk clock + +The clock for an ODUflex(GFP,n,k) may be generated from the initial server OPUk over which the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) is carried by setting the value of $C_m$ to a fixed value on the initial segment. Normal GMP processing on subsequent segments avoids the need to couple the server OPUk clocks along the path. + +Table XI-1 illustrates how a clock for an ODUflex(GFP,n,k) occupying $n \times$ ODUk.ts can be derived from the server OPUk clock using a fixed value of $C_m$ in the initial segment of the path. + +For example, for an ODUflex(GFP,n,k) occupying up to 8 tributary slots should be based on ODU2.ts, and therefore have a clock frequency of $n \times 1'249'177.230$ kbit/s $\pm 100$ ppm. This allows the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) to have a frequency of between $n \times 1'249'052.312$ kbit/s and $n \times 1'249'302.148$ kbit/s. + +- If the initial segment over which the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) is carried is an OPU2, a clock in this range can be generated by fixing the value of $C_m$ on the initial segment to 15230, which will result in the ODUflex having a clock of $n \times 1'249'245.570$ kbit/s $\pm 20$ ppm. While the center frequency of this range differs from the nominal value of ODU2.ts, the clock tolerance is narrower, being locked to the OPU2, so the possible clock range is fully within the $\pm 100$ ppm range allowed. +- If the initial segment is an OPU3, the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) of a multiple of ODU2.ts can be generated using a fixed value of $C_m=15165$ on the initial ODU3 segment, which will result in the ODUflex having a clock of $n \times 1'249'184.746$ kbit/s $\pm 20$ ppm, +- If the initial segment is an OPU4, the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) of a multiple of ODU2.ts can be generated using a fixed value of $C_m=14587$ on the initial OPU4 segment, which will result in the ODUflex having a clock of $n \times 1'249'212.687$ kbit/s $\pm 20$ ppm. + +The center frequencies of all of these ODUflex(GFP,n,k) are slightly different, but the resulting ranges for the clocks all fall within the $\pm 100$ ppm window (see Figure XI.1). Fixed $C_m$ for generating ODU3.ts and ODU4.ts from the initial OPUk can similarly be found from this table. + +![Figure XI.1 – Graphical representation of frequency ranges in Table XI.1.

The local clock may be the local server ODUk (or OTUk) clock, the local ODUCn (or OTUCn) clock, or an equipment internal clock of the signal over which the ODUflex is carried through the equipment. + +#### XV.1 Client timing based + +In this method, the clock of the 64B/66B encoded packet client (e.g., FlexE Client) signal is used as reference clock for the generation of the ODUflex(IMP) signal and adjusted by means of a fixed X/Y value, with $X = 239$ and $Y = 238$ . The ODUflex(IMP) bit rate is $239/238 \times$ bit rate of 64B/66B encoded packet client. + +#### XV.2 Local clock based + +In this method, a local clock with a bit rate tolerance of $\pm 20$ ppm is used as reference clock for the generation of the ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) signals. This local clock is the same clock that is used to generate a server ODUk/OTUk or ODUCn/OTUCn or equipment specific server signal over which the ODUflex is carried. The bit rates of the ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) signals generated at the A and Z ends of the trail will be $X_A \pm 20$ ppm and $X_Z \pm 20$ ppm. These two rates do not have to be identical. In the worst case, these two rates could be $[2 \times (100 - 20)] = 160$ ppm apart from each other to comply with the ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) bit rate of $X$ Gbit/s $\pm 100$ ppm, in which $X$ represents the nominal bidirectional bit rate as illustrated in Figure XV.1. + +![Figure XV.1: General ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) bit rate and tolerance diagram. The diagram shows a horizontal line representing the nominal bidirectional rate X. At the left end (A-end), there is a vertical tick mark labeled X_A with a tolerance of ± 20 ppm. At the right end (Z-end), there is a vertical tick mark labeled X_Z with a tolerance of ± 20 ppm. The distance between the X_A and X_Z tick marks is labeled ≤ 160 ppm. Above the line, a double-headed arrow indicates the nominal bidirectional rate X with a tolerance of ≤ (2 × 100) ppm. Below the line, the text 'Nominal TX rate A-end' is under X_A and 'Nominal TX rate Z-end' is under X_Z.

The diagram shows a horizontal line representing the nominal bidirectional rate X. At the left end (A-end), there is a vertical tick mark labeled X\_A with a tolerance of ± 20 ppm. At the right end (Z-end), there is a vertical tick mark labeled X\_Z with a tolerance of ± 20 ppm. The distance between the X\_A and X\_Z tick marks is labeled ≤ 160 ppm. Above the line, a double-headed arrow indicates the nominal bidirectional rate X with a tolerance of ≤ (2 × 100) ppm. Below the line, the text 'Nominal TX rate A-end' is under X\_A and 'Nominal TX rate Z-end' is under X\_Z. To the right of the line, the text 'ODUflex (GFP) bit rate' and 'ODUflex (IMP) bit rate' are shown. + +Figure XV.1 – General ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) bit rate and tolerance + +In a first instance, the clock of the server ODU is used as reference clock to generate the ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) clock rate and adjusted by means of a fixed $C_m$ value, similar to the case of ODUflex(GFP,n,k), or of two alternating $C_m$ values $X/X+1$ (similar to the case of ODUflex(FlexE Aware)). + +NOTE 1 – The main difference between the ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) clock rate and the ODUflex(GFP,n,k) clock rate is that this latter rate is the maximum rate that can be supported by M 1.25G OPUk tributary slots whereas the first clock rate is just the rate that is sufficient to carry the packet client signal in a GFP-F frame stream or in a 64B/66B encoded signal. + +In a second instance, the bit rate of an ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) signal may be generated by means of a local clock circuit that multiplies a local free run clock rate with an Register1/Register2 multiplier of which the value of Register1 is configured via a first N-bit register and the value of Register2 is configured via a second N-bit register so that the ODUflex(GFP) and ODUflex(IMP) bit rate is equal to $\text{Register1/Register2} \times \text{Datapath\_Width} \times \text{System\_Clock rate}$ , with $N \geq 16$ . The Register1/Register2 value is related to the agreed bandwidth of the packet client signal (i.e., $238/239 \times \text{Register1/Register2}$ ). For the case of ODUflex(IMP), this clock is also provided to the packet client as reference clock for the generation of the 64B/66B encoded signal to restrict the difference in bit rate of the 64B/66B encoded packet client and the bandwidth of the OPUflex(IMP)\_Payload to a value that is within the range that IMP can address. + +NOTE 2 – ODUflex(GFP,n,k) signals can be supported by ODUflex(GFP) signals; for example for the case of a $\text{Datapath\_Width} \times \text{System\_Clock rate}$ being equal to $99.5328 \text{ Gbit/s} \pm 20 \text{ ppm}$ the ODUflex(GFP,n,k=2) is supported by e.g., ODUflex(GFP, *REG1*= $n \times 28$ , *REG2*=2231), the ODUflex(GFP,n,k=3) is supported by e.g., ODUflex(GFP, *REG1*= $n \times 35$ , *REG2*=2777), and the ODUflex(GFP,n,k=4) is supported by e.g., ODUflex(GFP, *REG1*= $n \times 44$ , *REG2*=3365). + +NOTE 3 – ODUflex(IMP,s) signals can be supported by ODUflex(IMP) signals; for example for the case of a $\text{Datapath\_Width} \times \text{System\_Clock rate}$ being equal to $99.5328 \text{ Gbit/s} \pm 20 \text{ ppm}$ the ODUflex(IMP,s) is supported by e.g., ODUflex(IMP, *REG1*= $s \times 9$ , *REG2*=173). + +## Bibliography + +-

The tree format specified in [IETF RFC 8340] is used for the YANG data model tree representation. The YANG data models specified in this Recommendation conform to the network management datastore architecture specified in [IETF RFC 8342]. + +The PTP telecom profile YANG data model, as defined in this clause, augments the PTP YANG data model, as defined in [IETF RFC 8575], to manage PTP instances which are compliant with the ITU-T telecom profiles, as outlined in clause 6.1. + +Since the PTP YANG data model defined in [IETF RFC 8575] supports only the management of the PTP implementations based on the [IEEE 1588-2008] version, the PTP telecom profile YANG data model, defined in this Recommendation, supports only the management of the PTP telecom profile implementations which are based on the [IEEE 1588-2008] version. + +Since the PTP YANG data model, as defined in [IETF RFC 8575], has a broader scope than the management of the ITU-T PTP telecom profile instances, Annex B provides some guidelines on how the PTP YANG data model shall be used to manage the ITU-T PTP telecom profile instances. + +The YANG model of this Recommendation is translated from the interface-protocol-neutral UML information provided in clause 7.3.

Therefore, manual modifications on the tool-generated yang are necessary. + +## Annex A + +## Management conformance for PTP telecom profiles YANG data models + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +The YANG data models defined in [IETF RFC 8575], [IEEE 1588e-2024] and in this Recommendation defines almost all the data nodes as optional, to accommodate different conformance requirements that depend on the PTP profile being used. + +The only mandatory data nodes in the YANG data modules defined in this Recommendation are those which define which PTP telecom profile and device type apply to a given PTP instance, when it is configured to support any PTP telecom profile. + +The ITU-T PTP telecom profiles Recommendations, which are listed in clause 6.1, define for each dataset members the default value, the value range and the operational conformance (mandatory, optional or not used), which depend on the configured PTP telecom profile and device type. + +### A.1 Configuration of optional YANG data nodes + +With the exception of the PTP telecom profile and device type, all the YANG data nodes which correspond to configurable dataset members are optional to be configured in the running data store. + +When a YANG data node, which corresponds to a configurable and mandatory dataset member, is not configured in the running datastore, the system shall apply the default value, defined for the corresponding dataset member. + +When a YANG data node, which corresponds to a configurable, optional and supported dataset member, is not configured in the running datastore, the system shall apply the default value, defined for the corresponding dataset member. + +NOTE – As required in section 5.3 of [IETF RFC 8342], the system always reports, within the operational datastore, the values in use, regardless of the default value definition. + +When a YANG data node, which corresponds to a configurable, optional and not supported dataset member, is configured in the running datastore, the system shall either reject the configuration and reply with an error message, or accept the configuration, not apply it and reply with a warning message. The warning or the error message shall notify the client that the optional dataset member is not supported by the system. + +When a YANG data node, which corresponds to a configurable and not used dataset member, is configured in the running datastore, the system shall either reject the configuration and reply with an error message, or accept the configuration, not apply it and reply with a warning message. The warning or the error message shall notify the client that the dataset member is not supported by the configured PTP telecom profile. + +When a YANG data node, which corresponds to a configurable dataset member, is configured, in the running datastore, with value outside the range defined for the corresponding dataset member, the system shall reject the configuration and reply with an error message. + +### A.2 Reporting values in the operational datastore + +As required in section 5.3 of [IETF RFC 8342], the system shall always report, within the operational datastore, the values of the YANG data nodes in use. + +Therefore, the system shall report, within the operational datastore, the values of the YANG data nodes, which correspond to mandatory dataset members as well as to optional and supported dataset members. The system shall not report, within the operational datastore, the values of the YANG data + +nodes which correspond to not used dataset members as well as to optional and not supported dataset members. + +The PTP telecom profile implementation shall ensure that the values of the reported YANG data nodes are within the range defined for the corresponding dataset member. + +# Annex B + +## Using the IETF PTP YANG data model for ITU-T PTP telecom profiles + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +The YANG conformance guidelines for PTP telecom profiles provided in Annex A are generic and apply when either the IETF PTP YANG data model, defined in [IETF RFC 8575], or the IEEE PTP-TT YANG data model, defined in [IEEE 1588e-2024], are used, together with the PTP YANG data models, defined in this Recommendation, to manage PTP telecom profiles. + +This annex provides additional guidelines which are applicable only when the IETF PTP YANG data model, defined in [IETF RFC 8575], is used, together with the PTP YANG data models, defined in this Recommendation, to manage PTP telecom profiles. + +The PTP YANG data model in [IETF RFC 8575] defines some default values, using YANG default statements, which differ from the default values defined for the corresponding dataset members by the ITU-T PTP telecom profile Recommendations. + +It is not appropriate to allow the system to override the default values defined by YANG default statements. It is therefore recommended that an implementation of the PTP telecom profile YANG data model does not implement the YANG default statements within the PTP YANG data model, defined in [IETF RFC 8575], and reports this using the YANG deviation statements, as defined in section 5.6.3 of [IETF RFC 7950]. + +Since section 7.20.3 of [IETF RFC 7950] does not allow including YANG deviation statements in standard YANG modules, the definition of these YANG deviation statements is implementation specific. Appendix I provides some guidelines on how deviation statements could be written to report that the YANG default statements in the PTP YANG data model, defined in [IETF RFC 8575], are not implemented. + +Moreover, the PTP YANG data model in [IETF RFC 8575], and its augmentations in this Recommendation, support write operations for some attributes which corresponds to static or dynamic dataset members. + +When a writable YANG data node, which corresponds to a static or dynamic dataset member, is configured in the running datastore, the system shall reject the configuration and reply with an error message, notifying the client that the static or dynamic dataset members are not configurable. + +## Appendix I + +## **YANG deviation example for the PTP YANG data model** + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +Annex B recommends that an implementation of the PTP telecom profile YANG data model, as defined in clause 8.1.1, also reports, using YANG deviation statements, that the YANG default statement of the PTP YANG data model, defined in [IETF RFC 8575], are not implemented. + +Since section 7.20.3 of [IETF RFC 7950] does not allow including YANG deviation statements in standard YANG modules, the definition of these YANG deviation statements is implementation specific. + +This appendix provides some guidelines on how these deviation statements could be written by providing, as an example, the `itut-ptp-deviation-example` YANG module which only declares that the YANG default statements of the PTP YANG data model, defined in [IETF RFC 8575] are not supported. + +The `itut-ptp-deviation-example` YANG module example (`itut-ptp-deviation-example@2021-09-30.yang`) can be downloaded from [this](#) link. + +# Bibliography + +- [b-Eclipse-Papyrus] Papyrus Eclipse UML Modelling Tool. .

NG-PON2 is a flexible optical fibre access network capable of supporting the bandwidth requirements of mobile backhaul, business and residential services. Furthermore, this Recommendation describes optional configurations, to extend beyond this nominal capacity, as the ITU-T G.989 series of Recommendations allows for multiple upstream and downstream line rates. + +The NG-PON2 wavelength plan is defined to enable the coexistence through wavelength overlay with legacy PON systems (see ITU-T G.989.1). The transmission convergence (TC) layer is based on Recommendation ITU-T G.987.3, with unique modifications for NG-PON2 captured in Recommendation ITU-T G.989.3. The optical network unit (ONU) management and control interface (OMCI) specifications are described in Recommendation ITU-T G.988 for NG-PON2 extensions. + +This Recommendation specifies the characteristics of hybrid time and wavelength division multiplexing (TWDM) channels, referred to as TWDM PON. The characteristics of optional, tunable point-to-point wavelength overlay channels are also described, referred to as point-to-point wavelength division multiplexing (PtP WDM) PON. + +The TWDM PON described in this Recommendation represents a further development from the systems described in the ITU-T G.984 and ITU-T G.987 series of Recommendations. To the greatest extent possible, this Recommendation retains the requirements of ITU-T G.984.1 and ITU-T G.987.1 to ensure maximal reuse of existing technology and compatibility with deployed optical access systems and optical fibre infrastructure. + +Edition 2.0 continues the maintenance and evolution of physical media dependent (PMD) layer specification. + +## History + +| Edition | Recommendation | Approval | Study Group | Unique ID* | +|---------|-----------------------------|------------|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 1.0 | ITU-T G.989.2 | 2014-12-05 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/12097 | +| 1.1 | ITU-T G.989.2 (2014) Amd. 1 | 2016-04-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/12556 | +| 1.2 | ITU-T G.989.2 (2014) Amd. 2 | 2017-08-13 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13292 | +| 2.0 | ITU-T G.989.2 | 2019-02-06 | 15 | 11.1002/1000/13745 | + +## Keywords + +NG-PON2, TWDM-PON, PtP WDM-PON + +--- + +\* To access the Recommendation, type the URL in the address field of your web browser, followed by the Recommendation's unique ID.

This method is used in the PMD tables appearing in clause 11. An alternative informative optical parameter specification method is in reference to the S/R point for channel pair (S/R-CP reference point of Figure 6-1). The alternative method is applicable in the situations when the primary reference point, S/R-CG, is not practical or not accessible for performing measurements or it is desirable to provide a simple sensitivity specification to an OLT transceiver vendor. The informative optical parameters specification referenced to S/R-CP point (which are consistent with the primary method and are based on industry best practices with respect to the WM loss parameters) are given in Appendix XI. + +Each ONU in Figure 6-1 is equipped with a tunable transmitter and a tunable receiver. The tunable ONU transmitter must be able to adjust to the allocated upstream TWDM or PtP WDM wavelength channels within the bands specified in Table 9-1. The tunable ONU receiver must be able to adjust to the allocated downstream TWDM or PtP WDM wavelength channels within the bands specified in Table 9-1. + +This Recommendation specifies a minimum of four, with extension up to eight, TWDM channels. A minimum of four PtP WDM channels is supported with a maximum not specified. The number of wavelength channels supported by a given equipment implementation or network instance is not specified; however the optical parameter tables should be consulted for the specific assumptions made for the parameters given. + +The architecture can be extended to support multiple OLTs on a common ODN for other purposes such as pay-as-you-grow deployment and spectral flexibility. + +## 6.1 Physical grouping of logical functions + +The logical functions identified in Figure 6-1 for NG-PON2 could be considered to be individual physical items, or fully integrated into a single device. + +## 6.2 ODN optical path loss (OPL) classes + +ODN optical path loss classes (ODN classes) are specified in Table 6-1. + +The optical path loss for each class is specified between the S/R-CG and R/S reference points.

The NG-PON2 wavelength plan is specified to enable the coexistence through wavelength overlay with legacy PON systems, see [ITU-T G.989.1]. + +Shared spectrum allows full coexistence with G-PON, XG-PON1, radio frequency (RF) video overlay and TWDM. The expanded spectrum option of PtP WDM PON supports spectral flexibility as described in clause 9.2 of [ITU-T G.989.1].

NOTE 1 – This Recommendation specifies PtP WDM PON anywhere in the spectrum identified in Table 9-1, subject to spectrum otherwise being used. Whenever a particular subset of the spectrum in either band is unused by TWDM PON and/or legacy systems, PtP WDM PON is permitted to make use of that particular sub-band in upstream and/or downstream direction. However, the isolation requirements to the TWDM PON and/or legacy systems must be considered when determining the expanded spectrum wavelengths to be occupied by PtP WDM PON.

NOTE 2 – When TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON are both present, wavelength channels of both technologies may occupy adjacent wavelength bands; however, TWDM and PtP WDM channels must not be interleaved. The required guard band between TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON is a minimum of 3 nm when using separate mux/demux devices. In the shared spectrum case, the PtP WDM PON upstream channels use the shorter wavelengths in the shared spectrum. When a single device is used to multiplex PtP WDM PON and TWDM PON, the required guard band is a minimum of 100 GHz.

| | | | + +The selection of the operating band option in the PtP WDM PON sub-bands depends on the coexistence requirements. In the expanded spectrum case, DWDM grids as specified in [ITU-T G.694.1] or [ITU-T G.698.3] can be used. + +## **9.3 Physical media dependent layer requirements** + +This clause contains the PMD layer specifications that are common to both TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON. Unique specifications for TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON are contained in respective clauses and annexes of this Recommendation. + +#### **9.3.1 Physical media and transmission method** + +##### **9.3.1.1 Transmission medium** + +This Recommendation is based on the fibre described in [ITU-T G.652]. Other fibre types compatible with this Recommendation, e.g., [ITU-T G.657], may be used for indoor cabling and/or drop section. + +##### **9.3.1.2 Transmission direction** + +Signals are transmitted both upstream and downstream through the optical transmission medium of the ODN. + +##### **9.3.1.3 Transmission method** + +Bidirectional transmission is accomplished by use of a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technique on a single fibre. + +#### **9.3.2 Minimum extinction ratio** + +The minimum extinction ratio (ER) is specified in logarithmic form and is expressed in decibels as a positive number. To satisfy the requirement, a component or device must meet or exceed the specified ratio. + +To measure signal ER at a single-channel reference point (S/R-CP or R/S) the configuration shown in Figure B.1 of [ITU-T G.957] can be used directly. In the case of measurements at the multichannel reference point (S/R-CG), channel isolation is performed with a reference optical bandpass filter (as described in [ITU-T G.959.1], Annex B) before applying this filter output to the configuration shown in Figure B.1 of [ITU-T G.957]. + +#### **9.3.3 Maximum reflectance of equipment, measured at the transmitter wavelength** + +The maximum reflectance of equipment at S/R-CG or R/S reference point, measured at the transmitter wavelength, specified as a ratio less than one and is expressed in decibels.

To satisfy the requirement, the transmitter must operate without performance degradation in the presence of the optical reflections at or below the specified tolerance level. + +This parameter is shown in [ITU-T G.984.2] as "Tolerance to the transmitter incident light power". + +#### **9.3.5 Optical path between S/R and R/S** + +##### **9.3.5.1 Attenuation range** + +The optical power parameters are specified for four distinct ODN optical path loss classes in clause 6.2. Each class is specified by its respective minimum and maximum optical path loss between the S/R-CG and R/S reference points. The attenuation range is the difference between the maximum and minimum optical path loss in each class. + +##### **9.3.5.2 Minimum optical return loss** + +The minimum optical return loss (ORL) is specified as a ratio greater than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must meet or exceed the specified ratio. + +##### **9.3.5.3 Maximum discrete reflectance between points S and R** + +The maximum discrete reflectance is the maximum value of reflectance of any single discrete element in the ODN. The value specified in this Recommendation is lower than $-35$ dB, also see [ITU-T G.982]. + +##### **9.3.5.4 Dispersion** + +Maximum values of dispersion (ps/nm) are specified in Tables 11-4 to 11-7 for TWDM PON and Tables A.2 to A.7 for PtP WDM PON. These values are consistent with the maximum optical path penalties (OPPs) specified. They take into account the worst-case fibre dispersion coefficient over the operating wavelength band. + +#### **9.3.6 Receiver at reference point R** + +All parameters are specified as follows, in accordance with Tables 11-4 to 11-7 for TWDM PON and Tables A.2 to A.7 for PtP WDM PON. + +##### **9.3.6.1 Receiver sensitivity** + +The receiver sensitivity is specified as a power level and is expressed in decibels relative to 1 mW. To satisfy the requirement, a component or device must be qualified at or below the specified power level. + +##### **9.3.6.2 Receiver overload** + +The receiver overload is specified as a power level and is expressed in decibels relative to 1 mW. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must be qualified at or above the specified power level. + +##### **9.3.6.3 Maximum optical path penalty** + +The optical path penalty is specified as a ratio greater than one and is expressed in decibels. The optical link budget for a particular ODN optical loss class is satisfied, only if the difference between the minimum transmitter mean launch optical power (in decibels relative to 1 mW) and the receiver + +sensitivity (in decibels relative to 1 mW) is equal to or exceeds the sum of the maximum OPP (in decibels) and the maximum optical path loss (in decibels) specified for the given ODN optical loss class. + +##### **9.3.6.4 Maximum reflectance measured at the receiver wavelength** + +The maximum reflectance of equipment at S/R-CG or R/S reference point, measured at the receiver wavelength, is specified as a ratio less than one and is expressed in decibels. To satisfy the requirement, a component/device must not exceed the specified ratio. + +##### **9.3.6.5 Clock extraction capability** + +Conventional clock extraction applies for continuous data transmission, i.e., as used for TWDM PON downstream and PtP WDM PON in both directions. + +For TDMA burst mode transmission, the clock of the upstream transmission signal is extracted rapidly from several alternating bits in the preamble. The clock extracted from the preamble is maintained at least during reception of the signal from the delimiter through the end of the upstream assigned burst, or is continuously extracted from the signal after the preamble during reception of the assigned burst. + +##### **9.3.6.6 Consecutive identical digit immunity** + +The consecutive identical digit (CID) immunity is specified as a bit pattern length. To satisfy the requirement, the system must meet or exceed the specified length. + +##### **9.3.6.7 Transmission quality and error performance** + +The bit error ratio reference level describes the quality of the transmission system. The BER reference level is specified for performing measurements of the receiver sensitivity and overload. A compliant system provides BER equal to or better than the specified value. + +#### **9.3.7 Tunable characteristics for transmitter and receiver** + +A key feature of NG-PON2 is the ability to tune the ONU transmitter and receiver. In the OLT to ONU downstream direction, a tunable ONU receiver is required to select the proper wavelength channel. In the ONU to OLT upstream direction, the ONU transmitter is tuned to emit at the desired wavelength channel. There are two characteristics of tunable transmitter/receiver; channel control and wavelength control. For wavelength control, two types of mechanisms are allowed; one requires OLT and ONU interaction to manage the wavelength, the other requires the ONU to be in complete control of the wavelength. + +The mechanisms of the tuning process are outside the scope of this Recommendation. Note that the specifications in the optical interface parameter tables in clause 11 and Annex A must be met throughout the tuning process to avoid any rogue behaviour. + +The central frequency, spectral excursion, channel spacing (CS) and tuning characteristics are specified in the respective clauses and annexes of this Recommendation. This Recommendation classifies the wavelength channel tuning time of a receiver or transmitter into three classes. These classes may enable different use cases, but the definition of the use cases are outside the scope of this Recommendation. + +**Table 9-2 – Classes of transmitter/receiver wavelength channel tuning times** + +| | | +|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Class 1 | < 10 $\mu\text{s}$ , any channel to any channel | +| Class 2 | 10 $\mu\text{s}$ to 25 ms, any channel to any channel | +| Class 2R1 | 10 $\mu\text{s}$ to 25 ms, any channel to a channel not more than 100 GHz away | +| Class 2R2 | 10 $\mu\text{s}$ to 25 ms, any channel to a channel not more than 200 GHz away | +| Class 3 | 25 ms to 1 s, any channel to any channel | + +#### 9.3.8 Minimum side mode suppression ratio + +The minimum side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) is specified in logarithmic form and is expressed in decibels as a positive number. To satisfy the requirement, the component/device must meet or exceed the specified ratio. + +SMSR is measured on the laser output, before any filtering. This prevents a significant mode partition noise penalty. Other limitations on out-of-band (OOB)/out-of-channel (OOC) power still apply to the equipment interface. + +#### 9.3.9 Out-of-channel power spectral density mask + +The OOC-PSD must not exceed certain levels that depend on the optical frequency offset from the nominal channel central frequency ( $f_0$ ). These limits are depicted in Figure 9-1, in terms of the specified CS and the specified maximum spectral excursion (MSE). OOC2 is the limit within the $\pm \text{MSE}$ interval of each channel, and OOC1 is the limit in between those intervals. A transmitter must comply with the mask when it is tuned anywhere within its MSE. The details of the mask near the band edges are further discussed in App. VIII.5. + +![Figure 9-1: OOC-PSD mask definition diagram. The diagram shows a power spectral density mask with a central peak at f0. The peak has a width of ± MSE and a maximum power level of Pmax - 15 dB (0.01 nm resolution). The mask is defined by two levels, OOC1 and OOC2, which are constant within the ± MSE intervals of each channel. The horizontal axis is frequency, with markers for f2, f1, f0, f1, and f2. The vertical axis represents power spectral density. The mask is symmetric around f0. The distance between the centers of adjacent channels is CS. The distance from the center of a channel to the edge of its ± MSE interval is MSE. The distance from the edge of one channel's ± MSE interval to the center of the next channel is CS/2.

However, NG-PON2 is a multi-wavelength architecture and as such, the NG-PON2 wavelength channels not intended for a particular receiver (either at the ONU or at the OLT) can be considered interfering signals. This clause specifies X/S characteristics for both the ONU and the OLT. It is anticipated that the ONU will provide X/S filtering directly at the ONU's receiver; whereas X/S filtering at the OLT will likely be external to the OLT receiver, or + +in combination with the receiver. In any case, this Recommendation specifies only the X/S filtering needed and leaves the method of obtaining that X/S to the implementers of this Recommendation. + +As NG-PON2 is a multi-wavelength system, interfering signals may derive from other NG-PON2 wavelength channels. In the case of the ONU, interfering signals may also derive from coexisting legacy systems such as G-PON, XG-PON1, RF video overlay and maintenance wavelengths from optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). To minimize the effect of interfering signals, NG-PON2 receivers need to reject them using an appropriate wavelength filtering. This Recommendation does not specify the isolation characteristics of the wavelength filtering directly, but specifies the X/S tolerance of the NG-PON2 receiver1. Here, S is the optical power of an individual wavelength channel within an aggregate NG-PON2 signal, and X is that of the aggregated interfering signals, consisting of legacy signals and other NG-PON2 wavelength channels. Both are measured at the receiver reference point R, corresponding to the IF reference points specified in Figure 6-1. + +The interfering signal format for measuring X/S tolerance is a non-return to zero (NRZ) pseudo-random code with the same line rate as the target NG-PON2 signal. In the case of both TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON, eight channels are considered the worst-case configuration. + +The wavelength filtering is divided into two parts: a wideband X/S, based on legacy system considerations and a narrowband X/S based on the NG-PON2 wavelength channels. + +### 10.1 Wideband X/S tolerance mask definition + +This clause describes the generic X/S tolerance of NG-PON2 devices. It makes no assumption about additional services using the wavelength band specified in this Recommendation. + +#### 10.1.1 Wideband ONU X/S tolerance + +Figure 10-1 shows the generic PON X/S tolerance mask that allows the NG-PON2 ONU receiver to meet its sensitivity requirements in the presence of legacy systems. Implementers need to specify the isolation characteristics of the wavelength filters to obtain enough isolation of the interfering signal(s). The wavelengths and total optical power of all additional services must fall beneath the mask of Figure 10-1 to allow coexistence with NG-PON2 ONUs. + +![Figure 10-1: X/S tolerance mask for TWDM PON ONU.

This device must have sufficient isolation to allow the OLT to operate within specifications. As the CE is not part of the OLT equipment, there are no requirements on the OLT equipment for wideband X/S tolerance. + +## 10.2 Narrowband TWDM PON X/S tolerance mask + +The narrowband TWDM PON X/S mask is shown in Figure 10-2, using the particular value tables as given below. The TWDM-PON self-interference configuration is common to both the ONU and OLT. This configuration of one desired wavelength and 14 potentially interfering wavelengths is devised to approximate the worst-case crosstalk situation. Of the 14 interference locations, only seven contiguous points will be populated at any one time. That is to say, if the central frequency is on channel C (C being of the value one through eight), the shortest wavelength interferer would be at channel one and the longest wavelength interferer would be on channel eight. The receiver is required to have its specified sensitivity for the desired signal over the wavelength band $\lambda_{S-}$ to $\lambda_{S+}$ , despite the fact that the seven interferers are present with power level X and modulated with a TWDM PON signal format of the same rate as the signal channel. + +#### 10.2.1 Narrowband ONU X/S tolerance mask + +In addition to the TWDM interferers, there are an assumed eight PtP WDM interferers, both downstream and upstream. The upstream interference channels (which result from the potential for a 32 dB ORL in the ODN) have a power level Y and modulated with an NRZ signal at a similar data rate as the signal channel. The downstream interference channels have a power level Z and are modulated with an NRZ signal at the similar data rate as the signal channel. + +The parameters of the downstream mask are given in Table 10-1. + +![Figure 10-2 – X/S tolerance mask for TWDM PON.

NOTE 8 – See OOC-PSD mask in clause 9.3.9. These values are based on the following assumptions: 1 dB US OOC penalty, TWDM PON operates with FEC, and four or eight TWDM channels (three or seven interferers), respectively. In some implementations, this requirement may be achieved by more tightly regulating the Tx output power (lowering the maximum level while maintaining the minimum level).
NOTE 9 – This value is based on the following assumptions: 0.1 dB penalty, TWDM PON operates with FEC, and 64 TWDM PON ONUs in one channel (63 interferers).
NOTE 10 – The specified penalty takes into account the class-specific Tx power, distance, and number of wavelengths. The maximum OPP values assume no SR-/CG located splitters and low optical fibre loss, resulting in the worst case Raman effect. ODNs that include high loss elements near the OLT or higher loss optical cable will exhibit lower penalties.

NOTE 16 – The definition of In-band crosstalk tolerance and its implication on receiver sensitivity is defined in clause 3.2.2.10 of [ITU-T G.989].
NOTE 17 – If the actual OPP is worse than the specified value, it must be compensated by increasing the transmitter mean launch power minimum specification by X dB for each X dB of extra OPP allowance, where $X < 1.5$ dB, while meeting all other Tx specifications. High penalty operation poses some risks, and PMD interoperability testing should be employed to measure the actual OPP with a receiver subject to in-band crosstalk as specified elsewhere in this table. To avoid system operation in very high penalty regimes, this note is only applicable to the DD20 fibre distance class.

The AMCC must be compatible with the TWDM PON and PtP WDM PON specifications in this Recommendation's main body and Annex A. + +## B.1 Introduction + +In the PtP WDM PON part of NG-PON2, a so-called auxiliary management and control channel is needed in order to convey wavelength assignment and allocation information and OAM data. The AMCC is added to each individual wavelength in both, downstream and upstream direction. Two different physical-layer implementations of the AMCC exist. These determine the way the AMCC content is transported over the physical channel. The content of the AMCC is independent of the way it is transmitted and is described in clause 6 and Annex G of [ITU-T G.989.3]. + +For the case that the PtP WDM PON system has to transparently transport a payload bitstream, without terminating any part of its frame structure, the AMCC has to be added to the payload at the same wavelength with only minor interference of the AMCC and the payload data. This case is called *transparent AMCC*. The framed AMCC data is added to the payload with low-modulation-index baseband over-modulation (i.e., a low-frequency amplitude modulation which is superimposed to the (amplitude) modulation of the payload bitstream). Alternatively, electrical-addition of amplitude-modulated signal with low-frequency carrier to the payload, called RF-pilot-tone-style, can be employed for accommodating the framed AMCC data. The detection of the baseband-overmodulation-based AMCC can (for example) be done by low-pass filtering of the detected payload signal and passing the amplified resulting signal into a simple threshold detector. The RF-pilot-tone-style AMCC can (for example) be detected by simple digital signal processing offering the functions of band-pass filtering, down-conversion and symbol decision. + +In the case that the PtP WDN PON system converts the payload data encoding from one to another, the AMCC data can be transmitted by means of code transformation. This case is called *transcoding AMCC* and is described in Annex G of [ITU-T G.989.3]. + +## B.2 Transparent AMCC + +### B.2.1 Baseband overmodulation + +The physical transport layer for the overmodulation-based AMCC is realized as a low-bitrate, low-modulation-index baseband amplitude over-modulation over the optical PtP payload signal.

On the OLT side, downstream wavelengths are multiplexed onto a shared, bidirectional fibre connecting the wavelength multiplexer (WM) to a branching node. Figure C.1 shows a logical view of a PtP WDM PON based on wavelength routed ODN, which is one of the optional use cases of NG-PON2. The wavelength-routed PtP WDM PON (WR PtP WDM PON) has the $\lambda$ selection function as part of the branching node. The ONU's wavelength is determined by its physical connectivity to the ODN, for example by a port on an AWG. + +Examples of PtP WDM PON clients include GbE, 10GbE and CPRI. The OLT channel pair may also exist in multiple instances, particularly to support different client types. + +At a branching node (BN), the ODN branches out to drop fibres, one for each ONU. The BN may include any combination of power splitters, bandpass or bandstop filters, or wavelength filters (e.g., AWGs). In the specific case of wavelength-routed PtP WDM PON, a wavelength selection function is required in the branching node, one wavelength per direction for each drop fibre. + +![Figure C.1: Logical architecture of wavelength routed PtP WDM PON. The diagram shows multiple PtP WDM OLT CTs (CT1, CT2, ..., CTn) connected to a Wavelength Multiplexer (WM) via S/R-CP interfaces. The WM is connected to an Optical Distribution Network (ODN) via an S/R-CG interface. The ODN connects to a Branching node via an R/S interface. The Branching node has a 'λ selection function' and is connected to multiple PtP WDM ONUs (ONU1, ONU2, ..., ONUn) via drop fibres labeled λ1, λ2, ..., λn.

The WM is connected to an Optical Distribution Network (ODN) via an S/R-CG interface. The ODN connects to a Branching node via an R/S interface. The Branching node has a 'λ selection function' and is connected to multiple PtP WDM ONUs (ONU1, ONU2, ..., ONUn) via drop fibres labeled λ1, λ2, ..., λn. Vertical dashed lines separate the OLT side, the S/R-CG interface, the ODN, and the R/S interface. + +G.989.2(14)-Amd.1(16)\_FC.1 + +**Figure C.1 – Logical architecture of wavelength routed PtP WDM PON** +(one use case in the NG-PON2 system) + +## C.1 PMD layer requirements + +All parameters are specified as follows, and are in accordance with Table C.3 to Table C.8. + +All parameter values specified are worst-case values, to be met over the range of operating conditions such as temperature and humidity, and include ageing effects, as specified in clause 9.9 of [ITU-T G.989.1].

This levelling can be initiated by the OLT, or managed completely by the ONU. The ONU can activate at its highest attenuation level, gradually adjusting its attenuation level to achieve steps of higher mean launch power, until the ONU initially ranges on the PON. In this annex, the focus is on ONU autonomous optical power levelling, providing an example of how it can be used. + +## D.2 Power levelling (PL) mechanism at ONU transmitter + +The introduction of multi-wavelengths in PON, in combination with the large differential optical path loss of the ODN, results in several difficult to meet optical parameters, namely: + +- 1) Out of band PSD +- 2) Out of channel PSD +- 3) Wavelength multiplexer isolation +- 4) OLT receiver overload + +While a number of potential mechanisms exist to meet the various parameters, the use of PL is able to mitigate all of these effects with a single mechanism. However, to obtain the latter two benefits of WM isolation and OLT receiver overload relaxation all ONUs on the ODN must employ the same PL mechanism. Described in this Annex are the details of the mechanism which shall be used if PL is applied. + +PL can be realized in at least two different ways. First, the laser current can be adjusted to achieve a modest reduction in optical out, but only in the main mode of the laser (i.e., broadband side mode and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) power are not impacted). As a result, this mechanism is only useful in addressing WM isolation and OLT Rx overload. A second approach is the use of a variable optic attenuator (VOA) function that attenuates all of the light from the ONU transmitter which then addresses all four of the optical parameters listed above. This annex focuses on using the VOA method to control PL. + +Further, the PL mechanism can also be realized via autonomous and/or directed command mechanisms. + +## D.3 ONU autonomous power levelling + +It is possible for the ONU to autonomously control its output power based on the received signal strength indication (RSSI) value, which is an approximation of the actual received downstream power from the OLT via the ODN. Therefore the RSSI is an approximate indication of the ODN loss. Note that the RSSI includes the variability of the OLT laser power which is 4 dB. However autonomous PL can still be effective in reducing the impact of the ODN dynamic range as long as it does not have to eliminate the entire dynamic range but rather reduce it. The following mechanism for autonomous PL will take advantage of the ITU-T G.989.2 PMD requirements that define the highest allowed optical power expected at the ONU. When the highest optical power is received the ODN should be at minimum allowed attenuation (for a given ODN class) and the OLT Tx power should be at the maximum allowed transmit power (for a given ODN class). If the downstream is at the minimum allowed attenuation then the upstream must also be at the minimum allowed attenuation, except for the difference in the optical attenuation for the upstream vs. downstream + +wavelengths. The differential attenuation due to wavelength difference is well under 1 dB even for a 40 km ODN and is not considered in this annex. + +The following example will examine the relationship between the downstream RSSI and the appropriate PL setting as well as the magnitude of mitigation of the ODN dynamic range that may be obtained autonomously by the ONU using PL. + +Example: + +Tables 11-5 and 11-7 for 10G downstream and upstream type A links contain the following relevant parameters: + +- OOC2 PSD = -45.7 dBm/15 GHz; +- ONU Rx Sensitivity = -28 dBm; +- ONU Rx Overload = -7 dBm; +- ONU Tx Maximum Power = +9 dBm. + +Additionally, Appendix II and Table 6-1, contain, respectively, the following parameters: + +- ONU RSSI accuracy = +/-3 dB; +- ODN maximum differential optical path loss = 15 dB. + +If the ONU RSSI reading were considered absolutely accurate and the reading was -7 dBm this would indicate that the ODN is at the minimum loss with the OLT Tx at maximum power. This would allow the transmitter power to be reduced by 15 dB using PL. However due to the +/-3 dB accuracy error of the RSSI, the allowed PL is reduced by 3 dB to only 12 dB. It is assumed in this analysis that the inaccuracy of the PL attenuation is negligible. As the downstream RSSI decreases, the PL must eventually be reduced until the PL = 0 and the laser reaches full power to ensure minimum upstream optical power is obtained over the entire ODN attenuation range. + +While it is possible to determine the approximate laser power using optical line supervision parameters at the ONU, the tolerance of that reading is no better than the RSSI. So the only useful information available to the ONU is the downstream RSSI and it must be assumed that the ODN loss is increasing rather than the OLT Tx power is decreasing as RSSI falls. + +To avoid falling below the OLT minimum receive power level, the ONU must begin to reduce the PL from 12 dB when the RSSI falls below -7 dBm. + +Assuming the minimum step size is 3 dB the following rules would apply (other steps, for example 1 dB, are also possible): + +- 1) If the ONU RSSI is greater than or equal to -7 dBm, then PL of 12 dB is applied. +- 2) If the ONU RSSI is less than -7 and greater than or equal to -10 dBm, then PL of 9 dB is applied. +- 3) If the ONU RSSI is less than -10 and greater than or equal to -13 dBm, then PL of 6 dB is applied. +- 4) If the ONU RSSI is less than -13 and greater than or equal to -16 dBm, then PL of 3 dB is applied. +- 5) If the ONU RSSI is less than -16 then PL of 0 dB is applied. + +The PL procedure reduces the apparent differential optical path loss of the ODN and, hence, the optical dynamic range at the OLT, at least for ONUs with PL. If all ONUs implement PL then all of the four optical parameters (OOC, OOB, isolation, overload) could be relaxed. However if there is a mix of ONUs with and without PL, then only the PSD requirements (OOC and OOB) will be able to be relaxed for the ONUs employing PL. + +## **D.4 OOC and OOB PSD relaxation** + +The PSD requirements in Tables 11-6 and 11-7 are based on the worst case dynamic range of upstream bursts as received at the S/R-CG point. If the apparent differential optical path loss of the ODN can be reduced, then the PSD levels may be relaxed, for ONUs with PL. + +In this example, it is possible to effectively reduce the apparent differential optical path loss of the ODN by up to 12 dB (15 dB ideal, minus 3 dB accuracy). + +Considering the maximum OOC2 PSD requirement of $-45.7$ dBm/15 GHz and considering that the maximum ONU Tx power is $+9$ dBm then the out of channel side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) requirement without PL is $+9$ dBm $- (-45.7$ dBm) $= 54.7$ dB. Therefore the 12 dB PL allows a relaxation of SMSR to 42.7 dB. Note that OOB PSD benefits in the same way from this technique. + +Upon completion of autonomous PL, the ONU should send a message to the OLT after ranging to indicate it is operating PL mode and the level of PL it is using. + +## **D.5 OLT directed ONU power levelling** + +The directed mode applies only to ONUs that are capable of PL in excess of 12 dB, or if more precise control of PL is needed. If the PL values possible with the ONU autonomous method are insufficient for the laser being used, then an additional 6-9 dB of mitigation is possible via control by the OLT using the mechanisms provided in [ITU-T G.989.3]. + +The directed PL mechanism requires functionalities belonging to the TC layer, such as the ONU capability to increase/reduce the transmitted power on the basis of downstream messages sent by the OLT. Such functionalities, as well as the capability to perform PL during initialization or as well as during operation, are for further study. + +## **D.6 ONU troubleshooting considerations** + +Without power levelling it is possible to determine whether an ONU is transmitting outside of PMD launch power requirements by locally measuring the optical power from the ONU using a PON power meter. For ONUs with PL this becomes somewhat more complicated. Conceivably, one might troubleshoot by measuring both the downstream and upstream powers at the ONU to determine if the ONU is transmitting outside of the range of the PMD tables for ONUs without PL. The downstream optical power measurement could be used to check if it is compliant with the PL rules described above. However, due to the limitations on accuracy of the RSSI reading at the ONU, there is scope for a significant difference in what the PON power meter will be detecting and what the ONU determines is being received. Furthermore, it is possible that, near the cross-over points of the ranges defined in clause D.3, that the insertion loss of the power meter could cause the ONU's RSSI signal to drop to the next range and result in the ONU Tx level being driven 3 dB higher. The above factors should be taken into account by network operators and system designers when designing troubleshooting procedures. + +# Appendix I + +## Wavelength considerations for NG-PON2, XG-PON1, G-PON and RF video overlay distribution services + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +When considering coexistence for NG-PON2, the following legacy PON systems were considered: + +- G-PON; +- RF video overlay; +- XG-PON1; +- OTDR. + +The mapping of these wavelength bands for each system is graphically shown in Figure I.1 to provide an understanding of the considerations when coexisting with NG-PON2. + +![Figure I.1 – NG-PON2 wavelength plan – Coexistence representation.

These are: laser on/off time, timing drift tolerance, level recovery, clock recovery and start of burst delimitation. The exact division of the physical layer time to all these functions is determined partly by constraint equations and partly by implementation choices. This appendix reviews the constraints that the OLT must comply with, and suggests values for the discretionary values. + +The $T_{plo}$ can be divided into three sections with respect to what ONU data pattern is desired. For simplicity, these times can be referred to as the guard time ( $T_g$ ), the preamble time ( $T_p$ ) and the delimiter time ( $T_d$ ). During $T_g$ , the ONU will transmit no more power than the nominal zero level. During $T_p$ , the ONU will transmit a preamble pattern that provides the desired transition density and signal pattern for fast level and clock recovery functions. Lastly, during $T_d$ , the ONU will transmit a special data pattern with optimal autocorrelation properties that enable the OLT to find the beginning of the burst. An additional parameter of the control logic on the PON is the total peak-to-peak timing uncertainty ( $T_u$ ). This uncertainty arises from variations of the time of flight caused by the fibre and component variations with temperature and other environmental factors. Figure III.1 shows the timing relationship between the various physical layer overhead times. Table III.2 gives recommended values for $T_g$ , $T_p$ , $T_d$ and $T_{plo}$ . + +![Timing diagram showing the relationship between various physical layer overhead times (T_plo, T_u, T_on, T_off, T_g, T_p, T_d) between the end of one burst (ONU i) and the beginning of the next (ONU j).](1314748d1fff41b2d57a8ba9e9687c6a_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the timing sequence for a burst transmission. It starts with the 'End of previous burst, ONU i' and ends at the 'Beginning of body, next burst, ONU j'. The total physical layer overhead time is $T_{plo}$ . This is divided into three main sections: guard time ( $T_g$ ), preamble time ( $T_p$ ), and delimiter time ( $T_d$ ). The guard time $T_g$ is the sum of the laser off time ( $T_{off}$ ) and the timing uncertainty ( $T_u$ ). The preamble time $T_p$ is the sum of the laser on time ( $T_{on}$ ) and the timing uncertainty ( $T_u$ ). The delimiter time $T_d$ is the time required for the ONU to find the beginning of the burst. The timing uncertainty $T_u$ is the peak-to-peak timing uncertainty. The diagram also shows the relationship between the end of the previous burst and the start of the next burst, with the laser off time $T_{off}$ and the timing uncertainty $T_u$ being the key components. + +Timing diagram showing the relationship between various physical layer overhead times (T\_plo, T\_u, T\_on, T\_off, T\_g, T\_p, T\_d) between the end of one burst (ONU i) and the beginning of the next (ONU j). + +**Figure III.1 – Timing relationship between the various physical layer overhead times** + +The constraint equations with which the OLT must comply are then: + +$$T_g > T_{on} + T_u, \text{ and}$$ + +$$T_g > T_{off} + T_u$$ + +These equations can be explained as follows. The first equation makes sure that the following burst's laser on ramp-up does not fall on top of the last burst's data. The second equation makes sure that the last burst's laser off tail-off does not fall on top of the following burst's preamble. + +$T_p$ must be sufficient for the physical layer to recover the signal level (essentially, setting the decision threshold) and the signal clock phase. There are many diverse design approaches to these two problems, each with its own benefits and costs. Some designs are very fast, but require an external trigger signal and produce sub-optimal error performance. Other designs are slower, but do not require a reset signal and produce bit errors that are normally distributed. In addition, each of these designs may have special requirements on the data pattern used for the preamble. Some designs prefer a maximum transition density pattern, while others prefer a pattern with a balance of transitions and controlled runs of identical digits. + +Since the design is up to the OLT implementer, the OLT configures the details of the preamble that is transmitted by the ONU. This is part of the burst profile discussion below. + +Td must be long enough to provide a robust delimiter function in the face of bit errors. The error resistance of the delimiter depends on the exact implementation of the pattern correlator, but a simple approximate relationship between the number of bits in the delimiter (N) and the number of bit errors tolerated (E) is: + +$$E = \text{int}(N/4) - 1 \quad (\text{III-1})$$ + +Equation III-1 has been empirically verified by a numerical search of all delimiters of sizes ranging from 8 to 32 bits. This search was performed under the assumption that the preamble pattern was a "1010" repeating pattern, and that the delimiter had an equal number of zeroes and ones. The Hamming distance, D, of the best delimiter from all shifted patterns of itself and the preamble was found to be $D = \text{int}(N/2) - 1$ ; yielding the error tolerance shown. + +Given a certain BER, the probability of a severely errored burst (Pseb) is given by: + +$$Pseb = \binom{N}{E+1} BER^{E+1} \quad (\text{III-2})$$ + +Substituting equation III-1 into equation III-2, the resultant Pseb is given by: + +$$Pseb = \binom{N}{\text{int}(N/4)} BER^{\text{int}(N/4)} \quad (\text{III-3})$$ + +If the BER equals $10^{-4}$ , the resultant Pseb for various delimiter lengths, N, is given in Table III.1. Inspection of this table shows that, in order to effectively suppress this kind of error, the delimiter length must be at least 16 bits long. The choice of delimiter length and pattern is made by the OLT as part of the burst profile. + +**Table III.1 – Probability of a severely errored burst as a function of delimiter length** + +| N | Pseb | +|----|-----------------------| +| 8 | $2.8 \times 10^{-7}$ | +| 12 | $2.2 \times 10^{-10}$ | +| 16 | $1.8 \times 10^{-13}$ | +| 20 | $1.5 \times 10^{-16}$ | +| 24 | $1.3 \times 10^{-19}$ | +| 32 | $1.1 \times 10^{-25}$ | +| 64 | $4.9 \times 10^{-50}$ | + +With these considerations taken into account, the worst case and objective allocations of the physical layer overhead are given in Table III.2. This table also lists the values for the ONU transmitter enable time and transmitter disable time, and the total physical layer overhead time for reference. The worst-case values are intended to provide a reasonable bound for easy implementation, and the objective values are intended to be the design target for more efficient implementation with optimized components. These values are for a simple ODN without reach extenders. Reach extenders may require their own guard and preamble time allowances, making the total overhead larger. + +**Table III.2 – Recommended allocation of burst mode overhead time for TWDM PON OLT functions** + +| | Transmitter enable | Transmitter disable | Total time, $T_{plo}$ | Guard time, $T_g$ | Preamble time, $T_p$ | Delimiter time, $T_d$ | +|-----------------------------------------------------|--------------------|---------------------|-----------------------|-------------------|----------------------|-----------------------| +| 2.48832 Gb/s

(3.2) | + +In addition to the design dependent aspects of the burst overhead, there can be operationally dependent factors. For example, detecting an ONU's ranging burst is a more difficult problem than receiving an ONU's regular transmission. For another example, some ONUs may have higher power and are easier to detect, and therefore do not need FEC. For these reasons, the OLT may request different burst parameters depending on the context. + +The concept of a burst profile captures all the aspects of burst overhead control. A burst profile specifies the preamble pattern and length, the delimiter pattern and length, and whether FEC parity is sent. The OLT establishes one or more burst profiles, and then requests a particular burst profile for each burst transmission. + +The OLT has considerable latitude in setting up the profiles, because the OLT's burst receiver is sensitive to the profile parameters. Therefore, the OLT uses profiles that ensure adequate response in its burst mode receiver. However, some basic requirements from the ONU side must be met. Namely, the preamble and delimiter patterns are balanced and they have a reasonable transition density. If not, the ONU transmitter driver circuitry may be adversely affected. Also note that the preamble and delimiter patterns could differ in each profile, and this difference could be used by the OLT receiver as an in-band indication of the format of each burst (e.g., FEC active or not). + +The details of distributing the burst profiles and signalling their use will be described in the transmission convergence layer specification of the ITU-T G.989 series of Recommendations. + +# Appendix IV + +## **Jitter budget specifications for TWDM PON** + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +See Appendix IV in [ITU-T G.987.2]. + +# Appendix V + +## **Measurement of TWDM PON burst mode acquisition time and burst node eye opening at OLT** + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +See Appendix V in [ITU-T G.987.2] for an example using 2.48832 Gbit/s in the upstream and 9.95328 Gbit/s in the downstream.

Additionally consideration is also given to RF video overlay. + +Nonlinear Raman interaction, i.e., stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), between optical waves propagating in a fibre is a well-known physical phenomenon that can give rise to two major undesirable effects: modulation crosstalk between the signals and power depletion of the signals at shorter wavelengths. The Raman gain spectrum in silica fibre extends to about 50 THz and the effects may be detectable between signals separated by as little as 1 THz or as much as 40 THz, as indicated in the Raman gain curve of Figure VI.1 for [ITU-T G.652] type of fibre. + +![Figure VI.1: Raman gain curve example for ITU-T G.652 type of fibre.

Modulation crosstalk due to Raman interactions only occur between co-propagating optical signals. + +When optical power depletion occurs, signals at shorter wavelengths act as pump sources, i.e., experience power depletion, that amplify signals at longer wavelengths. If the optical power depletion is substantial, the quality of the transmitted information may suffer or the optical link reach may be impacted. Optical power depletion can occur in either co-propagating or counter-propagating waves in the fibre. + +### Mitigation techniques for nonlinear Raman interactions in optical fibres + +Although SRS is an unavoidable natural phenomenon, steps can be taken to minimize its negative impacts on a multi-wavelength optical communication system. Most obvious amongst these is the prudent selection of system wavelengths, optical launch powers and modulation formats. However, the choice of these parameters must be balanced so that other system performance requirements can be achieved as well. A number of SRS mitigation schemes have been proposed to alleviate performance impairments due to design constraints that would result in significant SRS impacts. + +The suggested SRS mitigation schemes include: high pass RF filtering, zero composite degree of polarization (DoP) interferer launch, dedicated transmitter and PSD shaping. + +**High pass RF filtering** of data signals prior to transmission (HighPassRF). The Raman crosstalk on a video RF optical carrier is primarily concerned with the lower frequency band of the RF spectrum of the TV channels. It has been proposed that the high pass filtering of the data modulation will greatly reduce the impairment caused by the SRS crosstalk while maintaining the data integrity (e.g., for a 9.95328 Gbit/s signal, attenuating the modulation spectrum below 200 MHz) With this technique, the significant attenuation of the low frequency components from the offending interferers' modulation spectra, prior to optical transmission, will reduce the RF modulation crosstalk problem and up to a 12 dB reduction in Raman crosstalk might be achievable.

This statistical mixture as a whole appears to any other signal that interacts with it to be un-polarized. The zero composite DoP state also happens to be the state of maximum entropy insofar as polarization is concerned. Therefore, except for some incidental variations due to the optical fibre's polarization mode dispersion, the composite DoP of the mixture will remain very close to zero as the mixture of interferer signals propagates through any span of optical fibre. Hence, the length averaged polarization overlap probability between the mixture of interferers with any other signal, such as the RF video overlay carrier, will remain very close to 0.5 for any fibre span. This implies that, as compared to the highly unlikely case of all the interferer signals being launched in parallel to one another (DoP = 1) and also to the RF video overlay signal (so that the polarization overlap probability is 1.0), the level of SRS crosstalk is 6 dB lower. Then, because of the 2:1 electrical to optical dB relationship, 3 dB more optical power could potentially be launched into the fibre for the zero composite DoP case as compared to the parallel launch 1.0 DoP case. Alternating the polarization states between two orthogonal states is one way of achieving a net weighted Stokes vector of zero. Another way is to arrange the polarization states so that the angle between consecutive Stokes vectors is $360/n$ , where $n$ is the number of interferers in the mixture (this assumes equal weights for the interferers).

When utilized, the OLT laser and WM devices are polarization controlled. In the non-integrated case, the laser is 0 degree aligned to the connector alignment pin and the WM inputs are orthogonally aligned such that channel one is 0 degrees, channel two and channel three are 90 degrees and then alternating thereafter every two channels. Additionally, polarization maintaining fibres must be used between the OLT transmitter and WM. + +**Dedicated Raman crosstalk mitigation optical transmitter (DedicatedTx):** The basic scheme includes the addition to the existing system of a dedicated optical transmitter along with some passive elements at the OLT. The modulation on this dedicated Raman crosstalk suppression transmitter is appropriately prepared by the selection of its wavelength and launch power, and is also electrically modulated with properly polarized composite, yet bandwidth limited (e.g., 100 MHz for a 9.95328 Gbit/s data modulation) reproductions of the offending baseband digital modulation signals. This greatly simplifies the design of the composite modulation conditioning circuitry and also reduces the cost of the equalizer laser transmitter. The system utilizes destructive interference between the individual interferer transmitters' modulations and the terms of the composite modulation imparted upon the equalizer laser transmitter. This will effectively cancel the deleterious Raman crosstalk noise and restore the integrity of the transmitted video information. The proposed solution thereby allows for the coexistence of an optical carrier transporting television channels with co-propagating optical signals that are modulated with baseband digital traffic on the same optical distribution network. Utilizing the Raman crosstalk mitigation technology described here, the video carrier-to-Raman crosstalk ratio (CCR) can potentially be improved by 12 up to 14 dB at the low end of the RF frequency spectrum where the impact of this effect is most damaging. This system is equally effective at cancelling out the Raman crosstalk noise of incoherent or coherently related interferers.

DSP here is understood as a general purpose mechanism for information and symbol processing designated to perform spectrum shaping by appropriate pulse shaping, data rate [b-Kim], line code [b-Al-Qazwini], or modulation schemes. Figure VI.5 shows the impact of these factors on the SRS crosstalk. Figure VI.5 assumes 0 dBm at the receiver. Frequencies up to 300 MHz are the ones more directly affecting the crosstalk in systems with 10 to 20 km reach. + +The pulse repetition rate, related to the data rate, affects the PSD directly influencing the average power and introducing a set of dips in the power spectrum. The first frequency dips usually appear at frequencies related to the data rate. For NRZ, the dips appear at the baud rate frequency, for example, 2.5 Gbaud/s has the first dip at 2.5 GHz. Higher data rates for the same pulse shaping will result in lower PSDs at the lower frequencies and the appearance of the first dip at higher frequencies. + +Line coding can be also used to reshape the spectrum and further change the operational margins as what relates RF video overlay crosstalk. However, this solution usually requires an overhead which will result in bandwidth efficiency loss. + +When designing a system where RF video overlay coexistence is required, the potential impacts of all the above mentioned parameters need to be considered and the required margins may need to be recalculated. With tighter spectral control (done by a window function) and up-conversion (done by shifting the digital baseband signal to an upper spectrum location), the use of spectrum shaping therefore would enable a clearly separated and isolated signal spectrum that does not overlap with + +the spectral interference region of the RF signal, thus mitigating co-propagation Raman crosstalk effects in coexistence scenarios. + +In best practice, the DSP functions used for spectrum shaping can be integrated into current TWDM PON architecture by merging DSP logic into the transmission convergence adaptation sublayer (as shown in Figure VI.6). The DSP logic can be programmable and can be enabled or disabled for backward compatibility with NRZ coding. Moreover, the optics for TWDM PON can also be reused with proper optimization to accommodate such spectrum shaping. Since DSP functions can be flexibly selected and software-defined, many other non-NRZ coding schemes and digital filtering functions can also be supported in this architecture, leading to different levels of performance for particular applications. + +![Figure VI.5: Measured RF spectrum of several data rates, modulation formats and codings.

In order to determine optical level at the S/R-CP point, the loss of WM must be taken into account. Table VIII.1 specifies two classes of loss for the WM, resulting in two different values. OLT transceivers indicate the compatible WM loss class (low or high). WM loss classes are likely to be technology based (e.g., AWG versus thin film filter). + +The following requirements apply to each operating channel of the OLT receive filter (WM): + +- 1) The $(1+X)$ dB filter bandwidth2 must be smaller than $2 \cdot \text{MTE}$ , where $X$ is the transmitter power wavelength dependency. +- 2) The shape of the filter characteristic must be monotonically decreasing (apart from a limited ripple as specified below), on each side with respect to the filter minimum loss point, in the region delimited by the intersections with the adjacent channel filter responses extended by twice the MTE3, as shown in Figure VIII.3. +- 3) The value of any residual ripple in the monotonic region specified above must be less than the OLT receive power measurement resolution. + +Requirement 1 guarantees that any unacceptable (i.e., exceeding the MTE) deviation of the ONU transmitter wavelength, with respect to the filter minimum loss point (nominally the channel centre), can always be revealed at the OLT receiver. + +Requirement 2 guarantees that the wavelength locking and tracking mechanism operation makes the ONU transmitter wavelength always move towards the filter minimum loss point (nominally the channel centre). + +Requirement 3 guarantees that any residual ripple on the receive filter shape causes power variations which are practically unmeasurable at the OLT receiver, hence that it cannot adversely affect the operation of the wavelength locking and tracking mechanism. + +Note that the maximum loss due to imperfect tuning (i.e., when the ONU locks at a distance equal to MTE away from the channel centre) coincides with the OLT receiver power measurements repeatability (total of 1 dB, according to Table VIII.2). In practice, however, the tuning error and tuning loss could be reduced by averaging the OLT receive power measurements. + +2 Or, equivalently, the incremental loss caused by any wavelength deviation from the nominal channel wavelength greater than MTE must be greater than the OLT receive power measurement repeatability, which equals $\pm 0.5$ dB (see Table VIII.2), plus the ONU power variation, which equals the transmitter power wavelength dependency. + +3 This would require the additional specification of the ONU laser $-15$ dB spectral width; alternatively, MTE could be conservatively replaced here by MSE. + +![Figure VIII.2: Requirement on filter bandwidth.

Namely, there are two levels of OOC: OOC1 is determined by the incoherent crosstalk that will occur when the interfering light is outside the victim channel bandwidth, and OOC2 is determined by the coherent crosstalk that will occur when the interfering light is within the victim channel bandwidth. This is shown in Figure 9-1, which is reproduced below as Figure VIII.11. + +![Figure VIII.11 – OOC-PSD mask definition. The diagram shows a Power Spectral Density (PSD) mask with a central peak at f0. The peak has a width of ± MSE and a height of Pmax - 15 dB (0.01 nm resolution).

The mask is defined by G.989.2(19)\_FVIII.11. + +Figure VIII.11 – OOC-PSD mask definition + +One will note that the edges between the OOC1 and OOC2 are perfectly sharp. The transition from coherent to incoherent crosstalk would be sharp only with a perfectly monochromatic signal; however, our signals are modulated which leads to their spectrum being broadened. This will have the effect of softening the edges between the two cases. + +The signal that is being interfered with is a NRZ waveform intensity modulated on an optical carrier. The NRZ waveform classically is a $\text{sinc}(f)$ function. However, to make the calculation simpler, we can model the spectrum as a $\text{rect}(f)$ function that is 15 GHz wide (for a 7.5 GHz electrical bandwidth). Assuming a close to perfect extinction ratio, half the power goes into modulation, and the other half is the optical carrier, which is represented by a $\delta(f)$ function. This can be written: + +$$\text{PSD}(f) = 1/2 \delta(f-f_0) + 1/2 \text{sinc}((f-f_0)/15 \text{ GHz})$$ + +The worst case carrier placement is when the $f_0$ is 7.5 GHz (or more) from the band edge. Then, the allowed interference power at any frequency can be calculated by integrating over every part of the PSD that is within 7.5 GHz of the interference frequency. Also keep in mind that the incoherent crosstalk is always present also, and so much be added (linearly) to the result. + +The figure below gives a representative calculation of the allowable out of channel PSD as a function of frequency difference from the band edge. In this case, we are looking at a left edge of a channel. This assumes that the OOC1 is $-40.4 \text{ dBm}$ and the OOC2 is $-41.6 \text{ dBm}$ . The OOC requirement starts at the OOC1 value, and starting at 7.5 GHz from outside the band edge, the OOC declines linearly to one quarter of the difference between the levels. Then there is a step down to three quarters of the difference – this is due to the optical carrier coming into range. Then the crosstalk continues its decline until it reaches the OOC2 value at 7.5 GHz inside the band. One can see that just inside the band, the allowed power is about 0.3 dB higher (easier) than the OOC2 level. However, just outside the band, the crosstalk is about 0.3 dB lower (harder) than the OOC1 level. This means that the OOC1 must be tightened by that amount. + +![Line graph titled 'Modulation effect on OOC1 - OOC2 edges' showing interpolated OOC values (dB) vs. offset from band edge (GHz).

The advantage of 8B10B code is that it adds functionality into the media access control (MAC) layer, that is able to be turned on or off per the application. The advantage of Miller code is that it is contained inside the optical modules, thereby providing a standard NRZ based signal to the MAC.

The NG-PON2 8B10B sublayer uses all the code-groups of Table 36-1 of [b-IEEE 802.3] and uses only the K28.5 code-group specified in Table 36-2 of [b-IEEE 802.3]. + +The 8B10B sublayer is independent of all other NG-PON2 MAC functions. + +#### IX.1.1 Power spectral density of 8B10B code + +Figure IX.1 presents simulated results of the PSD of traditional NRZ at 10 Gbit/s and the ANSI 8B10B code at 12.5 Gbit/s. + +![PSD plot showing Power spectral density in dB/Hz versus Frequency (Hz) for NRZ and 8B10B codes.](9ab8ed615ae503cf1b4da66bff9c18a9_img.jpg) + +The figure is a line graph titled "PSD plot".

Upon transmission of any code-group, the transmitter calculates a new value for its running disparity based on the contents of the transmitted code-group. + +After powering on or exiting a test mode, the receiver assumes either the positive or negative value for its initial running disparity. Upon the reception of any code-group, the receiver determines whether the code-group is valid or invalid and calculates a new value for its running disparity based on the contents of the received code-group. + +The following rules for running disparity are used to calculate the new running disparity value for code-groups that have been transmitted (transmitter's running disparity) and that have been received (receiver's running disparity). + +Running disparity for a code-group is calculated on the basis of sub-blocks, where the first six bits (abcdei) form one sub-block (six-bit sub-block) and the second four bits (fghj) form the other sub-block (four-bit sub-block). Running disparity at the beginning of the six-bit sub-block is the running disparity at the end of the last code-group. Running disparity at the beginning of the four-bit sub-block is the running disparity at the end of the six-bit sub-block. Running disparity at the end of the code-group is the running disparity at the end of the four-bit sub-block. + +Running disparity for the sub-blocks is calculated as follows: + +- Running disparity at the end of any sub-block is positive if the sub-block contains more ones than zeros. It is also positive at the end of the six-bit sub-block if the six-bit sub-block is 000111, and it is positive at the end of the four-bit sub-block if the four-bit sub-block is 0011. + +- Running disparity at the end of any sub-block is negative if the sub-block contains more zeros than ones. It is also negative at the end of the six-bit sub-block if the six-bit sub-block is 111000, and it is negative at the end of the four-bit sub-block if the four-bit sub-block is 1100. + +Otherwise, running disparity at the end of the sub-block is the same as at the beginning of the sub-block. + +NOTE – All sub-blocks with equal numbers of zeros and ones are disparity neutral. In order to limit the run length of 0's or 1's between sub-blocks, the 8B/10B transmission code rules specify that sub-blocks encoded as 000111 or 0011 are generated only when the running disparity at the beginning of the sub-block is positive; thus, running disparity at the end of these sub-blocks is also positive. Likewise, sub-blocks containing 111000 or 1100 are generated only when the running disparity at the beginning of the sub-block is negative; thus, running disparity at the end of these sub-blocks is also negative. + +##### IX.1.2.4 Checking the validity of received code-groups + +The following rules are used to determine the validity of received code-groups: + +The column in Tables 36-1 and 36-2 of [b-IEEE 802.3] corresponding to the current value of the receiver's running disparity is searched for the received code-group. + +If the received code-group is found in the proper column, according to the current running disparity, then the code-group is considered valid and, for data code-groups, the associated data octet determined (decoded). + +If the received code-group is not found in that column, then the code-group is considered invalid. + +Independent of the code-group's validity, the received code-group is used to calculate a new value of running disparity. The new value is used as the receiver's current running disparity for the next received code-group. + +Detection of an invalid code-group does not necessarily indicate that the code-group in which the invalid code-group was detected is in error. Invalid code-groups may result from a prior error which altered the running disparity of the PHY bit stream but which did not result in a detectable error at the code-group in which the error occurred. + +The number of invalid code-groups detected is proportional to the BER of the link. Optical link error monitoring may be performed by counting invalid code-groups. + +#### IX.1.3 Eye mask and PMD + +The eye mask of the OLT transmitter when encoded with the 8B10B code is the same as shown in Figure 11-3. However, there are potential direct impacts to the PMD parameters of ER and receiver sensitivity when using 8B10B at 12.5 Gbit/s with 10 Gbit/s compliant transceiver components. In addition to direct impacts of the reduction in ER, there are indirect impacts on other parameters that are ER dependent, e.g., in-band crosstalk penalty. + +The impact on effective ONU receiver sensitivity is not specified, but must be accounted for in equipment applying the 8B10B technique. As allowed by Note 3 in the downstream PMD Tables 11-4 and 11-5, this impact can be compensated for with an appropriate increase in minimum mean channel launch power of the OLT transmitter. + +### IX.2 Miller and Miller squared scheme + +Miller code (also called delay modulation, or modified frequency modulation) is a run length limited code where at least two and at most four consecutive like symbols may occur in the transmitted sequence. More specifically, in Miller code, a bit 1 is represented by a transition at the middle of the bit period and there is no transition for bit 0 unless it is followed by another bit 0, in which case there is a transition at the end of the first bit 0. Based on Miller code, Miller squared code (also called Miller-Miller code, or $M^2$ code) was developed to provide DC balance. Miller + +squared code adopts all the Miller code rules and adds one addition rule that when an even number of bit 0's occurs between bit 0's, the transition for the last bit 1 is suppressed. Encoding and decoding of Miller and Miller squared codes can be easily implemented with synchronous logic circuit. Figure IX.2 shows an example of coding binary data into Miller code. These codes (Miller and Miller squared) provide good timing content and reduced bandwidth compared to NRZ code. In addition, the PSD at low frequencies is relatively low with the potential for Raman crosstalk mitigation. + +![Figure IX.2: Miller code waveform for the bit sequence 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0.

Based on the state transition matrix and the autocorrelation for the Miller code, its PSD can be found as: + +$$S(\omega) = \frac{2}{\omega^2 T [17 + 8 \cos 4\omega T]} \cdot [23 - 2 \cos \omega T/2 - 22 \cos \omega T - 12 \cos 3\omega T/2 + 5 \cos 2\omega T + 12 \cos 5\omega T/2 + 2 \cos 3\omega T - 8 \cos 7\omega T/2 + 2 \cos 4\omega T],$$ + +where $\omega$ is the angular frequency and $T$ is the bit period. Figure IX.4 shows the PSDs of the NRZ and Miller line codes. Compared to NRZ modulation, Miller code has a narrower bandwidth and reduced energy content at low frequencies. These are the desired properties for TWDM PONs. With reduced energy at low frequencies, Miller code can mitigate the Raman crosstalk of the TWDM PON signals onto the RF video overlay. With narrower bandwidth, Miller code can also reduce the fibre dispersion penalty. Hence, a DML, instead of an EML (electro-absorption modulated laser), can be used at 9.95328 Gbit/s for TWDM PON downstream transmission in the L-band or upstream transmission in the C band. + +![Figure IX.4: Power spectral density of NRZ and Miller codes.

For example, as shown in Figure IX.2, with a clock phase shift of 180 degree, consecutive 1 bits will be decoded as consecutive 0 bits, or vice versa. The only unambiguous pattern is the 101 bit combination. Under the wrong phase shift of 180 degree, the waveform appears to be two consecutive 0 bits without a transition between them. This is a code violation, and it can be used to correct 180-degree phase alignment error. + +Alternatively, phase alignment error can be detected by counting the number of transition edges or using parity check. According to the coding rule, there is always a transition in the middle of 1 bit, while at the bit boundaries, transition only happens between two consecutive 0 bits. Hence, for random data, the transition density in the middle of the bits is twice the transition density at the bit boundaries. In addition to looking for transition density, the parity between 0 and 1 can also be used for phase alignment. As a transition in the middle of the bit period is decoded as 1 bit, while no transition in the middle of the bit period is decoded as 0 bit. If the alignment is out of phase by 180 degree, the transition density in the middle of the bit period, for random data, is reduced to a half of that with correct phase alignment. In other words, the number of decoded 1 bits will be half of the decoded 0 bits. + +In addition to look at bit pattern and transition density, fixed data pattern in the PON protocol, such as the PSync in the downstream and the preamble in upstream, can be used for phase alignment. For example, the downstream PSync pattern is 0xC5E5 1840 FD59 BB49 in XG-PON1. With 180-degree phase alignment error at the receiver, the 101 patterns in the PSync appear to be coding violations, and the decoded PSync field becomes a wrong pattern. With 180 degree phase alignment + +error at the receiver for upstream, code violations appear for the commonly used 1010... pattern. To maximize the number of transitions in Miller code waveform, 0000 or 1111 preamble in upstream is preferred. In this case, the OLT receiver with 180 degree phase alignment error will decode the 0000 preamble as 1111, and the 1111 preamble as 0000. + +![Block diagram of an optical transceiver for NRZ and Miller codes.

The outputs of the Miller decoder and CDR for NRZ data are combined to produce the 'Recovered NRZ data'. + +**Figure IX.5 – Optical transceiver for NRZ and Miller codes** + +Since the Miller code is a binary code and its bandwidth is narrower than the NRZ code, conventional transmitter and receiver front end circuits commonly used in NRZ transceivers can be reused for Miller code. Therefore, it is possible to design a transceiver that can transmit and receive both NRZ and Miller coded signals, as shown in Figure IX.5. The transceiver will use the same analogue front end (i.e., laser driver at the transmitter side, transimpedance amplifier and limiting amplifier at the receiver side) for both NRZ and delay modulation signals. At the transmitter side, a line code select signal will switch the Miller encoder in and out of the signal path. The line code select signal comes from the line card to set the line code to be used in the system. At the receiver side, a line code detection signal will switch the received signal either to the clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for NRZ code or decoder for Miller code. The line code detection circuit can be implemented in a number of approaches with the same logic function. It is up to the implementer to choose it. + +The line code detection circuit could have two filters; one lowpass filter passes frequencies from DC to $0.2/T$ , and the other bandpass filter passes frequencies from $0.4/T$ to $0.6/T$ , where $T$ is the bit period. A comparator will compare the power measured after these two filters. If the power after the bandpass filter is much larger than the power after the lowpass filter, Miller code is selected. + +The line code detection circuit will count the maximum number of identical and consecutive symbols. If the maximum number of identical and consecutive symbols is significantly larger than four, the line code is determined to be NRZ. + +The line code detection circuit will look at the duration between two transitions. If there exists a large number of occurrences that the duration between two transitions is one and a half bit period, the line code is determined to be Miller code. + +The transceiver will decode the received signal as NRZ and Miller code, and then the line code detection circuit will select the correct line code based on which code leads to correct data in the protocol specific pattern (e.g., PSync in the downstream or the preamble in the upstream). + +The transceiver will decode the received signal as NRZ and Miller code, and then send both decoded data to FEC (feedforward correction). The line code selection circuit will select the line code that produces the least number of error bits from FEC. This approach requires FEC block before the line code can be selection. However, implementing a FEC circuit inside optical + +transceiver is not a common practice, so this approach is less suitable for dual line code transceivers. + +Using such a transceiver with NRZ and Miller line codes, the interface between the transceiver and TWDM PON MAC remains the conventional NRZ code. Hence, MAC layer can remain untouched regardless of the line code used in the system, but TWDM PON system becomes adaptive to the deployment scenarios. If the TWDM PON system coexists with RF video overlay service, Miller code can be used to mitigate the Raman crosstalk. If there is no RF video overlay service, either NRZ or Miller code can be used. + +With Miller code, any violation in the received line code could indicate an error bit. As the locations of the error bits are known based on line code violation, this information can be used for error detection or correction. For example, it can improve the performance of FEC. In this case, the transceiver can be designed to detect code violation and report the error bits to the FEC. + +#### IX.2.4 Eye mask + +Figure IX.6 presents the eye mask of the OLT transmitter when encoded with the Miller code.

As a result, the switching process of the MUX can start at the laser off time in the guard time of the DBA grant window. + +Another processing method is shown in Figure X.2-b. The dual rate LA device is used for generating the output signal. The dual rate LA adapts the dual path amplification for the input signals at the different frequencies as follows: + +The dual-rate LA features a low data rate path and a high data rate path, allowing for overall transmission optimization. Data path selection is controlled by the RATE\_SELECT signal. The processing of the RATE\_SELECT signal is the same as for the design in the first example. The low data rate path further features a low pass filter that provides optimization for high frequency noise suppression, which could increase the optical signal receive sensitivity for the 10G stream. + +# Appendix XI + +## Optical parameter specification for the S/R-CP reference point + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +The primary method of optical parameter specification is in reference to the S/R point for channel group (S/R-CG reference point of the Figure 6-1 for the individual wavelength channels). This method is used in the PMD tables appearing in the Clause 11 of this Recommendation. An alternative informative optical parameter specification method is in reference to the S/R point for channel pair (S/R-CP reference point of the Figure 6-1). The alternative method is applicable in the situations when the primary reference point, S/R-CG, is not practical or not accessible for performing measurements or it is desirable to provide a simple sensitivity specification to an OLT transceiver vendor. The alternative method is given in this appendix. + +This appendix provides informative optical parameter specification of the OLT and ONU in reference to the S/R-CP point of the NG-PON2 reference logical architecture (see Figure 6-1) for the symmetric nominal line rate option (9.95328/9.95328 Gb/s in downstream/upstream), Type A optical link and N1/N2 ODN classes. For the N2 ODN class, an optical split ratio of 1:64 or higher is assumed. The optical parameter specifications in reference to the S/R-CP point for the other nominal line rate options, Type B optical link and/or other ODN classes remain for further study. + +The recommended values of optical power parameters consistent with the primary specifications of clause 11 and based on the industry best practices with respect to the WM loss and penalty parameters (see Table XI.1) are given in Table XI.2 + +**Table XI.1 – WM loss and penalty parameters based on the industry best practices** + +| Parameter | Notation | Unit | Value | | +|-------------------------------------|------------------------|------|-------|-----| +| | | | N1 | N2 | +| ODN Class | | | | | +| Minimum insertion loss | $WM_{\min}$ | dB | 1.2 | 1.2 | +| Maximum insertion loss | $WM_{\max}$ | dB | 2.2 | 2.2 | +| IBXT penalty | $\delta_{\text{IBXT}}$ | dB | 0.5 | 0.3 | +| WM inter-channel cross-talk penalty | $\delta_{\text{ICXT}}$ | dB | 0.5 | 0.1 | +| Downstream WM penalty | $\delta_{\text{DS}}$ | dB | 0.0 | 0.0 | + +Let $P_{\min}$ , $P_{\max}$ , $S$ and $L$ denote, respectively, the mean launch optical power minimum, the mean launch optical power maximum, sensitivity and overload at a respective point identified by the subscript.

ISP supports coexistence between up to four non-interoperable coexisting systems. This Recommendation assumes that there is only one access system operating over the distribution lines that provide power to a given customer premises. + +The frequency range used by ISP signalling ranges from 2 MHz to 50 MHz. + +Sharing of the powerline medium between coexisting systems is determined by the following: + +- number of coexisting systems on the powerline; +- type of coexisting system; +- access system capacity request. + +An overview of the ISP is provided in the next clause, followed by clauses describing the details of each component of the protocol. + +## 5.1 Inter-system protocol + +### 5.1.1 Coexistence signalling + +Coexistence signalling is carried out by the use of periodically repeating ISP windows that are used to convey information on coexisting system presence, resource requirements and resynchronization request. Each coexisting system category is allocated a particular ISP window in a round robin fashion. + +## 5.2 Network status + +By monitoring the signals transmitted within the ISP windows allocated to other coexisting systems, a coexisting system is able to detect the number and type of other coexisting systems present on the line and the resource requirements of the access system (i.e., partial/full bandwidth). + +By monitoring the signals within its own ISP window, a coexisting system is able to detect a resynchronization request from one of the other coexisting systems. + +This set of instantaneous information is termed the network status. Network status is used to determine the allocation of resources to each coexisting system. + +## 5.3 Resource allocation + +### 5.3.1 Frequency domain multiplex (FDM) + +Within ISP, FDM may only be invoked by an access system. The overall FDM scheme consists of two frequency bands. The upper band is shared using TDM by in-home systems, the lower band reserved for access systems. One of two FDM band separation frequencies (10 MHz or 14 MHz) is chosen by the access system. + +### 5.3.2 Time domain multiplex (TDM) + +ISP allows TDM to be implemented between coexisting in-home systems or between coexisting in-home systems and an access system. The allocation of resources in the time domain is described in clause 9. + +The period between each ISP window is divided into smaller units and sub-units that are used as the basis for TDM resource allocation. + +## 5.4 Start-up and re-synchronization procedures + +In order to allow coexisting systems to synchronize to the appropriate ISP sequence and hence to effectively coexist, the ISP defines: + +- procedures for system start-up; +- triggers and procedures for re-synchronizing to a different ISP sequence. + +# 6 Coexistence signal definition + +The structure of the ISP signal shall be as follows: + +- The ISP signal consists of 16 consecutive OFDM symbols. +- Each OFDM symbol is formed using a 512-point inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) with each sub-carrier having a phase shift defined in clause 6.2. +- The ISP time domain signal is then multiplied by a window function $W(n)$ to reduce the out-of-band energy in order to be compliant with the transmit spectrum mask.

Therefore, the system category that occupies TDMS#0 will be very slightly penalized as no data can be transmitted during the ISP window. + +# 10 Start-up and resynchronization procedures + +In order to allow coexisting systems to synchronize to the appropriate ISP window, and hence to effectively coexist, the ISP defines: + +- procedures for system start-up; +- triggers and procedures for re-synchronizing to a different set of ISP windows. + +## 10.1 Start-up procedure + +This clause is concerned with the case when a new node joins a system and when global start-up is required, for example, after a power outage. The start-up procedure ensures that the new station is able to detect the presence of other networks already transmitting ISP signals, and to coordinate with the existing networks. + +### 10.1.1 Start-up procedure for an access system + +This Recommendation assumes the presence of, at most, one access system; therefore, if a new access station joins the network, it will never detect two unsynchronized access networks. The access system is likely to span a relatively large geographic area, and thus may occupy the same powerline medium with any number of in-home systems. + +If an access system is deployed for the first time in the area or when a new access node joins an existing access network, then the access station(s) shall follow the start-up procedure defined in this Recommendation for access networks. + +- The access station(s) shall search for ISP signals from other coexisting systems at every sync point for a period given by `ISP_STARTUP_TIME`. Any node shall decide that a system is present if the node detects at least `VALID_SIGNAL_COUNT_SEARCH` consecutive ISP signals of the appropriate phase in the appropriate ISP field and shall update its network status accordingly. +- Once an access station successfully joins an access network and the `ISP_STARTUP_TIME` duration has expired, it shall send a message to the ACC master node notifying the presence and status of any in-home systems. +- Additionally, the ACC master node shall send a message to the new station indicating the mode of the access network and timing of the ISP signal which it shall begin transmitting in the ISP access fields. +- If any in-home coexisting systems are detected that are not synchronized with the access system, then a resynchronization signal shall be transmitted in the resynchronization field of the out of sync in-home systems for `ACCESS_ENTER_TIME`. +- The new access stations shall be restricted to transmission and reception of management messages for joining the access network and ISP management only until the procedure described herein is complete, including resynchronization of any out of sync in-home networks. + +Access systems should have the possibility of initiating a resynchronization (similar to a global start-up after power outage). + +### 10.1.2 Start-up procedure for an in-home system + +When a new in-home node is powered up or joins an existing in-home network, then the in-home station(s) shall follow the start-up procedure defined in this Recommendation for in-home networks. + +- The in-home station(s) shall search for ISP signals from other coexisting systems at every sync point for a period given by `ISP_STARTUP_TIME`. The detection information from each slave node shall be sent to the master node using the `ISP_DetectionReport` management message. Any node shall decide that a system is present if the node detects at least `VALID_SIGNAL_COUNT_SEARCH` consecutive ISP signals of the appropriate phase in the appropriate ISP field and shall update its network status accordingly. + +- The master node shall determine the ISP sequence with which to synchronize, based on the detection information received from the slave nodes and according to the following rules: + - If no ISP sequence is detected during the search period given by `ISP_STARTUP_TIME`, then the network manager of the in-home system shall determine the timing of the ISP windows itself and shall start transmitting ISP signals in its designated ISP window. + - If only one ISP sequence is detected during the search period, then: + - If the detected sequence does not include any resynchronization requests, then the network manager of the in-home system shall lock onto the detected sequence and shall start transmitting ISP signals in its designated ISP window. + - If the detected sequence includes a re-synchronization request, then the network manager of the in-home system shall re-enter the start-up procedure and shall begin to search for ISP signals once again. + - If two or more ISP sequences are detected during the search period, then: + - If one of the ISP sequences includes an access system, the network manager of the in-home system shall lock onto this sequence and shall start transmitting an ISP signal in its designated ISP window. + - If none of the ISP sequences includes an access sequence, then: + - If there is only one ISP sequence that does not include a re-synchronization request, the network manager of the in-home system shall select and lock onto this sequence and shall start transmitting an ISP signal in its designated ISP window. + - If there are two or more ISP sequences that do not include a resynchronization request, the network manager of the in-home system shall select one from these sequences, lock onto it and shall start transmitting an ISP signal in its designated ISP window. + - If there is no in-home ISP sequence that does not include a resynchronization request, the network manager of the in-home system shall re-enter the start-up procedure and shall begin to search for ISP signals once again. +- If the master node determines, based on the detection information, that there are more than one ISP sequence, it shall transmit the `ISP_DirectResyncTransmission` message to the slave nodes instructing them to transmit resynchronization signals with phase vector `Ph5` or `Ph2` or `Ph3` (as appropriate) to the ISP sequences with which the master node has not synchronized. The number of re-sync transmissions (`RESYNC_SIG`) is randomly selected between `RESYNC_SIG_MIN` and `RESYNC_SIG_MAX`. +- Once an in-home node successfully joins an in-home network and the `ISP_STARTUP_TIME` duration has expired, if it is not the master node of the in-home network, it shall send a system specific management message to the master node notifying the presence and status of any access and/or in-home systems. The new node shall follow any instructions indicated in any system specific management messages transmitted to it. +- If the master node detects the presence of an access system either directly or indirectly, from receiving a system specific management message, it shall immediately execute the resynchronization procedure defined in clause 10.2, in order to synchronize with the access system. +- If the master node detects the presence of an out of sync in-home coexisting system either directly or indirectly, from receiving a system specific management message, it shall immediately execute the resynchronization procedure defined in clause 10.2. + +- Any new in-home station shall be restricted to transmission and reception of management messages for joining the in-home network and ISP management only until the procedure described herein is complete, including resynchronization of any out of sync in-home networks. When the new station detects no ISP signals of its category, it shall not transmit any frames until it starts to transmit ISP signals. + +## 10.2 Resynchronization procedure + +- Note that an access system cannot be resynchronized. +- An in-home system that is synchronized with an access system shall not resynchronize and shall ignore any resynchronization signal transmitted in its resynchronization field. Resynchronization is always handled by the master node. + +### 10.2.1 Access requests resynchronization + +- If an out of synchronization in-home system is detected by a station belonging to an access system, the station should immediately send a message to the ACC master notifying that an out of sync in-home coexisting system was detected. +- The access station that detected the out of sync in-home coexisting system shall transmit in the re-sync field of the in-home system an ISP signal of Ph5 if the in-home system is IHC1, Ph2 if the in-home system is IHC2 or Ph3 if the in-home system is ITU-T G.996x for RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX times. +- At the same time, the access station shall continue to transmit its own ISP sequence (i.e., ISP signals in its access ISP window) in order to provide the reference to which the in-home system shall synchronize. + +### 10.2.2 In-home detects re-sync signal in its window + +Whether an in-home system resynchronizes to a different ISP sequence or not is decided by the master node according to the following procedure: + +- If the in-home system is already synchronized with an access system, then it shall ignore the re-sync request. +- An in-home slave node that detects an ISP resynchronization signal (Ph5 or Ph2 or Ph3) in the resynchronization field of its ISP window shall immediately send an ISP\_ResyncDetected message to the master node indicating a resynchronization signal was detected. +- A master node that: + - either detects a resynchronization signal in its ISP window or receives an ISP\_ResyncDetected message; and + - is not synchronized with an access system; and + - is not currently transmitting resynchronization signals; + - shall immediately start the resynchronization procedure. + +The master node shall comply with the following: + +- The master node transmits an ISP\_StartResync message to all slave nodes in the system. The master node and slave nodes suspend transmission of ISP signals and search for ISP signals at all sync points for ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT. Any node shall decide that a system is present if the node detects at least VALID\_SIGNAL\_COUNT\_SEARCH consecutive ISP signals of the appropriate phase in the appropriate ISP field and shall update its network status accordingly. + +- After ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT and an access system is detected, the master node synchronizes to the access system, resumes transmission of ISP signals and data, and transmits the ISP\_ResyncFinished management message to all slave nodes. In this case, the resynchronization procedure is finished at this step. +- If the master node does not detect an access system during ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT, the master node resumes transmission of data and ISP signals (at the same sync points as before the resynchronization procedure started). The master node then begins a second ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT period. +- After the second ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT, the master node decides the sync point to lock onto from both what it detected during the first ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT and what it is informed by its slave nodes (using the ISP\_DetectionReport message) during the second ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT. If any slave node detected an access ISP sequence, then the master node selects the access sequence. Otherwise, a sync point that does not include a re-sync signal and is not the same as the sync point before this state is selected. The master node resumes transmission of data and transmits the ISP\_ResyncFinished management message to all slave nodes. +- If the master node neither detects nor is informed of any ISP sequences that satisfy the above conditions, then the master node continues synchronizing with the current sync point. + +Slave nodes shall comply with the following during resynchronization: + +- Immediately after it receives the ISP\_StartResync message from its master node, an in-home slave node stops all ISP signals and frame transmissions, and searches for ISP signals at all sync points for ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT. Any node shall decide that a system is present if the node detects at least VALID\_SIGNAL\_COUNT\_SEARCH consecutive ISP signals of the appropriate phase in the appropriate ISP field and shall update its network status accordingly. +- After ISP\_RESYNC\_WAIT, the slave node resumes transmission of ISP signals and transmits an ISP\_DetectionReport message to its master node if any ISP sequence was detected during the search period. +- The slave node updates the location of the ISP window starting from the next ISP window after receiving the ISP\_ResyncFinished management message from its master node. The sync point that the slave node synchronizes to is informed by the ISP\_ResyncFinished management message. + +Just after the resynchronization procedure, the master node and all slave nodes shall transmit re-sync request signals to both those sync points that were detected but not selected and the sync point to which the system synchronized before the resynchronization procedure started. The number of re-sync signal transmissions (RESYNC\_SIG) is decided by the master node. If the master node's system is synchronized to an access system, RESYNC\_SIG is always equal to RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX. Otherwise, the master node decides the value of RESYNC\_SIG randomly between RESYNC\_SIG\_MIN and RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX and shall transmit this to all slave nodes using the ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message. + +### 10.2.3 In-home detects an unsynchronized access system + +If an in-home coexisting system detects the presence of an unsynchronized ISP sequence that includes an access system, then the in-home system shall comply with the following procedure: + +- The in-home system synchronizes its ISP signal transmission with the access system and transmits ISP signals in its corresponding ISP window. +- The master node transmits an ISP\_IndicateState message to all its slave nodes in the same system to inform them of the coexistence state and the location of the next ISP window corresponding to the timing of the access system. + +- The master node transmits ISP signals with phase vector Ph5 or Ph2 or Ph3 in the re-sync field of any ISP sequence with which the in-home system had synchronized before it detected the access system. The re-sync signals are transmitted for each unsynchronized ISP sequence for RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX times. +- The master node transmits an ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message to command the slave nodes to transmit re-sync signals in the ISP sequence to which the in-home system had synchronized before it detected the access system. The number of re-sync signal transmissions shall be RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX, and it is contained within the ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message. + +A node that also detected unsynchronized in-home coexisting systems that were not synchronized to the detected access system shall transmit re-sync signals to the sync points corresponding to the detected in-home systems. The number of re-sync signal transmissions shall be RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX. + +### 10.2.4 In-home system detects unsynchronized in-home systems + +If an in-home system detects the presence of one or more unsynchronized in-home ISP sequences and does not detect an unsynchronized access system, the in-home master node shall select whether it enters the resynchronization procedure itself or requests the unsynchronized systems to do so. + +When the master node selects the former, then the in-home system shall comply with the following procedure: + +- The master node selects one of the detected ISP sequences to synchronize with and transmits ISP signals in the corresponding ISP window of that detected ISP sequence. +- The master node transmits an ISP\_IndicateState message to all its slave nodes in order to inform them of the coexistence state and the location of the next ISP window (corresponding to the timing of the new system). All slave nodes that receive this message shall cease to transmit any signals in the presence field of the previous ISP sequence and start transmitting in the new ISP sequence. +- The master node transmits an ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message in order to command slave nodes to transmit re-sync signals, with phase vector Ph5 or Ph2 or Ph3 (as appropriate), within the ISP sequence to unselected ISP sequences and to which the in-home system had previously synchronized. The value of RESYNC\_SIG is randomly selected between RESYNC\_SIG\_MIN and RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX by the master node, and is informed by the ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message. + +When the master node decides to keep its sync point and requests other systems to synchronize to it, the in-home system shall comply with the following procedure: + +- The master node transmits an ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message to all its slave nodes in order to command them to transmit re-sync signals in the ISP sequences of any unsynchronized systems they detected. The number of re-sync transmissions (RESYNC\_SIG) is randomly selected by the master node between RESYNC\_SIG\_MIN and RESYNC\_SIG\_MAX and is communicated to the slave nodes within the ISP\_DirectResyncTransmission message. +- The master node also transmits re-sync signals in the ISP sequences of the unsynchronized systems that the master node detected. The re-sync signals are transmitted RESYNC\_SIG times. + +# 11 Power control procedures + +Nodes within a system may reduce the frequency or cease transmission of the ISP signals under certain circumstances, providing they continue to monitor the network status. If the network status contains only one system category, then the node may stop transmitting the ISP signals while still scanning for unsynchronized systems or for a new network status. Each node can make this decision autonomously based on the network status. + +If the sensed network status changes and other systems appear, then the node shall resume transmitting the ISP signals. + +Nodes shall transmit the ISP signals continuously for at least 60 s after the start-up and resynchronization procedure is completed. + +# 12 Time slot reuse + +For further study. + +# 13 Generic management message + +## 13.1 State indication messages + +Management messages in this clause are used to transfer ISP signal detection status information between the master node and slave nodes. + +**Table 13-1 – ISP state indication messages** + +| Message | Direction | +|---------------------|---------------------------| +| ISP_IndicateState | Master node → Slave nodes | +| ISP_DetectionReport | Slave nodes → Master node | + +### 13.1.1 ISP\_IndicateState + +#### 13.1.1.1 Function + +ISP\_IndicateState management message is used by the master node to inform slave nodes of the current coexistence state and the location of the next ISP window for its own system. + +This message has some parameters. + +- Information that is sufficient for slave nodes to decide the utilizable frequency band and TDMS. +- The location of the next ISP window. + +#### 13.1.1.2 Generation of ISP\_IndicateState + +A master node generates this message and sends to all slave nodes in the same system periodically.

If the energy from one system reaches the other system below the noise level, then there is no real interference and so both systems could use the channel simultaneously without the need for ISP (avoiding the loss of up to 50% of the bandwidth).

The measurement for the limit is made using equipment with a resolution bandwidth of 10 kHz (dBm/10 kHz) or 9 kHz (dBm/9 kHz) and an RMS detector. The continuous line shall be met with the average measurement. The dashed line shall be met with Max hold measurement. + +![Figure 14-1: Leakage signal level graph showing Power (P) vs. frequency.

The text and the pictures obtained are intended to be displayed using the current television (TV) raster standards of the different countries. + +1.2.3 Different options are offered as a choice for the Administrations to implement their national services. Substantial degrees of compatibility exist between these options, but some transcoding may be necessary to facilitate interworking. + +### 1.2.4 For the international service, four different options for representing pictorial information have been recognized: + +- a) mosaic character sets; +- b) geometric system; +- c) dynamically redefinable character sets; +- d) photographic representation. + +These options are not mutually exclusive and it is possible that systems may develop using two or more options. + +### 1.2.5 For international interworking, two categories of TV systems have to be considered: + +- a) systems having a vertical resolution of 525 lines per TV frame at 30 TV frames per second; +- b) systems having a vertical resolution of 625 lines per TV frame at 25 TV frames per second. + +1.2.6 Interworking problems at the pictorial level between countries having different recognized pictorial systems and/or television standards require further study. + +### 1.2.7 This Recommendation is structured as follows: + +§§ 1, 2 and 3 deal with the features common to all the options; + +§ 4 deals with the coding of characters of the Videotex alphanumeric repertoire defined in Annex B; + +§ 5 deals with the alphamosaic option; + +§ 6 deals with the alphageometric option; + +§ 7 deals with the dynamically redefinable character sets (DRCS) option; + +§ 8 deals with the alphaphotographic option; + +- § 9 deals with future enhancements and identifies features requiring further study such as: audio, downloaded software, motion, etc.; +- § 10 deals with line and end-to-end protocols; +- § 11 deals with interworking with other services. + +Some of these parts have not been completed, and therefore contain guidelines towards future extensions rather than a complete technical specification. + +# **2 General Videotex coding structure** + +## *2.1 General* + +2.1.1 The basis of the coding structure for the Videotex service is Recommendation T.50 and the international standards ISO 2022, ISO 6937 for the 7-bit environment. Specifically, the shift-in code SI (0/15) invokes the G0 set for alphanumeric text mode of operation, and the shift-out code SO (0/14) invokes the G1 set, for all the models (see Annex A). The use of the 8-bit coding scheme is for further study. + +2.1.2 In addition to the provisions made by ISO 2022, the transmission of alphabetic characters having diacritical signs is effected by transmitting the code representing the diacritical mark together with the code of the basic alphabetic character. + +2.1.3 The different options are designated (and invoked) by specific escape sequences. + +## *2.2 Designation and invocation in the context of the alphamosaic option* + +2.2.1 Two different modes for the alphamosaic option have been identified. They differ in their display control sets. These control sets are designated as the C1 set by the following control sequences: ESC 2/2 4/0 for the serial mode and ESC 2/2 4/1 for the parallel mode, as assigned by ISO. Individual controls are represented by: ESC F, sequences. + +2.2.2 The mosaic graphics set is designated (in the parallel mode) as the G1 set by an escape sequence ESC 2/9 6/3 as allocated by ISO. + +## *2.3 Designation and invocation in the context of the alphageometric option* + +2.3.1 The alphageometric coding scheme is to be designated and invoked by the escape sequence ESC 2/5 (5/x) in accordance with § 5.3.8 of ISO 2022 standard. This designates and invokes a complete code with interpretation as follows. + +2.3.2 All the meanings and interpretation of Recommendation T.50 and ISO 2022 remain the same, including C0, G0 and G2 with the exception of SI and SO. The codes of the G1 set and their meanings and interpretations are as described in § 6. + +2.3.3 The designation and invocation of the complete code by the sequence ESC 2/5 (5/x) is to be terminated only by ESC 2/9 (F) or ESC 2/13 (F), designating a normal G1 set. + +## *2.4 Designation and invocation in the context of DRCS* + +2.4.1 A DRCS is a set of characters whose shapes are sent from the service and down-loaded via the line. It may be used to represent alphabetic characters, special symbols, or picture element symbols for constructing fine graphics. Once loaded, the DRCS are regarded as members of a library that can be designated by appropriate ESC sequences as G0, G1, G2, G3 sets. One scheme is described in § 7 in the context of a general architecture. + +## *2.5 Designation and invocation in the context of the alphaphotographic option* + +(For further study.) + +# 3 Common features + +## 3.1 General + +3.1.1 The features pertaining to individual systems will be described in the corresponding paragraphs. The common features comprise common display features and common control functions. + +## 3.2 Common display features + +3.2.1 The *defined display area* is that rectangular position of the display in which all text and pictorial images may be presented (see Figure 1/T.100). + +3.2.2 The *border area* is that part of the visible display of a terminal that is outside the defined display area (see Figure 1/T.100). + +![Diagram of a terminal display showing the visible display area, defined display area, and border area.](1be8e9cad5f38fa47bdb81e549a3bec9_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the layout of a terminal display. It features a large rounded rectangle labeled 'Visible display' with an arrow pointing to it from the left. Inside this rectangle is a smaller rectangle labeled 'Defined display area' with an arrow pointing to it from the right.

These are taken from the C0 set (see Figure 2/T.100) together with the *Space* character 2/0. In order to permit interworking between Videotex and other text communications services, these control functions have functional compatibility to the extent possible with the basic C0 control set utilized by these other services. + +### 3.3.2 Format effector controls + +3.3.2.1 Some of the format effector control functions may be used from terminal to computer with different meanings. + +#### 3.3.2.2 Active position backward (APB) + +This control function causes the active position to be moved one character position backwards on the same row. APB on the first character position on the row moves the active position to the last character position of the preceding row. APB on the first character position on the first row moves the active position to the last character position of the last row. + +#### 3.3.2.3 *Active position forward (APF)* + +This function causes the active position to be moved to the next character position forward on the same row. At the last position on the row, this control moves the active position to the first character position on the following row. APF on the last character position of the last row moves the active position to the first character position of the first row. + +#### 3.3.2.4 *Active position down (APD)* + +This function causes the active position to be moved to the equivalent character position on the following row. APD on the last row moves the active position of the equivalent character position of the first row of the display frame or causes a roll-up to be made. + +| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----|----------------|-----|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| +| | | | | | b 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +| | | | | | b 6 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | +| | | | | | b 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | +| | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | +| b 4 | b 3 | b 2 | b 1 | | | | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | NUL | ② | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | ② | ③ | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | ② | ③ | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | ② | ③ | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | ② | ③ | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5 | ENQ | ② | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | ② | ② | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 | ① | ② | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | APB | CAN | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | APF | SS2 | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 10 | APD | ① | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 11 | APU | ESC | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 12 | CS | ① | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 13 | APR | SS3 | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 14 | SO | ③ | | | | | | | | +| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 15 | SI | ③ | | | | | | | | + +CCITT-44090 + +*Note 1* — Reserved for future study. + +*Note 2* — Reserved for transmission control characters.

APU on the first row moves the active position to the equivalent character position on the last row of the same display frame. + +#### 3.3.2.6 *Clear screen (CS)* + +This function causes the screen to be cleared and causes the active position to be moved to the first character position on the first row. + +#### 3.3.2.7 *Active position return (APR)* + +This function causes the active position to be moved to the first character position of the same row. + +#### 3.3.2.8 *Space (SP)* + +A control function that causes the active position to be moved one character width forward on the same row. It is also regarded as a graphic character with no foreground. In those systems that define an explicit background, the space copies the background colour into the active position and moves the active position one character width forward. If used in conjunction with the inversion attribute it copies the foreground colour into the active position and moves the active position one character width forward. + +#### 3.3.2.9 *Cancel (CAN)* + +A control function that fills all the character positions of the row, after the active position, with spaces and returns the active position to its original value. + +### 3.3.3 *Code extension control functions* + +3.3.3.1 Code extension control functions are used to expand the capability of the 7-bit code beyond 128 different characters or functions. Code extension functions alter the meaning of a number of characters following them. + +#### 3.3.3.2 *Escape (ESC)* + +A control character that is used to provide additional control functions other than transmission control functions and that alters the meaning of a limited number of contiguously following bit combinations in the manner specified in Recommendation T.51. + +#### 3.3.3.3 *Control sequence introducer (CSI)* + +A code extension control function that is used to provide coded representations for additional control functions, in particular for control functions with parameters such as presentation control functions. + +#### 3.3.3.4 *Shift-out (SO)* + +A control character that is used in conjunction with the *Shift-in* character to extend the graphic character set of the code and that alters the meaning of the bit combinations of columns 2-7 of the code table, until the occurrence of the *shift-in* character, except that the meaning of the bit combinations corresponding to the *space* character and the *delete* character (positions 2/0 and 7/15) are unaffected. + +#### 3.3.3.5 *Shift-in (SI)* + +A control character, used in conjunction with the *shift-out* character, that reinstates the former meanings of the bit combinations of columns 2-7 of the code table. + +#### 3.3.3.6 *Single shift (SS2)* + +This character alters the meaning of the single-bit combination following it. That bit combination must be one of those from columns 2-7 except 2/0 and 7/15. The meaning of the bit combination concerned is derived from an appropriately designated G2 graphic set. + +#### 3.3.3.7 *Single shift (SS3)* + +This character alters the meaning of the single-bit combination following it. That bit combination must be one of those from columns 2-7 except 2/0 and 7/15. The meaning of the bit combination concerned is derived from an appropriately designated G3 graphic set. + +## 3.4 *Miscellaneous* + +### 3.4.1 *Null (NUL)* + +This function may occur in non-transparent modes in the received bit stream at the terminal. It shall be regarded as a time filler and discarded. + +### 3.4.2 *Enquiry (ENQ)* + +A control character used as a request for a response from a remote station, which response may include station identification and/or station status. + +## 3.5 *Coding of control functions* + +3.5.1 A proposed coding of the control functions described is shown in Figure 2/T.100 as a C0 set, except for CSI which is coded in the C1 set. + +# 4 **Representation of alphanumeric characters in a Videotex system** + +## 4.1 *General* + +4.1.1 The repertoire for the Latin alphabet is shown in Annex B. The repertoire is derived from ISO 6937. Terminals capable of displaying a subset of the Videotex repertoire shall be permitted. + +4.1.2 Character repertoires for non-latin based languages can be accommodated in a similar manner to the latin alphabet. (For further study.) + +## 4.2 *Coding* + +4.2.1 Section 4.2 describes the coding of characters the shape of which are stored in the terminal. Some languages require that consecutive letters or diacritical marks will be joined and that no space appear between the characters. When an intersymbol space is required, it will be part of the character description. + +4.2.2 The code tables are shown in Figures 3/T.100 and 4/T.100. The code combinations representing characters not included in the Videotex repertoire shall not be transmitted. + +4.2.3 All the permitted combinations may be expected in the international exchange of information between two national services. It is the responsibility of Administrations to decide whether this exchange is a direct terminal to database operation or has to be performed through a gateway. See Recommendation F.300. + +4.2.4 The graphic characters from columns 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the supplementary set are invoked one at a time by SS2. + +4.2.5 A character with a diacritical mark is transmitted by the sequence SS2, a character from column 4 from the supplementary set, and the appropriate character from the primary set. The diacritical marks are non-spacing. + +4.2.6 The ISO registration of graphics character sets will indicate any special features such as their use in conjunction with other graphic character sets or non-spacing characters, etc. + +4.2.7 For languages based on other than the Latin alphabet further study is required. + +# 5 **Alphamosaic option** + +## 5.1 *General* + +5.1.1 In the alphamosaic option, the display frame is composed of defined character positions which may be occupied by any of the characters of the repertoire. The repertoire is composed of the alphanumeric repertoire and a mosaic repertoire. The mosaic repertoire is formed by dividing the character space into a matrix of $2 \times 3$ elements.

In addition, provisions are made for full-row attributes, applying for the entire row including the border area related to that row. + +Full-screen attributes display controls are represented by four character *Escape* sequences of the form ESC 2/3 2/0 Fe where Fe is taken from Figure 7/T.100. + +Full-row attributes display controls are represented by four-character *Escape* sequences of the form ESC 2/3 2/1 Fe. + +5.4.2.3.2 The following full-screen attributes need precise definition: + +- *Transparent background*: The full-screen area is occupied by a picture, which may not be part of the Videotex service (e.g. a television picture). Non-concealed characters appear on this picture. If they are also displayed with defined display area transparent background, only the foreground appears over the picture. Concealed characters are displayed as transparent spaces. +- *Conceal*: The defined display area is in the full-screen background colour until the user chooses to reveal it or until this attribute is stopped by full-screen stop conceal. +- *Full-screen stop conceal*: This has the same action as the action of the user on the reveal key. + +5.4.2.3.3 For row-defined full-screen attributes, the following may also apply: + +- lined; +- double width; +- double height. + +### 5.4.3 *Coding of the mosaic repertoire* + +5.4.3.1 The mosaic repertoire is designated as a G1 set invoked by the SO function. Two alternative fonts (contiguous and separated) are proposed. The separated font is obtained by applying the lining attribute applied to the mosaic set. The mosaic set code table is given in Figure 8/T.100 together with examples of the fonts. + +### 5.4.4 *Default conditions* + +#### 5.4.4.1 *Default full-screen attributes* + +At the beginning of a display frame (initiated by function CS) the default conditions for full-screen attributes are set at white foreground, black background, single size, unboxed, revealed, steady, non-lined. + +#### 5.4.4.2 *Default defined display area attributes* + +After functions directly addressing a character location on the screen (APH or APA function) the defined display area attributes are reset to the value of the current full-screen attributes. + +#### 5.4.4.3 *Default full-row attributes* + +The default condition of full-row attributes is the current value of full-screen attributes. + +# 6 **Alphageometric option** + +## 6.1 *General* + +### 6.1.1 *Description* + +6.1.1.1 In the alphageometric option, the display is composed of alphanumeric texts and pictorial drawings that are defined in terms of geometric primitives transmitted to the terminal as drawing commands, + +6.1.1.2 One coding scheme for the alphageometric option for Videotex is described in § 6. + +### 6.1.2 *Designation and invocation of geometric codes* + +6.1.2.1 The designation and invocation of the alpheageometric code is specified in § 2.3. + +The occurrence of the control function SO invokes the geometric primitives in code table positions 2/0 to 7/15 inclusive. The occurrence of the code function SI re-establishes the G0 set and the *space* (2/0) and *delete* (7/15) functions. + +### 6.1.3 *Geometric primitives* + +6.1.3.1 The coding scheme for the G1 set together with the code positions 2/0 and 7/15 for the geometric model is based on geometric primitives. Each drawing primitive is specified in terms of Cartesian coordinates to describe the positions, end-points, or vertices of each drawing operation. + +6.1.3.2 Geometric drawings are defined in terms of the drawing primitives: *point*, *line*, *arc*, *rectangle*, and *polygon*. + +### 6.1.4 *Drawing position* + +6.1.4.1 Drawings are positionally independent; therefore drawing primitives may overlay each other redefining the drawing at the position. + +### 6.1.5 *Drawing space* + +6.1.5.1 Space for geometric drawing operations consists of a rectangular area entirely visible on the display screen. Any area of the display screen outside of the valid drawing area is termed a *border area* and it is not possible to specify a coordinate position in a border area. + +### 6.1.6 *Picture element* + +6.1.6.1 The Cartesian coordinate grid is made up of square picture elements (pixels). + +### 6.1.7 *Picture resolution* + +6.1.7.1 Any number of picture elements may be implemented. Hence, picture resolution is at the discretion of terminal manufacturers. + +### 6.1.8 *Coordinate system* + +6.1.8.1 The coordinate specifications are defined based on a Cartesian 0 to 1 numbering scheme. + +6.1.8.2 The numbering system is referenced to the visible valid drawing area and consists of coordinates ranging from 0 to 1 on both the X and Y axes, with coordinate values being specified as fractions of this range. + +6.1.8.3 The coordinates are encoded in 2's complement notation and specified as signed numbers to a minimum accuracy of 9 bits, including the sign bit. Increased accuracy is obtained by additional increments of 3 bits. Unused least significant bits are truncated when the coordinates are defined to a greater accuracy than can be handled by the terminal. + +6.1.8.4 Display screens with non-square visible areas map into the square drawing area number system so that the origin (0,0) remains in the lower left-hand corner. On a television-like display with a 4 : 3 aspect ratio, this corresponds to a range of 0 to 0.999 ... in the X axis and 0 to approximately 0.75 in the Y axis. Drawing commands addressing the entire square 0 to 1 grid are permissible, but only the circumscribed 4 : 3 area is visible. + +## 6.2 *Drawing command* + +### 6.2.1 *General* + +6.2.1.1 Drawing commands consist of *operational codes* (opcodes) and their associated data parameters. + +6.2.1.2 Opcodes describe the types of drawing operation. + +6.2.1.3 Following the opcode byte are one or more blocks of additional bytes of data to describe one or more (X, Y) coordinate positions. Each block of data for the (X, Y) coordinates may contain 3 bytes (9 bits accuracy), 4 bytes (12 bits accuracy), etc., depending on the degree of resolution desired. + +6.2.1.4 Figure 9/T.100 is the code table for the opcodes and data bytes or status sub-commands. + +### 6.2.2 *Opcode byte* + +6.2.2.1 The structure of the opcode byte is as shown in Figure 10/T.100. + +### 6.2.3. *Opcode definitions* + +#### 6.2.3.1 *Point* + +Sets the drawing beam to any position in the display space and optionally draws a point. + +#### 6.2.3.2 *Line* + +Draws a line based on the two given end points. + +#### 6.2.3.3 *Arc* + +Draws a circular arc based on three points, which are the start point, a point on the arc and the end point of the arc. A circle results when the start and end points are coincidental and the point on the arc defines the opposite end of the diameter. The arc may be either in outline or the area enclosed by the arc and the chord may be filled. + +#### 6.2.3.4 *Rectangle* + +Draws a rectangle based on specified width and height. The rectangle may be in outline or a filled-in area. + +#### 6.2.3.5 *Polygon* + +Draws a closed polygon of arbitrary shape specified by the vertices. The polygon may be in outline or a filled-in area. The maximum number of vertices is limited to 256. + +#### 6.2.3.6 *Spare* + +An opcode available for future definition. + +#### 6.2.3.7 *Reserved* + +An opcode reserved for a specific future application. + +#### 6.2.3.8 *Control* + +Provides control over the modes or attributes of the drawing commands. + +### 6.2.4 *Opcode facilities* + +6.2.4.1 Each opcode has four variants; these are defined by the facility bits (b2 and b1) as shown in Figure 11/T.100.

| | + +# 7 Alpha-dynamically redefinable character sets (DRCS) option + +## 7.1 General + +7.1.1 A DRCS is a set of characters whose shapes are sent from the data-base and down-loaded via the line. It may be used to represent alphabetic characters, special symbols, or picture element symbols for constructing fine graphics. Once loaded, the DRCS are regarded as members of a library that can be designated by appropriate ESC sequences as G0, G1, G2, G3 sets. Several schemes for the DRCS option are possible. One scheme is described in § 7 in the context of a general architecture. When used in its alphanumeric mode DRCS may be employed as a part of the alphabetic representations of any other Videotex option and in that case, the attributes associated with that option are to be used. + +## 7.2 General architecture for down-loading DRCS + +### 7.2.1 Initiation + +The down-loading process is initiated by a designation and invocation sequence. This sequence is followed by one or more of the following functions. + +### 7.2.2 *Identification of character set (ICS)* + +This function must immediately follow the initiating sequence. It identifies the *escape* sequence used for the designation of the character set. + +### 7.2.3 *Select coding method (SCM)* + +This function defines the type of coding used to describe the DRCS character. + +### 7.2.4 *Select dot composition (SDC)* + +This function defines the number of bits horizontally and vertically in a character matrix, the number of bits per pixel, the number of grey scale levels and the number of colours accessible within a character position. + +### 7.2.5 *Pattern transfer (PT)* + +This is the active part of the down-loading process. It defines the code location of the first character and provides instructions and data to draw characters. It may also incorporate an error checking procedure. + +### 7.2.6 *Down-loading termination procedure (DLT)* + +The down-loading process is terminated by a specific procedure, which may include acknowledgement. + +## 7.3 *A possible coding scheme for the DRCS option* + +### 7.3.1 *Initiating sequence* + +The initiating sequence is ESC $F_s$ followed by $x$ bytes indicating the length of the loading data block, where $x$ is for further study. + +### 7.3.2 *Termination procedure* + +The down-loading process is terminated by means of counting the length of the loading data block. See §7.3.1. + +### 7.3.3 *Designation and invocation of loaded DRCS* + +7.3.3.1 Once loaded into the terminal, the DRCS is placed into a library. This library is used in the context of ISO 2022 in the 7-bit environment as implemented in earlier sections. Before invoking the designated DRCS, it is required to designate a C1 set to be associated with it. For the scheme described herein any of the C1 sets (to be registered) that are defined in §§ 2.2 and 2.3 may be used. + +7.3.3.2 The designation sequence will be of the form ESC $I_1$ , 2/0, ( $I_3 \dots I_n$ ) F. $I_1$ will be 2/8, 2/9, . . . or 2/15. $I_3 \dots I_n$ are optional, and if present together with F, will identify the set. Means for associating the designating sequence with the process of defining the character shapes will be for further study. + +# 8 **Alphaphotographic option** + +8.1 The alphaphotographic option is used to render an image by the transmission and display of individual picture elements. + +8.2 This option may include both continuous-tone images such as pictures of faces, etc., as well as pattern-oriented techniques for the display of pictures, including graphics, Latin and non-Latin characters for text, etc. The system features and attributes include colour and monochrome. + +8.3 The detailed system proposals are for further study. + +# 9 Service enhancements + +## 9.1 Introduction + +9.1.1 Many Administrations are offering or considering the introduction of a Videotex service, and it is recognized that this Recommendation may influence some of their decisions. While the other sections of this Recommendation contain details of those aspects of an international Videotex service that could be agreed upon, this § 9 identifies certain potential enhancements (features or attributes) that some Administrations believe need to be considered in future developments. + +9.1.2 It is recognized that some of these potential enhancements may only exist on national Videotex services, while others may have international application. However, an enhancement that begins on a national service only could become international in the future. Therefore, it is considered desirable to have international coordination of future enhancements. + +## 9.2 General + +9.2.1 The growth of international Videotex services during the years following the publication of this Recommendation will be greatly affected by the specific specifications contained in the other parts of this Recommendation. However, some Administrations believe that experiments with and/or implementation of certain enhancements will allow the development of an international service that provides a range of capabilities that will maximize the desirability and utilization of Videotex service. + +9.2.2 Some of the potential enhancements to Videotex service, national or international, are presented in the following. This is for the purpose of identifying to interested Administrations those enhancements that warrant serious consideration in the view of the CCITT, but which presently lack enough details to obtain the full agreement of all Administrations. + +9.2.3 The enhancements have been grouped into three categories in order to assist the reader in understanding the application of each individual enhancement (which may be referred to by some Administrations as attributes or features or some other descriptive phrase) and to prompt an orderly investigation of them: + +- a) display-related enhancements; +- b) transmission-oriented enhancements; +- c) system level enhancements. + +## 9.3 Display related enhancements + +9.3.1 Most of the currently planned and/or offered services utilize images created with only eight colours, which are formed by the various combinations (on or off) of three primary colours – red, green and blue. Limiting Videotex to eight colours is an unnecessary restriction, since the electronic emission devices controlling the red, green and blue colours can be caused to have more than just the two states of on or off. For example, with just eight different states or levels, a potential of 512 colours exist. Additionally, for those services that use a matrix-oriented screen (e.g. a mosaic graphic mode), different colours could be identified for foreground symbols to those for background areas. + +9.3.2 The ability to simulate motion (i.e. animation) is a potential enhancement that can be achieved by several means. These include: + +- a) alternating between slightly different display frames stored in the terminal; +- b) dynamically altering the colour of portions of the display image, making them appear or disappear by redefining the colour table (an image disappears when its colour is set to the same colour as the surrounding area); +- c) execution of a resident program to redefine the image at a controlled rate. + +9.3.3 The flashing of symbols or areas of the display has typically been limited to changing the foreground symbol (in the case of a matrix-oriented screen) to the background colour, momentarily, or some other single-state change. An enhanced flashing capability could allow for different rates of change and for various conditions associated with each change (e.g. colour X to colour Y, rather than foreground colour to background colour or foreground colour to black). + +9.3.4 Different pictorial (text and graphic) symbols may be developed that extend the repertoire of a Videotex service. This may be a fixed extension defined in the terminal memory, or can be a modification to the existing memory by downloading from the data base. The range of extended symbols includes different fonts of existing symbols, smoothed mosaic graphics, or other unique symbols. + +## 9.4 *Transmission oriented enhancements* + +9.4.1 The exchange of information directly between terminals, without communicating with a Videotex service may be permitted by some Administrations as an enhanced capability, and could be of value to the users of Videotex terminals. Such a capability would require the existence of control functions that might not, otherwise, be available in some terminals that utilize certain existing or planned national Videotex services, but this should not cause any incompatibilities with such services. + +9.4.2 The optimization of the coded character stream for maximum data rate is a valuable enhancement. This might be accomplished by utilizing an 8-bit per word coding format rather than the 7-bit per word format currently planned by most Administrations, coupled with a related decision on the line or link level protocol selected. The selection of an 8-bit per word format could permit a more efficient transmission of data. + +In addition, such techniques as run-length-encoding might be specified in the Recommendation to reduce the transmission of unnecessary or redundant data. The choice of higher speed modems/circuits is also considered by some Administrations as a way to optimize the transfer of data within or between Videotex services. + +9.4.3 For some applications of a Videotex service, sophisticated error detection and correction schemes may be required and should be considered with other transmission-oriented enhancements on future Videotex services. + +## 9.5 *System level enhancements* + +9.5.1 An enhancement seriously considered by some Administrations is the provision of a Videotex service that provides visual information, augmented by audio information. This capability could permit access by a terminal to visual-only information in a data base, and to visual/audio information in the same or other data base. The audio information might be associated with the visual information, or treated separately, or even alternately, depending upon the implementation. The audio information might be analogue or digitally encoded or handled as a composite signal. + +9.5.2 The provisioning of peripheral input/output devices associated with the Videotex terminal is an important enhancement for future services. These could include magnetic storage devices for recording visual/audio information as received by the terminal, or recorded locally by the terminal for subsequent transmission to a data base or other terminal. Various hard copy printing devices could also be provided, with their design based upon the specific visual capabilities of the terminal, e.g. degree of resolution and colour of the image on the display screen. + +# 10 **Line and end-to-end protocols** + +10.1 The purpose of § 10 is to describe the protocols needed for international Videotex transactions. Section 10 contains an introduction only. Detailed consideration is left for further study. + +10.2 The transfer of information from a data base of one service to a user of another service may be split up into two parts: + +- a) the information transfer from one service to another; +- b) the information transfer from the service to the user. + +## 10.3 *Line protocols* + +### 10.3.1 *Line protocols between services* + +10.3.1.1 The international line between national data base computers must be able to transmit transparent coding schemes identified in this Recommendation and accept the protocols of § 10.4. + +### 10.3.2 *Line protocols between service and user* + +#### 10.3.2.1 The following protocol functions should be studied: + +PF1: Start of coded data starts a sequence of data to be understood as textual information (could be coded as STX). + +PF2: Start of prefix causes the following bytes to be understood as a prefix containing framing information including codes for error check and/or correction (could be coded as SOH). + +PF3: End of coded data ends a sequence of data to be understood as textual information (could be coded as ETX). + +PF4: End of frame. Ends a frame of data and requests for reverse transmission and give an answer (could be coded as ETB). + +PF5: Answer given in case of error free reception or when error correction is possible (could be coded as ACK). + +PF6: Answer given in case of errors when no error correction is possible (could be coded as NAK). + +10.3.2.2 It is noted that TC1 to TC10 (SOH to ETB of Recommendation T.50) are intended to control the transmission of information over transmission networks. The use of these functions may therefore not be used as part of the information stream from one service to another. + +10.3.2.3 The use of protocol functions is for further study. + +## 10.4 *Protocols for communication between services on the application level* + +### 10.4.1 *General* + +10.4.1.1 International exchange of information between national Videotex services may be sent in blocks, here called messages. For efficient use of networks and communication equipment it is important to design the messages to minimize the capacity needed for applications that are frequently used in Videotex services. + +### 10.4.2 *Types of message elements* + +10.4.2.1 A complete message is composed of message elements. Each element contains an element identifier, a data field and an indication of element length (explicit or implicit). + +#### 10.4.2.2 *Transmit a standardized function* + +Codes for functions may be different from the character sequences, sent by the user. + +#### 10.4.2.3 *Transmit a service message* + +A service message is a frame that is transmitted to the subscriber, without erasing the screen, moving the active position of the cursor, or changing the contents of the previous display. + +#### 10.4.2.4 *Transmit a service message code* + +The proper service message is generated by the receiving system and transmitted to the subscriber. + +#### 10.4.2.5 *Transmit a frame* + +Billing and other additional information is to be transmitted together with the frame. + +#### 10.4.2.6 *Transmit data block* + +By data is meant all types of data that are not listed under separate items, e.g. software. It is necessary to transmit block length when transmitting transparent data. + +#### 10.4.2.7 *Transmit field description* + +A field description is a list of positions on the screen, where an application program expects additional information to be filled in, either by the user or by the application program itself. It includes also format and type of information which allows simple syntax control in the host computer. + +Three formats are recognized; strings, which means any combination of graphical characters including space, integers (0-9), and free format. + +A field may be of input and/or output type. An input field is a field where the information is user originated. An output field is a field in which the information is filled in by the application program. + +#### 10.4.2.8 *Transmit a user message to an application* + +A user message is the data that is filled in by the user according to a field description. It is sent to the external computer. The transmission is initiated either by a send-function if it is available, or when all input fields are filled. The use of a delimiter causes the rest of the field to be filled with spaces. If a delimiter is used in the first position of a combined input and output field, the contents remain unchanged. + +#### 10.4.2.9 *Transmit an application message* + +An application message is a block of data to be filled into the output fields, defined by a field description. It may be sent either in the same message as the field description, or after. + +#### 10.4.2.10 *Request information on terminal capability* + +(For further study.) + +#### 10.4.2.11 *Transmit information on terminal capability* + +(For further study.) + +#### 10.4.2.12 *Error condition element* + +The detection of contradicting information in a system will result in an error condition message to the other system, e.g. data with a format different to the corresponding field description. The entire message causing the error will be ignored, and it is the responsibility of its transmitting system to handle the error properly. + +## 10.5 *User to data base protocol* + +10.5.1 In order to use Videotex service, a user must be able to generate a set of functions which enables him to access and use different applications. A set of user functions is listed in Recommendation F.300. + +10.5.2 The minimum set of characters to code these functions contains the digits 0-9 and two other symbols. For some applications however, the generation of alphanumeric as well as pictorial and attribute information and other control characters may be needed. + +10.5.3 Although it is desirable that all Videotex services employ the same keying sequences and visual identifiers for these functions, there are historical reasons why there will be different manners of coding the same user functions. + +10.5.4 Accessing the national service of another country using an international connection between services is possible, if the user obeys the function coding rules of the service of the other country. It is, however, possible that the local data bank may be able to translate the local keying sequence into the appropriate command in a national service level (see § 10.4.2.4). This subject is left for further study. + +# 11 Interworking with other services + +## 11.1 *Telex-Videotex* + +11.1.1 Telex is a message transfer service and therefore, interworking between telex and Videotex should be limited to the exchange of alphanumeric text between terminal equipments. + +11.1.2 Only the graphic characters of the Videotex graphic character repertoire corresponding to International Telegraph Alphabet No. 2 should be used to compose messages. + +11.1.3 The message format will be limited by the Videotex page format. + +11.1.4 Telex can only display alphanumeric information without the capability of displaying the other attributes of Videotex. + +## 11.2 *Teletex- Videotex* + +### 11.2.1 *Graphic character repertoire* + +11.2.1.1 The Teletex and Videotex graphic repertoires are largely identical. The following fallback representations of Videotex characters (see Table 2/T.100), may be transcoded at a Videotex-Teletex interworking facility. + +TABLE 2/T.100 + +| Identifier | Videotex character | Fallback representation | | +|--------------|--------------------|-------------------------|------| +| SM30 | ← | < | SA03 | +| SM31 | → | > | SA05 | +| SM32 | ↑ | ! | SP03 | +| SM33 | ↓ | ! | SP02 | +| SP19 | ‘ | ’ | SP05 | +| SP20 | ’ | ’ | SP05 | +| SP21 | “ | ” | SP04 | +| SP22 | ” | ” | SP04 | +| SM12 | — | — | SP10 | +| MG01 to MG63 | Block graphics | / | SP12 | + +11.2.1.2 For Teletex terminals having the ability to present the Videotex character repertoire in its entirety, the need for this transcoding disappears.

This repertoire consists of the total range of non-pictorial symbols, which may be communicated between Videotex services and terminals by means of coded character sets for Latin-alphabet based languages. + +B.1.2 The repertoire of graphic characters defined in this part of the Recommendation consists of: + +- a) Latin alphabetic characters, listed in § B.2, which comprise: + - the 52 small and capital letters of the basic Latin alphabet, + - combinations of basic Latin letters and diacritical marks, + - special alphabetic characters, which are neither basic Latin letters nor combinations of basic Latin letters and diacritical marks, +- b) non-alphabetic characters, listed in § B.3, which comprise decimal digits, currency signs, punctuation marks, arithmetic signs and miscellaneous symbols that have individual special meanings. + +B.1.3 A diacritical mark has no meaning as an individual character but is used only in combination with a basic Latin letter to form an

This file is an extract from the *Blue Book*. While the presentation and layout of the text might be slightly different from the *Blue Book* version, the contents of the file are identical to the *Blue Book* version and copyright conditions remain unchanged (see below). + +2 In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration” is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. + +# **DOCUMENT FACSIMILE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE GENERAL SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK** + +*(Mar del Plata, 1968; amended at Geneva, 1972, 1976 and 1980)* + +## **1 Type of circuits to be used** + +Since circuits of the general telephone network and the station lines of telephone subscribers should be capable of being used for document facsimile transmissions on the general network, the circuits to be used are those of the general switched network which have 2-wire terminals at both ends of the facsimile station. + +*Note* – For the actual document transmission, which is one-way, there is no need to cater for the disabling of echo suppressors. Compandors do not seem detrimental to document facsimile transmission. + +## **2 Overall loss** + +The conditions for overall transmission loss are the same as those for circuits of the general switched telephone network. + +## **3 Modulation** + +Equipment conforming to Recommendation T.2 or Recommendation T.3 may be used. In the case of Recommendation T.2 equipment, frequency modulation shall be used. + +## **4 Power** + +In order to avoid the risk that facsimile signals be disturbed, e.g. by dial pulses transmitted over adjacent channels or by noise, it is important that the sending level should be as high as possible, provided, however, that it shall not exceed $-13$ dBm0 on the trunk circuit for frequency-modulation equipment conforming to Recommendation T.2 or that the mean power in any hour, in one direction of transmission, shall not exceed 32 microwatts ( $-15$ dBm0) at the zero relative level point of the trunk circuit for equipment conforming to Recommendation T.3. + +The maximum power output of the transmitting apparatus into the line shall not exceed 1 mW whatever the frequency. + +## **5 Amplitude and phase distortion** + +Equipment conforming to Recommendation T.2 should not require any special treatment. However, equipment conforming to Recommendation T.3 may require both amplitude and phase distortion correction on certain connections. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

It provides a generic model for an application that communicates using T.120 services and defines a Generic Application Template specifying the use of T.122 (MCS) and T.124 (GCC) services that are commonly required by application protocols making use of T.120 services. This Recommendation provides a common structure to application protocol entities, ensuring that separate application protocol entities can coexist in the same conference. Application protocol entities that do not follow the operations defined in this Recommendation risk interfering with other application protocols. + +# GENERIC APPLICATION TEMPLATE + +(Geneva, 1996) + +# 1 Scope + +Whilst user applications themselves are not the subject of standardization, the protocols employed by a user application need to be standardized in order to guarantee interworking. This Recommendation provides a generic model for a T.120 application with a view to defining a common framework (the Generic Application Template) to form the basis of standardized application protocols. It also provides guidance to user application developers on how to exploit the T.120 infrastructure to achieve the desired application behaviour. The templates defined in this Recommendation are derived from terminal based application protocols; application protocols which incorporate an MCU component may require different provisions. + +A T.120 user application employs one or more Application Protocol Entities to communicate with user applications of similar functionality at other nodes in a conference. It is important to observe that, whilst it is not necessary to have identical implementations at each node in order to achieve interoperability, groups of communicating user applications must employ the same application protocols for the same general purpose. Differences in capabilities are resolved through a capability exchange mechanism. + +Each Application Protocol Entity (APE) consists of two components: + +- A generic portion which includes elements common to most or all application protocols, for example initialization and resource management. Such operations need only be specified once (in this Recommendation) and then referenced by each protocol specification. +- A function specific portion which enables user applications of like functionality to interwork. This part may be standardized in which case it is specified in a T.120 application protocol Recommendation, or non-standard. + +This Recommendation describes the components identified above and defines a Generic Application Template (GAT) containing those operations that are expected to be common to most T.120 application protocols. The Generic Application Template eases the task of the application protocol developer and provides a common structure for application protocol entities. This modular approach allows the function specific elements of a protocol specification to be clearly identified, and thus enables it to be reused more readily in other protocol specifications. This Recommendation defines a rigorous protocol which is expressed through a sequence of primitive operations. Furthermore, this Recommendation can be made normative by reference from standardized application protocol Recommendations. Use of the Generic Application Template in the definition of T.120 application protocols is encouraged. + +# 2 Normative References + +The following Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision: all users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below.

The scope of a user application is restricted to local functions (e.g. user interface) that do not affect communication between peer user applications. Each user application makes use of one or more Application Protocol Entities (APEs) that implement interworking protocols as shown in Figure 2. In the model described here, an APE can be further subdivided into two + +elements: an Application Resource Manager (ARM) and an Application Service Element (ASE). The ARM is responsible for the generic management of GCC and MCS resources whilst the ASE provides interworking of specific functionality; for example, an ASE may provide general purpose file transfer functionality as specified in Recommendation T.127, or still image exchange functionality as specified in Recommendation T.126. + +![T.120 system model diagram showing the hierarchy from User Applications to Network Specific Transport Protocols.](acfc53eca625d62b38aa2563efa95c3e_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the T.120 system model architecture, organized into several layers and components: + +- User Application(s) (Using both standard and non-standard Application Protocols)**: The top-level layer. +- User Application(s) (Using std.

Each Session has a Session Identifier whose value is equal to that of an MCS Channel ID, typically one that is used to transfer data within the group of APEs. In the models presented here, the channel associated with the Session Identifier is the first channel joined, although this is not required to be the case. It is known as the *Session Identifier Channel*. A user application that employs multiple APEs may participate in multiple application protocol sessions. Each session could have a unique Session Identifier, but this is not required. Different types of application protocol entity participate in different sessions, even if they have the same Session ID. An example scenario is illustrated in Figure 4. For each application protocol, it is possible to have a single application protocol session without a Session Identifier; this is referred to as the *registration session*. + +The following session types exist: + +**Registration Session:** may be used by both standard and non-standard application protocols. The purpose of a registration session is to enable applications to advertise their presence to the conference, without having to become active. This enables applications to determine which nodes in the conference have similar functionality, whilst at the same time consuming minimal resources. The registration session also allows applications to advertise application protocol specific functionality to the conference as non-collapsing capabilities. Applications would typically remain enrolled in the registration session for the duration of the conference in order to receive notification of any changes in functionality advertised by other nodes. An application enrolled in the registration session for a specific application protocol receives information on all sessions in the conference using that particular application protocol. + +![Diagram illustrating applications using multiple protocols across three sites (A, B, and C).

This ensures a clean segregation of active and dormant applications. This segregation is important because: + +- Any collapsing capabilities advertised by inactive applications may have an adverse impact on the capability set of the session. +- Defunct registry entries in a registration session resulting from application activity are likely to persist until the end of the conference. + +For each application protocol within a conference there can be at most one registration session. It is characterized by having a Session Key comprised of the appropriate Application Protocol Key and no Session ID. + +**Standard Base Session:** reserved for use by standardized application protocols. Access to a standard base session is unrestricted and all participants within the session have equal status, that of session member; they may join and leave the session at will. As the Session Identifier for a standard base session of a standardized application protocol is predefined (in Recommendation T.120), an application may join the session without any user intervention. A standard base session uses a static channel as the Session ID channel. The set of resources that need to be identified during the enrollment process for a standard base session may include further static or dynamic channels and tokens, as specified by the application protocol. Dynamic channels and tokens may be employed if additional resources are required beyond this basic set. + +Typically, the standard base session would be the preferred choice for an application using a standard application protocol that wishes to communicate with all peer applications within a conference. For each standardized application protocol within a conference, there is at most one standard base session. + +**Non-Standard Base Session:** reserved for use by non-standard application protocols. The non-standard base session allows applications which employ a common non-standard protocol to independently locate the same session, without requiring user intervention to select a specific session. Typically, the non-standard base session would be the preferred choice for an application using a non-standard application protocol that wishes to communicate with all peer applications within a conference. The non-standard base session uses an assigned (i.e. dynamic multicast) channel as Session ID, the identity of which is discovered using the GCC Application Registry. A consequence of participating in the non-standard base session is that the corresponding registration session is joined. For each non-standard application protocol within a conference there can be not more than one non-standard base session. Once all participants have left a non-standard base session it ceases to exist and must be recreated if required subsequently. + +**Public Session:** may be used by either standard or non-standard application protocols. A public session is typically used if the relevant base session for the protocol is already in use and a user wishes to establish further independent sessions to communicate with all peer applications within a conference. Access to a public session is uncontrolled. A public session has a designated creator. This is the APE which assigns the multicast Session Identifier channel and is responsible for registering the resources for the session; all other participants are members of the session. Any participant may join and leave a public session at will; they may optionally choose to invite other nodes to participate in the session using the GCC-Application-Invoke mechanism. A public session may persist after the creator of the session has left it or even detached. Once all participants have left a public session, no one can rejoin as the session ceases to exist. + +**Private Session:** may be used by either standard or non-standard application protocols. A private session is typically employed when a user wishes to restrict membership of an application protocol session to a selected subset of conference participants. A private session has a designated creator. This is the APE which convenes the private session and is responsible for registering the resources for the session. Participation in the private session is controlled by the session creator who must explicitly invite other applications to become members of the session. A private session ceases to exist after the creator of the session has disbanded it or detached. + +## 5.1 User application + +A user application addresses those tasks which have no direct effect on interworking (e.g. user interface) and which may thus be product and platform specific. The influence of the user application is felt at other sites through the application protocols it employs. + +A user application relies on the services of one or more Application Protocol Entities (APEs) to communicate with peer user applications at other nodes. It does not communicate with MCS or GCC; this is done by the APE(s). The interface between a user application and its APE(s) is a local matter and is outside the scope of this Recommendation. + +For each APE the user application employs, the user application defines the subset of that APE's capabilities to be advertised. It also selects the type of session (standard base, non-standard base, public, private or registration) when creating a new instance of that APE. + +The user application communicates with the appropriate APE to initiate an application session specifying the application capabilities and mode of operation for the session. Once a session has been established, all application protocol specific transactions are performed by the APE on behalf of the user application. + +## 5.2 Application Protocol Entity + +An Application Protocol Entity (APE) is employed by a user application to enable it to communicate with other user applications of like functionality, i.e. user applications which employ the same application protocol for the same purpose. For example, user applications which require general purpose file transfer functionality must employ an application protocol entity which uses the protocol defined in Recommendation T.127 and the application protocol key specified in Recommendation T.127 to guarantee interoperability. APEs may use either standard or non-standard application protocols. + +An APE has two conceptual components as shown in Figure 2: an Application Resource Manager (ARM) and an Application Service Element (ASE). The ARM provides generic functionality, common to many standardized application protocols, whilst the ASE provides functionality specific to its respective application protocol. + +In the general model, an Application Protocol Entity is characterized by the following attributes: + +- A single Application Resource Manager (ARM). +- A single Application Service Element (ASE). +- A single GCC SAP. +- Interaction with a Node Controller (outside the scope of T.120 Recommendations). +- One or more MCSAPs. +- A single enrolled MCS User ID. +- A capability list (including collapsing and non-collapsing capabilities). +- A single Session ID. (Peer APEs communicating with each other share the same Session ID. The absence of a Session ID indicates that the APE is enrolled in the registration session for the application protocol.) +- An Application Protocol Key. + +## 5.3 Application Resource Manager + +The Application Resource Manager (ARM) is responsible for managing GCC and MCS resources on behalf of the ASE within its APE. The ARM provides the following services: + +- Responding to indications from GCC (e.g. permission to enroll). +- Enrolling its APE with GCC. +- Obtaining handles from GCC. +- Attaching to an MCS domain to obtain a unique MCS User ID for its APE. +- Joining static channels. +- Identifying and joining assigned channels using the GCC Registry and MCS. +- Convening private channels and admitting peer APEs to such channels. +- Joining any private channels to which its APE has been admitted. +- Identifying and obtaining tokens from the GCC Registry. +- Identifying and assigning parameters using the GCC Registry. +- Deleting any redundant Registry entries for which the APE is responsible. +- Invoking peer APEs at other nodes. +- Processing Application Roster reports to determine the current negotiated Application Capability list and identity of peer nodes. +- Receiving GCC-Conductor-Assign and Release indications. +- Notifying its ASE of changes in conductorship status. + +## 5.4 Application Service Element + +The Application Service Element (ASE) provides application protocol specific functionality to the user application with resources obtained by the ARM. For example, in Recommendation T.127 the ASE provides general purpose file transfer functionality. Its operation is independent of the type (i.e. static or dynamic) and identity of tokens and channels passed to it. The ASE obtains the identity of resources to use from its ARM. In the case of transactions on private channels, the user application must specify the GCC Node IDs of those nodes with which communication is required. + +The ASE provides the following services: + +- Sending and receiving application protocol specific PDUs. +- Grabbing and releasing tokens and determining token status using MCS. +- Joining and leaving channels via the ARM. + +Table 1 defines the partitioning of primitives used by an APE between its ARM and ASE components.

For each application protocol employed, the user application must specify the following parameters to the corresponding ARM: + +- Whether it wishes to enroll or not (no further parameters are required if user application does not wish to enroll). +- Application protocol key. +- Session type (registration, standard base, non-standard base, public or private). +- Session ID (omitted if declaring support of a protocol through the registration session, enrolling in a non-standard base session or creating a new public or private session). +- List of dynamic tokens required. +- List of assigned channels required. +- List of private channels required (and optionally, nodes to be invited to those channels). +- Whether it is able to act as the application session conductor (if there is more than one application at a site participating in the same session, the local GCC provider shall determine which shall become conductor). +- List of application capabilities supported (as defined in the application protocol specification). Collapsing capabilities should be omitted for the registration session, but should be included for all other sessions. + +Table 2 specifies the parameters that are passed to the ARM for each application protocol employed by the user application. + +## 6.2 Enrollment + +In order to participate in a conference, a user application requires an APE (consisting of an ARM and an ASE) for each protocol it employs. The method of creating APEs is a local matter, outside the scope of this Recommendation. Each APE must then, in turn, establish a GCC SAP to allow it to communicate with the GCC provider at that node; again, how this is achieved is a local matter. Similarly, each APE must establish an MCSAP to allow it to communicate with its local MCS Provider. + +When the node joins a conference, or an APE establishes a GCC SAP subsequent to joining one or more conferences, the local GCC provider notifies all APEs at that node by issuing a GCC-Application-Permission-to-Enroll indication with the Grant/Revoke flag set to Grant. For each protocol employed by the user application, the respective ARM shall then issue a GCC-Application-Enroll request, regardless of whether the user application wishes to enroll at that time. If the user application does not wish to enroll an APE, the corresponding ARM shall specify the conference ID and set the Enroll/Un-enroll flag in the GCC-Application-Enroll request to Un-enroll. No other parameters are required. The user application may instruct its ARM(s) to enroll at any time subsequently, unless permission is revoked by receipt of a GCC-Application-Permission-to-Enroll indication with the Grant/Revoke flag set to Revoke. + +A user application may wish to receive information on all sessions in progress before deciding whether to participate in an existing session or to create a new session. It may do this by instructing its ARM(s) to enroll Inactive in the registration session as described in 6.2.1. + +If the user application wishes to alert peer applications at other nodes to its presence but does not wish to participate in a session immediately, it may instruct its ARM to enroll inactive in the registration session without an MCS User ID. This enables the user application to declare support of one or more protocols without consuming MCS resources. + +TABLE 2/T.121 + +### **APE parameters** + +| Parameter | Description | +|--------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Enroll/Un-enroll | This parameter is set to ENROLL if the user application wishes to enroll immediately and to UN-ENROLL if the user application wishes to withdraw enrolment. If set to UN-ENROLL, no further parameters are required. | +| Application-protocol-key | The Application Protocol Key identifies the Application Protocol used in an Application Protocol Session. Multiple Application Protocol Sessions with the same purpose are identified using the same Application Protocol Key (but different Session IDs). An Application Protocol Key is either an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER belonging to a Recommendation, Standard, or non-standard protocol, or, alternatively, it is a non-standard identifier using the encoding conventions of Recommendation T.124 (which uses T.35 country codes like Recommendation H.221). | +| SessionType |

This parameter can have one of the following five values:

registration: The registration session allows a user application to advertise its presence to the conference and also provides a means of locating the non-standard base session. No sessionID is required

standard base: This value indicates that the ARM should enroll using a Session Key composed of the application protocol key and the sessionID parameter. It shall use the static predefined channel(s) and static token(s) as defined in the application protocol specification and assigned in Recommendation T.120 as the basic set of resources. This session type is only valid for standardized application protocols

non-standard base: This value indicates that the ARM should first enroll in the registration session to determine the sessionID assigned to the non-standard base session by consulting the GCC Registry. If a sessionID does not already exist, one is assigned by the ARM. The ARM shall then enroll in the non-standard base session using a Session Key composed of the application protocol key and the sessionID parameter. Members of a non-standard base session may determine Token and Channel IDs via the GCC Registry. This session type is only valid for non-standard application protocols

public: This value indicates that the ARM should enroll using a Session Key composed of the application protocol key and the sessionID parameter. If the sessionID parameter is omitted, one is assigned by the ARM. All channel and token resources are dynamic and are allocated by the creator of the public session using the MCS-Channel-Join and GCC-Registry-Assign-Token mechanisms respectively. Members of a public session may determine Token and Channel IDs via the GCC Registry

private: This value indicates that the ARM should enroll using a Session Key composed of the application protocol key and the sessionID parameter. If the sessionID is omitted, one is assigned by the ARM. All channel and token resources are dynamic and are allocated by the Private Convenor ARM using the MCS-Channel-Convene and GCC-Registry-Assign-Token mechanisms respectively. The ARM creating the session may then admit to the channel(s) peer APEs at the nodes whose GCC Node Ids are present in the admitList protocol parameter.

A Private Member ARM must wait for its APE to be admitted by the convenor of the private MCS channels before attempting to join them

| +| SessionID |

This parameter is used to differentiate the resources used by multiple sessions of the protocol that may be in existence simultaneously within the same MCS domain.

The sessionID must be specified if the user application wishes to participate in a standard base session or in an existing public or private session. It is omitted if the user application wishes to create a new public or private session, participate in a non-standard base session, or if the user application wishes to enroll in the registration session without consuming MCS resources. With the exception of the registration session, the MCS Channel ID assigned as a start-up channel is used as the sessionID, since this is guaranteed to be unique within the conference domain.

SessionType = private and sessionID omitted

List of GCC NodeIDs corresponding to the Nodes at which peer APEs are to be admitted to the privately convened channels.

Else

Omitted

| +| ResourceList |

This is a list of resources (channels, tokens, registry parameters and handles) required by the user application.

SessionType = standard base:

Resource List comprises the MCS IDs of static channels to be joined by the APE and static tokens to be used by the APE. It may optionally contain a list of Resource Ids for determining the MCS IDs of dynamic channels and tokens via the GCC Registry. It may also specify the number of Registry handles required and include a list of Resource Ids for Registry parameters and value of those parameters (where appropriate).

SessionType = public, private, or non-standard base:

Resource List comprises a list of Resource Ids for determining the MCS IDs of dynamic channels and tokens via the GCC Registry. It may also specify the number of Registry handles required and include a list of Resource Ids for Registry parameters and value of those parameters (where appropriate). If the Session ID is omitted (i.e. the APE is the session convenor), the ARM is responsible for assigning and registering all channels and tokens specified in the Resource List. If the Session ID is present (i.e. the APE is a session member), the ARM is responsible for retrieving all channels and tokens. In both cases, the Resource ID and associated MCS Channel ID or Token ID are passed by the ARM to its ASE.

SessionType = registration

Omitted

| +| Conducting Operation Capable | Set if the APE is capable of becoming the session Conductor in conducted mode | +| Non-Collapsing Capabilities List | Any non-collapsing capabilities specified by the application protocol and supported by the ASE | +| Application Capability List | Any collapsing capabilities specified by the application protocol and supported by the ASE | +| Expected Capability List |

SessionType = private and sessionID omitted:

Indicates any application capabilities that must be supported by invoked APEs, allowing the creator of a private session to specify a minimum capability set for that session.

Else

Omitted

| + +When the application decides to become active, each ARM must adopt an MCS User ID. A new MCS User ID is acquired by the ARM issuing an MCS-Attach-User request to the MCS provider, using the Conference ID contained in the GCC-Application-Permission-to-Enroll indication as the Domain Selector. On receipt of a successful MCS-Attach-User confirm in response, an ARM shall join the User ID channel indicated by issuing an MCS-Channel-Join request and supply the User ID to the corresponding ASE. + +Subsequent operations are dependent on the session type. Note that the processes described need to be repeated for each APE employed by a user application. Observe that a common feature of the model templates (with the exception of the registration session template) is that the Session ID channel is the start-up channel, its type determines the session type, and it is always joined during the initiation sequence of an APE. + +The procedures defined for session enrollment and joining the start-up channel must be followed in the order specified for each of the session types described. If an application protocol does not require the use of any further resources (channels, tokens or registry parameters), an ARM may omit the inactive enrollment operation. Where an application protocol makes use of tokens, registry parameters or additional dynamic channels, this Recommendation imposes no requirement on the order of assigning or identifying those resources. If an application protocol makes use of GCC handles, these may be allocated during the application enrollment process and at any time subsequently during the lifetime of a session. + +To minimize the initialization period it is permissible to identify multiple channels in parallel by interleaving the operations required for each channel. For example, a session creator may choose to convene all required channels and then register all those channels, rather than convening and registering each channel separately. For any given channel, however, the sequence of operations defined in this Recommendation must be followed. + +An APE can only be considered to be part of a session when its ARM receives a GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication in which its Entity ID is present. An APE shall not submit data to a session until it receives such a roster report indication. However, APEs should be prepared to buffer all data received for a session between enrolling active in a session and receiving a roster report in which the APE Entity ID is present. This is because another APE may have received a roster report indication containing the new participant and submit data to the session which reaches the new participant before the corresponding roster report. Application protocols may specify how this buffered data is to be processed. + +### 6.2.1 Registration session + +If the user application wishes to alert peer applications at other nodes to its presence, but does not wish to participate in a session immediately, it may instruct its ARM to enroll in the registration session without an MCS User ID. This enables the user application to declare support of one or more application protocols without consuming MCS resources. It also receives information on all sessions in progress for each of the application protocols advertised. Each ARM issues a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the Enroll/Un-enroll flag set to Enroll and the Active/Inactive flag set to Inactive, specifying the Session Key of its respective protocol without a Session ID.

The ARM shall issue a GCC-Registry-Register-Channel request using a Registry Key comprised of the Session Key (with no Session ID) and the Resource ID “BASE” encoded as a four consecutive octets according to Recommendation T.50. On receipt of the GCC-Registry-Register-Channel confirm, the ARM shall examine the result parameter. + +If the result is “index already exists”, then the non-standard base session has already been registered by another APE; its Session ID is provided in the Registry Item parameter. In this case, the ARM shall first leave the channel it had previously assigned by issuing an MCS-Channel-Leave request specifying the Channel ID returned in the MCS-Channel-Join confirm. The ARM shall then assume the role of session member and enroll in the existing base session by following the process described for a public session member in 6.2.4. This process is illustrated in Figure 9. An attempt to join the start-up channel identified in the GCC-Registry-Register-Channel confirm may fail if the Registry Item parameter points to a defunct non-standard session (i.e. the session’s start-up channel no longer exists); in such circumstances the ARM may attempt to reuse this defunct session by issuing a GCC-Registry-Delete-Entry request, using the same Registry Key as before.

See Figure 13. + +If the sessionID parameter is present, the ARM shall enroll Inactive in the session indicated by issuing a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the Active/Inactive flag set to Inactive and specifying the Session Key with the requisite Session ID. The ARM shall then wait until it has received an MCS-Channel-Admit indication from the peer ARM at the node convening the private session. It then attempts to join the channel indicated in this primitive by issuing an MCS-Channel-Join request and notifies the corresponding ASE if the channel join succeeded. The Channel ID is used as the session ID. + +If the application protocol requires multiple channels to be joined before an APE can be considered to be an active participant in a session, then the ARM shall wait to be admitted to those channels and then join them accordingly. Further channels may be joined as required when the application session is in progress. Likewise, if an application protocol mandates that an APE must know the identity of tokens or registry parameters before interacting with its peers, the ARM may determine their identity via the GCC Registry. + +The ARM shall then enroll Active by issuing a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the parameters specified in Table 3. + +If the sessionID parameter is omitted, the ARM shall attempt to create a new private session. The private convenor ARM shall first convene a private channel by issuing an MCS-Channel-Convene request. If successful, the returned MCS-Channel-Convene confirm contains the ID of the channel allocated. The channel ID also becomes the Session ID. The ARM shall then join this channel by issuing an MCS-Channel-Join request. The ARM shall then enroll Inactive in the session by issuing a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the parameters specified in Table 3. + +The onus of acquiring the set of resources that needs to be identified as part of the enrollment process for a private session rests with the ARM that created the session. If any additional channels, registry parameters or tokens are mandated by the protocol specification, the ARM should create these and register them with GCC as necessary. The Registry Key used to register these resources shall include the Session ID as part of the Session Key. Observe that it may not be necessary to register private channels to allow members of a private session to determine the function of each channel. This information may be conveyed more efficiently if an application protocol mandates the order in which the convenor issues MCS-Channel-Admit request primitives to session members. Registering of private channels is not precluded, however. + +Once all resources have been successfully assigned, the ARM shall enroll Active in the session by issuing a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the parameters specified in Table 3. + +The ARM shall then attempt to invite other nodes to participate in the private session by issuing a GCC-Application-Invoke request, specifying a list of GCC Node IDs to be invited or NULL (indicating that all nodes in the conference are to be invited) as the destination Nodes parameter.

The diagram includes conditional branches and loops for additional channels, tokens, and parameters. + +## 6.3 Forming registry keys + +To determine the identity of a dynamic token or channel via the GCC Registry, an ARM must form a registry key which consists of the Session Key for the current session and a Resource ID. A Resource ID is an ASN.1 OCTET STRING which describes the specific channel or token whose ID is required. The construction of Resource IDs for channels and tokens shall be defined in the application protocol specification. + +## 6.4 Capability negotiation + +APEs use the application enrollment mechanism for capabilities negotiation. The Application Capabilities List parameter of the GCC-Application-Enroll request primitive is used to specify the list of capabilities supported by the local APE. + +The Application Capabilities List included in the GCC-Application-Enroll request is composed of a list of capabilities to be advertised as supported by the APE. The result of the capabilities negotiation procedure is made apparent to the ARM by the receipt of a GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication from the GCC provider. The application roster report includes the Application Roster for peer APEs within the indicated conference – that is, APEs which have designated the same Session Key. The Application Roster includes a list of nodes for which a peer APE has enrolled. For each node, the list contains the GCC User ID of that node, and the Application User ID of the peer APE at that node. The Application Roster also includes an instance number, a flag indicating whether new nodes have been added since the last instance, a flag indicating whether nodes have been removed since the last instance, a flag indicating whether the Application Capabilities List has been updated since the last instance, and if so, the new Application Capabilities List. In the case of a newly enrolling APE, the Application Capabilities List is always updated since previous instances of the list are not available to this APE. + +When first enrolling, an ARM shall ignore received GCC-Application-Roster-Report indications in which the APE is not included (i.e. there is no entry in the Application Roster which has the GCC User ID of the local node and the Application Protocol Entity ID of the local APE as indicated in the GCC-Application-Enroll confirm). Once a roster is received which includes the local APE, that APE is now considered part of the conference and may proceed examining the roster to determine how to proceed. + +The Application Capabilities List received as part of the GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication corresponds to the collapsed Application Capabilities Lists of all enrolled peer APEs. That is, the list includes an entry for each capability which has been issued by any peer APE. For each entry, it includes the Capability ID, the number of peer APEs (including the local one) which had advertised this capability as part of their enroll procedure, and, in the case of capabilities of the MIN or MAX class, the minimum or maximum value of the parameter among all peer APEs which advertised this capability. For each capability, the rules used to determine the result of the capability exchange are specified by the application protocol. + +At any time whilst an APE is enrolled in a conference, the APE may receive additional GCC-Application-Roster-Report indications from the GCC provider indicating that the contents of the roster have changed. This may be due to new peer APEs enrolling in the conference, peer APEs leaving the conference, or peer APEs having modified their enrollment information. + +If, at any time, the local APE desires to indicate a change in its Application Capabilities List, it may re-enroll. This is done by re-issuing a GCC-Application-Enroll request to the GCC provider with the Enroll/Un-enroll flag set to Enroll and the updated Application Capabilities List, as well as the other parameters normally included in the enroll request. The result of this is potentially a change to the Application Roster, resulting in receipt of a GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication by the local APE as well as all other peer APEs in the conference. + +## 6.5 Leaving a session + +A user application wishing to leave a session shall signal this to the ARM. Before un-enrolling from the session, the ARM is responsible for deleting any GCC Registry entries it may have created, subject to them being no longer required by the rest of the participants in the session. The method of determining this is specified by the application protocol. The ARM leaves the session by issuing a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the Enroll/Un-enroll flag set to Un-enroll. No other parameters are required. + +If, at any time, the ARM receives a GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication in which it is no longer included (i.e. its Entity ID is absent), the ARM shall issue an MCS-Detach-User request immediately to detach from the specified conference. The APE is no longer considered to be enrolled in the conference at this time but may attempt to re-enroll in the conference by repeating the steps of its initialization. + +If, at any time, the ARM receives a GCC-Application-Permission-To-Enroll indication with the Grant/Revoke flag set to Revoke, it shall issue an MCS-Detach-User request immediately to detach from the specified conference. The APE is no longer considered to be enrolled in the conference at this time and shall not attempt to re-enroll. + +If the ARM is a member of a private session and it receives a GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication for that session in which the session creator is no longer included (i.e. its entity id is absent), the session is considered to have ceased to exist. The ARM shall immediately issue a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the Enroll/Un-enroll flag set to Un-enroll to detach from the specified session. No other parameters are required. + +# **7 Review of MCS resources and GCC services** + +This clause provides a review of the use of MCS resources (channels and tokens) and the GCC Registry. A fuller treatment of these topics is given in Recommendations T.122, T.125 and T.124. Note that whilst the onus of obtaining the initial set of resources for a session rests with the session creator, any session member may acquire additional resources at any time, if so permitted in the protocol specification. + +Application Service Elements (ASEs) should be designed such that, as far as possible, their operation is independent of the type of resource (i.e. static or dynamic) available to the session. + +## **7.1 Channels** + +MCS channels are used for the distribution of data within a conference. MCS Channels are divided into two types *static* and *dynamic*, the latter type having three variants, viz User ID Channel, Assigned Channel and Private Channel (see 8.4/T.122). An ARM subscribes to and leaves channels required by its user application by using the *channel join* and *channel leave* services respectively. + +### **7.1.1 Static channel** + +A channel with MCS Channel ID in the range 1-1000. Static channels are reserved for use by standardized application protocols such as T.126 and T.127. Static channels are assigned to their respective protocols in Recommendation T.120; each static channel has a specified purpose as described in the corresponding application protocol Recommendation. A standardized application protocol may use one or more static channels. For each standardized application protocol, one of the channels shall be designated as the *start-up* channel; this is the channel whose MCS Channel ID is used as the Session ID for the standard base session of that protocol. + +Static channels may only be used in the standard base session of the corresponding standardized application protocol. They are typically joined by all APEs participating in such a session and are thus used for broadcasting data to the session. + +The ARM shall examine the Resource List parameter to determine whether it needs to join any static channels. For each static channel identified in the Resource List the ARM shall issue an MCS-Channel-Join request, specifying the appropriate Channel ID. If this is successful, the ARM shall pass the Channel ID to its ASE. + +### **7.1.2 Dynamic channel** + +A channel with MCS Channel ID in the range 1001-65535. Dynamic channels form a pool of channel resources available to all sessions within a conference. The function of a dynamic channel is not predefined, but is determined by an APE when it issues a request for a dynamic channel. There are three variants of dynamic channel: User ID Channel, Assigned Channel and Private Channel. + +### 7.1.3 User ID channel + +An MCS Channel joined by a single APE. An MCS User ID Channel uniquely identifies an APE and may be used for sending data exclusively to that APE. A User ID is required when an APE undertakes to enroll Active. To acquire a unique User ID, the ARM shall issue an MCS-Attach-User request to the MCS provider, using the Conference ID contained in the GCC-Application-Permission-to-Enroll indication as the Domain Selector. On receipt of a successful MCS-Attach-User confirm in response, the ARM shall join the User ID channel indicated by issuing an MCS-Channel-Join request. See Figure 14. + +![Sequence diagram showing the process of obtaining an MCS User ID channel. The diagram involves Local APE, Local GCC Provider, Local MCS Provider, Remote MCS Provider(s), Remote GCC Provider(s), and Remote APE(s). The Local APE sends MCS-ATTACH-USER.req to the Local MCS Provider. The Local MCS Provider sends MCS-ATTACH-USER.con back to the Local APE. The Local APE then sends MCS-CHANNEL-JOIN.req to the Local MCS Provider. The Local MCS Provider sends MCS-CHANNEL-JOIN.con back to the Local APE. The Local APE also sends [APE User ID = unique new] to the Local GCC Provider. The Local GCC Provider sends [Channel ID = APE User ID] to the Local MCS Provider. The Local MCS Provider then sends the request to the Remote MCS Provider(s). The Remote MCS Provider(s) sends the response to the Remote GCC Provider(s).

Access to these channels is unregulated, i.e. any APE may join or leave an assigned channel at any time. If all APEs leave an assigned channel, it ceases to exist and its Channel ID may be re-assigned to a different use; this is a potential pitfall. See Figure 15. + +Assigned channels may be used in either standard base, non-standard base or public sessions. Use in private sessions is not recommended since any APE can join an assigned channel if it is aware of the channel's existence. + +The start-up channel of a public or non-standard base session is an assigned channel. + +If additional assigned channels are required after a session has been established, then the ARM shall first attempt to create a new assigned channel by issuing an MCS-Channel-Join request primitive with Channel ID = 0. The returned MCS-Channel-Join confirm, if successful, contains the assigned Channel ID which is to be used as the assigned channel. The ARM may then attempt to register assigned this channel by issuing a GCC-Registry-Register-Channel request with the parameters given in Table 4. On receipt of the corresponding GCC-Registry-Register-Channel confirm, the ARM shall examine the Result parameter. If this is "successful" the ARM shall notify its ASE of the Channel ID assigned to the assigned channel. A Result of "index already exists" indicates that another ARM has already registered an assigned channel with the same Registry Key. In this case the ARM shall leave the channel it had previously created by issuing an MCS-Channel-Leave request. It shall then attempt to join the assigned channel registered by the other ARM by issuing an MCS-Channel-Join request, specifying the Channel ID returned in the Registry Item parameter of the GCC-Registry-Register-Channel confirm as Channel ID. If this succeeds, the ARM shall pass the Resource ID and corresponding Channel ID to its ASE. If the attempt fails, and the result is "no such channel", the ARM may re-attempt the channel creation process. In all other cases, the ARM should indicate to the ASE that it was unable to assign a channel.

It may be used for distribution of data to a selected subset of participants within a session. Access to a private channel is controlled by the APE that convened the channel. This APE is termed the Channel Manager and has the following privileges: + +- Privilege to admit other APEs to the private channel. +- Privilege to expel other APEs from the private channel. +- Privilege to disband the private channel. + +Private channels may be used in standard base, non-standard base, public or private sessions. + +The start-up channel of a private session is a private channel. + +If the convening user application wishes to remove one or more APEs from membership of the private channel, the Convenor ARM shall issue an MCS-Channel-Expel request, specifying the MCS-User IDs of the ASEs to be expelled as the list of MCS User IDs. + +Once the user application at the convening node indicates that it has no further use for the private channel, the Convenor ARM shall disband the channel by issuing an MCS-Channel-Disband request, specifying the private channel as Channel ID. All ARMs currently joined to the private channel then receive an MCS-Channel-Expel indication notifying them that the private channel is no longer available for use. + +If additional private channels are required after a session has been established, then the ARM shall follow the procedure described for the convenor or member as appropriate. See Figure 16. + +### 7.1.6 Potential problems with the use of MCS channels + +- i) MCS does not provide any indication to the members of a channel when an APE joins or leaves a channel. This is a particular problem in the use of private channels, since the private channel manager has no confirmation of whether the invited APEs have joined the private channel. A possible workaround (as implemented in Recommendation T.127) is for APEs to confirm that they have joined the private channel by sending a PDU to the Channel Manager's User ID Channel. +- ii) Caution is recommended in the use of assigned channels, since such channels cease to exist when all joined users leave. No indication is provided when this occurs. Since MCS can reuse dynamic channels, an APE should not attempt to use an assigned channel unless it is certain of its existence and current use. The presence of an entry in the GCC Application Registry for an assigned channel does not guarantee that the channel exists or that the use indicated by the Registry is still valid. +- iii) Data in transit on a private channel when the channel manager leaves, disbands or expels members from the channel may not reach its intended destinations since MCS may expel channel members before such data is delivered. Use of the MCS token inhibit service allows channel members to signal completion of a transaction to the channel manager, thus enabling the channel manager to avoid inadvertent data loss through premature expulsion of channel members. Each channel member is required to inhibit a designated token before the transaction may begin and must release that token on completion of the transaction. Application protocols must ensure that all channel members have inhibited the relevant token before the transaction starts. Alternatively, application protocols may define a PDU exchange between channel manager and channel members which ensures that all data is delivered before a private channel is disbanded. +- iv) Data in transit on any channel may not reach its intended destinations if the sending APE detaches before such data is delivered. The sending APE may avoid this by using the remedy described in iii). + +![Sequence diagram showing the management of a private channel between Local APE, Local GCC Provider, Local MCS Provider, Remote MCS Provider(s), Remote GCC Provider(s), and Remote APE(s).

The ordering of data received at each APE may differ and the sender of the data does not receive a copy of the data. + +Uniform Send Data provides sequenced delivery of data, i.e. it guarantees that each APE joined to an MCS Channel receives data in the same order. The sender of the data receives a copy of the data if the sender is joined to that channel. + +An APE must join an MCS Channel in order to *receive* data on that channel. An APE may *send* data to any MCS channel, irrespective of whether it is joined to that channel, with the exception of Private Channels where an APE must be admitted to the channel before it attempts to send data to the channel. + +## 7.3 Tokens + +Tokens provide a means to implement exclusive access to resources within a conference. For example, to prevent conflicting commands being issued to a device (such as a camera) by different users, it is desirable to restrict access to that device to a single user at any given instance. This can be achieved by associating a token with the device and mandating in the corresponding application protocol that only the current token holder is permitted to issue control commands to that device. + +Manipulation of tokens is supported by a number of MCS services: + +The *token grab* service allows one user to exclusively hold a specified token. Users may use the *token test* service to determine the status of a token at any time and may request the token from the holder with the *token please* service. The token holder may transfer control of a token to another specified user with the *token give* service or return a token to a generally available status with the *token release* service. The token please and token give services allow a token to be transferred between two users without the possibility of it being grabbed by a third user. + +Tokens may also be used for event coordination between multiple users via the *token inhibit* service. Users can independently inhibit and release the same token. For example, if it was desired to know when all users have completed reception and processing of a bulk file transfer, all users would inhibit the same token at the start of the operation and each individual user would release the token when it had completed the process. To avoid race conditions, it is necessary to ensure that all users have inhibited the token before testing whether the token has become uninhibited. Any user could test the token at will to determine if the token is free which means all users have completed processing. + +Tokens may be either static or dynamic. MCS treats all tokens identically; the distinction between static and dynamic tokens is made within GCC which uses the Registry to assign dynamic tokens. All operations on tokens are performed by the ASE using the MCS token services. + +### 7.3.1 Static tokens + +A token with MCS Token ID in the range 1-16383. Static tokens are reserved for use by standardized application protocols such as T.126 and T.127. Static tokens are assigned to their respective protocols in Recommendation T.120; each static token has a specified purpose as described in the corresponding application protocol Recommendation. A standardized application protocol may use zero or more static tokens. + +Static tokens may only be used in the standard base session of the corresponding standardized application protocol. + +The ARM has no involvement in the use of static tokens. + +### 7.3.2 Dynamic tokens + +A token with MCS Token ID in the range 16384-65535. Dynamic tokens form a pool of token resources available to all sessions within a conference. The function of a dynamic token is not predefined, but is determined when it is assigned by GCC. Dynamic tokens may be used in any type of session. See Figure 17. + +The ARM shall examine the Resource List parameter to determine whether it needs to identify Token IDs for any dynamic tokens. The same method may be used regardless of whether the ARM is the session convenor or a session member. For each Token Resource ID specified in the Resource List, the ARM shall issue a GCC-Registry-Assign-Token request to the GCC provider using the parameters specified in Table 7. If the Result parameter returned in the GCC-Registry-Assign-Token confirm is “successful” or “index already exists” the Token ID contained in the Registry Item of the returned confirm primitive is used as the Token ID for the token corresponding to the Resource ID used in the Registry Key. The ARM shall pass the Resource ID and associated Token ID to its ASE. + +Observe that it is not necessary to use the GCC-Registry-Retrieve-Entry to identify tokens since GCC-Registry-Assign-Token returns the Token ID irrespective of whether the token existed before the request was made. + +Additional dynamic tokens required during a session may be assigned by any participant in that session, subject to any constraints defined by the relevant application protocol specification. + +![Sequence diagram showing the process of assigning and identifying dynamic tokens between Local APE, Local GCC Provider, Local MCS Provider, Remote MCS Provider(s), Remote GCC Provider(s), and Remote APE(s).](67114ecf6da13c97a89aeff0d86885d5_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the sequence of operations for assigning and identifying dynamic tokens. It involves six participants: Local APE, Local GCC Provider, Local MCS Provider, Remote MCS Provider(s), Remote GCC Provider(s), and Remote APE(s). The operations are as follows: + +- Local APE** sends **GCC-Registry-Assign-Token.req** to **Local GCC Provider**. +- Local GCC Provider** sends **GCC-Registry-Assign-Token.con** to **Local APE**. +- Local APE** assigns token (Local APE assigns token). +- Remote APE(s)** sends **GCC-Registry-Assign-Token.req** to **Remote GCC Provider(s)**. +- Remote GCC Provider(s)** sends **GCC-Registry-Assign-Token.con** to **Remote APE(s)**. +- Remote APE(s)** identifies token (Remote APE identifies token). + +T0825470-96/d17 + +Sequence diagram showing the process of assigning and identifying dynamic tokens between Local APE, Local GCC Provider, Local MCS Provider, Remote MCS Provider(s), Remote GCC Provider(s), and Remote APE(s). + +FIGURE 17/T.121 +Assigning and identifying dynamic tokens + +TABLE 7/T.121 +Parameters for GCC-Registry-Assign-Token Request + +| Parameter | Contents | +|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| +| Conference ID | Provided by GCC-Application-Permission-To-Enroll indication | +| Registry Key | Registry Key formed as described in 6.3 | + +## 7.4 Application roster + +The ARM is responsible for monitoring GCC-Application-Roster report indications and notifying its ASE of any changes. The Application Roster Entry Report contains that portion of the roster corresponding to the application protocol session in which the APE is enrolled. In the case of an APE that has enrolled inactively without a Session ID, the Application Roster Report will contain that portion of the roster corresponding to all application sessions with the same application protocol key. + +At any time while an APE is enrolled in a conference, it may receive additional GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication, notifying it of a change in the roster contents. This may be due to new peer APEs enrolling in the conference, peer APEs leaving the conference, or peer APEs having modified their enrollment information. + +A user application may change its Application Capabilities List at any time by instructing the appropriate ARM to re-enroll. The ARM then issues a GCC-Application-Enroll request with the Enroll/Un-enroll flag set to Enroll, including the revised Application Capabilities List, and providing all other parameters as included in the initial active enrollment. This may result in a change to the collapsed capability set, in which case all APEs in the session will receive a GCC-Application-Roster-Report indication. + +The effect of any change in the collapsed capability set on any transactions occurring at the time of the change shall be specified by the respective application protocol. + +## 7.5 Application Registry + +The Application Registry is a centralized database maintained at the Top GCC Provider that may be used to allow APEs to independently determine the resources (such as dynamic channels and tokens) to be used for a specific application protocol session. The significance of the Registry contents is specified by individual application protocols. + +The Application Registry provides mechanisms to: + +- Register channels. +- Assign tokens. +- Assign globally unique handles, either individually or as a block of handles. +- Establish common parameters for the session. +- Change and delete registry entries. +- Retrieve registry entries. +- Monitor changes made to registry entries (including the deletion of entries). + +Each registry entry is identified by a unique key which identifies the application protocol session with which the entry is associated. The key also comprises a Resource ID, defined by the application protocol, to describe the use of the registry entry within that session. + +Each registry entry has a designated owner – the APE that created the entry. If the owner of an entry leaves the conference that entry becomes unowned. Owned entries may only be deleted by their respective owners; unowned entries may be deleted by any APE. Channel and token entries may not be modified. Owned parameter entries may be modified by their respective owners. Unowned parameter entries may be modified by any APE; this APE becomes the new owner of the entry. Registry entries persist for the lifetime of the session and care must be exercised by registry entry owners to ensure that registry entries are deleted when no longer required. This is particularly true in the case of the registration session where redundant entries are likely to persist indefinitely, unless explicitly deleted by the owner. Observe that in some cases it may be inappropriate or impossible for departing APEs to delete the entries they created. + +All communication between an APE and the Application Registry is performed by the ARM. + +## 7.6 Conductorship + +The ARM is responsible for notifying its ASE and user application when the conference enters or leaves conducted mode, and of any change in the conducting node. Other operations in conducted mode are performed directly by the user application or ASE. + +A user application shall issue requests for its local node to become the GCC conductor, transfer conductorship, or relinquish conductorship via its local Node Controller. + +The *session conductor* is an APE at the conducting node which has the Conducting Operation Flag set in the Application Roster for that session. The Node Controller at the conducting node proxies as session conductor in the absence of such an APE. + +If an APE adopts the role of session conductor, its ASE shall arbitrate requests from peer ASEs to act. Such requests and the associated responses shall be issued using PDUs specified by the application protocol. These may be used to assign different privileges to each ASE in the session. + +If a Node Controller becomes session conductor, it may only grant or refuse permission to act on a node by node basis. This gives much coarser control of ASEs. An ASE may request permission to act via its local Node Controller, which in turn issues a GCC-Conductor-Permission-Ask. If the conducting Node Controller issues a GCC-Conductor-Permission-Grant which includes the requesting node in the “List of Nodes Granted Permission” then all ASEs at that node may act. + +The detailed effect of conductorship is specified by each application protocol specification. + +## 7.7 Remote invoking + +A user application wishing to dynamically invoke a peer application at another node and invite it to join the application session shall do this via the ARM. The user application must provide the following information for each application protocol it wishes to use: + +- Session Key. +- Start-up channel type (static, dynamic multicast, dynamic private or dynamic userid). +- Minimum capability set. +- List of nodes to be invited to the application session. + +The ARM then issues a GCC-Application-Invoke request, specifying a list of GCC Node Ids of the nodes to be invited, the start-up channel type, a list of application protocol sessions to enroll in and, for each application protocol, the expected (i.e. minimum) capability set. + +GCC-Application-Invoke indications are delivered to the Node Controller which is responsible for determining which APEs to activate. + +# 8 User application guidelines + +This clause provides guidelines on use of the T.120 infrastructure to ensure consistent and predictable application behaviour. + +## 8.1 Identification of user applications + +In certain circumstances it may be useful to be able to determine which nodes host a specific user application or the range of user applications available at a remote node. This may be required for both local and remote invocation of user applications. An APE may optionally choose to identify its user application by inclusion of a non-standard non-collapsing capability parameter in the GCC-Application-Enroll request. By consulting the Application Roster via its APE, a user application can thus detect the presence of a particular user application at other nodes. A Node Controller receiving a GCC-Application-Invoke indication may choose to consult the user application capability entries in the Application Roster for the appropriate session(s) to determine which user applications are active at other nodes before activating a user application locally. Note that a Node Controller will only be able to detect the presence of a given user application if it is aware of the non-collapsing capability parameter advertised by that application. + +Non-standard application protocol keys may only be used to advertise support of a non-standard application protocol. Enrolling with a non-standard application protocol key to advertise the presence of a specific user application is strongly discouraged as it would prevent interoperability with other user applications that employ the same application protocol for the same purpose. + +## 8.2 Use of collapsing and non-collapsing capabilities + +An APE may use the non-collapsing capabilities field in the GCC-Application-Enroll request to identify its user application and advertise its application protocol specific capabilities. + +Use of a non-collapsing capability parameter in the GCC-Application-Enroll request is appropriate if there is a need to identify *which particular* peer APEs support a given capability in order to guarantee interoperability. Alternatively, it may be used to advertise the availability of a resource to the conference (e.g. a camera available for remote control). If the APE only needs to determine the *number* of peer APEs that support a specific capability, then it should use a collapsing capability. In order to avoid making the Application Roster unnecessarily large, it is strongly recommended that the number of non-collapsing capabilities be kept to an absolute minimum. + +## 8.3 Session context + +If a conference has multiple concurrent sessions of a specific application protocol then there may be a need to distinguish those sessions so that users can select the most appropriate session in which to participate. Typically, a session would be used in a specific context which is determined by the participants of the session. For example, one T.126 whiteboard session may be used to present one topic, another could be used to present a second topic. The different contexts of these sessions allow them to be distinguished. + +A GCC Application Registry Parameter may optionally be used to describe the context of a specific application protocol session. A Resource ID (constructed by encoding the 7 characters of the word “CONTEXT” into successive octets according to Recommendation T.50) is reserved for this purpose. The content of the Registry Parameter is a user readable string which shall be encoded as an unrestricted BMPString using Packed Encoding Rules (Basic Aligned variant). The resulting encoded bit string is placed into the OCTET STRING in the order such that for each octet, the leading bit is placed in the most significant bit position, and the trailing bit is placed in the least significant bit position. + +## 8.4 Selecting a session to participate in + +If a user simply wishes to communicate with *any* node that supports *the same application protocol(s) for the same purpose* then the most appropriate session to use is the: + +- standard base session for standardized application protocols (see 8.3); +- non-standard base session for non-standardized application protocols. + +The base sessions are intended for general purpose communication between all terminals that support a specific protocol (e.g. the T.127 standard base session would be used for general purpose file transfer). + +Note that an APE may be configured to enroll in a base session without user intervention, thus allowing user applications based on standard or non-standard protocols to be started automatically upon joining a conference. + +If there are multiple active sessions of a given application protocol present in a conference, a user may need to intervene. The user requires sufficient information to choose the most appropriate session(s) in which to participate, or to determine whether it is necessary to establish a new session. + +This decision may be based on one or more of the following criteria: + +- the session context (e.g. topic of discussion). +- which nodes are participating in the session. +- the negotiated capability set of the session. + +## 8.5 Controlling the use of a session + +The creator of a session may wish to impose constraints on a session to ensure that less capable APEs do not inadvertently enroll in the session and potentially degrade the capabilities of the session to a level which is considered unacceptable by the session creator. If a user wishes to impose a *minimum capability set* on a session, then a dynamic private session shall be used. The session creator specifies the requisite capability criteria in the GCC-Application-Invoke request. + +If a user wishes to indicate that a session is to be used in a *specific context*, then a dynamic session should be used and a session context (user readable text string) shall be provided in the GCC Application Registry for that session. + +## 8.6 Adding new participants to a session + +The GCC-Application-Invoke request primitive may be used by the convenor of a private session to invite additional nodes (e.g. late joiners) to that session at any time. Any participant in a standard base, non-standard base or public session may invite new nodes to that session at any time using GCC-Application-Invoke request. A Node Controller receiving a GCC-Application-Invoke indication may choose to ignore it if there is already an active APE at that node in the session identified. + +## 8.7 Extension, modification and reuse of application protocols + +Application protocols are tools which can be extended, modified or tailored to a specific use. In order to determine whether such changes result in a new distinct protocol or are merely an extension of the existing protocol, it is necessary to decide whether APEs conforming to the changed application protocol are intended to interwork with APEs conforming to the original application protocol. If interworking is intended, then the revised protocol can be considered to be an extension of the existing protocol, otherwise it is a new application protocol and must be assigned a unique application protocol key and resources. + +If an APE offers proprietary extensions to an application protocol, such *that it is intended to be able to interwork with APEs conforming to the original protocol*, then it shall enroll with the application protocol key of the original protocol and advertise its enhanced functionality using collapsing or non-collapsing capabilities, according to the guidelines specified in 8.2. + +Where an application protocol is to be used for a distinct purpose or is modified in such a way that *APEs conforming to the revised protocol are not intended to be able to interwork with APEs conforming to the original protocol*, then the revised protocol is considered to be a new application protocol and it must be assigned a unique application protocol key to differentiate it from the original protocol. Any static channels and tokens used by the original application protocol cannot be used by the revised protocol. These rules also apply if use of an application protocol is constrained in any manner. For example, APEs employing the methods (PDUs and procedures) of Recommendation T.127 exclusively for transfer of documents between word processor applications shall not enroll with the T.127 application key if they are not intended to be able to interwork with a general purpose file transfer APE, nor shall they use the static channels and tokens reserved for Recommendation T.127. + +Similarly, if a number of application protocols are required to collaborate to achieve certain functionality (e.g. a business card application protocol reusing the methods of Recommendations T.126 and T.127), then new application key(s) are required if the component APEs are only intended to interwork with other APEs collaborating for the same purpose. + +Where application protocols are being combined to achieve a specific function, the preferred approach is to define a single new application protocol which is an aggregation of the component protocols. This, in effect, creates a new APE by the merger of pre-existing APEs. It may be necessary to resolve conflicts in capability IDs and GCC Registry Resource IDs between the application protocols for the new APE. + +An alternative approach is to retain the pre-existing APEs as distinct components, each with a new application protocol key to distinguish it from the protocol from which it was derived. Observe, however, that in this case it is necessary to define a means to associate application protocol sessions which are cooperating to achieve a common purpose so that user applications can determine the correct combination of sessions for their APEs to enroll in. To avoid duplication of information, it is suggested that the list of associated sessions is maintained in the Application Registry for one of the sessions, to be termed the *root session*. It is up to the application protocol developer to determine which application protocol should serve as the root session; a suitable choice would be the application protocol whose functionality most closely matches the intended common purpose. + +# ITU-T RECOMMENDATIONS SERIES + +| | |

**Summary** + +This Recommendation defines a multipoint data delivery service for use in the audiographics and audiovisual conferencing service. It provides the mechanism for multipoint aware applications to send data to all or a subset of the group with a single send primitive and to force, if desired, a uniformly sequenced reception of data at all users. It also provides a token mechanism to allow applications to control scarce resources or do multi-application signalling and synchronization. These services are provided in a manner that is independent of the underlying network connections. + +The following changes have been incorporated into this Recommendation: + +- Support for unreliable data transfer was added. +- Under certain conditions, MCS protocol version is allowed to differ between providers within a domain. +- The MCS-DOMAIN-PARAMETERS service primitive was added. +- Parameters were added to MCS-SEND-DATA and MCS-UNIFORM-SEND-DATA service primitives to facilitate data reassembly by the user application. +- Minor changes have been made to the Recommendation format. + +## **Source** + +ITU-T Recommendation T.122 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 16 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 6th of February 1998. + +## FOREWORD + +ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. + +The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. + +The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. + +In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. + +## NOTE + +In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. + +## INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS + +The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. + +As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. + +© ITU 1998 + +All rights reserved.

**MULTIPOINT COMMUNICATION SERVICE – SERVICE DEFINITION** + +*(revised in 1998)* + +## **1 Scope** + +The Multipoint Communication Service (MCS) is a generic service designed to support highly interactive multimedia conferencing applications. It supports full-duplex multipoint communication among an arbitrary number of connected application entities over a variety of networks as specified in Recommendation T.123. This version of MCS utilizes only the basic mode of Recommendation T.123. MCS provides efficient multicast message sequencing and token management features by means of an MCS provider, to which users are connected either directly or through other MCS providers. + +MCS offers the following features: + +- a) Flexible modes of data transfer: + - Broadcast, with flow control; + - Request/Response. +- b) Multipoint addressing: + - One to all; + - One to sub-group; + - One to one. +- c) Multipoint routing of data: + - Shortest path to each receiver; + - Uniform sequencing of data, where all users receive the same data in the same sequence. +- d) Tokens are provided for resource contention resolution. +- e) Network independent: + - For fully reliable data transmission, MCS assumes the use of error-free transport connections that provide flow control (see Recommendation T.123). + +MCS provides information to conference participants about other participants only in cases where this information cannot be provided by the participants themselves. For example, members of a domain are not informed when a new member joins (the new member can do so if it wishes), whereas they are informed by MCS when a member detaches, since the departing member may have no opportunity to inform the others. + +## **2 References** + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; all users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is regularly published. + +- ITU-T Recommendation F.710 (1991), *General principles for audiographic conference service*. +- ITU-T Recommendation T.123 (1996), *Network specific data protocol stacks for multimedia conferencing*. + +## 3 Definitions + +This Recommendation defines the following terms: + +**3.1 MCS provider:** An entity (i.e. active element) of an MCS subsystem, interacting directly with application entities above and transport entities below. The services it provides and the services it uses are modelled in terms of abstract primitives. An MCS provider communicates with peer MCS providers. + +**3.2 MCS domain:** A tree of MCS connections among MCS providers or, in the degenerate case, part of a single MCS provider. The MCS providers involved are said to *host* the domain. A domain sets the boundary for data transfer among attached MCS users. + +**3.3 MCS domain selector:** An octet string that distinguishes multiple domains hosted by the same MCS provider. The creation of MCS providers, their configuration to host one or more domains, and the internal structure of domain selectors are all local matters. + +**3.4 top MCS provider:** In every domain a single MCS provider will become the Top MCS Provider and will be the exclusive manager of all the domain's channel, user Ids and token resources. + +**3.5 MCS connection:** A specified set of transport connections, managed as one unit, between a pair of MCS providers. Each end of an MCS Connection is bound to a respective MCS domain selector. One end of each MCS Connection is designated to be hierarchically superior to the other. + +**3.6 MCS user:** An application entity obtaining services from an MCS provider. Once they have been attached to the same domain, MCS users can transfer data in point-to-point or multicast fashion. + +**3.7 MCS Service Access Point (MCSAP):** A point through which an MCS user accesses an MCS provider. + +**3.8 MCS attachment:** A multi-connection end point within an MCSAP. Each MCS attachment is bound to an MCS domain selector. An MCS user may attach through an MCSAP to domains hosted by the MCS provider. + +**3.9 MCS user Id:** A short identifier, unique within an MCS domain, that distinguishes between MCS attachments. A user with multiple attachments to the same domain, through the same or different SAPs, has equally many user Ids. + +**3.10 control-MCSAP:** A unique MCSAP per MCS provider (distinguished by some local means) to which the MCS Connect and MCS Disconnect primitives are restricted. The MCS user of a Control-MCSAP does not have direct access to data transfer through the MCS Connection end points it contains; this is limited to the MCS provider. It is a local option whether a Control-MCSAP may also contain MCS attachments like ordinary MCSAPs and allow the MCS user to invoke other MCS primitives. + +**3.11 MCS channel:** A channel is a domain-wide address. Channels are used for MCS data unit distribution lists. All users who are members of the same channel will receive data sent to that channel. + +**3.12 MCS private channel:** A channel with an authorized group of users. Only they may send and receive data over the channel. Attempts by unauthorized users to invoke an MCS primitive involving a private channel as parameter will fail. + +**3.13 MCS private channel manager:** An MCS user who convenes a private channel and regulates its authorized user group. If the manager detaches, the private channel is disbanded. + +**3.14 version 3 or V3 summit:** The nodes in a domain hierarchy which use MCS protocol version 3 or greater and are either: + +- a Top Provider; or +- have an upward connection path to a version 3 Top Provider that flows only through other version 3 nodes. + +## **4 Abbreviations** + +This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: + +MCS Multipoint Communication Service + +MCSAP MCS Service Access Point + +MCSPDU MCS Protocol Data Unit + +MCU Multipoint Control Unit (see Recommendation F.710) + +SAP Service Access Point + +## **5 Conventions** + +### **5.1 Primitive parameters conventions** + +The primitive parameters defined in this Recommendation will use the following key: + +M Parameter is mandatory + +C Parameter is conditional + +U Parameter is a user option + +Blank Parameter is absent + +(=) Value of the parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding parameter of the preceding primitive. + +### **5.2 Primitive notations** + +The primitive services referred to in the text will be in italics. + +## **6 Model of MCS** + +MCS establishes a multipoint domain over point-to-point MCS connections. Within that multipoint domain, an application client can send data to different members of the domain and have access to tokens for resource contention resolution. + +![Diagram of the MCS model showing a hierarchical structure within an MCU.

This connection is bound to a domain to which users can attach. Users at other sites can set up MCS connections to sites already part of the domain and bind them to the same domain. + +NOTE – If all communication is to be among applications at one site, connections are not necessary, since only one MCS provider is involved. + +Once the domain is established, the MCS user then joins the appropriate channels it requires for receiving data. The use of these channels is application dependent. Tokens are provided for managing the resources available to the client. + +## 7 MCS connections and building the domain + +For multipoint communication between remote sites to occur, their MCS providers must first be connected and bound to the same domain. A multipoint domain is a hierarchical structure composed of MCS connections that connect MCS providers together. A domain is constructed by binding connections to it. + +### 7.1 Establishing connections and binding them to the domain + +A Controller sets up an MCS connection through its local MCS provider to a remote site using the *connect provider* service. An MCS connection is a set of transport connections managed as one unit between two MCS providers.

An MCS provider can have multiple MCS connections. + +![Diagram of the MCS connection phase showing two sites connected via a network. Each site contains an MCS provider and a Controller.

The network is hierarchical, with MCS providers at different levels. Some providers are connected to MCUs, some to controllers, and some to application clients. The connections are shown as solid lines between the providers. + +NOTE – Some MCS providers have multiple MCS connections and some have multiple attached users. Some MCS providers reside on MCUs, while others reside on terminals. + +**Figure 3/T.122 – Five-site network with multiple MCS connections** + +The optional user data field of the *connect provider* messages can be used to exchange security information, for example passwords or any other data required by the multipoint application. The *connect provider* request is initiated at one site and approved or rejected by another site. *Connect provider* indications are locally directed to the Control-SAP of the destination provider. + +A multipoint domain is organized in a hierarchical structure. The MCS provider at the top of the hierarchy is the Top MCS provider. It is during the domain setup stage that the network hierarchy is defined. Within the *connect provider* request is a field defining whether this connection to be attached is going up to a higher level, or down to a lower one. + +NOTE – The domain hierarchical structure is necessary for the allocation of user Ids, for the use of tokens, and for uniformly sequenced data. + +The *disconnect provider* service is used to leave a domain and to disconnect transport connections. + +### 7.2 Attaching application users to a domain + +Application clients become attached to a domain using the *attach user* service. It differs from connecting providers in that it does not require the up/down field for defining domain hierarchy. A SAP is attached to no more than one provider, and is used by no more than one application client at any given time. + +An application client automatically receives from MCS in the *attach-user* confirm its own unique user identifier for the domain duration. There is some structural limit to the number of application clients in a domain or channel. + +![Diagram illustrating multiple domains and their connections to application clients.](a33da0f14e456f92539ce3e9b7d81f9a_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the architecture of multiple domains and their connections to application clients. It is divided into three main sections, each enclosed in a dashed box: + +- Top Left:** A dashed box containing an 'MCU controller' connected to an 'MCS provider'. The 'MCS provider' contains two domains: 'Domain B' and 'Domain A'. +- Top Right:** A dashed box containing an 'MCS provider' with 'Domain A' inside. It is connected to a 'Controller' and an 'Application client'. +- Bottom Left:** A dashed box containing an 'MCS provider' with 'Domain B' and 'Domain A' inside. It is connected to three 'Application client' boxes and a 'Controller' box. +- Bottom Right:** A dashed box containing an 'MCS provider' with 'Domain A' inside. It is connected to a 'Controller' and two 'Application client' boxes. + +Connections between the sections are as follows: + +- A line connects 'Domain A' in the Top Left MCS provider to 'Domain A' in the Top Right MCS provider. +- A line connects 'Domain B' in the Top Left MCS provider to 'Domain B' in the Bottom Left MCS provider. +- A line connects 'Domain A' in the Top Left MCS provider to 'Domain A' in the Bottom Left MCS provider. +- A line connects 'Domain A' in the Bottom Left MCS provider to 'Domain A' in the Bottom Right MCS provider. + +T0818750-94 + +Diagram illustrating multiple domains and their connections to application clients. + +NOTE – Application clients can be attached through multiple SAPs to more than one domain. + +**Figure 4/T.122 – Multiple domains** + +The *detach user* primitive is used by an application client to leave a domain. + +### 7.3 MCS-DOMAIN-PARAMETERS + +With the exception of protocol version, domain parameters are identical throughout a domain. They are negotiated in the first *connect provider* primitive which sets up the domain. MCS providers joining a domain after the initial two have no say in determining domain parameters. An application client can determine domain parameters by examining the response of a *connect provider* primitive. The domain parameters are defined as follows: + +- Maximum number of MCS channels that may be in use simultaneously* – This includes channels that are joined by any user, user Ids that have been assigned, and private channels that have been created. +- Maximum number of user Ids that may be assigned simultaneously* – This is a sublimit within the constraint of the previous parameter. +- Maximum number of token Ids that may be grabbed or inhibited simultaneously.* + +- d) *Number of data transfer priorities implemented* – An MCS user may still send and receive data with priorities outside the limit. However, such priorities may be treated the same as the lowest priority that is implemented. +- e) *Enforced throughput* – This parameter instructs MCS providers to enforce a minimum receiving rate at each MCS attachment and over each downward MCS connection. Violators run the risk of being involuntarily detached or disconnected, respectively. +- f) *Maximum height* – This constrains the height of all MCS providers, in particular the Top MCS Provider. +- g) *Maximum size of domain MCSPDUs* – Global flow control is based on buffering within an MCS provider. For simplicity, fixed-size buffers are assumed. An MCS provider shall not generate larger MCSPDUs. This constrains the number of parameters that can be packed into a single control operation and suggests where unlimited user data should be segmented. +- h) *Protocol version* – This is defined in the MCS protocol specification. + +## 8 MCS channels + +Once the domain setup and user attachment is completed, the last step to be performed before data can be exchanged between all the sites in a multipoint fashion is to join the right combination of interaction channels. + +Channels in MCS are domain-wide addresses. When a multipoint domain is established, distribution lists can be declared in the form of multicast channels. Every user of a domain can join a channel to receive MCS data units sent to it, and by joining an appropriate combination of channels, a user can choose to receive messages sent to these channels and ignore messages sent to other channels. Application clients subscribe to and leave the desired channels with the *channel join* and *leave* services. + +A mechanism for Quality of Service negotiation on a per channel basis is left for further study. + +### 8.1 Multicast channels + +Multicast channels are multi-member channels, i.e. channels that can be used to send data to all or a subset of clients of a domain. A multicast channel may represent all active participants in a conference, while another may specify members of a sub-conference. By joining an appropriate combination of channels, a client can elect to receive messages sent to these channels and ignore messages sent to the other channels. For example, all users of a multipoint application may decide to use channel 5 when they wish to receive broadcast data from every member of the domain. Thus every domain member will join channel 5 and send data on this channel when it is to be received by everyone. Another channel may be joined by a subset of domain clients, who will then be able to exchange data on that channel transparent to the rest of domain members. + +NOTE – An application client does not have to be joined to a channel in order to send to it, but must be part of it in order to receive data sent to it. + +Channel membership is maintained in a distributed fashion, with partial membership information recorded at each level of the hierarchy in a multiple provider domain. + +### 8.2 Single-member channels + +Single-member channels are normally used as user identifiers (user Ids) which provide user identification and serve as addresses for point-to-point communication within the multipoint domain. Having such a user Id allows other users to be notified when the user detaches. In order for one + +member of a domain to send to another transparent to other sites participating in the same domain, he can send data on channel set to the destination user's Id. + +### 8.3 Private channels + +Both send and receive access to individual multicast channels can be controlled by a private channel mechanism. Any user may convene a private channel with *channel convene* which results in him becoming the private channel manager of an available empty multicast channel. The private channel manager can invite users to join the channel using the *channel admit* service or force a user to leave with the *channel expel* service. Users join and leave private channels using the regular *channel join* and *channel leave* services. The private channel manager discontinues a private channel with the *channel disband* service. + +### 8.4 Channel Id numbering + +Channel Ids are classified into four types: + +- *Static channel Id* – Permanently available, can be joined at will. +- *User Id* – Can be joined only by the MCS attachment that is assigned the MCS user Id. +- *Private channel Id* – Can be joined only by the private channel manager and other authorized user Ids that it explicitly admits. +- *Assigned channel Id* – Created as the result of a *channel join* request for channel Id zero, can be joined at will thereafter, until all joined users leave, at which point it is deleted. + +Static channel Ids are numbered 1..1000. All numbers in the static range represent valid channels. Dynamic channel Ids (user Ids, private channel Ids, and assigned channel Ids) are numbered 1001..65535. At any given time, most numbers in the dynamic range will represent non-existent channels (because they were never created or already deleted). + +The number of channel Ids in use at once is limited by an MCS domain parameter. Static channel Ids are in use when they are joined by some user. Dynamic channel Ids are in use if they have been created and not yet deleted. MCS primitives (*channel join*, *attach user*, *channel convene*) will fail if they threaten to exceed the limit on number of channel Ids in use. + +## 9 MCS data transfer + +Once the participating providers have connected and bound to the common domain and users have attached to the common domain and joined the right combination of channels, users are ready to exchange data in a multipoint fashion. + +The *send data* and *uniformly sequenced send data* services provide the actual transfer of data. Each send data unit can be delivered (multicast) to multiple sites. Uniform data sequencing, or delivery at each site of identical sequences of data units, is provided with the *uniformly sequenced send data* service. + +### 9.1 Simple Send + +The *send data* service provides the "one-to-many" communication, which includes point-to-point as a particular case. Sending to a channel set to a remote user Id will provide the actual point-to-point message transmission. Since any sender can send a service data unit to any channel, the many-to-one and many-to-many operations are also supported. Simple send service data units from different senders may arrive in a different sequence at each site, since they are delivered using the most direct route, up and down the tree of MCS providers. Some sequencing occurs even without using the + +*uniformly sequenced send data*: The sequencing of service data units sent from one sender on one channel at one priority is maintained identically at all receivers. The sender of a simple send request will NOT receive a send indication if it is a member of the destination channel. + +MCS service data units are allowed an unlimited size, however, MCS interface data units within a given system may have a maximum size. It is not desirable to split and reassemble long messages transparently within MCS for two reasons. First, the information may be of near real-time nature and may have to be acted upon immediately. Second, since data units from multiple sources are interleaved at different levels in the network, it would not be possible to reconstruct a message from one source without blocking data units from all the other sources. In the application, however, it is possible to analyse incoming data units to process data units that contain real-time information (such as annotations or pen movements) immediately, while reconstructing a long message received from one source (such as an image or a file). + +![Diagram illustrating the process of sending data to all members of a multicast channel.

Each of these three 'MCS' nodes has a solid arrow pointing right, labeled 'Send data indication'. + +**Figure 5/T.122 – Send data to all the members of a multicast channel** + +MCS provides sequenced messaging to multiple destinations, as specified by the membership of the destination channel. To adapt the sending rate to the receiving rate, MCS must combine flow control on the individual connections into a global domain-wide flow control. The throughput of a domain may be limited by its slowest receiver. + +### 9.2 Uniformly sequenced data transfer + +Uniform sequencing is necessary when data is being sent simultaneously from several sites, but must be received in the same sequence by all receivers. The *uniformly sequenced send data* offers this service. All the *uniformly sequenced send data* requests are routed to the Top MCS provider and from there dispatched in the same order to all the receiving sites, including the sender if it is a member of the destination channel. + +### 9.3 Send data with responses (For further study) + +This is a simple form of "many-to-one" communication that occurs as an atomic response to a send. When requested by the sender, each receiver must generate a short response. Responses from all receivers are gathered at each level and travel back along the distribution path of the original message. The aggregate response is then delivered to the sender. This form of response can be used either for feedback on delivery of data or as atomic feedback to a simple query. If a more detailed response is needed, any receiver can send a message to the originator, using the source user Id of the received message. + +![Diagram showing a multicast Send operation.

However, there are classes of applications where the occasional loss of data is acceptable and even preferable to the performance loss incurred by recovering lost data with a guaranteed delivery scheme. These applications may choose to use unreliable (i.e. non-guaranteed delivery) data transfer. In this case, received data will be delivered by MCS in the order it was originally sent, but gaps may occur in the application's data stream. + +## 10 Token management + +Tokens provide a means to implement exclusive access. For example, to ensure in a multipoint application using resources that one and only one site holds a given resource at a given time, a token can be associated with every resource. When a site wishes to use a specific resource, it must ask for its corresponding token, which will be granted only if no one else is holding it. + +![Diagram showing token contention resolution.

The user defines the significance of this token to his application. Other users may use the *token test* service to determine the status of a token at any time and may request the token from the holder with the *token please* service. The token holder may transfer control of a token to another specified user with the *token give* service or return a token to a generally available status with the *token release* service. + +### 10.2 Event coordination + +A single token may be used to coordinate a multiple user event by using the *token inhibit* service. Users can independently inhibit and release the same token. For example, if it was desired to know when all users have completed reception and processing of a bulk file transfer, all receiving users would inhibit the same token and each individual user would release the token when it had completed the proscribed process. Any user could test the token at will to determine if the token is free which means all users have completed processing. + +### 10.3 Token Id Numbering + +Token Ids are numbered 1..65535. All numbers in the range are valid token Ids. The number of token Ids in use at once is limited by an MCS domain parameter. Token Ids are in use when they are grabbed or inhibited by some user. MCS primitives (*token grab*, *token inhibit*) will fail if they threaten to exceed the limit on number of token Ids in use. + +## 11 Introduction to MCS service primitives + +The MCS offers the following service primitives to the application client: + +### 11.1 MCS domain management primitives + +- MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request, indication, response, confirm +- MCS-DISCONNECT-PROVIDER request, indication +- MCS-ATTACH-USER request, confirm +- MCS-DETACH-USER request, indication +- MCS-DOMAIN-PARAMETERS request, indication, confirm + +### 11.2 MCS Channel Management primitives + +- MCS-CHANNEL-JOIN request, confirm +- MCS-CHANNEL-LEAVE request, indication +- MCS-CHANNEL-CONVENE request, confirm +- MCS-CHANNEL-DISBAND request, indication +- MCS-CHANNEL-ADMIT request, indication +- MCS-CHANNEL-EXPEL request, indication + +### 11.3 MCS data transfer primitives + +- MCS-SEND-DATA request, indication +- MCS-UNIFORM-SEND-DATA request, indication + +### 11.4 MCS token management primitives + +- MCS-TOKEN-GRAB request, confirm +- MCS-TOKEN-INHIBIT request, confirm +- MCS-TOKEN-GIVE request, indication, response, confirm +- MCS-TOKEN-PLEASE request, indication +- MCS-TOKEN-RELEASE request, confirm +- MCS-TOKEN-TEST request, confirm + +## 12 MCS domain management primitives + +### 12.1 MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER + +#### 12.1.1 Function + +This primitive establishes an MCS connection through the Control-MCSAP of an MCS provider. It is a local matter how a specific MCS connection end point is identified within the Control-MCSAP. This primitive is confirmed and depends on a response by the MCS user at the Control-MCSAP of the called MCS provider. + +The remote site usually passes the indication through a Control-SAP to an application controller. If no control application has attached to the Control-SAP at the remote MCS provider, it is a site configuration decision whether or not all incoming connection requests are to be accepted or rejected. + +At the establishment of an MCS connection, two domains that were previously separate are joined into one. Conflicts will arise if the same MCS user Ids are assigned in both. This is resolved by delivering MCS-DETACH-USER indications to selected MCS attachments in the subordinate domain before concluding the MCS Connection. Channel and token Id conflicts are resolved by delivering MCS-CHANNEL-LEAVE and MCS-CHANNEL-DISBAND indications and MCS-DETACH-USER indications to selected MCS attachments in the subordinate domain before concluding the MCS connection. + +#### 12.1.2 Types of primitives and their parameters + +Table 1/T.122 – MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER + +| Primitive/

If fewer than four priorities are implemented in an MCS domain, lower priority data is transferred at the lowest priority implemented. However, the priority value specified in a data request is indicated unchanged to subsequent receivers. As well, the protocol version, the minimum throughput enforced, the maximum height of all MCS providers, and the maximum size of domain MCSPDUs are all specified as domain parameters. +These domain parameters are negotiated between the first two MCS providers that connect to a domain.

MCS users attached to the Top MCS Provider portion will receive MCS-DETACH-USER indications for those in the opposite portion.

ITU-T List of Recommendations.* + +## ITU-T RECOMMENDATION T.125 + +# MULTIPOINT COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION + +# Summary + +This Recommendation defines a protocol operating through the hierarchy of a multipoint communication domain. It specifies the format of protocol messages and procedures governing their exchange over a set of transport connections. The purpose of the protocol is to implement the Multipoint Communication Service defined by Recommendation T.122. + +Annex A defines a protocol allowing the use of multicast network services in a T.120 conference. It does this by performing data routing as part of T.125. Once it assumes responsibility for routing, it will use multicast whenever possible. This Annex handles sub-optimal networks by testing multicast pathways before depending on them. In the event that multicast does not work at some point within the conference, unicast is used in its place. This Annex is independent of the networks on which it is used. All issues that are specific to a given network are handled by the protocol stacks that lie beneath this protocol. + +The following changes have been incorporated into this version of the Recommendation: + +- the MAP protocol has been incorporated as Annex A; +- MCS Protocol version 3 is specified; +- *Extended-Parameter* MCSPDUs have been added; +- *Capabilities-Notification* MCSPDUs have been added; +- fields were added to the Send-Data and Uniform-Send-Data MCSPDUs to support changes to Recommendation T.122; +- minor changes have been made to the document format. + +## Source + +ITU-T Recommendation T.125 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 16 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 6th of February 1998. + +# FOREWORD + +ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. + +The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. + +The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITU-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1. + +In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. + +## NOTE + +In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. + +## INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS + +The ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. The ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. + +As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, the ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. + +© ITU 1998 + +All rights reserved.

These primitives can be the cause or result of MCSPDU exchanges between peer MCS providers using an MCS connection, or they can be the + +cause or result of actions taken within a single MCS provider. MCSPDU exchanges occur between MCS providers that host the same MCS domain. + +An MCS provider can have multiple peers, each reached directly by a different MCS connection or indirectly through a peer MCS provider. An MCS connection is composed of either one MAP connection or one or more transport connections. MAP based connections will operate as described in Annex A. For transport based connections, the number of connections will depend on the number of data transfer priorities implemented in an MCS domain. Protocol exchanges are effected using the services of the transport layer through a pair of TSAPs. + +This model of the MCS layer is illustrated in Figure 5-1. + +![Figure 5-1/T.125 – Model of the MCS layer](7efae06af3af43ffe5d4b956a679cf54_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph TD + subgraph Top_Layer + MCSAP1((MCSAP)) + MCSAP2((MCSAP)) + MCSAP3((MCSAP)) + MCSAP4((MCSAP)) + MCSAP1 -.- MCSAP2 -.- MCSAP3 -.- MCSAP4 + end + + subgraph Provider_Layer + P1[MCS Provider] + P2[MCS Provider] + P3[MCS Provider] + end + + subgraph Bottom_Layer + MAPSAP1((MAPSAP)) + TSAP1((TSAP)) + TSAP2((TSAP)) + TSAP3((TSAP)) + TSAP4((TSAP)) + MAPSAP2((MAPSAP)) + MAPSAP1 -.- TSAP1 -.- TSAP2 -.- TSAP3 -.- TSAP4 -.- MAPSAP2 + end + + MCSAP1 --- P1 + MCSAP2 --- P1 + MCSAP3 --- P2 + MCSAP4 --- P3 + + P1 --- MAPSAP1 + P1 --- TSAP1 + P2 --- TSAP2 + P3 --- TSAP3 + P3 --- TSAP4 + P3 --- MAPSAP2 + + TSAP1 === BUS + TSAP2 === BUS + TSAP3 === BUS + TSAP4 === BUS + +``` + +Detailed description: The diagram shows three MCS Providers. The first provider on the left is connected to two MCSAPs above it and a MAPSAP and a TSAP below it. The middle provider is connected to one MCSAP above and one TSAP below. The third provider on the right is connected to one MCSAP above and two TSAPs and one MAPSAP below. All TSAPs are interconnected via a set of parallel lines representing transport connections at the bottom. Dashed horizontal lines connect the MCSAPs at the top and the SAPs at the bottom, indicating a logical layer boundary. + +Figure 5-1/T.125 – Model of the MCS layer + +T1602400-97 + +**Figure 5-1/T.125 – Model of the MCS layer** + +## 5.2 Services provided by the MCS layer + +The MCS protocol supports the services defined in Recommendation T.122. Information is transferred to and from an MCS user using the MCS primitives listed in Table 5-1. + +### 5.2.1 MAP layer services + +When using MAP connections, MCS will function as described in Annex A. + +## 5.3 Services assumed from the transport layer + +For transport connections, the MCS protocol assumes the use of a subset of the connection-oriented transport service defined in Recommendation X.214. Information is transferred to and from a TS provider by the primitives listed in Table 5-2. + +## 5.4 Functions of the MCS layer + +Table 5-1 identifies the functional units of MCS and the MCSPDUs associated with each MCS primitive. MCSPDUs are defined in clause 7. The relationship between primitives and MCSPDUs can be as simple as cause and effect, in either direction. For example, MCS-ATTACH-USER request generates **AttachUserRequest**, and **AttachUserConfirm** generates MCS-ATTACH-USER confirm. Other cases may be more complicated. The completion of MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER, for example, requires the exchange of additional MCSPDUs as side effects of the four-phase primitive. + +And any one of five MCSPDUs can cause an MCS-DETACH-USER indication, any of four an MCS-CHANNEL-EXPEL indication. + +### 5.4.1 Domain management + +The MCS layer maintains the integrity of the MCS connections comprising an MCS domain. An MCS connection is oriented, with one end hierarchically superior to the other. There is a single MCS provider at the top of each domain. + +Establishing an MCS connection merges two domains into one. The MCS layer ensures that one top provider remains. It resolves any conflicts of unique identity or exclusive ownership that may arise. + +Disconnecting an MCS connection splits a domain into two portions. The portion containing the top provider survives. The bottom portion eradicates itself. + +The MCS layer uniquely identifies users attached to a domain. Users may become aware of each other through their interactions via MCS primitives. The MCS layer notifies all users of a domain when one of them detaches. The MCS layer recovers any resources of a detached user. + +**Table 5-1/T.125 – MCS primitives** + +| Functional unit | Primitives | Associated MCSPDUs | +|------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Domain Management | MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request

On request, it can create private channels to which only admitted users are allowed access or assign public channels to which no other users are currently joined. + +### 5.4.3 Data transfer + +The MCS layer maintains a sequenced flow of data to the users who have joined a channel. A channel becomes, in effect, a multicast distribution list, with a range somewhere between zero destinations and a complete broadcast. + +By default, the MCS layer routes data to each receiver over the shortest path of MCS connections. Optionally, it routes specified MCS service data units through the top MCS provider, thereby guaranteeing their uniform receipt at all receivers, which may include the transmitter too. + +The MCS layer recognizes one or more priorities of data transfer and extends them preferential processing. For fully-reliable data, the MCS layer allows MCS service data units of unlimited size through segmentation. However, for unreliable data, the size of MCS service data units may not exceed the maximum MCSPDU size minus PDU header overhead as determined by the domain parameters. + +The MCS layer regulates the global flow of data within a domain. The inability of a receiver to accept data at the rate it is offered eventually creates back-pressure that causes transmitters to be blocked. A user may be detached involuntarily if it fails to maintain a minimum receiving rate. + +The MCS layer provides both fully-reliable (i.e. guaranteed delivery) and unreliable (i.e. non-guaranteed delivery) data transfer. For fully-reliable data transfer, the MCS layer guarantees error-free receipt of transmitted data, as long as the source and destination users remain attached and + +the destination user remains joined to the channel. For unreliable data transfers, MCS provides ordered receipt of transmitted data, although gaps in the data stream may occur. Also, for both fully-reliable and unreliable data transfers, higher priority data takes precedence, and a surfeit of it may indefinitely delay the delivery of lower priority data. + +### 5.4.4 Token management + +The MCS layer implements token operations at the top MCS provider, thereby ensuring consistency and exclusion. + +### 5.4.5 Capabilities notification + +The MCS layer provides a mechanism for the exchange of information regarding capabilities. Via this mechanism, nodes are able to determine the state of the domain with respect to a certain capability. This allows a node to make the decision whether to exercise that capability. + +## 5.5 Hierarchical processing + +Hierarchical processing in an MCS domain is illustrated in Figure 5-2. + +The nodes in the figure represent MCS providers, and the labelled arrows represent MCSPDUs. This example focuses on a period of time after the domain has been established through connections between MCS providers and the use of data transfer is beginning to expand. At step 1 provider D requests on behalf of a user to join a channel over which data will be distributed, and at step 2 the request is confirmed as successful. At step 3 a user attached to provider A sends data, and the corresponding **SendDataRequest** begins to flow upward. Assuming that only attachments at providers A, C, and D are joined to the channel over which the data is being sent, the request MCSPDU is reflected downward at steps 6 and 7 as **SendDataIndication**. Provider E, aware that no other subordinate needs to receive the data, simply forwards **SendDataRequest** upward at step 4. Provider F forwards **SendDataRequest** upward at step 5 but also reflects it downward at step 6, knowing that provider C has expressed interest in the channel. + +MCS providers are not especially concerned with their height in the hierarchy, except for their role in maintaining an overall limit on the height of the domain and in the broad sense that they are either the top provider or they are not. The top MCS provider has no upward connection. All others have exactly one. + +An MCS provider records information about channels and tokens used in its subtree of an MCS domain. + +![Diagram illustrating hierarchical processing in an MCS domain.

It records user ids that are assigned in the subtree and where they originate. It records private channels that have either a manager or an admitted user in the subtree, and it records the associated user ids. + +An MCS provider records tokens that are grabbed or inhibited by users within the subtree, and it records the associated user ids. + +An MCS provider inspects requests arising from its subtree to verify that the initiating user id is legitimately assigned to the originating attachment or downward MCS connection. This creates rings of protection around the top MCS provider and limits how much disruption a malicious participant can cause in an otherwise cooperative domain. + +In general terms, to which there are several exceptions, the operation of the MCS layer can be described as follows: + +- a) An MCS primitive request invoked at an MCS attachment generates an MCSPDU at the corresponding MCS provider and dispatches it upward towards the top MCS provider. There, where full information about the MCS domain is held, the MCSPDU is acted on. +- b) A confirm MCSPDU may be generated at the top MCS provider to return results to the requesting attachment. MCS providers that pass it along update their records according to the impact of the operation on their subtree. A confirm is routed to the initiating user id by consulting local records at each successive downward hop. +- c) An indication MCSPDU may be generated instead to inform other attachments about the action taken. Indications may be replicated and sent downward on several connections that lead to affected users. MCS providers may also update their records with the impact of an operation as part of processing an indication. + +The preceding description is an overview intended to create a conceptual framework. Full details are specified in later clauses concerning the information recorded in an MCS provider and how specific MCSPDUs are processed. + +Among exceptions are the following: Some requests, notably **ChannelJoinRequest** and **ChannelLeaveRequest**, may stop rising at a level short of the top provider, and some indications, notably **SendDataIndication**, may be generated at a level below the top provider. One MCSPDU, **TokenGiveResponse**, belongs to the response category. And some MCSPDUs may be generated by an MCS provider as a continuation of processing unlike MCSPDUs, such as **ChannelLeaveRequest** following **DetachUserIndication**. + +## 5.6 Domain parameters + +The MCS providers hosting a single MCS domain allocate resources and execute procedures according to the following parameters. The values of these parameters are identical throughout a domain with the exception of Protocol Version. + +- a) Maximum number of MCS channels that may be in use simultaneously. This includes channels that are joined by any user, user ids that have been assigned, and private channels that have been created. +- b) Maximum number of user ids that may be assigned simultaneously. This is a sublimit within the constraint of the preceding parameter. +- c) Maximum number of token ids that may be grabbed or inhibited simultaneously. +- d) Number of data transfer priorities implemented. This equals the number of TCs in an MCS connection. An MCS user may still send and receive data with priorities outside the limit. However, such priorities may be treated the same as the lowest priority that is implemented. +- e) Enforced throughput. Although global flow control limits data transfer within a domain to the rate of the slowest receiver, receivers must not be allowed to run arbitrarily slowly. Otherwise, one party in a conference may obstruct all others. This parameter instructs MCS providers to enforce a minimum receiving rate at each MCS attachment and over each downward MCS connection. Violators run the risk of being involuntarily detached or disconnected, respectively. +- f) Maximum height. This constrains the height of all MCS providers, in particular the top provider. +- g) Maximum size of domain MCSPDUs. Global flow control is based on buffering domain MCSPDUs within an MCS provider (but not connect MCSPDUs). For simplicity, fixed-size buffers are assumed. An MCS provider shall not generate larger MCSPDUs. This constrains the amount of information that can be packed into a single control MCSPDU and suggests where unlimited user data should be segmented in data MCSPDUs. +- h) Protocol version. This takes one of three values defining different encodings for domain MCSPDUs. In version three of the MCS Protocol this value is on a per connection basis. This allows version two MCS providers to exist downstream in a version three enabled conference. + +NOTE – A given instance of an MCS provider may operate with local resource constraints that are also parameterized. These may include the amount of memory available for buffering MCSPDUs awaiting transport, the maximum number of MCS attachments, and the maximum number of MCS connections to other providers. Such parameters are local matters and are not communicated across an MCS domain. + +## 5.7 Extended parameters + +The MCS providers who are members of the V3 summit of a single MCS domain will allocate resources and execute procedures according to the following parameters. + +- a) Unreliable data is supported. If unreliable data is supported in the V3 summit, this Boolean value will be True. The value of this parameter is identical throughout the V3 summit of a domain. +- b) Domain Reference Identifier. This is not a negotiated value, but will be generated by an MCS provider to uniquely identify a specific domain. Although the same value may be used to identify different domains for different providers, it must uniquely represent one specific domain to the provider that generated the value. + +# 6 Use of the transport service + +## 6.1 Model of the transport service + +This description paraphrases relevant parts of Recommendation X.214 assuming that no use is made of expedited data. + +The transport service offers these features to a TS user: + +- a) Means to establish a TC with another TS user for the purpose of exchanging TSDUs. More than one TC may exist between the same pair of TS users. +- b) Associated with each TC at its time of establishment, the opportunity to request, negotiate, and have agreed by the TS provider a certain Quality of Service as specified by parameters representing characteristics such as throughput, transit delay, residual error rate, and priority. +- c) Means of transferring TSDUs on a TC. The transfer of TSDUs, which consist of an integral number of octets, is transparent, in that the boundaries of TSDUs and the contents of TSDUs are preserved unchanged by the TS provider. +- d) Means by which a receiving TS user may control the rate at which the sending TS user may send data. +- e) The unconditional and therefore possibly destructive release of a TC. + +The operation of a TC is modelled in an abstract way by a pair of queues linking two TSAPs. There is one queue for each direction of information flow. Each TC is modelled by a separate pair of queues. + +The queue model is used to express the flow control feature. A queue has a limited capacity, but this capacity is not necessarily either fixed or determinable. Connect, TSDU, and disconnect objects are entered and removed from a queue as the result of interactions at the two TSAPs. The ability of a TS user to add objects to a queue is determined by the behavior of the TS user removing objects from that queue and the state of the queue. The only objects that can be placed in a queue by the TS provider are disconnect objects. Objects are added to a queue subject to control by the TS provider. Objects are normally removed from the queue subject to control by the receiving TS user. Objects are normally removed in the same order that they were added. The only exception to normal removal is that an object may be deleted by the TS provider if, and only if, the following one is a disconnect object. + +A TC endpoint identification mechanism must be provided locally if the TS user and the TS provider need to distinguish between several TCs at a TSAP. All primitives must then make use of this identification mechanism to identify the TC to which they apply. This implicit identification is not + +shown as a parameter of the TS primitives and must not be confused with the address parameters of T-CONNECT. + +## 6.2 Use of multiple connections + +An MCS connection consists of one or more TCs between the same pair of MCS providers. The first TC established is called the initial TC; those established subsequently are called additional TCs. All the TCs that belong to one MCS connection are established by the same MCS provider, in reaction to an MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request. This request contains address parameters that are the calling and called TSAP addresses. These are used unmodified in the T-CONNECT requests that result. + +The number of TCs per MCS connection is uniform throughout an MCS domain. This domain parameter equals the number of data transfer priority levels implemented. Separate TCs are required because each is a vehicle for flow control. Blockages in lower priority data should not result in back pressure against higher priority data. To be fully implemented, lower and higher priority data must be carried on different TCs. + +The quality of service requested for a TC may vary depending on the data priority for which it is established. These quality of service targets need not be uniform across an MCS domain. + +Aspects of quality of service that are of interest include maximum or average throughput and transit delay. High priority data may favour low transit delay for real-time response but may not require high throughput. Low priority data, on the other hand, may favour high throughput for bulk transfers but may not require low transit delay. + +TC priority is another aspect of quality of service, although it does not align precisely with the concept of MCS data transfer priority. It specifies the relative order in which TCs are to have their quality of service degraded, if necessary. High TC priority may be requested along with other characteristics, like low transit delay, to ensure that MCS priority data receives the preferential treatment it deserves. + +Connect MCSPDUs occur only as the first TSDU carried in either direction of a TC. **Connect-Initial** and **Connect-Response** traverse the initial TC of an MCS connection. **Connect-Additional** and **Connect-Result** traverse additional TCs, if any. + +A calling MCS provider, issuing T-CONNECT requests, controls through its own actions which TCs are part of the same MCS connection and what data transfer priorities they represent. + +A called MCS provider, receiving T-CONNECT indications, must in general accept a TC and read its first TSDU before learning its significance. **Connect-Initial** identifies an incoming TC as the beginning of a new MCS connection. **Connect-Additional** identifies an incoming TC as part of an MCS connection in progress. + +**Connect-Additional** contains a value assigned by the called MCS provider and conveyed to the calling MCS provider in a **Connect-Response** over the initial TC that designates the additional TC as belonging to the same MCS connection. **Connect-Additional** also states explicitly the data priority that the TC represents. + +Connect MCSPDUs are exchanged immediately following TC establishment. Once an MCS connection has been confirmed, it becomes part of a hierarchical MCS domain. Thereafter the MCS connection conveys domain MCSPDUs. + +With the exception of data MCSPDUs, domain MCSPDUs traverse the initial TC of an MCS connection. Data MCSPDUs traverse the TC that corresponds to their data priority. If the priority specified is beyond the number implemented in an MCS domain, a data MCSPDU traverses the TC of the lowest priority that is implemented. + +If only one priority is implemented in an MCS domain, its MCS connections each consist of a single TC, no use is made of **Connect-Additional** or **Connect-Result**, and all MCSPDUs travel in sequence between providers. + +## 6.3 Transport connection release + +A TS provider adds reliability to end-to-end connections by executing enough protocol to compensate for any weakness in underlying network services. An MCS provider does not duplicate this functionality. It does not attempt further automatic recovery in the event of a transport failure. + +Unrecoverable errors are announced through a T-DISCONNECT indication. If any of the TCs belonging to an MCS connection is disconnected, the others are immediately disconnected too. Unless this was requested by the user, an MCS-DISCONNECT-PROVIDER indication is generated, and the reason is given as provider-initiated. + +An MCS-DISCONNECT-PROVIDER request, on the other hand, should appear as an indication at the other side with the reason given as user-requested. Despite assurances in X.214, the simplest class of transport protocol does not allow passing user data in T-DISCONNECT. Hence, the disconnect reason code is transferred in an explicit MCSPDU. This MCSPDU compels an MCS provider, upon receipt, to disconnect the MCS connection that conveyed it. + +# 7 Structure of Version 2 MCSPDUs + +The structure of version 2 MCSPDUs is specified using the notation ASN.1 of Recommendation X.208.

Connect MCSPDUs are unlimited in size. Domain MCSPDUs are limited in size by a parameter of the MCS domain. + +A standard ASN.1 data value encoding is used to transfer MCSPDUs between peer MCS providers. Encoding rules are selected as part of protocol version negotiation. This negotiation involves the exchange of a **Connect-Initial** and a **Connect-Response** MCSPDU over the initial TC. Three versions of this protocol are defined: + +- *Version 1* – All MCSPDUs are described in clause 7 and use the Basic Encoding Rules of Recommendation X.690. +- *Version 2* – All MCSPDUs are described in clause 7. This version uses Basic Encoding Rules for connect MCSPDUs and the Packed Encoding Rules of Recommendation X.691 for all subsequent domain MCSPDUs. Specifically, the ALIGNED variant of BASIC-PER shall be applied to the ASN.1 type **DomainMCSPDU**. The bit string produced shall be conveyed as an integral number of octets. The leading bit of this string shall coincide with the most significant bit of the first octet. +- *Version 3* – Connect MCSPDUs are described in clause 7 and use Basic Encoding Rules for backward compatibility with Version 2. Extended Parameters and Domain MCSPDUs are described in clause 8 and use Packed Encoding Rules as specified for Version 2, above. Version 3 enabled nodes must be able to translate version 3 protocol into version 2 protocol for transmission over a connection to a node which has specified version 2 protocol in the domain parameters. This translation is described in 13.11. + +NOTE 1 – The Packed Encoding Rules yield more compact MCSPDU headers. + +NOTE 2 – Both BER and PER are self-delimiting, in the sense that they contain enough information to locate the end of each encoded MCSPDU. It might be argued that this makes the use of TSDUs unnecessary and that this protocol could be implemented over non-standard transport services that convey octet streams without preserving TSDU boundaries. However, such an approach is more vulnerable to implementation errors. If the boundary between MCSPDUs were ever lost, recovery would be difficult. + +# 10 Routing of MCSPDUs + +## 10.1 Connect and extended parameters MCSPDUs + +Figures 10-1 and 10-2 specify the exchange of connect and extended parameters MCSPDUs (the number and relative order of additional TCs may vary). + +With the receipt of a **Connect-Response**, the calling MCS provider will determine if the new connection is between two members of the V3 summit by examining the negotiated version number. If so, it will initiate the exchange of the **Extended-Parameters** MCSPDUs. If either node is not a member of the V3 summit, the calling provider will not issue an **Extended-Parameters-Propose**, but will proceed with **Connect-Additional** MCSPDUs. + +After receiving the **Connect-Response**, the calling MCS provider also learns the negotiated value for the number of data transfer priorities implemented in the domain. For illustration, connect MCSPDUs on additional TCs are shown obeying the strict sequence 2, 3, 4 at the called MCS provider. In reality, transport connections may not be established in the same order that they are requested. Indeed, a **Connect-Additional** may arrive in a different order than it was sent, causing a **Connect-Result** to be returned out of sequence too. Or the latter, even if sent in sequence, may still be reordered in transit. A calling MCS provider need not wait for all additional TCs to be established + +before sending the first **Connect-Additional**. The called MCS provider need not wait for a full set of **Connect-Additional** MCSPDUs to arrive before returning the first **Connect-Result**. Receipt of a full set of successful results at the calling MCS provider, in whatever order, generates a successful MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER confirm. + +An unsuccessful **Connect-Response** or **Connect-Result** or a T-DISCONNECT indication at some intermediate point shall cause all TCs belonging to the MCS connection so far to be disconnected and shall generate an unsuccessful MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER confirm. + +An MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request specifies which of two MCS providers is higher than the other. This hierarchical relationship determines the subsequent routing of domain MCSPDUs, and the distinction between calling and called MCS provider is thereafter irrelevant. For example, a next step is for the MCS layer to merge the resources of two previously independent domains. **MergeChannelsRequest** and **MergeTokensRequest** are generated by the lower MCS provider and are transmitted across the new MCS connection to the higher MCS provider. The direction in which these MCSPDUs are sent could be either calling-to-called or called-to-calling, depending on how the upward flag was set. + +![Sequence diagram showing message flow between Calling Provider and Called Provider for MCS connection establishment and extended parameters.](a003ffe7299e0a48bceb7f1e45a4f1a3_img.jpg) + +``` + +sequenceDiagram + participant CP as Calling Provider + participant CDP as Called Provider + Note left of CP: MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request + CP->>CDP: Connect-Initial + Note right of CDP: MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER indication + CDP->>CP: Connect-Response + Note left of CP: TC 1 + CP->>CDP: Extended-Parameters-Propose + Note right of CDP: TC 1 + CDP->>CP: Extended-Parameters-Accept + Note left of CP: TC 1 + CP->>CDP: Connect-Additional + Note right of CDP: TC 2 + CP->>CDP: Connect-Additional + Note right of CDP: TC 3 + CP->>CDP: Connect-Additional + Note right of CDP: TC 4 + CDP->>CP: Connect-Result + Note left of CP: TC 2 + CDP->>CP: Connect-Result + Note left of CP: TC 3 + CDP->>CP: Connect-Result + Note left of CP: TC 4 + Note left of CP: MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER confirm + +``` + +The diagram illustrates the message flow between a Calling Provider and a Called Provider.

This requires each MCS provider to maintain a first-in first-out queue of pending requests. +- b) **MergeTokensConfirm** retraces, in the opposite direction, the path of the earliest **MergeTokensRequest** that has not yet been answered by a confirm.

It is sent as the first TSDU over the initial TC of a new MCS connection. At the receiver, it generates an MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER indication. + +**Table 11-1/T.125 – Connect-Initial MCSPDU** + +| Contents | Source | Sink | +|---------------------------|---------|------------| +| Calling Domain Selector | Request | Indication | +| Called Domain Selector | Request | Indication | +| Upward Flag | Request | Indication | +| Target Domain Parameters | Request | Indication | +| Minimum Domain Parameters | Request | Indication | +| Maximum Domain Parameters | Request | Indication | +| User Data | Request | Indication | + +Calling transport address and called transport address are additional parameters of the MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request and indication. They become parameters of T-CONNECT and are not passed explicitly in any MCSPDU. The same pair of transport addresses shall be used to request all TCs belonging to the same MCS connection. + +Transport quality of service is an additional parameter of the MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER request but not of the indication. Quality of service can vary from one TC to another, and the quality available is only disclosed in the process of establishing a given TC. Since the number of additional + +TCs needed is not known until MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER has negotiated the domain parameter for number of data priorities implemented, this primitive cannot at the same time fully negotiate their transport quality of service. A called MCS provider shall therefore accept incoming TCs automatically at the offered quality of service, so long as this meets any minimum optionally specified by the calling MCS provider and indicated through each individual T-CONNECT. + +The interpretation of domain selector values is a local matter for each MCS provider. These are octet strings that have the characteristics of an address. Acceptable values may be determined through the process of configuring an MCS provider. More than one value may select the same domain. An unspecified domain selector is an octet string of length zero. This may be resolved, through local convention, to some explicit value. + +The upward flag specifies the direction of a new MCS connection: true if the called provider is to be considered higher than the calling provider and false otherwise. An MCS provider plays a role in the hierarchy of a domain based on the direction of MCS connections in which it participates. No provider shall allow two connections to higher providers. A provider without a connection to a higher provider shall act as top MCS provider. + +The target domain parameters of **Connect-Initial** individually shall lie between the minimum and maximum values specified. An MCS provider shall revise the requested domain parameters to reflect limits of its implementation or to impose values already agreed among the existing members of a domain. It may increase the minimums and decrease the maximums. It shall change targets only to keep them within the interval. An MCS provider should be prepared to honour any response that falls within the range of values it proposes. + +User data is an arbitrary octet string. It may have length zero. + +An MCS provider automatically accepts each incoming TC to the limit of its capacity. User data in T-CONNECT is unused. The first TSDU received in data transfer, being either a **Connect-Initial** or a **Connect-Additional** MCSPDU, determines the nature of the TC. If the content is unacceptable, a called MCS provider may disconnect the TC immediately. The preferred reaction is to return a **Connect-Response** or **Connect-Result**, as the case may be, explaining why the MCS connection failed. The calling MCS provider shall then disconnect. + +## 11.2 Connect-Response + +**Connect-Response** is generated by an MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER response. It is the first TSDU sent in reverse over the initial TC of a new MCS connection. It conveys the acceptance of an MCS connection to the calling MCS provider, which then proceeds to establish any additional TCs required. + +**Table 11-2/T.125 – Connect-Response MCSPDU** + +| Contents | Source | Sink | +|-------------------|-----------------|------------------| +| Result | Response | Confirm | +| Domain Parameters | Response | Confirm | +| Called Connect Id | Called provider | Calling provider | +| User Data | Response | Confirm | + +If the result is successful, this MCSPDU fixes the domain parameters in effect.

If this exceeds one, additional TCs shall be created and bound to the MCS connection through the exchange of **Connect-Additional** and **Connect-Result** MCSPDUs. + +The called connect id serves as the means for associating additional incoming TCs at the called MCS provider with this initial TC. Its value is chosen for this purpose alone. It shall uniquely identify one MCS connection in progress at the called provider. This id has no lasting significance following the completion of MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER. + +Most of the parameters of MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER confirm are conveyed in **Connect-Response**. If the result is unsuccessful or no additional TCs are needed, confirm is generated immediately. Otherwise, it is deferred until the results are known for binding additional TCs to the MCS connection. + +## 11.3 Connect-Additional + +If the calling MCS provider determines that both providers are members of the V3 summit, **Connect-Additional** is generated following receipt of **Extended-Parameters-Accept**, otherwise it will be generated following receipt of **Connect-Response**. It is sent as the first TSDU over an additional TC of a new MCS connection. + +Data priority takes on the values *high*, *medium*, and *low* in sequence, up to the number of additional TCs required. + +**Table 11-3/T.125 – Connect-Additional MCSPDU** + +| Contents | Source | Sink | +|-------------------|------------------|-----------------| +| Called Connect Id | Calling provider | Called provider | +| Data Priority | Calling provider | Called provider | + +## 11.4 Connect-Result + +**Connect-Result** is generated following receipt of **Connect-Additional**.

All TCs associated with the MCS connection shall be disconnected and any MCSPDUs they convey shall be ignored. + +Otherwise, successful results shall be awaited for each additional TC. These may return out-of-sequence. When all have been collected, a successful MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER confirm shall be generated. + +After MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER confirm, domain MCSPDUs may flow across an MCS connection. Each MCS connection belongs to a single domain. In configurations where an MCS provider hosts more than one domain, the MCS connection that carries MCSPDUs determines which domain they apply to. The descriptions of domain MCSPDUs that occupy the remainder of this subclause are set in the context of a single domain. + +## 11.5 Extended-Parameters-Propose + +Following the receipt of **Connect-Response**, if the calling MCS provider determines that both providers are members of the V3 summit, **Extended-Parameters-Propose** is generated. It is sent over the initial TC of a new MCS connection. + +**Table 11-5/T.125 – Extended-Parameters-Propose MCSPDU** + +| Contents | Source | Sink | +|-----------------------------|------------------|-----------------| +| Target Extended Parameters | Calling provider | Called provider | +| Minimum Extended Parameters | Calling provider | Called provider | +| Maximum Extended Parameters | Calling provider | Called provider | + +For extended parameters with a range of possible values, the target parameters of **Extended-Parameters-Propose** individually shall lie between the minimum and maximum values specified.

It may increase the minimums and decrease the maximums. It shall change targets only to keep them within the interval. An MCS provider should be prepared to honour any accepted target that falls within the range of values it proposes. If the extended parameters are unacceptable, a called MCS provider will disconnect the TC immediately. + +For the *Unreliable data is supported* value, if the calling provider wishes to allow the value to be negotiated, the Minimum value will be False, the Maximum value will be True and the target value will indicate the caller's preference. If support of unreliable data is nonnegotiable, Target, Minimum and Maximum will be set to the callers preference. + +The value for *Domain Reference Identifier* will be identical for Target, Minimum and Maximum and will uniquely identify this domain to the calling provider. The called provider may use this value to refer to this domain to the calling provider. + +## 11.6 Extended-Parameters-Accept + +**Extended-Parameters-Accept** is generated following receipt of **Extended-Parameters-Propose**.

It plumbs the hierarchy of MCS providers below a new MCS connection to ensure that + +no cycle has been created. **PlumbDomainIndication** is also generated by the top MCS provider to enforce the maximum height of a domain. + +**Table 11-7/T.125 – PlumbDomainIndication MCSPDU** + +| Contents | Source | Sink | +|--------------|-------------------|--------------| +| Height Limit | Former top or top | Subordinates | + +**PlumbDomainIndication** is generated at the lower end of a new MCS connection, by the provider that has ceased to be top of a domain. Its content is initialized to the domain parameter for the maximum height of the domain. **PlumbDomainIndication** is transmitted over all MCS connections downward. + +As needed, **PlumbDomainIndication** is generated in the same way at the top MCS provider. + +Wherever **PlumbDomainIndication** is received, the height limit it contains is inspected. If greater than zero, the limit is decremented by one and **PlumbDomainIndication** is forwarded over all MCS connections downward.

It maintains logically separate information bases for each to record the state of channel and token resources in use. The description that follows is set in the context of a single domain. + +The MCS resources that need to be managed in a domain are channel ids and token ids. User ids are a subset of channel ids. Domain parameters limit how many ids of each category can be in use simultaneously. This allows a provider to compute how much memory is needed for the information base in the worst case of a fully-utilized domain. + +In the hierarchy of a domain, the ids in use at any given MCS provider stabilize to a subset of those in use at its immediate superior. Information about an id is recorded where it can be used to support MCS services involving that id. Recording information more widely would entail extra costs in MCSPDU traffic to keep the information up to date. Since the information recorded at a provider is consistent with that recorded at superior providers, within the limit of MCSPDU propagation delay, it may be said that the provider information base is partially replicated through the domain hierarchy. + +Domain parameters become fixed and unchangeable with the establishment of the first MCS connection of a domain. A provider that lacks capacity for the maximum number of ids specified in each category may negotiate to join a domain on false pretense. It may speculate that at its low position in a hierarchy it will not be called upon to retain more than a fraction of the total information base. Such a provider may not support attachments and subordinates with the full range of MCS services they expect. Nonetheless, until its capacity is actually exceeded, such a provider may appear to be an equal member of the domain. This strategy may appeal to terminal nodes with limited aspirations. + +Ids are placed into use first at the top MCS provider. They are placed into use at subordinate providers by a selective downward flow of MCSPDUs. Most are deleted from use in the same top-down manner. There are necessarily intervals during which a subordinate provider records as in use an id that its superiors do not, because the MCSPDU that deletes the id remains in transit. This is not, however, a situation that endures. Control MCSPDUs are received and processed in the order of their + +transmission. The consequences of processing an MCSPDU, including its creation or deletion of channel and token ids, take effect before attention shifts to the next input event. + +An exception to the preceding paragraph is the deletion of static and assigned channel ids. Although placed into use by a downward flow of **ChannelJoinConfirm**, these channel ids are deleted in the opposite order – from the bottom up. Specifically, they are deleted when an accumulation of MCS-CHANNEL-LEAVE requests from attachments and **ChannelLeaveRequest** MCSPDUs from subordinate providers combine to leave a channel unjoined. Such transitions motivate the transmission of **ChannelLeaveRequest** further upward. Thus, for these two cases, the channel ids recorded as in use are a strict subset of those in use at the superior provider. This is an accidental corollary of optimizations designed to speed channel management as a prelude to data transfer. + +Channels ids are put into use by **MergeChannelsConfirm**, **AttachUserConfirm**, **ChannelJoinConfirm**, **ChannelConveneConfirm**, and **ChannelAdmitIndication**; they are deleted by **MergeChannelsConfirm**, **PurgeChannelsIndication**, **DetachUserIndication**, **ChannelLeaveRequest**, **ChannelDisbandIndication**, and **ChannelExpelIndication**. Token ids are put into use by **MergeTokensConfirm**, **TokenGrabConfirm**, **TokenInhibitConfirm**, and **TokenGiveIndication**; they are deleted by **MergeTokensConfirm**, **PurgeTokensIndication**, **TokenReleaseConfirm**, **TokenGiveResponse** and **TokenGiveConfirm**. When an id is put into use at a given provider, the MCSPDU that is the cause may be forwarded to zero, one, several, or all subordinate providers. The use of an id may grow or contract gradually as, for example, individual users are admitted to and expelled from a private channel. When an id is deleted from a given provider, the MCSPDU that effects this is forwarded to all subordinates who may still be recording the id as in use. + +The use of an id is ultimately tied to actions on a channel or token by a user attached to the domain (although there may be some delay, as explained, in communicating changes through the transmission of MCSPDUs). The ids recorded stably as in use at a given MCS provider are those that are actively employed by some user in the subtree of the provider. It follows that they are a subset of those recorded stably at any superior provider. + +Deleting a user id has the corollary effect of deleting channel ids and token ids of which it is the sole user in a subtree. + +Criteria for considering channel ids and token ids to be in use are specified in the following subclauses. + +## 12.2 Channel information + +The four kinds of channel have corresponding criteria to determine whether a given attachment is considered to be using the channel id, hence whether it is to be represented in a provider's information base: + +- a) A static channel id (range 1..1000) is in use if the user has joined the channel with a successful MCS-CHANNEL-JOIN confirm and not left by MCS-CHANNEL-LEAVE request or indication. +- b) A user id channel is in use if it was assigned to the user by a successful MCS-ATTACH-USER confirm and the user has not detached by MCS-DETACH-USER request or indication. +- c) A private channel id is in use if the user has created the channel with a successful MCS-CHANNEL-CONVENE confirm or been admitted to it with MCS-CHANNEL-ADMIT indication and not expelled by MCS-CHANNEL-EXPEL indication and the channel has not been disbanded by MCS-CHANNEL-DISBAND request or indication. + +- d) An assigned channel id is in use if the user has joined the channel with a successful MCS-CHANNEL-JOIN confirm and not left by MCS-CHANNEL-LEAVE request or indication. + +This information shall be recorded for a channel id in use: + +- a) The kind of channel it represents (static, user id, private, or assigned). +- b) By which MCS attachments and which MCS connections to subordinate providers the channel is joined. +- c) If a user id channel, the direction to it, that is, either the local MCS attachment to which the user id is assigned or the downward MCS connection to a subordinate provider in whose subtree the user resides. +- d) If a private channel id, the user id of the manager who convened it (whether or not the manager itself is in the subtree of the provider) and the set of all user ids in the subtree of the provider who have been admitted to the channel. + +The information recorded for channel ids is employed as explained in clause 10 to validate request MCSPDUs and to route indication and confirm MCSPDUs. + +## 12.3 Token information + +The state transitions of a token id are shown in Figure 12-1.

A plausible history is that the token was given by user A, attached to provider A, to user B, attached to provider B. Before user B could respond, however, provider G connected the domain to a new top provider H and began a merger. The new domain, unable to accept user B because of a conflict in channel ids, initiated its purge through **PurgeChannelsIndication**. This MCSPDU is shown having completed part of its journey through providers G and D. Provider G, as a result, has adjusted its token state from *giving* to *ungiveable* and merged the token, with this state, into the new domain. The new top provider H, presented with a token in such a state, has queued for transmission an unsuccessful **TokenGiveConfirm** to return the token to user A. At the time shown, the token has also finally been accepted by user B, and a **TokenGiveResponse** is making its way up the recipient's branch of the domain hierarchy, changing the token state at each provider from *giving* to *grabbed* by B. Two MCSPDUs now converge on provider F, and whichever arrives first determines its subsequent state there: either returned to *grabbed* by A or transiently *grabbed* by B and then *not in use* again after user B is detached. In either case, the state of the token will stabilize to *grabbed* by A when the new top provider transmits the **TokenGiveConfirm** it has pending. + +# 13 Elements of procedure + +## 13.1 MCSPDU sequencing + +Control MCSPDUs remain in sequence between any pair of MCS providers because they travel over a single TC, the initial TC of an MCS connection. MCS providers shall process received MCSPDUs and shall transmit any resulting output MCSPDUs in the same order. This applies to MCSPDUs that are simply forwarded up or down the domain hierarchy as well as to MCSPDUs that are transformed, such as requests or responses into indications or confirms. The sequencing of MCSPDUs shall be maintained within an MCS provider if it is necessary to queue outputs for later transmission due to the back-pressure of flow control along a TC. + +Data MCSPDUs of different priorities need not remain in sequence. On the contrary, the benefit of relative priorities is only achieved when higher priority data is advanced ahead of lower priority data. This means that it should be transmitted over separate TCs and queued separately within each MCS provider. If the number of data priorities implemented in a domain is less than the maximum, fewer TCs are available, but providers that elect to do so may still maintain separate queues internally. This realizes some but not all the benefits of relative priority. + +An MCS provider shall maintain the sequence of data MCSPDUs transmitted at a given priority. This is a tighter restriction than that imposed by Recommendation T.122, which guarantees only the sequencing of service data units transmitted at a given priority over the same destination channel. + +Control MCSPDUs and data MCSPDUs of top priority are transmitted over the same initial TC and shall receive equal attention by an MCS provider. Data of lower priorities may lag behind. Control indications advancing ahead may arrive before lower priority data that was actually transmitted first. + +## **13.2 Input flow control** + +An MCS provider has goals that sometimes conflict: to keep data moving briskly through a domain despite transient blockages towards some receivers, to give transmitters fair access to the available bandwidth, and to prevent any party from lagging far behind peers who are receiving the same multicast data. MCS is a reliable service that preserves the integrity of user data. Since a provider has limited capacity to store MCSPDUs when they cannot be transmitted immediately, it must have a defense of sometimes refusing further inputs. While details of the interface to transport services are a local matter, the abstract effect must be that incoming TSDUs are held in TC pipelines, intact and in sequence, to be received at some future time when flow control is lifted. As TC pipelines fill, remote MCS providers may find that they are blocked by back-pressure from transmitting further MCSPDUs and may need to invoke a similar defense. + +Flow control is not signalled explicitly in the MCS protocol. This is a function of lower layers that would be wasteful to duplicate. As a result, it is difficult to sense, through the medium of an intervening TC, whether a remote provider is resisting further inputs. To meet conflicting goals as well as possible, the policies described next may be recommended. + +An MCS provider may grant each incoming TC a fixed quota of buffers that it may fill with MCSPDUs before back pressure is applied. Each buffer is processed as specified in this protocol, then assigned for output to zero or more outgoing TCs. Output may occur immediately or may be delayed because a transport pipeline is full. Until it is output to the last TC, a buffer is charged against the input quota of the TC by which it arrived. After it is output to all requisite TCs, it is recycled as an increment to that quota. When a quota is exhausted, further inputs over the corresponding TC are halted. Input quotas may be set taking into account whether a TC is part of an upward or downward MCS connection and what data priority it represents. + +Buffering can mitigate a disparity of rates between transmitters and receivers. A quota on inputs can prevent any one TC from monopolizing resources. It can also bound how far out of step two receivers of the same multicast data can get. The recommended scheme is not clever enough, however, to anticipate all patterns of use and may sometimes slow the rate of data transfer through a domain when there are acceptable alternatives. The invention of better flow control policies (implemented locally and requiring no additional communication of MCSPDUs) may be a means of product differentiation. + +## **13.3 Throughput enforcement** + +In contrast to input flow control, some support for throughput enforcement is explicit in the MCS protocol. Firstly, the rate that is enforced is a domain parameter negotiated through + +MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER. Secondly, the time interval over which throughput is monitored before taking adverse action is communicated by each MCS provider to its superior through **ErectDomainRequest**. To describe the throughput enforcement interval requires that providers share some common principles of behavior. Still, enforcement remains a heuristic technique with room for invention. + +Enforcing a minimum input rate at each receiver is an option available to controller applications, which establish the MCS connections of a domain. This option is selected through the domain parameter for enforced throughput, which is stated in octets per second. While it seems intuitive that a party should not be allowed to run arbitrarily slowly and thereby obstruct data transfer among others, there is danger in seeking to enforce throughput too strictly. + +Complex patterns of multiple transmitters are a problem. The kinds of back-pressure to which an enforcement policy reacts may not result from a single abnormally slow receiver. In the first place, MCSPDUs heading downward must compete for attention with MCSPDUs that rise from below but are reflected back, notably **SendDataIndication**. The downward flow experienced through a peer provider may therefore attain only a fraction of the nominal bandwidth and may vary dynamically with the number of other connections and attachments to the peer. Secondly, only top priority MCSPDUs can be expected to flow continuously over an MCS connection. Lesser priorities can properly be blocked by a peer provider for long periods of time due to the intensity of traffic received from other sources at higher priorities. Finally, there can be great variation in instantaneous throughput if it is measured by how long a blocked MCSPDU must wait before being accepted onto an MCS connection. Among other things, this can depend on how many and in what order MCSPDUs from other sources are queued inside the peer provider. + +Nonetheless, throughput enforcement is a valuable option in practical situations where patterns of data transfer are known to be more uniform. It shall be interpreted as requiring a minimal output of MCSPDUs to each direct MCS attachment and to each MCS connection downward over a time interval to be specified by the enforcing MCS provider. Each MCSPDU output, both control and data, shall count towards throughput as though it were the maximum size allowed by domain parameters. The output of an MCSPDU to an MCS attachment shall mean delivery of the associated primitive indication or confirm. Output to a downward MCS connection shall mean the absence of back-pressure at the transport service interface and acceptance into the corresponding TC pipeline. + +Output shall be monitored as long as one or more MCSPDUs are queued, regardless of data priority, towards a given attachment or downward connection. Whenever the queues empty, monitoring shall cease, with no enforcement action taken. At the same time, no credit for good behavior shall be recorded to offset future slowdowns. Monitoring shall resume as soon as back-pressure prevents any MCSPDU from being output and requires it to be queued instead. While one or more MCSPDUs remain queued, the number actually output shall be counted over a set interval of time. + +A throughput enforcement interval shall be chosen by each MCS provider. The interval shall be long enough to allow at least one MCSPDU of maximum size to be output at the minimum throughput. An MCS provider shall advise its superior of the interval chosen and of any subsequent changes to it by transmitting **ErectDomainRequest** upward. A provider shall act against the offending MCS attachment or downward MCS connection at the end of any interval during which the monitored throughput fails to meet expectations. It shall detach the user or disconnect the connection. + +Superior providers may set their throughput enforcement interval to be longer than that of any subordinate plus some margin of reaction time. The aim is to encourage enforcement action first at the lowest provider in a position to detect a problem. When a violator is removed at the end of some lower interval, superior providers should have enough time to sense the restoration of throughput to adequate levels. If they act too quickly, they may penalize a larger subtree than necessary and disrupt innocents in the domain. + +The controller applications that set domain parameters should be conservative in their demands, expecting that throughput may occasionally dip during periods of intense application stimuli. If their concern is simply to defend against receivers that stop accepting anything at all, they may set the minimum throughput very low. Knowing the maximum MCSPDU size and enforced throughput rate, controllers can calculate the minimum interval that must elapse before any blockage is detected and overcome. + +## 13.4 Domain configuration + +Recommendation T.122 provides no mechanism for configuring the set of domains supported by an MCS provider. This must be considered a local matter whose standardization may be the subject of further study. This protocol assumes that an MCS provider will recognize some domain selectors as valid and others as invalid. It provides for domain selectors to be communicated as part of establishing an MCS connection. + +An MCS provider participates implicitly in the negotiation of domain parameters. Whether the calling or the called side, it constrains the range of allowed parameter values according to limits for which it is configured. An MCS provider shall freeze the negotiability of domain parameters once any user has attached to a domain or once the first MCS connection has been established. + +## 13.5 Domain merger + +Domains are merged as a consequence of MCS-CONNECT-PROVIDER. If it is convenient to arrange that one domain or the other be empty at this point, there is little complication in a merger. In the most general case, however, provision must be made for updating the information base at the remaining top provider to contain the information base of the former top provider and for resolving any conflicts that become apparent. The details of this are explained in clause 10. + +To aid understanding, an example of domain merger is illustrated in the sequence of Figures 13-1 through 13-4. Here provider E represents a former top that has joined a new domain by the highlighted MCS connection to an intermediate provider F. It is irrelevant whether provider E or provider F initiated the MCS connection. + +![Diagram illustrating the domain merger step one - Establish hierarchy.

ErectDomainRequest from Provider F to the Top MCS Provider. + +**Figure 13-1/T.125 – Domain merger step one – Establish hierarchy** + +Provider E, finding itself at the lower end of a connection upward, assumes responsibility for executing the merger. Since it is unsafe to transact other activity while the information base is in flux, provider E stops accepting inputs from its subtree. Any MCSPDUs already in transit from providers A and B or new ones generated before the merger is completed will be safeguarded and processed later. The downward flow of MCSPDUs, however, is not impeded, whether generated by provider E or forwarded from further above. + +Until the merger completes, the only confirm MCSPDUs provider E will receive are **MergeChannelsConfirm** and **MergeTokensConfirm**, since user requests are not allowed upward. These will confirm or purge channel and token ids already in use. Indication MCSPDUs **PurgeChannelsIndication**, **PurgeTokensIndication**, **DetachUserIndication**, and **ChannelDisbandIndication** of the upper domain may also arrive, deleting channel and token ids from the lower domain whose merger has been individually confirmed. Unconfirmed ids of the lower domain are protected against deletion, because as yet they mean something different from the same id of the upper domain. **PlumbDomainIndication** must be obeyed to enforce the domain height limit. Remaining indications need not be applied by provider E while merger is in progress. Data transfers, in particular, need not flow between the formerly separate domains until merger is completed; they cannot flow until at least the channels conveying them have been sorted out. Two indications that can place new ids into use may be inconvenient to apply. To keep the information base consistent, if provider E refuses **ChannelAdmitIndication** or **TokenGiveIndication**, it will react as specified in clause 10. + +The first actions of provider E are to send **PlumbDomainIndication** downward, to ensure that the latest MCS connection has not created a cycle that would invalidate the principle that each domain hierarchy have exactly one top provider, and to send **ErectDomainRequest** upward to report its existing height and throughput enforcement interval. Provider F, advancing thereby from height 2 to 3, passes **ErectDomainRequest** along to the top provider, which then attains height 4. + +In the second stage of domain merger, provider E sends upward as many instances of **MergeChannelsRequest** as it takes to contain the user ids in its information base. User ids that do not conflict with the upper domain are confirmed and the rest are purged in equally many instances of **MergeChannelsConfirm**. Provider E generates **PurgeChannelsIndication** from **MergeChannelsConfirm** to report any purges throughout its subtree. This stage ends when all user ids have either been explicitly confirmed or purged. + +![Diagram illustrating the domain merger step two - Merge user id channels.

There is no requirement that the values allocated fit any particular pattern. Rather, it is desirable that the values be randomly dispersed over the allowed range. This makes it more likely that two domains that operate independently for a substantial period of time may later be merged without conflicts in their respective allocation of channel ids. It also defends against recycling ids too quickly within a single domain as they are released from one use and then reallocated for a different use. Applications using MCS should have time to adjust to the disappearance of a channel or user id before it returns in a new incarnation. + +In situations where the seamless merging of active domains is required, conflicts may be avoided by selecting channel ids from a subrange unique to each provider. Subranges may be created by dividing the dynamically allocated channel ids 1001..65535 into several bands. Furthermore, within a subrange, ids may be allocated sequentially in one direction, from top or bottom. Providers that employ subrange allocation shall still obey all aspects of this protocol, including the procedure for domain merger. They shall thereby accommodate peer providers that may lack unique subranges. + +NOTE – It is a matter of local implementation how a provider chooses a subrange from which to allocate. Pre-arranged conferences may be banded by a network-management system. + +Token ids, unlike channel ids, are not allocated, and the dividing line of value 1001 has no significance for them. A free token id with a given value is statically available to be grabbed or inhibited at any time, subject only to a domain limit on the total number in use at once. + +## 13.8 Token status + +Token status is defined formally in clause 7. It is returned as a component of token confirm MCSPDUs and is used to update the record for a token id in the information base of subordinate + +providers. Token status is not necessarily reported directly through a confirm primitive to the initiating user but may be reported indirectly through a result value. + +When more than one token status value describes the relationship of a given user to a specified token id, the order of preference shall be as follows. *Self-recipient* shall be reported first, if it fits, to remind the user that they must respond to an MCS-TOKEN-GIVE indication. Next preferred is *self-giving*, to remind the user that they are engaged in an uncompleted operation, followed by *self-grabbed* or *self-inhibited*. Last in order are the remaining status values, reflecting the token's current state as a result of its sole use by other parties. + +An MCS provider relies on the specified preference for token status values in order to update the token state correctly in its information base. + +## 13.9 Capabilities Notification + +Through extensibility mechanisms built into the V3 protocol, capabilities can be implemented in MCS by adding components to T.125 PDUs, or even by adding new PDUs, without requiring a new version of the protocol. A given node can act on PDU parameters it understands and simply relay unrecognized parameters intact. + +In order for a given capability to be exercised, certain conditions may have to be met by the nodes which comprise the domain. These conditions, or rules, could include such things as a degree of participation by other nodes, or the presence or absence of Version 2 nodes. For example, a certain capability may require the participation of every node in the domain in order to be exercised. On the other hand, another capability may require only two or more nodes to participate in order to be useful. In other words, a set of rules is associated with each capability and a given node must make a decision whether to exercise this capability based on these rules and the state of the domain. + +The **CapabilitiesNotificationRequest** and **CapabilitiesNotificationIndication** PDUs provide a means to facilitate capabilities notification in a V3 summit. The **CapabilitiesNotificationRequest** PDU carries capabilities which various nodes wish to be added to or removed from the summit capabilities list. In addition, this PDU is also used to notify other nodes of status changes in regard to V2 connections. The **CapabilitiesNotificationIndication** PDU is used to effect changes to the summit capabilities list and to inform of V2 connection status. For the remainder of this subclause, a **CapabilitiesNotificationRequest** PDU will be referred to as a "**Request**", and a **CapabilitiesNotificationIndication** PDU will be referred to as an "**Indication**". + +### 13.9.1 Capability IDs + +A capability is a high level behavior of the system, most likely requiring the cooperation between two or more nodes. As capabilities are developed, they are assigned a Capability ID. This ID could be standardized and documented in T.125. A Capability ID thus designates a set of PDU parameters (not necessarily in the same PDU), possibly a set of values for those parameters, and the required processing of those PDUs by participating nodes. + +### 13.9.2 Version 3 Summits + +It cannot be expected that a domain hierarchy will consist solely of V3 nodes. Due to the stipulation of T.125 (Revised) that the protocol version be negotiated on a per connection basis, it is possible for a domain to consist of a mixture of V2 and V3 nodes. T.125 (Revised) also stipulates that a V3 capable node must source and sink only V2 PDUs if its upward connection negotiates to the V2 protocol with its superior node. These nodes are equivalent to V2 nodes, and are considered as such for the remainder of subclause 13.9. + +A V3 summit is a group of contiguously connected V3 nodes situated at the top of the domain hierarchy. The top provider in the domain must be a V3 node in order for a V3 summit to exist. The + +nodes which comprise the summit are able to exchange capabilities information, but are not capable of exchanging this information with any V2 nodes in the domain. This may or may not hinder the use of a given capability. Within the V3 summit, the top provider for the domain is referred to as the "V3 summit provider". + +### **13.9.3 Rules of capability selection** + +There are several factors which influence whether a given capability is to be exercised in a V3 summit. These factors are predominantly a measure of participation in the capability by other nodes. For example, suppose a capability required all nodes in the domain to perform a given task at the same time. A PDU could be exchanged between all nodes which contained a reference time for when the given task was to be performed. In order for this to happen, all nodes in the domain would have to participate, by definition. This would not be possible if the domain contained either a V2 node, or a V3 node which did not have this capability implemented. On the other hand, some capabilities may not require domain-wide or summit-wide participation. + +#### **13.9.3.1 Presence of V2 nodes in the domain** + +Any V3 node in a summit will be aware if it has a downward connection to a V2 node. Via the proposed V3 protocol changes, it will be possible for the V3 node to notify all V3 nodes in the summit that a V2 node has a connection to the summit. Some capabilities may be useless in a domain where V2 nodes are present. Other capabilities may not be affected at all. By knowing whether a V2 node is connected to the summit, an individual node can make the decision whether to exercise a given capability. + +#### **13.9.3.2 V3 node participation** + +In order to be exercised, capabilities will require a certain amount of participation by nodes in the V3 summit. Each capability will be categorized as requiring either "global" or "partial" participation. Global participation means that every node in the summit must participate in order for the capability to be exercised. Partial participation requires the cooperation of two or more nodes. This participation requirement is known as a "participation indicator". Capabilities with a partial participation indicator are known as "partial capabilities". Capabilities with a global participation indicator are known as "global capabilities". Knowing the participation indicator for a given capability allows the summit provider to make a decision as to whether that capability should be made available to the summit. + +#### **13.9.3.3 Intervening V3 nodes** + +Because of ASN.1 extension marks, it is possible for a V3 node to receive a PDU with components the node does not recognize. The node will, however, recognize the PDU these components are associated with and relay the unrecognized components intact along with the PDU. + +In addition to extending existing PDUs, the V3 protocol allows for the addition of new PDUs. The problem with this is that nodes which do not recognize new PDUs have no idea how to route them. In this situation, it would be advantageous for a node which sourced such a PDU to know whether the intervening nodes on the path to the V3 summit provider supported the PDU. If so, the sending node could assume that each node along the path would know how to deal with the PDU. The proposed changes to the V3 protocol contains a facility whereby any node, for each capability, is informed whether that capability is supported by the intervening nodes. + +#### **13.9.3.4 Capability class** + +Once it has been decided that a certain capability is to be made available to the V3 summit, there must be a facility to associate a value with that capability, if need be. This is done via the Capability + +Class. Each capability would be classified as being in the class MIN, MAX, or NULL. For capabilities of class MIN, the V3 summit provider is responsible for determining the minimum value to be used for a capability by selecting the minimum value requested of every participating node. Likewise for capabilities of class MAX, the V3 summit provider is responsible for determining the maximum value to be used. A capability of class NULL has no value associated with it. + +Once a capability is standardized, it is expected that the associated capability class is also standardized. Every time a given capability is requested from a lower node, the summit provider should see only a single capability class ever associated with that capability. If the summit provider ever receives a request for a capability with a capability class different than that of an original request, the summit provider should consider this an error condition and ignore the request. + +### 13.9.4 Establishing the V3 summit provider + +Every V3 summit is initially established by a single V3 node. The V3 node will be the "top provider" in a single node domain. This summit provider is aware only of its own capabilities. + +Each of the summit provider's capabilities require either partial or global participation within this one-node summit. None of the partial capabilities are put in the summit capabilities list because they require, by definition, the participation of two or more nodes. The question is whether the capabilities requiring global participation are put in the list. It can be argued that "all nodes" in the summit are participating and, therefore, all the node's global capabilities should be in the summit list. If any of these global capabilities can be exercised, however, they obviously must be a capability which requires only a single node's participation. Such capabilities really are not a topic of this Recommendation. If any capability can be exercised by a single node, this protocol is irrelevant to that capability. It is for this reason that the summit capabilities list is considered to be empty when the summit consists of a single V3 node. + +### 13.9.5 Expanding the V3 summit + +Once the V3 summit provider is established, the summit expands as other V3 nodes connect to the summit provider. A new leaf node generates a **Request** to be sent to the summit provider. This PDU contains the capabilities, and aspects of those capabilities, which the leaf node wishes to be placed in the summit capabilities list. + +From this PDU, the summit provider is able to do two things. First, it can formulate state information about the capabilities requested by the new connection. Second, based on summit-wide state information, it can make a sound judgement as to which capabilities should appear in the summit capabilities list. An **Indication** is then generated and transmitted downward to inform the leaf node of the contents of the summit list, as well as the status of V2 nodes connected to the summit. + +In this same manner, the V3 summit can continue to grow. As new leaf nodes connect to intermediate nodes, a **Request** is generated and sent up. From the information contained in this PDU, the intermediate node will update its state information. Based on state information for its subtree and the current contents of the summit capabilities list, the intermediate node will take action, possibly resulting in a **Request** being transmitted up, or **Indications** being transmitted downward. Eventually, a **Request** may rise to the summit provider. If the summit provider determines that the summit capabilities list needs to be modified, it will generate and transmit an **Indication** downward for the purpose of informing other nodes in the summit. + +### 13.9.6 Processing PDU's at a leaf node + +Once a V3 leaf node establishes a connection to a superior V3 node, it must inform the superior node of its supported capabilities. For each capability requested, the leaf node will specify the capability ID and class. If standardized, the ID specified is that which is assigned to the capability in T.125. If + +the class belongs to the category MIN or MAX, the leaf node must also specify an associated value. If the class is NULL, no value is specified. + +In addition, the leaf node must specify the participation indicator for each capability. For any partial capability, the leaf node specifies a value of 1, indicating to the superior node that only the new leaf node itself has requested the capability below this new connection. + +These capabilities are packaged into the AddList component of a single **Request**. The V2NodePresent flag will be reset in the **Request**. Because this is a newly-joining leaf node, there are no V2 nodes connected to it. Also, the RemoveList component will be empty. Once packaged, this PDU is transmitted to the superior node. + +This newly-connected leaf node has no knowledge of the contents of the summit capabilities list. The node can expect to be informed of the contents of this list via a single **Indication** from the superior node. The contents of the list will be contained in the AddList component of the **Indication**. The RemoveList will be empty. The V2NodePresent flag will inform the leaf node whether a V2 node is currently connected to any node in the summit. From this point forward, the leaf node will be informed of any modifications to the summit list via an **Indication** from the superior node. Should the status of the connections to V2 nodes change, the leaf node will be informed of this via an **Indication** also. + +For each capability in the AddList component of an **Indication** received, the leaf node will be informed whether that capability is supported by the summit provider, and whether that capability is supported by each intervening node between the leaf node and the summit provider. With this information, the leaf node can decide whether to exercise a given capability. + +As long as a node remains a leaf node, it will never again need to send a **Request**. At such time as another node (V2 or V3) connects upward to this node, it then becomes an intermediate node. The processing of PDUs at an intermediate node is described in 13.9.7. + +### 13.9.7 Processing PDUs at an intermediate node + +When an intermediate node receives a **Request** from a downward connection, it will first update the state information for the associated connection. The node will then address each capability in the AddList and RemoveList components, as well as the V2NodePresent flag. Although several capabilities requiring action may arrive in a single **Request**, they are processed independently. As a result, the intermediate node may have need to transmit several pieces of information to adjacent nodes. The node will combine these actions so that no more than a single PDU is transmitted to any connection as a result of processing the original **Request**. + +#### 13.9.7.1 Maintaining state information + +Intermediate nodes maintain a set of state information for each downward connection. Upon receipt of a **Request** from a subnode, the intermediate node updates the state information associated with that connection. Included in this information are two lists. The first list consists of all partial capabilities requested by nodes below that connection. Each of these capabilities is tagged with a count of either 1 or 2. A value of 1 signifies that this capability has only been requested by a single node below the connection. A value of 2 signifies that two or more nodes have requested the capability. + +The second list consists of a set of global capabilities. In contrast to partial capabilities, global capabilities will go in the list only if they have been requested by every node below the connection. For any capability in either of the two lists, the intermediate node will also track the class of the capability and any value associated with the class. + +Finally, for each downward connection, a flag is maintained. This flag indicates whether a V2 node is connected to the summit below that connection. + +The algorithm for updating state information is simple. If the intermediate node receives a request to add a capability which is not currently in either of the two lists, the capability is added to the appropriate list, depending on the participation indicator. If a request is received to remove a capability that is currently in one of the two lists, then the capability is removed from that list. + +If the intermediate node receives a request to add a capability which is already in one of the two lists, the processing depends on the class and participation indicator of the capability. In the case of the MIN or MAX class, the class value in the state information is updated if different from that in the **Request**. In the case of a partial participation indicator, the associated value in the state information is updated if different. + +Finally, if the intermediate node ever receives a **Request** in which the V2NodePresent flag is present, the value of that flag is compared with the flag in the state information. If different, the state information is updated. + +#### 13.9.7.2 Processing the CapabilitiesNotificationRequest PDU + +An intermediate node may transmit a **Request** under the following conditions: + +- 1) The node receives a **Request** from a downward connection. +- 2) The node detects the loss of a V3 connection. +- 3) The node detects a direct connection/disconnection with a V2 node. + +The following subclauses describe how an intermediate node handles these conditions. + +##### 13.9.7.2.1 Global capabilities in the add list + +When an intermediate node receives a **Request** asking to add a global capability, the node examines its local copy of the summit capabilities list to determine if the requested capability is already in the list. The next action performed by the node depends on whether the capability is in the list. + +If the capability is not in the list, the intermediate node must determine if this was the first **Request** to come up from the connection. If so, this means the **Request** is from a newly-connected leaf node and no further action is required. Otherwise, it may be necessary to transmit a **Request** asking that the capability be added, depending on the state information of any downward connections. If the intermediate node is able to determine from its state information that the capability is now supported by every node in its subtree, then the **Request** is transmitted. This action could eventually result in the capability being added to the summit list. + +If the requested capability is in the list, this implies that every node in the summit supports the capability. Further processing depends on the class of the capability. If the capability is of class MIN, the intermediate node must determine if the associated value is the least of the values requested by every node in this subtree for that capability. Likewise, if the capability is of class MAX, the intermediate node must determine if the associated value is the greatest of the values requested by the other nodes. Should either of these two conditions be met, the intermediate node will transmit a **Request** upward, asking to add the capability with its associated value. This will serve to inform the superior node that there is a lesser MIN or greater MAX value down in its subtree for this specific capability. If the capability is of class NULL, no **Request** will be required. Finally, the intermediate node will generate an **Indication** to transmit to the lower node, notifying it to add the capability (and its associated value, if there is one) to its local copy of the summit capabilities list. + +When an intermediate node receives a **Request** from a newly-connected leaf node, the intermediate node may be required to take action due to global capabilities NOT requested by the leaf node. The + +first request from a leaf node contains a list of all global capabilities that node supports. If the intermediate node has global capabilities in its local copy of the summit list that are not requested by the leaf node, then the leaf node does not support those capabilities. By definition, these capabilities now become unavailable to the summit and must be removed from the summit list. At this point, the intermediate node generates a **Request** and places this capability in the RemoveList. This PDU is then transmitted upward, informing the superior node that the capability is no longer supported in this subtree. If the intermediate node has any other downward connections, it will generate an **Indication** to be transmitted downward. This **Indication** will contain the capability in the RemoveList. Finally, the intermediate node will remove the capability from its own copy of the summit capabilities list. + +##### 13.9.7.2.2 Global capabilities in the remove list + +If an intermediate node receives a **Request** asking that a global capability be removed, this implies that somewhere below the connection, a node has joined the summit that does not support the capability. This capability must now be made unavailable to the summit. The processing required here is straightforward. The node generates a **Request** asking that the capability be removed and transmits it upward. If other downward connections exist, the intermediate node generates an **Indication** asking that the capability be removed and transmits it to all downward connections (except the connection which originated the **Request**). The node then removes it from the local copy of the summit capabilities list. + +##### 13.9.7.2.3 Partial capabilities in the add list + +If an intermediate node receives a **Request** asking that a partial capability be added, the node must determine whether this is the first request, the second request, or greater than the second request for the capability. This can be determined from the intermediate node's state information. + +If this is the first request, the intermediate node will generate a **Request** asking that the capability be added. The value supplied with the partial participation indicator will be 1, signifying that only 1 request has been made for this capability in the subtree of the intermediate node. If it is the second request, the intermediate node will generate **Request** asking that this capability be added and a value of 2 will be supplied for the partial participation indicator. If the intermediate node determines that this capability has already been asked for at least twice, no **Request** is required. + +Next, the intermediate node must examine its local copy of the summit list to see if the capability is in the list. If so, the node will generate an **Indication** with the capability in the AddList component and transmit it to the requesting connection. + +The intermediate node must also take the class of the capability into account. This aspect of the processing is similar to that explained previously for global capabilities. If a capability comes in with the least MIN value in the subtree or the greatest MAX value in the subtree, then the superior node must be made aware of this via a **Request**. + +##### 13.9.7.2.4 Partial capabilities in the remove list + +When an intermediate node receives a **Request** asking that a partial capability be removed, the node must determine whether the removal would affect the number of requests for the capability in the subtree. If so, the intermediate node must generate a **Request** for that capability, asking that the capability be added with a partial participation indicator of 1, or ask that the capability be removed completely, depending on the change in status. + +If the intermediate node can determine the direct effect on the summit list, the node can adjust its own local copy of the list and generate **Indications** to notify the other downward connections. If the + +node cannot determine the effect, then any adjustment will eventually come down from a higher node which can determine the effect. + +##### 13.9.7.2.5 Processing the V2 node present flag + +In practice, although not required, an intermediate node will receive a **Request** which contains a V2NodePresent flag or a capabilities list (AddList and/or RemoveList), but usually not both. + +For each downward connection, an intermediate node keeps a status of whether a V2 node is connected to the summit below the connection. The first time an intermediate node learns that a V2 node has connected from below, including directly to the node itself, it will generate a **Request** containing only the V2NodePresent flag, which will be set. This **Request** will then be sent upward. Also, an **Indication** with the same contents will be sent to all downward connections, except for the connection which may have provided the original **Request**. In this manner, every node in the summit will learn of the existence of the V2 node. Each node can take this into account when deciding whether to exercise a given capability. + +By the same token, an intermediate node may receive a **Request** informing the node that all previous V2 connections have broken from the subtree. With each of these **Requests**, the intermediate node can determine whether any V2 nodes are now connected to its subtree. If others still exist, the intermediate node takes no action. If all V2 nodes disconnect, however, the intermediate node generates a **Request** with the V2NodePresent flag reset and sends it upward. + +If all the V2 nodes connected to the summit disconnect, the summit provider will detect this by seeing that none of the downward connections contains a V2 node in its subtree, and that there are no V2 nodes connected directly to the summit provider. When this occurs, the summit provider generates an **Indication** with the V2NodePresent flag reset and transmits it throughout the summit. + +##### 13.9.7.2.6 Processing V3 node disconnections + +When a given node in the summit detects that a downward connection has been broken, all state information for that connection is discarded. The state information for the remaining downward connections, if any, could affect the contents of the summit capabilities list. + +If any global capabilities are supported by every node in the summit except for one or more nodes below the lost connection, those capabilities can now be added to the summit list. If the number of requests for a partial capability in the summit drops below two as a result of losing nodes below the lost connection, those capabilities must be removed from the summit. The process to adapt to the lost connection begins with the node which detects that the connection is broken. The node handles this by treating the situation as if a **Request** has been received asking that every capability in the state information for that connection be removed. The connection would then process this in the manner as described in 13.9.7.2. + +#### 13.9.7.3 Processing the CapabilitiesNotificationIndication PDU + +At times, an intermediate node will receive an **Indication** from its upward connection. The indication will instruct the intermediate node to either add or remove capabilities from the summit list. These modifications will be made to the "local" summit list, and the indication will be forwarded to each downward connection. If this is the first **Indication** sent on a connection, the intermediate node will simply transmit the entire summit list via the AddList component of the **Indication**. If an intermediate node does not support a capability, the node must reset the flag which indicates intermediate node support. + +#### 13.9.7.4 Processing PDUs at the summit provider + +The manner in which the summit provider processes PDUs is nearly identical to that of an intermediate node. Upon receipt of a **Request** from a downward connection, the summit provider will update the state information for the associated connection the same as an intermediate node, as described in 13.9.7.1. The summit provider deals with global capabilities and partial capabilities identically to intermediate nodes, with the obvious exception that no **Requests** will be sent to a superior node. With each request to add or remove a capability, the summit provider decides whether the summit list is to be modified. If deemed so, the summit provider will generate an **Indication** filled in with the appropriate capabilities to add or subtract and transmit this PDU down appropriate connections. + +This protocol has been designed so that each node that determines that the summit capabilities list must change will initiate the change by notifying its downward connections, and by notifying its superior node. In this manner, the summit list will get update across the summit. + +If a node does not have enough information to determine whether a change to the summit list can be made, it will send a **Request** up to the next higher node, who may in turn be able to decide. All decisions of this matter can ultimately be resolved by the summit provider. + +## 13.10 Protocol version arbitration + +This Recommendation defines three protocol versions (see clause 9 for details). However, Recommendation T.120 specifies that version 1 is obsolete. A node can refuse to support version 1 by requiring version 2 (or higher) during connection establishment (if a remote node *only* supports version 1, the connection can be rejected). For nodes that wish to support version 1 for backward compatibility, it is suggested that no mixing of other protocol versions in the same domain be allowed [as per the rules of Recommendation T.125 (1994)]. + +Recommendation T.120 will be (or has been) modified to allow for versions 2 or 3. The protocol version number parameter of the domain parameters shall be used to negotiate the capability to source and sink version 3 PDUs. A node which implements version 3 must also be able to source and sink version 2 PDUs. + +The protocol version number parameter is negotiated independently for each connection (with one restriction, which is described below). Each version 3 node must maintain information regarding protocol versions selected by its upward and downward connections. Translation between versions must be provided for on any non-leaf node which implements version 3 of the protocol (this is discussed in detail in 13.11). + +A version 3 capable node that has negotiated the use of version 2 on its upward connection will *only* negotiate the use of version 2 on its downward connections. This has the effect of concentrating the use of version 3 at the top of the domain hierarchy (this area of version 3 usage is referred to as the "V3 Summit"). + +A version 3 capable node that has negotiated the use of version 3 on its upward connection will attempt to negotiate the use of version 3 on its downward connections (although version 2 will be accepted when necessary). + +## 13.11 Protocol version interoperability + +Translation from version 2 to version 3 is accomplished by copying the parameters from a version 2 PDU to an equivalent version 3 PDU. + +Translation from version 3 to version 2 is accomplished by copying the parameters from a version 3 PDU to an equivalent version 2 PDU. Version 3 parameters that do not correspond to valid version 2 parameters are discarded. Version 3 PDUs with no version 2 equivalent are also discarded. + +When a node receives a version 3 PDU that it does not recognize, the PDU is discarded (this is not an error). + +When a node receives a version 3 PDU that *does* recognize, the PDU is processed normally. If the PDU contains any parameters that the receiver does not recognize, they are simply ignored. If the PDU must be forwarded to another node using protocol version 3, all parameters are forwarded intact (including those that were not locally recognized). + +Considerations for using non-standard parameters in multi-protocol conferences: + +NOTE 1 – Prior to utilizing non-standard parameters, the implementer should ensure version 2 and version 3 nodes interoperate successfully. No information comprising a version 3 PDU in the form of a non-standard parameter, or as a standard parameter beyond the extension marker, can be delivered to a version 2 node via a version 2 PDU. Non-standard parameters are therefore only suitable for use for extensions whose absence will not effect basic operation at either V2 or V3 nodes (fail safe operation). The precise procedures to be used by an MCU or other intervening nodes should be thought about in detail to ensure successful interoperability. + +NOTE 2 – When using non-standard parameters, it must be kept in mind that such usage be an interim solution until equivalent functionality has been standardized. + +NOTE 3 – This Recommendation describes a mechanism for information exchange between nodes for the purpose of ascertaining non-standard capabilities available to a version 3 summit. Scalability aspects should be considered, it being likely that in larger conferences the probability will be decreased that any non-standard capabilities will be found to be in common. + +NOTE 4 – The processing cost of translating between V2 and V3 PDUs should be considered. Besides an MCU having to generate version 2 PDUs by dropping certain parameters from an equivalent version 3 PDU, as well as generating version 3 PDUs by generating parameters from an equivalent version 2 PDU, the cost of actually including non-standard parameters in PDUs is relatively high. The minimal encoding appears to be about 8 octets, excluding the size of any data passed in the parameter. This is equal to the MCS header of standard parameters in a data PDU and is an additional drain on bandwidth. Upon receipt of any non-standard parameter, a version 3 node must parse its key and then look up the manufacturer codes to determine its meaning, if known. This is a drain on processing power that should be minimized whenever possible. Procedures to be followed by nodes that do not understand non-standard parameters are specified in this subclause. + +# ANNEX A + +# **Multicast adaptation protocol** + +## **A.1 Scope** + +This Annex defines a protocol that allows multicast services to be used in a T.120 conference.

Data flows are uniquely identified by the following five fields: sender ID; channel ID; reliability level; priority; and data type. Each data flow has a separate sequence counter, and may be routed differently from every other data flow. + +**A.3.2 data type:** All MCS data PDUs are either non-uniform (source-ordered), uniform (globally-ordered); or proxy data (which is non-uniform data that is to be sent via multicast by the Multicast Group Provider on behalf of the originator). + +**A.3.3 MAP connection:** This is an MCS connection between two nodes through MAP. One MAP connection is, in turn, made up of one or more transport connections. There is no need for adjacent nodes to have common multicast protocols in order to make a MAP connection. + +**A.3.4 MCS connection:** This is a connection between two MCS providers that are adjacent in the domain hierarchy. This can be through MAP or directly through one of the protocol stacks defined in Recommendation T.123. + +**A.3.5 metachannel:** This is an MCS channel at a given reliability level and in a given priority range. MAP assigns multicast groups to metachannels. + +**A.3.6 multicast:** This refers to the ability to send a packet of data to more than one recipient with one operation. + +**A.3.7 multicast group:** This is a group of receivers that have expressed interest in receiving certain data via multicast. The group is uniquely identified by a Multicast Group Address. + +**A.3.8 multicast group address:** This is a network address that uniquely identifies a Multicast Group. Data sent to this address are delivered, via multicast, to all reachable nodes that have joined the Multicast Group. + +**A.3.9 multicast group provider:** This is a node that either has no upward MAP connection, or has an upward MAP connection, but no common multicast protocols with the node above. The Multicast Group Provider is responsible for associating metachannels with multicast groups.

Data flows across these connections, following the hierarchy of the domain, until it reaches all intended recipients. On networks that are capable of true multicast, this is extremely wasteful, since the same data is sometimes transmitted multiple times on the same physical device. This Annex describes a protocol which allows for the use of multicast data transfer in a T.120 conference. This protocol is referred to as the Multicast Adaptation Protocol (MAP). + +MAP is completely independent of the underlying network. It is insulated from the network by a transport protocol that meets the service requirements defined in 5.2. Some of the examples in this Annex reference protocols that are implemented on top of the Internet Protocol (IP), but MAP can also be used on other types of multicast networks, such as ATM multicast or Frame Relay multicast. + +To manage multicast, MAP needs to know about more than just unicast connections. MAP also needs to know about domains and channels. This information allows it to properly group unicast connections, and use multicast in the most efficient manner possible. Management of the domains and channels is still part of MCS, but this information is shared with MAP as needed. + +At a high level, the problem of using multicast in T.120 can be broken into the following three parts: + +- 1) *Allocation of multicast groups:* Before multicast can be used, someone must allocate a multicast group address that is not currently being used by anyone else on the reachable network. MAP determines which node allocates the address. How the allocation is done, however, is outside the scope of MAP (this is the focus of work in other standards groups). + +- 2) *Distribution of multicast groups*: Once a multicast group address is allocated, it is necessary to distribute it to those nodes that need to use it. MAP handles the distribution of multicast group addresses. +- 3) *Management of multicast data transfer*: It is not enough to simply send the address of a multicast group and tell everyone to start using it. There are many reasons why multicast may not work uniformly throughout the domain. It is therefore necessary to "test" the underlying network to see who can receive multicast data (and from whom). MAP performs this test and uses multicast wherever it can. If a given node cannot receive data via multicast for some reason, then data is delivered to that node via unicast. + +MAP also handles the dynamic selection of both unicast and multicast transport protocols. These protocols are arbitrated automatically between any two nodes that are communicating with MAP. Once these protocols are selected, MAP can facilitate the efficient delivery of data within the domain. MAP is a separate layer above these transport protocols. + +### A.5.1 The use of multicast + +MAP supports the transmission of data at two different reliability levels, which directly affects the use of multicast. Different reliability levels will typically use different transport protocols, and will therefore usually use different multicast groups. MAP may also use different multicast groups for different priority ranges (to allow different priorities to be independently flow controlled). This Annex uses the term *metachannel* to indicate an MCS channel at a given reliability level and within a given priority range. + +To enable the use of multicast, MAP assigns a multicast group to each metachannel in each multicast island (multicast islands are fully described in A.5.2). The only exception to this is User ID channels, which are not assigned multicast groups (there is only one potential receiver listening to a User ID channel, which violates the concept of multicast). + +MAP can exercise a great deal of flexibility in how it performs group assignments. It could, for example, assign the same multicast group to every metachannel (to minimize the number of multicast groups). Or it could assign a separate multicast group to each metachannel (to reflect the fact that each metachannel can have a different set of interested receivers). These group assignments are controlled by a set of policies that can adapt over time, as network technology evolves. + +When data is transmitted, MAP will use the channel, reliability level, and priority to select the appropriate multicast group. This allows the data to be delivered directly to the intended recipients, without propagating through the domain hierarchy (when multicast is working). + +### A.5.2 Multicast islands + +Multicast cannot always be used to deliver data to every node in a domain. Some nodes may be connected to the domain via networks that are not capable of multicast (such as PSTN or ISDN). It is also possible for two groups of multicast capable nodes to be separated in the domain hierarchy by a multicast incapable connection. It is therefore necessary to recognize the existence of "multicast islands" within a domain. + +A multicast island is a group of contiguous MAP connections within an MCS domain that have agreed to the use of a particular multicast transport protocol for a given metachannel. + +Figure A.5-1 depicts a conference of 10 nodes. Each of the connections making up the conference is labeled with the transport protocol(s) that the adjacent nodes have agreed to use for data transfer. "PSTN" and "ISDN" refer to the protocol stacks defined in Recommendation T.123. "TCP | MTP/SO" indicates a MAP connection that is using TCP for unicast transport, and MTP/SO for multicast transport (for a given metachannel). Nodes 1, 2, 4, and 5 are in multicast island A, + +while Nodes 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are in multicast island B. These islands are separate because the connection between Nodes 1 and 3 is PSTN (this connection cannot be used to convey multicast control information). + +![Figure A.5-1/T.125: Multicast islands split by non-multicast connections.

Unicast protocols are selected *per MCS connection*. The selected unicast protocols are used to transfer data between nodes that are adjacent in the MCS domain hierarchy. It is perfectly valid for different connections to use different unicast protocols. Multicast protocols are selected *per metachannel*. When mapping a metachannel to multicast, each MAP node will select the multicast protocols to be used by nodes beneath it. This selection process defines the boundaries of the multicast island *for that metachannel*. It is possible for multicast island boundaries to vary for different metachannels. + +As a rule, each node should select the multicast protocols that will result in fewer, larger multicast islands. When possible, each node should select the same multicast protocol that was selected for it by the node above. In Figure A.5-2, Nodes 6 and 7 must have indicated that they do not support RMP, or else Node 3 would have selected it. This split in the multicast islands is the result of support for different multicast transport protocols. + +This Annex refers to the unicast and multicast protocols collectively as *transport protocols*. Nodes that are adjacent in the MCS domain hierarchy will perform arbitration in order to agree on the set of transport protocols that can be used in the conference. During arbitration, the adjacent nodes *must* select a single reliable unicast protocol (and, optionally, a single unreliable unicast protocol). They will also agree on a set of zero or more multicast protocols that can be used at each reliability level. When mapping a metachannel to multicast, a node will only select multicast protocols that some downward nodes have agreed to support during arbitration. + +### A.5.3 Multicast group providers + +Within each multicast island, there is one node who is responsible for the allocation of multicast group addresses. This node is referred to as the Multicast Group Provider. + +The Multicast Group Provider is the node that either has no upward MAP connection, or has an upward MAP connection, but no common multicast protocols with the node above. The Top Provider for the domain may also be the Multicast Group Provider for a multicast island, but this is not necessary. In Figures A.5-1 and A.5-2, Node 1 is the Multicast Group Provider for multicast island A, while Node 3 is the Multicast Group Provider for multicast island B. + +### A.5.4 Data ordering + +MCS allows for two types of data ordering: non-uniform (source ordered); and uniform (globally ordered). + +Non-uniform data is normally sent to the multicast group at its initial "point-of-entry" to the multicast island. The point-of-entry is simply the node at which the data enters the multicast island. This is not the node at which the sending application is attached if that node is outside the multicast island. In Figure A.5-1, if Node 10 transmits data, Node 7 is the point-of-entry for multicast island B, while Node 1 is the point-of-entry for multicast island A. + +Optionally, a point-of-entry node can choose to use the Multicast Group Provider as a multicast proxy. When using this option, non-uniform data is first sent upward via unicast, where it is then sent to the multicast group by the Multicast Group Provider. This is discussed more in A.8.4. + +In order to guarantee global ordering, uniform data must be routed upward to the Top Provider via unicast. This data flow has an "upward" point-of-entry, but this is not an interesting concept, and will not be discussed further. The data are sent to the multicast group at the "downward" point-of-entry on its way back down (for uniform data, the downward point-of-entry will simply be referred to as the point-of-entry). In Figure A.5-1, if Node 10 transmits uniform data, it will first be unicast upward to the Top Provider. On the way back down, Node 1 is the point-of-entry for multicast island A, while Node 3 is the point-of-entry for multicast island B. For uniform data, the point-of-entry will *always* be the Multicast Group Provider for each multicast island. + +### A.5.5 Use of multicast and unreliable unicast + +All control data is sent over the reliable unicast connections. **MAPData** is the only MAPPDU ever transmitted via multicast or unreliable unicast.

It is not the intention of this subclause to exhaustively describe the interactions between MCS and MAP. Rather, this subclause describes how MCS behaves differently than when using a unicast-only protocol stack (such as those currently defined in Recommendation T.123). + +To completely describe the differences in how MCS deals with MAP, it is useful to break T.125 into its four functional units: domain management; channel management; data transfer; and token management. Each of these units is described briefly below. + +### A.6.1 Domain management + +When making a connection to a remote MCS Provider using a unicast-only protocol stack, MCS creates one Transport Connection (TC) for each data transfer priority (the number of priorities is arbitrated as part of the domain parameters). Control MCSPDUs are always sent on the TC with the highest priority. Data MCSPDUs can be sent on all TCs (which one depends on priority). + +When making a connection to a remote MCS Provider using MAP, MCS creates only a single MAP Connection (MC), regardless of the number of data transfer priorities. Control MCSPDUs are sent on this MC. Data MCSPDUs are not actually sent on *any* MC, but are passed off to MAP as a whole (this is discussed in the subclause on Data Transfer). + +The Connect MCSPDUs perform the same role of initializing a new MCS connection, and arbitrating the domain parameters. **Connect-Initial** is sent by the calling MCS as the first MCSPDU over a new + +MC. **Connect-Response** is the first MCSPDU sent by the called MCS in reverse over a new MC. Since there is only one MC per MCS connection, there is no need for **Connect-Additional** and **Connect-Result**. + +For MAP to properly perform its routing duties, MCS must share some information regarding all newly-created connections. This includes: what domain the connection is bound to; whether it is an upward or downward connection; and what MCS protocol version will be used on the connection. Furthermore, when MCS binds the first MC to a domain, it must share with MAP how many priorities and reliability levels are to be used in the domain. + +All Domain MCSPDUs that deal with domain management are sent over an MC in exactly the same way they are sent over a TC when using a unicast protocol stack. + +### A.6.2 Channel management + +All Domain MCSPDUs that deal with channel management are sent over an MC in exactly the same way they are sent over a TC when using a unicast protocol stack. + +For MAP to be able to multicast data on behalf of MCS, it must know about channels (so that it knows where to send the data). MCS must share the following information with MAP: + +- 1) For each active channel, MAP must know which domain the channel is associated with, and what type of channel it is. +- 2) For each active channel, MAP must know which MCs lead to joined users. +- 3) For each active channel, MAP must know if MCS needs to receive the data. MCS will need the data if it must redirect it to a locally-attached user application or a different protocol stack. + +Static channels are considered active if there is at least one joined user application in the subtree of the local node. Dynamic channels are considered active as soon as they are allocated. + +### A.6.3 Data transfer + +The most significant difference in using MAP lies in the handling of data transfer. When using a unicast-only protocol stack, MCS assumes all responsibility for redirecting data to TCs that lead to interested users. When using MAP, much of this responsibility is delegated to MAP. + +MCS typically sends a given data MCSPDU to MAP only once, no matter how many nodes need to receive it. The only exception to this occurs if MCS has arbitrated a different protocol version for some of the MCs that are bound to the domain. MCS must send the data MCSPDU properly encoded for each active protocol version. MAP will see to it that everyone who needs the data will get it. + +When MCS receives data from MAP, there is no need for MCS to redirect the data back to MAP (unless there are multiple protocol versions in use, requiring MCS to perform version translation). + +When passing data to MAP, MCS uniquely identifies the target set of receivers by specifying a domain identifier, an MCS protocol version, and a data flow identifier. This is enough information since MAP already knows which MCs are bound to the domain, and which protocol version is in use on each. MAP can then use the data flow identifier to properly route the data via unicast and/or multicast. Note that the data flow identifier also communicates the relative priority of the data to MAP. This priority will always be 0 to $N-1$ , with 0 being the highest priority ( $N$ is the number of priorities that MCS indicated are to be used in the domain). No priority translation between MCS and MAP is required. + +Consider Figure A.6-1, which shows a conference consisting of four nodes. Two of the three connections making up the conference are MCs. The third connection, binding Node 3 to Node 2, is a TC through the PSTN protocol stack defined in Recommendation T.123. It is useful to examine + +how the MCS at Node 2 reacts to data sourced from each of the four nodes. For this example, assume that non-uniform data is sent on a channel for which there are joined users at every node. Note that this example only discusses the handling of data at Node 2. + +- 1) When data originates on Node 1, it is received by MAP on Node 2. It is then passed to MCS who, in turn, sends the data to the TC that leads to Node 3. MCS will NOT send the data back to MAP. +- 2) When data originates on Node 2, MCS sends the data to the TC that leads to Node 3. It also sends the data to MAP (once). +- 3) When data originates on Node 3, it is passed to MCS on Node 2 by the PSTN protocol stack. MCS then passes the data to MAP (once). +- 4) When data originates on Node 4, it is received by MAP on Node 2. It is then passed to MCS who, in turn, sends the data to the TC that leads to Node 3. MCS will NOT send the data back to MAP. + +![Diagram of a 4-way conference setup showing Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, and Node 4 with their interconnections.](3d1817e8551f9c226a5f561108d3b3f9_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph TD + Node1[Node 1] + Node2[Node 2] + Node3[Node 3] + Node4[Node 4] + Node2 -- MC --> Node1 + Node3 -- TC --> Node2 + Node4 -- MC --> Node2 + +``` + +The diagram illustrates a 4-way conference setup.

The diagram is labeled T1600700-97. + +Diagram of a 4-way conference setup showing Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, and Node 4 with their interconnections. + +**Figure A.6-1/T.125 – Sample 4-way conference** + +As this example illustrates, MCS trusts MAP to perform the routing for all MCs that are logically grouped (by domain and protocol version). This delegation is necessary, since only MAP knows when multicast is actually being used, and whether or not it is working. The abstraction presented to MCS is that multicast is *always* working. + +#### **A.6.3.1 Differing protocol versions** + +As mentioned above, it is necessary to differentiate data PDUs based on protocol version. This is simply because the format of the data PDUs is different. If half of the MCs in a domain are using one protocol version, while the other half are using a different one, then MCS must perform a translation on any data passing between the two groups. This requirement creates the only case where MCS may need to redirect data back to the same MAP protocol stack from which it came (after translation, of course). + +#### **A.6.3.2 Uniform data handling** + +Because of the global ordering requirement, it is necessary to treat uniform data a little differently than non-uniform data. MAP can determine whether a PDU is uniform or not by examining the data flow identifier. + +When MAP receives a uniform data PDU from MCS, it will check to see if there is an upward MC for the specified domain and protocol version. If so, MAP will send the PDU upward via unicast + +(since it must be a request). If there is no upward MC for the specified domain and protocol version, MAP will send the PDU downward to all joined recipients (via multicast, if possible). + +When MAP receives a uniform data PDU from a downward MC, it will check to see if there is an upward MC for the same domain and protocol version. If so, MAP will forward the PDU upward via unicast (the PDU will NOT be sent to MCS). If there is no upward MC for the same domain and protocol version, MAP will send the PDU to MCS. + +When MAP receives a uniform data PDU via multicast or from the upward MC, the PDU will be sent to MCS (if necessary), as well as being forwarded downward to those nodes not receiving data via multicast. + +#### **A.6.3.3 Request vs. indication** + +When sending non-uniform data via MAP, it is possible for the data to arrive at nodes both above AND below the current node. For this reason, it is necessary to specify whether MCS should identify such data PDUs as requests or indications. + +If the upward connection is an MC using the same MCS protocol version, then the PDU sent to MAP should be a request. Otherwise, it should be an indication. In other words, data that will ONLY flow downward is an indication, while data that flows upward is a request (even if it also flows downward). + +This creates the situation that it is possible for a node to receive a **Send-Data-Request** from a node that is hierarchically above it. MCS needs to recognize that this is not an error condition when the data comes from MAP, by treating the PDU as if it was properly oriented. + +Note that this situation does not exist for uniform data, since the requests are unicast upward first. Uniform data will only be multicast from the top, which guarantees that all receivers are getting an indication from a node that is hierarchically above them. + +#### **A.6.3.4 Proxy data** + +When sending non-uniform data, MAP can either multicast the data at the point-of-entry, or it can decide to use a multicast proxy. How the point-of-entry node makes this decision is beyond the scope of this Annex. + +Multicasting through a proxy simply means that the data is unicast upward until it reaches the Multicast Group Provider, who then multicasts it downward. This is similar to the handling of uniform data, except that the data do not have to go all the way up to the Top Provider before beginning its downward journey (it only has to go to the Multicast Group Provider). This technique can be used to reduce data flow state information in very large conferences. It can also be used to allow data to be multicast when the point-of-entry node cannot itself transmit via multicast. + +The use of proxy data is transparent to MCS. To MCS, it just looks like non-uniform data. + +### **A.6.4 Token management** + +All Domain MCSPDUs that deal with token management are sent over an MC in exactly the same way they are sent over a TC when using a unicast protocol stack. + +## **A.7 Use of transport protocols** + +This subclause describes the services that MAP expects to receive from the transport protocols. + +### A.7.1 Unicast transport protocols + +The services required from the unicast protocols are a subset of those defined in Recommendation X.214. MAP does not use exactly the same parameters described in Recommendation X.214, nor does it make use of expedited data. This subclause discusses the services that MAP *does* use. + +During connection establishment, MAP will create one or more unicast connections to the adjacent node. These connections are used to carry both control data and user data. If more than one connection is made, they are of varying priorities, allowing MAP to indicate to the transport protocol the relative importance of a given MAPPDU. + +For the reliable unicast protocols, MAP assumes that the service is error-free and ordered. Neither of these assumptions is made for the unreliable unicast protocols. + +MAP also assumes that all reliable unicast protocols are capable of segmenting MAPPDUs that are too large to transmit as a single unit. These MAPPDUs should be re-assembled on the receive side before they are sent to MAP. To prevent the need to handle arbitrarily large MAPPDUs, it is suggested that a limit of 16 384 bytes be placed on MAP. MAP must ensure that no MAPPDUs exceed this size. + +For reliable unicast, MAP assumes a "connection-oriented" service. This implies that both sides of the connection are aware of the other, and that some protocol was involved in the connection establishment process. This further implies that both nodes are maintaining state information about the connection between them, and can automatically sense packet loss and other network problems. When creating a reliable unicast connection, MAP participates by sending protocol of its own (after the transport protocol indicates that it is okay to do so). + +For unreliable unicast, MAP assumes a "connection-less" service. This simply means that MAP makes no assumptions about the service that is provided. It does not assume that data will be ordered. It does not assume that packet loss, or any other network problems, will be detected. + +The unicast primitives utilized by MAP are summarized in Table A.7-1. + +**Table A.7-1/T.125 – Unicast transport protocol service definition** + +| Primitive | Parameters | Reliable | Unreliable | +|-------------------------|------------------------------------------------|----------|------------| +| T-Connect request | Called address,

If the remote node can be found, a *T-Connect indication* is delivered to MAP on that node. MAP will ordinarily accept the connection by invoking *T-Connect response*. This in turn results in a *T-Connect confirm* at the calling node. Once this process is complete, the connection is ready and MAP will continue with its portion of connection establishment. + +##### Parameter definitions + +*Called Address*: This is the network address of the node to be called. + +*Calling Address*: This is the network address of the node placing the call. + +*Priority*: This field is used to specify the priority of this connection (relative to all other connections). The permissible range is 0 through 15, with 0 being the highest priority. + +#### A.7.1.2 T-Data + +The *T-Data* primitives are used to transfer MAPPDUs to the remote node via reliable unicast. + +When MAP wants to send a MAPDU via reliable unicast, it will invoke *T-Data request*.

This will eventually cause zero or more *T-Unit-Data indications* at the remote node. The order of the requests may not match the order of the indications. Furthermore, there may not be a one-to-one correspondence between requests and indications (some requests may never result in an indication, while other requests may result in multiple indications). + +##### Parameter definitions + +*Destination Address*: This is the network address of the node that is to receive the data. + +*Source Address*: This is the network address of the node that originated the data. + +*Priority*: This field is used to specify the priority of this MAPDU (relative to all other MAPPDUs). The permissible range is 0 through 15, with 0 being the highest priority. + +*User Data*: This is a variable length octet string. It is used to carry MAPPDUs. + +#### A.7.1.4 T-Disconnect + +The *T-Disconnect* primitives are used to shut down existing reliable unicast connections. + +One side will typically invoke *T-Disconnect request*, which breaks the connection and causes the other side to receive a *T-Disconnect indication*. However, if the connection is dropped because of network problems, both sides will receive a *T-Disconnect indication*. + +##### Parameter definition + +*Reason*: This contains the reason why a connection was dropped. This is one of: user initiated; provider initiated; or unspecified failure. + +### A.7.2 Multicast transport protocols + +This subclause describes the services required by MAP to perform multicast group management. This includes joining a multicast group prior to data flow, transmission and reception of data via multicast, and leaving a group when multicast services are no longer required. + +All data flow in a multicast island is initially unicast. In response to the flow of data, MAP will allocate and distribute multicast group addresses, to be used in optimizing network traffic. At each node in the island, MAP will decide if it is necessary for that node to join an assigned group. If it is, it will call upon the multicast protocols to perform this service. + +When MAP decides to join a multicast group, it can specify one of three modes: transmit-only; receive-only; or transmit/receive. Some multicast protocols may be able to optimize their behavior by knowing which combination is required, so this information is passed to them during a group join operation. + +For reliable multicast, MAP assumes the service is error-free, possibly after an indeterminate loss of the initial data from each transmitter. This assumption is not made for unreliable multicast. + +MAP never assumes that multicast data will be ordered. For reliable multicast, however, MAP does assume that all gaps caused by out-of-order data will be filled. If a new node begins transmitting to a multicast group, the reliable multicast protocol should *not* begin forwarding that data to MAP until reception from that node has stabilized (i.e. all gaps in reception will be filled). This means that the received data stream may begin after different initial losses at different receivers. + +It is not necessary for the multicast protocols to support segmentation. This is because **MAPData** is the only MAPDU ever sent via multicast, and it will be segmented to the proper size by MAP before being sent to the multicast protocol. + +The multicast primitives utilized by MAP are summarized in Table A.7-2. + +**Table A.7-2/T.125 – Multicast transport protocol service definition** + +| Primitive | Parameters | +|-----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| +| MT-Join request

MT-Data indication | User data | +| MT-Leave request
MT-Leave indication | Reason | + +#### A.7.2.1 MT-Join + +The *MT-Join* primitives are used to join a multicast group. + +There are flags in the *MT-Join request* that allow MAP to specify whether it intends to transmit, receive, or both. The state of these flags can be changed by issuing additional *MT-Join requests*, with no need to invoke *MT-Leave request*. + +The *MT-Join confirm* tells MAP whether or not the pending *MT-Join request* was successful. + +##### Parameter definitions + +*Multicast Group Address*: This is the address of the multicast group to be joined. A NULL value indicates that the transport protocol should create a new group, and return the address to MAP for distribution. + +*Priority*: This field is used to specify the priority of this group (relative to all other groups). The permissible range is 0 through 15, with 0 being the highest priority. + +*TX/RX Flags*: These flags allow MAP to tell the multicast protocol which of three modes it requires: transmit-only; receive-only; or transmit/receive. + +#### A.7.2.2 MT-Data + +The *MT-Data* primitives are used to transfer MAPPDUs to all nodes in the group via multicast. + +These primitives work the same way for both reliable and unreliable protocols. When MAP wants to send a MAPPDU via multicast, it will invoke *MT-Data request*. This will eventually cause a *MT-Data indication* at all remote nodes that need to receive the data. The order of the requests may not match the order of the indications. For unreliable multicast, there may not be a one-to-one correspondence between requests and indications (some requests may never result in an indication, while other requests may result in multiple indications). + +##### Parameter definition + +*User Data*: This is a variable length octet string. It is used to carry MAPPDUs. + +#### A.7.2.3 MT-Leave + +The *MT-Leave* primitives are used to leave a multicast group. *MT-Leave indication* is used to tell MAP that its membership in the group was prematurely terminated. + +When MAP decides that it no longer needs to transmit *or* receive data on a given multicast group, it will invoke *MT-Leave request*. The multicast protocol should immediately stop forwarding data from the group to MAP. There is no confirm for this primitive. + +*MT-Leave indication* only occurs if the multicast protocol needs to tell MAP that it is no longer joined (even though MAP did not request a leave). This indication is *not* caused by other nodes leaving a group. + +##### Parameter definition + +*Reason*: This contains the reason why the multicast group was left. This is one of: provider initiated; or unspecified failure. + +### A.7.3 Local information + +For MAP to handle many transport protocols simultaneously, with no prior knowledge of their capabilities, there will have to be local configuration information. Each transport protocol is described to MAP in a generic fashion. This information is used by MAP during the transport protocol arbitration process, and includes the following parameters: + +- *Transport Protocol ID*: This is used to uniquely identify the transport protocol during the protocol arbitration process. +- *Transport Protocol Type*: Each transport protocol must be identified as one of the following: reliable unicast; unreliable unicast; reliable multicast; or unreliable multicast. +- *Preference Weighting*: This relative weighting is used to determine which transport protocols are preferred over others. +- *Maximum Number of Connections*: This is only relevant for unicast protocols. This is the maximum number of connections that the unicast protocol recommends *per MAP connection*. +- *Maximum Payload Size*: This is the maximum payload size that the transport protocol can handle. Note that for reliable unicast, the transport protocol *must* be able to handle up to + +16 384 bytes (with segmentation, if necessary), so this is just a recommended maximum size. + +- *Configuration Data:* When MAP is ready to arbitrate protocols with a remote node, it gets a block of configuration data from each candidate protocol (which can be NULL). This information is passed to the remote node during protocol arbitration, where it is passed to the equivalent protocol on that node (if it exists). MAP on the called node then gets the configuration data to be returned from its local stack, in order to complete the protocol arbitration process. This configuration data should be separately retrieved for each MAP connection that is arbitrated. + +The information contained in the configuration data block is separately defined for each transport protocol. The format of these blocks can either be standardized (along with transport protocol profiles), or can be proprietary. An example of how it might be used would be to communicate a dynamic IP port number back to the caller. + +## A.8 Protocol specification + +This subclause contains a step-by-step description of how MAP works, which includes several PDU timing diagrams.

The connection is made using the protocol specified by MCS, or the default protocol for the network (if no protocol is specified). This connection is used to transmit all control PDUs (both MCS and MAP). The first MAPDU sent across the new connection by the calling node is **MAPConnectRequest**. This MAPDU contains the following fields: + +- A protocol version number identifying which version of MAP the calling node wishes to use. +- A MAP Service Access Point (MAPSAP) identifying who on the called node should accept the call (this is specified by MCS as part of the network address). +- A Domain Reference ID that can bind this connection to a particular domain (for the initial connection this field is set to zero). + +- Low and high priority values that indicate the range of priorities to be sent on this connection (for the initial connection these fields will both be set to zero). + +If the called node wishes to accept the call, it will transmit a **MAPConnectConfirm** back to the calling node. This MAP PDU contains the following fields: + +- A protocol version number identifying which version of MAP *will* be used (this must be less than or equal to the value specified by the caller). +- The MAPSAP on the called node that actually accepted the incoming connection. + +If the called node does not wish to accept the incoming call, it will transmit a **MAPDisconnectRequest** back to the calling node. This MAP PDU contains the reason for the rejection. It also contains a field indicating that no confirm is required, so the connection is dropped immediately. + +Figure A.8-2 contains a timing diagram that shows a successful call set-up. + +![Timing diagram showing a successful call set-up between Node 1 and Node 2.

A reference number T1602530-97 is at the bottom right. + +**Figure A.8-2/T.125 – Timing of the connect MAP PDUs** + +### A.8.2 Arbitrating transport protocols + +Once the initial reliable unicast connection is established, MCS will proceed with its connection set-up. When MCS has completed its set-up, it will pass the following information to MAP: what domain the connection is bound to; what protocol version MCS will be using on the connection; and how many priorities and reliability levels will be used in the domain (this is provided to MAP when the domain parameters are first locked). Once MAP has this information, it can proceed with the process of transport protocol arbitration. + +The calling node will issue a **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** that contains a list of the transport protocols that it is willing to use (both unicast and multicast). As a minimum, this list will include the reliable unicast protocol used to create the existing connection. Support for other transport protocols is optional. After comparing this list to its own capabilities, the called node will respond with a **MAPArbitrateProtocolsConfirm** that indicates which protocols are to be used. + +If no unreliable protocols are selected, then unreliable data is sent using the reliable protocols (for unicast, unreliable data is sent through the same connections as reliable data). If MCS has indicated that there will be no unreliable data in the domain, then it is unnecessary to include unreliable protocols in either of the arbitration MAP PDUs. If no multicast protocols are selected, then all data is sent via unicast (between these two nodes). + +The confirm will always include exactly one reliable unicast protocol. It will optionally include one unreliable unicast protocol. For multicast, it will include all protocols that both nodes have agreed can be used (there can be more than one for each reliability level). + +For the reliable unicast protocol, the nodes also arbitrate the number of transport connections that will make up this one MAP connection. If there is more than one transport connection, then unicast data is split between them according to priority. It is perfectly okay for different MAP connections to + +be made up of differing numbers of transport connections, even in the same multicast island. The process of creating additional transport connections is detailed in the next subclauses. + +The arbitration MAPPDUs also contain a Domain Reference ID. This value is later used by the sender to indicate which domain a MAPPDU is associated with, in the case that the domain cannot be implicitly inferred. Specifically, this value is used when creating additional reliable unicast connections, and when transmitting unreliable data. + +Any node can force a re-arbitration of transport protocols with a neighboring node simply by issuing a **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest**. To ensure that no connections are lost, however, it is required that the previously selected reliable unicast protocol be available in the protocol menu. If the re-arbitration results in a change to the unicast protocols, it is necessary to make the transition immediately (this process is detailed in a later subclause). Changes to the set of multicast protocols have no direct effect on existing multicast groups. These changes are reflected only in subsequent group allocations (this process is detailed in the subclause on allocating and distributing multicast groups, see A.8.3). + +It is possible for adjacent nodes to encounter an "arbitration collision". This occurs when both nodes issue a **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** at the same time. This situation is detectable at both nodes because they will both receive an arbitration request when they were expecting a confirm. When this occurs, the request from the downward node is ignored (and the downward node stops waiting for a confirm). The request from the upward node is processed normally. + +Figure A.8-3 illustrates the arbitration process when Node 2 calls Node 1. + +![Sequence diagram showing the timing of arbitration MAPPDUs between Node 1 and Node 2.

If they decide to use more than one, then it is necessary to create the additional connections. This subclause uses the term *connection* to refer to a reliable unicast connection. + +This process is initiated by the calling node, who calls upon the selected reliable unicast protocol to create the appropriate number of additional connections. As each connection becomes ready for use, the calling node will issue a **MAPConnectRequest** over it. This MAPPDU will contain the following fields: + +- The protocol version number is the same one already selected for the initial connection. +- The MAPSAP is the same one used to create the initial connection. +- The Domain Reference ID is the one that was sent in the **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** on the initial connection. +- The low and high priority values will indicate the range of priorities that will be sent over this connection (the required priorities, as specified by MCS, are typically spread out evenly over the number of connections). + +The called node should accept each of the additional connections by issuing a **MAPConnectConfirm** over each one. This MAPDU will contain an exact copy of the first two fields of the request above. + +It is a protocol error to refuse one of the additional connections. If one of the two nodes cannot create the agreed upon number of connections, then *all* connections corresponding to this MAP connection must be shut down, severing the lower node from the domain. + +It is important that all required priorities be mapped to a connection when this process completes. As each additional connection is brought up, it is mapped to a range of priorities. All required priorities that are not explicitly mapped to an additional connection are handled by the initial connection. These leftover priorities *must* be contiguous with priority zero (which is already mapped to the initial connection). + +#### A.8.2.2 Changing reliable unicast connections + +After a protocol re-arbitration has occurred, it may be necessary for two nodes to dynamically switch to a different set of reliable unicast connections. This will occur if any of the following conditions exist: the nodes have chosen to switch to a different reliable unicast protocol; the nodes have chosen to use a different number of transport connections; the nodes have elected to change the maximum payload size of the reliable unicast connections (this cannot be done while multicast groups are still active); or the nodes have exchanged new configuration data for the reliable unicast protocol. Note that a dynamic transition cannot occur until the set-up of the previous set of reliable unicast connections is complete. + +To dynamically transition to a different set of connections, it is necessary to perform the following steps: + +- 1) The initiator of the arbitration must create the agreed upon number of new connections to the remote node using the selected protocol. This node will now be referred to as the "calling node". +- 2) The calling node will issue a **MAPConnectRequest** on each new connection as it becomes ready. This MAPDU will contain the following fields: + - The protocol version number is the same one already selected for the previous connections. + - The MAPSAP is the same one used to create the previous connections. + - The Domain Reference ID is the one that was sent in the **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** on the previous initial connection. + - The low and high priority values will indicate the range of priorities that will be sent over this connection (the required priorities, as specified by MCS, are typically spread out evenly over the number of connections). +- 3) The called node will respond by sending a **MAPConnectConfirm** on each new connection when the request is received. The protocol version number and the MAPSAP is set the same as in the request. +- 4) As each confirm is received, the calling node will keep track of which new connections are ready for use. By comparing the priority range of the previous connections with the priority range of the confirmed new connections, the calling node can determine when a previous connection can be shut down (because all of its priorities are covered by new connections). When this occurs, the calling node will issue a **MAPDisconnectRequest** to the previous connection. At this point, the calling node will begin sending all reliable unicast traffic in the priority range of the previous connection on the appropriate new connection(s). + +- 5) Upon receiving a disconnect request, the called node will issue a **MAPDisconnectConfirm** on the previous connection. At this point, the called node will begin sending all reliable unicast traffic in the priority range of the previous connection on the appropriate new connection(s). The called node must also keep track of which previous connections have been disconnected. By comparing the priority range of the new connections with the priority range of the previous connections, the called node can determine when it is safe to begin processing data received from a new connection (this occurs when all previous connections that carried data in the priority range of the new connection have been disconnected). +- 6) When the calling node receives a disconnect confirm, it can be assumed that all pending data on the previous connection has been flushed, and that connection can be shut down. By comparing the priority range of the new connections with the priority range of the previous connections, the calling node can determine when it is safe to begin processing data received from a new connection (this occurs when all previous connections that carried data in the priority range of the new connection have been disconnected). + +### A.8.3 Allocating and distributing multicast groups + +Once a set of transport protocols have been arbitrated, MAP can begin allocating and distributing multicast group addresses. In order to minimize the number of active multicast groups, MAP should not assign a multicast group address to a metachannel until data traffic is detected that could use the group. No data will be lost, since all data is initially transmitted via unicast. + +When MAP detects data flow for which there is no multicast group, a multicast group address may be assigned. This process begins at each node in the domain that either has no upward MAP connection, or has an upward MAP connection but no common multicast protocols with the node above. These nodes become Multicast Group Providers. They will examine the lists of multicast protocols supported by the nodes below them, and attempt to choose the protocol(s) that will result in the fewest number of multicast islands. Ideally, it will be possible to select a single protocol that is supported by *all* downward nodes (allowing everyone below to be in the same multicast island). + +Once a multicast protocol is selected for each downward node, MAP will obtain a multicast group address for each different protocol to be used. Depending on a local set of policies, the group address to be assigned may already be in use for another metachannel, or it may be newly allocated. How this allocation is performed is outside the scope of this protocol. Once a multicast group address is decided upon, it is propagated downward using **MAPAddGroupRequest**. + +**MAPAddGroupRequest** tells the recipient what channel, reliability level, and priority range the assignment corresponds to. It also tells the recipient which multicast protocol and group address to use. As described in a previous subclause, the act of selecting multicast protocols for the downward nodes results in the definition of multicast island boundaries. All nodes that are told to use the same multicast protocol and group address are, by definition, in the same multicast island. + +When a node receives a **MAPAddGroupRequest**, it will add the group to its list of active multicast groups. If it has any downward MAP connections, then it must select a multicast protocol for each downward node. If possible, it should use the same protocol that was selected for it by the node above. If this is not possible for some downward nodes, then it should try to select protocols that will result in the fewest, largest multicast islands. Once the selections are made, the node will obtain a multicast group address for each different protocol to be used, and propagate the information downward using **MAPAddGroupRequest**. + +The process of propagating multicast group information downward is depicted in Figure A.8-4. + +![Sequence diagram showing the timing of the add group procedure across four nodes.

It is not acceptable, however, for the nodes to assume that multicast is working immediately. There are many things that can cause multicast to fail. First of all, not all networks support multicast. This can result in multicast data not reaching one or more nodes in the multicast island. Even if the network does support multicast, other factors, such as Time-To-Live (TTL), can cause multicast data to fall short of its destination. + +For these reasons, among others, MAP employs a self-tuning strategy that allows it to depend on multicast only when multicast is working. This strategy works by sending all data via both unicast AND multicast, and then dynamically turning off unicast on those connections that lead to nodes who are successfully receiving the data via multicast. + +Unicast data within a multicast island is controlled independently for each "data flow". A data flow is uniquely identified by the following five fields: sender ID; channel ID; reliability level; priority; and data type. By default, all data are sent via unicast to all nodes in the multicast island that need to receive it. The data are also sent to the multicast group by a single node in the multicast island (the multicast sender). When a node detects that it is receiving a given data flow via multicast, it will send a **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** to its neighboring node in the direction of the multicast sender. This will cause the neighboring node to stop forwarding that data flow via unicast. + +The identity of the multicast sender for a given data flow is determined by the data type, as follows: + +- For non-uniform data, the multicast sender is simply the data flow's original point-of-entry node. +- For uniform data, all data are unicast upward to the Top Provider before being eligible for multicast. The data are sent to the multicast group by the Multicast Group Provider on its way back down (the multicast sender is *always* the Multicast Group Provider). When sending a **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** for uniform data, it is always sent upward. Furthermore, sender ID shall be ignored when uniquely identifying uniform data flows. +- For proxy data, all data are unicast upward to the Multicast Group Provider. The Multicast Group Provider will forward the data upward via unicast (if necessary), while simultaneously sending the data back downward (via both unicast and multicast). As with uniform data, the multicast sender is *always* the Multicast Group Provider. When sending a **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** for proxy data, it is always sent upward. Furthermore, sender ID shall be ignored when uniquely identifying proxy data flows. + +The proxy data type provides an alternative way of sending non-uniform data. Proxy data **cannot** be used to transmit uniform data. Using proxy data reduces the amount of data flow state information, since all proxy data senders for a given channel ID/reliability level/priority are merged into one data flow. Proxy data is also useful on networks that do not allow nodes to originate multicast information. Knowing when to use proxy data is a local implementation issue. However, once a node + +begins sending proxy data for a given sender ID/channel ID/reliability level/priority, it cannot later decide to use the non-uniform data type (the reverse is also true). The decision to use proxy data is strictly local, and different nodes may handle local senders differently. + +There is one other important consideration when using proxy data. Each node on the path from the originator to the Multicast Group Provider will see the data twice (once on its way up, and again on its way back down). These nodes should only send the data to MCS once. It does not matter whether this is done as the data flows up, or as it comes back down (but it should be done consistently). Furthermore, the originating node should *never* forward the data back to the user attachment that sent it. + +Before a node tells its neighbor to disable unicast for a data flow, it must be certain that it can transition to multicast with no data loss. To ensure this, it must receive at least one data packet via unicast, so that it knows what the next sequence number should be (note that sequence numbers are unique to each data flow, and are assigned by the originator of the data flow). Either before or after receiving this unicast packet, the node must receive a data packet via multicast with a sequence number that is less than or equal to the next expected sequence number. This indicates an overlap in the two data streams, allowing unicast to be disabled. + +When data is first transmitted on a new data flow, it is sent via unicast AND multicast throughout the island. Overtime unicast is disabled wherever possible, resulting in optimal network traffic. + +Figure A.8-5 shows an example of this self-tuning strategy (refer back to Figure A.8-1 for domain hierarchy). This example tracks the transmission of three data packets from a previously unknown data flow, as follows: + +- 1) A user application attached to Node 1 transmits a data packet. Node 1 transmits the data to the multicast group. It also transmits the data to Node 2 via unicast, since Node 2 has not yet disabled unicast for this data flow. Node 4 has not yet finished joining the group, so the multicast data packet only arrives at Nodes 2 and 3. Nodes 2 and 3 will hold the data since they do not yet know what sequence number is valid. When Node 2 receives the data via unicast, it redirects the data to Nodes 3 and 4 (via unicast). Nodes 2 and 3 now recognize that the multicast packet is the same as the unicast packet, so they each issue a **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** in the direction of the sender. +- 2) The user application at Node 1 transmits another data packet on the same data flow. As before, Node 1 transmits the data to the multicast group. This time Node 1 does *not* transmit the packet to Node 2 via unicast, since Node 2 has already disabled unicast for this data flow. This time the multicast transmission arrives at all three downstream nodes (including Node 4). Node 2 transmits the data via unicast to Node 4, but not to Node 3 (since Node 3 has disabled unicast for this data flow). Node 4 now knows that it is synchronized to the multicast data stream, so it issues a **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** upward. +- 3) The user application at Node 1 transmits a third data packet on the same data flow. As before, Node 1 transmits the data to the multicast group. This time, however, no one will unicast the data, since all nodes in the island have disabled unicast for this data flow. + +![Sequence diagram showing the timing of the disable unicast procedure for a given data flow across four nodes (Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, Node 4). The diagram illustrates the flow of MAPData (1), MAPData (2), and MAPData (3) via unicast and multicast, and the subsequent MAPDisableUnicastRequest messages sent from nodes that received multicast data back to the source node (Node 1).](ea40403ee09ad7bcb209382495f36547_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the timing of the disable unicast procedure across four nodes (Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, Node 4).

This subclause discusses what a node can do to optimize its transmissions in the case that multicast does not seem to be working. + +When a node first begins transmitting data for a non-uniform data flow, it will do so via both unicast and multicast. If the adjacent nodes receive the multicast data, they will disable the unicast transmissions as described in the previous subclause. If the adjacent nodes do not receive the data via multicast, this disabling of unicast will never occur. This could leave the sending node in the position of transmitting every data PDU more times than necessary (once for each adjacent node, plus once for multicast). This problem is most pronounced on a leaf node, who could end up using twice the required bandwidth. This may be unacceptable (especially if the node is attached using a low-speed connection). Unfortunately, the node cannot simply stop transmitting data via multicast. It is possible that a node somewhere in the island (not adjacent) is receiving the multicast data, and may have already disabled unicast. + +Each **MAPData** PDU contains a flag that can be used by a node to resolve this problem. This flag is called the Unicast Forward Flag. This flag forces all intermediate nodes in the multicast island to once again forward the data flow via unicast to all receivers (even if they have previously disabled unicast). When a node decides that it wants to stop sending a given data flow via multicast, it simply sends all future **MAPData** PDUs (for that data flow) via unicast only, with the Unicast Forward Flag set. This makes it safe for the node to stop transmitting via multicast. + +### A.8.6 Removing multicast groups + +When a Multicast Group Provider senses that a multicast group is no longer needed, that group can be removed from the island. For reliable data, it is very important that the group be removed in a manner that guarantees no loss of data. + +To ensure this, the Multicast Group Provider will first disable multicast reception for the group. This is done by sending a **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** downward to all nodes in the island (this request is automatically forwarded by each receiving node to those nodes that lie below them). This MAPPDU causes each node to begin the process of re-enabling unicast for all data flows on the group for which unicast was previously disabled. This is done by issuing a **MAPEnableUnicastRequest** in the direction of the sender for each affected data flow. This MAPPDU also causes the group to be marked as disabled, which prohibits any further disabling of unicast for the group. Note that this does NOT cause the nodes to stop transmitting data to the multicast group. Furthermore, the nodes must stay joined as receivers to the multicast group at least until unicast has been successfully enabled for all affected data flows. + +When the **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** reaches the bottom nodes in the multicast island, they can respond with a **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm**. Before doing this, they must ensure that all data flows for which unicast was previously disabled on the group are completely re-enabled. To ensure this, each node must have received a **MAPEnableUnicastConfirm** for each outstanding request. Furthermore, each node must examine the sequence number in the confirm to ensure that all in-flight multicast data has been received (if not, it must wait for it to arrive). Once this is done, the **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** is sent to the node above. + +Intermediate nodes in the island must wait until they have received **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** PDUs from all nodes below them in the island. They must also wait until all previously disabled unicast data flows are re-enabled, as described above. Then they can issue a **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** to the node above. + +Once the Multicast Group Provider has received **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** PDUs from all downward nodes, and ensured that its unicast data flows are re-enabled, it is known that the group is no longer in use. At this point, the Multicast Group Provider can issue a **MAPRemoveGroupRequest** downward. This MAPPDU will propagate to all nodes in the island, causing each node to leave the group (if it is joined), and remove it from their list of active groups. + +Figure A.8-6 illustrates the process of group removal for the sample domain shown in Figure A.8-1. This is a continuation of the example in Figure A.8-5, in which unicast has been disabled for a single sender attached to Node 1. + +![Sequence diagram showing the timing of the group removal procedure between four nodes (Node 1, Node 2, Node 3, Node 4).

Each MAPPDU begins with a brief description of what it is used for. This is followed by a table showing the fields that are encoded into the MAPPDU. Finally, there is a description of what each field in the MAPPDU is. + +Note that the next subclause contains the ASN.1 definition of each MAPPDU. + +### A.9.1 MAPConnectRequest + +When creating a new connection between two nodes for a given domain, the first step is to open a reliable unicast connection. **MAPConnectRequest** is the first MAPPDU sent across that connection. The calling node sends this MAPPDU to tell the called node what protocol version it wishes to use. This is just a suggested value. It is up to the called node to make the final decision and communicate it back to the calling node by sending a **MAPConnectConfirm**. + +This MAPPDU includes a MAP Service Access Point (MAPSAP) field which allows the calling node to specify who on the called node should receive the incoming call. + +This MAPPDU also contains a Domain Reference ID, which allows the calling node to associate this connection with a particular domain. This is used when transport protocol arbitration results in the creation of additional connections, or the transition to a different set of connections. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPConnectRequest** contents. + +| | +|---------------------| +| Version Number | +| Connection MAPSAP | +| Domain Reference ID | +| Priority Range | + +*Version Number:* This field indicates the version of this protocol that the calling node wishes to use. This consists of both a Major and Minor version number. The value of this field for the protocol defined in this Annex is 1.0 (Major version 1, Minor version 0). Note that this is the suggested value. The called node will determine the actual protocol version to be used. + +*Connection MAPSAP:* This field tells the receiver which MAP Service Access Point is to handle the incoming connection. The value zero (0) indicates that the caller wishes to access the default MAPSAP. All other values are assigned and obtained out-of-band to this protocol. + +*Domain Reference ID:* This field allows the calling node to associate this connection with a particular domain on the called node. When creating the initial connection to a remote node, this field should be set to zero (0). When creating additional connections, or transitioning to a new set of connections, this field should be set to the value that was sent in the **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** on the initial connection. This value, in conjunction with the calling address, allows the called node to know which domain the in-bound connection is to be bound to. + +*Priority Range:* This is the priority range of the data that will be carried on this connection. The initial connection to a remote node will always carry *only* priority zero (zero is the highest priority). + +### A.9.2 MAPConnectConfirm + +This MAPPDU is used to accept a new connection from another node. It informs the calling node of what protocol version will be used on the connection. It also informs the calling node of which remote MAPSAP accepted the call. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPConnectConfirm** contents. + +| | +|-------------------| +| Version Number | +| Connection MAPSAP | + +*Version Number:* This field indicates the version of this protocol that will be used for this connection. This consists of both a Major and Minor version number. The value of this field for the protocol defined in this Annex is 1.0 (Major version 1, Minor version 0). If the calling node cannot handle (or does not want to handle) the version specified by the called node in this MAPPDU, it must disconnect. + +*Connection MAPSAP:* This is the MAPSAP on the called node that actually accepted the call. If the MAPSAP specified in the **MAPConnectRequest** was non-zero, then this field should be set the same. If the MAPSAP in the **MAPConnectRequest** was zero, then this field is set to the valid value of the MAPSAP that accepted the call (which may also be zero). + +### A.9.3 MAPDisconnectRequest + +This MAPPDU is used to break an existing transport connection between two nodes, or to reject an incoming connection if the called node does not wish to participate in the conference. Once this MAPPDU is sent, the connection cannot be used for the transmission of any other data. + +If this MAPPDU is being sent as part of a transition to a new set of reliable unicast connections, the sender should set the Confirm Required flag. This informs the receiver that it should respond by issuing a **MAPDisconnectConfirm** on the same connection. + +If the Confirm Required flag is set, then the sending node must wait for the **MAPDisconnectConfirm**, before dropping the connection. This is done to ensure that all data is flushed from the connection before shutting it down. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPDisconnectRequest** contents. + +| | +|------------------| +| Reason | +| Confirm Required | + +*Reason:* This field indicates to the recipient why the connection is being broken or rejected. + +*Confirm Required:* This is a Boolean flag that indicates whether or not the receiver should respond with a **MAPDisconnectConfirm**. This flag is set if the disconnect is occurring as part of a transition to a different set of reliable unicast connections. Waiting for the confirm allows both sides to know that all MAPPDUs transmitted on this connection have been processed. + +### A.9.4 MAPDisconnectConfirm + +This MAPPDU is sent in response to a **MAPDisconnectRequest** that has the Confirm Required flag set. By sending this confirm, both sides can be assured that all data has been flushed from the connection before they shut it down and begin using a new one. + +Upon receiving this MAPPDU, the node can safely shut down the connection upon which it arrived. Depending on the state of the replacement connections, it may be possible for the node to begin processing data on one or more of those connections. + +This MAPPDU has no fields associated with it. + +### A.9.5 MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest + +Once a connection has been established for a given domain between two nodes, this MAPPDU can be used to arbitrate which transport protocols are to be used for data delivery. This MAPPDU *must* be sent by the calling node when the initial connection is made. It may also be sent by any node if it becomes desirable to re-arbitrate the transport protocols at any time. + +This MAPPDU tells the receiver which transport protocols are supported by the sender. This includes both unicast and multicast protocols, for both reliability levels. Note that it is *mandatory* that the reliable unicast protocol used for the existing connection be represented in this MAPPDU (this allows the receiver to reject a reliable unicast transition simply by selecting the same protocol already in use). + +Each transport protocol listed in this MAPPDU can be assigned a preference weighting by the sender. For the multicast protocols, there is also a field to be used by a downward node to indicate how many nodes in its subtree support the protocol. The upward node can use this information to more wisely select multicast protocols for a given metachannel. + +This MAPPDU is also used to communicate a domain reference ID to the receiver. This value, in conjunction with the sender's network address, can subsequently be used to uniquely identify a particular domain to the receiver. This is necessary for those cases in which the domain cannot be implied. Specifically, this value is used when creating additional reliable unicast connections, or when sending unreliable data PDUs. + +If adjacent nodes both try to originate a re-arbitration at the same time, the request from the downward node is ignored. This situation is detectable at both nodes because they will both receive an arbitration request when they were expecting a confirm. The upward node responds to this by throwing away the request (and continuing to wait for the confirm). The downward node responds by processing the request (and ceasing to wait for the confirm). If the downward node still wishes to perform re-arbitration, it can issue another request (after sending the confirm). + +The following table summarizes the **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** contents. + +| | +|-------------------------| +| Domain Reference ID | +| More to Come Flag | +| Transport Protocol Menu | + +*Domain Reference ID:* This is a locally-assigned value used by the sender to reference a particular domain. After the arbitration process is complete, the sender can use this value to indicate which domain a **MAPConnectRequest** PDU is associated with. It is also used to indicate which domain an unreliable **MAPData** PDU is associated with. + +*More to Come Flag:* When set, this flag indicates that there are too many transport protocols to fit in one MAPPDU, so the receiver should wait for subsequent **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest** PDUs before processing them. The last MAPPDU in the sequence should have this flag reset. + +*Transport Protocol Menu:* This field contains a set of Transport Protocol Request Entries. This is a list of the transport protocols that the sender can use in this conference. This should be a complete list of the protocols supported by the sender (unreliable protocols are optional). It is mandatory that the reliable unicast protocol used to transport this MAPPDU be included in the list. There is a field in each entry allowing the caller to specify which protocols it prefers to use. For a given protocol type, the sender should also list the entries in the order of preference. It is the job of the receiver to select which protocols can actually be used for the connection. For the unicast protocols, the receiver should try to select the preferred protocols if possible. For the multicast protocols, the receiver should select all protocols that are common to both sender and receiver. It is okay if there are no common multicast protocols at a given reliability level (all data will be unicast at that reliability level). It is also okay if there is no common unreliable unicast protocol (unreliable data will be sent through the reliable connections). + +#### **A.9.5.1 Transport Protocol Request Entry** + +The menu is just a set of Transport Protocol Request Entries, the format of which is defined in the following table. + +| | +|----------------------------------| +| Transport Protocol ID | +| Transport Protocol Type | +| Network Address | +| Maximum Payload Fixed Flag | +| Maximum Payload Size | +| Preference Weighting (optional) | +| Node Count (optional) | +| Number of Connections (optional) | +| Configuration Data (optional) | + +*Transport Protocol ID:* This field uniquely identifies the transport protocol. Values for this field will have to be standardized, although it will also be possible to specify proprietary values. + +*Transport Protocol Type:* This field is set to one of four values: reliable unicast; unreliable unicast; reliable multicast; or unreliable multicast. + +*Network Address:* This is the address at which the originator can be reached using this protocol. + +*Maximum Payload Fixed Flag:* This is a Boolean flag that indicates whether or not the Maximum Payload Size is negotiable for this Transport Protocol Entry. See the description of Maximum Payload Size for more detail. + +*Maximum Payload Size:* This field specifies the maximum payload size supported by this transport protocol. If the Maximum Payload Fixed Flag is reset, then this is the maximum value supported by the local implementation (which can be negotiated down). If the Maximum Payload Fixed Flag is set, then this is the exact value that must be used in order to accept this Transport Protocol Entry. MAP will use the negotiated values to determine the maximum size of a data frame (data frames are discussed in more detail in the section on **MAPData**). The smallest Maximum Payload Size supported by MAP is 128. + +*Preference Weighting:* This optional field is used to indicate to the receiver which protocols are preferred. A higher value indicates a protocol that is preferred over one with a lower value. If the field is not included, then a preference weighting of zero is assumed. This field is not used for multicast protocols when the MAPPDU is being sent downward. + +*Node Count:* This optional field is only present for the multicast protocols (reliable and unreliable), and only when the MAPPDU is being sent upward. It indicates how many nodes at or below the sender support this multicast protocol entry. This number can be used by the upward node to make better decisions about which multicast protocol to use when mapping a new metachannel to multicast. For this number to remain accurate, a re-arbitration will have to occur whenever a new MAP capable node joins or leaves the conference. This re-arbitration will only occur on the branch of the domain tree that leads to where the node joined or left. In order to reduce network traffic, re-arbitration should not occur *every* time a node joins or leaves once the conference exceeds a certain size. This field can also be used to prevent the use of multicast when there are fewer than $N$ nodes that will use it ( $N = 3?$ ). + +*Number of Connections:* This optional field is only present for the reliable unicast protocol. It indicates the number of transport connections that the sender wishes to create for this one MAP connection (if this protocol is selected). If the receiver does select this protocol, it should choose a number that is less than or equal to the number specified by the sender. + +*Configuration Data:* This optional field is a variable length octet string that is used by the transport protocol stacks to pass configuration information. This field will not be present if the transport stacks do not wish to exchange any configuration data, or if this is a re-arbitration and the transport stacks wish to keep the previously agreed upon value. Note that if this field *is* present during a re-arbitration, and this protocol is selected as a unicast protocol, then it is necessary to transition to a new set of unicast connections (since the configuration data may have changed). The format of this field is specific to each transport protocol. For standardized transport protocols, this field will have to be part of a standard. For proprietary transport protocols, it can be whatever the manufacturer thinks is appropriate. This field can be used to communicate capabilities, and can be modified in the **MAPArbitrateProtocolsConfirm** to arbitrate those capabilities. This field must not be so large that the MAPPPDU exceeds 16 384 bytes in size. + +### A.9.6 MAPArbitrateProtocolsConfirm + +This MAPPPDU is used to finalize arbitration of transport protocols for a given connection. After receiving a **MAPArbitrateProtocolsRequest**, the receiver should respond by issuing this MAPPPDU. + +The request MAPPPDU contained a list of all transport protocols supported by the sender (including preferences). The receiver should select from this list the protocols that can be used on this connection. This includes *exactly* one reliable unicast protocol (and, optionally, one unreliable unicast protocol). If the sender specified preferences for the unicast protocols, these should be taken into consideration. The receiver should also determine the complete set of multicast protocols that are common to the two nodes. Returning this common set in the confirm helps to ensure that the best multicast protocols are selected during group allocation. + +This MAPPPDU is also used to communicate a domain reference ID to the receiver. This value, in conjunction with the sender's network address, can subsequently be used to uniquely identify a particular domain to the receiver. This is necessary for those cases in which the domain cannot be implied. Specifically, this value is used when sending unreliable data PDUs. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPArbitrateProtocolsConfirm** contents. + +| | +|-------------------------| +| Domain Reference ID | +| More to Come Flag | +| Transport Protocol Menu | + +*Domain Reference ID:* This is a locally-assigned value used by the sender to reference a particular domain. After the arbitration process is complete, the sender can use this value to indicate which domain an unreliable **MAPData** PDU is associated with. + +*More to Come Flag:* When set, this flag indicates that there are too many transport protocols to fit in one MAPPPDU, so the receiver should wait for subsequent **MAPArbitrateProtocolsConfirm** PDUs before processing them. The last MAPPPDU in the sequence should have this flag reset. + +*Transport Protocol Menu:* This field contains a set of Transport Protocol Confirm Entries. This is a list of the transport protocols that the called node has decided to use on this connection. As a minimum, the called node must indicate a reliable unicast protocol. Optionally, it can indicate an unreliable unicast protocol and protocols for the multicast reliability levels. If an unreliable unicast protocol is not included, then unreliable data will be unicast over the reliable connections. If a given multicast reliability level is not included, then all data at that reliability level will be unicast between these two nodes (multicast islands will be split for that reliability level). If the arbitrated unicast protocols are different than the ones already in use, then a unicast protocol transition must take place. + +#### A.9.6.1 Transport Protocol Confirm Entry + +The menu is just a set of Transport Protocol Confirm Entries, the format of which is defined in the following table. + +| | +|----------------------------------| +| Transport Protocol ID | +| Transport Protocol Type | +| Network Address | +| Maximum Payload Size | +| Preference Weighting (optional) | +| Node Count (optional) | +| Number of Connections (optional) | +| Configuration Data (optional) | + +*Transport Protocol ID:* This field uniquely identifies the transport protocol. Values for this field will have to be standardized, although it will also be possible to specify proprietary values. + +*Transport Protocol Type:* This field is set to one of four values: reliable unicast; unreliable unicast; reliable multicast; or unreliable multicast. + +*Network Address:* This is the address at which the originator can be reached using this protocol. + +*Maximum Payload Size:* This field specifies the maximum payload size that will be used by this transport protocol. Note that the maximum payload size for a given multicast protocol *must* be the same as the maximum payload size for the unicast protocol at the same reliability level. This is due to the fact that data frames at that reliability level may have to be redirected via unicast at some points within the multicast island. The smallest Maximum Payload Size supported by MAP is 128. + +*Preference Weighting:* This optional field is used to indicate to the receiver which protocols are preferred. A higher value indicates a protocol that is preferred over one with a lower value. If the field is not included, then a preference weighting of zero is assumed. This field is only used for multicast protocols when the MAPPDU is being sent upward. + +*Node Count:* This optional field is only present for the multicast protocols (reliable and unreliable), and only when the MAPPDU is being sent upward. It indicates how many nodes at or below the sender support this multicast protocol entry. This number can be used by the upward node to make better decisions about which multicast protocol to use when mapping a new metachannel to multicast. For this number to remain accurate, a re-arbitration will have to occur whenever a new MAP capable node joins or leaves the conference. This re-arbitration will only occur on the branch of the domain tree that leads to where the node joined or left. In order to reduce network traffic, re-arbitration should not occur *every* time a node joins or leaves once the conference exceeds a certain size. This field can also be used to prevent the use of multicast when there are fewer than $N$ nodes that will use it ( $N = 3?$ ). + +*Number of Connections:* This optional field is only present for the unicast protocols. It indicates the number of transport connections that will be created for this one MAP connection (at this reliability level). This number should be the lesser of the requested value, and the locally supported value. + +*Configuration Data:* This optional field is a variable length octet string that is used by the transport protocol stacks to pass configuration information. This field will not be present if the transport stacks do not wish to exchange any configuration data, or if this is a re-arbitration and the transport stacks wish to keep the previously agreed upon value. Note that if this field *is* present during a + +re-arbitration, and this protocol is selected as a unicast protocol, then it is necessary to transition to a new set of unicast connections (since the configuration data may have changed). The format of this field is specific to each transport protocol. For standardized transport protocols, this field will have to be part of the standard. For proprietary stacks, it can be whatever the manufacturer thinks is appropriate. This field can be used to communicate capabilities, and can be modified to arbitrate those capabilities. This field must not be so large that the MAPDU exceeds 16 384 bytes in size. + +### A.9.7 MAPData + +This MAPDU is the workhorse of the protocol. It is used to carry all user data to its eventual destination. Unlike the TCP/IP stack defined in Recommendation T.123, MAP allows for the concatenation of multiple MCSPDUs into a single **MAPData** PDU (to promote efficient use of the network). MAP also allows for the segmentation of a single MCSPDU into multiple **MAPData** PDUs (when the MCSPDU exceeds the Maximum Payload Size). + +Each individual data component of a **MAPData** PDU is referred to as a *data frame*. There can be one or many data frames in a single **MAPData** PDU. The maximum size of a data frame is determined during transport protocol arbitration. It is the largest size that will fit into the maximum payload for a given reliability level (after taking overhead into consideration). The maximum data frame size for one reliability level may be different than that for a different reliability level. + +MCSPDUs are broken into data frames at the node acting as the original point-of-entry for the data flow. If necessary, they are re-assembled at all receiving nodes. + +**MAPData** supports the notion of header compression. There are several fields in the **MAPData** header that are also included in the MCS data PDU header. If these fields can be extracted from the MCS header of the first data frame in the MAPDU, then they may not be included in the **MAPData** header (they are optional fields). If the first data frame in the MAPDU is a segmented MCS data PDU, the sender will decide whether or not enough of the MCS header is present to extract these fields. The receiver must be prepared to extract these fields if they are not explicitly included in the **MAPData** header. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPData** contents. + +| | +|----------------------------| +| Data Descriptor (optional) | +| Data Frame Array | + +*Data Descriptor*: This optional field is only present when sending MCS data PDUs. When present, the fields within this descriptor describe the data contained in this MAPDU. If this field is not present, then this MAPDU contains MCS control PDUs, which are to be forwarded directly to MCS at the receiving node. + +*Data Frame Array*: This is a sequence of Data Frame Entries (as defined below). + +#### A.9.7.1 Data Descriptor + +A Data Descriptor is only present in a **MAPData** PDU if it is carrying MCS data PDUs. The following table summarizes the Data Descriptor contents. + +| | +|---------------------------------| +| Unicast Forward Flag | +| Starting Sequence Number | +| Data Flow Identifier (optional) | +| Domain Reference ID (optional) | + +*Unicast Forward Flag:* This flag is used to force the recipient to forward this MAPPDU via unicast. When this flag is set, the recipient must begin transmitting all data on this data flow via unicast (even to neighboring nodes that have previously disabled unicast). The mandatory unicast transmission begins with this MAPPDU. This flag should remain set when the PDU is forwarded. Once a sender chooses to set this flag for a particular data flow, the flag must be set for all subsequent **MAPData** PDUs on the same data flow (to avoid race conditions). If this flag is reset, then this MAPPDU should be treated normally. + +*Starting Sequence Number:* This field contains the unique sequence number assigned to the first data frame in this MAPPDU. Subsequent data frames in this MAPPDU simply increment from this starting sequence number. Sequence numbers are independently assigned to each data frame by the originator of the data flow. + +*Data Flow Identifier:* This optional field must be present if the information cannot be extracted from the first data frame. The fields making up the data flow identifier are those that are required to properly route the data, and to determine which unique data flow the data frames are associated with (which in turn identifies the sequence counter). + +*Domain Reference ID:* This optional field is only present for unreliable data. This is the Domain Reference ID that was transmitted by the sender during protocol arbitration. This field may be present for multicast transmissions (for performance reasons), but should be ignored. This value, combined with the network address of the originator, is sufficient to uniquely determine which domain the data is associated with. + +#### **A.9.7.2 Data flow identifier** + +A data flow identifier is used to identify which data flow a set of data frames is associated with. This information must be explicitly included if it cannot be extracted from the first data frame. The following table summarizes the Data Flow Identifier contents. + +| | +|---------------------------| +| Sender ID (optional) | +| Metachannel ID (optional) | +| Channel ID | +| Reliability Level | +| Priority | +| Data Type (optional) | + +*Sender ID:* This optional field is only present for non-uniform data, or for uniform or proxy data flowing upward via unicast. This field may also be excluded if the information can be extracted from the MCS header of the first data frame. This field indicates the MCS User ID of the user application that originated the data associated with this data flow. + +*Metachannel ID:* This optional field may be excluded if the information can be extracted from the MCS header of the first data frame. This field identifies which metachannel is being referenced, and contains three sub-fields: channel ID; reliability level; and priority. + +*Data Type:* This optional field may be excluded if the information can be extracted from the MCS header of the first data frame. This field indicates what type of data this is. This is one of: non-uniform; uniform; or proxy. + +#### A.9.7.3 Data frame entry + +**MAPData** PDUs contain an array of data frames. The following table summarizes the Data Frame Entry contents. + +| | +|--------------------| +| First Segment Flag | +| Last Segment Flag | +| User Data | + +*First Segment Flag:* This flag indicates whether or not this data frame is the first segment of a MCSPDU. If this flag is set, then this is the first data frame in a MCSPDU. If this flag is reset, then this is not the first data frame in a MCSPDU. + +*Last Segment Flag:* This flag indicates whether or not this data frame is the last segment of a MCSPDU. If this flag is set, then this is the last data frame in a MCSPDU. If this flag is reset, then this is not the last data frame in a MCSPDU. + +*User Data:* This is the user data from the MCSPDU. + +### A.9.8 MAPAddGroupRequest + +This MAPPDU is used to propagate multicast group assignments downward within a domain. This is done whenever MAP detects a data flow for which there is no group assignment. This process is originated by each node in the domain that either has no upward MAP connection, or has an upward MAP connection but no common multicast protocols with the node above. This process is continued by each node that receives a **MAPAddGroupRequest** from the node above it. + +Each node should examine the lists of multicast protocols that are supported by the nodes beneath it (these lists are constructed during transport protocol arbitration). Based on this information, each node must tell the nodes beneath it which multicast protocol and group address to use. It should select those protocol(s) that will result in the fewest, largest multicast islands. + +When selecting a protocol for each downward node, there are several things that should be considered: + +- 1) *What protocol versions are in use at the downward nodes?* During connection establishment, both MCS and MAP arbitrate protocol versions with each adjacent node. When selecting multicast protocols for the downward nodes, remember that nodes using different protocol versions *cannot* be in the same multicast island (even if they support the same multicast protocol). This is simply because PDU formats are different. +- 2) *What protocols are supported by the downward nodes?* Obviously, a node can only select from those protocols that the downward nodes have agreed to support. It should attempt to select the protocols that are most broadly supported. +- 3) *What maximum payload sizes were arbitrated with the downward nodes?* During protocol arbitration, each node should attempt to select the same maximum payload sizes that have already been arbitrated with other connections in the same domain. If different nodes insist on different maximum payload sizes, then they cannot be in the same multicast island (all nodes in an island must agree on the same maximum payload size, for both unicast and multicast). + +- 4) *What protocol was assigned from above?* If a node is performing this selection in response to a **MAPAddGroupRequest** from above, then it should try to use the same protocol that was assigned to it (when possible). This is based on the fact that the node above has broader visibility, and can therefore make better decisions. +- 5) *How many nodes in each subtree support each protocol?* During protocol arbitration, downward nodes include a node count with each multicast protocol that they agree to use. This number tells the upward node how many nodes in each of its subtrees support that protocol. By summing these numbers for all downward connections, a node can choose the multicast protocol with the broadest support. This gives some visibility beyond one level of the domain hierarchy. +- 6) *Which protocols are preferred?* During protocol arbitration, downward nodes can also communicate their protocol preferences. This information could be used to finalize a protocol selection if the other factors do not clearly indicate a better choice. + +Once a multicast protocol has been selected for each downward node, this information is communicated to those nodes by sending a **MAPAddGroupRequest** to each of them. This will cause each receiving node to add that group to their list of active groups. It will also cause each node to continue propagating the group assignment downward by repeating the above steps for each of their downward connections. + +Since **MAPAddGroupRequest** specifies the range of priorities that are to use the multicast group, it is possible for different priorities to use different groups (even for the same channel). When determining which multicast group to send data to, MAP uses channel ID, reliability level, *and* priority. If a given priority is not mapped to multicast, then data at that priority is sent via unicast. + +Note that not all nodes in a multicast island will need to join a multicast group immediately. A node will join the group if any of the following conditions are true: if there are local user attachments that need to receive the data; if there are connections through other transport stacks that need to receive the data; or if this node must redirect the data via unicast to any neighbors. Some transport protocols may also require a node to join a group before transmitting data to it (even if that node has no interest in receiving data from the group). + +The following table summarizes the **MAPAddGroupRequest** contents. + +| | +|-------------------------| +| Metachannel | +| Transport Protocol ID | +| Multicast Group Address | + +*Metachannel:* This field indicates which metachannel is being mapped to a multicast group. + +*Transport Protocol ID:* This field uniquely identifies the transport protocol to be used for this metachannel. + +*Multicast Group Address:* This is the multicast group address upon which the data for the metachannel will be sent. This field is formatted as an NSAP address. + +#### A.9.8.1 Metachannel + +The following table defines the fields that make up a metachannel. This type is used to identify the abstraction that MAP assigns multicast groups to. + +| | +|-------------------| +| Channel ID | +| Reliability Level | +| Priority Range | + +*Channel ID:* This field indicates which MCS channel is associated with the metachannel. + +*Reliability Level:* This field indicates which reliability level is associated with the metachannel. + +*Priority Range:* This is the priority range that is associated with the metachannel (zero is the highest priority). + +### A.9.9 MAPRemoveGroupRequest + +This MAP PDU is used to remove multicast groups from downward nodes in the multicast island. This process is originated by the Multicast Group Provider when it becomes necessary to remove a multicast group from use. When a node receives a **MAPRemoveGroupRequest**, it must forward the request downward to any nodes beneath it in the multicast island. + +Typically, a **MAPRemoveGroupRequest** will not be issued downward until use of the multicast group has already stopped. It is possible to ensure that a multicast group is not being actively used by issuing a **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** downward, and waiting for a **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** (from all downward nodes in the multicast island). Once this is done, the Multicast Group Provider can be assured that no one is using the group, so it can be removed without fear of data loss. + +When a node receives a **MAPRemoveGroupRequest**, it should immediately remove the group and forward the request downward toward all lower nodes in the island. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPRemoveGroupRequest** contents. + +| | +|-------------| +| Metachannel | +|-------------| + +*Metachannel:* This field indicates which metachannel the group is being removed from. + +### A.9.10 MAPDisableUnicastRequest + +This MAP PDU is used to disable unicast data from a neighboring node for a specified data flow. + +A node should not transmit this MAP PDU until it has verified that it can transition to multicast reception without losing any data. To do this it must have received at least one data frame via unicast, in order to know what the next expected sequence number is. Furthermore, it must receive a data frame via multicast with a sequence number less than or equal to the expected sequence number (so that it knows it is synchronized). Only then will it know that it is okay to shut off the flow of unicast data (for that data flow). + +The following table summarizes the **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** contents. + +| | +|----------------------| +| Data Flow Identifier | +|----------------------| + +*Data Flow Identifier:* This field contains the information necessary to determine which data flow unicast is being disabled for. The data flow identifier is fully defined in the subclause discussing the **MAPData** PDU. Sender ID will be omitted for downward flowing uniform and proxy data flows, but will otherwise be present. Metachannel ID and Data Type will always be present. + +### A.9.11 MAPEnableUnicastRequest + +This MAPDU is used to re-enable unicast from a neighboring node for a specified data flow. + +This MAPDU would be sent if a node determines that it is no longer receiving data via multicast, or that the error rates for multicast transmission are so high that it is not efficient to use it. There must be some local communication between MAP and the transport protocol to determine when this is necessary. This could also happen in response to **MAPSequenceNumber** PDUs that have revealed a stoppage in multicast data flow. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPEnableUnicastRequest** contents. + +| | +|----------------------| +| Data Flow Identifier | +|----------------------| + +*Data Flow Identifier:* This field contains the information necessary to determine which data flow unicast is being enabled for. The data flow identifier is fully defined in the subclause discussing the **MAPData** PDU. Sender ID will be omitted for downward flowing uniform and proxy data flows, but will otherwise be present. Metachannel ID and Data Type will always be present. + +### A.9.12 MAPEnableUnicastConfirm + +This MAPDU confirms that unicast has been re-established for the specified data flow. When a node tells a neighboring node to turn unicast back on, it may still be necessary for it to receive more data via multicast. This would happen if it is already too late for the neighboring node to send some data frames via unicast, because they have already passed through. This MAPDU allows the neighboring node to tell the originator of the **MAPEnableUnicastRequest** what the next sequence number that will be unicast is. That way, the node can continue to use multicast (if possible) to listen for all data frames up through that one. This is necessary in order to ensure that no data are lost during the transition from multicast back to unicast. + +For example, a node has received sequence numbers through 20 for a given data flow (but with very high error rates). It may elect to turn on unicast to better deal with the errors. However, the neighboring node may have already processed sequence numbers through 23 for that data flow. If the node immediately begins relying on unicast, it will miss sequence numbers 21 through 23. This confirm tells the originator of the request that the next sequence number it will unicast will be 24, so all sequence numbers through 23 must be received via multicast before it can depend on unicast. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPEnableUnicastConfirm** contents. + +| | +|----------------------| +| Data Flow Identifier | +| Sequence Number | + +*Data Flow Identifier:* This field contains the information necessary to determine which data flow unicast is being enabled for. The data flow identifier is fully defined in the subclause discussing the **MAPData** PDU. Sender ID will be omitted for downward flowing uniform and proxy data flows, but will otherwise be present. Metachannel ID and Data Type will always be present. + +*Sequence Number:* This is the next sequence number in the data flow that will travel to the node via unicast. Anything prior to this sequence number must be received via multicast before the node can depend on the unicast data stream. + +### A.9.13 MAPDisableMulticastRequest + +This MAPPDU is transmitted downward in the multicast island to disable the use of multicast prior to group removal. + +When a node receives a **MAPDisableMulticastRequest**, it must initiate the process of re-enabling unicast for any data flows for which unicast was previously disabled (for this group). It does this by sending a **MAPEnableUnicastRequest** in the direction of the sender for each affected data flow. The node should also mark the group as being in the disabled state, which prohibits the node from disabling unicast for any data flows on the group. It should NOT, however, stop transmitting to the group. + +The **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** should be repeated downward to all nodes that lie beneath the receiver. A node cannot respond with a **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** until it has received similar confirms from all downward nodes, AND it has successfully re-enabled unicast for all data flows for which unicast was previously disabled (for this group). It cannot assume that unicast is re-enabled for a data flow until it has received a **MAPEnableUnicastConfirm** for each outstanding request (and it must have received all data via multicast with a sequence number less than the one in each confirm). + +The following table summarizes the **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** contents. + +| | +|-------------| +| Metachannel | +|-------------| + +*Metachannel:* This is the metachannel associated with the group for which multicast is being disabled. The metachannel type is fully described in the subclause on **MAPRemoveGroupRequest**. + +### A.9.14 MAPDisableMulticastConfirm + +This MAPPDU is used to confirm that all nodes beneath the receiver have stopped using a multicast group. + +When a node receives a **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** from the node above, it should respond by sending a **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** after two conditions have been met: it must have received **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** PDUs from all nodes beneath it in the multicast island (if any); and it must be sure that unicast is enabled for all data flows on the group. + +The first condition is met as a result of forwarding the **MAPDisableMulticastRequest** to the downward nodes. The second condition is met by re-enabling unicast for any data flows that were previously disabled (this is done using the **MAPEnableUnicastRequest** PDU). + +The following table summarizes the **MAPDisableMulticastConfirm** contents. + +| | +|-------------| +| Metachannel | +|-------------| + +*Metachannel:* This is the metachannel associated with the group for which multicast has been disabled. The metachannel type is fully described in the subclause on **MAPRemoveGroupRequest**. + +### A.9.15 MAPEnableMulticastRequest + +This MAPPDU is used to re-enable a multicast group that was previously disabled. + +When a node receives a **MAPEnableMulticastRequest** for a group that is marked disabled (but still valid), it will re-enable the use of that group. This means that **MAPDisableUnicastRequest** PDUs can again be processed in order to shut off unicast data flow. A re-enabled group takes on the same state it had when first created. + +This request should be repeated downward to all nodes that lie beneath the receiver. +The following table summarizes the **MAPEnableMulticastRequest** contents. + +| | +|-------------| +| Metachannel | +|-------------| + +*Metachannel:* This is the metachannel associated with the group for which multicast is being re-enabled. The metachannel type is fully described in the subclause on **MAPRemoveGroupRequest**. + +### **A.9.16 MAPSequenceNumber** + +This MAPPDU is used to inform downstream receivers of what sequence numbers they should have received up until the current time. This MAPPDU is propagated outward from the originator of the data flow via unicast, and is repeated by all receiving nodes to those nodes that lie farther from the sender (across the upward connection, as well as any downward connections that lead to users joined to the specified channel). In this way, all nodes can be informed of what sequence numbers for the data flow should have been received. + +This MAPPDU could be used to determine when a node simply stops receiving data on a multicast group. This could be useful for unreliable protocols where there is no attempt at error correction. It may also be useful for transport protocols that do not cleanly detect the loss of a multicast pathway from a sender to a receiver. The exact use of the MAPPDU is for further study. + +The following table summarizes the **MAPSequenceNumber** contents. + +| | +|----------------------| +| Data Flow Identifier | +| Sequence Number | + +*Data Flow Identifier:* This field contains the information necessary to determine which data flow this sequence number is associated with.

Each site can enter text in the session. Exchange of text is maintained on a character-by-character or close to character-by-character basis in order to give the session participants an opportunity to exercise a natural conversation in text. The text and control exchange is done according to Recommendation T.140. + +A CHAT session consists of one or more CHATE entities which cooperate via the CHAT protocol to distribute entered text within the session. The CHAT protocol defines interactions between CHATEs. It does not define interactions between a CHATE and the operating system or input and output devices on the local terminal. + +## 5.1 CHAT concepts + +Figure 2 shows an example collection of CHATEs within a CHAT session. + +![Diagram showing three CHATE entities (A, B, and C) connected in a multipoint configuration.

This clause details specific use of MCS services, channel allocation and data priorities. This Recommendation complies with the mechanisms described in Recommendation T.121 regarding proper operations for standard base sessions, and the registration session. + +A CHATE uses the MCS service primitives described in Table 6-1 to attach and detach from a domain, join and leave the CHAT channel, and send and receive CHATPDUs. + +**Table 6-1/T.134 – MCS primitives needed by a CHATE** + +| MCS primitive | Description | +|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| MCS-ATTACH-USER | Creates an MCS attachment through an MCS SAP to a domain hosted by the MCS provider. A result is confirmed to the requester. If the request is accepted, a user ID is assigned. | +| MCS-DETACH-USER | Deletes an MCS attachment that was created previously by invocation of MCS-ATTACH-USER. This primitive may be requested by a user or initiated by a provider. It delivers an indication at every other MCS attachment to the same domain. If provider initiated, an indication is also delivered at the deleted attachment. | +| MCS-CHANNEL-JOIN | Used by an application client to join an appropriate channel whose use is defined by the application. This is a prerequisite for receiving data sent to the channel. | +| MCS-CHANNEL-LEAVE | Used by an application client to leave a previously joined channel and thus stop receiving data sent to that channel. The primitive may be user initiated (request only) or provider initiated (indication to affected user only). | +| MCS-UNIFORM-SEND-DATA | Used to transmit data to other members of a domain. If the sender is a member of the destination channel, it will not receive its own data indications. However, it will receive data indications from other sources addressed to that channel. | + +MCS request primitives are directed from the CHATE to the MCS provider, while indication primitives are directed from the MCS provider towards the CHATE. Additional detail on the MCS primitives described above can be found in Recommendation T.122 (Multipoint communication service for audiographics and audiovisual conferencing service definition). + +## 6.1 MCS channel usage + +Table 6-2 describes MCS channel usage for CHATE sessions of the types defined in Recommendation T.121. In the case of a Standard Base Session (see Recommendation T.121) which uses the CHAT protocol, the Channel IDs shown in Table 6-2 shall be used (symbolic IDs shown). For all other session types, the Application Registry Resource IDs shown in the table shall be used for allocating dynamic channels. The given Resource IDs shall be encoded as three-octet T.50 text strings using the characters shown in quotes in Table 6-2. + +**Table 6-2/T.134 – Description of CHAT channels** + +| Mnemonic | Channel IDs for Static Channel | Application Registry Resource IDs for Dynamic Channels | Description | +|-----------------|---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| CHAT-CHANNEL | CHAT-CHANNEL-0 | "T140"
(to be defined) | This channel bears all CHATPDUs to be broadcast to all peer CHATEs in a domain. | + +## 6.2 Use of MCS data services + +Table 6-3 lists the use of the MCS data service MCS-UNIFORM-SEND-DATA for the CHATPDU. This table includes the channel over which the data is sent and the data priority at which the data is sent. + +- The CHAT protocol uses only the Medium MCS priority. + +The CHATPDUs specified in this Recommendation are placed in the Data parameter of the MCS-UNIFORM-SEND-DATA primitive. The CHATPDUs are packed into the sequence of octets that form the Data parameter such that the leading bit is placed in the most significant bit of each octet, and filled toward the least significant bit of the octet. + +**Table 6-3/T.134 – Use of MCS data primitives for CHATPDUs** + +| CHATPDU | Channel | Priority | +|----------------|----------------|-----------------| +| ChatentryPDU | CHAT-CHANNEL | Medium | + +# 7 Use of GCC + +The CHAT protocol may use the procedures defined for a Registration Session and a Standard Base Session in the manner specified in Recommendation T.121 and shall use as its Application Protocol Key the Object Identifier defined in Annex B. + +All CHATEs compliant with this Recommendation shall first enrol actively or inactively in the Registration Session using the procedures defined in Recommendation T.121 and shall stay enrolled for as long as support for the CHAT protocol is to be indicated. + +CHATEs may enrol in a Public Session or Private Session at their discretion using the procedures defined in Recommendation T.121. + +When a session is in conducted mode, a CHATE may be restricted from sending data, depending on the GCC conducted-mode permission mechanism. If the node is given GCC conducted-mode permission, then a CHATE may send any type of ChatPDU. If the node is not given GCC conducted-mode permission, then a CHATE shall not send any type of ChatPDU. + +# **8 Protocol specification** + +## **8.1 CHAT sessions** + +A CHAT session consists of one or more CHATEs enrolled within a conference as described in clause 7. CHATEs may join or leave the CHAT session at any time. + +## **8.2 Capabilities** + +There are no capabilities to negotiate for this protocol. + +## **8.3 CHATPDU formats** + +The CHATPDUs contain data from the T.140 protocol. + +One CHATPDU can contain one or more entries of text and control items from the T.140 protocol. + +**Table 8-1/T.134 – ChatData** + +| Parameter | Description | +|-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| +| ChatString | One or more text and control items from the T.140 protocol | + +A ChatPDU can contain non-standard information using the chatNonStandardPDU choice. This uses the H221NonStandardIdentifier to allow an implementation to use non-standard information without conflicting with any other implementation's non-standard information. If a terminal receives a ChatNonStandardPDU it doesn't understand, it shall ignore the PDU. + +## **8.4 CHATE activation** + +In the CHAT protocol, CHATE activation shall be performed according to Recommendation T.121. + +A CHATE shall use the last roster instance number supplied by a GCC-APPLICATION-ROSTER-REPORT indication on the Standard Base Session that contains both itself and other CHATEs enrolled active. + +## **8.5 Response to long delays or high loads** + +If long delays are experienced or other high load indications, one reason can be that the total volume of CHAT data transmission in a large conference is high. For such cases, a CHATE may process CHAT data such that the volume of the transmission is reduced by buffering text for a longer period than normally done (reduces mean protocol overhead). The buffering timer is a local configuration value that should not exceed the limit documented in Appendix I. A value of zero indicates that no buffering is applied. In low bandwidth applications it may be accepted to configure constantly for the maximum buffering delay. + +## **8.6 Text and presentation control entry** + +The application enters text and presentation control elements according to Recommendation T.140 to CHATE for distribution. + +The entry should be inserted in a ChatentryPDU. If no buffering timer is specified, each entry from the application is sent with a ChatentryPDU. + +If a buffering timer is specified, entries are stored sequentially in one ChatentryPDU and sending initiated after the buffer timer has expired.

domains. + +## PROTOCOLS FOR INTERACTIVE AUDIOVISUAL SERVICES: CODED REPRESENTATION OF MULTIMEDIA AND HYPERMEDIA OBJECTS + +*(Geneva, 1996)* + +### 0 Introduction + +This Recommendation provides an encoding for multimedia/hypermedia information to be used and interchanged by applications in a wide range of domains. + +The design of this Recommendation has been driven by an analysis of application requirements to identify the generic aspects of these applications and incorporate them in a simple encoding. + +#### 0.1 Application domains for requirements analysis + +In recent years, an explosion of multimedia applications and services has been apparent in many domains. This subclause illustrates the very wide range of audiovisual computer-based applications on which the requirements analysis has been made. + +- **Training and education (also known as teletraining):** The extension of data processing and telematics to support audiovisuals makes it a more attractive tool to educators because it improves the interface with the students. There is also a need to exchange audiovisuals between tools and to reuse audiovisuals in other applications. The audiovisuals must be structured in such a way that they can be updated, modified and personalised easily. +- **Simulation and games:** These can be made much more realistic by the use of multiple media in computer-based systems. Examples are flight and maritime simulators; these applications are highly interactive. +- **Sales and advertising:** The association of attractive audiovisuals, showing the products to best advantage, with the stock control and ordering process is a natural commercial evolution. +- **Office information systems, engineering documentation:** There is a long-standing need to be able to integrate drawings, images, audio and video into all types of office documentation. Integrated documents would also provide an attractive means of internal enterprise communication. +- **Culture:** The computer processing of audiovisual information makes it possible to extend the audience for theatres, museums and cultural events. It also opens the possibility of new art forms. +- **Electronic publishing and electronic books:** Much material that is currently published on paper could be enhanced by the integration of audiovisuals and by being available in a hypertext manner over a telecommunication network, for example, tourist guides and yellow pages, which could be a mixed sales and advertising application. +- **Public information:** The use of audiovisual interfaces makes it possible for the public to use computer-based, real-time information systems, for example, a kiosk at which information is accessed through videotex or locally from CD. +- **Computer-supported multimedia cooperative work:** There is a need to form effective teams of people who are geographically separated but want to share text, graphics, image, audio and other information, for example, remote maintenance, joint authorship or multimedia electronic mail. +- **Medical applications:** There is a need for a timely retrieval of audiovisual information, including medical images, medical data and case history, in an integrated way from a remote site. This could be a mixed cooperative work application with different medical experts. + +--- + +1) This text is technically aligned with ISO/IEC 13522-1. + +- **Interactive television applications:** The emergence of digital television systems on terrestrial, satellite or cable networks, as well as the availability of New modulation and transmission techniques on the telephone network, creates favourable conditions for a New offer of interactive multimedia services based on the merging of television and telematics technologies, providing the users with interactive access to video documents. +- **New classes of applications:** The widespread availability of remote access to audiovisual data processing systems makes possible New classes of applications such as interactive television, customised news programmes and archive materials. + +In the following subclauses, the specific needs of communicating multimedia/hypermedia applications from these domains are examined, leading to a list of application requirements. This set of requirements constitutes the global framework of this Recommendation. + +## 0.2 Multimedia/Hypermedia application requirements + +In the various domains presented above, interactive multimedia systems are perceived to have increased impact on users through their use of image, video and audio, in addition to traditional text information. + +The development of these systems is based upon support for multimedia information in the following areas: + +- **Platforms:** Emerging compression standards, such as JPEG (ISO/IEC 10918) or MPEG (ISO/IEC 11172 and ISO/IEC 13818), have enabled the development of dedicated hardware, which, in the future, will be provided as a standard system resource. +- **Storage:** The increasing capacity of magnetic and optical disks, combined with compression techniques, enables the storage of increasing amounts of high bandwidth information. +- **Communication:** The increasing availability and bandwidth of digital transmission media, such as ISDN and other broadband telecommunication and broadcasting networks, enables the appropriate exchange of large amounts of data. + +Using these facilities, it is anticipated that multimedia applications will be designed to Run on heterogeneous platforms and will be interconnected to offer multimedia services. + +These multimedia applications and services will use large quantities of structured multimedia objects resident in workstations, stored on digital interchange medium and retrieved or distributed from remote sources through a network. These multimedia data will represent a significant investment and it is vital that the information be applicable in a world of rapidly evolving systems and technologies. In particular, it is important that information should be interchangeable between the data structures supported by different applications. + +The following application requirements can be identified: + +- Multimedia database retrieval. +- Frequent updates of multimedia data. +- Manipulation of a set of data elements. +- Creation of multimedia documents on a range of workstations. +- Composition of multimedia data in time and space. +- Ability to link part of a document with some other part of the same or another document in an open hyperdocument environment. +- Synchronisation. +- Elementary synchronisation: Two objects are synchronised with regard to the same reference origin time (parallel mode) or one with regard to the other (sequential mode). +- Chained synchronisation: A set of objects are presented one after another in the form of a chain. +- Cyclic synchronisation: One or more objects are repetitively presented. +- Conditional synchronisation: The presentation of an object is linked to the satisfaction of a condition. + +- Reuse of multimedia data by integration in different documents. +- Exchange of multimedia data between heterogeneous systems. +- Space wide range of users, including closed user groups. +- Real-time interactivity, including acquisition of multimedia data. +- Telecommunication of multimedia data. +- Broadcast of multimedia data. +- Wide range of data volumes and transfer rates. +- Access control, security. +- Tariffing. +- Copyright, licensing. +- Wide range of support materials. +- Use of a wide range of terminals and workstations, including devices with minimal resources. +- Minimal resources: Facilities that the interchange form must provide in order for a given set of objects, running in limited resources environments, to meet their functional specification as determined by the designer. +- Ease of specification: For specifying the minimum recommended resources needed by the MHEG application. +- Ease of application: Minimum requirements of an application should be easily recognised by the negotiation process. +- Flexibility: The mechanism should be reliable across a broad range of system configurations and media formats. +- Informative rather than restrictive: The using application should have the final determination as to whether a given set of objects can be interpreted. +- Extensible/open: The representation should function correctly as New formats, classes, and application-dependent parameters are added. +- Scalability: Trade-off among different application platform capabilities, for example, resolution enhancement relative to presentation time. +- Composition: The minimum resource requirements for a given MHEG application should be combinable in some consistent and predictable manner when applications are combined. +- Graceful degradation: The primary concern of minimal resource systems is the manner in which degradation can be handled; an application should be able to express its policy with regard to this issue, for example, by using scalability and related mechanisms. +- Real-time interchange and presentation. +- Object placement optimisation: Objects that are likely to be accessed simultaneously are adjacent from the standpoint of the access mechanism. +- Progressive access of objects: Images may be retrieved and presented in increasing resolution for systems with significant presentation delay; scalable versions of objects may be represented and retrieved for systems with insufficient resources for full fidelity presentation. +- Partial object retrieval: Large objects may be retrieved in several portions, since the entire content will not be presented at one time. +- Object sequencing: The order in which objects are expected to be presented should be used by the access mechanism when insufficient throughput would lead to unacceptable delays for the whole object to be interchanged. + +- Separate retrieval of object description and object content: The object description should be retrieved without necessarily retrieving the content so that the system can use information about a set of objects to optimise the access for this set and resources needed for the access can be prepared. +- Global object index: A table of all objects and their position in an object set should be provided to support fast lookup of objects. +- Object interleaving: Objects that are to be retrieved simultaneously may be interleaved so that large objects do not cause delays for other objects. +- Resource requirements: Those for retrieval and presentation by the target system should be available by lookup rather than by derivation. +- Aggregate retrieval: A collection of objects can be aggregated so that they can be retrieved by one step rather than through a series of requests. +- Ability to reference individual media objects internally and externally. +- Ability to navigate in a hypermedia fashion. +- Ability to support arbitrary hyperlink transversal schemes. + +These requirements can be summarised in a set of generic needs: + +- application designers and distributors require application portability in a multi-vendor environment; +- applications must handle multimedia information structured in such a way that real-time interactivity (including acquisition of multimedia data), as well as real-time interchange of multimedia data can be ensured; +- applications must compose and synchronise multimedia data in space and time; +- applications must be able to define links between multimedia data elements; +- applications must be able to reuse multimedia data by integration in different contexts; +- applications must be able to frequently update the multimedia data, as well as to manipulate a set of data elements; +- applications must be able to be interpreted on different systems, from minimal resources to non-limited resources systems; +- applications must be interchanged and presented in real-time. + +These requirements have led to the definition of this Recommendation for multimedia and hypermedia information. + +### **0.3 Rationale for standardisation of multimedia and hypermedia information** + +The rationale for a standard defining multimedia and hypermedia information structures is based on the following considerations. + +- Standardisation, only at the level of monomedia information is not sufficient to guarantee application portability. Applications do not use the monomedia data separately but must define an associated set of parameters that are necessary for presentation. (Such parameters may include identification of the encoding algorithm applied to the data, decoding parameters relevant to the data, optional attributes to be used for presentation). +- Standardisation, only at the level of monomedia information, is not sufficient for the design and interchange of multimedia and hypermedia information. Multimedia and hypermedia applications rely on abstractions or data structures that provide features such as synchronisation links and logical links between monomedia data. +- The design and management of multimedia and hypermedia applications in distributed environments will be eased if the internal details of the information presentation are masked from the application by the use of appropriate abstractions. The application should deal only with functions such as management of information distribution, scheduling of presentation, management of the user dialogue, and other high-level activities. + +This Recommendation aims to provide generic multimedia/hypermedia information structures that fulfil these requirements and additionally are suited to: + +- real-time presentation using multimedia presentation and synchronisation facilities available on the application platform; +- real-time interchange using communication facilities available on the application platform; +- final-form representation in which the information is represented and coded for direct presentation without requiring additional processing of its structure. + +## 0.4 T.171 Objectives + +### 0.4.1 Interchange + +This Recommendation is intended to provide interchange facilities for various media types. The media data may be encoded according to other international standards, e.g. JPEG for still image, MPEG for video, or may be encapsulated using private and proprietary coding techniques. The interchange units defined by this Recommendation are handled by the MHEG engine under the control of a using application. + +In order to support multimedia interchange, as opposed to the interchange of multiple media, this Recommendation provides structures for the composition of different media types within a single unit of interchange. + +### 0.4.2 Presentation + +This Recommendation is intended to support final-form presentation of multiple media types. This Recommendation provides facilities for the identification of the coding technique to enable the use of the appropriate presentation resources on a specific platform. + +In order to support multimedia presentation, as opposed to the presentation of multiple media, this Recommendation provides structures for the composition of different media types in a presentation. This composition takes the form of time sequencing, spatial positioning, and logical interaction between the media. + +In addition, this Recommendation supports interaction with, and modification of, media data and its associated presentation attributes, e.g. size, position, and volume. + +Figure 0.1 illustrates the use of this Recommendation as an interchange unit and as an identifier of multimedia information encoded according to several International Standards. + +![Diagram illustrating the use of Recommendation T.171 for interchange and identification of multimedia information.

The following concepts are presented: + +- **MHEG classes; MHEG objects:** This Recommendation is a standard that defines object classes. From these classes, MHEG objects may be instantiated by the object designer (e.g. a computer program) and interchanged between using applications. Any number of MHEG objects may be instantiated from a given MHEG class. +- **Run time objects (rt-objects):** The MHEG model class is an MHEG abstract class, which provides the following MHEG classes: script, content, multiplexed content, and composite classes. From these model classes, model objects may be instantiated by the object designer and interchanged. In order to reuse the data interchanged in the model objects in different contexts, the object designer is able to create run-time objects, also called rt-objects, from a given model object: for example, the same data in a content object may be presented twice at the same time with different sizes using two rt-content objects, but the content object will be interchanged only once. Any number of rt-objects may be created from a given model object by the object designer. +- **Channels:** This Recommendation defines logical spaces in which the rt-objects are presented by the user. + +### 0.5.1 Object orientation + +This Recommendation defines a classification of structures corresponding to units of multimedia/hypermedia information to be interchanged. This classification is based on an analysis of the common behaviour and properties of multimedia/hypermedia information and takes the form of an object-oriented approach to the standardisation. This approach results in autonomous and reusable information structures that are generic to multimedia/hypermedia applications. + +In the context of this Recommendation, the term “class” denotes a structure of interchangeable multimedia/hypermedia information from which MHEG objects can be instantiated. This Recommendation makes use of the object-oriented mechanism of deriving subclasses from existing ones, together with the associated concept of inheritance. However, since MHEG objects have to be considered as data rather than executable code, no interference MHEG objects in the form of method signatures is defined. + +It should be understood that the use of an object-oriented approach to the definition of MHEG structures, does not imply that a system interpreting these structures must be based upon this approach. While this Recommendation defines an interchange format for multimedia/hypermedia information, it makes no assumptions about the internal representation of MHEG structures or the design of systems, engines, interpreters, tools, or using applications. + +The MHEG classes contain a level of complexity that is appropriate for use as generic structures in a wide range of using applications and domains. It is assumed that the semantics associated with the use of MHEG classes are defined at the application level and not at the level of this Recommendation. When using applications interchange multimedia/hypermedia information, they usually rely on interchange Services, which provide the appropriate support for the interchange of data. There are various levels of complexity of data interchange, as shown in Figure 0.2. + +In Figure 0.2, applications A and B may be seen as a single application by the user. + +Figure 0.2 shows interchange between using applications A and B and identifies the levels at which this interchange takes place. + +- Application level: This exchange (Appl) is not covered by this Recommendation. The using application may make use of a script interchange Standard at the next lower layer. +- Script level: This exchange (S) is covered by ISO/IEC 13522-3 and other Standards for hyperdocument and scriptware interchange and may make use of the MHEG object interchange Standard at the next lower layer. +- MHEG object level: This exchange (M) is the subject of this Recommendation. It makes use of Recommendations and Standards for the interchange of content data. +- Non-MHEG content data level: This exchange (C) is addressed by individual monomedia Recommendations and Standards. +- Other protocol element level: This exchange (OPE) of elements such as messages and acknowledgements is required by the application but is not addressed by this Recommendation. + +This model also shows the need to address the binding of the script to the MHEG objects and of MHEG objects to the content data. + +![Diagram of the Multimedia/hypermedia interchange model showing five levels of interchange between two applications, A and B.](e180f2b5fcbe8001554a7c0677cd3f82_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the Multimedia/hypermedia interchange model. It shows two applications, A and B, interacting at five levels. The levels are represented by boxes in the center, with arrows indicating the flow of data between the applications and the interchange level. The levels are: Application (Appl), Script (S), MHEG object with its content data (M), Non-MHEG content data (C), and Other protocol element (OPE).

Instances of these coded representations are MHEG objects and represent the data to be interchanged and presented by multimedia/hypermedia applications. + +The base-coded representation makes use of Recommendation X.680 “Specification of Abstract Syntax Notation One” (ASN.1) and Recommendation X.690 “Specification of Basic Encoding Rules for ASN.1” and is described in this Recommendation. + +Alternative coded representations may be provided. Their coded representation should be isomorphic to the base-coded representation. These different notations and encoding schemes are alternatives used to express the same and unique representation of the MHEG objects. + +### 0.5.3 Overview of the MHEG classes + +The classes defined in this Recommendation can be used to specify: + +- objects containing media information; +- relationship between objects; +- dynamic behaviour of objects; +- information to optimise the real-time handling of objects. + +The following instantiable classes are defined in this Recommendation. + +#### 0.5.3.1 Content class + +The content class is a model class; it contains or refers to the coded representation of media information together with a parameter set containing information required for content presentation. This parameter set contains an identification of the coding method and a field for the specification of application-oriented parameters (e.g. fonts and colour table). The content class also specifies the original size, duration and volume of the data. These values are expressed using generic space and temporal units. From content class, multiplexed content objects can be derived; content objects that are not multiplexed are called pure content object or non-mux content object. + +#### 0.5.3.2 Multiplexed content class + +The multiplexed content class is a model class that is a subclass of the content class. It contains or refers to the coded representation of a multiplexed media data together with a description of each multiplexed stream. + +#### 0.5.3.3 Composite class + +The composite class is a model class; it provides the support for associating multimedia and hypermedia objects. This mechanism provides a consistent approach to the linking and synchronisation in time, space, of a set of objects. This class also provides a logical structure to describe the list of possible interactions offered to the user, but does not define the interaction facilities provided by the user interface. Such interaction may be achieved in a variety of ways, e.g. graphical user interface and keyboards. This Recommendation does not define the look and feel of multimedia interactive presentations, nor does it propose to change or add concepts to those existing in typical graphical user interfaces. As this Recommendation is generic and independent of platform and implementation, it describes interaction at a virtual level. It is for a using application to apply these mechanisms using its specific look and feel. + +#### 0.5.3.4 Action class + +This Recommendation provides an initial behaviour for each MHEG object, run-time object (rt-object), and channel, e.g. default position of an rt-content and provides also a means to modify the initial behaviour of each object by defining a list of elementary actions to be applied to the objects. The modification of the behaviour is achieved by interchanging the corresponding elementary actions within action objects. The action objects are used within a link object to describe the link effect. + +The action class defines a structure that specifies a synchronised set of elementary actions to be applied to one or more targets. + +#### 0.5.3.5 Elementary actions + +This Recommendation defines elementary actions that can affect the following behaviours of an MHEG object, an rt-object, or a channel. + +- **Preparation:** Actions are provided to control the availability of the MHEG object in the system. For example, Prepare and Destroy actions may be applied to add and remove an MHEG object from the system. +- **Creation of run-time objects (rt-objects):** The New action is provided to create rt-objects (rt-script, rt-component) from a model object (script, component); the Delete action is provided to destroy them. + +**Presentation:** Actions are provided to control the progress of the rt-components in the system. For example, Run and Stop actions may be applied to control the progression of a time-based rt-component. + +- **Rendition:** Actions are provided to control the projection of the rt-component on the system. These actions vary according to the media type. For example, Set GTF action to change the presentation speed for time-based media and Set OVS action to change the presentation size for visible media. +- **Interaction:** Actions are provided to control the results of interaction with an rt-component in the system. For example, Set Interaction Ability action specifies the selectability and the modifiability of an rt-component. +- **Activation:** Actions are provided to control the activation of the rt-scripts in the system. For example, Run and Stop actions. + +#### 0.5.3.6 Get actions + +This Recommendation also defines a means to retrieve the behaviour of an MHEG object, an rt-object or a channel. Actions are provided to get the behaviour attribute or status value of MHEG objects, rt-objects and channels. These actions are called “get actions”. The result of a get action is a generic value or the value “undefined” when an error condition occurs. The get actions are used to express the source and the comparison value of the link condition in a link object or as any parameter of an elementary action. + +#### 0.5.3.7 Link class + +The link class defines a structure that specifies a set of relationships. Each relationship is defined between one or more sources and one or more targets. The relationship is composed of conditions associated with the sources (link condition) and actions to be applied to the targets (link effect). The actions, which are described in action objects, are to be applied to the targets when the conditions are satisfied. + +The source and target can be instances of any MHEG class, including link class and action class. The source and targets can also be any run-time objects. + +Instances of the link class are used to specify the time sequencing, spatial positioning, or logical interaction between MHEG objects and run-time objects. + +#### 0.5.3.8 Script class + +The script class is a model class. It defines a container for complex relationship between MHEG objects, run-time objects and channels, specified in a script language. This Recommendation does not define the script language itself but provides the script class to encapsulate a script and an indication of the language used. + +It is assumed that the script language used in a script object is able to reference MHEG objects, rt-objects, and channels, and also to access their attributes. Recommendation T.174 defines an interface to MHEG entities for this purpose and Recommendation T.173 defines a Script interchange Format. + +#### 0.5.3.9 Descriptor class + +The descriptor class defines a structure for the interchange of resource information about a single or a set of other interchanged objects. The described objects are called “related” objects. The information can be used to facilitate a correspondence between the resources required to present the objects and the resources available to the system, or to perform a negotiation between the source of the MHEG objects and the presentation site. + +#### 0.5.3.10 Container class + +The container class provides a means to regroup multimedia and hypermedia data in order to interchange them as a whole set. + +### 0.5.4 Run-time objects (rt-objects) + +For the purpose of reusing model objects (script, component objects) in different presentations or activation, a clear separation is made between the interchanged model object, which contains the reusable data or composition, and the rt-object corresponding to a specific view of the model data or composition. + +The rt-objects (rt-script, rt-content, rt-multiplexed content, and rt-composite objects) are created by the object designer using the MHEG action New. The presentation or activation of an rt-object does not affect the model object; this allows the reuse of a same model object in different rt-objects. + +### **0.5.5 Channels** + +A channel is a logical space in which the rt-components (rt-content and rt-composite objects) are presented and perceived by the user. The channels are created by the object designer using an MHEG action. The object designer may provide information in the descriptor object to facilitate the mapping by the MHEG engine of the logical channels to the real world. + +## **0.6 The MHEG application interface** + +This Recommendation does not define an Application Programming Interface (API) for the handling of objects in a system. However, it is assumed that the MHEG engine provides facilities to support the actions defined in this Recommendation for use by the using application. + +## **0.7 T.171 extensibility** + +The scope of the classes defined in this Recommendation is compatible with their use in a wide range of applications and domains. It is recognised that certain applications may require specific functionality not directly provided by the classes, e.g. a using application may require the use of specialised resources available on a given platform. In this case, additional resources, which are not provided directly by this Recommendation, may be associated with the MHEG objects. This association is defined by using one of the following techniques. These techniques do not change the coded representation of the facilities defined by this Recommendation (see clause 15): + +- 1) extension of elementary actions; +- 2) extension of attributes of an MHEG object, an rt-object or a channel; +- 3) extension of data types, classifications, styles, events, channel media types; +- 4) addition of new object classes. + +NOTE – This facility may be used for example to create and manipulate new attributes such as payment or colour, or to vary some speech modulation parameter in an audio object. + +For 1) through 3), a registration procedure and catalogues are provided by ISO/IEC 13522-4. This allows users to define extensions without significant reduction of portability. This extension allows users to use proprietary or registered catalogues (see clauses 14 and 15.1). An MHEG engine can take any catalogue entry into account and thereby introduces the New extension process; another MHEG engine with no extensions may ignore the extension. + +The addition of New object classes implies an appropriate adaptation of MHEG engine for interpretation of the new classes, which limits the usage of MHEG objects of these classes to that MHEG engine. + +# **1 Scope** + +The scope of this Recommendation is the coded representation of final-form multimedia and hypermedia information objects that will be interchanged as units within or across services and applications, by any means of interchange (e.g. storage, local area network, wide area telecommunication, broadcast telecommunications or broadcast networks). These objects define the structure of a multimedia presentation. + +These objects, hereafter called MHEG objects, provide the following functionalities supporting for: + +- final-form representation; +- systems with minimal resources; + +- interactivity and multimedia synchronisation; +- real-time presentation; +- real-time interchange, + +as a common base for many multimedia and hypermedia applications. + +This Recommendation defines the specifications of MHEG objects common to all types of coded representation and also defines one type of coded representation, the base-coded representation. + +## **1.1 Specificity of the scope** + +Since it is expected that a wide range of recommendations, standards, and user applications will be users of this Recommendation, the scope focuses on the generic structuring aspects. This Recommendation recognises the semantics implied by the specification of the MHEG objects but does not enforce any semantic interpretation by the using application. + +## **1.2 Issues outside T.171 scope** + +The scope excludes any standardisation of models, services, systems, protocols or applications that are likely to make use of MHEG objects. Integration of MHEG objects within these models, services, systems, protocols or applications, or interworking, are defined by other standardisation bodies within JTC1 or ITU-T. The generic part of the interface between MHEG objects and applications was defined through liaison and cooperation with those bodies. + +The coded representation of content data is not in the scope of this Recommendation. + +# **2 Conformance** + +The conformance is evaluated on interchanged objects. There is no consideration of conformance for a system, an engine, a process. + +An interchanged object is conformant if it can be correctly interpreted. This means that: + +- its ASN.1 encoding is correct (conformance of the concrete syntax); +- its ASN.1 notation is conformant to the grammar specified in this Recommendation (conformance of the abstract syntax). + +A conforming MHEG decoder shall recognise and decode all MHEG objects as defined in this Recommendation. + +## **2.1 Profiles** + +Profiles may be provided by the using applications. + +## **2.2 Syntax** + +Conformance is on the base representation (this Recommendation). An MHEG object instance is represented using the ASN.1. + +Conformance at the level of the coded representation is ensured by the use of international standards for the encoding of the syntax. + +## **2.3 Semantics** + +This Recommendation provides an encoded representation for expressing an expected behaviour of objects, such as relationship in time and space, but does not define techniques that might handle such relations between the objects. + +### 3 Normative References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid.

These component objects has the sibling relationship. Therefore, a composite object is said to define one generation of component objects. Several generations may be made if another composite objects are attached in the sockets. As an rt-composite is created from a composite object, an rt-composite also defines some generations. + +**4.31 generic value:** One of generic boolean, generic numeric, generic integer, generic ratio, generic string, generic reference, or generic list. It may be a constant or an evaluated value. + +**4.32 get action:** Targeted to an MHEG entity and specifies the requested attribute or status value to be evaluated. The result of a get action is to provide a generic value. This generic value is used in the context of the evaluation and is a local value. If the same get action is processed in two different links in parallel, there are two generic values resulting from these two evaluations. These two generic values may be different. A get action can be used and interchanged when a value is allowed, for example, as a parameter of an elementary action or a get action, as a source value or comparison value in a link object. + +NOTE – Examples of get actions: Get Preparation Status (target) and Get Running Status (target). + +**4.33 hook:** An attribute of the content class and script class containing encoding and decoding information enabling the use of data.

Representation and presentation media are to be differentiated for virtuality and portability (device independence) purposes. A given character string (coded representation) can be presented using different means (screen, paper, loudspeaker after text-to-speech synthesis). The same command can be input by the user through different equivalent means (for example, selection in a list with a mouse, a tactile screen, with digits plus validation key, with a keyboard to input the corresponding character string, or even through a microphone with a voice recognition system allowing recognition of a limited vocabulary including the name of the above-mentioned command.). + +NOTE – This is a weak definition because this term has different meanings depending on the context. Thus, the term is to be avoided in its stand-alone form. To be unambiguous, it should be only used in expressions such as perception medium, representation medium, presentation medium, storage medium, transmission medium. + +**4.47 MH object class:** An MHEG object class that is the root of MHEG class hierarchy. It defines attributes common to all other MHEG classes. + +**4.48 MHEG class:** An MHEG object class defined by this Recommendation. + +**4.49 MHEG effect:** The effect caused by the processing of an elementary action or a get action, which changes or retrieves some internal state. + +**4.50 MHEG engine:** A pseudo-mechanism that may consist of a process or a set of processes that interpret MHEG objects encoded according to the encoding specifications of this Recommendation. + +NOTE – The way of implementing the MHEG engine is outside the scope of this Recommendation does not define any ingredients inside the MHEG engine. + +**4.51 MHEG entity; entity:** Any MHEG object, rt-object, or channel. + +**4.52 MHEG object:** A coded representation of a multimedia and/or hypermedia object that conforms to this Recommendation. + +**4.53 minimal resources:** A system with minimal buffering capacity, minimal throughput of communication channels, limited computational power. + +**4.54 model object:** An instance of an MHEG class that represents a script object or a component object. + +**4.55 multimedia representation:** The property of handling several types of representation media. + +NOTES + +1 – The term multimedia is an adjective; it shall be used attached to a noun that provides the context (e.g. multimedia service or application, multimedia terminal, multimedia network, multimedia presentation). + +2 – In this Recommendation, multimedia is used in the sense of multiple representation media. Hence, a remote processing service or videotex, using a keyboard and a textual display, is not multimedia, as the interaction involves only one medium (text). + +3 – An MHEG object within a multimedia service or application may contain only one representation medium. + +**4.56 multiplex:** A means to combine two or more streams of information into one unique encoding scheme to achieve simultaneous presentation or exchange. + +**4.57 multiplexed content object:** An instance of an MHEG class that provides a single consistent structure for the interchange of any multiplexed presentation data. + +**4.58 new, new channel, available:** An elementary action which causes an rt-object or a channel to become available to the MHEG engine for further processing (e.g. presentation). The rt-object or the channel is said to be available. + +**4.59 non-mux content object:** A pure content object, that is, not a multiplexed content object. + +**4.60 null:** A specific value indicating nothing. + +**4.61 null data:** Null data is generated by the MHEG engine when referenced by the use of a reserved identifier: “Null-Data”. The null data may replace any kind of data. Actions performed on an rt-script/rt-content made from a script object/content object with a null data are not ignored. The user effect of such action is defined by the hook and classification information provided in the model object. + +**4.62 null MHEG object:** A null object is generated by the MHEG engine when referenced by the use of a reserved identifier: “Null-MH”. The null object may replace any object of any MHEG class. An action performed on a null MHEG object causes a null effect. + +**4.63 null root rt-object:** A null root rt-object is generated by the MHEG engine when referenced by the use of a reserved identifier: “Null-Root-Rt”. The null root rt-object may replace any root rt-object. An action performed on a null root rt-object causes a null effect. + +**4.64 object:** A finite, independent, self-defining piece of information that can be manipulated as a whole by MHEG engines and interchanged as one unit. + +NOTES + +1 – Within the context of this Recommendation, the object can be of multiple types (e.g. action, link, script, content, composite, descriptor, or container object). + +2 – “Self-defining” implies that the object contains or refers to the information necessary for its handling. + +3 – The definition is not restricted to digitally-coded objects, but may also be applied to analogue objects (e.g. a videodisk sequence). + +**4.65 object class:** Any category of objects that have a specific and homogeneous template (that is, characteristics and behaviour as relevant to the contained information and to their actions modifying their behaviour). + +**4.66 parent-child relationship:** Relationship existing when the parent object is a composite object that contains or refers to a child object. + +**4.67 perception medium:** The nature of the information as perceived by a human being (e.g. speech, noise, music, text, drawings, moving, scenes). + +**4.68 plug:** An elementary action that attaches an rt-component into a socket. + +**4.69 prepare; prepared; ready:** An elementary action that causes an object to become available to the MHEG engine for further processing (e.g. presentation).

It consists of a temporal axis, three dimensional spatial axes and an audible volume range. +- 4.73 projection:** A presentation space of a socket may be mapped into the presentation space of its parent or a channel presentation space, changing its temporal position, size or volume. The mapping is called projection. A root rt-component is always projected into a channel presentation space. A number of elementary actions are used to achieve such projection. +- 4.74 real-time interchange:** The ability to interchange objects between systems within deadlines needed for the presentation schedule to be satisfied. This implies a constant limited delay. Specifically, time-based media and time-synchronised objects have presentation requirements that may not be satisfied by the buffering. +- 4.75 real-time presentation and interaction:** The ability to present objects within a constant delay. Intrinsically time-based (e.g. audio, video) objects or objects that have time-behaviour or time-constraints (e.g. synchronisation) are concerned. +- 4.76 real-time system:** To perform operations in a way that gives the user the impression of happening immediately. A real time system means a system with only constant delay. In a wider sense a limited delay and jitter could be accepted. In the context of certain media (e.g. audio, video), real time implies a presentation that meets the original time base requirements. +- 4.77 render:** The ability to show a certain object in a specific way to the user. A number of elementary actions are used to achieve such specific rendering. +- 4.78 representation medium:** The type of the interchanged data that defines the nature of the information as described by its coded form. + +#### NOTES + +1 – Examples of representation media information and their possible coded forms: + +- Characters or text: Telex, ASCII, EBCDIC. +- Graphics: CEPT, NAPLPS or CAPTAIN videotex, CGM. +- Audio: Recommendation G.711, MIDI, MPEG Audio. +- Still picture: Fax group 3, JBIG, JPEG. +- Audio visual sequence: CCIR Recommendation 601 plus associated audio: MPEG. + +2 – The representation medium is defined independently of the direction of interchange (i.e. to or from the user or between equipment). Each representation medium may be used for both input or output, e.g. character-type representation may be used for both text display and text input from a keyboard; graphics-type representation may be used for both graphic display and graphic input (location) from a mouse. Audio-type or picture-type representations may be used both for reproduction and capture. + +- 4.79 representation of an object:** A description of the object structure and its contents. +- 4.80 root rt-component:** A non-plugged rt-component. A root rt-component addresses either a root rt-composite or a root rt-content. +- 4.81 root rt-composite:** An rt-composite that is not plugged. +- 4.82 root rt-content:** An rt-content that is not plugged. A root rt-content addresses either a root rt-non-mux or a root rt-mux. +- 4.83 root rt-mux:** An rt-mux that is not plugged. +- 4.84 root rt-non-mux:** An rt-non-mux that is not plugged. + +- 4.85     rt-component:** An rt-component addresses either a root rt-component or an rt-component socket. +- 4.86     rt-component socket:** A socket in which an rt-component is plugged. An rt-component socket addresses either an rt-composite socket or an rt-content socket. +- 4.87     rt-composite:** A run-time object created from a model composite object.

An rt-composite addresses either a root rt-composite or an rt-composite socket. +- 4.88     rt-composite socket:** An rt-composite that is plugged. +- 4.89     rt-content:** A run-time object created from a model content object. An rt-content addresses either a root rt-content or an rt-content socket. +- 4.90     rt-content socket:** An rt-content that is plugged. An rt-content socket addresses either an rt-non-mux socket or an rt-mux socket. +- 4.91     rt-mux:** A run-time content created from a model multiplexed content object. An rt-mux addresses either a root rt-mux or an rt-mux socket. +- 4.92     rt-mux socket:** An rt-mux that is plugged. +- 4.93     rt-non-mux:** A run-time content created from a pure model content object, i.e. not from a multiplexed content object. An rt-non-mux addresses either a root rt-non-mux or an rt-non-mux socket. +- 4.94     rt-non-mux socket:** An rt-non-mux that is plugged. +- 4.95     rt-object, run-time object:** A run-time object created from a model object. For the purpose of reusing model objects in different contexts, a clear separation has been made between the MHEG model interchange object that contains the original definition and the rt-object corresponding to a specific usage of the model. The use of an rt-object does not affect the model object. This allows the reuse of the same model object in different rt-objects. A model object is considered a template. Any number of rt-objects may be created based on instructions given by the author, i.e. action New. This Recommendation defines an initial behaviour of each rt-object and actions that will modify and retrieve this behaviour. The internal representation of the rt-objects is not defined by the standard. Each MHEG engine may have its own internal representation technique. However, this Recommendation defines the identification techniques to reference an rt-object in order to modify or to retrieve its behaviour. +- An rt-object addresses either an rt-script or an rt-component. +- 4.96     rt-script:** A run-time object created from a model script object. +- 4.97     run-time process:** An ability to process an interpreted code in an MHEG engine. +- 4.98     script object:** An instance of an MHEG class defining a structure to interchange script data in a specified encoded form. +- 4.99     scriptware; script software:** A process or set of processes that handle scripts. +- 4.100    sequencing:** The ordering of the preparation of objects, as specified by the object designer, that makes best use of the available resources to produce an acceptable presentation. +- 4.101    sibling relationship:** Relationship between sockets of a given generation within an rt-composite. + +**4.102 socket:** The elements of an rt-composite in that rt-components are plugged are called sockets. Therefore, a socket is equivalent to an rt-component that is plugged. Once an rt-component is plugged, it can be referenced only via its socket identification. Different types of sockets are defined depending on the rt-component plugged into the socket: empty socket, rt-content socket (an rt-non-mux socket or an rt-mux socket) and rt-composite socket. + +**4.103 status:** A value representing the current state of an object within the MHEG engine. + +NOTE – The processes composing the MHEG engine are outside the scope of this Recommendation. However, this Recommendation requires a mechanism for evaluating the different statuses of objects within the MHEG engine. + +**4.104 storage media:** The means used to store information (e.g. electronic memory, floppy disk, hard disk, optical disk, magnetic tape). + +**4.105 structure of an object; MHEG object structure:** A description of how the information in an object is organised. + +**4.106 synchronisation:** The presentation of rt-components in time and space according to constraints and relationship defined between those objects.

This marker may be used to trigger links. + +**4.109 transition duration:** An optional parameter that may be provided for certain elementary actions, e.g. Set Current Volume (target set, audible volume, transition duration). A transition duration is expressed in GTU. When a transition duration is specified, the corresponding elementary action is to be processed during the specified duration, e.g. the audible volume value changes gradually from its previous value to the specified value within the specified transition duration. + +**4.110 transmission media:** The means used to transmit information (e.g. twisted pair, coaxial cables, optical fibres, radio links). + +**4.111 trigger condition:** A part of a link condition describing a change of an attribute or status value.

It becomes useful in a multimedia application. A multimedia application needs some method by which multimedia objects can be described and represented in an application-independent way for interchanging them with other applications. In this context, this Recommendation provides the means of multimedia object interchange in the form of MHEG objects. + +#### 6.2 The object-oriented approach + +This Recommendation uses some object-oriented techniques like object classes and inheritance. This subclause describes the specific usage of object-oriented concepts within this Recommendation. + +##### 6.2.1 Object classes + +This Recommendation uses the term of “object class” solely for denoting structures of interchangeable multimedia/hypermedia objects. As such, MHEG classes specify the structure of MHEG objects rather than their interfaces. Especially, MHEG does not specify methods as part of classes (or their interfaces, respectively). + +The purpose of this approach is that MHEG objects be considered as information entities that are interpreted by an appropriate process, i.e. the MHEG engine, to realise behaviour. + +##### 6.2.2 Subclasses and inheritance + +This Recommendation uses the concept of deriving new classes from existing ones. Subclasses inherit all structure from their superclass (i.e. the class they are subclass of) and add new attributes with the aim to add new behaviours or replace inherited ones with the aim to adapt existing behaviours. + +### 6.2.3 Polymorphism + +The MHEG engine can perform certain actions on MHEG objects, e.g. prepare them for further usage or set some attribute values. Polymorphism applies to these actions. Polymorphism means that if the application of an action is valid for objects of a certain class, it is also valid for objects of all their subclasses, but the effect may be different for different classes. Polymorphism is a way to represent that the parent has a generic (common) behaviour and that each of the children could have a specific behaviour. + +For example, the implementation of a Run action targeted to a run-time content object representing a text is different from the implementation of that targeted to a run-time multiplexed content object representing MPEG bitstream. The generic common behaviour is the presentation (run) of the instance, and the specific part for the video is to present video. + +### 6.2.4 Objects and object life cycles + +Three forms of MHEG objects are distinguished within this Recommendation as shown in Figure 2: + +- 1) The interchangeable multimedia/hypermedia-information, encoded according to Annex A. +- 2) The representation within the MHEG engine, usable for internal purposes (e.g. MHEG object stored in its native internal representation, computation of link conditions). +- 3) Copies of 2), usable for presentation by the user. These are referred to as rt-objects. + +![Diagram illustrating the different forms of MHEG objects and their life cycle.](fb18a83d10ebdad8e3e5ea2e86b36136_img.jpg) + +The diagram is divided into two main sections: 'Scope of this Recommendation' and 'Presentation environment (MHEG engine)'. In the 'Scope of this Recommendation' section, an 'MHEG class' (represented by a circle) leads to 'Form 1 object' (represented by a stack of rectangles) via an arrow labeled 'Creation (instantiation)'. Below 'Form 1 object' is the text 'for interchange'. In the 'Presentation environment (MHEG engine)' section, 'Form 1 object' leads to 'Form 2 object' (represented by a stack of rectangles) via an arrow labeled 'Conversion to internal format'. Below 'Form 2 object' is the text 'for internal use'. 'Form 2 object' then leads to 'Form 3 object' (represented by a stack of rectangles) via an arrow labeled 'Preparing for presentation'. Below 'Form 3 object' is the text 'for presentation'. The diagram is identified by the code 'T0825510-96/d004' at the bottom right. + +Diagram illustrating the different forms of MHEG objects and their life cycle. + +Figure 2/T.171 – The different forms of MHEG objects + +Basically, the life cycle of form 1) objects is out of the scope of this Recommendation. Once they are created by some encoding mechanism as instances of concrete MHEG classes, they remain in existence, e.g. in a repository until destroyed by means not covered by this Recommendation. However, if an MHEG object of form 1), which may be a copy of some original object, is received by an MHEG engine, it is converted into form 2). The form 2) remains in existence until a Destroy action is applied to it. The form 3) comes into existence whenever a New action is applied to an appropriate form 2) object (i.e. a model object), resulting in a copy of this object but of form 3), which can be presented and may have its attribute values changed. Form 3) objects are removed from existence by use of a Delete action. + +It should be noted that forms 2) and 3) objects live within a presentation environment, i.e. the MHEG engine. This implies that they are assumed to be extinct whenever the presentation environment vanishes. + +## 6.3 Technical features + +In this subclause, some technical features achieved by this Recommendation are described. + +Because of the generic nature of this Recommendation, nothing prevents an user for combining the following facilities. However, an using application may impose rules to implement a more appropriate architecture. + +### 6.3.1 Object composition for interchange and presentation + +Two techniques for object composition are used and provided by this Recommendation. One is the container concept provided by the container class which is used as an information packing tool to convey multimedia and hypermedia information. The other is the presentation composition provided by the composite class which is used as an information presentation tool under the control of a multimedia and hypermedia scenario. + +The container class enables the combination of a set of multimedia and hypermedia objects to be interchanged between storage systems and presentation systems. The container class groups a set of objects to be interchanged as a whole, taking into account the needs of minimal resource systems. By using this mechanism, the efficient exchange of multimedia data between heterogeneous systems can be achieved on their needs, for example. When objects in a container are to be used in a presentation, a certain number of preparation action is required before the object can participate in this presentation. + +Figure 3 illustrates the use of this Recommendation as an interchange unit and as an identifier of multimedia information encoded according to other International Standards. + +The composite class enables the combination of a set of multimedia and hypermedia objects to be presented. It provides a common presentation facility for those objects included in it, and describes presentations varying from the simplest monomedia object to complex multimedia and hypermedia interactions. + +![Diagram illustrating the interchange and identification of multimedia information. A large container box holds four smaller boxes, each representing a multimedia object. The objects are labeled JPEG, JBIG, MPEG, and TEXT. Each object box contains a small square icon and a label. The container box has a handle on top.](d8698aacaeead6dfed9a1e448670a2e4_img.jpg) + +The diagram shows a large rectangular container box with a handle on top. Inside the container, there are four smaller boxes arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each of these smaller boxes also has a handle on top and contains a small square icon and a label. The labels are 'JPEG', 'JBIG', 'MPEG', and 'TEXT' from top-left to bottom-right. The icons are small squares, some of which are shaded. The entire container box is labeled 'T0825520-96/d005' at the bottom right. + +Diagram illustrating the interchange and identification of multimedia information. A large container box holds four smaller boxes, each representing a multimedia object. The objects are labeled JPEG, JBIG, MPEG, and TEXT. Each object box contains a small square icon and a label. The container box has a handle on top. + +Figure 3/T.171 – Interchange and identification of multimedia information + +### 6.3.2 Run-time objects + +For the purpose of reusing objects in different contexts, a clear separation is to be made between an interchange object, called **model object**, and a run-time object, called **rt-object**. The model object corresponds to original reusable information. It is an instance of an MHEG object class containing script data, monomedia, multimedia and/or hypermedia information. An rt-object represents one specific use of the model object. It is used for presentation. Any number of rt-objects may be created from a single model object. + +The internal representation of rt-objects is not defined by this Recommendation. Each MHEG engine may have its own internal representation technique. The activation and attribute modification of an rt-object do not affect the original model object. This allows the reuse of the same original model object in different contexts. + +NOTE – For example, in a hockey game, two content objects are needed: B (blue team) and R (red team). Content B contains the original drawings of a blue team hockey player and content R contains the original drawings of a red team hockey player. Several rt-contents can be made from these model content objects as follows: + +- Rt-contents 1 to 10, corresponding to the 10 hockey players from the blue team, are created from the content B. +- Rt-contents 11 to 20, corresponding to the 10 hockey players from the red team, are created from the content R. + +All the information related to the presentation is described for each rt-content. For example, rt-contents 1 to 6 (blue team) and 11 to 16 (red team) have different positions on the rink. Rt-contents 7 to 10 have positions on the blue team bench, and rt-contents 17 to 20 have positions on the red team bench. + +The presented size of each rt-content may be different. And the presentation attributes may be evaluated on each rt-content, in order to know at a precise moment if a player (i.e. an rt-content) is in a hospital (not running) or on the ice (running). + +### 6.3.3 Individual behaviour common to all rt-objects created from a given model object + +This Recommendation offers a mechanism to describe individual behaviour common to all the rt-objects, that may be created from a given model object. The advantages of this facility are: + +- the behaviour is described only once and applies to all the rt-objects; +- the object designer is able to describe a common individual behaviour without knowing the number of rt-objects to be created from the given model object; +- once prepared, the link applies to all rt-objects already created as well as future made rt-objects. + +This facility is provided by the “?” tail reference techniques (see 11.3). + +### 6.3.4 Synchronisation + +Essentially, multimedia object synchronisation mechanisms are categorised into four classes as follows: + +- Elementary synchronisation: Two objects are synchronised either: + - both with regard to the same reference origin time (parallel mode); or + - one with regard to the other (sequential mode). +- Chained synchronisation: A set of objects is to be presented one after another in the form of a chain. +- Cyclic synchronisation: One or more objects is to be repetitively presented. +- Conditional synchronisation: The presentation of an object is linked to the satisfaction of a condition. + +In this Recommendation, these four classes of synchronisation are provided in a single describing manner, which is the conditional synchronisation. + +Multimedia object synchronisation levels are categorised into the following four levels: + +- 1) Script: The script may contain complex synchronisation taking into account user replies, calculated values, and the state of system resources, for example: + - Script synchronisation is not defined by this Recommendation. +- 2) Conditional: The current state of the presented object may trigger a reflex action to another object, e.g. “when the audio has finished, ask the question”. + +- 3) Spatio-temporal: Position in time and space of one object may be relative to another, e.g. “show the product name 2 cm above the image, 2 s after the presentation of the image”. +- 4) Intermedia: Close synchronisation within a multiplexed content object, e.g. “lip sync” for movies. + +Intermedia synchronisation is provided by other standards such as MPEG. + +### **6.3.5 Links** + +MHEG links are associative, dynamic, and event driven. There are many types of links; however, they may be categorised into two types as follows: + +- 1) Object Synchronisation Link: Describes the synchronisation among multimedia objects. +- 2) Hyperlink: Describes the object relationship in the sense of context. Any related hypermedia objects are linked by this mechanism. + +This Recommendation provides both types of links by a single mechanism of object linking within link object. + +The set of MHEG links is highly dynamic. Links may be added and removed at any time and may be conditional depending on user activity and previous performance in order to adapt the behaviour during the life of the presentations. + +The MHEG links are driven by a change of MHEG entity behaviour, e.g. an object becomes ready, or the volume of an rt-content increases. Each link describes a change that may trigger it and the effect that it will have. + +MHEG links are fully resolved and require no further processing other than their direct execution. + +### **6.3.6 Input** + +In order to support interactive multimedia/hypermedia systems, it is essential to provide some mechanism user input. In this Recommendation, the list of possible interactions offered to the user is described using composite objects. Input is considered a behaviour and is based on selection and modification behaviours of rt-components. + +This Recommendation provides facilities to describe the results of the user interaction but does not provide the interaction facilities. Such interaction may be achieved in a variety of ways, e.g. GUIs (Graphical User Interface) and keyboards. This Recommendation does not define the look-and-feel of multimedia interactive presentations, nor does it propose to change or add concepts to those that exist in typical GUIs. As this Recommendation is generic and independent of platform and implementation, it describes interaction at a virtual level. + +### **6.3.7 Event handling** + +MHEG objects are able to interact with events through event handling mechanisms. An event is generated by either the outer system or the MHEG engine itself. + +When an event is generated, the MHEG engine sets the corresponding catalogued event identification to the event attribute and, if needed, associated information to the event data attribute of the rt-object or channel that should receive this event. For example, a mouse click event on a button generated by the GUI can be sent to an rt-object as event number 10 with associated x-y position information. + +Event handling mechanisms may be used for general purpose synchronisation and interaction mechanism. + +### **6.3.8 Anchor** + +In order to support hypertext and hypermedia, this Recommendation provides an anchor mechanism. An anchor is a content object that holds anchor information rather than media data. This anchor information defines an area within another content object data. This area is to be presented on the other data by the GUI with the rendering specified within the objects or using a specified style. As the anchor is interchanged within a content object, rt-content can be created from the content object and all the behaviours of rt-content apply, e.g. running, selection. + +### 6.3.9 Real time + +This Recommendation has no control over and makes no assumptions about the quality or capability of the underlying networks through which using applications may interchange MHEG objects. There may already exist some LANs (Local Area Network) that could meet all the capacity requirements for real-time interchange of applications, and future standards may specify some WANs (Wide Area Network) with appropriate capabilities. This Recommendation deals with these uncertain circumstances in two ways: + +- This Recommendation allows the author to define a set of specifications that would necessarily have to be satisfied to ensure real-time applications regardless of the interchange media capabilities. In addition, the MHEG object specification provides mechanisms that ease real-time interchange independent of the underlying network capabilities. +- An MHEG descriptor object provides the following: + - a description of objects to be supported by the system; + - a description of media encoding; + - a system-readable material and a read-me mechanism by which communicating applications can negotiate an optimum interchange session. In this regard, the descriptor object provides a placeholder for references to other standards that are needed for allocation of network resources among complementary and competing applications; + - offset information of objects. + +Requirements for real-time capability are satisfied as follows: + +- Object placement optimisation and the progressive access of objects are the responsibility of the using application. Object offset information may be used to achieve quick retrieval of a certain object encoding in another object. +- The partial object retrieval, object sequencing, and separate retrieval of object description and object content are features of the Prepare and Destroy actions usage and process. +- The resource requirements are supported by the MHEG descriptor object. +- The object interleaving is supported by the MHEG multiplexed content object. This Recommendation does not provide interleaving facilities but supports the indication of interleaved objects. +- Aggregate retrieval is supported by the MHEG container object. + +### 6.3.10 Object management + +#### 6.3.10.1 Object identification + +General object identification is needed for copyright, owner identification, and unique identification. This Recommendation provides a description mechanism for this information in an MHEG object. And among this description mechanism, the unique identification mechanism is a key for the processing of MHEG objects inside the MHEG engine. + +An internal identifier and an external identifier are provided in order to support unique identification. These identifiers are used to reference objects. The internal identifier is an encoded identifier within an MHEG object and consists of an identifier or an index. The external identifier acts as a connector between MHEG object domain and entities outside of the MHEG domain and consists of a public identifier and a system identifier. + +This Recommendation also provides symbolic identification using aliases. This identification may replace any other identifications. + +#### 6.3.10.2 Object reference + +Reference to local and remote objects, as an alternative to physical inclusion is needed. This Recommendation provides a generic reference mechanism to any entity defined by this Recommendation. + +### 6.3.10.3 Object content + +A uniform interface to content data is needed. This Recommendation provides this mechanism in the description of content class. + +### 6.3.10.4 Uniform objects + +An uniform view of objects by using applications is needed. This Recommendation provides this uniform view by means of MHEG object hierarchy. + +### 6.3.11 Minimal resources + +Extraction of relevant component data on a timely basis for minimal resource systems is considered in this Recommendation. There are several aspects: + +- 1) **Inter-object interleaving:** This is outside the scope of this Recommendation because it is a system issue. MHEG does not provide interleaving facilities but supports the indication of interleaved objects by the use of the multiplexed content object. +- 2) **Sequencing:** This is defined in this Recommendation by a specific use of the Prepare action. +- 3) **Degradation and negotiation of required resources:** The descriptor objects provide complementary information about a set of interchanged objects useful for the degradation of some presentation and the negotiation of minimal resources requirements. + +### 6.3.12 Presentation and structuring dynamism + +Once a run-time composite, called an rt-composite, is made from an original composite object, the rt-components attached to the sockets may be removed or replaced using the plub action. This allows dynamism in the presentation if the plugged rt-contents are changed and a dynamism in the structure of the rt-composite, if the plugged rt-composites are changed. + +### 6.3.13 Macro action and link + +The macro facility provides a general technique for producing efficient coding of frequently used action objects in which only a few values change from one link to another. The same applies on frequent link conditions in which only a few values change from one link to another. This allows the sharing and reuse of complex behaviours. An author may create a catalogue of predefined action object and link object templates. + +### 6.3.14 Static and dynamic assignment of generic value + +A generic value may be specified as a constant or as an evaluated result of a get action. Generic values are essential values processed inside an MHEG engine. Generic values can be stored and retrieved from content object data. An evaluated value may be stored after its evaluation, i.e. a constant is stored, e.g. content data = "hello". An evaluated value can also be stored without any processing, i.e. the get action is stored, e.g. content data = Get Preparation Status (target), in which case, the evaluation is performed dynamically each time this generic value is retrieved. + +## 7 MHEG Engine Assumptions + +### 7.1 Handling and Interchange of objects + +This Recommendation does not define the way in which an MHEG engine handles the objects, neither the interchanged MHEG objects nor the rt-objects. But it makes some assumptions about the features of MHEG engines in order to be able to define further actions on the objects. + +- 1) This Recommendation assumes that the MHEG object, once it has been interchanged, is used by an using application and handled by the MHEG engine. + +- 2) This Recommendation makes no assumptions on the internal structure or organisation of the MHEG engine, with these exceptions: +- a) The MHEG engine is expected to correctly interpret MHEG effect of MHEG action. + - b) The MHEG engine is able to evaluate status and attribute values of MHEG entities which are under its control. The changes that occur on the status or attribute value may be used to express conditions in links. + - c) When an MHEG engine uses an entry of a catalogue, it is expected that this engine correctly interpret this entry as described in the catalogue. + - d) The MHEG engine is able to work with a user interface support system, when it exists, and to obtain from this user interface system the results of the interaction with the user. These results are formalised by the MHEG engine in order to modify the corresponding interaction statuses. For example, the user interface support system indicate to the MHEG engine that a specific element of a given object has been selected, and thus the MHEG engine will be able to modify the corresponding interaction and selection status. This change of status may fire a link and carry on an action as specified in a given MHEG object. + +In order to facilitate understanding of the role played by this Recommendation, this clause shows in more detail the role of the objects in the interchange between two systems, as shown in Figure 4. + +![Diagram illustrating the interchange of MHEG objects between two systems, A and B.

When system A wishes to send an MHEG object to B, it calls an MHEG **encoder**, which converts the internal format used by A to the format defined by this Recommendation. + +When B receives an MHEG object, the object is decoded by an MHEG **decoder**. The values within the object are passed by the decoder, which may convert them to the internal format used by B. + +#### NOTES + +1 – The internal formats in the using applications A and B may be the same as the MHEG format, but nothing in this Recommendation requires this. + +2 – If the exchange between A and B is in both directions, the two systems may have both encoder and decoder. + +## 7.2 The MHEG application interface + +The MHEG engine is assumed to provide an interface to the using application. This interface will provide facilities for control of the MHEG engine and is the only access point for the application to MHEG objects within the MHEG engine. This Recommendation does not define the scope or the form of the MHEG engine interface, nor does it define the structure of data passing across this interface. + +### 7.3 Exception handling + +This Recommendation describes the recommended reactions of an MHEG engine on abnormal or exceptional situations possibly encountered during execution time. These reactions are neither considered to be minimal nor complete, which means that an MHEG engine can do more (e.g. write to a log file or inform the application) or even less (e.g. stop processing). The described behaviour is recommended but not required for conformance. + +NOTE – Specific reactions on error conditions are given with each specific situation throughout the section behaviour of ISO 13522-1. + +## 8 Methodology + +This clause describes the methodology used to specify this Recommendation and is provided as a help to the user in understanding this Recommendation. It does not imply that a conforming system or product uses this methodology for either analysis or implementation. This is the case for the general object orientation that is chosen for the design of this Recommendation. + +In the context of this Recommendation, an object class denotes a structure of interchangeable multimedia/hypermedia information, from which MHEG objects can be instantiated. This Recommendation restricts the usage of object-oriented concepts to specialisation, inheritance, and polymorphism. + +### 8.1 Modularity + +In order to allow an using application to make use of only some of the objects provided for by this Recommendation, the representation itself is in the form of a set of modules organised as follows: + +- one module per interchanged object class; +- one module containing all the useful definitions and the abstract classes; +- one module containing all the elementary actions. + +NOTES + +1 – In the way mentioned above, it is expected that an application process will incur the minimum overhead due to the objects not used. + +2 – It is intended that any future extension to the representations provided by this Recommendation (see Figure 5) shall also be isomorphic with respect to the modularity of the base representation. + +### 8.2 Methodology of representation of MHEG objects + +This Recommendation provides a description of an MHEG object, a precise definition of the structure of the object, and a base-coded representation for the object. The base coded representation defined in this Recommendation uses ASN.1. + +Alternative structure representations may be provided. They are intended to be isomorphic and equivalent for the purposes of this Recommendation (see Figure 5). + +NOTE – It is intended that the base transfer syntax provided by this Recommendation and alternative syntaxes provided by other parts of this Recommendation shall be consistent and that it is possible to convert an MHEG object instance from one to another. However, this process is not defined by this Recommendation. + +The representation of an MHEG object is specified through four levels: + +- description of representation; +- object-oriented definition (structure and semantics); +- notation for the structure of the representation; and +- the coded representation defined by applying encoding rules to the representation (see Figure 5). + +The description of the representation provided by this Recommendation includes the structure of the representation and sufficient semantics to allow a concrete understanding of the meaning of an MHEG object.

However, one of the notations is the base notation, which is to be referred to in case of questions of conformity of a product or application process. + +The base notation for the representation of MHEG objects structure is provided by ASN.1.

The object identifiers defined in this Recommendation are summarised in Annex A. The semantics of the object identifier is defined by reference to the following object identifier tree. +- **root**: Origin of the standard. It shall be joint-iso-itu-t(2). +- **arc1**: T.171 identification. It shall be 19. The identification of this Recommendation has been provided by the joint naming authority. +- **arc2**: MHEG Standard version. It is set to 1 for this version of this Recommendation. +- **arc3**: Class identifier. It is a number assigned to each MHEG class. +- The ASN.1 modules are used in this Recommendation to represent the MHEG object classes and superclasses, and also to describe the useful definitions. Each module has an identification, which is expressed with an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER. This identification is attached to the definition of the module and is not part of the definition of the MHEG class. + +This module OBJECT IDENTIFIER is not encoded within an MHEG object. It is used by another module within the IMPORT/EXPORT facilities in order to identify a module formally. + +- The ASN.1 IMPORT/EXPORT and the COMPONENTS OF facilities are used to represent the inheritance of attributes of MHEG object classes. Each superclass defines a SEQUENCE of attributes that are exported. This SEQUENCE is imported by the subclasses and COMPONENTS OF is used in order to inherit these attributes. +- The ASN.1 IMPORT/EXPORT facilities are also used to represent the MHEG useful definition and the elementary actions. The useful definition module exports the definitions and the abstract classes. The elementary action module exports the elementary actions. Each MHEG object class module imports the corresponding definitions when needed. + +- Each MHEG object is represented as a sequence of attributes using the ASN.1 SEQUENCE facilities. Each attribute has an arbitrary structure. +- The technique of an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER is also used to uniquely identify each MHEG object class.

The coded representations are equivalent in that they are isomorphic with respect to the level B. However, one of the coded representations is the base-coded representation. + +The base coded representation is provided by ASN.1 BER. + +NOTE – It is intended that any future additions to this Recommendation of coded representations of MHEG objects shall be of notations isomorphic with the level B. + +## SECTION 2 – GENERIC UTILITY AND USEFUL DEFINITION MECHANISMS + +This Recommendation provides the following mechanisms: + +- Presentation mechanism (see clause 9); +- Generic identification mechanism (see clause 10); +- Generic reference mechanism (see clause 11); +- Generic value (see clause 12); +- Macro mechanism (see clause 13); +- Hooks (see clause 14); +- Extensibility (see clause 15). + +These generic mechanisms or definitions are used throughout the technical clauses of this Recommendation. + +Their coded representation is grouped in a separate ASN.1 module called “useful definitions module”. + +When an MHEG object requires a specific definition, its ASN.1 class representation imports the definition from the useful definition module. + +## 9 Presentation Mechanism + +This clause describes the general mechanism provided for a Presentation Space (PS) (see 9.1) used to present the rt-components to the user. It is composed of a generic coordinate system in time and space, and it also contains an Audible Volume Range (AVR) for audio expression. + +The values used to define the spatial, temporal and audible behaviour of rt-components are expressed in Generic Units (GU), e.g. position, size, duration and volume. This mechanism allows the interpretation of the units with respect to an associated PS. + +NOTE – This allows the cohabitation of data coming from different creation tools with different coordinate systems and audible volume ranges. + +A PS is associated with each rt-component. It is called Original PS (OPS) (see 9.2). A PS is also associated with each channel. It is called Channel PS (CPS) (see 9.3). + +In order to allow placement of children relative to their parent, each rt-component may be projected into a parent PS. For a child, its parent PS is called a Relative PS (RPS) (see 9.4). This parent can also be a child of another parent. So, there is a chain of mapping that ends at CPS: OPS to RPS to RPS...to CPS. At each projection a scaling factor, called Generic Factor (GF), is applied. This GF is defined as a ratio and specifies number of RGU Relative GU (RGU) to be mapped to one Original GU (OGU). Lastly, in order to be perceived by the user, each CPS is mapped by the MHEG engine onto a physical space (see 11.1). + +Figure 8 summarises the presentation techniques. + +![Figure 8/T.171 – Overview of presentation techniques.

The temporal and spatial axes shall be initialised as follows: + +- a) The TEndPoint shall be initialised with the Original Duration (OD) value retrieved as follows: + - 1) if the OD is encoded within the component object, this value shall be used; + - 2) for an rt-content, if the OD is not encoded within the content object, the OD value may be retrieved from information contained in the hook or in the data itself; + - 3) otherwise, the OD value shall be set to infinite. +- b) Each SEndPoint shall be initialised with the Original Size (OS) length value on the corresponding axis, which is retrieved as follows: + - 1) If the OS is encoded within the component object: + - i) if the length of the OS is provided on an axis, this value shall be used for this spatial axis; + - ii) otherwise, the length of the OS on this axis shall be set to 0. + - 2) For an rt-content, if the OS is not encoded within the content object, the OS value may be retrieved from information contained in the hook or in the data itself. + +NOTE – For a multiplexed content object, the OS of the global multiplexed data is used. The OS may be encoded individually in each stream within a multiplexed content object. This information should not be used to set the OS of the rt-mux. It is just a help for an MHEG Engine to manipulate and present a stream. + +- 3) Otherwise, the OS length value shall be set to 0 on each axis. + +The following OGU along each OPS axis are defined: + +- the GTU along the OPS temporal axis is called Original GTU (OGTU); +- the GSU along each OPS spatial axis is called Original GSU (OGSU); +- the GVU along the OPS-AVR is called Original GVU (OGVU). + +### 9.2.2 Initialisation of GF + +The scaling factors associated with the OPS axes shall be initialised as follows: + +- The GTF shall be initialised to 1. It may be changed by the use of the Set GTF action. + +NOTE 1 – For example, if the GTF changes from 1 to 10, 1 unit of RGTU lasts 10 times longer than before the change. If the GTF changes from 1 to 1/10, 1 unit of RGTU lasts 10 times shorter than before the change. A GTF value of 0 has the effect of reducing the rt-component duration to an infinitesimal small duration in the RPS, because the whole rt-component duration is perceived within 0 RGTU. + +- The GSF on each OPS spatial axis shall be initialised to 1. It may be changed by the use of the Set GSF action. + +NOTE 2 – For example, if the GSF changes from 1 to 2 on an axis, 1 OGSU is to be mapped on 2 RGSU on this axis. So the rt-component is perceived twice as large on this axis. A GSF value of 0 on all axes has the effect of reducing the rt-component perception to an infinitesimal small size in the RPS, because the whole rt-component is being perceived within 0 RGSU. + +- The GVF shall be initialised to 1. It can be changed by the use of the Set GVF action. + +NOTE 3 – For example, if the GVF changes from 1 to 2, 1 OGVU is to be mapped on 2 RGVU. So the rt-component is perceived twice as loud. A GSF value of 0 has the effect reducing the rt-component perception to an infinitesimal small volume in the RPS, because the rt-component volume is being perceived in 0 RGVU. + +### 9.2.3 Initialisation of attributes for rt-components + +For each rt-component, the following attributes are defined when the OPS is created: + +- OD: Defines the initial duration of the rt-component. Its value is retrieved as explained above. +- Original Visible Duration (OVD): It is a subset of the OD. It defines the part of the OD which is perceived by the user. It shall be initialised to the OD value and may be changed by the use of the Set OVD action. +- OS: Defines the initial size of the rt-component. Its value is retrieved as explained above. +- Original Visible Size (OVS): It is defined as a size and then positioned within the OS. The portion of the OS which fits within the OVS is perceived by the user. The portion of the OS that is outside the OVS is clipped. If the OVS exceeds the limits of the OS, the exceeding portion of the OVS is filled by the background of the rt-component. The OVS shall be initialised to the OS value and positioned at the origin of the OS. The size may be changed by the use of a Set OVS action. The position may be changed by the use of the Set OVS Position action. + +NOTE – The background of the rt-component is not defined by ISO/IEC 13522-1. The background may be either retrieved from the hook or the data of the component object. A Set Style action can also be used by the author to set a catalogued background style. + +### 9.2.4 Initialisation of attributes for rt-contents + +For each rt-content the following attributes shall be defined when the OPS is created: + +- OV: Defines the initial volume of the rt-content. Its value is retrieved as follows: + - 1) if the OV is encoded within the content object, this value is used; + - 2) if not, the OV value may be retrieved from information contained in the hook or in the data itself; + - 3) otherwise, the OV value is set to the minimum value of the AVR. +- Current Volume (CV): It corresponds to the volume which will be perceived by the user. It is initialised to the OV value and may be changed by the use of the Set CV action. + +NOTE – When an rt-mux is responsible for the presentation of several streams, it is up to the demultiplexing process and the GUI to keep the coherence between the duration, size and volume of the rt-mux itself and the duration, size and volume of each stream selected for this rt-mux. + +To ensure the final presentation, the duration and the volume that are encoded within each rt-content shall be expressed in 1 ms (PTU) and 1 dB (PVU), respectively. If the duration and the volume are retrieved from the hook, these values are translated and expressed in 1 ms (PTU) and 1 dB (PVU), respectively. + +## 9.3 Channel Presentation Space (CPS) + +The CPS shall be initialised as follows: + +- The TEndPoint shall be initialised with the CPS Duration value retrieved as follows: + - a) if the action Set CPS is targeted to this channel and contains a CPS Duration parameter, this value shall be used; + - b) otherwise, the CPS Duration value is set to infinite. +- Each SEndPoint shall be initialised with the CPS Size length value on the corresponding axis, which is retrieved as follows: + - a) If the action Set CPS is targeted to this channel and contains a CPS Size parameter, the following applies: + - i) if the length of the CPS Size is provided on an axis, this value is used for this spatial axis; + - ii) otherwise, the length of the CPS Size on this axis is set to 0. + +- b) Otherwise, the CPS Size length value on each axis is set to the default SEndPoint value provided by this Recommendation. + +When different MHEG objects are generated by different authors and take place in the same application, if each of these authors is using the default channel, it is recommended that all the authors are aware of the current CPS definition of the default channel, if it has been changed. + +- 3) The AVR is set to the AVR value provided by this Recommendation. + +There is no scaling factor associated with the CPS axes. + +## 9.4 Relative Presentation Space (RPS) + +The Relative PS of an rt-component is the PS in which the rt-component is assigned and projected. Each rt-component is assigned to only one RPS at a given time. The following RPS are defined: + +- 1) Parent RPS (PRPS): A socket may be projected within the OPS of its rt-composite parent, in order to describe a composition in time, space or audio. This can be repeated recursively, if the rt-composite parent is itself an rt-composite socket. +- 2) Channel RPS (CRPS): + - a) a socket may also be projected directly within a CPS when this socket does not participate to the composition in time, space or audio described by its parent; + - b) each root rt-composite is projected into a CPS. + +Initially, each root rt-component is assigned to the default channel, and each socket is assigned to its parent rt-composite PS. This RPS assignment may be changed by the use of the Set RPS Assignment action. + +The following RGU along each RPS axis are defined: + +- the GTU along the RPS temporal axis is called Relative GTU (RGTU); +- the GSU along each RPS spatial axis is called Relative GSU (RGSU); +- the GVU along the RPS AVR is called Relative GVU (RGVU). + +The attributes defined for each rt-component within the OPS are projected into the assigned RPS as follows: + +- Projected OD (POD): Projection of the OD in the RPS and is calculated as follows: $OD \times GTF = POD$ . +- Projected Visible Duration (PVD): Projection of the VD is calculated as follows: $OVD \times GTF = PVD$ . +- Projected OS (POS): Projection of the OS in the RPS and is calculated as follows: $OS \times GSF = POS$ . +- Projected Visible Size (PVS): Projection of the OVS and is calculated as follows: $OVS \times GSF = PVS$ . The PVS value can also be set directly by the use of the Set OVS action with the OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “calculated”. + +The attribute defined for each rt-content within the OPS is projected into the assigned RPS as follows: + +- Projected Current Volume (PCV): Projection of the CV in the RPS and is calculated as follows: $CV \times GVF = PCV$ . + +## 9.5 CPS mapping + +Each CPS is a virtual space. It is for the MHEG engine to assign a physical PS to a virtual space, and to convert virtual coordinates (GU) to physical one. + +Each CPS is assigned to a physical PS by the MHEG engine. The descriptor object may provide information to facilitate this mapping such as: + +- An expected media type mapping may be provided to facilitate the assignment to a physical PS. The MHEG engine associates the CPS with physical devices such as TV sets, workstations, cameras, windows, loudspeakers and microphones. + +- A recommended resolution for the physical PS axes may be provided for satisfactory rendition: x-resolution, y-resolution, z-resolution and t-resolution. +Authors should take into account the limited possibilities of minimum resource equipment, and not require unduly fine resolutions. +- A recommended audio dynamic range and a recommended minimum and maximum frequency required for playback may be provided to present audible data with an appropriate amplitude. + +The virtual coordinates shall be converted to physical coordinates as follows: + +- The CPS temporal axis is mapped to a physical temporal axis. The physical temporal units are expressed in milliseconds. 1 CGTU is mapped to 1 PTU. +- The CPS spatial axes are mapped to physical spatial axes. The physical spatial units depend on each physical PS, e.g. a pixel, 1 millimetre. 1 CGSU is mapped to 1 PSU. +In performing the mapping of each spatial axis onto the physical space, the MHEG engine is responsible that the direction of each spatial axis (see Figure 11) will be correctly perceived by the user.

For that purpose, the following is defined: + +- An **index**: To provide an identification for an element of a given generation within a constructed entity. Each element is indexed within a generation by sequential integers starting from one. The following notation is used to express index within this Recommendation: `outer_object_identification.i`, where “i” indicates the index within the outer object, e.g. the third element of container object with MHEG ID 1000 is expressed by 1000.3. +- A **tail**: To provide an identification of an element within a hierarchy of constructed entities. A tail is a list of indexes and it designs a path from an outer entity through an element. Each index corresponds to an index of an element within the constructed entity. Successive indexes correspond to nested elements. The last index in the list is the index of the element to be identified. The following notation is used to express tail: `outer_object_identification.i1.i2.i3....in`, where “i1.i2.i3....in” is a list of indexes indicating the path from the outer object through the element. + +The following internal identifications are also provided in ISO/IEC 13522-1 to identify an element: + +- 1) **Composition Element Index:** Identify any element of a composite (see 10.2.4); +- 2) **Container Element Identification:** Identify any element of a container (see 10.2.5); +- 3) **Socket ID:** Identify any socket (see 10.2.6); +- 4) **Stream ID:** Identify any stream within a multiplexed content object (see 10.2.7). + +### 10.2.1 MHEG identifier + +An MHEG identifier may be assigned to each MHEG object. When used, the MHEG Identifier shall be encoded within the MHEG object and shall be composed of the following: + +- An optional **application identifier**, which is provided by the application designer. It shall be encoded in this Recommendation as an ASN.1 octet string. +- An **MH number**, which uniquely identifies an MHEG object within an application. The mh number shall be encoded as an integer. When the MHEG identifier is present, it is mandatory. + +A reserved MHEG identifier is provided to identify a null MHEG object: “Null-Mh”. + +It is the object designer’s responsibility to ensure that MHEG identifiers are unique among the MHEG objects. + +The following notation is used to express MHEG identifiers: a1.a2.a3...an-m, where “a1.a2.a3...an” represents the application identifier and m represents the mh number. When the application identifier is omitted, the MHEG identifiers are expressed using the following notation m. + +**Example:** A content object may have the following MHEG identifier: 129.63.24.2-49, and another composite object may have the following MHEG identifier: 700, which means that this composite has no application identifier. + +### 10.2.2 Root Rt-ID + +A root rt identifier is assigned to each root rt-object. This identifier is mandatory. This identifier is composed of the following: + +- The **model object identification**, which identifies the model object. Any one of the identifications provided by this Recommendation to identify an MHEG object may be used to identify this model object, e.g. MHEG identifier, Container Element Index, External ID, Alias. +- An **rt number**, which is an integer provided by the author. + +A reserved root rt identifier is provided to identify a null rt-object: “Null-Root-Rt”. + +It is the object designer’s responsibility to ensure that root rt identifiers are unique. + +The uniqueness of rt numbers is required at a given instant. An rt number may be reused once this number is again available, i.e. once the rt-object that was using it is deleted. It is not possible to have, at a precise instant, two rt-objects with the same rt number. + +The following notation is used to express root rt identifiers: model\_object\_identification:r, where model\_object\_identification can be any one of the identification provided by this Recommendation to identify an MHEG object and “r” is the rt number, e.g. the first rt-composite object created from the composite object identified by MHEG identifier: 700 has the following root rt identifier: 700:1. The third rt-content object created from the content object identified by MHEG identifier: 129.63.24.2-49 has the following rt identifier 129.63.24.2-49:3. + +### 10.2.3 Channel identifier + +A channel identifier is assigned to each channel. This identifier is mandatory. This identifier is an integer. + +A reserved channel identifier is provided to identify the default channel: “Default-Channel”. + +It is the object designer’s responsibility to ensure that channel identifiers are unique. + +### 10.2.4 Composition element index + +The index facility is used in a composite object to identify each element within the composition. + +Each composite object defines one generation. The indexes of elements with non-empty associated models are provided by the author. The missing indexes are automatically provided by the MHEG engine; such elements are considered as elements with an empty associated model. + +In Figure 18, the five elements in composite object 700 are identified with indexes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The four elements in composite object 701 are identified with indexes 1, 2, 3 and 4. The single element in composite object 702 is identified by index 1. Comp 701 and Comp 702 that are associated models of Comp 700, and Content 7000 that is an associated model of Comp 702, are referenced rather than included. They are identified by using either their own identifier or the index of the composite elements in which they are associated. Figure 18 does not show the composition behaviour in composite objects. + +NOTE – The element index is typically used during the construction of the rt-composite. + +![Figure 18/T.171 – Indexing of elements in a composite object.

When a container object contains a hierarchy of embedded container objects, the tail facility is used to identify the embedded elements in the hierarchy of container objects. + +Each container object defines one generation. The indexes of elements are automatically provided by the MHEG engine and are indexed in each generation from one, sequentially. + +An element in a container object is always an MHEG object. It is possible that a container element, which is an MHEG object, is already assigned another identifier, e.g. an external identifier or an MHEG identifier. In this case, this element has two different identifications, either as an element of a container or as an MHEG object directly. + +**NOTE** – The index or tail within a container is typically used to obtain rapid access to elements of a container. When a Prepare action is targeted to an MHEG object using its identification within a container, e.g. 1000.3, element 3 of container 1000, the object may be picked out of the container with minimal processing by the MHEG engine. If an MHEG identifier is encoded within this object, this identifier is available to the MHEG engine as soon as the object is prepared. It is recommended but not required, that further actions on this object typically use the MHEG identifier rather than the container indexing. + +In Figure 19, the elements defined in the container object are MHEG objects; they are identified by an index or a tail within the container, e.g. index 1 of container 800 or tails 1000.8.1 and 800.1 identifies the link object with MHEG-ID 810. An MHEG identifier and an external identifier may be also provided for each object. + +### 10.2.6 Socket identifier + +The index facility is used to identify each element of a given generation of an rt-composite. The tail facility is used in a root rt-composite object to identify each element within the rt-composite. + +Each root rt-composite defines a complete hierarchy. In each generation of an rt-composite, the sockets are indexed from one, sequentially and deduced from the composite object model. The tail is used to identify each socket indicating the path from the root rt-composite through the socket. + +Figure 20 shows an rt-composite that is a result of a New action applied on an rt-composite made from the model composite object 700 shown in Figure 18.

This identifier is expressed as a tail and designs a path from an outer stream to an inner stream within the multiplexed data. + +It is the object designer's responsibility to ensure that stream identifiers are unique within the same multiplexed data. + +## 10.3 Symbolic identification + +This Recommendation provides a means of assigning a symbolic identification that may be used to replace any other internal or external identification. This symbolic identification is called alias. + +Alias provides the following characteristics: + +- Addressing entities by another name. +- Regrouping entities on which the same actions are to be applied at the same time. +- Multievaluation of objects using a delayed assignment of alias. A complete application may be described by an author using alias. The real assignment of the entity may be done later dynamically. + +This is particularly useful for multilingual/internationalisation, multiresolution media format, multiversion of objects and multiencoded media format. For example, an author provides one object for the different languages, and the actions are described by using aliases. Then, Set Alias actions are used to assign the correct language when needed. + +An alias is a string that is used as a convenient alternative for an other identification format. An alias is assigned by an author using the Set Alias action. + +#### NOTES + +1 – This alias is different from the object name in the MH-object class. + +2 – For example, Set Alias(START, "e:\appli\start-up.mhg"). This alias is an alternative identification for the external ID identified as "e:\appli\start-up.mhg". + +3 – For example, Set Alias(OPTION, 700:8.2). This alias is an alternative identification for the socket 2 of root rt-composite number 8 created from composite model 700 (see Figure 20). + +A given entity may have several aliases assigned at the same time. A given alias may be assigned to several entities at the same time. + +## 11 Generic reference mechanism + +Many MHEG entities, data and streams need to be referenced either from another MHEG object or as a parameter of an action. Targets of action also address the MHEG entities using their reference. + +### 11.1 Generic reference using generic identification + +The following references are defined: + +- 1) **External ID Reference:** Reference to an MHEG object or a data using its External ID (see 10.1). +- 2) **MHEG ID Reference:** Reference to an MHEG object using its MHEG-ID (see 17.2). + +The reference to an MHEG identifier cannot be resolved until the referenced MHEG object is decoded. A using application may provide a mechanism to resolve this reference without decoding the object, e.g. using a table of correspondence between a location of an MHEG object and its MHEG identifier. + +- 3) **Root Rt-ID Reference:** Used to reference a root rt-object. It is specified as a reference to the model object followed by a reference to an rt-number. The model object is referenced using one of the references defined for an MHEG object. The reference to an rt number is one of the following: + - a) An rt number: Used to reference a root rt-object. + - b) The constant \*: Used to reference, at the moment when this reference is solved, all the root rt-objects created from the specified model object. + - c) The constant ?: Used to reference a single dynamically determined rt number (see 11.3). +For example, taking into account the composite object defined in Figures 18 and 19: + - i) 700:\* represents a reference to all the root rt-composite objects created from this composite object model at the moment of the resolution of this reference; + - ii) 700:? represents a reference to a dynamically determined root rt-composite object created from this composite object model. +- 4) **Channel ID Reference:** Reference to a channel using its Channel ID (see 10.2.3). +- 5) **Tail Reference:** This reference cannot be used directly by the author; it is part of the Container Element Reference and of the Socket ID Reference. It is defined as one of the following: + - a) Tail: Used to reference a given element using its tail identification (see 11.1). + - b) Tail complement: Defined as either **children** or **descendants**. When used alone, it references the child elements, i.e. one generation or all generations (the descendant elements of the outer entity itself). + - c) Tail followed by a tail complement: The tail complement, in that case, applies to the element referenced using the tail identification. This element shall be itself a constructed entity, i.e. another container object or an rt-composite socket. +- 6) **Container Element Reference:** Reference to an MHEG object using its Container Element. It is specified as a reference to the container object followed by a **Tail Reference**. The container object is referenced using one of the references defined for an MHEG object. The tail reference allows an author to reference: + - a) a single MHEG object, or an element of the container; + - b) the children of the outer container object; + - c) the children of a container object which is an element of the outer container object; + - d) the descendants of the outer container object; + - e) the descendants of a container object that is an element of the outer container object. +- 7) NOTE 1 – In Figure 19, 1000.8.children or 800.children represents a reference to the two elements within this embedded container, i.e. link object 810 and multiplexed content object 820. +- 8) NOTE 2 – 1000.descendants represents a reference to all the elements within container 1000 and within the embedded container 800. +- 9) NOTE 3 – The reference to a container element cannot be resolved until the referenced container object is decoded. However, if the author has provided an offset information within the descriptor (see 0.5.3.9) for a container element, the MHEG engine may use this offset information to decode only the specified container element without decoding the rest of the container object. +- 10) NOTE 4 – If an author has provided additional identification to a container element, e.g. an MHEG identifier, this container element may be also referenced using one of the references defined for an MHEG object. +- 11) **Socket ID Reference:** Used to reference a socket. It is specified as a reference to the root rt-composite followed by a **Socket Tail Reference**. The root rt-composite is referenced using a Root Rt ID Reference. The socket tail reference allows an author to reference: + - a) a single socket; + - b) the children of the root rt-composite; + +- c) the children of an rt-composite socket within the root rt-composite; + - d) the descendants of the root rt-composite; + - e) the descendants of an rt-composite socket within the root rt-composite. +- 12) **Socket Tail Reference:** This reference cannot be used directly by the author; it is part of the Socket ID Reference. It is defined as one of the following: +- a) A tail: Used to reference a given socket using its tail identification (see above). + - b) A socket tail complement: It is defined as one of the following: + - i) The constants provided by a tail complement, i.e. children or descendants (see above). Used alone, the tail complement applies to the root rt-composite itself. + - ii) The constant **?child** used to reference a single dynamically determined socket within the root rt-composite itself. + - iii) The constant **?descendant** used to reference a single dynamically determined socket within the descendant sockets of the root rt-composite itself. When ?child or ?descendant is used, the technique to determine the socket is the same as for ? (see 11.3). The individualisation phase, in that case, is made on each child or descendant socket of the specified root rt-composite. + +The ?child and ?descendant facilities may be used as follows: for example, a root rt-composite describes a menu; each socket is an item. When one of the items is selected, the same behaviour is specified. This behaviour is processed individually each time one of the items is selected. This is described in a single link using the ?descendant or ?child facilities. The number of sockets children or descendants may be changed during the life of the menu; the link always applies. + - c) A tail followed by a socket tail complement: The tail complement, in that case, applies to the socket referenced using the tail identification. This socket shall be an rt-composite socket. +- 13) NOTE 5 – In Figure 20, 700:8.children represents a reference to all the child elements of the root rt-composite (indexes 1 to 5, first generation). +- 14) NOTE 6 – 700:8.2.children represents a reference to all the child sockets of the rt-composite socket 700:8.2 (indexes 1 to 4, 2nd generation). +- 15) NOTE 7 – 700:8.descendants represents a reference to all the descendant sockets of the root rt-composite (all generations). +- 16) NOTE 8 – 700:?.1 represents a reference to rt-content socket (FILE) of a dynamically determined root rt-composite created from composite object model 700. +- 17) NOTE 9 – 700:?.descendants represents a reference to all descendant sockets of a dynamically determined root rt-composite created from composite object model 700. +- 18) NOTE 10 – 700:\*.1 represents a reference to the rt-content socket 1 (FILE) of all the root rt-composite objects created from this composite object model at the moment of the resolution of this reference. +- 19) NOTE 11 – 700:8.?descendant represents a reference to a single dynamically determined socket between the descendant socket (all generations) of the root rt-composite. +- 20) NOTE 12 – 700:8.2?child represents a reference to a single dynamically determined socket between the child socket (open, close, new, index) of the rt-composite socket 700:8.2. +- 21) NOTE 13 – 700:?.?child represents a reference to a single dynamically determined socket between the child socket (one generation) of a dynamically determined root rt-composite created from composite object model 700. +- 22) **Stream ID Reference:** Reference to a stream using its Stream ID (see 10.2.7). +- 23) **Alias Reference:** Reference to an MHEG entity or a data or a stream using one of its assigned aliases (see 10.3). The reference to an alias cannot be resolved until the alias has been assigned. + +## 11.2 Predefined references + +The following predefined reference constants value are also defined: + +- 1) **Null-Data**: Reference to a null data. +- 2) **Null-Mh**: Reference to a null MHEG object. +- 3) **Null-Root-Rt**: Reference to a null root rt-object. +- 4) **Default-Channel**: Reference to the default channel. +- 5) **“This”**: Local reference to a composite or a container within itself. A composite or a container object may be referenced using any one of the referencing techniques defined for an MHEG object (e.g. MHEG-ID reference, container element reference, alias reference, external identifier reference) or by using the “this” facility provided for local referencing purposes within the composite or the container object itself. “This” shall be used only within link and action object; it shall not be used either within a container element reference or within a component object reference of a composition element. The following applies: + - a) When the composite or the container object is prepared, “this” takes the value of the composite or the container object identification. When the start-up link, rt start-up and container start-up are activated, the value of “this” is propagated to them. + - b) The propagation of the value of “this” to a link object has the effect of replacing each occurrence of “this” within the link condition by the value of “this”. + - c) When such a link fires, the value of “this” shall be propagated to its link effect. The following applies: + - i) Each occurrence of “this” within the usage value of the macro resolution and within the action object is replaced by the value of “this”. If the action object is a nested action object, any occurrence of “this” within all the embedded action objects is also replaced by the value of “this”. + - ii) If the link is a nested link object, the value of “this” is also propagated to the embedded link objects. +- 6) NOTE 1 – “This” has the role of a local variable within the scope of the composite or the container itself. +- 7) NOTE 2 – In Figure 18, the availability start-up of the composite object has the following link effect: New this:1, Activate link L1. The link object L1 is defined as follows: TC = this:1.3 becomes selected, LE = Run (this:1.5). When the composite 700 is prepared, the start-up is activated, the root rt-composite number 1 is created and the value this = 700 is propagated to link object L1. + +## 11.3 ? reference + +? is used in link and action objects to describe an individual behaviour common to all root rt-objects created from a given model object. The advantages of this facility are: + +- the behaviour is described only once and applied to all the root rt-objects created from a same model object; +- the object designer is able to describe an individual behaviour for each root rt-object without knowing the number of root rt-objects that will be created from the given model object; +- once activated, the link applies to all root rt-objects already created as well as future created root rt-objects; +- this facility allows a complete independence between all the root rt-objects created from the same model, i.e. they may be presented independently, the behaviour is an individual behaviour attached to each root rt-object. + +The reference “model\_object\_identification:?” can be used in a link or in an action object wherever an rt-object reference is allowed. However, the following applies: + +- 1) If the link object is not an embedded link, the reference “model\_object\_identification:?” shall be used in the source value of at least one trigger condition in order to assign a usage value to ?. + +The composite rt-availability start-up link answers this requirement, its link condition is “this:? becomes available”. All embedded links activated from the rt-availability start-up are active for each new created root rt-composite. + +- 2) In an embedded link object, the ? can be used for different model objects, e.g. the following references “model\_object\_identification1:?”; “model\_object\_identification2:?” can be used in the same embedded link object. + +It is deprecated to use ? with different model object identifications in a non-embedded link object. Because the ? value is resolved when a trigger condition becomes true and only one trigger condition becomes true at a given time. So, in that case only one ? is resolved and all other references are considered as “undefined” references. + +The determination of the rt number to be taken into account in the place of each ? is highly dynamic. When a non-embedded link object is activated, the following phases applies: + +- 1) Each link object containing a trigger condition with a source value encoded as “model\_object\_identification:?” is to be evaluated in parallel for each root rt-object created from the indicated model\_object\_identification. For that purpose, all instances of ? with the same model\_object\_identification within the link condition are replaced by a given instance of a root rt-object rt number in each parallel evaluation. + +During the activation of such a link object, the root rt-objects created from the indicated model\_object\_identification may vary, i.e. additional root rt-objects may be created or some of them may be destroyed. + +- 2) If a trigger condition becomes true for a given root rt-object and if the link condition is satisfied, its rt number becomes the “? usage value”. Each instance of ? with the same model\_object\_identification is replaced by the “? usage value” in the following places: + - a) Within the link effect – If the action object defining the link effect is a nested action object, the “? usage value” is also propagated to each instance of the ? with the same model\_object\_identification within the embedded action objects. + - b) When an embedded link object is activated from this link object, the following applies: + - i) a specific instance of the embedded link object handles this “? usage value”; + - ii) the “? usage value” is propagated to each instance of the ? with the same model\_object\_identification within this instance of embedded link; + - iii) if this instance of the embedded link object contains some ? not resolved within a trigger condition, the same phases, i.e. 1) and 2) apply; + - iv) if some ? remains unresolved after all phases 1) and 2), the corresponding references are to be considered as “undefined”. +- 3) Phase 1 is processed in parallel on all root rt-objects created from the model object. If the link condition of a nested link object becomes true for two root rt-objects in parallel in phase 1, e.g. 700:3 and 700:4, the phase 2 is to be processed for each ? usage value in parallel. That is, if the link effect activates an embedded link, two instances of this embedded link are handled in parallel for both ? usage values of 700:3 and 700:4. + +If the link is deactivated, this link cannot be fired for any “? usage value”. + +This example takes into account composite object defined in Figure 18: + +- Its start-up may have the following link effect: new 700:3, new 700:9. +- Its rt-availability start-up link effect is: activate link object L1. +- Link L1 is an embedded link object, it is defined as follows: TC = 700:?.3 becomes selected, LE = run 700:?.5. This link is used to describe an individual behaviour common to all root rt-composites which may be created from model object 700, i.e. for 700:3, 700:9 but also for any future root rt-composite created from the model 700. + +The following applies: + +- 1) When the rt-availability start-up is activated, i.e. each time a new root rt-composite is created, an instance of L1 handles this new root rt-composite. The rt number of this new made root rt-composite is considered as the “? usage value” and is transmitted to this instance of L1. + +- 2) In fact, there is one instance of link L1 per root rt-composite already created from 700. So we can consider that link L1 is active for all root rt-composite created from 700 and that its trigger is evaluated each time the selection status of the socket 3 of any root rt-composite created from 700 changes. +- 3) When the trigger of an instance of link L1 becomes true for a root rt-composite, e.g. 700:2, the link condition becomes true and the value of this root rt-composite rt number is considered as the “? usage value”. This value is transmitted to the link effect of this instance of link L1. So the fifth socket of 700:2 becomes running. +- 4) When both 700:2.3 and 700:3.3 are selected in parallel, two instances of the link L1 are satisfied in parallel, their link effect is to be performed in parallel. That is, socket 5 of 700:2 and socket 5 of 700:3 become running in parallel. + +Following is another example: + +- Link object L1 is defined as follows: TC = 700:?3 becomes selected, LE = run (700:?5), activate (link object L2, link object L3). +- Link L2 is an embedded link object defined as follows: LC: 900:3.1 becomes selected AND 700:?2 is running, LE: stop 700:?5 run 700:?2. +- Link L3 is a more complex embedded link object, it is defined as follows: LC: 999:?1 becomes selected AND (700:?5) is running, LE: stop (999:?1, 700:?5) run (999:?2, 700:?2). + +The following applies: + +- 1) Instances of Link L1 are handled as explained in the previous example. +- 2) Consider now that an instance of L1 link condition is satisfied for 700:7, 7 becomes the “? usage value” for composite 700. This value is transmitted to the link effect of this instance of L1. That is, the socket 5 of 700:7 becomes running as in the previous example, but additionally links L2 and L3 are activated. +- 3) When L2 is activated, an instance of L2 handles the “? usage value” and all appearances of 700:? are replaced by 700:7 in the link effect of this instance. When this instance of link L2 is handled and when its link condition becomes true, i.e. 900:3.1 is selected and 700:7.2 is running, then 700:7.5 is stopped and 700:7.2 becomes running. +- 4) When L3 is activated, and instance of L3 handles the “? usage value” and all appearances of 700:? are replaced by 700:7 in the link effect of this instance. As one ? is remaining in a trigger condition, the instance of link L3 is evaluated in parallel for all root rt-composites created from 999. If the trigger condition of this instance of L3 is valid for 999:9, the “? usage value” 9 is replaced in this instance and so 999:9.1 and 700:7.5 are stopped and 999:7.2 and 700:7.2 becomes running. + +## 12 Generic Value + +This clause describes the mechanisms provided by this Recommendation for specifying values in a generic way. The generic values are typically used to express: + +- elementary action parameters; +- get action parameters; +- conditions; +- MHEG object attributes. + +A generic value may be defined as follows: + +- 1) **constant**: A specific constant is also provided to identify an unspecified value: “unspecified”. +The “unspecified” value is used in link condition as a comparison value. +- 2) **evaluated values**: An evaluated value is the result of the process of a get action by the MHEG engine. When the MHEG engine is not able to process a get action, this get action is evaluated as the constant value “undefined”. + +The generic values may be stored in and retrieved from the data field of a content object. + +The type of a generic value is one of the following: + +- Generic boolean (see 12.1); +- Generic numeric (see 12.2); +- Generic integer (see 12.3); +- Generic ratio (see 12.4); +- Generic string (see 12.5); +- Generic reference (see 12.6); +- Generic list (see 12.7). + +It is the object designer's responsibility to ensure that the generic values given as parameters of actions conform in type and number to the specification of the parameters as specified in this Recommendation. If the actual parameters do not conform in type or number to what is expected, it is an error and the action shall be ignored. + +The type of a generic value determines the following: + +- the set of values that it can possibly take; +- common semantics of these values. + +### **12.1 Generic boolean** + +A generic boolean value has one of the following values: TRUE, FALSE. + +The generic boolean value may be specified as follows: + +- a boolean constant; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action; +- a result of a logical operation within a link condition; +- a result of a comparison operation within a link condition. + +### **12.2 Generic numeric** + +A generic numeric value is a numeric. The design of this Recommendation does not limit the numerical values in any way. The values may be integers, reals or complex; however, the coded representations may impose limitations. The ASN.1 syntax defined in this Recommendation supports only integer values. + +NOTE – It is recommended that authors assume this limitation. + +The generic numeric value may be specified as follows: + +- a numeric constant; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action. + +### **12.3 Generic integer** + +A generic integer value shall be an integer. + +The generic integer value may be used as follows: + +- an integer constant; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action. + +### **12.4 Generic ratio** + +A generic ratio value is a pair of integers (m, n) with m being the numerator and n the denominator of a fraction. If n is omitted, it is assumed to be 100, interpreting m as a percentage. n shall be greater than 1. + +A generic ratio value may be used as follows: + +- a ratio constant; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action. + +## 12.5 Generic string + +A generic string value is a string of any number of characters. The design of this Recommendation does not limit the coding scheme of string values in any way. The values may be represented in any code sets. However, the coded representations may impose limitations. The ASN.1 syntax defined in this Recommendation supports only GraphicString. + +NOTE 1 – It is recommended that the authors assume this limitation. + +GraphicString contains all G sets + SPACE as defined in ASN.1. Such specification allows for international string. + +The string is considered as a whole, i.e. the component characters cannot be addressed individually. + +NOTE 2 – Typically, the character string is used as a label, e.g. “Help”. + +The generic string value may be specified as follows: + +- a string constant; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action. + +There is a difference between the lowercase and uppercase character. + +## 12.6 Generic reference + +A generic reference is one of the references defined by this Recommendation (see Generic reference mechanism). + +A generic reference value may be specified as follows: + +- a reference constant; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action. + +## 12.7 Generic list + +A generic list value is an ordered set, possibly empty, of generic values of any type. Each element of a generic list value may have a distinct type from the other elements of the list. Each element of a generic list is implicitly indexed. + +NOTES + +1 – An element of a list may be another generic list. + +2 – Each element, within a list or a sublist, may be retrieved separately using the Get Data action facility. + +3 – The generic list type may be used to construct vectors (same type for all elements of the list) and compound sets (sets of elements of various types). + +A generic list value may be specified as follows: + +- a list of constants; +- a result of the evaluation of a get action. + +## 13 Macro Mechanism + +The macro mechanism provides a general technique for producing efficient coding of frequently used action and link objects in which only a few values are changed from one to another. This allows the sharing and reuse of complex behaviours. An author may create a catalogue of predefined action and link object templates, that are also called macro action object (see 18.4) and macro link object (see 19.5). In a macro action object or a macro link object, at least one attribute is encoded as a macro parameter value. + +A macro parameter value is composed of: + +- A Macro Def ID: It is either a string or an integer. It is used as a symbol representing the macro parameter. A given Macro Def ID may be used by many macro parameter values. +- A Default usage value: It is a value to be assigned to the attribute encoded as a macro parameter value when the macro usage value assignment is omitted. + +Each link object contains an optional set of attributes called “macro parameter resolution” and which is used to resolve the macro parameter value contained in its link effect. Each macro parameter resolution is composed of a Macro Def ID and the corresponding macro usage value to be assigned to the Macro Def ID. + +When a link object is fired, the link effect is to be processed. The first step of this process is called the macro resolution phase and is limited to this link effect process. + +NOTE 1 – As the same link may be fired several times in parallel, therefore, the macro resolution phase is limited to a given link effect process. + +The aim of this phase is to assign a macro usage value to each macro parameter value contained in the link effect. Each macro parameter resolution is propagated to the action object describing the link effect. The following applies: + +- if this action is a nested action object, the macro parameter resolution is also propagated to the embedded action object; +- if an embedded link object is activated from this link effect, the macro parameter resolution is propagated to this embedded link object except if this embedded link object itself contains a macro parameter resolution which uses the same Macro Def ID. + +During the propagation phase, for each macro parameter value, the following applies: + +- The Macro Def ID of the macro parameter value is retrieved from one of the propagated macro parameter resolution: This macro parameter value is replaced by the corresponding macro usage value of this propagated macro parameter resolution. +- NOTE 2 – Even if the usage value is not compatible with the expected type of the attribute encoded as macro parameter value, the MHEG engine is required to assign it. It is for the object designer to ensure the compatibility. +- NOTE 3 – If the usage value is an evaluated value, the macro parameter value is replaced by this Get action without processing it. +- Otherwise, this macro parameter value is replaced by the corresponding default usage value encoded within this macro parameter value. If no default usage value is provided, this macro parameter value is replaced by the value “undefined”. + +These abbreviations are used for the following examples: + +- MPR      Macro Parameter Resolution +- MD I     Macro Def ID +- MUV     Macro Usage Value +- DUV     Default Usage Value (when DUV is omitted, no default usage value is provided). +- ALE      Action in Link Effect + +**Example 1 – Simple link effect.** + +L1 has following specifications: + +- LC1: Button1 becomes selected. +- MPR1: (MDI = TARGET1, MUV = 700:1), (MDI = TARGET2, MUV = 700:2). +- ALE1: New(MDI = TARGET1), New(MDI = TARGET2), Run(MDI = TARGET1), Run(MDI = TARGET2). + +If LC1 is satisfied, the macro resolution phase is processed and ALE1 is processed as follows: + +- ALE1: New(700:1), New(700:2), Run(700:1), Run(700:2). + +**Example 2 – Embedded action within link effect.** + +L2 has following specifications: + +- LC2: Button1 becomes selected. +- MPR2: (MDI = SYNC, MUV = serial), (MDI = TARGET1, MUV = 700:1), (MDI = TARGET2, MUV = 700:2). +- ALE2:    ActionObject1. + +And ActionObject1 is as follows: + +- Synchro indicator: SYNC. +- Action set: New(TARGET1), Run(TARGET1), Stop(TARGET2). + +If LC2 is satisfied, the macro resolution phase is processed and each MUV is propagated to ActionObject1, and ActionObject1 is processed as follows: + +- Synchro indicator: Serial. +- Action set: New(700:1), Run(700:1), Stop(700:2). + +If synchro indicator is resolved as “undefined”, the action is not processed. + +**Example 3** – Embedded links within link effect. + +L3 has following specifications: + +- LC3: Button1 becomes selected.. +- MPR3: (MDI = TARGET1, MUV = 700:1). +- ALE3: New(TARGET1), Activate(L10), Activate(L20). + +L10 is as follows: + +- LC10: If TARGET1 is “not running”. +- MPR10: None. +- LE10: Run(TARGET1). + +And L20 is as follows: + +- LC20: If TARGET1 is “not running”. +- MPR20: (MDI = TARGET1, MUV = 999:1). +- ALE20: New(TARGET1), Run(TARGET1). + +If LC3 is satisfied, MPR3 is propagated to ALE3, L10 and L20. And L10 is processed as follows: + +- LC10: If 700:1 is “not running”. +- LE10: Run(700:1). + +However, L20 is processed as follows: + +- LC20: If 700:1 is “not running”. +- ALE20: New(999:1), Run(999:1). + +## 14 Hooks + +This clause describes the support for the handling of hooks, which are used in content, script and descriptor objects. Hooks provide the information for the type identification of the encoded data. A hook consists of the encoding information that identifies the encoding method and an optional encoding description that may be used for specifying parameters of the encoding method. + +Two kinds of hooks are provided, one for the content data and another for the script data: + +- 1) **Content hook:** Composed of an identification field for the data encoding standard and a descriptive field: + - a) The content encoding information contains an identification of the content encoding standard. A wide range of existing encoding standards such as MPEG, G711 or JPEG are maintained in the registered catalogue via the procedure described in ISO/IEC 13522-4. Private encoding formats can also be provided using a proprietary catalogue. + - b) The content encoding description gives a more precise description of the characteristics needed to decode the content. The semantics of these parameters are not defined by MHEG but are given by the semantics of the data encoding Standard or Recommendation with respect to the using application. Such information may also be provided within the content encoding catalogues. + +- 2) **Script hook:** Composed of an identification field for scripting language and a descriptive field: + - a) Scripting encoding information contains an identification of the script encoding standard. A wide range of existing encoding standards such as C, C++ or Lisp are maintained in the registered catalogue via the procedure described in ISO/IEC 13522-4. Private encoding formats can also be provided using a proprietary catalogue. + - b) Scripting language description gives a more precise description of the characteristics needed to decode the script. The semantics of these parameters are not defined by MHEG but are given by the semantics of the data encoding Standard or Recommendation with respect to the using application. Such information may also be provided within the script encoding catalogues. + +## 15 Extensibility + +Following extensibility is provided by this Recommendation: + +- 1) Catalogues (see 15.1); +- 2) Addition of new MHEG object classes (see 15.2); +- 3) Extensibility Provision (see 15.3). + +### 15.1 Catalogues + +ISO/IEC 13522-1 provides a set of catalogues to maintain compatibility between MHEG engines and to allow extensibility. New concepts can be made available to all MHEG systems if you register a reference to a format identifier in a registered catalogue or only to one group of applications if you register it in a proprietary catalogue: + +- 1) The registered catalogues are maintained in accordance with ISO/IEC 13522-4. Standardised, well-known concepts are listed in the registered catalogue. It is possible to register upcoming concepts in this catalogue. +- 2) Application-specific concepts reside in the proprietary catalogue, which is private to only one set of applications. These catalogues can only be referenced by special MHEG engines. The maintenance of the proprietary catalogue is assured by the using application. + +Within each catalogue, an optional description may be associated with each entry to clarify the usage of it. + +An MHEG engine can take any catalogue entry into account, thereby, introducing the concept of this entry within its process. When an author provides an MHEG object or an action using such an entry, this MHEG engine will be able to process this object or this action. If the author uses an entry not taken into account by the MHEG engine, the MHEG object or the action will be ignored by this engine. + +For each of the following attributes used by this Recommendation, a registered catalogue is provided, and a using application may also maintain a proprietary catalogue for private use: + +- **Content encoding** contains a precise description of the content encoding methods that may be used in the content hook, e.g. ISO/IEC 11172-2 (MPEG2 video). A content encoding description may be associated with each entry of this catalogue. +- **Content classification** is provided as an optional assistance in determining the type of content data. It provides information on the type of data. For media data it is used to indicate the perception media, e.g. text, graphics, audio. This information may be used in a negotiation process, a database, or by an MHEG engine to choose a decoder. +- **Script encoding** contains the script languages that may be used in the script hook, e.g. C++, Smalltalk, SMSL. A script encoding description may be associated with each entry of this catalogue. +- **Script classification** is provided as an optional assistance in determining the type of script language. This information may be used in a negotiation process, a database, or by an MHEG engine to choose a script decoder. +- **Media type** contains the medium type that may be used in the descriptor object in order to help the mapping of a channel to a physical device, e.g. text, still image or video. + +- **Style** contains the styles that may be used in the set style action, e.g. for user interaction: button, slider, entry field. The styles may depend on the GUI on the platform and on user personalisation by the user. Additional information may be associated with each entry of this catalogue in order to define the style more precisely, e.g. a value range for a slider, an orientation for a menu. +- **Event** contains a list of catalogued event identifiers (e.g. mouse click, keyboard key pressed, remote control command) that may be used in the descriptor object to indicate the expected mapping of event identifiers provided by the author to the catalogued event identifiers. Additional information may be associated with each entry of this catalogue in order to define the event more precisely, e.g. the position of the click. +- **Extended elementary action** contains a list of catalogued elementary actions used in the “catalogued elementary action” action. These catalogued elementary actions are used to extend the number of elementary actions defined by this Recommendation, e.g. draw a line, arithmetic operation.

The MHEG engine parses this structure. + +## 16 MHEG object classes overview + +The object-oriented approach was chosen for the design of the standard because it fits the requirements of active, autonomous and reusable objects. The interchanged object classes have been classified as shown in Figure 21. Each interchanged object belongs to one of the **emphasised** classes. Abstract classes have been added to describe common attributes or to group classes dealing with similar topics. MHEG does not define methods on its classes. Thus, use of the object-oriented paradigm is limited to attribute inheritance. + +In Figure 21, the greater-than sign ( > ) means “has the following subclasses”. Only the instances of classes that have been emphasised may be interchanged. The useful definitions are not considered to be a separate class. They are merely a convenient grouping of utility attributes. + +![MHEG inheritance tree diagram showing the hierarchy from MH-OBJECT to various subclasses like ACTION, LINK, MODEL, SCRIPT, COMPONENT, CONTENT, MULTIPLEXED CONTENT, COMPOSITE, CONTAINER, and DESCRIPTOR.](4801e73fa692059f2ca78196e6e907be_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph TD + MH-OBJECT > ACTION + MH-OBJECT > LINK + MH-OBJECT > MODEL + MH-OBJECT > CONTAINER + MH-OBJECT > DESCRIPTOR + MODEL > SCRIPT + MODEL > COMPONENT + COMPONENT > CONTENT + COMPONENT > COMPOSITE + CONTENT > MULTIPLEXED_CONTENT[MULTIPLEXED CONTENT] + +``` + +MHEG inheritance tree diagram showing the hierarchy from MH-OBJECT to various subclasses like ACTION, LINK, MODEL, SCRIPT, COMPONENT, CONTENT, MULTIPLEXED CONTENT, COMPOSITE, CONTAINER, and DESCRIPTOR. + +Figure 21/T.171 – MHEG inheritance tree + +## 17 Structure of MH-Object Class + +This clause describes the common structure provided for interchanging all the instances of MHEG classes, the MHEG objects, defined by this Recommendation. This mechanism provides a consistent approach to the identification and interchange of MHEG objects. + +The MH-Object class provides the following information for the identification of MHEG objects. + +### 17.1 Class identification + +The class identification is composed of the identification of the standard, the standard version and a specific identifier unique for each MHEG object class. The class identification attribute is encoded at level C using the ASN.1 technique of OBJECT IDENTIFIER (see 8.2.3.1). For the ease of encoding, this attribute is not encoded within MH-object class at level C. This attribute is encoded individually for each interchanged class in order to assign a unique number for each class instead of inherited directly from MH-object class. + +### 17.2 MHEG-ID + +An MHEG-ID may be provided to uniquely identify an interchanged object within the scope of an application. + +### 17.3 General object information + +MH-object class also gives supplementary information for an MHEG object as follows: + +- 1) Name of the MHEG object. +- 2) Owner of the MHEG object. +- 3) Version of the MHEG object. +- 4) Last modification date of the MHEG object. +- 5) List of keywords qualifying the MHEG object. +- 6) Readable copyright information relative to the MHEG object. +- 7) Copyright identifier used by certain authorised organisation to identify the copyright work type of the MHEG object. For example: + - a) ISBN (International Standard Book Number) for book; + - b) ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) for periodical publications; + - c) ISRC (International Standard Record Code) for sound recording; + - d) ISAN (International Standard for Audiovisual Number) for audiovisual application. + +- 8) Copyright number used by certain authorised organisation to uniquely identify the copyright information assigned to the MHEG object within a copyright identifier scope, e.g. 2-11072557-5 is an ISBN copyright number. +- 9) Readable licence information relative to the usage of the MHEG object. +- 10) Cache priority, which may be used by the MHEG engine as a hint of how to manage the MHEG objects. This is an integer in the range from 0 to 255. The value 0 means that the MHEG engine should delete the object from its memory space entirely if it receives a Destroy action. The value 255 means that the MHEG engine is strongly encouraged to cache the MHEG object within its memory space at the time of a Destroy action. Other values may be interpreted by each MHEG engine independently taking into account the range. However, the MHEG engine is not obliged to follow this instruction. This is only provided as a hint information for the MHEG engine. +- 11) Readable comments relative to the MHEG object. +- 12) Extensibility provision used by other standards which describes an extension of this Recommendation. + +## 18 Structure of Action Class + +The action class defines a reusable arrangement of elementary actions. Action objects that are instances of the action class are used in link objects in order to describe their link effects. A given action object may be addressed by many link objects. Several link conditions in different links may be satisfied at the same instant and are assumed to be fired and processed in parallel. Therefore, the processing of actions describing the link effect has a local effect limited to the link itself. + +The MHEG action class consists of following information: + +- 1) A synchro indicator specifies the type of processing of the synchronised actions. Two values are defined: “parallel” and “serial”. When it is set to “serial”, all the actions within the “synchronised action set” are processed in serial. When it is set to parallel, all these actions are processed in parallel (see 31.3). Since synchronised actions may be processed in parallel, it is the author’s responsibility to take into account any side effects due to the parallelism. Specification of contradictory actions is deprecated. + +### NOTES + +1 – An action object that calls for a parallel Run and stop of an rt-content is ambiguous since the final state is not defined. + +2 – An action object that calls in the same serial group for an rt-content to run and stop after a delay of one second is not ambiguous. The rt-content is to be presented for one second. + +3 – An MHEG engine is not required to perform true parallel processing, but authors must organise the group as if they were to be processed in parallel. + +- 2) A synchronised action set is a set of elementary actions and/or other embedded action objects. + +Using this structure, an author is able to describe the following action objects: + +- Basic action object (see 18.2); +- Nested action object (see 18.3); +- Macro action object (see 18.4). + +### 18.1 Elementary actions + +This Recommendation defines a list of elementary actions that may be included in an action object to modify the behaviour of MHEG entities (see Section 4, “MHEG entities common behaviour”), e.g. Prepare, Run. The structure of each elementary action is as follows: + +- 1) A target set is defined as a list of generic references or only one generic reference. Each elementary action is to be processed on the specified target set. If more than one target is specified in the target set, whatever the value of the synchro indicator is, the elementary action is processed in parallel on all the targets specified in the target set. Authors should assume that the MHEG engine applies the elementary action to the multiple targets in parallel. + +A common target set can be specified for several elementary actions by using the alias mechanism (see 10.3) or macro parameter mechanism (see clause 13). + +- 2) An optional transition duration may be provided for some elementary actions. A transition duration is expressed in GTU. When a transition duration is specified, the corresponding elementary action is to be processed during this transition duration. When no transition duration is specified, a null duration is taken into account. +- 3) The specific action parameters are defined for each elementary action (see Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8). + +## 18.2 Basic action object + +A basic action object contains only elementary actions. It does not contain macro parameters or embedded action objects within its synchronised action set. + +NOTE – The using application is responsible for determining the appropriate number of elementary actions. + +In Figure 22, the MHEG engine completes the parallel processing of the MHEG effect of elementary action 1 on targets T1, T2 and T3. When completed, the MHEG effect of elementary action 2 is processed on T4. + +![Diagram of a basic action object structure. A rectangular box is divided into two sections.

The embedded action object can be itself a nested action object. A complete hierarchy of action objects can be designed using this mechanism. + +NOTE – The using application is responsible for determining the appropriate depth of nesting. + +In the example of Figure 23, the MHEG engine processes the MHEG effect of elementary action 1 on target T. When completed, the MHEG engine processes, in parallel, the MHEG effect of elementary action A on target S and the MHEG effect of elementary action B on target R. When completed, the MHEG effect of elementary action 2 is processed on target R. + +## 18.4 Macro action object + +In order to produce efficient coding of frequently used action objects in which only a few values change from one link to another, the synchro indicator attribute of an action object and each parameter of an elementary action may be specified as a macro parameter value. A macro action object contains at least one macro parameter value. Each macro parameter value is resolved when the link object which uses this action is fired (see 19.3 for more details). + +# 19 Structure of Link Class + +An MHEG link class is defined for specifying spatial, temporal and conditional relations between, and actions upon, MHEG entities. The link contains a condition, which when satisfied evaluates to true or provokes the processing of actions on targets that produce the required effect.

Several link conditions in different links may be satisfied at the same instant and are assumed to be fired and processed in parallel by the MHEG engine. + +The link object is separated from the objects that produce the triggering contexts. The basic behaviour of each MHEG entity (e.g. volume, channel on/off) is part of the entity itself. During the life of the entities, change in the behaviour can be used to trigger a separate link object that calls for the actions to be processed. These actions, in turn, modify the basic behaviour of any other MHEG entity, for example, to increase a volume. This may in turn generate further changes in behaviour and trigger further links. + +Each instance of a link class contains a link condition and a link effect. + +Using this structure, an author is able to describe the following types of link objects: + +- Basic link object (see 19.3); +- Nested link object (see 19.4); +- Macro link object (see 19.5). + +## 19.1 Link condition + +The link condition is defined as either a trigger condition (see 19.1.1) or a logical combination of trigger and constraint conditions (see 0). + +The link condition is evaluated as follows: + +- 1) When a link object becomes active, the link condition is evaluated to false. +- 2) If the link condition is a single trigger condition, the link condition evaluates the value of the trigger condition. If the link condition is a logical combination of conditions, the link condition evaluates the value of the top node of the logical tree combining the conditions (see Figure 25). +- 3) If the link condition is evaluated to true, the link is fired, i.e. its link effect is processed by the MHEG engine (see 31.2). If the link condition is evaluated to false or “undefined”, the link is not fired, i.e. its link effect is not processed. + +A link may be fired several times during its activation, each time its link condition becomes true. + +![Diagram of Link object structure showing Link condition and Link effect components.](32d36dfe7dc75b7c63f8edf0f28e4009_img.jpg) + +**Link object** + +The diagram illustrates the structure of a Link object, which is divided into two main sections: **Link condition** and **Link effect**. + +**Link condition** is further divided into two options, separated by the word "or": + +- Single trigger condition**: A box representing a single condition. +- Logical combinations of conditions**: A tree structure where: + - Black circles represent **Logical operators**. + - Rectangles represent **Trigger condition** or **Constraint condition**. + - Lines connect operators to their respective conditions. + +**Link effect** contains two boxes: + +- Resolution of macros (optional)**: A box for macro resolution. +- Action object (simple, nested or macro action)**: A box for the action to be performed. + +T0825700-96/023 + +Diagram of Link object structure showing Link condition and Link effect components. + +**Figure 24/T.171 – Link object structure** + +![Two examples of logical trees describing combinations of conditions.](66e89867f97592fd4bfab0e4f2b2054f_img.jpg) + +The diagram shows two examples of logical trees: + +**Example 1 (Top):** + +- Root node: **AND** (true) + - Left child: **OR** (true) + - Left child: **Trigger A** (true) + - Right child: **Trigger B** (false) + - Right child: **AND** (true) + - Left child: **Constraint C** (true) + - Right child: **XOR** (true) + - Left child: **Constraints D** (false) + - Right child: **Constraints E** (true) + - Right child: **Constraints F** (false) + +**Example 2 (Bottom):** + +- Root node: **OR** (false) + - Left child: **AND** (false) + - Left child: **Trigger G** (false) + - Right child: **Constraint H** (true) + - Right child: **NOT** (false) + - Child: **AND** (true) + - Left child: **Trigger I** (true) + - Right child: **Constraint J** (true) + +Two examples of logical trees describing combinations of conditions. + +T0825710-96/d024 + +**Figure 25/T.171 – Examples of logical tree describing a logical combination of conditions** + +### 19.1.1 Trigger condition + +A trigger condition describes the occurrence of a change in MHEG entities' behaviour triggering the link. The trigger is described as a change of attribute or status value of an MHEG entity. The following behaviour changes are triggerable: + +- 1) Temporal changes: Provoked by timestones or delay. +- 2) Action changes: Consequences of any elementary action. +- 3) Interaction changes: Occur, for example, when the user selects a menu or clicks on a button. +- 4) Any catalogued event changes: Occur, for example, when a system event happens. + +The trigger condition is expressed as a transition, i.e. as a double condition on the same source. It is composed of the following: + +- a source value; +- a previous condition, which expresses the condition to be satisfied before the transition occurs; +- a current condition, which expresses the expected condition to satisfy after the transition occurs. + +A trigger condition evaluates a boolean value or “undefined”. The following applies: + +- 1) When a link object becomes active, each trigger condition is evaluated to false. +- 2) Evaluates the previous condition of each trigger condition. +- 3) The source value of each trigger condition is an evaluated value on a target attribute or a status, e.g. get preparation status (target). When the value of this attribute or status changes, the following steps are applied for the corresponding trigger condition: + - a) assigns this value to the current comparison value and evaluates the current condition; + - b) evaluates the trigger condition by processing the following logical operation: “previous condition” AND “current condition”: + - i) if the result is true and if the link condition is defined as a single trigger condition, the link condition is evaluated to true; + - ii) if the result is true and if this trigger condition is part of a logical combination of conditions, this logical combination of conditions is to be evaluated (see 19.1.8). + - c) Evaluates the trigger condition to false. + - d) Go to 2. + +NOTE – Steps 3) a) and 3) d) should be considered as an atomic operation for link, i.e. if a value tested by a trigger condition changes when the MHEG engine is processing steps 3) a) to 3) d), the processing of such a change is delayed until the current processing enters in step 3). + +Table 1 shows some examples of trigger conditions. In the example, Get CV (rt-content N) means Get CV action targeted to the rt-content N in order to retrieve the current audible volume (CV), Get Event (rt-content N) means Get Event action targeted to the rt-content N in order to retrieve the number of most recently happened event, and Get Data (content A) means Get Data action targeted to the content object A in order to retrieve the contained generic value contained. + +**Table 1/T.171 — Examples of trigger conditions** + +| Trigger source value | Previous condition | | Current condition | | Semantics | Nature of the Change | +|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|-------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| | Operator | Previous value | Operator | Current value | | | +| Get CV

It expresses a required contextual state at the moment when one of the trigger conditions is satisfied. A constraint condition makes it possible to specify more precisely the context in which the link condition will be satisfied. + +A constraint condition is composed of a source value and a current condition which expresses the expected condition to satisfy. + +NOTE – Constraints do not require a previous condition because they express contextual states at the moment when the trigger is satisfied. + +A constraint condition evaluates a boolean value or “undefined”. It is satisfied when the specified current condition is satisfied for the source value. The constraint conditions are to be evaluated at the instant when one of the trigger conditions becomes true. + +Table 2 shows some examples of constraint conditions. + +**Table 2/T.171 – Examples of constraint conditions** + +| Source Value | Current condition | | Semantics | +|-----------------------|-------------------|----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| | Operator | Current Value | | +| Get CV (rt-content N) | < | 5 | rt-content N has CV value less than five. | +| Get CV (rt-content N) | < | Get Data (content A) | rt-content N has CV value less than that of the value in content object A. | +| Get CV (rt-content N) | == | 5 | rt-content N has CV value equal to five. | + +### 19.1.3 Source value + +The source value is a value used as the base of the comparison described in the previous condition and the current condition. The presence of the source value in the condition is mandatory. + +The source value is always provided by an evaluated value, i.e. it is expressed as a result of a get action. + +### 19.1.4 Comparison value + +The comparison value is a value that is to be compared to the source value using the comparison operator in the previous and the current conditions. The presence of the comparison value in the condition is mandatory. + +The comparison value is specified as one of the following: + +- 1) An evaluated value, i.e. it is expressed as a result of a get action. +- 2) A constant value. +- 3) One of the comparison value constants defined by this Recommendation, e.g. “ready”, “not ready” for the preparation status. +- 4) “Unspecified” value to indicate that the value to be compared with the source is not important; what is important is that the value has changed. The following applies: + - a) Within a trigger condition: + - i) Within the previous condition: It means that the trigger condition is on a change of the source value whatever its previous value was. + - ii) Within the current condition: It means that it is a condition on a change of the source value whatever its current value becomes. + +- iii) Within both the previous and the current condition: It means that it is a condition on a change of value whatever its previous value was and whatever its current value becomes. + +The current value can be the same as the previous value, but the engine as wilfully set the same value to an attribute or a status. This is particularly useful for successive rising of the same event (see 6.3.7) or timestone (see 72.16.14), i.e. the same event may occur several times, each time the event identifier is set to the corresponding value. + +- b) Within a constraint condition: It means that the constraint condition is always evaluated to true. + +### 19.1.5 Previous condition + +The previous condition is used in trigger condition only. It is composed of a comparison operator and a previous comparison value. + +The previous comparison value is a generic value (see clause 11). + +When the previous condition is omitted, the previous condition is to be interpreted as the negation of the indicated current condition, and the following applies: + +- the comparison operator of the previous condition is the negation of the comparison operator of the current condition; +- the comparison value of the previous condition is the same as the comparison value of the current condition. + +The previous condition is satisfied when the result of the comparison operation between the source value and the previous comparison value using the specified comparison operator is evaluated to true. + +### 19.1.6 Current condition + +The current condition is mandatory in a generic condition, and it is composed of a comparison operator and the current comparison value. + +The current comparison value is a generic value (see clause 11). + +The current condition is satisfied when the result of the comparison operation between the source value and the current comparison value using the specified comparison operator is evaluated to true. + +### 19.1.7 Comparison operator + +The comparison operator used in the previous and the current condition is one of the following: + +- == Comparison for equality; +- != Comparison for inequality; +- < Comparison for strict inferiority; +- <= Comparison for inferiority or equality; +- > Comparison for strict superiority; +- >= Comparison for superiority or equality. + +NOTE 1 – A using application may provide other comparison operators. + +A comparison operation is a comparison between the source and a comparison value.

For example: (10/100) == (10/omitted) is true. + +- b) A generic ratio is reduced if it is not irreducible. This reduction should be done only for comparison purposes. The value of the generic ratio still remains as it was before reduction. For example: (10/100) becomes (1/10) for comparison. + - c) A generic ratio is considered as a list containing two generic integer elements. So, the comparison between two lists applies (see below). +- 2) The comparison between strings is made at the level of each character. The uppercase characters are distinguished from the lowercase characters. +- NOTE 3 – It is similar to a comparison between two lists (see below). The strings need to have the same size, and each character needs to be identical. +- NOTE 4 – Examples: Comparison of strings: “HELLO” == “HELLO” is true. “hello” == “HELLO” is false. “Hello” != “Hello” is false. +- 3) The comparison of two references is made on the addressed entities. Two different references may address the same entity. In that case, the comparison for equality is evaluated to true. A comparison may be made between references addressing groups of entities. In that case, the comparison is made at the level of the addressed entities. The comparison for equality between two groups not having the same number of entities is evaluated to false. When the MHEG engine is unable to compare two references, the result of the comparison is evaluated to the value “undefined”. +- NOTE 5 – This situation may occur when references are not yet resolved by the MHEG engine or when a reference addresses an unknown object. +- NOTE 6 – For example: A content object has an MHEG-ID as 1000 and its external ID is “e:\mydir\content.mhg”. 1000 == “e:\mydir\content.mhg” is true. If an alias, e.g. ContentA, is assigned to this content, ContentA == 1000 is true, ContentA != “e:\mydir\content.mhg” is false. +- 4) Two lists shall be compared as follows: +- a) If the two lists have different lengths (i.e. not the same number of elements), the result of the comparison is evaluated to false. + - b) If the two lists have the same length (i.e. the same number of elements), the comparison is realised at the level of each element. Two elements in the same position of the two lists are compared using the comparison operator: + - i) If one of the comparisons at the level of elements is evaluated to false, the comparison at the level of the list is evaluated to false. + - ii) If one of the comparisons at the level of elements is evaluated to “undefined”, the comparison at the level of the list is evaluated to “undefined”. + - iii) Otherwise the comparison at the list level is evaluated to true. A logical AND operation is processed between the result of each compared elements. + - c) Two lists of length zero are considered to be strictly equal. For example: comparison of generic list of generic numeric: (2, 3, 5) == (2, 3) is false, (2, 3, 5) == (2, 3, 5) is true, (2, 3, 5) == (2, 4, 5) is false, (2, 3, 5) > (0, 1, 6) is false because 6 > 5, () <= () is true. +- 5) The result of a comparison between non-compatible types is always evaluated to the value false. For example: comparison of non-compatible values: 3 != true is false, 5 != “a” is false. +- 6) The comparison of two values is always gives the value “undefined” if one of the values is an “undefined” value. For example: (2, 3, 5) == (2, undefined, 5) is “undefined”, (2, 3, 5) > (0, 1, undefined) is “undefined”, “undefined” == “undefined” is “undefined”, “undefined” == “unspecified” is “undefined”. +- 7) A given comparison value may be specified by the author as “unspecified” in the place of any comparison value. The comparison of a value with an “unspecified” value always gives true except if the value to be compared is “undefined”. +- NOTE 7 – For example: (2, 5, 7) <= (2, unspecified, unspecified) is true, (2, 5, 7) >= (2, unspecified, unspecified) is true, “Hello” == unspecified is true, “undefined” <= “unspecified” is “undefined”. +- NOTE 8 – Distinguish clearly between “undefined” and “unspecified” values. The value “undefined” is not provided by an author. It is always a result of a get action with an error or a result of a comparison operation containing a source value or a comparison value evaluated to “undefined”. The value “unspecified” is a wilful omission by the author. + +### 19.1.8 Logical combination + +A logical combination of conditions is defined as follows: + +- 1) A logical operator defines a logical operator to be applied to the list of conditions. +- 2) A list of conditions. Each condition is either a trigger condition, a constraint condition, or another logical combination of conditions. It is a recursive structure. If the operator NOT is used, the list of conditions shall contain only one condition. If the other operators are used, the list of conditions shall contain at least two conditions. + +A logical combination of conditions has the form of a logical tree. The leaves of the logical tree are trigger or constraint conditions. A logical operator is attached to each node. + +The two trees described in Figure 25 show different combinations of conditions. Any other types of combinations may be provided. Some combinations are meaningless, for example OR (Trigger Condition K, Trigger Condition L, Constraint Condition M). In that case, the constraint condition is useless. + +The evaluation of the logical combination of conditions is as follows: + +- 1) Each trigger condition is evaluated as specified in 19.1.1. +- 2) Each time one of the trigger conditions becomes true, the following applies: + - a) each constraint condition is evaluated as specified in 0; + - b) then each node is evaluated as follows in a bottom up manner: + - i) the logical operator attached to the node is applied on the evaluated conditions attached to this node, as specified in 19.1.9; + - ii) each node evaluates the result of the previous logical operation, i.e. a boolean value or “undefined”. +- 3) The link condition evaluates the value of the top node, i.e. the logical tree’s root in Figure 25. + +### 19.1.9 Logical operator + +The logical operator is used within a logical operation. The following logical operators are defined: + +- 1) AND: logical and; +- 2) OR: logical or; +- 3) XOR: logical exclusive or; +- 4) NOT: logical negation. + +A logical operation is composed of a logical operator and a list of operands. The result of the logical operation is evaluated as follows when the operator NOT is used: + +- 1) If the operator NOT is used with one operand, the result is as follows: + +| | | | +|--------------------|------------|-------------| +| a) NOT True | evaluates: | False | +| b) NOT False | evaluates: | True | +| c) NOT “undefined” | evaluates: | “undefined” | +- 2) Otherwise the result is “undefined”. + +The result of the logical operation is evaluated as follows when operator NOT is used: + +- 1) If the operator AND, OR or XOR is used with n operands, n greater than 2, the logical operation is decomposed in n-1 operations, that are evaluated from left to right. + +For example: AND (c1, c2, c3, ..., cn-1, cn) is decomposed as +AND(...AND(AND(AND(c1, c2), c3), ...), cn) +- 2) If the operator AND is used on two operands, the result is as follows: + +| | | | +|--------------------------------|------------|-------------| +| a) True AND True | evaluates: | True | +| b) False AND False | evaluates: | False | +| c) “undefined” AND “undefined” | evaluates: | “undefined” | +| d) True AND False | evaluates: | False | +| e) True AND “undefined” | evaluates: | “undefined” | +| f) False AND “undefined” | evaluates: | “undefined” | + +- 3) If the operator OR is used on two operands, the result is as follows: + - a) True OR True evaluates: True + - b) False OR False evaluates: False + - c) “undefined” OR “undefined” evaluates: “undefined” + - d) True OR False evaluates: True + - e) True OR “undefined” evaluates: True + - f) False OR “undefined” evaluates: False +- 4) If the operator XOR is used on two operands, the result is as follows: + - a) True XOR True evaluates: False + - b) False XOR False evaluates: False + - c) “undefined” XOR “undefined” evaluates: “undefined” + - d) True XOR False evaluates: True + - e) True XOR “undefined” evaluates: “undefined” + - f) False XOR “undefined” evaluates: “undefined” +- 5) If the operator AND, OR or XOR is used on one operand, the result is “undefined”. + +## 19.2 Link Effect + +The link effect contains the following information: + +- 1) An optional macro resolution used to assign a usage value to each macro parameter. The macro resolution is defined as a list of macro parameter resolutions. Each macro parameter resolution is defined as: + - a) macro Def ID identifies one of the macro parameters; + - b) macro usage value specified as a generic value. +- 2) An action, which may be a Basic action object (see 18.2), a nested action object (see 18.3) or a macro action object (see 18.4). + +The link effect is processed as specified in 31.2 when the link condition becomes satisfied, i.e. it becomes evaluated to true. + +## 19.3 Basic link object + +A basic link object is defined as a combination of a basic link condition and a basic link effect. The combinations that can be made can form a simple link object or a more complex one. + +A basic link condition does not contain any macro parameter. The following basic link conditions can be defined: + +- 1) TC; +- 2) simple logical combination of conditions, e.g. TC AND CC, TC1 OR TC2; +- 3) complex logical combination of TC and CC, e.g. NOT (((TC1 AND CC1) OR (TC2 AND NOT (CC3 AND CC4 AND CC5)) XOR (TC3 AND CC6)). + +A basic link effect does not contain any Activate actions (targeted to link objects). The following basic link effects can be defined: + +- 1) no macro parameter resolution and a basic action object; +- 2) no macro parameter resolution and a nested action object; +- 3) a set of macro parameter resolution and a macro action. + +## 19.4 Nested link object + +In order to describe more complex behaviour, a nested link object may be provided by an author. A nested link object contains an Activate elementary action within its link effect. The target of this Activate elementary action is called embedded link object. When the nested link object fires, the embedded link object is activated. + +The embedded link object can be itself a nested link object. A complete hierarchy of link objects can be designed using this mechanism. + +NOTE – For example, considering the link objects L1, L2 and L3 as follows: + +- L1 has LE1 as (run Image1, activate L2); +- L2 has LE2 as (run Image2, activate L3); +- L3 has LE3 as (run Content6). + +If the link condition of L1 is satisfied, presentation of Image1 begins and embedded L2 is activated each time due to the LE1. If the link condition of L2 is satisfied after this activation of L2, presentation of Image2 begins and embedded L3 is activated due to the LE2. And so on. + +The links L2 and L3 are called embedded links from the L1 point of view. The link L3 is called embedded link from the L2 point of view. + +## 19.5 Macro link object + +In order to produce efficient coding of frequently used link objects in which only a few values change from one link condition to another, a macro link object is an embedded link object which contains at least one macro parameter value within its link condition. Each macro parameter value is resolved when it is activated from a nested link object (see 6.3.13). + +NOTE – The macro link object needs to be an embedded link object, otherwise the macro parameter value will never be resolved, so the link condition described will never be satisfied. + +## 20 Structure of Model Class + +The model objects, instance of model classes, may be interchanged within or across using applications. A model object is considered as a template object. From this model, rt-objects may be created based on instructions given by the author. + +The model class is an abstract class inherited by script class and component class. + +Any number of rt-objects may be created from a given model object. The activation of an rt-object does not affect the model object. This allows the reuse of the same model object in different contexts, i.e. different rt-objects. + +The internal representation of the rt-objects is not defined by this Recommendation. Each MHEG engine will have its own internal representation technique. + +NOTE – The model class contains no interchange attribute. + +## 21 Structure of Script Class + +An MHEG script class is defined for specifying complex conditional actions upon MHEG entities. The script objects, instances of script class, may be interchanged within or across applications. A script object is as a model object. From this model, rt-scripts may be created based on instructions given by the author. + +The MHEG script class provides the following information for the interchange of scripts. + +- Optional script classification (see clause 14): Provides as an assistance in determining the type of the script data. +- Script hook (see clause 14): Identifies the scripting language and describes the encoding and decoding information enabling the use of the script data. It is composed of an identification and a description of the scripting language. +- Script data: Inclusion or reference of the encoded script itself or to a “Null-Data”. + +## 22 Structure of Component Class + +The component class is an abstract class inherited by content class and composite class. + +The component objects, instances of component classes, may be interchanged within or across using applications. + +A component object is a model object. From this model, rt-components may be created based on instructions given by the author. + +In addition to the attributes inherited from model class, the component class defines an optional “OPS initialisation” attribute, which is composed of an OD and an OS. This attribute is used to initialise the OPS of each rt-component created from this component object. The OD and OS are used to initialise the OPS-T axis and X, Y, Z axes lengths. The AVR is set to the range value provided by this Recommendation. The OD and OS are provided as an optional assistance to the MHEG engine. It is for the object designer to ensure that this information is compatible with similar information that may be contained in the hook or in the data. + +## 23 Structure of Content Class + +This clause describes the support provided by this Recommendation for the handling of encoded data. This mechanism is common to all types of encoded data and provides a consistent approach to the identification of the type and the interchange of the following: + +- Data that may be presented to, and perceived by, the user, e.g. graphics, audio data. +- Data that cannot be presented to the user in an immediate way. +- Null data that may or may not be presented to the user depending on information given in hook or classification attributes or depending on the styles applied, e.g. a transparent area with a rectangle around the area. +- Generic value stored in the data – This value may be presented to the user depending on information given in hook or classification attributes or depending on the styles applied, e.g. a numeric may be presented as a pure numeric or as a slider, a string as a pure string or as a button. This value may be also used to store a value to be retrieved later, e.g. for a comparison in a link condition or for another attribute assignment. Specific get data and set data actions allow to retrieve and to modify this value, e.g. Set CV [target set, Get Data (content target)]. + +A content object is a model object. From this model, rt-contents may be created based on instructions given by the author. + +An MHEG content class is defined that provides the following information for the type identification and interchange of encoded data: + +- Optional data classification provided as an assistance in determining the type of the data. The classification is either proprietary or registered, e.g. generic value, graphics or video (see clause 14). +- Content Hook describes the encoding and decoding information enabling the use of the encoded data (see clause 14). +- Optional OV provided as an assistance in determining the current audible volume encoded within the data. When provided, this OV shall be defined within the AVR (see 9.1.3). +- Content Data – Inclusion or reference to a generic value, an encoded data provided by other Recommendations and Standards and by this Recommendation or a “Null Data”. The generic value in this Recommendation is encoded in ASN.1 using the syntax defined for Generic Value in the Useful Definition module. + +## 24 Structure of Multiplexed Content Class + +This clause describes the support provided by this Recommendation for the handling of multiplexed data. This mechanism extends the mechanism provided by content class. + +An MHEG multiplexed content class provides a list of ordered streams in addition to the information provided by content class. It describes the streams contained in the multiplexed data. + +Each stream is composed of the following: + +- 1) Stream identifier – Each stream has a unique identification within a multiplex. +- 2) Optional catalogued content classification – It is provided as an assistance in determining the type of this stream (see clause 14). +- 3) Content hook – It describes the encoding and decoding information enabling the use of this stream (see clause 14). + +NOTE – An example of a multiplexed content object: + +- *Data Hook:* + - MPEG-System +- *Data:* + - Multiplexed data +- *Streams:* + - Stream identifier: 2.1, stream hook: MPEG2-Video + - Stream identifier: 2.4, stream hook: MPEG2-Audio + - Stream identifier: 2.5, stream hook: MPEG2-Audio + +## 25 Structure of Composite Class + +This class provides the support for associating multimedia and hypermedia objects. This mechanism provides a consistent approach to the synchronisation in time and space and linking of a set of objects. + +This class provides also the logical structure to describe the list of possible interactions offered to the user but does not define the interaction facilities provided by the user interface. Such interaction may be achieved in a variety of ways, for example, Graphical User Interfaces, keyboards, etc. This Recommendation does not define the look and feel of multimedia interactive presentations, or does it propose to change or add concepts to those that exist in typical Graphical User Interfaces. As this Recommendation is generic and independent of platform and implementation, it describes interaction at a virtual level. It is for a using application to apply these mechanisms using its specific look and feel. + +NOTE 1 – In this way, this Recommendation achieves a consistent interface between an MHEG engine and the user interaction services or other applications, while still allowing the author to maintain the local look and feel. + +Each composite object provides the means to describe one generation of information and its behaviour. Each generation is made up of a list of elements. The element is the basic building block of the composite class. Each element provides also a means to point to another generation defined by another composite object. Thus, a recursive structure is built up with the repetitive use of composite object and pointers in their elements. + +Each generation represents a unit in the logic of the presentation intended by the author. + +There are typically intrinsic relationships between sibling elements of a same generation. + +There are also typical intrinsic relationships of propagation between generations. + +NOTE 2 – A typical use of a composite object is to define one element for each choice to be offered to the user in the main menu. A second composite is used to describe the choices of the submenu. + +NOTE 3 – Another typical use of a composite object is to define elements that are to be presented simultaneously. + +The MHEG composite class provides the following information in addition to a generic identification of the composition: + +- 1) Composition behaviour: This set of behaviours may describe the sequencing and interrelationships between the elements of this composite and the hyperlinking between different kinds of information. The composition behaviour contains the following information: + - a) Predefined behaviour for specifying initial behaviours – The following start-up and close-down are defined: + - i) Availability start-up: When the composite object is prepared. + - ii) Availability close-down: When the composite object is destroyed. + +- iii) rt-availability start-up: When one rt-composite is created from the composite object. +- iv) rt-availability close-down: When one rt-composite is deleted. +- b) A set of links for specifying conditional actions. +- c) A set of actions – Actions and links are used to describe the behaviour of each element and the interrelationships between parent and siblings. +- 2) The number of elements contained in the composition defined by this composite. +- 3) Composition elements – Each composite defines one generation. One generation is composed of the list of all the sibling elements. + +Empty elements are not represented in Figure 26. + +![Figure 26/T.171 – Example of a composite object structure.

The link effect may be used for additional preparation effect of the composite. It is either a personalised link effect provided by the author or one of the following default link effects: + +- Automatic start-up 1: Activate all the included or referenced links within the specific behaviour. +- Automatic start-up 2: Prepare all the referenced associated model objects. +- Automatic start-up 3: Prepare all the referenced action and link objects in specific behaviour. +- Automatic start-up 4: Activate all the included or referenced links within the specific behaviour, and prepare all the referenced associated model objects. +- Automatic start-up 5: Prepare all the referenced associated model objects, and prepare all the referenced action and link objects in specific behaviour. + +When the availability start-up is omitted, there is no start-up effect, i.e. the availability start-up is inhibited. + +NOTE – The availability start-up is a link. It is not to be confused with a constructor.

The link effect may be used for additional destruction effect of the composite. It is either a personalised link effect provided by the author or one of the following default link effects: + +- *Automatic Close-down 1:* + - destruction of referenced link and action objects in the specific behaviour; + - destruction of referenced action objects describing link effect in one of the link objects; + - destruction of nested action objects referenced in action objects included or referenced in composition behaviour; + - when completed, destruction of the availability close-down link itself. +- *Automatic Close-down 2:* + - destruction of referenced associated components within the composition elements; + - when completed, destruction of the availability close-down link itself. +- *Automatic Close-down 3:* + - destruction of referenced link and action objects in the specific behaviour; + - destruction of referenced action objects describing link effect in one of the link objects; + - destruction of nested action objects referenced in action objects included or referenced in composition behaviour; + - destruction of referenced associated components within the composition elements; + - when completed, destruction of the availability close-down link itself. + +When the availability close-down is omitted, there is no close-down effect, i.e. the availability close-down is inhibited. + +NOTE – The availability close-down is a link. It is not to be confused with a destructor. It is processed only when the composite object’s preparation status becomes “not ready”. + +## 25.3 RT-Availability Start-up + +The rt-availability start-up is a link object that always has the same link condition: when an rt-composite is created from this composite, i.e. Get Rt-Availability Status (“this”:?) becomes available. The link effect may be used for additional preparation effect of the rt-composite. It is either a personalised link effect provided by the author or the following default link effect: + +- Automatic Rt-Start-up: Run action is targeted to this rt-composite. + +When the rt-availability start-up is omitted, there is no start-up effect, i.e. the rt-availability start-up is inhibited. + +NOTE – The availability start-up is a link.

The link effect may be used for additional destruction effect of the rt-composite. It is always a personalised link effect provided by the author. When the rt-availability close-down is omitted, there is no close-down effect, i.e. the rt-availability close-down is inhibited. + +NOTE – The availability close-down is a link. It is not to be confused with a distracter of an rt-component. It is processed only when the rt-composite object’s rt-availability status becomes “not available” to each rt-composite created from this composite object. + +## 25.5 Composition Element + +Each element is composed of the following: + +- 1) A composition **element index** – Each element has a unique identification within a composite object. +- 2) A **associated model** – The associated model may be used to associate information to be presented to the user. The model is either a label, a content, a composite, or an empty model: + - a) An label is a generic string – A label may be presented to the user as an interaction item following the style applied to the rt-composite. For example, a label may correspond to a title of a menu or push button. + - b) A content represents a terminal element that is either a content object or a multiplexed content object. + - c) A composite allows the build-up of a parent-child relationship through successive generations. It is the author's responsibility to avoid the appearance of cycle in the composite object, i.e. an element addressing an ascendant. + - d) An empty model – No model is associated with the element. + +When an rt-composite is created from the composite object, the MHEG engine creates rt-objects from the associated models described in the composition (an rt-content from an associated label or an associated content, an rt-composite from an associated composite, a “Null-Root-Rt” from an empty associated model). These rt-objects are plugged into the corresponding sockets within the rt-composite. + +## 25.6 Composition example + +Figure 27 shows an example of a menu using the root rt-composite 700:8 in Figure 20 created from composite 700 in Figure 18.

Each container element can be an instance of any other MHEG classes that may be included or referenced to. It may be one of the following: + +- action object; +- link object; + +- script object; +- content object; +- multiplexed content object; +- composite object; +- container object; +- descriptor object. + +A container element index is assigned to each container element. Each element has a unique identification within a container: the elements are all indexed from 1 to n by the MHEG engine. + +## 27 Structure of Descriptor Class + +This clause describes the support provided for the description of other objects that are interchanged. This description is intended to facilitate the negotiation, installation, operation and management of applications that use MHEG objects. + +It is recognised that different presentation systems may have widely differing capabilities. By interchanging and interpreting descriptor objects, it is possible to adapt the resources of the presentation system to the requirements of the described objects. The descriptor objects allow MHEG engines to determine whether or not they are able to proceed with a presentation and allow using applications to determine the resources that would be needed for a presentation of a set of objects. + +This Recommendation does not require that all objects that are interchanged be the subject of a descriptor object. If no descriptor is associated with an object, it is for the using application to define the description of the object. It is the responsibility of the author to ensure consistency between the descriptor objects and the described objects. This Recommendation does not provide mechanisms to handle errors or inconsistencies in descriptor objects. + +A number of facilities ranging from the informal to the formal may be provided by the descriptor object: + +- set of related objects (see 27.1); +- other descriptor (see 27.2); +- readme (see 27.3); +- system readable material (see 27.4); +- set of channel informations (see 27.5); +- set of catalogued style informations (see 27.6); +- set of catalogued extended elementary action informations (see 27.7); +- set of Cat Ext Attribute Info (see 27.8). + +### 27.1 Related Object + +A set of related objects may be provided in order to specify the scope of the descriptor object. If this set is omitted, the scope of the descriptor object is defined by the using application. In this case, in general, the scope should include all objects belonging to the application. Each related object attribute provides information about a single related object; it is specified as a list of the following attributes: + +- Object reference: Identifies the related object to which this object information applies. +- Object information: Optional. It defines more precisely the related object with the following attributes: + - Object size: Indicates the size of the encoded related object in octets (optional). + - Class ID: Identifies the class of the related object. + - A set of class-specific attributes: This is a choice of attributes sets, which carry object specific information on the related object: + - specific attributes on a related script object (see 27.1.1); + - specific attributes on a related content object (see 27.1.2); + - specific attributes on a related multiplexed content object (see 27.1.3). + - Offset: It provides a relative position in octets of an encoded object that is included in another encoded object (see 27.1.5). + +This Recommendation does not define how to handle contradictory descriptions, if a given related object is described more than once. + +### 27.1.1 Script Class Information + +This provides a set of attributes describing the related script object. The following information may be provided: + +- Script classification: Informs the executing system about the classification of the related script object (see 15.1). +- Script hook: Informs the executing system about the script languages used by the related script object. The executing system may use this information to prepare the corresponding script interpreter or to reject this script object if this script interpreter is not available (see clause 14). + +### 27.1.2 Content Class Information + +This provides a set of attributes describing the related content object. The following information may be provided: + +- Content classification: Informs the executing system about the classification of the related content object (see 15.1). +- Content hook: Informs the executing system about the encoding used for the data of the related content. The executing system may use this information to prepare the corresponding decoder (see clause 14). +- Alternative objects: Provides a facility to indicate alternative content objects that may be used instead of this related content (see 27.1.4). + +### 27.1.3 Mux Content Class Info + +This provides a set of attributes describing the related multiplexed content object. The following information may be provided: + +- Content class information: Informs the executing system about the whole multiplexed data of the related multiplexed content object, i.e. classification, hook, alternative objects (see 27.1.2). +- Number of streams: Reflects the number of streams contained within the multiplexed data of the related object. +- Set of stream information: Each stream information is composed of the following attributes: + - Stream identifier: Identifies a stream within the related multiplexed content object. + - Content class information: A single stream can be regarded as a single content object; therefore, the attribute set that describes a related content is used, i.e. classification, hook, alternative objects (see 27.1.2). + +### 27.1.4 Alternative Object + +This provides information about possible alternative content objects that may replace the related object. + +Alternative content objects may differ in the encoding or in any other attributes from the related object. The using application may use this facility to adapt the data to be presented to the local environment. It is up to the author of the descriptor to ensure the integrity of alternative objects in the context of the related object. + +The alternative objects are described as a list of alternative objects. Each alternative object is composed of the following attributes: + +- A reference to an alternative content object. +- An alternative hook: Specifying the hook of the alternative object. +- An alternative descriptor object: Reference to the descriptor object describing the alternative object. It is optional. +- An alternative readme: Optional and specified as a free format string. It may be used by the using application to identify the nature of the alternative object. For example, in a multi-language application, the readme may carry an identification of the language of the alternative object. It is up to the using application to interpret the meaning of the readme. + +### **27.1.5 Offset** + +An encoded MHEG object may be included within another encoded MHEG object. In order to retrieve this included MHEG object without decoding from the beginning, offset information may be provided. The offset indicates the first octet of the included MHEG object in level-D representation. + +## **27.2 Other Descriptor** + +A set of references to other descriptor objects may be provided and used by the author to connect different descriptor objects. The connected descriptor objects may describe different objects, and the scope of the descriptors may differ. This Recommendation does not define how to handle contradictory descriptions if the scope of two or more descriptors overlap. + +This facility provides a mechanism to create a structured set of descriptors. Possible structures are linked lists or trees. It is in the responsibility of the author to define a useful structure. + +## **27.3 Readme** + +This informal text provides for a human being with the information and encouragement needed to proceed with the installation and operation of the set of related MHEG objects. The choice of words is left to the author, who may use the readme to point to further sources of information and support. + +## **27.4 System Readable Material** + +A using application may place information in the descriptor object which it finds useful. This Recommendation does not define either this information or the encoding used by the application. An author or a using application may include information in the descriptor intended for the MHEG engine. However, the author should be aware that this information may not be portable to other MHEG systems. + +## **27.5 Channel Information** + +A set of channel information may be provided by the author in order for the MHEG engine to map more easily each channel on the real environment. Each channel may be described as follows: + +- Channel ID: Identifies the channel to be described. +- x-min, x-max, y-min, y-max, z-min, z-max: Describe for each spatial axis the minimum and maximum values required for the device associated with this channel. +- x-resolution, y-resolution, z-resolution: Describe for each spatial axis the resolution for the device associated with this channel. This is the number of addressable spatial physical units. +- t-resolution: Describes the temporal resolution for the device associated with this channel. This is the number of addressable temporal physical units within one second. +- f-min, f-max: Define the minimum and maximum presentable frequency required for that channel if audible media are presented on this channel. The units are “hertz”. +- Audio-dynamic: Defines the audio dynamic required for that channel if audible media are presented on this channel. The units are “dB”. +- Media types: Specifies the types of the media of the rt-components assigned on this channel. This allows the MHEG engine to assign channels to physical devices. It is one of the catalogued values that can be either registered or proprietary. However, if the presentation system does not support the requested device, the engine may ignore the media type. +- Events mapping: Specifies the expected events that may occur on this channel or on the rt-components assigned to this channel. It is also possible to assign a catalogued event to each event. This allows an MHEG engine to map the event defined by the author to a real event that may occur in its environment. The catalogued event can be either registered or proprietary. If no mapping on a catalogued event is provided, it is considered that the event identifier provided by the author directly map on catalogued event identifier. If this is not the case, it is for the using application to define how to map the event identifier on a real event. This Recommendation does not define how to handle contradictory descriptions if a given event identifier is mapped more than once. + +This Recommendation does not define how to handle contradictory descriptions if a given channel is described more than once. + +## 27.6 Catalogued Style Information + +A set of catalogued styles may be provided in order to inform the executing system about the catalogued styles used in the Set Style actions interchanged in related action objects. The catalogued style can be either registered or proprietary. + +## 27.7 Cat Ext elementary action info + +A set of catalogued extended elementary actions may be provided in order to inform the executing system about the catalogued extended elementary actions used in the Catalogued elementary action interchanged in related action objects. The catalogued extended elementary actions can be either registered or proprietary. + +## 27.8 Cat Ext Attribute Info + +A set of Cat Ext Attributes may be provided in order to inform the executing system about the Cat Ext Attributes used in the Set Catalogued Attribute actions interchanged in related action and link objects. The Cat Ext Attributes can be either registered or proprietary. + +# SECTION 4 – MHEG ENTITIES COMMON BEHAVIOUR + +This Recommendation defines the expected behaviour and the initial expected behaviour of the MHEG objects, rt-objects and channels through behaviour attributes and their status values. This Recommendation also defines actions to change and retrieve each expected behaviour. The processing effects of these actions that are perceptible to the user are called “user effects”, and the processing effects whose results are only available to the MHEG engine are called “MHEG effect”. Only the MHEG effect is defined by this Recommendation. The user effect is perceived by the user via a certain GUI that decides look and feel of MHEG entities. + +## 28 MHEG entity behaviour + +The initial behaviour of each MHEG entity provided by this Recommendation may be changed by the interchanging the following instances of MHEG classes: + +- Action class used to interchange a set of actions with target references to MHEG objects, rt-objects or channels; +- Link class used to interchange a set of actions and to specify conditions for those actions; +- Script class used to interchange scripts that describe complex behaviours. + +## 29 MHEG entity state definition + +The complete life of an MHEG object, an rt-object or a channel is defined by the following series of diagrams. As some actions are only valid for a certain period of an MHEG entity, the definition of MHEG entity life is used to verify the validity of an action. Two description methods are used as follows: + +- 1) Timing diagrams describe the principal behaviour along with the time as shown in Figure 28. This figure shows a status change of a certain MHEG entity. First, this is in period i. After targeting a certain action to this entity, there is some MHEG effect caused by an MHEG engine or a GUI, but still the entity remains in period i. This means that a Get action targeted to the entity during the processing of an MHEG effect always retrieves the value that was attached to the period (the value in period i). After finishing the processing of the MHEG effect, the entity enters in period j. If the period j has some user effect, the appearance of the entity is changed and perceived by a user. The duration of MHEG effect and possible user effect are shown as in Figure 28. +- 2) Finite state diagrams describe the possible state transitions depending on actions as shown in Figure 29. In this figure, two ellipses (State1, State2) represent states, and 3 boxes (action x, action y, action z) stand for actions that may modify states. The initial status is State1. If action x is targeted, the state remains State1. If action y is targeted after that, the state is changed to State2. And action z causes a retransition to State1. Action x and y are not valid and ignored if the state is State2, and action z is not valid and ignored if the state is State1. + +![Figure 28/T.171: Example of timing diagram.

Two states are defined as follows: + +- **O1:** The MHEG object is not known to the MHEG engine. Even if it is not created, the MHEG object is said to be in period O1. During O1, all MHEG objects except link objects have only one attribute: preparation status which is equal to “not ready”. Link objects additionally have the activation status which is equal to “inactive”. Any other object attributes described in this Recommendation do not exist. Any Get actions evaluate “undefined” to these non-existing attributes. +- **O2:** The MHEG object is available to the MHEG engine. The preparation status of the MHEG object is “ready”. The object has been decoded. All other object attributes have been created and set to their corresponding interchanged values. + +![Timing diagram of MHEG object availability showing objects O1 and O2 over time t.

This link cannot be fired. +- **L2:** The activation status of the link object is “active”. The link object has been activated. During L2, each time the link condition becomes true, the link is fired. The Link Abort action does not affect these states. + +An Activate action targeted to a link whose preparation status is “not ready” implicitly executes a Prepare action. + +A Destroy action may also be targeted in L2.

The period between those two actions makes the life of an MHEG entity. During the life, some attributes associated with the MHEG entity are used. + +The principal rules between an MHEG entity life and associated attributes are as follows: + +- Even if such an MHEG entity does not exist, preparation status (see 29.1), rt-availability status (see 29.4) or channel availability status (see 29.3) exists and is always available. The preparation status is set to “not ready”, the rt-availability status is set to “not ready”, and the channel availability status is set to “not available”. +- If a Prepare action (see 29.1), a New action (29.4) or a New Channel action (see 29.3) is targeted, the MHEG engine is required to instantiate the specified MHEG entity with its corresponding attributes which are described in different behaviours. The presentation status is set to “ready”, the rt-availability status is set to “ready” and the channel availability status is set to “available”. +- If a Destroy action (see 29.1), a Delete action (see 29.4) or a Delete Channel action (see 29.3) is targeted, the MHEG engine is required to remove the specified MHEG entity with its corresponding associated attributes except for the preparation status, rt-availability status and channel availability status that are set to “not ready”, “not ready” and “not available”, respectively. + +Therefore, if an MHEG entity is destroyed or deleted, only the preparation status, the rt-availability status or the channel availability status is changed. And if there is a link whose condition is “when the preparation status becomes “not ready””, “when the rt-availability status becomes “not ready”” or “when the channel availability status becomes “not available””, it shall be triggered. + +On the other hand, other associated attributes with the destroyed or deleted MHEG entity are completely removed without changing their status values. For example, if there is an rt-component which running status is “running”, its running status is removed without changing value. That means the rt-component has been deleted while it was “running”. The running status is no more available after deletion. If there is a link which condition is “when the running status becomes “not running””, it shall not be triggered at the time of the deletion. + +## 31 General action mechanisms + +This clause summarises the general action mechanisms and its treatment to be processed by the MHEG engine. This mechanism is applied for all other behaviours processing as well as common behaviours processing. + +### 31.1 Action treatment + +Actions are to be processed satisfying following conditions: + +- If an MHEG effect of an action contains a list of subeffects, these subeffects are to be performed by the MHEG engine as if they were a single uninterruptable and indivisible operation. +- The effect of processing an action on a set of two or more targets is to propagate the action to each target within the set of targets. These actions are processed in parallel. The MHEG effect of the action ends when the MHEG effects of all propagated actions end. +- In certain cases, in order to process an action, a proceeding action is implicitly executed. This proceeding action may produce a change of status. A link triggered on this change of status is fired before the processing of the specified action ends. + +For example, when an rt-object is made from a model object which is not prepared, this Recommendation specifies that an implicit Prepare action is to be targeted to the model object before the New action. A link whose condition is “when a preparation status of the model becomes ready” is to be triggered when the model object enters in O2, and not when the rt-object enters R2. + +## 31.2 Processing of link effect + +When the link is fired, i.e. the link is activated and the link condition is satisfied, the MHEG engine processes the link effect. Each time the link is fired, the link effect is processed in two phases as follows: + +- The macro resolution phase: If some macros are in this link (see clause 13). +- The action process phase: It consists on processing the action object included or referenced in the link effect. This action object may be a basic action, a nested action or a macro action. + +The link effect is processed as summarised in Figure 45. + +The action process begins when the link condition is satisfied and the macro resolution accomplished, when the action is a macro action. Each action object is a recursive construction containing a group of synchronised actions accompanied by a synchro indicator. + +The synchro indicator specifies if the synchronised actions in the group are to be processed in parallel or in serial. The action group process depends on the synchro indicator. If a synchro indicator attribute is specified as a macro and if this macro is resolved as the value “undefined”, the entire synchronised action set is not processed. + +``` +BEGIN ACTION PROCESS of action object within the link effect + IF synchro indicator == serial + FOR J = 1 TO number_of_synchronised_actions + DO + IF synchronised_action J == elementary_action + PERFORM target resolution of elementary_action J + PERFORM the action effect of elementary_action J on the target set + ELSE IF synchronised_action J == action_object + PERFORM RECURSIVE ACTION PROCESS of action_object J + ENDIF + WAIT FOR the end of MHEG effect of synchronised_action J + ELSE IF synchro_indicator == parallel + FOR J = 1 TO number_of_synchronised_actions + DO SIMULTANEOUSLY + IF synchronised_action J == elementary_action + PERFORM target resolution of elementary_action J + PERFORM the action effect of elementary_action J on the target set + ELSE IF synchronised_action J == action_object + PERFORM RECURSIVE ACTION PROCESS on action_object J + ENDIF + ENDIF + ENDIF + WAIT FOR the end of MHEG effect of each action in each "synchronised actions" + WAIT FOR the end of user effect of each action 'run' in each "synchronised actions" + DURING that time IF a target is "running" AND + IF its current temporal position == its terminal temporal position + PERFORM a Stop action on this target + END OF ACTION PROCESS of action object within the link effect +``` + +**Figure 45/T.171 – Action process phase** + +### 31.2.1 Serial action processing + +If all the elementary actions contained in a serial action group are specified to be processed, each elementary action is processed sequentially after the MHEG effect of the previous elementary action is completed. + +Figure 46 shows an example.

This typically results in a change of status or behaviour attribute value. See some examples in Figures 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 44. +- **User effect without transition duration:** This effect exists only if the running status is “running”. This effect begins at the instance when the MHEG effect of the Run action ends. This user effect lasts until the MHEG effect of the Stop action ends. The user effect is perceptible by the user during the “running”. Each time a presentation attribute of the target is changed, if the target is “running”, the user effect immediately reflects this change. See some examples in Figures 38 and 40. +- **MHEG Effect with transition duration:** This begins at the instance when an action specifying a non-null transition duration is targeted to an entity. It ends when the action has been taken into account by the MHEG engine. If the target is not running, the transition duration is set to zero and ignored. See some examples in Figures 41, 42 and 43. +- **User Effect with transition duration:** This effect exists only when a target is running and a set action with a non-null transition duration is targeted to it. This effect begins at the instance when the MHEG effect of the transition duration begins. The effect of the action is perceptible to the user gradually from the previous value to the specified value. Once the MHEG effect of the transition duration ends, the user effect with transition duration ends. See examples in Figures 41, 42 and 43. + +### 31.4 Resolution of target set + +A single target (e.g. an MHEG object, a container element, an rt-object, a socket element, a channel) or multiple targets (e.g. some targets, an alias addressing several entities, all the rt-objects made from a model object, all the children of a specified entity) may be specified for each elementary action. Multiple targets are specified as a list of targets. The action effect for each target within a list should be processed in parallel. + +#### NOTES + +- 1 – Authors should not rely on the order in which the parallel actions are executed. +- 2 – An MHEG engine is not required to perform true parallel processing. + +Processing an action on an undefined target has no effect. + +### 31.5 Arithmetic precision + +Percentage and ratio may be specified in some of elementary actions’ parameters, for example, Set GTF, Set OVD. And ratio is also used in mapping OPS to RPS. + +The general rule to calculate percentage and ratio is that full precision operation should be taken up to the final presentation of objects. Rounding should be done only for the final presentation of objects, i.e. in the final chain of OPS to CPS at channels. + +#### NOTES + +- 1 – If an rt-object with CV 17 is connected to rt-composite A with GVF 1/3 that is connected to rt-composit B with GTF 3 and rt-composite B is connected to a channel, the final volume to be mapped to a physical device is 17 (Round( $17 \times 1/3 \times 3$ )) and not 18 (Round(Round( $17 \times 1/3$ ) $\times 3$ )). +- 2 – In above example with changing GTF of rt-composite B to 2, the final volume is 11 (Round( $17 \times 1/3 \times 2$ )). +- 3 – A profile of this Recommendation or a using application may define another arithmetic precision and rounding policies. + +## 32 Common action effects and handling + +This clause describes common action effects and handling for all elementary actions and get actions applied for all behaviours throughout this Recommendation. The actual process of elementary actions and get actions is outside the scope of this Recommendation, and should be provided by the MHEG engine. + +### 32.1 Elementary actions + +Common action effects and handling to all elementary actions are as follows: + +- If the MHEG engine is unable to perform the required MHEG effect of an elementary action, it is recommended, but not required, that the MHEG engine notify the using application of it. +- If the effect of targeting an elementary action to an MHEG object, an rt-object or a channel is not described in this Recommendation, this action is ignored by the MHEG engine. +- If the whole set of targets becomes no more available during the processing of an elementary action (i.e. all the targets within the set are destroyed or deleted), the process of this action is aborted. +- If a reference to a target of an elementary action except for Prepare, Activate, New and New Channel actions is invalid, the elementary action is ignored (i.e. with a null effect and completed immediately). +- If a target within a set of targets for an elementary action does not exist, this action is ignored only for that target. +- If the reference specification defines an empty set of MHEG objects, rt-objects or channels, the reference is ignored. +- If the reference is ignored, the MHEG engine behaves as if no entity is addressed. +- If a Prepare, New or New Channel action is applied to an MHEG entity which has an identifier already assigned to an MHEG entity currently available to the MHEG engine, that action is ignored. +- If an elementary action is targeted to an rt-object in period R2 with a transition duration parameter, the specified transition parameter value is ignored and the elementary action is performed as if the transition duration is set to 0. +- If an elementary action is targeted to an rt-object in period R3 with a transition duration parameter, the specified transition parameter value is interpreted by the GTU assigned for the target. The presentation of the target is being gradually changed depending on the elementary action and changing presentation attribute. +- If a transition duration parameter is specified as a negative value, it is set to 0. +- This Recommendation does not define the behaviour of the MHEG engine that is executing a sequential synchronised actions group while one or more actions fail. + +If some user effect is associated with an elementary action, it is explained in the corresponding clause of the elementary action. If there is nothing about the user effect explained in the clause, no user effect is associated with the elementary action. + +### 32.2 Get actions + +Common action effects and handling to all get actions are as follows: + +- If a reference to a target of a get action except for Get Preparation Status, Get Activation Status, Get Rt-availability Status and Get Channel Availability actions is invalid, the result is to be evaluated to “undefined”. +- If an MHEG engine is unable to evaluate a get action, this action is evaluated to “undefined”. +- If a reference to multiple entities (e.g. children tail, descendant tail) is specified, this reference is ignored. The target of a get action needs to address a single entity. +- If the reference is ignored, the MHEG engine behaves as if no entity is addressed. + +### 32.3 Recommended exception handling + +This Recommendation does not define any exception handling within the MHEG engine, but recommends following treatments on some situations: + +- 1) If an object whose encoding does not conform to this Recommendation is provided to the MHEG engine, ignoring the whole object is recommended. +- 2) If non-existing entities are referenced except for targets of elementary actions and get actions, following are recommended depending on the invalid reference: + - a) in a link condition, respective conditions are evaluated to “undefined”; + - b) otherwise (e.g. in a composition element), they are replaced by null objects. + +These replacement behaviours are withdrawn as soon as the referenced object comes into existence. + +- 3) If an object receives an action for which the corresponding behaviour is not defined by this Recommendation, ignoring this action is recommended. For example, Delete action targeted to a content object, a Set action with an unsupported value targeted to an rt-object. + +The behaviour may be defined in an extension to this Recommendation defined by another standard or a using application. + +- 4) If other exceptions, e.g. request for a presentation aspect not supported by the presentation environment, or runtime failures like insufficient memory, happen, graceful degradation and sensible fall backs are encouraged. + +## 33 Postpone Behaviour + +This behaviour postpones the process of any actions.

The result of this evaluation is set in the preparation status. The following applies (see Figure 31). + +- 1) When an MHEG object is not available to the MHEG engine, its preparation status is evaluated to “not ready”, i.e. the MHEG object is in period O1.

This takes into account the needs of minimal resource systems: + +- a) Container object: Implicit Activate actions are targeted to the “container start-up” and “container close-down” links. + +The object designer may specify, within these links, an explicit sequencing of preparation of the objects, and so make these objects available to the MHEG engine when needed, in order to take into account the needs of minimal resource systems. + +- b) Descriptor object: The descriptor information (included or referenced) is made available to the MHEG engine. + +It is expected that the MHEG engine evaluates the information provided by the descriptor during the execution of the Prepare action.

Other behaviours are destroyed. + +NOTE 5 – Object designers should be aware that the rt-objects disappear if the original model object is destroyed. + +NOTE 6 – It is not defined by this Recommendation how to handle the disappearance of the rt-objects. It is left to the MHEG engine. + - d) Script object: The script data (included or referenced) is destroyed. + +Object designers should be aware of side effects that may occur if this script data is referenced in another script object. + - e) Content object: The content data (included or referenced) is destroyed. + +Object designers should be aware of side effects that may occur if this content object data is referenced in another content object. + - f) Composite object: + - i) Implicit Destroy actions are targeted to the “availability start-up”, “rt-availability start-up” and “rt-availability close-down”; + - ii) Implicit Destroy actions are targeted to the links and action objects included in the specific behaviour; + +- iii) Implicit Destroy actions are targeted to the included component objects associated with the composition elements; + - iv) Associated model objects and labels are also destroyed. +- g) Container object: An implicit Destroy action is targeted to the “availability start-up” link. +- 2) Set the preparation status of the target to “not ready”. The target enters in period O1. These additional effects are to be processed on the following targets: + - a) Link object: The activation behaviour is changed to “inactivate”. + - b) Model object: The rt-availability behaviour is changed to “not available”. + - c) Composite object: availability close-down link is fired, i.e. its link effect is processed.

These elementary actions are directly contained in the link effect or in a nested action object. The rest of the elementary actions contained within the link effect or some nested action objects are not processed. +- 2) If the aborted elementary action is processing the MHEG effect changing an attribute value, the following applies: + - a) If it is without a transition duration, the value is not changed. + - b) Otherwise (with a transition duration), the value becomes the current changing value. + +What is aborted is the process of the transition duration. That is why the presentation attribute value on which the changing with transition duration is under processing stops its changing at its current value. This is a different effect from a Stop action targeted during that time (see Figure 42). + +- 3) If the aborted elementary action is a Run action, an implicit Stop action is targeted to the same target of the Run action. + +If the aborted elementary action has a set of targets, the effect depends on the processing state of this elementary action on each target. + +#### NOTES + +1 – Suppose one Prepare action is targeted to both Object A and Object B within the link L1, and the MHEG effect of the Prepare action for Object A is already terminated (i.e. Object A is in period O2), but the MHEG effect of that for Object B is still under processing (i.e. Object B is in period O1). In this case, if a Link Abort action is targeted to L1, the preparation status of Object A is evaluated as “ready”, however, that of Object B is “not ready”. + +2 – A Link Abort action does not affect a link activation status. A link can fire even if a Link Abort action targeted to it is being processed. Only the actions originated by a link before the Link Abort action is targeted to such link are affected by the Link Abort action. + +3 – It is advised to limit the use of Link Abort actions as much as possible.

The specified generic value is stored in the specified generic list element ID, and other elements until the last path numeric in the specified generic list element ID should be filled with “unspecified” (see Figure 50). + - ii) Otherwise, this action is ignored. + - b) Otherwise (the target is a generic list): + - i) If the specified generic list element ID exists in the target: + - If the substitution indicator is “substitution”, the specified generic value is stored in the specified element ID, overwriting the previous value (see Figure 51). + - Otherwise (the substitution indicator is “no substitution”), this action is ignored. + - ii) If the specified generic list element ID does not exist in the target and it is possible to extend generic list element ID as specified, the generic list of the target is extended in order to store the specified generic value.

The rt-object creation process is outside the scope of this Recommendation and is provided by the MHEG engine. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Set of Rt-Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the period R1. + +##### 42.3.1.1 New action effect + +The MHEG effect is processed immediately. There is no associated user effect. The MHEG effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) Construct the targeted rt-object. +It is for the MHEG engine to decide if data copying of the model object is required. +- 2) Assign the rt-object identifier. This is the target of the New action. +- 3) Perform specific effects of the New action on the following objects: + - a) Rt-script: + - i) Passing parameter behaviour is initialised. + - ii) Rt-script termination behaviour is set to “not terminated”. + - b) Rt-Component: + - i) Presentation behaviours are initialised. + - ii) Interaction behaviour is initialised. + +- c) Rt-Composite: + - i) Construct each component within the rt-composite. +Each composite object represents one generation. The construction is recursive when a composite object is associated with a composition element. With this facility, the MHEG engine combines all the generations to construct a complete rt-composite. + - ii) Target a Plug action to each socket in the rt-composite – The data to be plugged is the data found in the associated model of the corresponding element. When an empty model is associated, a null rt-object is to be plugged in the corresponding socket. +- 4) NOTE 1 – The Plug action is targeted automatically by the MHEG engine. The author need not specify this action. This is an advantage of the associated model facility in the composite object. +- 5) NOTE 2 – Strictly speaking, a label or a component object cannot be plugged directly into a socket. When a label is associated, the MHEG engine is expected to create a content object with the label as data and then create an rt-content from this content. When a component is associated, the MHEG engine processes an implicit New action to create an rt-component from that component, and then plugs that rt-component into the socket. +- 6) NOTE 3 – The New action is propagated to the next generation in the rt-composite through the effect of the Plug action: + - sockets presentation and structural dynamism behaviour is initialised; + - presentation behaviours are initialised. +- 7) The running behaviour is initialised to “not running”. +- 8) Set the rt-availability status of the targeted rt-object to “available”. The created rt-object enters in period R2. +- 9) Rt-availability start-up link in a composite object is fired. + +When the original model object is in O1, an implicit Prepare action is targeted to the model object, and then the New action is applied as above. + +#### 42.3.1.2 New additional error conditions + +- if in one of the targets, the original object identification addresses an object which is not a model object, this action is ignored for this target; +- if one of the targets does not address an rt-object, this action is ignored for this target; +- if one of the targets is not an rt-object in R1, this action is ignored for that target. + +#### 42.3.2 Delete action + +This action removes rt-objects from the MHEG engine. This may be used to release resources in the MHEG engine. This action does not affect model objects from which rt-objects are created. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Set of Rt-Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +##### 42.3.2.1 Delete action effect + +There is no direct user effect associated; however, there may be an indirect user effect in certain cases. The MHEG effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) Perform specific effects of this action to the following targets: + - a) *Rt-script*: + - i) Passing parameters behaviour is destroyed. + - ii) Termination behaviour is destroyed. + - b) *Rt-Component*: + - i) Presentation behaviours are destroyed. + - ii) Interaction behaviour is destroyed. + +c) *Rt-Composite:* + +- i) Sockets presentation and structural dynamism behaviour is destroyed. +The Plug action defined in this behaviour is no longer applied to sockets. This behaviour is no longer possible. +- ii) Presentation behaviour is destroyed. +- iii) Propagates the Delete action to each rt-component plugged in each socket of this rt-composite. It destroys the complete rt-composite when the propagation is completed. +- iv) If a label is plugged in a socket, destroys the dynamically created content object used for the Plug action process. + +2) Destroys running behaviour. + +3) Destroys the targeted rt-object. + +4) Set the rt-availability status of the targeted rt-object to “not available”.

When an rt-component is running, it may be presented to the user. When an rt-script is running, the script itself is under processing. + +The running of each rt-object for the MHEG engine may be evaluated. + +Initially, the running status of each rt-object is evaluated to “not running” and the rt-object is in period R2. The running status of each rt-object is evaluated to “running” if the rt-object is running and its presentation or processing is controlled by the MHEG engine. + +### 43.3 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following actions: + +- Run action (see 43.3.1); +- Stop action (see 43.3.2). + +#### 43.3.1 Run action + +This action enables the presentation and processing of the rt-object for the MHEG engine. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Target Param; +- Number of Performances Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R1 and R2. + +##### 43.3.1.1 MHEG effect of Run targeted to a single rt-object + +If the rt-availability status of the target is “not available”, an implicit New action is targeted at this rt-object. If the target is in period R2, the MHEG effect is processed immediately as follows: + +- 1) Place the target under the control of the presentation or processing system. +- 2) Set number of completed performances to 0. +- 3) Perform specific effects as follows: + - Rt-Component: The current temporal position is positioned at the current temporal position of its RPS. +- 4) NOTE 1 – By default, when an rt-component is created, its current temporal position is set to the start point of its OVD, i.e. its initial temporal position. +- 5) NOTE 2 – The Run action starts the presentation of the rt-component at the current temporal position of the target where it has been left by a previous Run action, i.e. the current temporal position is not reset by targeting the Run action. +- 6) Set the running status to “running”. The rt-object enters in period R3. +- 7) If the current temporal position reaches the terminal temporal position, the number of completed performances is increased by 1. +- 8) If the specified number of performances is not equal to the number of completed performances, the current temporal position is set to the initial temporal position and presentation continues from the beginning of the OVD. +- 9) The temporal termination of the target affects if the specified number of performances is equal to the number of completed performances. + +#### 43.3.1.2 User effect of Run targeted to a single rt-object + +The user effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) Rt-script: The user effect is described within the script data. At the end of the process of an rt-script, an implicit stop action is targeted at the rt-script by the MHEG engine. + +NOTE 1 – In that case, the termination status is set to “terminated”. The process of the rt-script has been completed until the end of the script. +- 2) Rt-Component: + - a) The current temporal position of the target progresses within the OVD of the target taking into account the current GTF value. All presentation behaviour attributes may affect the user effect (e.g. position, size, audible volume). + - b) When the terminal temporal position (i.e. the end of OVD) of the target is crossed after the specified number of performances, the following applies: + - If the temporal termination of the target is equal to “freeze”, the current GTF value is memorised and the GTF value is temporarily set to 0 by the MHEG engine. The GTF of the target becomes 0. The current temporal position remains constant at the terminal temporal position value. The rt-component is still “running”. +- 3) NOTE 1 – If the information presented is a video, the last frame may be displayed. If it is an audio, no sound may be perceived. If it is a still picture, it may remain presented. +- 4) NOTE 2 – If the current temporal position is changed to another position, the memorised GTF values is resumed. + - Otherwise (the temporal termination of the target is equal to “stop”), an implicit Stop action is targeted to the rt-component. +- 5) NOTE 3 – By default, the terminal temporal position is set to the rt-component original duration. If this duration is infinite, an explicit Stop action should be targeted to that rt-component to stop the user effect of the Run action. +- 6) NOTE 4 – If a timestone is positioned on the terminal temporal position, it is crossed as many times as the specified number of performance just when the current temporal position of rt-component crosses it. If an rt-component is set to “freeze” and there is such a timestone, the timestone is crossed just at the time the current temporal position arrives on the terminal temporal position every time. +- 7) Rt-Composite: + - a) All the user effects for rt-component applies. + - b) Each time the current temporal position of an rt-composite crosses a temporal position where a child socket is attached, an implicit Run action is to be targeted to that socket. + +A socket may be positioned on a temporal position on its parent T axis (PRPS) using a Set PVD Position action. + - c) If the terminal temporal position of an rt-composite is crossed, a Set CTP action is targeted to each socket that is still running to set it to its terminal temporal position. +- 8) NOTE 5 – The VD of the sockets that are running and not at their terminal temporal position are effectively shortened when the terminal temporal position of the parent is crossed. Whatever their positions, if the parent is terminated, they are terminated too. +- 9) NOTE 6 – They are positioned at their terminal temporal position so that they restart at their initial temporal position when they become running again. + +#### 43.3.1.3 Run additional error conditions + +- If the target is not a socket whose parent is not in period R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target. The parent needs to be running to set the children or descendants running. +- If one of the targets is not an rt-object in R1 or R2, this action is ignored for that target. +- If the number of performance is less than 1, this action is ignored for the whole target set. + +### 43.3.2 Stop action + +This action sets the running status to “not running” and stops possible user effects. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Set of Rt-Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 43.3.2.1 Stop targeted to a single rt-object + +The action effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) Perform specific effects to following objects: + - a) Rt-Component: The progression of the current temporal position is stopped and it remains at its current value. + - b) Rt-Composite: The Stop action is propagated to all child sockets, i.e. to all descendant sockets recursively. +- 2) NOTE 1 – A socket cannot be running if its parent is not running. +- 3) NOTE 2 – All sockets, that are assigned to this composition space and that are directly assigned to a channel, are stopped. +- 4) Stop possible user effects of the target. +- 5) Set the running status to “not running”. The rt-object enters in period R2, and all the user effects are stopped. + +#### 43.3.2.2 Stop additional error conditions + +- If one of the targets is not an rt-object in R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target. +- If the target is not a socket whose parent is not in period R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target.

The Stop action is useless in this case. + +### 43.4 Actions to retrieve the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to get this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Get Running Status action (see 43.4.1). + +#### 43.4.1 Get Running Status action + +This action gets the running status of each rt-object. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Rt-Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +##### 43.4.1.1 MHEG effect + +This action evaluates the running status as follows: + +- 1) if the target is in period R3 or R3.TD, the running status is evaluated “running”; +- 2) otherwise, it is “not running”. + +##### 43.4.1.2 Get Running Status additional error conditions + +- the target addresses multiple entities, e.g. use of an alias which addresses a list of targets, or use of the “\*” wildcard instead of a given rt-component number, or use of children or descendants tails, the action is ignored for that target; +- if one of the targets is not an rt-object in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target; +- if the target is not accessible, e.g. the reference cannot be solved, the action is ignored for that target; +- if in one of the targets, the original object identification addresses a model object which is not in period O2, this action is ignored for that target because the model object is not yet available. + +## 44 Rt-Script Passing Parameters Behaviour + +This behaviour is used to pass parameters to rt-script. + +### 44.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +None. + +### 44.2 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Set Parameters action (see 44.2.1). + +#### 44.2.1 Set Parameters action + +This action enables to pass parameters to rt-scripts and to return information back from the rt-script processing. Any number of rt-script parameters may be defined for a given rt-script. + +Each rt-script parameter is specified as a generic value or a content object. Since a generic value is a result of a Get action or a constant, using a generic value is similar to “call by value” However, using a content object is similar to “call by reference” since a content object may contain or refer to a generic value, image, video and so on. This action may be targeted at any time during the life of an rt-script even when an rt-script is under processing of a script engine, and may also be targeted several times during the life of the rt-script. + +The semantics, the parameter order, the type (input, output or input/output) and any usage of each parameter shall be defined by the object designer and shall be supported by a using application and a script engine. + +No passing parameter may be specified. It may be used to signal or to notify the script engine or the MHEG engine. The semantics of this usage depends on the using application. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Script Target Param; +- Set of Passing Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 44.2.1.1 Set Parameter action effect + +There is no direct user effect associated with this action. However, there may be an indirect user effect in certain cases. + +The MHEG effect of this action is to pass the specified passing parameters to the target. + +Content objects in passing parameters may be used to return information from a script engine to the MHEG engine. Therefore, if a content object is used as a parameter from which rt-contents are created and running, there may be indirect user effects by an rt-script due to the data modification within the content object. The presentation of such rt-content may be modified. + +Suppose an rt-script is in charge of the access to a database to retrieve information and the results are set into a content object. The result may be used to complete a form filling, for example, as follows: + +- An rt-script RS1 is created from a model script object MS1: New (RS1). +- A content object CO1 and two generic values of integers are passed to RS1 as parameters: Set Parameters (RS1, CO1, 13, 15). +- RS1 is executed: Run (RS1). +- The execution of RS1 uses the parameters set by the Set Parameters action during the process. After finishing the script, the execution result is stored in CO1. +- The value in CO1 may be retrieved by using a link condition for further processing in the MHEG engine: “When the running status of RS1 becomes “not running””, Get Data (CO1). + +#### 44.2.1.2 Set Parameters additional error conditions + +- if one of the targets is not an rt-script in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target; +- if the reference to content object used to pass parameters is not accessible or does not address a content object, this parameter is replaced by the value “undefined”. + +## 45 Rt-Scripts Termination Behaviour + +This behaviour evaluates the complete termination of an rt-script process inside a script engine for the MHEG engine. + +### 45.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +This behaviour is expressed using the following attribute or status: + +- Termination Status (see 45.2). + +### 45.2 Termination Status + +This attribute specifies the execution status of an rt-script. It is either “terminated” or “not terminated”. If the execution of an rt-script is completed, the termination status is evaluated to “terminated”. Otherwise, it is evaluated to “not terminated”. + +After the creation of an rt-script, the termination status is initialised “not terminated”. After receiving a Run action, the rt-script is executed by a script engine. When it is terminated (i.e. its termination status is changed from “not terminated” to “terminated”), an implicit Stop action is targeted to the rt-script. If a Stop action is targeted during the execution of the rt-script, it becomes “not running” and “not terminated”. Only the rt-objects that are “not terminated” may be rerun. If the same script is to be executed, two different rt-scripts should be made and run. There is no direct relationship between the running status and the termination status. + +### 45.3 Actions to retrieve the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to get this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Get Termination Status action (see 45.3.1). + +#### 45.3.1 Get Termination Status action + +This action retrieves the termination status of the target. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Rt-Script Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 45.3.1.1 Get Termination Status action effect + +The effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) If the process of the target rt-script is not terminated, the Termination Status should be evaluated to “not terminated”; +- 2) Otherwise, it should be evaluated to “terminated”. + +#### 45.3.1.2 Get Termination Status additional error conditions + +- the target addresses multiple entities, e.g. use of an alias which addresses a list of targets, or use of the “\*” wildcard instead of a given rt-component number, or use of children or descendants tails, the action is ignored for that target; +- if one of the targets is not an rt-script in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target; +- if the target is not accessible, e.g. the reference cannot be solved, the action is ignored for that target. + +## 46 Sockets Presentation and Structural Dynamism Behaviour + +This behaviour attaches or detaches an rt-component to a socket. This may be done at any time during the life of the rt-composite once the rt-composite is created. + +This behaviour has the following particularities: + +- 1) Attachment of an rt-content to a socket. This socket becomes an rt-content socket, and the rt-content is perceived through the socket. +- 2) Attachment of an rt-composite to a socket. This socket becomes an rt-composite socket. A new set of generations is attached to the socket. If each generation contains a set of rt-content sockets, a new depth of presentation may be perceived. +- 3) Replacement of an rt-content in an rt-content socket. A new rt-content may be perceived. +- 4) Replacement of an rt-composite in an rt-composite socket. A generation and all its descendants are replaced by a new set of generations. A new generation may be perceived. +- 5) Detachment of an rt-component from a socket. The socket becomes an empty socket. No presentation is perceived. + +Initially, each socket has an rt-component plugged into it. This is a null rt-object or an rt-component created from the associated model information exchanged within the composite. + +### 46.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +None. + +### 46.2 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Plug action (see 46.2.1). + +#### 46.2.1 Plug action + +This action enables dynamic presentation and structuring of the sockets. It specifies the information to be plugged into a socket. This is used to obtain a different presentation or structure from the same composite object model. + +The parent of the target should be in R2, R3 or R3.TD + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Socket Target Param; +- Plug In Param. + +This action may be targeted during any period. + +#### 46.2.1.1 Plug action effect + +The MHEG effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) If the specified socket exists, the following applies: + - a) If a null rt-object is to be plugged in: + - i) An implicit Delete action is targeted to the rt-component currently plugged into the targeted socket. + - ii) A null rt-object is attached to the targeted socket. The socket becomes an empty socket. + - iii) If the running status of a previous plugged-in socket was “running”, an implicit Run action is targeted to the socket. + - iv) Any previous user effects may cease. + - b) If an rt-component is to be plugged in: + - i) A copy of the specified rt-component to be plugged in is made. This new rt-component has no explicit identification and is referenced only via the socket addressing in which it is to be plugged. + +- 2) NOTE 1 – It is for the MHEG engine to assign this identification and ensure that it is unique. It should not be possible for an author to use the same value. +- 3) NOTE 2 – For an rt-content, a New action may be performed on the model object and then a transfer of behaviour may be performed from the targeted rt-content to this newly created rt-content. +- 4) NOTE 3 – For an rt-composite, it is not possible to perform a New action on the model composite object in order to make a copy. The created one is not always the same as the targeted rt-composite due to the structural and presentation dynamism behaviour of sockets that may be applied to the rt-composite. + - ii) If the running status of the new made rt-component is “running”, it is set to “not running”. + - iii) An implicit Delete action is targeted to the rt-component currently plugged into the targeted socket. + - iv) The created new rt-content is attached to the targeted socket with its currently associated behaviours. + - v) If the running status of previous plugged in socket was “running”, an implicit Run action is targeted to the socket. + - vi) Any previous user effects may be modified as a result of the Plug action. +- c) If a component object is to be plugged in: + - i) An rt-component is created from this model component object. This rt-component has no explicit identification and is referenced only via the socket addressing in which it is to be plugged. + - ii) This new made rt-component is attached to the targeted socket with its currently associated behaviours. + - iii) If the running status of previous plugged in socket was “running”, an implicit Run action is targeted to the socket. + - iv) Any previous user effects may be modified as a result of the Plug action. +- d) If a label is to be plugged in: + - i) A content object is dynamically created. This content object has no explicit identification and is referenced only via the socket in which an rt-content created from this content object is to be plugged. + - ii) Apply all steps in the case as a component object is to be plugged in. +- 5) Otherwise (the specified socket does not exist), the specified socket is to be created, and the following applies: + - a) If the first index of the socket address does not exist, the children sockets are completed with empty sockets until this socket index. For example, if the number of sockets is $n$ and the first index of the targeted socket address is $m$ ( $n < m$ ), new sockets should be indexed from $n + 1$ to $m$ . + - b) If the second index of the socket address is provided: + - i) If the first index indicates an rt-composite and the second index does not exist, the children sockets of this second generation are completed with empty sockets as described in the first index case. + - ii) If the first index does not indicate an rt-composite: + - An implicit Delete action is targeted to the rt-content currently plugged-in there. + - A new rt-composite is created with the number of sockets equal to the second index. Each socket within this rt-composite is created as an empty socket. This new rt-composite has no explicit identification and is referenced only via the socket addressing in which it is to be plugged. + - This new rt-composite is plugged into the socket addressed by the first index. + +- c) Above steps are repeated until the last index of the targeted socket address. +- d) Once socket creations are completed, the target addresses an empty socket and the steps for existing socket address described above is applied. + +#### 46.2.1.2 Plug additional error conditions + +- if one of the targets does not address a socket that exists or does not exist, this action is ignored for that target; +- if one of the targets is a socket with its parent in period R1, this action is ignored for that target. + +## 47 Rt-Composite Navigation Behaviour + +This behaviour provides a navigation through the trees formed by the rt-composites. + +### 47.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +This behaviour is expressed using the following attributes or statuses: + +- Rt-composite address (see 47.2); +- Navigation Command (see 47.3); +- Child (see 47.4); +- EmptyChild (see 47.5); +- Sibling (see 47.6); +- Ancestor (see 47.7). + +### 47.2 Rt-Composite Address + +An address referencing an rt-composite. + +### 47.3 Navigation Command + +It gives a navigation path.

The presentation order is determined in one RPS. If this RPS is of an rt-composite, this may have also a presentation priority relative to other rt-components presented in a same RPS. + +A presentation priority is defined by an integer from 0 to 255, where 0 represents the highest priority in the presentation stacking order and 255 represents the lowest priority in it. + +If two rt-components have the same presentation priority values in the same RPS, the stacking order is defined by Run actions targeted to these rt-components. That means that the rt-component to which a Run action is targeted most recently has higher presentation priority. If the Run actions are targeted in parallel for those rt-components, the stacking order depends on implementation. However, there are no affections for their presentation priority values. + +Initially, all rt-components have a presentation priority value 0. + +### 49.4 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following actions: + +- Set Perceptability action (see 49.4.1); +- Set Presentation Priority action (see 49.4.2). + +#### 49.4.1 Set Perceptability action + +This action enables to change the perceptability of an rt-component or a root rt-component. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Component Target Param. +- Perceptability Param: Specifies the perceptability to be assigned to an rt-component. + +- Transition Duration Param: Specifies the perceptability to be assigned to an rt-component. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### **49.4.1.1 Set Perceptability action effect** + +The Set Perceptability action effect is as follows: + +- 1) set the perceptability of the targeted rt-component as specified; +- 2) if the target is running, there may be a user effect associated with this action; +- 3) if the transition duration parameter is specified, the perceptability is changed gradually. + +#### **49.4.1.2 Set Perceptability additional error conditions** + +- if one of the targets is not an rt-component in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target; +- if the presentation priority parameter value is not in interval (0%, 100%), it shall be set to the value 0; +- if the transition duration is negative, it is set to zero. + +#### **49.4.2 Set Presentation Priority action** + +This action enables to change the presentation priority of an rt-component or a root rt-component. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Component Target Param; +- Presentation Priority Param; +- Transition Duration Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### **49.4.2.1 Set Presentation Priority action effect** + +The effect of Set Presentation Priority action is as follows: + +- 1) Set the presentation priority of the targeted rt-component is set as specified. +- 2) If the specified presentation priority is an integer, the presentation priority of the target is set to this value. +- 3) If the specified presentation priority is “up-priority”, the presentation priority of the target is decreased by 1.

Each OD for an rt-component is set only once at the time of creation and shall not be changed. + +## 50.3 POD + +Each OD is projected to its RPS. The projection is POD. The POD of an rt-component is calculated by the GTF assigned to the rt-component as $POD = OD \times GTF$ . + +## 50.4 OVD + +Each rt-component has an OVD which is defined as a subset of the OD. Only the part specified as the OVD is perceived by the user. The portion of the OD that is outside the OVD is clipped. The OVD is specified by the initial temporal position and the terminal temporal position that are positions within the OD. Both points are specified by the OGTU in the OPS. + +By default, the initial temporal position of the OVD is initialised to 0 (i.e. the origin of the OD), and the terminal temporal position of the OVD is initialised to the length of the OD (i.e. the end point of the OD). + +The terminal temporal position may be specified smaller than the initial temporal position (see Figure 56). The length of the OVD is always defined starting from the initial temporal position to the terminal temporal position taking into account the direction of the T axis. + +If the terminal temporal position is smaller than the initial temporal position, the VD length is as follows: + +- [OD end point (OVD initial temporal position) + (OVD terminal temporal position) OD start point (0)] + +Otherwise: + +- OVD terminal temporal position (OVD initial temporal position). + +## 50.5 PVD + +The projection of each OVD in its RPS results in the PVD. The PVD of an rt-component is calculated by the GTF assigned to the rt-component as $PVD = OVD \times GTF$ . + +## 50.6 Temporal Termination + +The temporal termination allows an rt-composite to indicate the choice of the termination process when the presentation of the rt-composite is finished run (see 72.11.1). + +This attribute is either “freeze” or “stop”. Initially, the temporal termination is set to “freeze”. + +## 50.7 PVD Position + +The OVD of an rt-composite is projected to its RPS as PVD. The length of the PVD is controlled by the GTF value of the rt-composite, and the position of the PVD is controlled implicitly or explicitly by an elementary action as follows: + +- 1) The PVD position of a root rt-component is implicitly determined by a Run action targeted to the root rt-component. +- 2) After the Run action, the CTP of the target is positioned to its current RPS (CPS) temporal position in the temporal life of the RPS. The PVD of the target is positioned to the RPS taking into account the CTP. +- 3) The CTP of the target progresses taking into account its GTF value. +- 4) The PVD position of an rt-component is determined as follows: +- 5) Initially, the PVD of an rt-component is not positioned to its RPS-OD. If a Run action is targeted to such an rt-component, the CTP of the target is implicitly positioned to its current RPS temporal position in the temporal life of the RPS. +- 6) Once an rt-component is positioned to its RPS-OD by using a Set PVD Position action, the following applies (see Figure 54): +- 7) The PVD of the rt-component is attached to the RPS-OD tightly. Therefore, the CTP of the rt-component is calculated from the CTP of its RPS automatically and shall not be changed by a Set CTP action. +- 8) If the parent CTP exists outside the child PVD, the CTP of an rt-component is “undefined”. +- 9) If the parent of the rt-composite is running and the parent CTP enters in an rt-component PVD, the running status of the rt-component is set to “running” and presentation begins taking into account the playing direction of the parent (forward or reverse). The CTPs of children progress synchronously with the parent CTP. +- 10) If the parent of the rt-composite is running and the parent CTP gets out of an rt-component PVD, the running status of the rt-component is set to “not running” and its presentation ends. +- 11) If a part of the PVD outbounds the OVD of its RPS, such part is clipped and shall not be assigned to RPS. The presentation of such PVD may begin or end at the middle of the PVD corresponding to the edge of parent OVD. +- 12) The binding of the PVD of the rt-component to its RPS is effective until it is explicitly removed. + +NOTE – PVD positions are used to realise temporal composition. As the position is set to the rt-composite object of the RPS, the rt-component is automatically started each time the rt-composite is made “running”. + +![Diagram illustrating Forward presentation.

Therefore, the OS is measured in the OGSU (see Original presentation space for initialisation of each OS). + +Each OS for an rt-content is set only once and shall not be changed. However, the OS of an rt-composite may be changed resizing strategy (see 51.5). + +### 51.3 POS + +Each OS of an rt-component is projected to its RPS. The projection is called POS. Therefore, the POS is measured in the RGSU. It is calculated as $POS = OS \times GSF$ on each axis. + +### 51.4 Aspect Ratio + +The aspect ratio is the ratio among the width, the height and the depth along the spatial axes. + +The projection of OS is controlled by GSF and the relationship, $POS = OS \times GSF$ , is always respected. However, in order to preserve the aspect ratio of an rt-component, how to fill the POS is specified independently of the GSF. The value of the aspect ratio attribute is either “preserved” or “not-preserved”. This attribute controls the aspect ratio preserving only for one OS-POS mapping. If the rt-component is to be presented in a channel preserving the aspect ratio, every aspect ratio attribute through the OPS-RPS chains from the rt-component to the channel should be set to “preserved”. + +For preserving the aspect ratio, the following applies: + +- “Preserved”: The rt-component is scaled preserving the aspect ratio. This scaling is independent of the assigned GSF, and the rt-component is scaled so that at least one of the width, height or depth becomes to fit to the POS. Then, the POS is filled with this scaled rt-component. The scaled rt-component may not entirely fit the POS, i.e. some portion of the POS may not be filled by the scaled rt-component. If on a given axis, the scaled rt-component is smaller than the size of the POS, the scaled rt-component is centred on the interval of such axis. How the portions of POS that are not covered by the scaled rt-component are filled is either defined by a (registered) presentation style or implementation dependent. +- “Not preserved”: The POS should be filled entirely with the rt-component taking into account the GSF on each axis. + +Initially, the aspect ratio attribute value is set to “preserved”. + +NOTES + +1 – The POS are not affected by the aspect ratio attribute value, i.e. the aspect ratio of the OS and the aspect ratio of the POS may be different on each axis even if the aspect ratio attribute value is “preserved”. + +2 – If an axis has a zero value in the OS, such axis is not taken into account in the scaling of the rt-component. + +## **51.5 Resizing Strategy** + +The OS for each rt-composite may be modified in order to accommodate the modification in size and position of the PVSs of the child rt-components. This is controlled by a resizing strategy attribute. One of the following three attribute values may be set to an rt-composite: + +- “Fixed”: The OS of an rt-composite should remain as the initial size of the OS. The OS cannot be changed until another attribute value is assigned. If this attribute is changed from another value to “fixed” and the previous OS is different from the initial size due to the resizing at that time, the OS should be reset to the initial size. +- “Minimum”: The OS of an rt-composite should have a minimum size that is enough to contain all the PVSs of the child rt-components and greater than or equal to the initial OS of the target on each axis. +- “Grows only”: The OS of an rt-composite should not be reduced. If a part of an rt-component PVS is positioned outside the OS, the OS becomes the minimum size on each axis that is big enough to include every PVS. However, it is never reduced if the OS is bigger than the actual minimum size enough for every PVS. + +The initial value is “fixed”. + +The portions of PVSs that outbound the OS of an rt-composite are clipped. However, the values of such PVSs does not change. This situation happens only if the value is “fixed”. + +If some portions of a PVS outbound the OS of an rt-composite and its resizing strategy is “minimum” or “grows only”, the PAP position of the PVS may be changed due to the resizing. The MHEG engine should take into account this change. + +NOTES + +1 – The values of such PVSs remain the same because these rt-components may be assigned later to another RPS or may become completely perceivable due to the change of the parent OS. + +2 – The size considerations described above should be done independently on each axis. For example, in the case of “minimum”, if the initial value of the rt-composite OS is $x = 10$ and $y = 10$ , and the rt-composite has one rt-component whose PVS is $x = 5$ and $y = 20$ , the OS of the rt-composite becomes $x = 10$ and $y = 20$ . + +If the aspect ratio attribute is set to “preserved” for an rt-composite, the size of the data information may be a subset of the OS in order to preserve the aspect ratio. + +## 51.6 OVS + +The OVS is a subset of the OS for an rt-component, and is positioned relatively to the OS. The portion of the OS that fits within the OVS is to be presented to the user. The portion of the OS that is outside of the OVS is clipped. If the OVS exceeds the limits of the OS, the exceeding portion of the OVS is filled with a background which depends on the implementation or is specified by an extensibility facility. + +The OVS may be specified by one of the following methods (see also OVS Proj Strategy): + +- 1) Directly defined in the OPS: The OVS is defined within the OPS by a Set OVS action with OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “calculated”. In this case, a change of the rt-component GSF affects the PVS because the OVS looks like a constant [ $PVS = OVS (\text{constant}) \times GSF$ ]. However, this change does not affect the PAP and the PVS position. +- 2) Indirectly defined in the RPS: The PVS is defined within the RPS, rather than the OVS, by a Set OVS action with OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “fixed”. The OVS is automatically calculated by $OVS = PVS / GSF$ on each axis. In this case, the OVS may change dynamically depending on the GSF value. And a change of the rt-component GTF does not affect the PVS because the PVS looks like a constant [ $PVS (\text{constant}) = OVS \times GSF$ ]. This GTF change does not affect the OAP (see 51.7) and the OVS position (see 51.8) to the OVS, but the OVS. + +NOTE 1 – However, it affects some part of the OS becoming visible. + +The OVS is initialised to the size of the corresponding OS in the OPS using OGSU. + +NOTE 2 – Typically, the OVS directly defined in the OPS is used to perform real scaling of an rt-component. Therefore, the PVS and the POS are varied depending on the GTF of the rt-component. + +NOTE 3 – Typically, the OVS indirectly defined in the RPS is used to scale only the OS of an rt-component that is projected and perceived through the constant PVS. + +## 51.7 OAP + +An OAP defines an attachment position within the OVS. This attachment position with the OVS position is used to position the OVS within its OS. Initially, the OAP is set to the origin of the OVS, i.e. (0, 0, 0). + +The OAP may be specified by an absolute position within the OVS, or a relative position relatively to the OVS origin expressed by a generic ratio. + +If an OVS is specified indirectly by a Set OVS action with OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “fixed”, the OVS may be dynamically changed depending on the corresponding GSF value. In this case, the OAP shall not be affected by the changing OVS. It should keep the current value. If the value is specified by an absolute one, it should be kept. If the value is specified by a relative one, the relative value should be kept. + +## 51.8 OVS Position + +An OVS position defines a position relatively to the origin of the OS where the corresponding OAP should be positioned. The OVS position with the OAP is used to position the OVS within its OS. Initially, the OVS position is set to the origin of the OS, i.e. (0, 0, 0). + +The OVS may be specified by an absolute position within the OS, or a relative position relatively to the OS expressed by a generic ratio. + +If an OVS is specified indirectly by a Set OVS action with OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “fixed”, the OVS may be dynamically changed depending on the corresponding GSF value.

If the value is specified by a relative one, it should be kept. + +## 51.9 PVS + +The PVS is a projection of the OVS of an rt-component to its RPS, and is positioned relatively to the OS of the PRS. + +The PVS may be specified by one of the following methods: + +- Directly defined in the RPS: The PVS is defined within the RPS by a Set OVS action with OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “fixed”. In this case, the PVS is constant and the corresponding OVS is automatically calculated. +- Indirectly defined in the OPS: The OVS is defined within the OPS by a Set OVS action with OVS Proj Strategy attribute as “calculated”, a Set OAP action and a Set OVS Position action. In this case, the PVS is calculated according to the GSF value and the corresponding OVS is constant. + +The PVS is initialised by the OVS initial value and the GSF initial value. + +## 51.10 OVS Proj Strategy + +Each rt-component has an OVS Proj Strategy attribute. This attribute defines how to project an OVS to the corresponding PVS. The relationship of the OVS and the PVS, $PVS = OVS \times GSF$ on each axis, is always respected. + +This attribute has either “fixed” or “calculated”. The following applies: + +- if the OVS Proj Strategy is equal to “fixed”, the PVS is always fixed; +- if the OVS changes, the GSF is recalculated; +- if the GSF changes, the OVS is recalculated; +- otherwise (“calculated”), the PVS is always calculated; +- if the OVS changes, the PVS is recalculated; +- if the GSF changes, the PVS is recalculated. + +## 51.11 PAP + +A PAP defines an attachment position within the PVS. This attachment position with the PVS position is used to position the PVS within the OS of the RPS. Initially, the PAP is set to the origin of the PVS, i.e. (0, 0, 0). + +The PAP may be specified as an absolute position within the PVS, or a relative position relatively to the PVS origin expressed by a generic ratio. + +## 51.12 PVS Position + +A PVS position defines a position relatively to the origin of the OS of the RPS or to another PVS within the same RPS, where the corresponding PAP should be positioned. The PVS position with the PAP is used to position the PVS within the OS of the RPS. Initially, the PVS position is set to the origin of the OS of RPS, i.e. (0, 0, 0). + +The PVS position may be specified by an absolute position within the OS, or a relative position relatively to the OS expressed by a generic ratio. + +## 51.13 GSF + +The projection of the OPS to RPS is controlled by its GSF value. The GSF defines the number of RGSU corresponding to one OGSU for each axis. + +## 51.14 Spatial Control + +Moving, resizing, scaling and scrolling an rt-component may be allowed or not to a user independently of the elementary action controls. This attribute indicates that those functions are allowed or not with the combination of the user spatial control attribute value. The spatial control attribute has one of the following values: + +- “moving”: indicating the move of the PVS. +- “resizing”: indicating the resize of the PVS. +- “scaling”: indicating the scale of the OS. +- “scrolling”: indicating the scroll of the OS. + +NOTE 1 – Scrolling may be allowed for each rt-component and for the parent of the rt-components independently. The scrolling always refers to the PS of the rt-component. + +Initially, those user controls are “not allowed”. + +It is the responsibility of the MHEG engine with the user interface to make the user knowledgeable of being allowed to perform a given control and to provide the necessary supports (e.g. scroll bars, resizing handles). + +For example, if the scrolling is allowed to the rt-component, a mechanism is to be offered by the MHEG engine to operate a scrolling of the OS as perceived through the PVS. It is the responsibility of the MHEG engine to decide which look-and-feel has to be adopted for the scroll mechanism and to decide whether such a mechanism has to be attached to the rt-component. + +If the user control is not allowed, it is the responsibility of the MHEG engine to make the user knowledgeable about that (e.g. scroll bars are not displayed, or pressing scroll keys produce a beep). + +NOTE 2 – Typically, a scroll mechanism attached to an rt-component may be implemented through a couple of scroll bars. + +NOTE 3 – Typically, a scroll mechanism not attached to an rt-component may be implemented with keys or arrows. + +## 51.15 User Spatial Control + +This attribute is used with the spatial control attributes to indicate whether a certain user spatial control is allowed or not. + +## 51.16 Expected Axis Result Param + +Choice among “x”, “y”, “z” or “xyz”. + +## 51.17 Point Type Param + +Choice between “absolute” and “relative”. + +## 51.18 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following actions: + +- Set Aspect Ratio action (see 51.18.1); +- Set Resizing Strategy action (see 51.18.2); +- Set OVS Proj Strategy action (see 51.18.3); +- Set OVS action (see 51.18.4); +- Set OAP action (see 51.18.5); +- Set OVS Position action (see 51.18.6); +- Set PAP action (see 51.18.7); +- Set PVS Position action (see 51.18.8); +- Set GSF action (see 51.18.9); +- Set User Spatial Control action (see 51.18.10). + +### **51.18.1 Set Aspect Ratio action** + +This action specifies whether the ratio between the OS in the OGSU and the scaled rt-component in the POS of the RGSU is to be preserved for each axis in performing projection of an rt-component OS to the POS. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Component Target Param; +- Aspect Ratio Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### **51.18.1.1 Set Aspect Ratio action effect** + +The action effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) if the aspect ratio parameter is “preserved”, the aspect ratio of the scaled rt-component should be preserved; +- 2) otherwise, the rt-component should fit the POS entirely. + +This effect continues until the target is destroyed or this action is targeted again with a different value.

This Recommendation defines an initial value of this behaviour and means to modify it and to retrieve its value by using actions. + +### **52.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses** + +This behaviour is expressed using the following attributes or statuses: + +- OV (see 52.2); +- CV (see 52.3); +- PCV (see 52.4); +- GVF (see 52.5). + +### **52.2 OV** + +Each rt-content has an OV that is defined within the AVR. However, there is no OV for an rt-composite. The OV is always measured in the GVU, and shall be in this range (see “Original Presentation Space” for initialisation of each OV). + +Each OV for an rt-content is set only once and shall not be changed. + +### **52.3 CV** + +Each rt-content has a CV that is initialised as the OV. The CV may be changed by using the Set CV action; however, the CV shall be within the AVR. + +### **52.4 PCV** + +The CV is projected to its RPS. That is called the PCV. The PCV is calculated by the GVF belonging to its RPS (PRPS or CPS) as $CV \times GVF$ . + +NOTE – Each rt-component (rt-content and rt-composite) has a GTF and a GSF. However, rt-contents do not have GVF. Rt-Composites and channels have GVF. Instead of having a GVF, an rt-content has a CV that may be changed. + +## 52.5 GVF + +The projection of the CV in the OPS to the PCV in the RPS is controlled by the GVF belonging to the RPS. The GVF defines the number of RGVU corresponding to one OGVU Original presentation space. + +## 52.6 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following actions: + +- Set CV action (see 52.6.1), +- Set GVF action (see 52.6.2). + +### 52.6.1 Set CV action + +This action sets the CV of the target as specified value. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Content Target Param. +- CV Param: Specified as an absolute value, a relative value, an original point factor or a current point factor. +- Transition Duration Param: Specified as an absolute value, a relative value, an original point factor or a current point factor. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 52.6.1.1 Set CV action effect + +This effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) If the CV is specified as an absolute value, this value is set to the CV of the target. +- 2) If the CV is specified as a relative value, this value is interpreted as a relative value to the AVR (0, 255) and the audible volume is calculated by $255 \times (\text{specified value})$ .

Once streams are chosen, the rt-mux is responsible for these chosen streams and ensure their presentation. + +#### 53.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +This behaviour is expressed using the following attributes or statuses: + +- Stream Choice (see 53.2), +- Stream Chosen State (see 53.3). + +## 53.2 Stream Choice + +An rt-mux is responsible for the complete multiplexed data presentation or some specified streams presentation individually chosen within the multiplexed data. + +The stream choice attribute holds the chosen stream IDs as a list. + +Initially, all streams are chosen for an rt-mux, i.e. the rt-mux is responsible for the presentation of the complete multiplexed data. Thus, this attribute holds every stream ID. + +Once several streams are chosen for an rt-mux, it is responsible for the presentation of these chosen streams when it becomes “running”. In this case, typically the demultiplexing process is pipelined with the presentation of them, and therefore no new data is generated from the demultiplexing. + +## 53.3 Stream Chosen State + +Each stream in an rt-mux has a stream chosen state. If it is chosen, the state is “chosen”. Otherwise, the state is “not chosen”. + +Each rt-mux also has a stream chosen state. If all the streams of it are chosen, the state is “chosen”. If some streams of it are chosen, the state is “partially chosen”. Otherwise (no streams are chosen), the state is “not chosen”. + +## 53.4 Stream Identification + +Choice between a stream identifier or “all streams”. + +## 53.5 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Set Stream Choice action (see 53.5.1). + +### 53.5.1 Set Stream Choice action + +The action chooses the streams that are to be presented within a target rt-mux. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Mux Target Param. +- Set of Stream Spec Param: GVF value to be assigned. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 53.5.1.1 Set Stream Choice action effect + +The effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) according to the specified update command, streams are added, removed or replaced with a new set; +- 2) if a “remove” command is used and no streams are specified, all streams currently chosen are changed to “not chosen”. + +The result of this action is to change stream chosen states of some streams and the rt-mux. There may be a user effect if the target is running. + +#### 53.5.1.2 Set Stream Choice additional error conditions + +- If one of the targets is not an rt-mux in , this action is ignored for that target. + +## 53.6 Actions to retrieve the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to get this behaviour by the use of the following actions: + +- Get Stream Choice action (see 53.6.1), +- Get Stream Chosen State action (see 53.6.2). + +### 53.6.1 Get Stream Choice action + +This action retrieves a list of chosen stream IDs of the target. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Rt-Mux Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 53.6.1.1 Get Stream Choice action effect + +The effect of this action is as follows: + +- A list of chosen stream IDs are retrieved as a generic list. + +#### 53.6.1.2 Get Stream Choice additional error conditions + +- the target addresses multiple entities, e.g. use of an alias which addresses a list of targets, or use of the “\*” wildcard instead of a given rt-component number, or use of children or descendants tails, the action is ignored for that target; +- if one of the targets is not an rt-mux in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target; +- if the target is not accessible, e.g. the reference cannot be solved, the action is ignored for that target. + +### 53.6.2 Get Stream Chosen State action + +This action retrieves the stream state of the target. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Rt-Mux Target Param. +- Stream Identification Param: GVF value to be assigned. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### 53.6.2.1 Get Stream Chosen State action effect + +The effect of this action is as follows: + +- 1) if a stream ID is specified as a value of the stream identifier parameter, the stream state of the stream is retrieved; +- 2) otherwise (i.e. “all streams” is specified as a value of the stream identifier parameter), the stream state of the target rt-mux is retrieved. + +#### 53.6.2.2 Get Stream Chosen State additional error conditions + +- the target addresses multiple entities, e.g. use of an alias which addresses a list of targets, or use of the “\*” wildcard instead of a given rt-component number, or use of children or descendants tails, the action is ignored for that target; +- if one of the targets is not an rt-mux in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target; +- if the target is not accessible, e.g. the reference cannot be solved, the action is ignored for that target. + +## 54 Interaction Behaviour + +The behaviour describes the interaction between rt-components and the user. Through this behaviour, the MHEG engine and MHEG entities interactive to the user. All rt-components may be interactive. Initially, each rt-component is not interactive. + +Through the event behaviour, the MHEG engine and the MHEG entities are also interact to the user. However, this interaction behaviour is dedicated especially to user’s selection and modification that are frequently used. + +## 54.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +This behaviour is expressed using the following attributes or statuses: + +- Interaction Type (see 54.2), +- Interaction Status (see 54.3), +- Selection Status (see 54.4), +- Modification Status (see 54.5), +- Interaction Ability (see 54.6), +- Selectability (see 54.7), +- Modifiability (see 54.8), +- Min Interact Required (see 54.9), +- Max Interact Required (see 54.10), +- Number of Interacted Sockets (see 54.11). + +## 54.2 Interaction Type + +There are two interaction types for rt-components. One is “selection” concerning the user selection, and the other one is “modification” concerning the user modification. The two selection types are independent of each other so that one rt-component may have one of the interaction types of both simultaneously. + +The MHEG engine should manage the selection and the modification of rt-components with the help of the user interface. By the value of following interaction attributes, the MHEG engine is able to know the user interactions to rt-components. + +The user may interact to rt-components only if they are running. If an rt-component is not running, the user cannot interact to it and any states concerning the interaction behaviour shall not be changed. + +The two types of interactions are controlled and retrieved by the same set of elementary actions and get actions specifying the interaction type as a parameter. + +## 54.3 Interaction Status + +Each rt-component may have the selection status indicating the user selection on it, and each rt-component may also have the modification status indicating the user modification to it. + +The interaction status of an rt-component is set only if it is “running”. The interaction status is set explicitly by a Set Interaction Status action or implicitly by the user interaction. + +How to interact to rt-components is up to the MHEG engine and the user interface. + +### NOTES + +1 – Rt-contents may be selected by a mouse positioning and click, and may be modified by a mouse positioning and keyboard input. + +2 – Not only the visible rt-contents but also some audible rt-contents and multiplexed contents may be selected or modified. How to do that depends on the MHEG engine implementation and the using application. + +The interaction status may be perceptible (visibly or audibly) to show the current status of an rt-component to the user. However, it is an MHEG engine feature and this Recommendation does not specify any methods for that. + +## 54.4 Selection Status + +The selection status is “selected” or “not selected”. It indicates the results of the user selection. + +Initially, each rt-component is “not selected”. + +## 54.5 Modification Status + +The modification status is “modified”, “not modified” or “modifying”. It indicates the results of the user modification. + +Initially, each rt-component is “not modified”. + +## 54.6 Interaction Ability + +The two interaction types are allowed individually to assign each rt-component. The allowance of the selection is called selectability, and the allowance of the modification is called modifiability. + +The selectability tells the MHEG engine whether this rt-component is an item for selection. And the modifiability tells the MHEG engine whether this rt-component is an item for modification. If an rt-component is allowed for selection and modification, the user may select or modify it. + +The interaction ability may be perceptible (visibly or audibly) to show the interaction possibility of an rt-component to the user. However, it is the MHEG engine feature and this Recommendation does not specify any methods for that. + +## 54.7 Selectability + +Each rt-component has the selectability that is “selectable” or “not selectable”. This attribute is indirectly specified by a value but a value of the maximum interaction required attribute for the selection. + +The selectability attribute is calculated as follows: + +- If the maximum interaction required attribute for the selection is 0, it is “not selectable”. + +Otherwise, it is “selectable”. + +If an rt-component is “selectable”, the user may interact to it and may select it. Otherwise, the user selection is inhibited. + +## 54.8 Modifiability + +Each rt-component has the modifiability that is “modifiable” or “not modifiable”. This attribute is not directly specified by a value but a value of the maximum interaction required attribute value for the modification. + +The modifiability attribute is calculated as follows: + +- If the maximum interaction required attribute for the modification is 0, it is “not modifiable” + +Otherwise, it is “modifiable”. + +If an rt-component is “modifiable”, the user may interact to it and may modify it. Otherwise, the user modification is inhibited. + +## 54.9 Min Interact Required + +The selection and modification status for an rt-content is directly determined by a user interaction because the user can directly select and modify the rt-content. However, the selection and modification status for an rt-composite is not directly determined by a user interaction. The selection and modification status for an rt-composite are dynamically determined as follows: + +- If a Set Interaction Status action is targeted to an rt-composite, the rt-composite is set to the specified status regardless of the min interact required attribute, the max interact required attribute and some possible “modifying” child rt-components. + +NOTE 1 – It is an author’s intention whether to keep consistency among those attribute values if an explicit Set Interaction Status action is used. + +If one of the rt-components in an rt-composite is “modifying”, the rt-composite is determined as “modifying”. + +If a number of selected or modified rt-components in this rt-composite is greater than or equal to the min interact required attribute value, and if it is less than or equal to the max interact required attribute value, and if the user interaction process is done, then the rt-composite is determined as “selected” or “modified”. + +NOTE 2 – The MHEG engine should provide some mechanism that checks the end of user interaction process. It is not an automatic process to determine the interaction status. The user interaction may continue until the number of selected or modified rt-components becomes the value of the max interact required attribute even if the number is greater than the min interact required attribute value. + +Otherwise, the rt-composite is “not selected” or “not modified”. + +Therefore, the min interact required and max interact required attributes are provided for the MHEG engine as a hint to determine the interaction status of rt-composite. + +The number of interacted rt-components in an rt-composite may be changed dynamically due to a Plug action. It is the MHEG engine responsibility to keep the consistency among the children statuses, the parent status, the min interact required and the max interact required attributes for the parent. + +NOTE 3 – For example, if a selected rt-component is plugged into an rt-composite that has the max interact required attribute 5 and the number of selected sockets 6, the MHEG engine starts the user interaction process and asks the user to deselect one among the selected 6 sockets in order to satisfy the max interact required condition. + +NOTE 4 – For example, if the min interact required attribute is 2 and one of the selected sockets is unplugged, the MHEG engine starts the user interaction process and asks the user to select at least one more socket. + +NOTE 5 – For example, if the min interact required attribute is 5 and there are 4 sockets plugged into an rt-composite, the MHEG engine continues the user interaction process until some other rt-components are plugged in and at least 5 sockets are selected. + +NOTE 6 – If an rt-composite is not running, some inconsistency among those attributes may exist. Because the user may interact only if the rt-composite is running, the MHEG engine may ask the user later again to interact for that rt-composite if another Run action is targeted. Suppose that an rt-composite with one minute duration and “stop” for the temporal termination attribute is running and its min interact required is set to 1. In this case, if the user does not interact to the sockets of the rt-composite while it is running, the number of interacted sockets are less than the min interact required. If it is set to “running” again, the user interaction process begins again. This may be considered as a timer mechanism of the user interaction. + +The min interact required attribute is valid only for rt-composites. The value for an rt-content is always ignored and has no meaning. + +If the value of the min interact required attribute of an rt-composite is greater than or equal to 1, it means at least one interacted child is needed to change the interaction status of the parent rt-composite. + +Initially, the attribute is set to 0. + +## **54.10 Max Interact Required** + +The max interact required attribute is used to determine the interaction ability of an rt-component. + +The attribute for an rt-composite also gives a hint to the MHEG engine to control the number of interacted children. If the value of the max interact required attribute is greater than or equal to 1, it means that one interacted child is the maximum number of interacted children allowed for the rt-composite. + +The value of the max interact required shall be greater than or equal to the value of the min interact required for each interaction type. + +The MHEG engine shall prevent the number of interacted rt-components greater than the specified value of the max interact required. + +Initially, the attribute is set to 0. + +## **54.11 Number of Interacted Sockets** + +The number of interacted children may be evaluated.

Each rt-component may have a style. A style may change the user perception of rt-contents. + +A style is a way of presentation, and may be compared to a predefined behaviour or style of presentation. Applying a style to a target avoids the author describing this behaviour or presentation. The MHEG engine uses the information described in the style to directly map a style to a facility provided by the user interface if possible. If the user interface does not provide such a facility, the MHEG engine is able to interpret the style with the description of the predefined behaviour provided for each style. + +The following are some examples of the style behaviour: + +- an rt-non-mux containing a generic integer may be displayed as a graphical slider with the style of “slider”; +- an rt-non-mux containing audio may be listened to through a speaker as audio, or may be displayed as wave in graphical way. + +## **55.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses** + +This behaviour is expressed using the following attribute or status: + +- Style (see 55.2). + +## **55.2 Style** + +A style is a catalogued entry, either registered or proprietary. This attribute gives a logical style to the rt-component. How the style is perceived by the user depends on the MHEG engine and the GUI. + +## **55.3 Actions to change the behaviour** + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Set Style action (see 55.3.1). + +### **55.3.1 Set Style action** + +This action assigns a style to the target. + +This action has the following parameters: + +- Set of Rt-Component Target Param. +- Catalogued Style Param. +- Additional Information Param: It may be used by a specific style to interchange some additional information to be associated with, for example, a value range for a slider style. The number of generic values required and the semantics of those generic values, depend on a style. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +#### **55.3.1.1 Set Style action effect** + +The effect of this action is as follows: + +- Depending on the specified style param and the additional information param, a style is assigned to the target. +- The previous style applied to the target is removed. + +If a Run action is targeted to the target after applying this action, the target is presented with the current specified style. If the target is running at the time of applying this action, there may be a user effect associated with this action. + +NOTE – The MHEG engine may directly map the target on a style facility provided by its user interface. However, certain attributes and statuses may be used in link objects, e.g. the selection status of the target, the position and size of the target. They have to be updated by the MHEG engine according to the style and coherently with the current user interaction. + +#### **55.3.1.2 Set Style additional error conditions** + +- If one of the targets is not an rt-component in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target. + +## **55.4 Actions to change the behaviour** + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following actions: + +- Get Style action (see 55.4.1). + +### **55.4.1 Get Style action** + +This action retrieves the current style associated with the target. + +This action has the following parameter: + +- Rt-Component Target Param. + +This action may be targeted during the periods R2, R3 and R3.TD. + +### 55.4.1.1 Get Style action effect + +The effect of this action is as follows: + +- This action evaluates a list corresponding to the catalogued styles that are applied to the target. + +### 55.4.1.2 Get Style additional error conditions + +- If one of the targets is not an rt-component in R2, R3 or R3.TD, this action is ignored for that target. + +## 56 Rt-Contents Anchor Behaviour + +This behaviour describes the anchor function of an rt-content. An anchor is an rt-content created from a content object, which contains anchor information. + +An anchor is characterised as follows: + +- An anchor is distinguished from a normal rt-content by the optional data classification attribute of the content object. If this classification attribute is “Anchor”, then this content object has anchor information inside, and rt-contents created from this content object may be used as anchors. +- An anchor may be used to create a hotspot on another rt-component. The content data contained in an anchor is used to attach the anchor to another rt-content, e.g. starting point and end point, rectangular area, polygon area. This content data is called anchor information. If an rt-content to which an anchor is attached is modified in its presentation (e.g. resize, move), the anchor should follow its modification and change its position or shape automatically. The semantics of this anchor information is not defined by this Recommendation. It depends on rt-contents to which anchors are attached, the MHEG engine or the application. +- The hook in an anchor is used to indicate the semantics of anchor information. It provides an encoding format which is used to describe the rendering of the anchor, the attachment points in the rt-content which the anchor is attached to, and the semantic of the anchor. Since the encoding format is registered, the use of the hook is the way to have a generic implementation of anchor mechanism. +- The anchor information is used by the GUI or some other system that supports the rendering of rt-contents, and appropriate rendering of an anchor is to be done by it. +- As an anchor is an rt-content, its selection status tells the MHEG engine that the hotspot specified by this anchor is selected by a user action. A Run action or a Stop action may make an anchor active or inactive. A Set Interaction Ability action may also make an anchor active or inactive. +- An anchor has preparation behaviour, rt-availability behaviour, running behaviour, Interaction behaviour and rt-contents anchor behaviour, but no other behaviours. If such behaviours that should not be applied to an anchor are applied, these behaviours are ignored by the anchor. + +Figure 57 shows an example of using anchors. In this figure, three anchors (rt-content 1, rt-content 2, rt-content 3) are attached to the hub document (rt-content A). Depending on the anchor information, each anchor specifies the shape and the position of the hotspot within the hub document. A rendering system displays anchors in an appropriate way. If the user selects one of the anchors, the link objects associated with these anchors are fired and lead the user to another presentation. + +### 56.1 Behaviour attributes and statuses + +None. + +### 56.2 Actions to change the behaviour + +This Recommendation defines means to modify this behaviour by the use of the following action: + +- Attach Anchor action (see 56.2.1). + +![Diagram illustrating anchors and links in a hub document.

It does not mean that equipment required to perform the processing is not operational. + +For example, the channel has not yet been created by the MHEG engine, i.e. a New action has not yet been targeted. + +The channel availability status should be evaluated to “available” if the channel is activated by the MHEG engine, i.e. the channel has been created by the MHEG engine and is in the period C2. + +NOTE 2 – The MHEG engine may offer to the using application a more detailed diagnostic and information message.

engine, nor how it handles the interchanged objects. In this annex, an example of the MHEG engine is shown. + +#### B.1 Example of an MHEG Engine + +Figure B.1 shows an implementation example of the MHEG engine and the relationship between MHEG engine, application, presentation services and access services. The MHEG engine is responsible for all processes within itself and the interworking with other modules. The MHEG engine may use the facilities provided by an operating system and system management services, which are not presented in this figure. + +![Figure B.1/T.171 – Example of MHEG engine architecture diagram.](a0e4d56066bf089079b9b4d24f666b01_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the architecture of an MHEG engine and its interactions with external components. At the top, an 'Application module' box is connected to an 'Application interface' box. Below the interface is the 'MHEG engine' itself, which contains several internal modules: an 'Encoder' and a 'Decoder' at the top, an 'MHEG entities handler' in the center, and an 'Interpreter' at the bottom. Arrows show bidirectional communication between the 'Encoder' and 'Decoder', and between the 'MHEG entities handler' and the 'Interpreter'. The 'MHEG engine' is surrounded by four vertical bars representing interfaces: 'Presentation interface' on the left, 'User interface and presentation services' on the far left, 'Communication interface' on the right, and 'Communication management services' on the far right. Arrows indicate data flow between these interfaces and the internal components of the MHEG engine. The text 'T0826000-96/d056' is located at the bottom right of the diagram. + +Figure B.1/T.171 – Example of MHEG engine architecture diagram. + +Figure B.1/T.171 – Example of MHEG engine + +The MHEG engine may be composed of several modules as shown in Figure B.1. + +##### B.1.1 MHEG decoder + +This module converts MHEG objects encoded in ASN.1 to the internal format of the MHEG engine in order to handle MHEG objects. + +##### B.1.2 MHEG encoder + +This module formats internal MHEG objects into ASN.1 data so that they can be interchanged with another system. It is used when the MHEG engine sends an MHEG object to another system. This module may be optionally required in, for example, an authoring system. + +### B.1.3 MHEG entities handler + +This module handles MHEG objects, rt-objects, channels in their internal formats, allocates entities and controls the memory management. + +#### B.1.3.1 Reference resolution + +The MHEG entities handler may also resolve MHEG entities' references. The process of resolving a reference may be as shown in Figure B.2. This figure shows an example of the decision process to resolve references of MHEG entities. + +![Flowchart for Reference resolution (Figure B.2/T.171).](faa19fa09003307090f38a25ece74252_img.jpg) + +``` +graph TD + Start([A reference to be resolved]) --> D1{Access needed now?} + D1 -- Yes --> D2{Already resolved?} + D1 -- No --> D3{Already resolved?} + D2 -- Yes --> D4{Reference mechanism?} + D2 -- No --> D4 + D3 -- Yes --> OK1[OK] + D3 -- No --> Forward[Forward reference, to be resolved later when needed] + D4 -- External --> AccessNow[Access now] + D4 -- Internal --> D5{Preparation path?} + D5 -- Yes --> AccessNow + D5 -- No --> Error[Error] + AccessNow --> OKError[OK or Error] +``` + +The flowchart illustrates the decision process for resolving a reference. It starts with 'A reference to be resolved'. A decision diamond asks 'Access needed now?'. If 'Yes', it proceeds to 'Already resolved?'. If 'Yes' here, it goes to 'Reference mechanism?'. If 'No', it also goes to 'Reference mechanism?'. If 'Reference mechanism?' is 'External', it goes to 'Access now'. If 'Internal', it goes to 'Preparation path?'. If 'Preparation path?' is 'Yes', it goes to 'Access now'. If 'No', it results in 'Error'. If 'Access needed now?' is 'No', it goes to 'Already resolved?'. If 'Yes' here, it results in 'OK'. If 'No', it results in 'Forward reference, to be resolved later when needed'. The 'Access now' box leads to 'OK or Error'. + +Flowchart for Reference resolution (Figure B.2/T.171). + +T0826010-96/d057 + +**Figure B.2/T.171 – Reference resolution** + +When the MHEG engine needs to resolve a reference, two cases may arise as shown in Figure B.2: + +- 1) The entity does not need to be accessed immediately. For example, if there is an MHEG entity as a target of an action specified in the link effect of a certain link object and a Prepare action is targeted to this link object, it is not required to prepare the MHEG object at this moment. If the entity is not available for the MHEG engine, the reference to this entity may be left for later completion. This is called “forward reference”. If the entity is accessible for the MHEG engine at the time of request, no further processing is needed. +- 2) The entity needs to be accessed immediately. For example, if an action object is referenced in a link object and a Prepare action is targeted to this link object, it is required also to prepare the referenced + +action object. In this case, the access, decoding and preparation of the entity is needed. Two cases apply as follows: + +- 3) If the referenced entity is not resolved yet, the MHEG engine tries to solve the reference. Two cases apply as follows: +- 4) If the entity is referenced using an external identification, it is assumed that the MHEG engine recognises and resolves the external identification. The reference is considered as resolved. +- 5) If the entity is referenced using an internal identification, the MHEG engine tries to resolve the reference. Two cases may apply: +- 6) If a preparation path is available for the MHEG engine, the reference is considered as resolved. The preparation path is not defined by this Recommendation and may be dependent on the using application, the MHEG engine and the site practice. For example, a preparation path may indicate the whereabouts of the container which includes the required objects, or it may be represented in a form of a SQL request, a server address, a file specification, etc. +- 7) If the MHEG engine is not able to resolve the reference, it is an error. +- 8) If the referenced entity is considered as accessible for the MHEG engine, the MHEG engine tries to access the object using the communication services. + +If no entity is addressed while resolving the reference, no information is addressed. + +Depending on the context, this may generate an error condition. For example, if the target of the Prepare action is not accessible, the target remains not available to the MHEG engine. It is the MHEG engine's responsibility to signal this condition to the using application. For example, if a link condition is described on a non-existing MHEG entity, this condition cannot be satisfied now, but it is not an error. This link is not fired at this time; however, it may be fired later. + +#### **B.1.4 MHEG interpreter** + +This module processes MHEG entities according to this Recommendation. The MHEG interpreter may contain various processes, however; the following processes may be identified. + +##### **B.1.4.1 Preparation process** + +This process prepares any MHEG entities before their processing in the MHEG engine. For example, retrieving a content data of an audiovisual sequence from a disk may require so long time that it may be efficient to start loading it before it is needed. + +The preparation process may interpret the following elementary actions: Prepare action, Destroy action and Get Preparation Status action. + +##### **B.1.4.2 Creation process of rt-objects and channels** + +This process creates any rt-objects and channels. + +The creation process may interpret the following elementary actions: New action, Delete action, Get Rt-Availability Status action, New Channel action, Delete Channel action and Get Channel-Availability Status action. + +##### **B.1.4.3 Activation process** + +This process activates rt-components to be passed to a presentation process and rt-scripts to be passed to a script engine. + +This process may interpret the following elementary actions: Run action, Stop action and Get Running Status. + +##### **B.1.4.4 Script process** + +This process interprets a script data as described in a script object. Parameters may be exchanged in both ways between the MHEG engine and the script process. + +This process may interpret the following elementary action: Set Parameters action. + +#### **B.1.4.5 Presentation process** + +This process handles the presentation of rt-components. This process may interwork with the user interface and presentation services. + +This process may interpret all the elementary actions concerning the presentation. These actions may affect dynamically the rendition of rt-components and channel assignment, such as temporal behaviours, spatial behaviours, audible behaviours. And this process may interpret styles as specified by attributes. + +A using application may extend the presentation facilities to its specific renditions, e.g. colour, character fonts. This specific rendition may be interchanged within MHEG objects by using extensions and descriptions in descriptor objects. It is for the using application to ensure that the presentation process available for the MHEG engine is able to present MHEG objects with these specific renditions. + +#### **B.1.4.6 Interaction process** + +This process interacts with the user, and interworks with the GUI tools existing on the system. This process may handle the interaction behaviour, e.g. selection and modification. + +#### **B.1.4.7 Link process** + +This process evaluates in parallel all the conditions on MHEG entities described in the link conditions of the activated link objects, and processes the actions described in a link effect if the corresponding link condition is satisfied. + +#### **B.1.5 User interface and presentation services** + +This module is in charge of the multimedia presentation to the user and of the data acquisition from the user. The presentation module may be also used by the application module to present directly using application information. + +#### **B.1.6 Application module** + +It is the actual using application which handles, exchanges and manages MHEG entities. The using application handles MHEG entities through the interface provided by this Recommendation (by actions applied to each MHEG entity), possibly through the extensions using a proprietary catalogue. The using application may also need to access directly to the user interface. + +The following are possible commands and data facilities for the MHEG engine interface that may be used by the application module. + +- start the MHEG engine; +- stop the MHEG engine; +- supply MHEG entities or references to MHEG entities to the MHEG engine; +- accept MHEG entities or references to MHEG entities from the MHEG engine; +- start the processing of a specified object; +- stop the processing of a specified object; +- facilities equivalent to those provided by elementary actions; +- facilities to access data within the MHEG engine, e.g. attributes, status values, engine statuses; +- facilities to accept data from the MHEG engine, e.g. as the result of a Return action; +- handle system management information indicating the result from the above facilities, i.e. errors. + +#### **B.1.7 Communication management module** + +This module handles the transmission of entities received or/and transmitted, and is in charge of the data access required for the MHEG engine. All data may be stored in local repositories (e.g. CD drive) or in remote repositories (e.g. database accessed through a network). This module is also in charge of the information transmission from the MHEG engine to the using application. + +The protocol to interchange is not defined in this Recommendation. During the interchanging process, some specific identification may be added to MHEG entities. + +The communication module may be also used by the application module to directly access pieces of software, scripts, external data and so on. + +## B.2 Application examples + +In this subclause, various usages and configurations of the multimedia/hypermedia systems, such as training applications, passive/interactive presentation of multimedia information, authoring applications, groupware applications, are shown. + +### B.2.1 Passive presentation system + +Figure B.3 shows a simple multimedia presentation system that is purely passive and only to receive and present MHEG entities.

How to realise them completely depends on a certain implementation. The aim of this annex is to show several possible ways and provide some hints for implementers. + +The essential points to realise hypertext/hypermedia systems is how to provide so-called anchor and traverse mechanism. The anchor is a specific entity which indicates that some other entities are connected to a specific place or area of a certain entity. The place or area which an anchor is associated with is called a hotspot. A hotspot may be rendered in a specific way by a presentation system in order to indicate that an anchor is attached, e.g. words with underline, words with different colour. The traverse mechanism allows you to explore another entity presentation through an anchor which links two entities. + +## **D.2 Mechanism for Hypertext/Hypermedia** + +Hypertext/hypermedia mechanisms provided by this annex are categorised into 3 types by using: + +- transparent object; +- anchor attached to an entity; +- event handling. + +### **D.2.1 Transparent Object** + +Using a content object, a transparent object can be created and it can be used as an anchor. The typical method may be as follows: + +- 1) create a content object with some data, e.g. bitmap; +- 2) create an rt-content from this model; +- 3) set its perceptability attribute to 0; +- 4) set its selectability as selectable; +- 5) attach this rt-content to an MHEG object with certain positioning corresponding to the place where an anchor should be placed; +- 6) create a link with the condition 'if this rt-content is selected' run other MHEG object, e.g. display another text. + +The transparent object can be considered as an anchor. Its hotspot can be set by some positioning elementary actions. And the traverse is specified by the associated link to the transparent rt-content object. + +The content data for this transparent object can be anything as far as the hook indicates what is inside. At least, the content should contain something which indicates the size of this object because this size is used as a size of the hotspot. If the perceptability is set to 0, the appearance of this object completely depends on the GUI, i.e. how to display a selectable object to a screen. It might be possible to set the perceptability not to 0 but around 0. In this case, the object can be perceived as semi-transparent so that a user can distinguish the hotspot. Positioning this rt-content to a certain MHEG object is something considerable. If the MHEG object changes its presentation, e.g. moving, resizing, change font, the attached rt-content should follow its change. As this annex defines the final form presentation, this might not be so big a problem in certain cases. + +### **D.2.2 Anchor attached to an Entity** + +Using the anchor defined by this Recommendation, an anchor mechanism can be achieved in a straightforward way. The typical way may be as follows: + +- 1) create an anchor; +- 2) create an rt-object from this anchor; +- 3) set its selectability as selectable; +- 4) attach this rt-object (rt-anchor) to an MHEG object with the elementary action "attach anchor"; +- 5) create a link with the condition 'if this rt-content is selected' run other MHEG object, e.g. display another text. + +The anchor object contains anchor information depending on the content which the anchor is attached to. It is a kind of addressing scheme and tells where the hotspot for this anchor is. The hook can be used to indicate which addressing scheme is used in this anchor. Its hotspot is to be set by using a GUI interpreting this anchor information. Its presentation relies on the GUI, too. + +As there is no difference between an anchor and a content object but its presentation, any attributes for a content object can be used that may control some behaviours of an anchor. + +If an MHEG object to which the anchor is attached, changes its presentation, the anchor follows the position specified by the address information, because the GUI knows the changing of the presentation and can change the anchor position appropriately. + +### D.2.3 Event Handling + +An MHEG engine can receive some events from the system outside the engine. This event handling mechanism can be also used for realisation of hypermedia and hypertext. The typical way may be as follows: + +- 1) declare necessary events within a descriptor; +- 2) create a content object corresponding to the descriptor; +- 3) create an rt-content from this model; +- 4) create a link with the condition, if some event happens, run other MHEG object, e.g. display another text. + +The event attribute and associated event data attribute can control the hyperlink mechanism. + +For example, in order to realise a bitmap depending on the position on which the user pointing device, e.g. a mouse, is clicked, the following is an example: + +- 1) declare “mouse click” event within a descriptor; +- 2) create a content object containing a bitmap; +- 3) create an rt-content from it; +- 4) create a link which condition is “if the mouse click event happens on this rt-object, run a certain MHEG object depending on the position information stored in the event data attribute”. + +This is just an example. Since the event mechanism gives a general purpose method to synchronise and interact both between the MHEG engine and outer systems and between MHEG objects, beside them, many other possible ways can be realised. + +### D.2.4 Other Possibility + +A composite object can be made with a number of content objects. Each content object holds a piece of information or a unit of information which makes complete information together as aggregated as a composite. For example, a text object can be made as a composite object with a number of contents which have one word for each. In this case, each content object may be a hotspot if every content object is arranged appropriately and is set as selectable. + +This method might be difficult and complicated for a complex object. + +### D.2.5 Implementation and Cost + +In a real application, not only the above described methods may be useful, but also some combination of them. In addition, this annex provides means for even other realisations of hyperlink functionality. It is recommended to choose an appropriate method depending on the cost of realisation and system requirement. + +## D.3 An example of interrelationships between MHEG and WWW browser + +WWW stands for World Wide Web which is a hypermedia system and currently used widely in the Internet. It uses HyperText Markup Language (HTML), for hypertext markup, and Universal Resource Locator (URL), for identification of WWW objects. A WWW browser which is associated with a presentation system is responsible for handling any anchors that appear in the hypertext written in HTML. + +WWW uses an object identification technique called URL different from that used in this Recommendation which is the public identifier defined by ISO/IEC 9070. Therefore, there are two issues to be considered: + +- anchors in an HTML document which points to MHEG objects; +- anchors in an MHEG object which points to HTML documents. + +In order to harmonise both issues, ISO/IEC 9070, public identifier, may be a solution. + +If public identification is used in this case, it looks like: + +Public ID = +IETF//://xxx.yyy.edu/.../zzz.mhg + +where zzz.mhg, MIME type associated; , e.g. T.176, ftp, http. + +IETF should ask the registration authority of ISO/IEC 9070 for registration of its identifier. And a MIME type for this Recommendation should be registered in IETF. It is an ITU-T responsibility to register T.176 protocol. + +And public identification decoder should be in the system, which is shared by both MHEG engine and WWW browsers. This decoder has the intelligence to resolve the reference. If the reference is a WWW object, then this information is passed to the WWW browser, and if the information is an MHEG object, it is passed to the MHEG engine. On the other hand, if the reference is an MHEG object, then this information is passed to the MHEG engine, and the MHEG engine passes the information for a GUI. + +## Annex E + +### Examples of spatial behaviours + +#### E.1 Example 1 + +This example shows some snapshots of the presentation evolution with an rt-composite composed of two sockets in which two rt-contents are plugged in.

manipulation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects, i.e. the API that shall be provided by MHEG engines for their control by MHEG applications. + +## INTRODUCTION + +This Recommendation specifies the abstract Application Programming Interface (API) for the manipulation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects, i.e. the API that shall be provided by MHEG engines for their control by MHEG applications. + +This Recommendation is part of a broader standardisation framework that specifies the usage of MHEG so that interoperable equipments can be effectively developed to support multimedia information services and applications. This implies: + +- specifying additional constraints to the use of MHEG objects within distributed systems and applications using telecommunication networks; +- defining APIs that building blocks of MHEG-using architectures should provide; +- defining MHEG profiles complementing the MHEG-1 standard by specifying restrictions on the coded representation and specifying the complete required behaviour of an MHEG engine that should be supported for a given category of applications and/or terminal equipments; +- defining an MHEG script interchange representation; +- defining end-to-end protocols for MHEG-using multimedia/hypermedia information services; +- specifying conformance testing procedures for these standards. + +Functional and technical requirements on this Recommendation have been described in ETR 225. + + + +## APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API) FOR MHEG-1 + +(Geneva, 1996) + +### 1 Scope + +MHEG Part 1 (ISO/IEC 13522-1 [1]) is a generic standard, which specifies the coded representation of interchanged multimedia/hypermedia information objects (MHEG objects). These so-called MHEG objects are handled, interpreted and presented by MHEG engines. + +This Recommendation specifies the abstract Application Programming Interface (API) for the manipulation of multimedia and hypermedia information objects, i.e. the API that shall be provided by MHEG engines for their control by MHEG applications. + +This API meets the following requirements: + +- it is independent of the programming language used for the MHEG application; +- it is independent of the underlying operating system; +- it is independent of the mechanism used for interchanging information between the API user (i.e. MHEG application) and the API provider (i.e. MHEG engine), i.e. the messages that are exchanged as the result of triggering API primitives; +- it is independent of the actual encoding of these messages; +- it is generic and meant to cover all application requirements; +- it is conformance testable; +- it aims to be as easy as possible to implement. + +### 2 References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; all users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below.

This leads to words whose meaning vary according to the context, i.e. the expression within which they are used. For this reason, many of these expressions are defined in this subclause. + +Should any ambiguity occur, definitions of the following Standards/Recommendations would apply, in decreasing order: + +- ISO/IEC 13522-1 [1] MHEG; +- any other standard part of ISO/IEC 13522 [1] MHEG; +- CCITT Recommendation I.113 [7], "Vocabulary of terms for broadband aspects"; +- CCITT Recommendation I.112 [8], "Vocabulary of terms for ISDNs"; +- CCITT Recommendation Q.9 [9], "Vocabulary of switching and signalling terms". + +This Recommendation defines the following terms: + +**3.1.1 application programming interface (API):** A boundary across which a software application uses facilities of programming languages to invoke software services.

The end-to-end protocol between an application and a distant MHEG engine is applicable to all terminals. Each terminal application can use the protocol to communicate with each other terminal engine. + +For a "terminal-to-database" or "terminal-to-host and database" structure, the database may mainly consist of an access agent used to locate the referenced objects. + +The **presentation agent** provides a multimedia content presentation service. It manages the presentation of monomedia data, performs data format decoding and manages the user interaction. It also acts as interface to external devices like smart card readers, VCRs, etc. The presentation agent is accessed by its clients (here the MHEG engine) through the "presentation API" which isolates the software on higher level from the specific features of the various hardware sub-platforms. The presentation agent is only present on a terminal. + +The **access agent** provides MHEG object and multimedia content location, access and communication services. It makes the location of the various objects (multimedia contents, MHEG objects, scripts, application specific data) transparent to its clients, i.e. the processes trying to access these objects. When an object is requested, the access agent is able first to locate it (possibly by issuing requests to directory services), then to retrieve it from local or distant storage (possibly by issuing requests to repository services and remote equipments), finally to provide access to it (possibly by using MHEG object and content encoding/decoding services). In the reverse way, the access agent also handles the forwarding of objects to remote equipments, their registration in directories and their storage in repositories. + +The **local application** manages the logic of the application on a given platform. The application itself will often be distributed between several platforms (terminals, hosts). The local application is a client of the access agent via the access API, of the MHEG engine via the MHEG-API and of the presentation agent via the presentation API. The local application may make use of a script execution service provided by a script processor. Scripts are parts of the application which are interchanged during the course of an application. A script processor is a functional unit able to execute scripts, it may be the script itself (if interchanged in executable form), a script language interpreter or an MHEG Script Interchange Representation (SIR) interpreter. + +The **MHEG engine** provides an MHEG interpretation service. It interprets MHEG objects, manages links between them, triggers actions and orders objects presentation and access. It is controlled by the application through the MHEG-API. + +The **local information base** may be used to store objects, contents, scripts, etc. permanently or temporarily on the device. No assumption is made on how those objects are stored and which physical storage device is used. + +The **presentation API** allows the terminal MHEG engine to access the multimedia content presentation service provided by a presentation agent. + +The **MHEG-API** allows MHEG applications to access the MHEG interpretation service provided by an MHEG engine. The MHEG-API client application may be either the local application, or it may run on a remote device. If the application is running on a remote device, it may access the MHEG-API using the end-to-end protocol "application – distant MHEG engine" (9). The MHEG-API is specified in this Recommendation. + +The **access API** allows processes (e.g. local application, script interpreter, MHEG engine, presentation agent) to access the MHEG object and multimedia content location, access and communication services provided by an access agent. + +The **service support unit** is a functional unit that handles service specific control parameters and offers functionality that depends on the particular service. An example for a service support unit is the MCU in the case of Videoconferencing service. The functionality handled by the service support unit is service-specific. + +The **end-to-end protocol "application – distant MHEG engine"** allows an application running on a distant device to communicate with a local MHEG engine. This protocol enables the implementation of terminal-to-host configurations. + +The **end-to-end protocol "application – service support unit"** enables the use of the services provided by the service provider by the terminal application or the user respectively. + +The **end-to-end protocol "access agent – access agent"** enables the handling, maintenance and exchange of objects and data in a distributed environment. + +### 5.1.2 The MHEG-API + +This subclause describes the terminology applicable to the MHEG-API. + +The MHEG-API is the interface through which an MHEG application is allowed to control an MHEG engine. + +![Diagram of the MHEG-API interface showing the flow between an MHEG Application and an MHEG engine.](7d3d5fb5d09c0cd35a9d637be241651e_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the MHEG-API interface. It consists of two main components: the **MHEG Application** at the top and the **MHEG engine** at the bottom. A horizontal line separates them, labeled **MHEG-API** on the right. A vertical line connects the two components. On this vertical line, there are two arrows: one pointing upwards from the MHEG engine to the MHEG Application, labeled **Response Notification**, and one pointing downwards from the MHEG Application to the MHEG engine, labeled **Request**. The identifier **T0825190-95/d04** is located at the bottom right of the diagram. + +Diagram of the MHEG-API interface showing the flow between an MHEG Application and an MHEG engine. + +**Figure 4/T.174 – The MHEG-API** + +An API consists of **primitives**, i.e. basic entry points provided by a **provider** module to any **user** module to enable the user to access **software services** supplied by the provider. These modules are pieces of software, although they can use services provided by computer hardware or other electronic equipment. + +The **MHEG-API** gives access to **MHEG interpretation** and (optionally) **MHEG object access** services. **MHEG engines** are the providers, whereas **MHEG applications** are the users. One MHEG engine may provide its software services to several applications. An MHEG engine can therefore be viewed as a **server**, whereas MHEG applications are the **clients** of the software services. + +An API primitive is used to transfer some information between its user and its provider. This information consists of control and/or data. The information may be forwarded either from a client to its server or from the server to one of its clients. The information may be generated by its sender either on its own initiative or as a reply to a formerly issued primitive. The following terms are used: + +- a **request** is a primitive issued by the client on its own initiative to forward information to the server; +- a **response** is a primitive issued by the server as a reply to a request to forward information to the client; +- a **notification** is a primitive issued by the server on its own initiative to forward information to the server. + +Different kinds of requests may be considered: + +- requests that require no response are called **asynchronous requests**; +- requests that do not require an immediate response are called **deferred synchronous requests**; +- requests that require an immediate response, until which the client process cannot proceed, are called **synchronous requests**. + +Whether synchronous or asynchronous, requests may result in processing that will, in turn, trigger notifications. + +## 5.2 Functional specification of the MHEG-API + +### 5.2.1 MHEG usage specifications + +This subclause introduces MHEG usage rules. They consist of clarifications and interpretations of the MHEG standard regarding the definition of the main entities addressed by the MHEG standard that may be handled in MHEG using applications. + +A clear understanding of the MHEG-related entities implies a formal definition of the identity of the entities that are handled and/or transformed by components of an MHEG using application, as well of how they can be identified or referenced within different components. + +#### 5.2.1.1 Definitions + +These subclauses introduce the concepts of identity, identification and referencing. The following precisions bring additional semantics with regard to the MHEG standard (which makes no clear distinction between reference and identification), and are applicable as definitions throughout this Recommendation. + +The identity of an object is itself. The identity function is defined by $\text{Identity}(A) = A$ . Any object has an identity. Objects A and B have the same identity if, and only if, A and B are the same object. + +The identification of an object is an unambiguous way to determine its identity. If objects A and B have the same identifier, then they have the same identity, i.e. they are the same object. The identifier is often, but not necessarily, contained in the object. Objects may have several identification modes (with different types of identifier), though this is neither a useful nor recommended policy. If an object has no identifier, then it cannot be identified, although it has an identity. + +Referencing an object is a convenient way to associate a name with an object. To determine the object which is referenced, the object reference has to be resolved by some process. One reference may only reference one object at a given time, but one object may be referenced in many ways. Unlike its identifier, references to an object are therefore not guaranteed to be unique. Moreover, it is possible to reference objects which otherwise are not identifiable. + +#### 5.2.1.2 MHEG objects + +According to the MHEG standard, an MHEG object is defined as a coded representation. Therefore, MHEG objects are bitstrings. The identity of an MHEG object is its bitstring. MHEG objects are 'form a' objects as described in the MHEG standard, 6.2.4. MHEG object A and MHEG object B are identical if and only if they **are** the same sequence of bits. + +An MHEG object is not a physical object, but rather an abstraction (a specified sequence of bits) which may have many representations (i.e. different objects) of different types: interchanged MHEG objects, stored MHEG objects, mh-objects, etc. Such representations are handled by different software services. + +An MHEG object may be identified by an MHEG identifier. MHEG identifiers are the **only** way to identify MHEG objects. The structure and coded representation of MHEG identifiers is defined by the MHEG standard. The MHEG identifier of an MHEG object must be encoded inside the MHEG object. Since the attribute is optional, some MHEG objects do not have an MHEG identifier. Such MHEG objects cannot be identified. The MHEG standard imposes a constraint on the design of MHEG-using applications which is that MHEG object A and MHEG object B shall not have the same MHEG identifier unless they are identical. + +The MHEG generic reference describes all possible ways to reference an MHEG object. + +#### 5.2.1.3 Mh-objects + +An mh-object is an internal representation of an MHEG object within a process or system. An mh-object is not an MHEG object. Within an MHEG engine, mh-objects represent 'available' MHEG objects. Mh-objects are 'form b' objects as described in the MHEG standard, 6.2.4. An mh-object represents one MHEG object, i.e. there is always a bitstring that corresponds to an mh-object. An MHEG engine shall not handle more than one mh-object to represent one MHEG object. + +As a consequence, mh-objects handled by MHEG engines may be identified using MHEG identifiers. In addition, other mechanisms for identifying mh-objects (e.g. symbolic identification) may be defined by the application, provided their internal representation allows for it. This is especially useful when some of the MHEG objects represented by an MHEG engine's mh-objects are non-identifiable, i.e. have no MHEG identifier. This allows to guarantee that all mh-objects shall be identifiable. + +Mh-objects are referenced the same way MHEG objects are. References to MHEG objects for which the MHEG engine handles an mh-object will usually be resolved by addressing this mh-object. + +#### 5.2.1.4 Rt-objects + +An rt-object is a run-time 'instance' (or copy) of a 'model' mh-object, which is created and handled by an MHEG engine in the purpose of presentation. An rt-object is not an MHEG object. Within an MHEG engine, rt-objects represent 'rt-available' MHEG objects. Rt-objects are 'form c' objects as described in the MHEG standard, 6.2.4. There may be none or several rt-objects which are 'presentable' copies of one mh-object. An rt-object always has exactly one mh-object as its model. + +Rt-objects may be identified using rt-object identifiers whose 'model object identification' part is an MHEG identifier. The structure and coded representation of rt-object identifiers are defined by the MHEG standard. In addition, other mechanisms for identifying mh-objects (e.g. symbolic identification) may be defined by the application, provided their internal representation allows for it. This is especially useful when some of the MHEG objects represented by an MHEG engine's mh-objects used as models for rt-objects are non-identifiable, i.e. have no MHEG identifier. This allows to guarantee that all rt-objects shall be identifiable. + +Rt-objects may be referenced using MHEG generic references. + +#### 5.2.1.5 Channels + +Channels are objects defined by the MHEG standard and handled by the MHEG engines. They may be identified using channel identifiers. + +#### 5.2.1.6 Interchanged MHEG objects + +Interchanged MHEG objects are representations of MHEG objects which are being communicated at a given point in time using a network or storage medium. One given MHEG object (i.e. bitstring) may be interchanged many times between many places, i.e. represented by many interchanged MHEG objects. An MHEG external identifier may identify an interchanged MHEG object, and therefore reference an MHEG object through its location and time of interchange. However, it should be noted that an MHEG external identifier may not actually identify an MHEG object. + +Stored MHEG objects are representations of MHEG objects which are usually located in files or database records. For instance, one given MHEG object (i.e. bitstring) may be stored in many places, i.e. represented by many stored MHEG objects. Such locations are usually identified using file names or database identifiers. An MHEG external identifier may identify a storage location for an MHEG object, and therefore reference an MHEG object through its storage location. + +### 5.2.2 Description of MHEG-related services + +This subclause introduces the concept of MHEG-related services, i.e. common use software services allowing to handle MHEG-related entities. These services are provided by the building blocks (components) of the MHEG using application architecture upon which the MHEG application is built. Clients and services do not necessarily know each other and may be related through a mediating entity. In this building blocks approach, implementations of the services make use of each other. + +An MHEG application may make use of some or all of these following MHEG-related services: + +- the **MHEG interpretation service** allows to control the behaviour of an MHEG engine, i.e. the interpretation and presentation of MHEG objects; +- the **MHEG object access service** allows to access and modify the attributes of 'logical' MHEG objects; +- the **MHEG object communication service** allows to transfer MHEG objects between locations; + +- the **MHEG object location service** allows to manage and resolve references to MHEG objects; +- the **MHEG object handling service** allows to manage access to and interchange of physical MHEG objects; +- the **MHEG object storage service** allows to store MHEG object bitstrings and access them; +- the **MHEG object encoding/decoding service** allows to encode or decode MHEG objects; +- additional services for real-time distribution, presentation and production of MHEG objects and contents may be considered. + +Different kinds of MHEG-related entities, bearing strong relationships with each other but being nevertheless of different types (therefore not comparable), are being handled by these software services: + +- the MHEG interpretation service handles rt-objects, sockets, channels and mh-objects; +- the MHEG object access service handles mh-objects; +- the MHEG object handling service 'handles' MHEG objects. Since MHEG objects are virtual rather than physical objects, this service relies on services that handle physical 'representations' of MHEG objects, such as storage or transport services; +- the MHEG object location service handles MHEG generic references. Through the use of maps, it is able to resolve such references, i.e. translate them into identifiers understandable by the requesting application; +- the MHEG object communication service handles interchanged MHEG objects; +- the MHEG object storage service handles stored MHEG objects and manages MHEG object storage locations, whose type depend on the underlying storage mechanism, e.g. files, database records; +- the MHEG object encoding/decoding service provides functions for transforming mh-objects into MHEG objects and vice versa. + +The MHEG-API consists of the interface provided by the following services, that shall be provided by Conforming MHEG engines: + +- the MHEG interpretation service (mandatory); +- the MHEG object access service (optional). + +## 6 API definition principles + +### 6.1 Satisfaction of technical requirements on the MHEG-API + +Following the recommendations of ISO/IEC JTC 1 N 2965 [11]: "Guidelines for JTC 1 API Standardisation", the MHEG-API is defined as an abstract API specification, i.e. a language-independent description of the semantics of a set of functionality in an abstract syntax using abstract data types. + +Following the recommendations of ETR 225, the MHEG-API standard should meet the following requirements: + +- portability; +- genericity; +- conformance testability; +- implementability. + +The **portability** requirement states that the MHEG-API standard should enable MHEG applications to use the MHEG object manipulation and interchange service provided by MHEG engines in a way independent of: + +- the programming language used for the MHEG application; +- the underlying operating system. + +This Recommendation meets the portability requirement by the definition of an abstract API specification. + +The **genericity** requirement states that the MHEG-API standard should provide appropriate support to cover all the common requirements of MHEG applications. + +This Recommendation meets the genericity requirement through defining the MHEG-API at the most basic level, e.g. by defining primitives that match MHEG elementary actions and data types that match MHEG data types. This guarantees to maximise the range of MHEG object manipulations made available to applications. + +The **conformance testability** requirement states that the MHEG-API standard should make it as easy as possible to ensure the conformance of MHEG engines to the MHEG-API standard, i.e. the correct provision of this API by an MHEG engine under test as well as the conformance of MHEG applications to the MHEG-API standard, i.e. the correct use of this API by an MHEG application under test. + +This Recommendation meets the conformance testability requirement by formal expression of the requirements on conforming implementations and conforming applications, as well as by the use of a formal description technique for the definition of the MHEG-API. + +The **implementability** requirement states that the MHEG-API standard should take into account simplicity and clarity both in the definition and the formulation to make implementation of conforming MHEG engines as easy as possible. + +This Recommendation meets the implementability requirement by the provision of informative guidelines to deduce language binding specifications and message encoding rules from the abstract API specification. + +## 6.2 Use of Interface Definition Language (IDL) ISO/IEC 14750 [10] + +The MHEG-API is defined using IDL. + +### 6.2.1 Comprehensive introduction to IDL + +IDL is a formal description technique for specifying the services provided by objects for use by applications or other objects. Although object-oriented communication in distributed environments is actually a technology of some relevance with regard to the definition of a multimedia core toolbox, this Recommendation only considers the use of IDL and its underlying object model as a context-independent formal description technique for the specification of APIs. + +Application of IDL should be based on an underlying object model. Such an object model is defined in terms of **object types** which support **operations** characterising the behaviour of objects. **Objects** are instances of object types. Objects may be identified using **object references**. **Non-object types** can be instantiated but do not support operations. Operations are defined by a **signature** consisting of a name, a list of input or output **parameter** types and a list of **result** types. The set of operation signatures defined for a type is the **interface** of that type. **Subtyping** allows to define type hierarchies, with subtypes providing their supertypes' interface as a part of their own interface. **Operation requests** may have different operational semantics such as synchronous, asynchronous, etc. Consequences of an operation request include side effects, results and **exceptions**. + +IDL is the language used to describe the interfaces (i.e. the set of operations) provided by objects. It consists of lexical conventions, preprocessing directives and an Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF) grammar. An IDL specification of an API consists of data type definitions, constant definitions, exception definitions, interface definitions and module definitions. + +### 6.2.2 The Interface Definition Language + +This subclause describes the main concepts that are necessary to the understanding of the MHEG-API definition. + +The object model provides an organised representation of objects concepts and terminology. It defines a partial model for computation that embodies the key characteristics of objects as realised by the presented technologies. + +The object model presented in this Recommendation is abstract in that it is not directly realised by any particular technology. + +An objects system provides services to its clients. A client of a service is any entity capable of requesting the service. + +#### 6.2.2.1 Objects + +An object system includes entities known as objects. An object is an identifiable, encapsulated entity that provides one or more services that can be requested by a client. + +#### 6.2.2.2 Requests + +Clients request services by issuing requests. A request is an event, i.e. something that occurs at a particular time. The information associated with a request consists of an operation, a target object, zero or more (actual) parameters, and an optional request context. + +A *request form* is a description or pattern that can be evaluated or performed multiple times to cause the issuing of requests. + +A *value* is anything that may be a legitimate (actual) parameter in a request. A value may identify an object, for the purpose of performing the request. A value that identifies an object is called object name. + +An *object reference* that reliably denotes a particular object. Specifically, an object reference will identify the same object each time the reference is used in a request (subject to certain pragmatic limit in space and time). An object may be denoted by multiple, distinct object references. + +A request may have parameters that are used to pass data to the target object; it may also have a request context which provides additional information about the request. + +A request causes a service to be performed on behalf of the client. One outcome of performing a service is returning to the client the results, if any, defined for the request. + +If an abnormal condition occurs during the performance of a request, an *exception* is returned. The exception may carry additional return parameters particular to the exception. + +The request parameters are identified by position. A parameter may be an input parameter, an output parameter, or an input-output parameter. A request may also return a single result value, as well as any output parameters. + +The following semantics holds for all requests: + +- any aliasing of parameter values is neither guaranteed removed nor guaranteed preserved; +- the order in which aliased output parameters are written is not guaranteed; +- any output parameters are undefined if an exception is returned; +- the values which may be returned in an input-output parameter may be constrained by the value which was input. + +#### 6.2.2.3 Types + +A type is an identifiable with an associated predicate (a single-argument mathematical function with a boolean result) defined over values. A value satisfies a type if the predicate is true for that value. A value that satisfies a type is called *member of the type*. + +Types are used in signatures to restrict a possible parameter or to characterise a possible result. + +The *extension* of the type is the set of values that satisfy the type at any particular time. + +An object type is a type whose members are objects (literally, values that identify objects). In other words, an object type is satisfied only by (values that identify) objects. + +#### 6.2.2.4 Interfaces + +An *interface* is a description of a set of possible operations that a client may request of an object. An object satisfies an interface if it can be specified as target object in each potential request described by the interface. + +An *interface type* is a type that is satisfied by any object (literally, any value that identifies an object) that satisfies a particular interface. + +#### 6.2.2.5 Operations + +An *operation* is an identifiable entity that denotes a service that can be requested. + +An operation is identified by an *operation identifier*. An operation is not a value. + +An operation has a signature that describes the legitimate values of request parameters and returned results. In particular a signature consists of: + +- a specification of parameters required in requests for that operation; +- a specification of the results of the operations; +- a specification of the exceptions that may be raised by a request for the operation and the types of parameters accompanying them; +- a specification of additional contextual information that may affect the request; +- an indication of the execution semantics the client should expect from a request for the operation. + +A *parameter* is characterised by its mode and its type. The mode indicates whether the value should be passed from the client to the server (in), from the server to the client (out), or both (in-out). The parameter's type constrains the possible value which may be passed in the direction(s) dictated by the mode. + +The *return result* is a distinguished out parameter. + +An *exception* is an indication that an operation request was not performed successfully. An exception may be accompanied by additional exception-specific information. + +A *request context* provides additional, operation-specific information that may effect the performance of a request. + +Two styles of *execution semantics* are defined by the object model: + +- At-most-once: If an operation request returns successfully, it was performed exactly once; if it returns an exception indication, it was performed at most once. +- Best-effort: A best-effort operation is a request-only operation, i.e. it cannot return any results and the requester never synchronises with the completion, if any, of the request. + +The execution semantics to be expected are associated with an operation. This prevents a client and object implementation from assuming different execution semantics. + +Note that the client is able to invoke an at-most-once operation in a synchronous or deferred-synchronous manner. + +#### 6.2.2.6 Attributes + +An interface may have attributes. An attribute is logically equivalent to declaring a pair of accessor functions: one to retrieve the value of the attribute and one to set the value of the attribute. + +An attribute may be read-only, in which case only the retrieval accessor function is defined. + +#### 6.2.2.7 Subtyping versus inheritance + +Subtyping is a relationship between types based on their interfaces. It defines the rules by which objects of one type are determined to be acceptable in contexts expecting another type. Inheritance is a mechanism for reuse. Many object systems do not distinguish between subtyping and inheritance. The following subclause defines the two concepts separately, but then explicitly states how they are related. + +### 6.2.2.8 Subtyping + +The object model supports subtyping for object types. Intuitively, one type is a subtype of another if the first is a specialisation or refinement of the second. Operationally it means that any object of the first type can be used in any context that expects an object of the second type; that is, if S is a subtype of T, an object of type S may be used wherever an object of type T may be used. In other words, objects of type S are also of type T. Subtypes can have multiple parent types, with the implication that an object that is an instance of type S is also an instance of all supertypes of type S. The relationships between types define a type hierarchy, which can be drawn as a directed acyclic graph. + +### 6.2.2.9 Inheritance + +Inheritance is a notational mechanism for defining a type S in terms of another type T. The definition of S inherits all the operations of T and may provide other operations. Intuitively, inherits means that the operations defined for T are also defined for or can be used by S. Subtyping is a relationship between interfaces (types). Inheritance can apply to both interfaces and implementations; that is both interfaces and implementations can be inherited. The object model is concerned with inheritance of interfaces. It does not specify what can happen with implementations of inherited operations (for example, whether they may be changed or overridden by a subtype). + +## 6.2.3 Principles for mapping IDL interfaces to API primitives + +The MHEG engine interface consists of a set of API primitives that can be organised into clusters according to the target entity of a primitive. Definition of this interface can therefore logically be structured according to the operation provider. In the MHEG-API context, objects that provide interfaces need not be implemented as separate object implementations. More likely, they would be internal entities handled by the MHEG engine. As for the MHEG standard, the MHEG-API definition follows an object-oriented methodology without requiring the implementations to use object-oriented design or programming techniques. + +Services are defined not as the interface that a module should provide but as a set of operations conspiring to offer a service, to which clients should have access. + +The MHEG-API therefore consists of IDL interface objects which provide operations that map API primitives. The object instance on which an operation is requested corresponds to the main (target) parameter of the API primitive. + +## 6.2.4 Fulfilment of technical requirements + +The use of IDL contributes to the fulfilment of the portability and implementability technical requirements: + +- IDL is independent from a programming language. Moreover, publicly available specifications for IDL language binding to C and C++ exist, and others are under study; +- IDL provides a complete formal description language which allows a very concise, readable and efficient specification of the MHEG-API. Moreover, this formal description language is also appropriate for automatic compilation, which means that MHEG-API implementations could be automatically generated for a given language and operating system using appropriate IDL compilers. This, of course, could be a major element in facilitating implementability and general use of the standard API rather than any specific interface. + +## 6.3 Overview of the API definition and general principles + +### 6.3.1 The MHEG-API Object model + +This subclause presents the object model, i.e. the object types (interfaces) provided by the MHEG-API and their subtyping relationships. + +It may be noted that the objects described hereafter are introduced as useful concepts for specifying the interface, but are not required to be implemented as separate objects. The MHEG-API is specified as an abstract API in terms of operations provided by objects, but implementations of the MHEG-API will be provided by MHEG engine implementations. + +![UML class diagram showing the object model for MHEG.

+ +# Recommendation T.180 + +# HOMOGENEOUS ACCESS MECHANISM TO COMMUNICATION SERVICES + +(Geneva, 1998) + +# 1 Scope + +The XAPI, which is an abbreviation for eXtensive Application Programming Interface, is an operating system and language-independent homogenous access mechanism to general communication services. It is not dedicated to a certain layer, but allows access to all layers of the OSI reference model and other layered communication models (e.g. conferencing). The XAPI provides a framework of functions for the use in communication applications. All communication services are accessible through this set of functions. The XAPI does not impose any restrictions on the service interface of the underlying communication platform. + +Which services are made available via the XAPI depends on the installed service providers, and not on the XAPI, which only provides the access mechanism. New service providers can be added in the XAPI configuration. Thus, the communication system can be tailored to specific requirements and all communication services are accessible via one homogeneous access mechanism. + +# 2 References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provision which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

The main part of this Recommendation contains steps 1 and 2 which are common for all providers. Step 3 is defined in Appendix I containing a list of examples of service providers. Appendix I contains seven parts (I.1 to I.7). + +### **Step 1:** + +Subclauses 6 and 7 introduce the XAPI and a model of communication which is supported by the XAPI. The model represents appropriate connection-oriented communication service primitives which apply not only to peer-to-peer but also to multipeer communication. The service primitives and their sequences possible at a service access point describe a generic communication structure which is applicable to data services as well as to multimedia services. + +### **Step 2:** + +Subclauses 8 and 9 introduce the XAPI functions in detail. The relationship of the functions with respect to the model of communication (step 1) is pointed out. + +### Step 3: + +Steps 1 and 2 specify those aspects of the XAPI which apply to all providers and which are used by all types of applications. Steps 1 and 2 do not contain any protocol-specific information as option or service primitive definitions. All definitions that may be carried by XAPI services, but related to the specific underlying protocol stacks, are contained as examples in the following subclauses of Appendix I: + +- Subclause I.1: XAPI access to the service provider for the ISDN B-channel +- Subclause I.2: XAPI access to the service provider for BFT over T.30 +- Subclause I.3: XAPI access to the service provider for FAX4 and BFT +- Subclause I.4: XAPI access to the service provider for ACSE and ROSE +- Subclause I.5: XAPI access to the service provider for audio and video control +- Subclause I.6: XAPI access to the service provider for T.120 conference control +- Subclause I.7: XAPI access to the service provider for T.127 MBFT + +An IDL description of the XAPI can be found in Annex A. + +A list of error codes that may be returned by the XAPI functions is given in Annex B. + +Appendix I describes the access of the XAPI user to specific providers. + +A tutorial is presented in Appendix II. + +# 6 Introduction to the XAPI + +The XAPI, which is an abbreviation for eXtensive Application Programming Interface, is an operating system and language-independent homogenous access mechanism to general communication services. It is not dedicated to a certain layer, but allows access to all layers of the OSI reference model and other layered communication models (e.g. conferencing). The XAPI provides a framework of functions for the use in communication applications. All communication services are accessible through this set of functions. The XAPI imposes no restrictions on the service interface of the underlying communication platform. + +The services made available via XAPI depend on the installed service providers, and not on XAPI which only provides the access mechanism. New service providers can be added in the XAPI configuration. Thus the communication system can be tailored to specific requirements, and all communication features are accessible via one homogeneous interface. + +This Recommendation specifies the general aspects of the XAPI, as they apply to all providers and as they are used by all types of applications. It does not contain any protocol-specific information as option or service primitive definitions. All definitions that are carried by XAPI services, but related to the specific underlying protocols, are contained as examples in Appendix I: e.g. XAPI access to the service provider for BFT over T.30, XAPI access to the service provider for ACSE and ROSE, XAPI access to the service provider for audio and video control, XAPI access to the service provider for T.120 MBFT, etc. + +## 6.1 Location of the XAPI + +The XAPI is a communication interface inside a terminal equipment. It allows a service user to communicate with its respective service provider. Therefore, two entities can be distinguished around the XAPI. These are the service user (XAPI user, or user for short) and the service provider (or provider for short). + +The XAPI defines a number of functions. First, the XAPI allows for the binding between a user and a provider (Initialization phase). After having performed successfully this process, a connection between the user and its peer(s) may be established, maintained and released (Communication establishment phase, Data transfer phase, Communication release phase). Finally, the interaction between user and provider is terminated (De-initialization phase). + +There are several XAPI utility functions which can be used in all phases of communication. These functions are used to inform the XAPI user about current events on a service endpoint or indicate that no event is available, to change the execution mode (i.e. synchronous or asynchronous mode) of the XAPI functions for the service endpoint, to inform the user about the current characteristics of the underlying service providers, to negotiate protocol options, to provide error handling, etc. + +A service endpoint specifies a local link between a specific XAPI user and a specific provider. During the initialization phase a service endpoint is created and activated for use in communication. Figure 1 gives a picture of how the XAPI relates to user and provider after the creation of a communication path between them. Fd is the name of the accessory service endpoint. + +![Diagram showing the local link between a service user (XAPI user) and a service provider, connected via the XAPI interface.](a33da0f14e456f92539ce3e9b7d81f9a_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph TD + User["service user +(XAPI user)"] --- XAPI + XAPI --- Provider["service provider"] + style XAPI fill:none,stroke:none + +``` + +The diagram illustrates the connection between a service user and a service provider through the XAPI. A box at the top is labeled "service user (XAPI user)". A box at the bottom is labeled "service provider". A thick horizontal line represents the XAPI interface. A vertical line connects the service user box to the XAPI line, and another vertical line connects the XAPI line to the service provider box. The label "XAPI" is placed to the right of the horizontal line.

Figure 2 shows the general location of the XAPI within an OSI-like structured platform: the XAPI is located within the application layer (layer 7) of the OSI Reference Model. + +NOTE – The location also reflects the fact that the XAPI may be realized as a driver interface which is designed for use in different system architectures. Therefore, task-oriented functions such as file handling shall not be performed below the XAPI. + +![Diagram showing the location of XAPI within an OSI-like structured platform.

The four communication phases provided by XAPI functions are: + +- Initialization/de-initialization, +- Connection establishment, +- Data transfer, +- Connection release. + +Communication-related additional functions which are not mapped to a specific communication phase are listed in this subclause too. + +In the following, these phases as well as the additional functions are briefly described. A detailed definition of the functions is contained in clauses 8 and 9 respectively. Clause 7 introduces the semantic model for the communication-relevant functions of the XAPI. + +#### – Initialization/de-Initialization phase + +During the initialization phase, a service endpoint for the required service provider is created and activated for use in communication. In the following, this service endpoint is called Fd or Fd-i. When communication has finished, the endpoint is first deactivated and finally destructed in the de-initialization phase. There are four XAPI functions, supporting initialization and de-initialization. They are listed in the sequential order, in which they are used: + +Open:       x\_open + Bind:       x\_bind + Unbind:     x\_unbind + Close:      x\_close + +#### – **Connection establishment phase** + +During the connection establishment phase, users of the same service establish a connection between them (e.g. a Telefax terminal is connected to the remote Telefax terminal), or each of them establishes access to some appropriate multipoint connection by means of which they may communicate in a multipoint fashion with each other (e.g. a multipoint aware user application is connected to a multipoint session which offers communication facilities to matching user applications). + +These functions are supported by the XAPI in the connection establishment phase: + +| | | +|---------------------|-----------| +| Connect request: | x_conreq | +| Connect confirm: | x_conconf | +| Connect indication: | x_conind | +| Connect response: | x_conrsp | + +#### – **Data transfer phase** + +Once communication has been established, data may be transferred. There are functions to initiate the transfer of data, and additional functions (i.e. x\_sndsp and x\_rcvsp) that may be invoked during the data transfer phase. The latter serve for different purposes; e.g. the functions are used to change the set of capabilities which characterize the data transfer phase. These functions are supported by the XAPI in the data transfer phase: + +| | | +|----------------------------|-----------| +| Send data: | x_snddata | +| Receive data: | x_rcvdata | +| Send service primitive: | x_sndsp | +| Receive service primitive: | x_rcvsp | + +#### – **Connection release phase** + +The XAPI provides two ways to leave the communication: abortive release (disconnection) and orderly release. The abortive release is a mandatory feature and is to be supported by all service providers. The orderly release is an optional feature. These functions are supported by the XAPI in the connection release phase: + +| | | +|-----------------------|-----------| +| Send disconnect: | x_snddis | +| Receive disconnect: | x_rcvdis | +| Release request: | x_relreq | +| Release confirmation: | x_relconf | +| Release indication: | x_relind | +| Release response: | x_relrsp | + +#### – **Additional communication-related functions** + +During connection establishment, data transfer, and connection release, general information services (e.g. information on conferences that are currently in existence) may be invoked by the user. In general, these services are not related to some specific connection. These functions are supported by the XAPI: + +| | | +|----------------------|-----------| +| Send information: | x_sndinfo | +| Receive information: | x_rcvinfo | + +The function `x_rcvend` indicates to the user that the local resource management has finished all operations concerning the release phase of a connection and that a new connection may now be established: + +Receive end: `x_rcvend` + +## 6.3 Applications that are supported by XAPI + +Various kinds of applications are supported by XAPI.

It shows four types of applications (XAPI MBFT user, XAPI H.320 user, XAPI FAX 3/4 user, and XAPI Mail user) connected to a central XAPI block, which represents a homogeneous access structure. This structure is then connected to three different types of protocols and transparent access (ISDN, ATM, and PSTN), which are the underlying networks. The diagram is labeled T0827080-97. + +Figure 3/T.180: Example: Applications, protocols and networks around the XAPI. The diagram illustrates a layered architecture.

The entire diagram is labeled with 'T0827080-97' at the bottom right. + +**Figure 3/T.180 – Example: Applications, protocols and networks around the XAPI** + +Different types of applications are recognized that make use of XAPI. This implies that the use of XAPI functions may have different interpretations in different application environments. + +There are point-to-point applications, where two users are directly connected during the communication phase and "multipoint-aware" applications, where many users may communicate with each other. Typical examples for point-to-point applications are Binary File Transfer (according to Recommendation T.434) or Telefax applications. As XAPI is the communication interface, store-and-forward applications also fall into this type of point-to-point communication. + +There are also applications where the user may be connected to a service (e.g. offered by the network operator). The service itself may connect other providers on behalf of the requesting user and provide the requested information. In this case, no direct connection exists between end-users for a specific time period during the communication phase. (This may be the case when an application download is necessary from a level-1 gateway, before the user can be connected to the service provider.) + +Additionally, the XAPI may be used in cases where nesting of applications is supported: a first "general" application is established and "specific" applications may be invoked afterwards (see Figure 15). Conferences are an example of such a configuration, in which several users can agree to establish a conference as the general application and subsequently select specific multipoint-aware applications that are used in the conference (e.g. Multipoint Binary File Transfer, Still Image, etc.). + +The different types of applications may have an impact on the use of the XAPI functions in the four communication phases. For example, for the point-to-point applications, only one initialization phase is necessary (i.e. only one connection is needed). In turn, for conference configurations, more than one connection may be needed. Details are described in clause 7. + +The XAPI divides XAPI user processes from service providers. So the XAPI is that part of the functionality of a platform by means of which an arbitrary user may have access to appropriate services to meet the user requirements. + +Many types of applications may have access to different service providers. Figure 4 illustrates the access to the communication platform. + +![](9c6461e1e94afae4dec455e69a2ce152_img.jpg) + +| | | | | | | | +|--------------------------------------|-----------------|-----------------------|------------------------------------|----------------------|---------------------|---------------| +| Telephony

The model represents appropriate connection-oriented communication service primitives, which apply not only to peer-to-peer but also to multipoint communication. The service primitives and their sequences possible at service access points describe a generic communication structure, which is applicable to data services as well as to multimedia services. + +## 7.1 Classes of communication + +### 7.1.1 Peer-to-peer communication + +The OSI reference model describes cooperation between computers independent of implementation aspects. + +The *layer* is one of the basic concepts of the OSI reference model. When referring to a single layer, it is conventional to call it the (N)-layer. In the same way, the layer above is the (N + 1)-layer and the layer beneath the (N – 1)-layer. + +The (N)-layer protocol provides the functionality of the (N)-layer: every layer is defined by a precise set of functions and associated messages [Protocol Data Units (PDUs)]. A "local part" of an (N)-layer protocol is called (N)-entity. + +The purpose of a protocol is to provide a service to users (entities) residing above the respective layer boundary. + +(N)-service users have access to the (N)-service only at (N)-Service Access Points [(N)-SAPs]. Associated with each SAP is an address. The address of that SAP can be used to identify the entity. A service endpoint consists of a SAP address and an additional identifier, which is unique within the scope of the SAP. + +Most OSI relationships among communicating users (applications) are peer-to-peer. In a peer-to-peer relationship, the users may negotiate the characteristics of their interaction: both users (an entity and its peer entity) have potential equal rights. + +In the framework of the OSI reference model, two modes of operations are defined: connection oriented (CO) operation and connectionless (CL) operation. + +For connection mode operation, an (N)-connection is defined as "an association established by the (N)-layer between two or more (N + 1)-entities for the transfer of data". Three phases of operation are characterizing this mode, namely connection establishment, data transfer, and connection release. + +The definition of the OSI services for connections between two entities (point-to-point connections) reflects these modes: for CO operation dedicated services such as (N)-CONNECT for connection establishment, (N)-DATA in the data transfer phase, and (N)-DISCONNECT or (N)-RELEASE for connection release are specified. The elements of these services are called service primitives. They apply at specific service endpoints. + +These primitives and their sequences specify services which may be accessed at (almost) any layer boundary: the layer specific information is contained in accessory parameters. Thus the primitives and their sequences give rise to call the model also a generic communication structure. + +There are OSI services in the data transfer phase, which apply only to a few layers. The OSI Session Service S-TOKEN-PLEASE is an example. In the model of communication described in this subclause these (and other) services are subsumed under the primitives X-SNDSP and X-RCVSP (see below). + +Figure 5 shows the (N)-CONNECT service. User A is the initiator of an (N)-connection (A, B). Correct (N)-connection establishment between entity A (user A) and its peer entity (user B) is performed by communicating the service primitives 1 to 4 in the order stated. + +![Sequence diagram of (N)-CONNECT service primitives between two users and a provider.](e69b9188aa2c14ec6b21c83f711fef65_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the sequence of service primitives for the (N)-CONNECT service. It shows two (N)-service users, user A and user B, interacting with an (N)-service provider. User A's interface is labeled (N)-SAP A and User B's is labeled (N)-SAP B. The sequence of events is as follows: + +- 1 (N)-CONNECT request: User A sends a request to the provider. +- 2 (N)-CONNECT indication: The provider sends an indication to User B. +- 3 (N)-CONNECT response: User B sends a response to the provider. +- 4 (N)-CONNECT confirmation: The provider sends a confirmation to User A. + +The diagram is identified by the reference T0827100-97. + +Sequence diagram of (N)-CONNECT service primitives between two users and a provider. + +**Figure 5/T.180 – Sequence of service primitives of the (N)-CONNECT service** + +### 7.1.2 Multipeer communication + +The primitives described in 7.1.1 will now be used to access services offered in point-to-point environments as well as in multipoint environments. To differentiate between the "pure" OSI semantics of the services and the semantics described in this subclause, the services and the primitives are prefixed by the character X- (e.g. X-CONNECT service). + +The X-primitives allow entities to access connection-oriented services at specific service endpoints. These services are: + +- connection establishment service (X-CONNECT service); +- data transfer service (X-DATA service); +- primitive transfer service (X-SP service); +- disconnect service (X-DISCONNECT service); +- orderly release service (X-RELEASE service); +- information service (X-INFO service). + +The semantics of these services are provider dependent. The X-primitives and the sequences of service primitives at a service endpoint are defined in 7.2 (see Figure 10). The introduction of connectionless services is out of the scope of this Recommendation. + +A connection is a logical association between two or more entities, enabling communication between them. As an example, and from the viewpoint of a service endpoint, a connection is established by the usage of an allowed sequence of primitives of the X-CONNECT service. Which primitives apply depends on the provider. + +A connection between two entities is called a *point-to-point* connection. A connection between more than two entities is called a *multipoint* connection. + +In peer-to-peer relationships, two users (applications) may exchange information via a point-to-point connection. + +In multipeer-to-multipeer relationships, multiple users (applications) may exchange information via a multipoint connection. + +Point-to-point and multipoint environments offer the communication facilities of an underlying provider to users rather than describe the relationship among users. + +In point-to-point environments, the negotiation of the user requirements and the provider facilities is usually performed by a single service, the X-CONNECT service. Afterwards, both users may send and receive data using the X-DATA service. + +In multipoint environments, negotiating the provider facilities is more complex than in point-to-point environments. Therefore, it may be advantageous to separate the negotiation of the provider facilities from that of the user requirements. + +Conference environments may be looked at as multipoint environments, where specific conference providing services are added. Separating conference users from conference providers, + +conference users may access: + +- conference control services (e.g. getting information on conferences, creating a conference, joining a conference, leaving a conference, etc.); as well as +- conference application services (e.g. multipoint file transfer, whiteboard, audio, video, device control, etc.); and + +conference providers may support: + +- conference control (providing the services required from users, controlling the conference resources, ...); as well as +- application protocols (e.g. protocols providing file transfer, protocols providing whiteboards, protocols providing audio, ...); and +- multipoint communication. + +Application protocols are point-to-point protocols using point-to-point communication functions, or multipoint protocols using multipoint communication functions. Conference control may comprise specific conference management functions (e.g. conference conductorship). + +Figure 6 shows an example of a conference, consisting in three conference users A, B, and C, and a conference providing service S, and a conference provider. The service S consists in a user part and a provider part (the latter being part of the conference provider). + +![Diagram of a conference environment showing users A, B, and C, a service S, and a conference provider.](f0b7aaa539a2f77c98d53ed6c1c2366b_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the architecture of a conference environment.

Conference control may be supplied by a separate connection (i.e. control connection).

Which services are made available to users depend on the underlying provider. + +In the following, the service primitives are described which are supporting these three phases. + +The connect service may comprise end-to-end confirmation using the request, the indication, the response, and the confirmation primitives in a peer-to-peer like manner (see Figure 5 for example), or it may comprise some other functionality (i.e. no peer-to-peer confirmation). + +In general, applying the connect service will force the local user as well as the provider to switch to the data transfer phase of a connection. This service will address the remote user(s) and/or the provider. + +During connection establishment phase (X-CONNECT service), either: + +- e1 two users of the same service (i.e. a user and its peer) establish a connection between them, (one user is considered *active* and initiates the connection, while the other user is *passive* and waits for any other service user to request a connection); or +- e2 a user establishes a control connection to communicate in a control service defined fashion (e.g. to negotiate provider facilities); or +- e3 a user establishes an application connection (i.e. an application is connected to the provider), which then offers multipoint services to the application; or + +- e4 a user establishes a connection combining e2 and e3 services. + +The service primitives that are supporting the connection establishment phase are: + +- **X-CONREQ** requests a connection to a remote service user (e1), or it requests access to some appropriate server to communicate in a server-defined fashion (e2), or it requests an application to be connected to the provider (e3), or it requests a combined service, consisting in e2 and e3 services. The called user's protocol address(es) or a service-related address is passed as an argument. Additional parameters may be passed as arguments too. +- **X-CONCONF** is used in conjunction with X-CONREQ to establish a connection or an access to the requested service. X-CONREQ does not wait for an answer from the called user or service. On receipt of the X-CONCONF primitive, the calling user may determine whether or not the request has been accepted by the remote user or by the server. +- **X-CONIND** indicates a connection request from a remote service user. It provides the calling user's protocol address, maybe some protocol-specific (or service-specific) parameters proposed by the caller, and the user data from the connect indication protocol data unit. +- **X-CONRSP** is initialized by the passive user to accept a connection or a service after an X-CONIND has been received. Protocol-specific (service-specific) parameters and user data may be submitted as arguments of the X-CONRSP. A negative response may or may not be provided. + +Once, a connection has been established, data may be transferred (X-DATA service). There are service primitives to transfer data, and additional service primitives (X-SP service) that serve for different purposes, e.g. they may be used to change the set of capabilities which characterize the communication (e.g. change of QoS). Depending on the provider, transfer of parallel data flow may be supported by the connection. Parallel data may be transferred by the provider due to differing priorities. There are four primitives defined for use in the data transfer phase: + +- **X-SNDDATA** enables the user to play the role of a source of user-relevant information. Playing this role data of any type and of any priority (if supported by the service provider) are sent over the connection to the communication partner(s). The data transfer between the peers is controlled by protocol-specific parameters that, usually, have been negotiated in the connection establishment phase. Additional protocol-specific parameters may be specified in the X-SNDDATA. +- **X-RCVDATA** enables the user to play the role of a sink of user-relevant information. Playing this role data of any type and of any priority are received over the connection which have been sent by the source. Beside the user data, X-RCVDATA may deliver protocol-specific parameters as additional information concerning the user data. +- **X-SNDSP** enables the user to transfer a protocol-specific service primitive, or other control information, or some other connection-related information to the provider and/or other user(s). Examples are the transfer of information between the applications (e.g. for the OSI Session Provider, the S-TOKEN-PLEASE rq. is transferred to the provider to request a data token from the active side), or the change of the set of capabilities which characterize the communication (e.g. for the H.320 service provider, the mode switch request primitive is passed to the provider to initiate a change of the current transmission mode). In the latter case, it depends on the + +provider whether a service primitive is handled completely local (e.g. changing only parameter values of a local codec) or leads to a data transfer. The available service primitives are defined in the descriptions of the appropriate service providers. + +- **X-RCVSP** enables the user to receive a protocol-specific service primitive, or other control information, or some other connection related information. The primitive may indicate the receipt of a protocol data unit or may be generated as result of some internal state changes or events in the local service provider. The primitives that may be returned are defined in the descriptions of the appropriate service providers. + +Two ways are provided to release a connection: abortive release (X-DISCONNECT service) and orderly release (X-RELEASE service). The abortive release is a mandatory feature and to be supported by all XAPI service providers. The orderly release is an optional feature. + +The abortive release may be invoked in the connection establishment phase or the data transfer phase. The abortive release takes effect immediately on request. Once an abortive release has been initiated there is no guarantee that data on the way between a user and its peer(s) will be delivered correctly. They may be lost. Service primitives supporting abortive release are: + +- **X-SNDDIS** initiates an abortive release during the data transfer phase or rejects an incoming call during connection establishment. X-SNDDIS takes user data and service primitive parameters as arguments. +- **X-RCVDIS** may be used during data transfer and connection establishment. The parameters of the X-RCVDIS indicate the reason for the abortive release. + +An orderly release may be invoked by either user in the data transfer phase only. The orderly release procedure allows a user and its peer(s) to gracefully release a connection and thus prevents the loss of data that may occur during an abortive release. Orderly release is a confirmed service. In an orderly release, protocol-specific parameters may be negotiated between the user and its peer(s). Conflicts are assumed to be solved by the provider. In the case of multipoint communication, the orderly release causes specific synchronization. The usage of the orderly release service in multipoint environments is for further study. Primitives supporting orderly release are: + +- **X-RELREQ** initiates an orderly release during the data transfer phase. The function takes user data and service primitive parameters as arguments, but it is protocol dependent if they are supported by the service provider and will be transferred to the remote user(s) or not. The connection is not terminated before the release confirmation has arrived at the service endpoint and data or service primitives can be received from the endpoint while waiting for the release confirmation. Sending data is not possible in this state. +- **X-RELCONF** receives a release confirmation from the service endpoint. The primitive may contain user data and service primitive parameters. If a parameter negotiation has been initiated with the X-RELREQ, the negotiation results are contained as service primitive parameters of the release confirmation. The communication is finished with the X-RELCONF. A negative confirmation is not provided by the model. +- **X-RELIND** receives a release indication from the service endpoint. The primitive may contain the user data and service primitive parameters submitted with the X-RELREQ. The application has to respond to the indication with an X-RELRSP immediately. After reception of the release indication, no more data may be sent. + +- **X-RELRSP** responds to a previously received orderly release indication. The primitive takes user data and service primitive parameters as arguments, but it is protocol dependent if they are supported by the service provider or not. If the remote user initiated a parameter negotiation with the release request, the application may respond to the proposals returned by the X-RELIND primitive. The final values for the negotiated parameters have to be specified as service primitive parameters in the X-RELRSP. The communication is finished with the X-RELRSP. Refusing the release with X-RELRSP(–) is not provided by the model. + +General information services (e.g. information on conferences that are currently in existence) may be invoked by the user in any state (X-INFO service). In general, these services are not related to some specific connection. + +- **X-SNDINFO** initiates an information request. +- **X-RCVINFO** may be used to receive information. + +In Figure 10, there are six possible states for a service endpoint representing the connection establishment phase, the data transfer phase, and the connection release phase: + +- **Idle** The service endpoint is active and the connection establishment phase may be performed. +- **Outcon** The endpoint is engaged in active connection establishment. An outgoing call has been initiated and now a connect confirmation is awaited. +- **Incon** The endpoint is engaged in passive connection establishment. An incoming connect indication has been received and now a connect response is awaited from the user. +- **Connected** A connection has been established on this service endpoint which is now in the data transfer phase. +- **Inrel** An orderly release indication has been received on this endpoint and now a release response is awaited from the user. +- **Outrel** An orderly release has been initiated on this endpoint by the user and now an orderly release confirmation is awaited. + +The states Inrel and Outrel are significant only for services that support orderly release. + +# 8 Description of the XAPI + +This clause introduces the architecture of the XAPI, the XAPI functions, and the relationship of the functions with respect to the model of communication, which was introduced in clause 7.

For peer-to-peer as well as for multipeer communication (e.g. for conferencing), the same XAPI functions apply for each service endpoint: + +- A service endpoint is initialized using the `x_open()` and the `x_bind()` functions. +- Connection establishment is supported by the `x_conreq()` and the `x_conconf()` functions (or by the `x_conind()` and the `x_conrsp()` functions). +- The data transfer phase is supported by the `x_snddata()` and `x_rcvdata()`, and/or by the `x_sndsp()` and `x_rcvsp()` functions. +- Connection release is supported by the `x_snddis()`, or by the `x_rcvdis()` functions (or by the functions of the orderly release). +- The service endpoint is de-initialized using the `x_unbind()` and the `x_close()` functions. +- The functions `x_sndinfo()` and `x_rcvinfo()` may be used for transferring appropriate information between user and provider via the XAPI. + +NOTE – For conference control as well as for other applications, the connect service may comprise end-to-end confirmation [using the request, the indication, the response, and the confirmation functions in a peer-to-peer like manner (see Figure 3 for example)], or it may comprise minor functionality (i.e. no peer-to-peer confirmation). + +According to the Generic Model of a Conference platform (see Figure 12), there is a separate user instance (accessing the provider at the service endpoint Fd-cc) that controls the conference, thus unburdening these functions from all other conference applications. If such an instance does not exist, conference control (if any) has to be handled by some (or by all) multipoint-aware applications. This does not affect the usability of the XAPI: as for other cases, the XAPI user access to some appropriate provider has to be specified in a separate part of Appendix I. + +## 8.2 XAPI functions and the corresponding state transition diagram + +The XAPI functions may be divided in two classes: the class of communication-related functions and the class of not communication-related functions.

The refinement preserves all the sequences of service primitives which are defined in Figure 8. + +For each service endpoint, the XAPI has nine possible states: + +- X\_UNINIT            The service endpoint is not initialized. This is the initial and the final state. +- X\_UNBND            The service endpoint is initialized but not activated. +- X\_IDLE             The service endpoint is active and the connection establishment phase may performed. +- X\_OUTCON           The endpoint is engaged in active connection establishment. An outgoing call has been initiated and now a connect confirmation is awaited. +- X\_INCON            The endpoint is engaged in passive connection establishment. An incoming connect indication has been received and now a connect response is awaited from the user. +- X\_CONNECTED        A connection has been established on this service endpoint which is now in the data transfer phase. +- X\_INREL            An orderly release indication has been received on this endpoint and now a release response is awaited from the user. +- X\_OUTREL           An orderly release has been initiated on this endpoint by the user and now an orderly release confirmation is awaited. +- X\_WAITEND          The connection established on this endpoint has been released. Now the endpoint is waiting for an end indication from the service provider, which indicates that the service provider is ready to establish a new connection. + +The states X\_INREL and X\_OUTREL are significant only for services that support orderly release. + +Figure 14 shows an example sequence for the communication between two or more users. Fd is the name of the service endpoint, which is created and activated by the usage of the x\_open() and x\_bind() function calls. After having performed this phase successfully, a connection between the user and its peer(s) is established [x\_conreq() and x\_conconf() functions]. In the Data transfer phase data are exchanged between the users [x\_snddata(), x\_rcvdata()]. Afterwards, the connection is released [x\_snddis()], the x\_rcvend() function is performed, and the service endpoint Fd is deactivated [x\_unbind()] and finally destructed [x\_close()]. + +![](f57c7b37d7a05a99618104f390089f03_img.jpg) + +| Phases | (multi)peer-to-(multi)peer

So the phase of conference management will encompass the inner phases: + +- local application resource management; +- connection establishment; +- data transfer; and +- connection release. + +Users may join or leave a running conference and applications may be added to or removed from a conference. These operations do not only affect the phases connection establishment, data transfer, and connection release, but will require operations of the local application resource management too. Last, but not least, the phase of local conference resource management may be influenced by these operations and, therefore, it may encompass all other phases. + +# 9 XAPI functions + +The XAPI functions may be divided in two classes: the class of communication-related functions and the class of not communication-related functions. The communication-related functions are described in 9.2. The XAPI functions that are not related to communication may be subdivided in two classes: the class of functions supporting the initialization and de-initialization phase, described in 9.3.1, and the class of utility functions, described in 9.3.2. + +A list of the XAPI functions is given in 8.2. Figure 13 shows the state transition diagram. + +Annex A contains an IDL description of the XAPI. A list of error codes that may be returned by the XAPI functions is given in Annex B. + +### General buffer format + +Figure 16 shows the general buffer format. + +Several entries can be concatenated in one buffer. Three types of buffers are used: Option, service primitive parameter, or address buffers. The value of an entry immediately follows the entry header with no padding or alignment characters in between. The header consists of three members: *len*, *name*, and *status*. + +The *len* field gives the total length of the entry. This comprises the entry header and the entry value. + +The *name* field identifies the entry. + +The *status* field is used to indicate success or failure of an option negotiation (see function *x\_optmgmt*); is it not used for service primitive parameter and address buffers. + +![Diagram of the general buffer format showing two concatenated entries. Each entry has a header with len, name, and status, followed by a value field. The first entry is followed by alignment characters. The second entry is followed by an ellipsis indicating further entries.](f10dc32e3673e1392029a49e958a9d6c_img.jpg) + +| first entry | | | | | second entry | | | | | | +|-------------|------|--------|-------|-------------------------|--------------|------|--------|-------|-----|--| +| len | name | status | value | alignment

Each entry has a header with len, name, and status, followed by a value field. The first entry is followed by alignment characters. The second entry is followed by an ellipsis indicating further entries. + +T0827210-97 + +**Figure 16/T.180 – General buffer format** + +For reading and writing buffer entries, the functions *x\_b2c()*, *x\_b2l()*, *x\_c2b()*, and *x\_l2b()* are helpful. The reading functions *x\_b2c()* and *x\_b2l()* will return the *len*, *name*, *status*, and *value* of the entry and an index to the next entry. The writing functions *x\_c2b()* and *x\_l2b()* take *len*, *name*, and *value* as arguments, write them into the buffer and return an index to the next entry. + +### Protocol options + +The protocol options are introduced in XAPI as a flexible mechanism to exchange protocol information between the user and the service provider. It enables the user to express special wishes about the settings of some protocol parameters and it allows the service provider to pass information about the protocol parameters used to the user. Protocol options are used to control the general behaviour of a protocol module or to temporarily override some configuration parameters. Each option is specific for a certain protocol module. They must not be confounded with service primitive parameters. + +The XAPI function *x\_optmgmt()* is the only one that conveys options between the service user and the service provider. Except for the XAPI-level options described below, all options are passed transparently between provider and user. The XAPI is the carrier only. The options are interpreted, processed, managed, and stored by the provider. + +The service provider has a default value for each option it supports. These defaults are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. Hence, a user should only request options actually needed to perform the task and leave all others at their default value. + +Each option is characterized by several attributes. + +### Option attributes + +*Connection-related* options are intimately related to a particular connection in a connection-mode service. Connection-related options are usually negotiated between the two peer entities during connection setup. Therefore, some ancillary information is transferred from the calling entity to the called entity and back in most cases. The interpretation and further processing of this information is protocol-dependent. + +An option can have purely local relevance. *Local options* are negotiated solely between the service user and the local service provider. The remote entity is neither informed about the settings of local options nor influenced by these options. + +Options that are not connection-related do not contain information destined for the remote service user. Some can have only local relevance; others have external relevance as they influence the transmission of data. + +An option can either or not be an *absolute requirement*. This is explicitly defined for each option. An absolute requirement must not be diminished or changed by the service provider. In some cases an option is partly absolute. + +An option can be restricted to *read-only access* in some, or all, states of the service endpoint. + +The *scope* of an option defines the period of time during which the option is in effect. The lifetime of an option is the time the option has a value assigned and can be accessed by the user. The lifetime is restricted to the time the service provider is accessible through a service endpoint. After the return of *x\_open()*, all options are set to their default values. They will lose their values when the last endpoint accessing the service provider is closed. Do not confound the scope of an option with its lifetime. The scope is limited to the time the option is in effect. + +There are two classes of scope. Each option belongs to one and only one of these classes. The widest scope possible is called *permanent scope*. It comprises the whole lifetime of the option. The scope of connection-related options is the time the connection exists. Some connection-related options have an even smaller scope as they are restricted to the data transfer phase of the connection. They come out of scope when connection release is initiated, i.e. the service endpoint leaves the state *X\_CONNECTED*. Options retain their values while they are out of scope. The next time they come into scope, they will start with the old value, which may be different from the default value. + +### Option negotiation + +A service user can initiate an option negotiation with a call to *x\_optmgt()* with the NEGOTIATE flag set in the *flags* field of the input parameter *req*. + +The negotiation rules depend on whether an option is an absolute requirement or not. If the proposed option value is legal and an absolute requirement, the following two outcomes are possible: + +The negotiation succeeds and the option is set to the required value; *x\_optmgt()* successfully returns and reports SUCCESS in the *status* field of the option header. + +The negotiation is rejected if the option is supported but the proposed value cannot be accepted. *x\_optmgt()* will successfully return in this case, but report FAILURE in the *status* field of the option header. + +If the proposed option value is legal but not an absolute requirement: + +The negotiated value is of equal or less quality than the proposed value. *x\_optmgt()* will indicate this in the *status* field of the output option. SUCCESS indicates that the proposed value could be negotiated; PARTSUCCESS indicates that the proposed value was diminished. + +If the *name* field of the header is unknown to the protocol module selected by *level*, or if the option is not supported at all, the function *x\_optmgt()* succeeds, but reports NOTSUPPORT in the *status* field of this option on return. + +Not all options are independent from one another. A requested option might conflict with the value of another option. Therefore, options that depend on one another must not be negotiated independently, but have to be submitted all together in one *x\_optmgt()* call to avoid temporary inconsistencies or conflicts. Thus conflicts can be detected at negotiation time. If only one of two or more dependent options shall be set to a new value, all the dependent options have to be negotiated in one *x\_optmgt()* call, even if their values need not to be changed. If a conflict between dependent options is detected by the service provider, *x\_optmgt()* will successfully return, but report FAILURE in the *status* field of the concerned options. + +If the service user submits multiple options in one call and one option is not supported by the service provider, all other options within the buffer are not influenced by this and the legal options are negotiated as usual. + +A violation of access rights occurs when the user tries to negotiate an option which is restricted to read-only access. The function *x\_optmgt()* will return successfully in this case, but the option is not changed and READONLY is returned in the *status* field of this option. + +If the service user submits multiple options in one call and one of them causes a violation of access rights, all other options within the buffer are not influenced by this and the legal options are negotiated as usual. + +As *x\_optmgt()* handles options for one module only, multi-module conflicts cannot be detected at negotiation time. It is left for the user to avoid conflicts between options of different protocol modules. + +### XAPI-level options + +There is only one XAPI-level option: the trace option O\_TRACE. It switches on/off traces in XAPI functions and protocol modules. The *level* argument in the *x\_optmgt()* call selects the target module. The XAPI functions are selected with *level* XAPI\_LEVEL. For protocol modules, the protocol module identifier has to be used as *level*. + +The option value specifies the trace level which controls the amount of traces generated. + +The following trace levels are defined: + +- `OV_NOTRACE` switches all traces off (default value); +- `OV_BUFFTRACE` enables the buffer trace for received and sent PDUs; all trace messages are disabled; +- `OV_ERR` enables error trace messages and disables buffer traces; +- `OV_ERR_BUF` enables error trace messages plus buffer traces; +- `OV_WRN` enables error and warning trace messages; buffer traces are disabled; +- `OV_WRN_BUF` enables error and warning trace messages plus buffer traces; +- `OV_INF` enables error, warning, and information trace messages; buffer traces are disabled; +- `OV_INF_BUF` enables error, warning, and information trace messages plus buffer traces. + +Buffer traces and trace messages cannot be switched independently. A change in the `O_TRACE` option value always effects both categories. The combinations of the different levels of message traces and buffer traces may be calculated by the user with the bitwise-OR operator. + +### Option attributes + +The option `O_TRACE` + +- is an absolute requirement; +- is not connection related; +- has only local meaning; +- has permanent scope. + +The way to access the generated trace data depends on the base operating system. + +Note that the error messages generated by the service provider are not affected by the trace level. These error messages are generated whenever an error condition is detected. Usually, they will be written to a system-specific error log file. + +## 9.1 Conventions + +The description of the XAPI functions, their parameters and fields is independent of hardware and operating systems. + +For each XAPI function, a list of parameters is specified. + +The meaning of the functions and parameters is described for two types of providers: + +- point-to-point (abbreviation p-p); +- multipoint (mp) with the two types of endpoints being supported: the conference control (abbreviation mp-c) and the application endpoint (mp-a). + +If there is a different meaning for the function or parameters of the supported endpoints of the provider types, this is noticed. If there is only one description for a function or parameter, it is meaningful for all types of the supported endpoints. + +In a multipoint environment, all communication-related functions at application endpoints are only available if the conference control endpoint is in the active state. + +Different providers may cause the specification of provider-specific parameters and/or sets of values for these parameters. + +For each specific provider, a separate part of Appendix I describes the XAPI functions, their parameters, and values. + +The description of the XAPI functions in the following subclauses is in an alphabetical order. + +## 9.2 Communication-related functions + +For each XAPI function, the relation between the function and the accessory service primitive is defined. Afterwards, a description of the parameters of the XAPI function is given. + +### 9.2.1 X-CONCONF/x\_conconf + +**Description:** This primitive enables the XAPI user to determine the status of a previously sent connect request and is used in conjunction with X-CONREQ. In the case of a positive connect confirm, the service endpoint changes to state "Connected".

On successful completion the service endpoint is activated and changes to state "Idle". The service provider may now begin to enqueue incoming connect indications, or the application may start an active connection establishment. If the service provider, which is accessed through the endpoint identified by *fd*, comprises an application system only, a transport system has to be linked below this application system in order to complete the protocol stack. This first step can be omitted if the service provider's protocol stack is already complete; this means that it comprises a built-in transport system. + +**Name:** x\_bind(*fd*, *trans\_name*, *req*, *ret*, *info*, *xerror*) + +**Parameters:** + +*fd*: Identification of the service endpoint + +*trans\_name*: specifies the name of the transport system + +*req*: Identification of the name of the protocol-specific service primitive + +- *own\_address*: contains the own protocol address +- *qlen*: the number of incoming calls that may be queued by the service provider for this endpoint + +*ret*: Identification of the name of the protocol-specific service primitive + +- *own\_address*: contains the protocol address which has been bound to the service endpoint +- *qlen*: negotiation of the number of incoming calls that may be queued by the service provider for this endpoint + +*info*: contains the characteristics of the service provider + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: indicates successful completion or failure + +##### 9.3.1.2 x\_close + +Description: Informs the service provider that the user is finished with the service endpoint identified by *fd*, and frees any local XAPI library resources associated with the endpoint. In addition, *x\_close()* closes the file descriptor associated with the service endpoint. The function *x\_close()* should be called from the "Unbnd" state. However, this function does not check state information, so it may be called from any state to close a service endpoint. If this occurs, the local library resources associated with the endpoint will be freed automatically, and the operating system specific call for closing files, e.g. *close()*, will be issued for that file descriptor. This will break any connection that may be associated with the service endpoint. An *x\_close()* issued on a service endpoint engaged in data transfer may cause data previously sent, or data not yet received, to be lost. It is not recommended to simply close a file descriptor identifying an XAPI service endpoint with the operating system-specific function call. Instead, the *x\_close()* function should always be used to close a service endpoint. This enables the XAPI library to free the local resources allocated for this endpoint. + +Name: x\_close(*fd*, *xerror*) + +Parameters: + +*fd*: Identification of the service endpoint + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: indicates successful completion or failure + +##### 9.3.1.3 x\_open + +Description: This function must be called as the first step to create a local service endpoint.

On completion of *x\_unbind()*, no further data or events destined for this service endpoint will be accepted by the service provider. If the service provider accessed through the endpoint has a dynamically linked transport system below its application system, the transport system is unlinked from the application system. Built-in transport systems are not affected by *x\_unbind()*. In both cases, the protocol address that has been associated with the endpoint on *x\_bind()* is removed from the service endpoint. If this was a passive endpoint (one with a value of *qlen* greater than zero) the protocol address is now free again and may be used to activate another passive endpoint. The deactivated service endpoint can be reactivated by a subsequent call to *x\_bind()*. + +Name: x\_unbind(*fd*, *xerror*) + +Parameters: + +*fd*: Identification of the service endpoint + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: indicates successful completion or failure + +#### 9.3.2 Utility functions + +#### 9.3.2.1 x\_b2c + +Description: Selects a value of type character string out of a buffer. + +Use this function to read options, service primitive parameters, and address buffers. + +Name: x\_b2c(*nb*, *index*, *len*, *name*, *status*, *xerror*) + +Parameters: + +*nb*: identifies a buffer + +*index*: next entry in the chosen buffer + +*len*: length of the entry value + +*name*: name of the entry + +*status*: indicates success or failure of an option negotiation; unused for address and parameter buffers + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: a value of type character string or indication of failure + +#### 9.3.2.2 x\_b2l + +Description: Selects a value of type long out of a buffer. + +Use this function to read option, service primitive parameter, and address buffers. + +Name: x\_b2l(*nb*, *index*, *len*, *name*, *status*, *xerror*) + +Parameters: + +*nb*: identifies a buffer + +*index*: next entry in the chosen buffer + +*len*: length of the entry value + +*name*: name of the entry + +*status*: indicates success or failure of an option negotiation; unused for address and parameter buffers + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: a value of type long or indication of failure + +#### 9.3.2.3 x\_c2b + +Description: Writes a value of type character string into a buffer. +Use this function to write option, service primitive parameter, and address buffers. + +Name: x\_c2b(nb, index, len, name, value, xerror) + +Parameters: + +*nb*: identifies a buffer + +*index*: next entry in the chosen buffer + +*len*: length of the entry value + +*name*: name of the entry + +*value*: value of the entry + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: indicates successful completion or failure + +#### 9.3.2.4 x\_chexmod + +Description: Changes the execution mode for the service endpoint identified by *fd*.

This is the same information as returned by *x\_open()* and *x\_bind()*, although not necessarily precisely the same values as some of them might have been changed in a peer-to-peer negotiation during connection establishment.

It can be used to negotiate non-connection-related options or preset connection-related options for future connections. The function can process and return all options related to the specified service endpoint. The function may be called in all states of the endpoint except X\_UNINIT. + +A call of *x\_optmgt()* is an atomic operation, i.e. it always acts independent of the current execution mode and the caller is blocked until the return of *x\_optmgt()*. + +The protocol module which is the object of the *x\_optmgt()* call is denoted by the *level* parameter. To handle XAPI-level options, XAPI\_LEVEL has to be specified as *level*. + +The parameters *req* and *ret* both reference an option management structure which contains the members *options* and *flags*. + +On input, the *options* buffer of *req* contains the requested options and the *flags* specify the action that shall be taken with these options. On return, the result of the option management call is available in *ret*. What is returned in the *options* buffer of *ret* and in *flags* depends on the action which has been specified in *req*. The *flags* field of *req* must specify one of the following actions: NEGOTIATE, CHECK, DEFAULT, CURRENT. The *status* field in the header of each returned option is set to indicate the result of the action. The value is SUCCESS, PARTSUCCESS, READONLY, NOTSUPPORT, or FAILURE. The overall result of the action is returned in *ret->flags*. It contains the worst single result, whereby the rating is done according to the order (from worst to best) FAILURE, NOTSUPPORT, READONLY, PARTSUCCESS, SUCCESS. + +Name: x\_optmgt(fd, level, req, ret, xerror) + +Parameters: + +*fd*: identifies the service endpoint +*level*: a protocol module identifier that selects the target protocol module +*req*: contains the option specifications which shall be passed to the protocol module and the action to take with the options: +– *options* +– *flags* +*ret*: contains the result of the option management call: +– *options* +– *flags* +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: indicates successful completion or failure + +##### 9.3.2.10 `x_rcverror` + +Description: Is used to retrieve an error indication that has been generated by the service provider.

In doing so it can convert an uninitialized file descriptor (not obtained from an `x_open()` call) to an initialized service endpoint by updating and allocating the necessary library data structures. Usually they are allocated and initialized by `x_open()`. + +The function `x_sync()` also allows two cooperating processes which both access the same service endpoint, to synchronize their interaction with the service provider. It is important to remember that the service provider treats all users of a service endpoint as a single user. If multiple processes are using the same endpoint, they should coordinate their activities so as not to violate the state of the service endpoint. The function `x_sync()` returns the current state of the service endpoint to the caller, thereby enabling the user to verify the state before taking further action. This coordination is only valid among cooperating processes; it is possible that a process or an incoming event could change the endpoint's state **after** an `x_sync()` is issued. + +Name: `x_sync(fd, xerror)` + +Parameters: + +*fd*: identifies the service endpoint + +*xerror*: Error codes + +Return value: indicates the current state or failure + +# ANNEX A + +## Interface definition language description + +This annex provides additional information concerning the XAPI functions (see clause 9).

The first is the **XAPI error level**. Each function returns `-1` to indicate failure and `0` (zero) to indicate success. In case of failure, the integer output parameter *xerror* is set to one of the error codes defined below. The error code provides some more detailed information about the reason of failure. In case of success, *xerror* is set to `NOERROR`. + +The second level is the **operating system error level**. When an operating system service routine called by the application fails, the error is reported in an operating-system-dependent way. The XAPI functions use operating system calls, too, but these calls are hidden from the application. When an XAPI function fails due to an error in an operating system call, the error code reported by the system is mapped to the corresponding XAPI-level error code, which is returned to the user as described above. In some rare cases, if there is no XAPI error code corresponding to the system error, the XAPI function will return failure and indicate the special XAPI-level error code `ER_SYSERR`. The application may then access and check the operating system error code. For the meaning of the system error codes, refer to the operating system documentation. Note that the system error codes may (will) be different for the various base operating systems. This affects the portability of an application that checks system error codes. The XAPI-level error codes, conversely, are identical for all base operating systems. + +Two utility functions can be used to map XAPI-level error codes to short text error messages. Both utilities take the error code as argument; *x\_error* prints the corresponding error message to the standard error output *stderr*, while *x\_strerror* returns the corresponding error message character string. For system level errors there may be similar functions available among the operating system services. + +As result of a severe error, a major protocol error, for example, or some local resource problems, a service endpoint and the corresponding file descriptor may be unusable for all XAPI and system calls except *x\_close*. To continue in this case, all users of the *fd* must close it, i.e. call *x\_close*. Then a new service endpoint may be created and initialized to continue with communication. + +The third level is the **service provider error level**. A service provider may generate an asynchronous event ERROR whenever the application program shall be informed about an error condition. This could be + +- the reception of an incorrect or incomplete service primitive from the local application; or +- a request that is not allowed in the current protocol-specific state of the service provider. + +The reception of an erroneous or out-of-order PDU from the peer entity is not indicated to the local application but handled by the service provider in a protocol-specific way. + +The ERROR event is indicated to the application as are all other asynchronous events and has to be received from the service endpoint with the consuming function *x\_rcverror*. On return, this function yields a service-specific error code and possibly further information about the error as output. The concrete error conditions and the corresponding error codes are defined in the service descriptions. + +Error codes at the service provider error level are listed in the appropriate providers (see I.1 to I.7). All other error codes that may be returned by the XAPI functions are listed below. + +For each error code a short explanation of the possible reason is given. The error codes are sorted in ascending numerical order. + +| | | | +|--------------|------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| NOERROR | 8001 | No error occurred; all in perfect order. This "error code" is returned in xerror if the function successfully completed. | +| ER_BADFD | 8002 | The file descriptor fd passed as argument does not identify a service endpoint. Maybe fd was not obtained as result of an x_open() call. | +| ER_OUTSTATE | 8003 | The function was issued in the wrong state of the service endpoint. | +| ER_LOOK | 8004 | An asynchronous event has occurred on this service endpoint and requires immediate attention. Call x_look() , please. | +| ER_NODATA | 8005 | The XAPI consuming function was called in asynchronous mode, but the requested event and no other asynchronous event are currently available at the service endpoint. The function x_rcvdata() , for instance, looks for a DATA resp. EXDATA event; if none is present at the time of calling, this error code is returned in asynchronous mode. | +| ER_BADFLAG | 8010 | An invalid flag is specified in the flags field. This error is returned if either an unknown flag is specified or the flag is not allowed for this XAPI function. Note that for some flags it depends on the service provider capabilities whether a certain flag may be used with the function or not. Check the prov_capabilities field in the service provider information structure ( provinfo_struct ) which is returned as output of x_getinfo() . | +| ER_BADNEG | 8011 | The negative flag is not the same (set or cleared) as in the previous function calls. If multiple calls to x_conrsp() are used to respond to one connect indication, the value of the NEGATIVE flag must be the same in all of these calls. | +| ER_NOINFOBUF | 8012 | No buffer has been specified to keep the service provider information returned by x_getinfo() . | +| ER_BADNAME | 8013 | An invalid service provider identifier, or an invalid transport system identifier has been specified. | + +| | | | +|--------------|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ER_BADADDR | 8014 | The specified protocol address is in an incorrect format or contained illegal information. | +| ER_DATASIZE | 8015 | The amount of user data specified in the call exceeds the limits allowed by the service provider. Check the values specified in the service provider information structure ( provinfo_struct ) which is returned as output of x_getinfo() . | +| ER_NOADDR | 8016 | No own protocol address was specified in the x_bind() call and the service provider could not allocate one. | +| ER_ADDRBUSY | 8017 | There is already a service endpoint with qlen greater than 0 bound to the requested address. | +| ER_ACCESS | 8018 | The application does not have permission to use the specified address. | +| ER_NOSYCH | 8019 | The synchronous execution mode is not supported for this service endpoint. | +| ER_NOASYCH | 8020 | The asynchronous execution mode is not supported for this service endpoint. | +| ER_BADSEQ | 8021 | An invalid sequence number is specified in an x_conrsp() or x_snddis() call. If multiple calls to x_conrsp() are used to respond to one connect indication, the value of the sequence number must be the same in all of these calls. | +| ER_QUEUEFULL | 8022 | The maximum number of outstanding (unresponded) connect indications has been reached. The user has to accept or reject some of these connections before more connect indications can be received with x_conind() . | +| ER_BADQLEN | 8023 | At the time of activation, a queue length of zero has been specified for the endpoint referenced by fd . Thus, the endpoint must not be used with x_conind() calls to wait for incoming calls. | +| ER_WAITCONF | 8024 | The function x_conreq() was called in asynchronous mode and successfully initiated the connection establishment procedure, but did not wait for a response from the remote user. Now the local user has to arrange to wait for a connect confirmation, e.g. by calling x_conconf() in synchronous mode. | +| ER_MOREDATA | 8025 | The function x_conreq() was called in asynchronous mode with the MORE flag set. To complete the connect request, more user data is required; the local user has to make another x_conreq() call. | +| ER_INDOUST | 8026 | The function x_conrsp() was called with fd equal to resfd , but there are outstanding connection indications on the endpoint. They must be handled, either by rejecting or accepting them on a different endpoint, before the endpoint identified by fd may be used in a connection. | +| ER_PROVMISM | 8027 | The file descriptors fd and resfd specified in the x_conrsp() call do not refer to the same service provider. | +| ER_RESQLEN | 8028 | The function x_conrsp() was called with fd not equal to resfd , and the endpoint referenced by resfd has been bound with a qlen that is greater than 0. | + +| | | | +|--------------|------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ER_RESTRANS | 8029 | The function x_conrsp() was called with fd not equal to resfd , and the endpoint referenced by resfd has used a different transport system beneath the application system. | +| ER_BADACTN | 8030 | An invalid action is specified in the flags field as input of x_optmgmt() . | +| ER_BADOPT | 8031 | At least one of the options submitted in the x_optmgmt() call specifies an illegal value. | +| ER_BADLEVEL | 8032 | The value specified as level in an x_optmgmt() or x_sndsp() call does not select any protocol module of the service provider. The identifiers of the protocol modules in the service provider's protocol stack are available in the provinfo_struct which is returned as output of x_open() , x_bind() and x_getinfo() . | +| ER_NOERRBUFF | 8033 | No error_struct has been specified for the output of x_rcverror() . | +| ER_NODIS | 8034 | No disconnect indication currently exists at the specified service endpoint. | +| ER_FLOW | 8035 | The sending function is called in asynchronous mode and the flow control mechanism prevents the service provider from accepting the request at this time. | +| ER_NOTSUPP | 8036 | This function is not supported by the underlying service provider. | +| ER_STATECHNG | 8037 | The service endpoint is just undergoing a state change and therefore the function x_sync() could not determine the current state. | +| ER_SYSERR | 8041 | An operating system call returned an error during execution of this XAPI function. More information about the failure might be gathered in an operating-system-dependent way. | +| ER_INTR | 8042 | The execution of this XAPI function was interrupted by a signal. | +| ER_PROTO | 8043 | This error indicates that a communication problem has been detected between XAPI and the service provider for which there is no other suitable XAPI error code defined. | +| ER_NOPARAM | 8044 | This error code may be returned by the functions x_b2c() and x_b2l() if there is no parameter value found in the buffer. | +| ER_NOSND | 8045 | A sending function was called but no further sending is allowed because the connection is destroyed. The events already received from the service provider may be consumed by the corresponding consuming functions (e.g. x_rcvdis() ). | +| ER_ERROR | 8046 | An error indication has arrived. Call x_error() , please. | +| ER_LIMITS | 8048 | An system limit has been reached. When returned by x_open() , this indicates that the number of open file descriptors in the process or the system has been reached; when returned by a sending function, this indicates that a buffer was too long. | +| ER_CONFIG | 8049 | An error in accessing the service providers or transport systems configuration file has been detected. | + +| | | | +|-----------------|------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ER_BADMODE | 8050 | An invalid mode has been specified. | +| ER_TRANSLINK | 8051 | The function x_bind() failed to link the specified transport system below the service providers application system. This error is returned for two reasons:

The service provider has a built-in transport system which cannot be replaced by a dynamically linked transport system, or a system error occurred while dynamically linking the transport system. In this case more information about the reason of failure may be available on operating system level. | +| ER_NOEND | 8052 | The function x_rcvend() has been called, but no END event is available at the service endpoint. | +| ER_NOERROR | 8054 | The function x_rcverror() has been called, but no ERROR event is available at the service endpoint. | +| ER_NOCONREQ | 8055 | The function x_conreq() has been called on a passive service endpoint (i.e. when binding the endpoint with x_bind() the qlen field of bind_struct was greater than zero). Initiating a connection is only allowed on active service endpoints ( qlen = 0). | +| ER_REM_GENRPC | 8056 | A general Remote Procedure Call (RPC) failure has occurred in the remote XAPI. | +| ER_REM_RPC_PROC | 8057 | The remote procedure call failed. | +| ER_REM_CALLBACK | 8058 | The remote XAPI failed to set up the callback channel. | +| ER_REM_NOSERVER | 8059 | The server process of the remote XAPI is not started or is terminated. | + +# APPENDIX I + +## Examples of XAPI access to service providers + +The access to the service providers specified in this appendix serve as examples. They do not claim completeness (e.g. the access to a multipoint transport service provider may be specified). The list of specifications presented in this appendix may be extended if required. + +An application which requests access to a service has to select an appropriate service provider prior to the usage of the service.

It contains a row for each service element of the service (where service element means either request, indication, response, or confirmation) with its corresponding XAPI function and a short description. + +In the second kind of table the use of the service primitive parameters within the service elements are described. It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column, the succeeding columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +| | | +|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Blank | The service parameter is absent. | +| C | Presence of the service parameter is conditional. Firstly, there may be a condition in the service provider to provide a parameter in an indication or confirmation. Secondly, there may be interdependencies between parameters of the same or the preceding service primitive. | +| M | Presence of the service parameter is mandatory. | +| U | Presence of the service parameter is a user option. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is no default value for that parameter, nothing is passed to the service provider. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. | + +- (=) The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element. In the special case of a parameter, whose presence in the preceding service is a user option, for which a default value is defined, and the parameter was not specified in the preceding service element, the symbol (=) indicates that the parameter value is identical to the default value. + +The third kind of table is used to describe the service primitive parameter containing the type of value and its scope, possible default values and a detailed description. For each service primitive parameter, one description table is given. + +A **naming convention** is used throughout the XAPI in order to distinguish between the common functions, identifiers and values, and service specific identifiers and values. All service-specific settings of the XAPI ISDN B-channel service access are defined within the present part of this appendix and start with **X\_PHT\_** or **x\_pht\_**. + +Extended naming conventions: + +- SP\_ Service Primitive; +- P\_ Parameter; +- PV\_ Parameter Value; +- O\_ Option; +- OV\_ Option Value. + +### **I.1.6 Introduction to the ISDN physical service provider access** + +The ISDN B-channel service handles connection establishment, access to the B-channel for the data transfer and disconnection. + +The XAPI gives a uniform access method; it is hidden from the XAPI user whether the D-channel or the B-channel is the destination for a special service request. + +### **I.1.7 Description of the access to the ISDN physical service provider** + +#### **I.1.7.1 Service initialization** + +##### **I.1.7.1.1 Creation of an ISDN B-channel service access point with `x_open()`** + +A communication endpoint accessing the ISDN physical service provider is created when calling the `x_open()` function with the service provider identification string "**X\_PHT\_ISDN**". + +The service provider comprises the D-channel protocols and the B-channel protocol module on the physical layer. Of course, no transport system has to be linked below it with the `x_bind()` function, as the protocol stack is already complete. + +##### **I.1.7.1.2 Activation of an ISDN B-channel service access point with `x_bind()`** + +`x_bind()` is to be called to activate the ISDN B-channel service endpoint. The function has the task to bind an address to the service endpoint. + +No transport system has to be specified as argument of the `x_bind()` function, as the physical layer is the only layer which is needed in the B-channel. + +##### **I.1.7.1.3 Protocol addresses** + +The protocol address to be used is the NSAP address. Selectors are meaningless for the ISDN B-channel service. + +###### I.1.7.1.3.1 The Application's own Address + +The own address may be specified in the *own\_address* buffer of the *bind\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_bind()* function. For a passive application, it is returned in the *called\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +For a passive application, it is not supported to specify the own responding NSAP address in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* in the *x\_conrsp()* function, as this value is not transferred by the network. + +NOTE – The specification of the application's own protocol address is completely optional. If no address information is specified, the own address is derived from system configuration information and the bound value is returned as output parameter of the *x\_bind()* function. + +The own address consists of the NSAP address only. The NSAP address has to comprise the local ISDN outband address, i.e. the address information used in the D-channel. The own ISDN inband address and subaddress parameters as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless in the ISDN B-channel service. If specified, they will be ignored. + +Table I.1-1 shows the address component which has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* call. + +**Table I.1-1/T.180 – Address component specified in the *x\_bind()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | A decimal digit, which is locally mapped on the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +###### I.1.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner + +On the sending side, the address of the communication partner has to be specified in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_conreq()* function. On the receiving side, the address of the communication partner is returned in the *calling\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +The address of the communication partner comprises at least the peer's ISDN outband address. The peer's ISDN inband address and subaddress as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless, as there is a data transfer in the B-channel without further protocols. + +Table I.1-2 shows the address component to be used in the *address* buffer specifying the called NSAP address in an *x\_conreq()* call. + +**Table I.1-2/T.180 – Address component specifying the called NSAP address in an *x\_conreq()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | Optional the country code, optional the area code and the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +##### I.1.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider + +The protocol module of the service provider behaves according to configured protocol options. Protocol options are used to control the general behaviour of a protocol module (they must not be confounded with service primitive parameters). The preconfigured values of the protocol options are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. + +Currently, there are no options for the protocol modules of the access to the ISDN B-channel, which could be set by the XAPI function *x\_optmgmt()*. + +#### **I.1.7.2 Connection Establishment service** + +##### **I.1.7.2.1 Service description** + +During the connection establishment phase, two users of the same service establish a connection between them. The XAPI user must already have prepared a service endpoint before the connection establishment phase can start. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for Connection Establishment are described in Table I.1-3. + +**Table I.1-3/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Connection Establishment** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|------------------------|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Connect Request | x_conreq() | The Connect Request is passed to the provider to request the establishment of a connection. | +| Connect Indication | x_conind() | The Connect Indication is generated by the provider to indicate the request from a remote terminal to establish a connection. | +| Connect Response | x_conrsp() | The Connect Response is passed to the provider as reaction to a previously received connect indication as positive or negative response. | +| Connect Confirmation | x_conconf() | The Connect Confirmation is generated by the provider as positive or negative confirmation of a local establishment. | + +##### **I.1.7.2.2 Service parameters** + +There are no service parameters to be specified during connection establishment. + +#### **I.1.7.3 Services in the connected state** + +##### **I.1.7.3.1 Data Transfer service** + +###### **I.1.7.3.1.1 Service description** + +The Data Transfer service can be used to transfer transparent data in the B-channel. + +Flow control, i.e. the ability to read received data fast enough during the data transfer, is up to the XAPI user.

It contains a row for each service element of the service (where service element means either request, indication, response, or confirmation) with its corresponding XAPI function and a short description. + +In the second table, the use of the service primitive parameters within the service elements are described. It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column; the following columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +Blank The service parameter is absent. + +C Presence of the service parameter is conditional. Firstly, there may be a condition in the service provider to provide a parameter in an indication or confirmation. Secondly, there may be interdependencies between parameters of the same or the preceding service primitive. + +M Presence of the service parameter is mandatory. + +U Presence of the service parameter is a user option. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is no default value for that parameter, nothing is passed to the service provider. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. + +(=) The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element. In the special case of a parameter, whose presence in the preceding service is a user option, for which a default value is defined, and the parameter was not specified in the preceding service element, the symbol (=) indicates that the parameter value is identical to the default value. + +The third kind of table is used to describe the service primitive parameter containing the type of value and its scope, possible default values and a detailed description. For each service primitive parameter, one description table is given. + +A **naming convention** is used throughout the XAPI in order to distinguish between the common functions, identifiers and values, and service specific identifiers and values. All service-specific settings of the XAPI BFT(T.30) service access are defined within the present part of this appendix and start with **X\_BF3\_** or **x\_bf3\_**. + +Extended naming conventions: + +- SP\_ Service Primitive; +- P\_ Parameter; +- PV\_ Parameter Value; + +- O\_ Option; +- OV\_ Option Value. + +### **I.2.6 Introduction to the BFT(T.30) provider access** + +The BFT(T.30) service is provided by a T.30 adaption module, which transmits BFT [T.434] encoded files according to Recommendation [T.30]. + +It gives the means of synchronized Binary File Transfer between cooperating Telematic applications: An application can: + +- establish a connection with another BFT user; +- exchange binary files in a synchronized manner; and +- release a connection. + +There are no restrictions which are made for implementation. + +This implementation expects data encoded according to Binary File Transfer format [T.434] in each *x\_snddata()* and delivers with each *x\_rcvdata()* encoded data in the same format. + +### **I.2.7 Description of the access to the BFT(T.30) provider** + +#### **I.2.7.1 Service initialization** + +##### **I.2.7.1.1 Creation of a BFT(T.30) Service Access Point with *x\_open()*** + +A communication endpoint accessing the BFT(T.30) service provider is created when calling the *x\_open()* function with the service provider identification string "X\_BFT\_T.30\_ISDN". + +The service provider comprises the D-channel protocols and the B-channel protocol module (T.30 adaptation) on the physical layer. Of course, no transport system has to be linked below it with the *x\_bind()* function, as the protocol stack is already complete. + +##### **I.2.7.1.2 Activation of BFT(T.30) Service Access Point with *x\_bind()*** + +*x\_bind()* is to be called to activate the BFT(T.30) service endpoint. The function has the task to bind an address to the service endpoint. + +No transport system has to be specified as argument of the *x\_bind()* function, as the T.30 adaptation layer is the only layer which is needed in the B-channel. + +##### **I.2.7.1.3 Protocol addresses** + +The protocol address to be used is the NSAP address. Selectors are meaningless for the BFT(T.30) service. + +###### **I.2.7.1.3.1 The Application's own Address** + +The own address may be specified in the *own\_address* buffer of the *bind\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_bind()* function. It is returned in the *called\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +For a passive application it is not supported to specify the own responding NSAP address in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* in the *x\_conrsp()* function, as this value is not transferred by the network. + +NOTE – The specification of the application's own protocol address is completely optional. If no address information is specified, the own address is derived from system configuration information and the bound value is returned as output parameter of the *x\_bind()* function. + +The own address consists of the NSAP address only. The NSAP address has to comprise the local ISDN outband address, i.e. the address information used in the D-channel. The own ISDN inband address and subaddress parameters as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless in the BFT(T.30) service. If specified, they will be ignored. + +Table I.2-1 shows the address component which has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* call. + +**Table I.2-1/T.180 – Address component specified in the *x\_bind()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | A decimal digit, which is locally mapped on the MSN (multiple subscriber number) | + +###### **I.2.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner** + +On the sending side the address of the communication partner has to be specified in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_conreq()* function. On the receiving side the address of the communication partner is returned in the *calling\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +The address of the communication partner comprises at least the peer's ISDN outband address. The peer's ISDN inband address and subaddress as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless, as there is a transparent data transfer in the B-channel without further protocols. + +Table I.2-2 shows the address component to be used in the *address* buffer specifying the called NSAP address in an *x\_conreq()* call. + +**Table I.2-2/T.180 – Address component specifying the called NSAP address in an *x\_conreq()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | Optional the country code, optional the area code, and the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +##### **I.2.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider** + +The protocol module of the service provider behaves according to configured protocol options. Protocol options are used to control the general behaviour of a protocol module (they must not be confounded with service primitive parameters). The preconfigured values of the protocol options are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. + +Currently, there are no options for the protocol modules of the BFT(T.30) service provider which could be set by the XAPI function *x\_optmgmt()*. + +#### **I.2.7.2 Connection Establishment service** + +##### **I.2.7.2.1 Service description** + +During connection establishment phase two users of the same service establish a connection between each other. Both users must have already prepared an active service endpoint before they can enter the connection establishment phase. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for BFT(T.30) Connection Establishment are described in Table I.2-3. + +**Table I.2-3/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions +for Connection Establishment** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|----------------------|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Connect Request | x_conreq() | The Connect Request service is passed to the provider to request the establishment of a BFT(T.30) connection. | +| Connect Indication | x_conind() | The Connect Indication service is generated by the provider to indicate the request from a remote terminal to establish a BFT(T.30) connection. | +| Connect Response | x_conrsp() | The Connect Response service is passed to the provider as reaction to a previously received connect indication as positive or negative response. | +| Connect Confirmation | x_conconf() | The Connect Confirmation service is generated by the provider as positive or negative confirmation of a local BFT(T.30) establishment. | + +##### **I.2.7.2.2 Service parameters** + +There are no service parameters defined for the Connection Establishment service. + +#### **I.2.7.3 Services in the connected state** + +The T.30 adaption layer for BFT provides several services in the connected state. While the service endpoint used to access the provider is in state X\_CONNECTED these service primitives can be passed to the provider *rsp.* retrieved from the provider with calls of *x\_snddata()* and *x\_sndsp()* *rsp.* *x\_rcvdata()* and *x\_rcvsp()*. + +The data transfer works in a so called TWA (Two-Way Alternate) mode.

It contains a row for each service element of the service (where service element means either request, indication, response, or confirmation) with its corresponding XAPI function and a short description. + +In the second kind of table the use of the service primitive parameters within the service elements are described. It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column; the following columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +| | | +|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Blank | The service parameter is absent. | +| C | Presence of the service parameter is conditional. Firstly, there may be a condition in the service provider to provide a parameter in an indication or confirmation. Secondly, there may be interdependencies between parameters of the same or the preceding service primitive. | +| M | Presence of the service parameter is mandatory. | +| U | Presence of the service parameter is a user option.

If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. | + +- (=) The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element. In the special case of a parameter, whose presence in the preceding service is a user option, for which a default value is defined, and the parameter was not specified in the preceding service element, the symbol (=) indicates that the parameter value is identical to the default value. + +The third kind of table is used to describe the service primitive parameter containing the type of value and its scope, possible default values and a detailed description. For each service primitive parameter, one description table is given. + +A **naming convention** is used throughout the XAPI in order to distinguish between the common functions, identifiers and values and service-specific identifiers and values. All service-specific settings of the XAPI FAX4/BFT service access are defined within the present part of this appendix and start with **X\_FX4\_** or **x\_fx4\_**. + +Extended naming conventions: + +- SP\_ Service Primitive; +- P\_ Parameter; +- PV\_ Parameter Value; +- O\_ Option; +- OV\_ Option Value. + +### **I.3.6 Introduction to the FAX4/BFT service provider access** + +The FAX4/BFT service is provided by the combination of a transport system selected by the application and the FAX4/BFT protocol module. The FAX4/BFT protocol module is implemented according to the Recommendations [T.503], [T.563], [T.434] and [T.571] and resides on top of [T.62]. + +It gives the means of synchronized FAX4/Binary File Transfer between cooperating Telematic applications: An application can: + +- establish a connection with another FAX4/BFT user; +- exchange facsimile/binary files in a synchronized manner; and +- release connection in an orderly manner. + +Each protocol element is directly mapped to the corresponding session protocol element of T.62. The only restriction is that resuming of interrupted documents is currently not accessible to the user of the FAX4/BFT service. + +The implementation expects T.6 coded Data in case of Facsimile Group 4 and in case of BFT any binary data in each *x\_snddata()* call. All ASN.1 coding is done within the service provider. The checkpointing (page boundary) must be initiated by the service user. In case of BFT a checkpoint should be inserted every 2 kilo-octets (according to Recommendation T.571) but other values may be used to improve transmission speed. + +### **I.3.7 Description of the access to the FAX4/BFT service provider** + +#### **I.3.7.1 Service initialization** + +##### **I.3.7.1.1 Selection of the FAX4/BFT service provider with *x\_open()*** + +A communication endpoint accessing the FAX4/BFT service provider is created when calling the *x\_open()* function with an appropriate service provider identification string. The available identifiers + +depend on the actual system configuration. In the standard configuration, "X\_FAX4\_BFT\_ISDN" identifies the service provider which comprises the FAX4/BFT and T.62 session protocol modules as well as a transport system based on the ISDN network. On the protocol levels two to four, there are implementations of HDLC LAP B: ISO/IEC 8208 and Recommendation T.70. + +If this service provider is selected, it is not necessary to link a transport system below it (using the *x\_bind()* function) as the protocol stack is already complete. + +##### I.3.7.1.2 Selection of the underlying transport system with *x\_bind()* + +*x\_bind()* is to be called to activate the FAX4/BFT service endpoint. The function has the following tasks: + +- if the service provider, which has been selected with *x\_open()*, does not comprise a transport system, link a transport system below the available protocol modules; +- bind an address to the service endpoint. + +If the service provider X\_FAX4\_BFT\_ISDN has been selected in the *x\_open()* function, no transport system has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* function. + +The list of all service providers and transport systems available in the standard configuration (and the protocol modules they comprise) is contained in Annex B. + +##### I.3.7.1.3 Protocol addresses + +The reader should be familiar with those general concepts and the terminology, as the present part of this appendix relies on the explanations given there and just informs about the service specifics. + +The protocol address to be used for the BFT/FAX4 service is the NSAP address. Selectors are meaningless for the FAX4/BFT service. + +###### I.3.7.1.3.1 The application's own address + +The own address may be specified in the *own\_address* buffer of the *bind\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_bind()* function. For a passive application it is returned in the *called\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +For a passive application it is not supported to specify the own responding NSAP address in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* in the *x\_conrsp()* function, as this value is not transferred by the network. + +Note that specification of the application's own protocol address is completely optional. If no address information is specified, the own address is derived from system configuration information and the bound value is returned as output parameter of the *x\_bind()* function. + +The own address consists of the NSAP address only. The NSAP address has to comprise the local ISDN outband address, i.e. the address information used in the D-channel. The own ISDN inband address and subaddress parameters as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless in the FAX4/BFT service. If specified, they will be ignored. + +Table I.3-1 shows the address component which has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* call. + +**Table I.3-1/T.180 – Address component specified in the *x\_bind()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | A decimal digit, which is locally mapped on the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +###### I.3.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner + +On the sending side, the address of the communication partner has to be specified in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_conreq()* function. On the receiving side, the address of the communication partner is returned in the *calling\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +The address of the communication partner comprises at least the peer's ISDN outband address. The peer's ISDN inband address and subaddress as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless for the BFT/FAX4 service. + +Table I.3-2 shows the address component to be used in the *address* buffer specifying the called NSAP address in an *x\_conreq()* call. + +**Table I.3-2/T.180 – Address component specifying the called NSAP address +in an *x\_conreq()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | Optional the country code, optional the area code and the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +##### I.3.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider + +The protocol modules of the service provider behave according to configured protocol options. Protocol options are used to control the general behaviour of a protocol module (they must not be confounded with service primitive parameters). The preconfigured values of the protocol options are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. + +Currently, there are no options for the protocol modules of the FAX4/BFT service provider, which could be set by the XAPI function *x\_optmngmt()*. + +#### I.3.7.2 Connection Establishment service + +##### I.3.7.2.1 Service description + +During the connection establishment phase, two users of the same service establish a connection between each other.

| | | + +#### I.3.7.3 Services in the connected state + +The FAX4/BFT protocol module provides several services in the connected state. While the service endpoint used to access the provider is in state X\_CONNECTED these service primitives can be passed to the provider resp. retrieved from the provider with calls of *x\_snddata()*, *x\_sndsp()* resp. *x\_rcvdata()*, *x\_rcvsp()*. + +The data transfer works in a so called TWA (Two-Way Alternate) mode. This means the initiator and responder act in a sink/source relationship, in which only one of them may send data at a time. The responder may signal in some responses [*x\_conrsp()*, X\_FX4\_SP\_EOP\_P, X\_FX4\_SP\_EOD\_P] a request control to indicate that the responder has information to transmit.

The service user may now receive Data with the function *x\_rcvdata()*. If an X\_FX4\_SP\_RSYN\_I was received, the automaton enters the state 20. + +state 22 This state is entered when an X\_FX4\_SP\_EOP\_I was received, which indicates the end of the current page (checkpoint). The service user has now to confirm this page by sending an X\_FX4\_SP\_EOP\_P. + +state 23 This state is entered when an X\_FX4\_SP\_EOD\_I was received, which indicates the successfully transmission of the whole document. The service user has now to confirm the end of the document with X\_FX4\_SP\_EOD\_P. + +The user may ask for the transmission token (please token request), by setting the parameter X\_FX4\_P\_PLEASE\_TOKEN equal PV\_TRUE in the service primitives *x\_conrsp()*, X\_FX4\_SP\_EOP\_P or X\_FX4\_SP\_EOD\_P. The active side may then hand over the transmission token by issuing the service primitive X\_FX4\_SP\_GIVE\_TOKEN\_Q. + +![State transition diagram for data transfer states in passive mode.

It shows a vertical hierarchy of components connected by bidirectional arrows. At the top is the 'Application' box. Below it is the 'XAPI' box, which is shaded gray. The 'XAPI' box connects to two parallel boxes: 'X.227 protocol module' on the left and 'X.229 protocol module' on the right. Both of these connect to a single 'X.226 protocol module' box. This then connects to an 'X.225 protocol module' box, which finally connects to the bottom-most box, 'transport system comprising layers 1-4'.

It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column, the following columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +| | | +|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Blank | The service parameter is absent. | +| C | Presence of the service parameter is conditional.

If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is no default value for that parameter, nothing is passed to the service provider. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. | +| (=) | The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element.

The ROSE protocol module is implemented according to the requirements of [X.229] and the service which is provided follows the pattern of [X.219]. The ACSE protocol module is implemented according to the requirements of [X.227] and the service which is provided follows the pattern of [X.217]. + +It provides basic facilities for the control of an application-association between two application-entities which communicate by means of a presentation-connection, e.g. + +- establish an association with another ACSE user; +- normal release of an association with another ACSE user; and +- abnormal release of an association with another ACSE user. + +It provides the means of interactive applications between cooperating ACSE/ROSE users. An application can: + +- invoke operations by one ACSE/ROSE user and perform operations by another ACSE/ROSE user; + +- support synchronous and asynchronous operations; +- group operations into a set of linked operations; +- perform the control of the application association by ACSE. + +The referenced Remote Operation notation (RO-notation) allows an Application Service Element (ASE) to be defined for the support of a particular application or group of applications. This ASE consists of a BIND operation (establishes an association), one or more operations to implement an interactive protocol, and an UNBIND operation (releases the association). The BIND and UNBIND operations are implemented using the services provided by ACSE while the other operations are implemented using the ROSE services. Therefore, the service provider gives access to the services of the ROSE plus those of the ACSE service. + +#### **I.4.6.1 Restrictions to Recommendations X.227 and X.229** + +The ACSE service supports two modes of operation, i.e. the normal mode and the X.410-1984 mode. At the XAPI, only the normal mode is accessible, which allows the ACSE user to take full advantage of the functionality provided by both ACSE and the presentation service. + +Functional units are used for the purpose of identification of Presentation service user requirements and are negotiated during connection establishment. + +Two categories of functional units are supported by the service provider: + +- a) Session functional units, comprising: + - Kernel; + - Duplex; + - Half-duplex; + - Minor synchronize; + - Exception; + - Capability data; + - Activity management. +- b) Presentation functional units, comprising: + - Kernel. + +The Presentation Context Definition List is also negotiated during connection establishment. To each abstract syntax a transfer syntax is assigned, which is used for encoding and decoding the user data during the lifetime of the connection. The possibility to negotiate a default context, as it is provided by the ACSE Recommendation, is not supposed. Therefore, the negotiation of the Presentation Context Definition List is mandatory during connection establishment. The negotiation is described in the next subclause. + +#### **I.4.6.2 Service-specific features** + +Due to the goal of a modular and object-oriented design of the protocol modules, special attention to the encoding/decoding mechanism of the user data is required. + +The idea is, that each protocol itself encodes/decodes its PDUs to make the Presentation layer independent of the layers above with their abstract syntax and transfer syntaxes. As a consequence (and extending the standardized service interface), the application does not only provide the context identifier and abstract syntax for each presentation context (i.e. each protocol module above presentation) but also the (list of) transfer syntaxes supported by each protocol module. + +This has the following consequences for the ACSE-user: + +##### – *Negotiation of the presentation context definition list* + +During connection establishment, a presentation context definition list is negotiated by the ACSE-user communication partners. It consists of a list of triples, one for each abstract syntax, which is proposed by the association initiator and accepted (or not accepted) by the association responder. Each triple consists of an odd integer identifying the triple, the abstract syntax and the (list of) supported transfer syntaxes. The odd integer identifying the triple is called presentation context identifier. After negotiation, only the presentation context identifier is used to identify an abstract syntax and the corresponding transfer syntax. + +NOTE – It must be ensured that the transfer syntaxes proposed in the presentation context definition list match the supported transfer syntaxes of the protocol modules of the service provider. + +##### – *Encoding and decoding of the user data* + +ACSE user data are treated as transparent data by the ACSE protocol module. If there is any special format to be used for the ACSE user data, it is up to the application to generate and interpret that format. The application is required to encode/decode the ACSE user data passed/received to/from XAPI in the *user\_data* parameter of *call\_struct*, *release\_struct* or *discon\_struct*. The data in the user data must be encoded as a data stream comprising a list of one or more non-concatenated ASN.1 EXTERNAL types. The following rules apply to the components of the EXTERNAL type: + +- If presentation context negotiation has been completed, the presentation context identifier also identifies the encoding rules (transfer syntax) for the data value and the "direct-reference OBJECT IDENTIFIER" shall not be included; +- If presentation context negotiation is not complete, an object identifier value is also needed which identifies the encoding rules (transfer syntax) used for the encoding. + +ROSE defines five different Operation Classes which classify operations according to two possible operation modes (synchronous and asynchronous). The Association Class defines which ROSE user is allowed to invoke operations. The Operation Class and Association Class have to be agreed between ROSE users. It is not part of the ACSE/ROSE provider to negotiate these features. OSI Applications making use of ROSE (e.g. DTAM, DFR, MHS) define which Operation Class and Association Class are allowed within a specific application. + +Due to the fact that there is no negotiation of Operation and Association Class within the ACSE/ROSE provider, the parameters Invoke-Id (to identify an operation and to correlate the request of an invocation with its replies) and Linked-Id (in the case of a child operation to identify the parent operation) can not be examined by ACSE/ROSE. In particular, it is not controlled if an invocation exists for an incoming reply, i.e. result, error or rejection, or if the specified parent operation exists for the invocation of a child operation. + +ACSE/ROSE does not define a distinct abstract syntax for the encoding of its PDUs. Instead, it provides a set of abstract syntax definitions that are used by the application making use of ACSE/ROSE. Therefore, the service user must inform the service provider which abstract syntaxes are used within the ROSE PDUs. To support this feature, each ROSE service primitive must be provided with a service primitive parameter (X\_ROS\_P\_CTXT\_ID) that indicates the abstract syntax of the application. + +##### **BIND and UNBIND encoding** + +At the XAPI, the ACSE/ROSE BIND/UNBIND operations are implemented using the primitives of the ACSE services A\_ASSOCIATE and A\_RELEASE. + +##### Application data encoding + +The *argument*, *result*, or *parameter* components of ROSE APDUs are treated as transparent data by the ROSE protocol module. It is under the responsibility of the XAPI user to encode and decode the application data. + +### I.4.7 Description of the access to the ACSE/ROSE provider + +#### I.4.7.1 Service initialization + +##### I.4.7.1.1 Creation of a service access point with *x\_open()* + +A communication endpoint accessing the ACSE and ROSE protocol modules is created when calling the *x\_open()* function with an appropriate service provider identification string. A communication endpoint accessing the ROSE protocol module is always created together. The available identifiers depend on the actual system configuration. In the standard configuration "**X\_ACSE\_ROSE\_ISDN**" identifies the ISO ACSE/ROSE service provider with access to the ROSE and ACSE services. In this case the application system comprises the ISO Session, Presentation, ACSE and ROSE protocol modules; the transport system comprises ISO Transport Class 0, ISO 8208, HDLC LAP B and I.430/I.431. + +##### I.4.7.1.2 Activation of a service access point with *x\_bind()* + +*x\_bind()* is to be called to activate the service endpoint. The function has the following tasks: + +- if the service provider, which has been selected with *x\_open()*, does not comprise a transport system, link a transport system below the available protocol modules; +- bind an address to the service endpoint. + +In the standard configuration, if "**X\_ACSE\_ROSE\_ISDN**" was selected in the *x\_open()* function, no transport system has to be specified as argument of the *x\_bind()* function as the service provider's protocol stack is already complete. + +##### I.4.7.1.3 Protocol addresses + +The address to be used to identify the peer entity is the tuple of +(PSEL, SSEL, TSEL, NSAP Address), + +where the selectors are optional depending on the peer's requirements. + +The XAPI service provider itself does not support selectors as address information on the local side; the own address consists of the NSAP address only. + +###### I.4.7.1.3.1 The application's own address + +The own address (only NSAP is supported as explained above) may be specified in the *own\_address* buffer of the *bind\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_bind()* function. For a passive application, it is returned in the *called\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +For a passive application it is not supported to specify the own responding NSAP address in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* in the *x\_conrsp()* function, as this value is not transferred by the network. + +Note that specification of the application's own protocol address is completely optional. If no address information is specified, the own address is derived from system configuration information and the value actually bound is returned as output parameter of the *x\_bind()* function. + +The own address consists of the NSAP address only. The NSAP address has to comprise the local ISDN outband address, i.e. the address information used in the D-channel. The own ISDN inband address and subaddress parameters as well as the protocol selectors are not supported. If specified, they will be ignored. + +Table I.4-1 shows the address component which has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* call. + +**Table I.4-1/T.180 – Address component specified in the *x\_bind()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | A decimal digit, which is locally mapped on the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +###### I.4.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner + +On the sending side, the address of the communication partner has to be specified in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_conreq()* function. On the receiving side, the address of the communication partner is returned in the *calling\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +The address of the communication partner comprises at least the peer's ISDN outband address. The peer's ISDN inband address and subaddress are meaningless, whereas usage of protocol selectors is according to the peer's requirements. + +Table I.4-2 shows the address components to be used in the *address* buffer specifying the called Presentation address in an *x\_conreq()* call: + +**Table I.4-2/T.180 – Address components specifying the called NSAP address in an *x\_conreq()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | optional the country code, optional the area code and the multiple subscriber number (MSN) | +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_T_SELECTOR | called Transport selector (optional) | +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_S_SELECTOR | called Session selector (optional) | +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_P_SELECTOR | called Presentation selector (optional) | + +##### I.4.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider + +The protocol modules of the service provider behave according to configured protocol options. Protocol options are used to control the general behaviour of a protocol module (they must not be confounded with service primitive parameters). The pre-configured values of the protocol options are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. + +Currently, there are no options for the protocol modules of the Presentation service provider, which could be set by the XAPI function *x\_optmgmt()*. + +#### **I.4.7.2 Connection Establishment service** + +##### **I.4.7.2.1 Service description** + +During the connection establishment phase, two users of the same service establish a connection between them. The XAPI user must already have prepared a service endpoint before the connection establishment phase can start. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for ACSE Connection Establishment are described in the Table I.4-3. + +**Table I.4-3/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Connection Establishment** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|------------------------|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Connect Request | x_conreq() | The Connect Request is passed to the provider to request the establishment of a connection. | +| Connect Indication | x_conind() | The Connect Indication is generated by the provider to indicate the request from a remote terminal to establish a connection. | +| Connect Response | x_conrsp() | The Connect Response is passed to the provider as reaction to a previously received Connect Indication as positive or negative response. | +| Connect Confirmation | x_conconf() | The Connect Confirmation is generated by the provider of a local establishment. | + +##### **I.4.7.2.2 Service parameters** + +Table I.4-4 specifies the parameters of the ACSE Connection Establishment service. + +NOTE – Some parameters belong together forming one data structure, so that they have to occur in a special order. + +The first is the context definition list, which is formed by a list of triples comprising the presentation context id, the abstract syntax and a (list of) supported transfer syntaxes. Each triple must occur always in the same order within the parameter buffer. The order is X\_ACS\_P\_CTXT\_ID, X\_ACS\_P\_AS and (possibly several times) X\_ACS\_P\_TS. + +The second is the context definition result list, which is also formed by a list of triples comprising the presentation context identifier, the result, i.e. acceptance or rejection of the proposed presentation context and, if the result is acceptance, the transfer syntax, which should be used. There are as many triples as there are in the presentation context definition list. + +The value of diagnosis parameter (X\_ACS\_P\_DIAG) depends on the value of the result source parameter (X\_ACS\_P\_RES\_SRC). Thus, it is important that the result source precedes the diagnosis. + +**Table I.4-4/T.180 – Parameters of the Connection Establishment service** + +| Parameter | Connect Service | | | | +|------------------------|-----------------|------------|----------|--------------| +| | Request | Indication | Response | Confirmation | +| X_ACS_P_MAX_SUDATA | | M | | C | +| X_ACS_P_APP_CTXT | M | M (=) | M | M (=) | +| X_ACS_P_CTXT_ID | M | M (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_AS | M | M (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_TS | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CTXT_RES | | M | M | M (=) | +| X_ACS_P_TS_RES | | C | C | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_RES | | | M | M (=) | +| X_ACS_P_RES_SRC | | | | M | +| X_ACS_P_DIAG | | | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_SUR | M | M (=) | M | M (=) | +| X_ACS_P_CAG_AEQ | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAG_AEID | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAG_APT | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAG_APIID | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAD_AEQ | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAD_AEID | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAD_APT | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_CAD_APIID | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_RES_AEQ | | | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_RES_AEID | | | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_RES_APT | | | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_RES_APIID | | | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_INIT_SYN_POINT | C | C (=) | C | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_TOKEN | C | C (=) | C | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_S_CASUR | U | C (=) | | | +| X_ACS_P_S_CDSUR | | | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_S_CR | U | C (=) | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_S_ARI | U | C (=) | U | C (=) | +| X_ACS_P_PROV_REJ | | | U | | + +##### I.4.7.2.3 Service parameter description + +Tables I.4-5 to I.4-34 list the parameters for the Connection Establishment service. + +**Table I.4-5/T.180** + +| | | +|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Parameter name | X_ACS_P_MAX_SUDATA | +| Type of value | unsigned long | +| Legal values | X_ACS_PV_RESTRICTED, i.e. session user data are restricted

Transfer services in XAPI sense enable XAPI users to send and receive either normal or expedited data without additional parameters. ROSE operations transfer additional information beside the application data. Due to this reason the functions *x\_sndsp()* and *x\_rcvsp()* are used to send and receive, respectively, ROSE operations. + +##### **I.4.7.3.1 RO-INVOKE service** + +###### **I.4.7.3.1.1 Service description** + +The RO-INVOKE service is used to request the start of a remote operation. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for RO-INVOKE are described in Table I.4-35. + +**Table I.4-35/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for the invoke service** + +| Service Element | Service element identifier | XAPI function | Description | +|----------------------|----------------------------|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| RO-INVOKE Request | X_ROS_SP_ROIV_Q | x_sndsp() | The RO-INVOKE Request is passed to the provider to send a request to start a remote operation. | +| RO-INVOKE Indication | X_ROS_SP_ROIV_I | x_rcvsp() | The RO-INVOKE Indication is passed to the provider to receive a request for the start of a remote operation. | + +###### I.4.7.3.1.2 Service parameters + +Table I.4-36 specifies the parameters of the ROSE Invoke service. + +**Table I.4-36/T.180 – Parameters of the Invoke service** + +| Parameter | RO-INVOKE service | | +|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------| +| | Request | Indication | +| X_ROS_P_CTXT_ID | M | M | +| X_ROS_P_INV_ID | M | M | +| X_ROS_P_LINK_ID | U | C (=) | +| X_ROS_P_VAL_INT | C (Note 1) | C (=) (Note 1) | +| X_ROS_P_VAL_ID | C (Note 1) | C (=) (Note 1) | +| NOTE 1 – Either of the parameters X_ROS_P_VAL_INT or X_ROS_P_VAL_ID is present.

Detailed information about the XAPI is given in the main part of this Recommendation, which is very important for understanding this appendix. + +Which services are made available via the XAPI depends on the installed service providers and not on the XAPI, which only provides the access mechanism. + +The AV Codec can be seen as the "heart" of an audiovisual terminal. The service provider enables the XAPI user to: + +- establish a connection to a remote communication partner; +- release or disconnect a previously established connection; +- control the communication to the remote partner; and +- control the behaviour of the local AV Codec. + +The processing of audio and video signals is solely the task of the AV Codec. The AV Codec Controller only controls this processing. The communication path for the terminal-to-network control signals is provided in the D-channel while the AV communication with the remote entity, the path for the terminal-to-terminal control signals is provided as a single B/H0/H11/H12-channel or multiple B/H0-channels. + +This part does not refer to a concrete AV Codec, but describes the access to an ideal service provider according to Recommendation H.320 and related Recommendations. A concrete service provider, which is built on a certain AV Codec hardware, need not implement exactly this ideal service provider. Thus, it is necessary to have some release notes for each concrete service provider that explain the differences to the ideal service provider. + +Each concrete service provider has to implement all services described throughout this part and their standardized parameters. Note that the set of allowed values for a standardized service parameter may be restricted by a concrete service provider. It should not be necessary to extend the value range of a standardized parameter because it is defined as the maximum possible according to the Recommendations. The non-standardized service parameters described here provide a guideline for the implementation of useful non-standard features in a concrete service provider. They need not be implemented at all and even additional non-standard parameters, not mentioned here, may be implemented. But in order to provide portability of XAPI applications, it is a good idea to follow these guidelines as far as possible in the design of a concrete service provider. (For the same reason XAPI application programmers should not persist in the presence of a certain non-standard parameter.) + +### **I.5.2 References** + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

It contains a row for each service element of the service (where service element means either request, indication, response, or confirmation) with its corresponding XAPI function and a short description. + +In the second kind of table the use of the service primitive parameters within the service elements are described. It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column; the succeeding columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +| | | +|-------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Blank | The service parameter is absent. | +| C | Presence of the service parameter is conditional. Firstly, there may be a condition in the service provider to provide a parameter in an indication or confirmation, secondly, there may be interdependencies between parameters of the same or the preceding service primitive. | +| M | Presence of the service parameter is mandatory. | +| U | Presence of the service parameter is a user option. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is no default value for that parameter, nothing is passed to the service provider. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. | +| (=) | The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element. In the special case of a parameter, whose presence in the preceding service is a user option, for which a default value is defined, and the parameter was not specified in the preceding service element, the symbol (=) indicates that the parameter value is identical to the default value. | + +The third kind of table is used to describe the service primitive parameter containing the type of value and its scope, possible default values and a detailed description. For each service primitive parameter, one description table is given. + +A **naming convention** is used throughout the XAPI in order to distinguish between the common functions, identifiers and values, and service-specific identifiers and values. All service-specific settings of the XAPI AV Codec service access are defined within the present part of this appendix and start with **X\_PHC\_** or **x\_phc\_**. + +Extended naming conventions: + +- SP\_ Service Primitive; +- P\_ Parameter; +- PV\_ Parameter Value; +- O\_ Option; +- OV\_ Option Value. + +### I.5.6 Introduction to the video codec service provider access + +Because of the technical progress in video processing and in telecommunication, it is possible to transfer AV data in a high quality in narrow-band networks. Recommendation H.320 and its related Recommendations define inband and outband signalling procedures as well as codings for audio and video data for visual telephone systems. Recommendation H.221 defines the frame structure for 64 to 1920 kbit/s channel in audiovisual services, and Recommendation H.242 defines a system for establishing communication between audiovisual terminals using digital channels up to 2 Mbit/s. + +An important requirement of the H.320 series is the compatibility of videophones to ISDN – and analog telephones. All videophones start the connection establishment phase using one B/H0/H11/H12-channel, audio mode G.711 (3.1 kHz, 64 kbit/s). After the connection is established, both terminals exchange their capabilities and change to the best common mode of operation. This initialization procedure is defined in Recommendation H.242. In order to increase bandwidth, additional B/H0-channels may be established by the calling terminal. A larger bandwidth allows the improvement of the quality of speech as well as the best quality for the motion image sequences. + +Table I.5-1 shows important video communication modes in ISDN according to Recommendations H.221 and H.242: + +**Table I.5-1/T.180 – Audio/Video communication modes in ISDN** + +| Number of B-channels | Video | Audio | +|-----------------------|--------------|-----------------------------| +| Use of one B-channel | 46.4 kbit/s | 16 kbit/s: 3.1 kHz | +| Use of two B-channels | 68.8 kbit/s | 56 kbit/s: 3.1 kHz or 7 kHz | +| | 92.8 kbit/s | 32 kbit/s: 7 kHz | +| | 108.8 kbit/s | 16 kbit/s: 3.1 kHz | + +NOTE – The use of two B-channels improves the quality of videophone communications. The video bandwidth of 108.8 kbit/s provides the best quality of picture in ISDN if two B-channels are used. + +The XAPI Audio/Video Codec Control Service, as the name already suggests, provides the means to *control* a service provider performing audio/video communication conforming to the requirements of H.320 and its related Recommendations H.221, H.230, H.231, H.242 and H.243. + +Service primitives for connection establishment and release as well as for switching the mode of communication (e.g. change bandwidth for the audio data, change number of used lines) or the local receive capabilities are provided. + +The audio/video data themselves are actually not passed between XAPI user and service provider via XAPI function calls. These isochronous data streams have to be transferred without any delays between the system components. Commonly available hardware in personal computers does not allow to carry these data fast enough via the bus, therefore they are transferred by directly interconnecting audio/video I/O equipment, AV Codec and network interface. + +According to Recommendation H.320 and related Recommendations, the subscribers are also able to initiate a transfer of asynchronous data (e.g. transmission of still images, transmission of group 3 or group 4 facsimile documents) besides audio/video communication. Transfer of asynchronous data is not covered by the restrictions explained above. Therefore, a data transfer service is provided to exchange asynchronous data between the XAPI user and the service provider. The available video bandwidth is decreased by the data transfer rate. + +### **I.5.7 Description of the access to the Video Codec Service Provider** + +#### **I.5.7.1 Service initialization** + +##### **I.5.7.1.1 Creation of a AV Codec Service Access Point with *x\_open()*** + +A communication endpoint accessing the AV Codec service provider is created when calling the *x\_open()* function with an appropriate service provider identification string. The available identifiers depend on the actual system configuration. In the standard configuration, "X\_PHC\_ISDN" identifies the AV Codec control service provider with ISDN as underlying network. + +##### **I.5.7.1.2 Activation of a AV Codec Service Access Point with *x\_bind()*** + +*x\_bind()* is to be called to activate the AV Codec service endpoint. The function has the task to bind the application's own address to the service endpoint. + +##### **I.5.7.1.3 Addresses** + +The network address (NSAP) is used to identify the called or calling entity. + +###### **I.5.7.1.3.1 Specification of the application's own address** + +The own address may be specified in the *own\_address* buffer of the *bind\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_bind()* function. For a passive application it is returned in the *called\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +For a passive application it is not supported to specify the (own) responding NSAP address in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* in the *x\_conrsp()* call, because this value is not transferred by the network. + +Note that specification of the application's own protocol address in the *x\_bind()* call is optional. If no address information is specified, it is taken from the XAPI configuration and the actually bound address is returned as output parameter of the *x\_bind()* function. It is strongly recommended to trust in the XAPI configuration and not to specify the own address in the *x\_bind()* call. + +The own address consists of the NSAP address only. The NSAP address has to comprise the local ISDN outband address, i.e. the address information used in the D-channel. The own ISDN inband address and subaddress parameters as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless in the Audio/Video Codec Control service. If specified, they will be ignored. + +Table I.5-2 shows the address component which has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* call: + +**Table I.5-2/T.180 – Address component specified in the *x\_bind()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | A decimal digit, which is locally mapped to one of the available MSNs (Multiple Subscriber Numbers) | + +###### Binding of multiple addresses + +In an audiovisual communication according to Recommendations H.221/H.241, multiple channels (up to six B-channels) may be used for one connection. Therefore, multiple addresses have to be bound to a service endpoint if this feature is to be used. The binding of multiple addresses can be achieved by specifying as many A\_OUTBAND\_ADR address components in the *own\_address* buffer of the *x\_bind()* call, as addresses have to be bound. The number of A\_OUTBAND\_ADR components is limited to six for the AV Codec Control service provider. + +A passive application has to specify one address for each B-channel to be established. If two B-channels shall be established on the same address, this address has to be mentioned twice in the *own\_address* buffer. Or, the other way around, if an address is specified only once, then only one (ISDN) connection will be accepted for that address. + +###### I.5.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner + +On the active side, the address of the communication partner has to be specified in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_conreq()* function. On the passive side, the address of the communication partner is returned in the *calling\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +The address of the communication partner comprises at least the peer's ISDN outband address. The peer's ISDN inband address and subaddress as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless for the Audio/Video Codec Control service. + +Note that only one called outband address may be specified in the *x\_conreq()*. It is used to establish the initial channel of the AV connection. Additional channels may be added later with the elements of the Mode Switch service. Therefore, only one calling address is returned in the connect indication on the passive side. + +Table I.5-3 shows the address component to be used in the *address* buffer specifying the called NSAP address in a *x\_conreq()* call : + +**Table I.5-3/T.180 – Address component specifying the called NSAP address in a *x\_conreq()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | Optional the country code, optional the area code and the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +##### I.5.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider + +Protocol options are used to control the general behavior of the service provider. There is a default value defined for each option. These preconfigured values are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. The Option Management service can be used to set protocol options and to retrieve the current or default values of protocol options. + +#### I.5.7.2 Connection Establishment service + +##### I.5.7.2.1 Service description + +During the connection establishment phase, two users of the same service establish a connection between them. The XAPI user must already have prepared a service endpoint before the connection establishment phase can start. + +For active establishment of an AV connection, the XAPI function *x\_conreq()* is used. The user can optionally specify local capabilities as service parameters. The local capabilities define the receiver capabilities of the own AV terminal. The service provider generates a positive or negative connect confirmation primitive as a response to the connect request. The positive confirmation signals that an ISDN connection, the Initial Channel (IC), has been established successfully and that both terminals have started to exchange their capabilities on the IC. Later, when the mode initialization procedure is completed on the IC, Additional Channels (ACs) may be added to the connection to increase the total bandwidth. The establishment of additional channels is done with elements of the Mode Switch service. Note that only the AV terminal that initiated the establishment of the IC [the terminal which called *x\_conreq()*], is allowed to establish additional channels. + +At the passive side, the service provider generates a connect indication to indicate a pending call of a remote AV terminal. The XAPI user can accept or reject the call by calling the XAPI function *x\_conrsp()*. If the connection is accepted, the capability exchange procedure and the mode initialization procedure according to Recommendation H.242 starts. In the *x\_conrsp()* function call, the local receive capabilities may optionally be specified as service parameters. The default capabilities are used, if none are specified. + +For both the active and the passive sides, the **X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL** service primitive indicates the successful completion of the mode initialization procedure. Both terminals have exchanged their receive capabilities and switched their receiver/transmitter to a common mode of communication. If the initialization procedure fails, the AV connection is cleared and the service provider generates a disconnect indication. The XAPI user then has to call *x\_rcvdis()* as consuming function. + +The elements of the Connection Establishment service and the corresponding XAPI functions are defined in Table I.5-4. + +**Table I.5-4/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Connection Establishment** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|--------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Connect Request | x_conreq() | The Connect Request is passed to the provider to request the establishment of an AV connection. The own local capabilities to be used in the initial capability exchange may be specified as service parameters. If no capabilities are specified, the default values are used. | +| Connect Indication | x_conind() | The Connect Indication is generated by the provider to indicate a pending call from a remote terminal. The physical connection is not yet established. A positive connect response will accept the call and start the mode initialization procedure according to Recommendation H.242. The AV connection will be fully operational after successful completion of the initialization procedure. This is indicated with an X_PHC_SP_INIT_COMPL primitive. A negative connect response will reject the call. | + +**Table I.5-4/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions +for Connection Establishment (*concluded*)** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|----------------------|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Connect Response | x_conrsp() | The Connect Response is passed to the provider as reaction to a previously received connect indication. A positive connect response will accept the call and start the mode initialization procedure according to Recommendation H.242. A negative connect response will reject the call. If the call is accepted, the own local capabilities to be used in the initial capability exchange may be specified as service parameters. If no capabilities are specified, the default values are used. | +| Connect Confirmation | x_conconf() | The Connect Confirmation is generated by the provider as positive or negative response to a previous connection establishment request. A positive confirmation indicates that the remote terminal accepted the call and the mode initialization procedure is just going on. When it is finished successfully, the AV connection is fully operational. During mode initialization the audio path of the connection may be already available. | + +The element of the mode initialization procedure and the corresponding XAPI function are defined in Table I.5-5. + +**Table I.5-5/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI function +for mode initialization** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Service element identifier | Description | +|-------------------------|---------------|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Initialization Complete | x_rcvsp() | X_PHC_SP_INIT_COMPL | The X_PHC_SP_INIT_COMPL primitive is generated by the service provider to indicate that the mode initialization procedure according to Recommendation H.242 has been finished successfully. The local and remote capabilities and the selected receive and transmit communication mode are presented to the XAPI user as service parameters. Both terminals are operating in the indicated mode. The XAPI user should store the remote capabilities and observe them as limits to avoid failures in later mode switch requests. | + +##### **I.5.7.2.2 Service parameters** + +The following tables specify the parameters of the Connection Establishment service. There are two groups of parameters: the capability parameters and the communication mode parameters. + +The table below shows the local and remote receiving capability parameters. The capabilities are important for the selection of the communication mode used between the two AV terminals. Each side has to select a transmitting mode which is compatible with the receive capabilities of the other terminal. The selected transmitting mode is indicated to the partner with BAS commands and the own transmitter is switched to the selected mode. The other terminal has to switch its receiver according to the mode indicated by the received BAS commands. The local capability parameters share the prefix X\_PHC\_P\_LCAP\_ in their names, and the remote capability parameters share the prefix X\_PHC\_P\_RCAP\_. + +The specification of local capabilities is optional. If a capability parameter is not specified in a service element, the default value will be used by the service provider. The default value itself is defined by the value of a protocol option. For each capability parameter there is a corresponding protocol option which defines the default value for this parameter. For the protocol option, a constant default value is defined in the XAPI configuration. + +The local receive capabilities are transmitted to the remote terminal during connection establishment. If the value X\_PHC\_PV\_CAPNON is specified for a capability parameter (either explicit or implicit as default), this capability is not transmitted to the remote terminal. + +The receive capabilities of the remote terminal will be available after successful completion of the H.242 mode initialization procedure. They are presented to the service user as parameters of the init-complete service element (X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL). For capabilities which were not transmitted by the remote terminal, the value X\_PHC\_PV\_CAPNON is returned. + +Table I.5-6 specifies the capability parameters of the Connection Establishment service. + +**Table I.5-6/T.180 – Capability Parameters of the Connection Establishment service** + +| Parameter | Connect service | | | | | +|----------------------|-----------------|------------|----------|--------------|---------------| +| | Request | Indication | Response | Confirmation | Init Complete | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_AUDIO | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_VIDEO | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_DATA | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_HDATA | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_TFRATE | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_TFLINES | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_MISC | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_DATAPPL | U | | U | | M | +| X_PHC_P_LCAP_NONSTD | U | | U | | C | +| X_PHC_P_FALLBACK | U | | | | | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_AUDIO | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_VIDEO | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_DATA | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_HDATA | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_TFRATE | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_TFLINES | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_MISC | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_DATAPPL | | | | | M | +| X_PHC_P_RCAP_NONSTD | | | | | C | + +Table I.5-7 specifies the communication mode parameters.

The parameter specifies the non-standard reception capabilities of the local receiver. The maximum length for a non-CCITT capabilities message is 255 bytes. The minimum length is 5 bytes.

[byte 0]Country code according to Recommendation T.35;
[byte 1]Country code;
[byte 2, 3]Manufacturer code (e.g. company 4711);
[byte 4-n]e.g. terminal type identity.

The first two bytes define the country code and the next two bytes specify the terminal manufacturer code. The first byte of the country code is set according to Recommendation T.35; the second byte and bytes 3 to 4 of the manufacturer code are assigned nationally.

Note that due to the effective bandwidth of the BAS (0.4 kbit/s or 50 bytes per second), the transmission time for a capability exchange including non-standard capabilities of maximum length may be more than 5 seconds.

PV_FALSE | +| Default value | PV_TRUE | +| Description |

The parameter specifies the fallback feature of the local terminal. The X_PHC_P_FALL_BACK parameter is a user optional service parameter of the Connect Request service element. It enables/disables the automatic retrial if the initial connection establishment with service "video phone" failed. In the retrial the service "phone" is used what usually allows to establish a connection to a non video phone terminal, e.g. an ordinary ISDN phone. If the retrial is successful, the audio mode G.711 unframed is indicated in the init-complete. If the retrial is not successful, the connect request fails and a negative connect confirmation is passed to the user.

If X_PHC_P_FALL_BACK is set to PV_FALSE the automatic "phone" retrial is omitted and a connect request will fail if the "video phone" call is not accepted.

The parameter values are described above; see parameter X_PHC_P_LCAP_NONSTD. | + +#### I.5.7.3 Services in the connected state + +The connected state of an audiovisual communication is entered with the reception of the init-complete (X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL) service primitive. There are four services available that can be used in the connected state to control the communication: + +- the Capability Exchange service to initiate a capability exchange with the remote terminal, e.g. to signal a different own capability set; +- the Mode Switch service to change the currently used communication mode, e.g. to open or close a low speed data channel; +- the Data Transfer service to send and receive data on a previously opened data channel; +- the Control and Indication (C&I) service to send BAS commands to the remote terminal or receive BAS commands sent by the remote terminal. + +The capability exchange, the mode switch, and the C&I services all use the BAS for transmission. Therefore, requests from these services have to be scheduled so that the BAS is used by only one service at a time. The (effective) transfer rate available in the BAS is 0.4 kbit/s, which is equal to 50 bytes per second; thus the time needed for transmission of a command must not be neglected. The + +longest possible non-standard command, for example, comprises 256 bytes, and the transmission in the BAS would take a little bit more than five seconds. During this time the BAS is occupied and cannot be used to transmit another request. + +To avoid that the BAS is overrun, a flow control mechanism is used. After each request concerning the BAS, the application has to wait for the corresponding confirmation before the next BAS request is passed to the service provider. This does not only apply within a service but also between the three services using the BAS. If, for example, the application just requested a capability exchange, no mode switch request and no transmit C&I request may be passed to the service provider until the capability exchange confirmation is received. For each request concerning the BAS, the service provider checks whether there is an outstanding confirmation and will reject the request and generate an error indication with cause CC\_UNEXPECT if there is one. + +##### **I.5.7.3.1 Capability Exchange service** + +The Capability Exchange service is used to change one or more receive capabilities of the local terminal dynamically while the AV communication is active. The service elements capability exchange request and capability exchange confirmation are provided for this. They are defined as service primitives that are exchanged with the service provider through the XAPI function *x\_sndsp()* and *x\_rcvsp()*. + +###### **I.5.7.3.1.1 Service description** + +The **capability exchange request** primitive initiates a capability exchange sequence according to Recommendation H.242. It forces framing in both directions of transmission and the exchange of terminal capability codes with the peer entity. Either terminal may initiate the sequence, and there is no problem caused by both doing so simultaneously or nearly simultaneously. The terminal X which initiates the capability exchange first reinstates framing with the procedure defined in Recommendation H.242 and then transmits its current capability set. When the other terminal Y detects the incoming capability set, it begins transmission of its own set of capability codes. Note that the receiving terminal Y need not change its capability set in response to the new capability set of terminal X. + +The successful completion of the capability exchange sequence is indicated to the initiator with an **capability exchange confirmation** service primitive. It conveys two capability sets as output service parameters: the own capabilities (that have been included in the request) and the capabilities of the remote terminal. Both capability sets are complete, i.e. all parameters are present with one exception: the non-standard capability parameter is not present if no non-standard capabilities are specified locally or received from the remote terminal. Note that a capability parameter will take the value X\_PHC\_PV\_CAPNON if no such capability is present. The application should store the remote capabilities and observe them as limits to avoid failures in later mode switch requests. + +The capability exchange request requires the BAS for transmission and thus has to be coordinated with the other BAS requests (see I.5.7.3 above). No capability exchange request may be submitted while a capability exchange-, an add line-, a mode switch-, or a transfer C&I confirmation is outstanding. + +The capability exchange sequence is supervised by a timer (value about 10s). If the timer expires without multiframe alignment, an error indication is generated with cause code CC\_OTHER and diagnostic X\_PHC\_DC\_UNSYNC. If multiframe alignment could be achieved, but, even with retries, no complete capability set of the remote terminal was received within one timer period, an error indication with cause CC\_OTHER and diagnostic X\_PHC\_DC\_NOCAPSET is generated. + +The specification of the own, local capabilities parameters in the capability exchange request service primitive is optional. For each parameter not specified in the capability exchange request service primitive, the protocol machine adds the currently used value to the transmitted capability set. If the XAPI user wants to revoke a capability from the currently used set, it depends on the capability parameter which value has to be specified in the capability exchange request: + +- For a parameter that represents a group of capabilities and whose actual value is formed as the bit-wise OR combination of several defined values, X\_PHC\_PV\_CAPNON has to be specified to revoke all capabilities of this group. To revoke only some of the present capabilities, the new value is formed by switching off the bits corresponding to the capabilities to be revoked. + +Example: Assume that the variable *curr\_data\_cap* holds the current value of low-speed data capabilities and that this value is equal to X\_PHC\_PV\_DATA\_1200 | X\_PHC\_PV\_DATA\_9600 | X\_PHC\_PV\_DATA\_14400. + +To revoke the capability to receive LSD at 1200 bit/s, the value *curr\_data\_cap* & ~X\_PHC\_PV\_DATA\_1200 has to be specified for parameter X\_PHC\_P\_LCAP\_DATA in a capability exchange request. + +- For a parameter that takes exactly one value (and not the bit-wise OR combination of several defined values), the new value has to be specified to revoke or decrease capabilities. + +Example: To decrease the number of transfer lines supported from at most six B-channels to at most two B-channels, the value of the X\_PHC\_P\_LCAP\_TFLINES has to be changed from X\_PHC\_PV\_TFLINES\_6B to X\_PHC\_PV\_TFLINES\_2B in a capability exchange. + +- To revoke non-standard capabilities, the parameter X\_PHC\_LCAP\_NONSTD has to be specified in a capability exchange request without a value. + +**Hint:** There is a way to find out the currently active capability sets: a capability exchange request without any parameter will leave all local capabilities untouched and initiate a capability exchange with the currently used set. The capability exchange confirmation will yield the complete own and remote capability set. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for Capability Exchange are described in Table I.5-27. + +**Table I.5-27/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Capability Exchange** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Service element identifier | Description | +|-----------------------------|---------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Capability Exchange Request | x_sndsp() | X_PHC_SP_CAP_EXCHANGE_Q | The Capability Exchange Request is passed to the provider to initiate a capability exchange sequence according to Recommendation H.242.

The service can be used at any time during a communication, after the mode initialization procedure has been completed, i.e. after an `X_PHC_SP_INIT_COMPL` has been received. The mode switching sequence as described in Recommendation H.242 is performed to change the used communication mode. Furthermore, the application is notified about mode switches which are initiated by the remote terminal. + +###### I.5.7.3.2.1 Service description + +There are service elements to increase or decrease the number of channels in a multichannel connection and there are service elements that initiate or indicate a change of the communication mode on the currently established channels. + +In an AV communication the two transmission directions are, in principle, independent. There may be symmetrical modes where the mode in receive direction is the same as in transmit direction and asymmetrical ones where the two modes differ. For a conversational application, a videophone for example, a symmetrical mode would be best, whereas to operate a remote supervision camera would require an asymmetrical communication mode. + +Thus, the communication mode as indicated to the application program distinguishes receive and transmission modes. For convenience, the global communication mode is split into several categories, e.g. video mode, audio mode, and data mode. For each category there is one service parameter giving the current receive mode and one for the transmit mode. The only exception is the number of established transfer lines (B-channels) because each channel provides a full-duplex connection that can be used in both directions simultaneously. There is only one parameter giving the number of currently connected lines. + +After successful completion of the mode initialization procedure on the Initial Channel (IC), Additional Channels (ACs) may be added to the AV connection with an **add line request** to increase the total bandwidth. Only the active AV terminal that initiated the establishment of the IC [the terminal which called `x_conreq()`], is allowed to establish additional channels. Up to five ACs may be added simultaneously with one add line request. The number of channels to be established and the addresses to be used are specified as service parameters. The **add line confirmation**, which is generated as acknowledgment to an add line request, indicates the number of successfully established new channels. A value of 0 indicates that no new channels could be established. A mode switch indication (see below) will follow when the new channels are synchronized to the initial channel and included in the AV communication. The parameter `X_PHC_P_MODE_TFLINES` then indicates the now available bandwidth (number of channels). As default the new channels are used to increase the video bandwidth. No add line request may be submitted while an add line confirmation or any other confirmation from a BAS request (capability exchange-, mode switch-, or transfer C&I confirmation) is outstanding. Altogether, inclusive of the initial channel, no more channels will be established than those indicated by the value of the `X_PHC_P_LCAP_TFLINES` parameter. An add line request with this maximum number of channels already reached will be answered immediately with an add line confirmation of 0 channels. + +The add line request may be used to establish additional B-channels in a multi-B-channel connection and to set up additional $H_0$ -channels in a multi- $H_0$ -channel connection. Only channels of the same type may be combined in a multichannel connection. + +When establishing new channels, the service provider uses the addresses (phone numbers) in the same sequence as they are specified in the add line request. Each number is tried only once. The process stops when either the requested or maximum number of channels is reached or the specified + +numbers are exhausted. Then the add line confirmation is generated which indicates the number of successful established channels and the corresponding addresses. Unused addresses are ignored. In the case of basic rate interfaces ( $S_0$ ) one has to specify a number twice to set up two B-channels on the same interface. If an additional channel shall be established at the same interface as the initial channel, the number used in the *x\_conreq()* has to be specified in the add line request too. + +On the passive side, the service provider automatically accepts incoming calls for additional channels, as long as the maximum number of channels defined in X\_PHC\_P\_LCAP\_TFLINES is not yet reached. When the new channel is successfully synchronized with the initial channel, the passive application is informed about the new number of channels with a mode switch indication. As on the active side, the parameter X\_PHC\_P\_MODE\_TFLINES indicates the now available number of channels. Note that only the terminal that initiated establishment of the initial channel is allowed to establish additional channels. The service provider will generate an error indication with cause code CC\_UNEXPECT if an add line request is submitted on the passive side of an AV connection. + +With a **hang-up line request**, previously established additional channels may be disconnected again. A parameter specifies the number of channels to be closed. The hang-up line request implies a mode switch request that decreases the used transfer rate so that the specified number of channels becomes idle. These idle channels are then disconnected. Note that only additional channels may be closed with a hang-up line request; the initial channel has to be disconnected with *x\_relreq()* or *x\_snddis()*. As response to a hang-up line request, the application gets a mode switch indication in which the value of X\_PHC\_P\_MODE\_TFLINES is decremented by the number of closed channels. The hang-up line request may be used by either the active terminal or the passive terminal. If used on the passive side, it is advisable to decrease the value of X\_PHC\_P\_LCAP\_TFLINES accordingly in a following capability exchange, to prevent the active terminal from re-establishing the closed additional channels. + +The **mode switch request** can be used by either terminal at any time after successful mode initialization (reception of X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL) to dynamically change the mode in an active AV communication. The mode switching sequence according to Recommendation H.242 is followed. If a mode switch is requested while the Codec is receiving or transmitting unframed, the appropriate frame reinstatement procedure is executed automatically prior to the mode switch to enforce a framed mode. The service provider generates a **mode switch confirmation** as response to a previous mode switch request. The new communication mode is indicated by the service parameters. The mode switch request requires the BAS for transmission and thus has to be coordinated with the other BAS requests (see I.5.7.3 above). No mode switch request may be submitted while a mode switch-, an add line-, a capability exchange-, or a transfer C&I confirmation is outstanding. + +A mode switch request will fail: + +- if one of the specified parameters has an invalid value. The service provider will generate an error indication with cause CC\_BADVALUE in this case; +- if an inconsistent combination of audio, video, and data is specified, the service provider will generate an error indication with cause CC\_OTHER and diagnostic X\_PHC\_DC\_BADCOMBI in this case; +- if the requested mode is in conflict with the known receive and decode capabilities of the remote terminal. The service provider will generate an error indication with cause CC\_OTHER and diagnostic X\_PHC\_DC\_CAPCONFLICT in this case. + +If a mode switch request fails, the current communication mode is retained. + +The **mode switch indication** is generated by the service provider to inform the application about a mode switch initiated by the remote partner or an automatic mode switch triggered by a local condition. Usually no action is required on this indication. + +Some notes to communication mode switching: + +NOTE 1 – An AV terminal always has to switch its receiver/decoder according to the BAS commands received from the other end terminal, which itself has to transmit data as specified by the previously sent BAS commands. This, of course, applies for both directions. If the own transmitting mode is changed, the remote terminal has to change its receive mode accordingly. Conversely, if the remote terminal initiates a mode switch, the service provider automatically switches the local receiver to the new mode and indicates the mode switch to the application. No action is required on this indication. + +NOTE 2 – The own transmitting mode may be changed only according to the known receive and decode capabilities of the remote terminal. The service provider checks whether the new mode specified in a mode switch request is within the known capabilities of the remote terminal. The current mode will not be changed, if the specified new mode is in conflict with the remote capabilities for one category, even if the values specified in other categories are supported by the remote terminal. In this case, the mode switch confirmation generated as response to the mode switch request, will indicate an unchanged communication mode. + +NOTE 3 – The service provider will automatically initiate a mode switch if the remote terminal changes its capabilities so that the current mode is no longer receivable/decodable. The new transmission mode is selected by the service provider in accordance with the new capability set of the remote terminal. The new mode is indicated to the application. No action is required on this indication. + +NOTE 4 – It is not possible to request a change of the own receive/decoding mode because it always has to correspond to the transmission/encoding mode of the remote terminal. (See also Note 1.) However, there is an indirect way to control the own receiver: A new, different capability set is indicated to the remote terminal with a capability exchange request. If the current reception mode is then no longer allowed with the new capability set, the remote terminal has to switch to another transmission mode and the own receiver has to follow this. But this only works if the own capability set is decreased. If the capability set is increased, i.e. previously unsupported capabilities are signalled, the remote terminal is not enforced to take advantage of the new capabilities and change its transmission mode. The currently used transmission mode may be kept as long as it corresponds to the receiving capabilities of the other side. + +NOTE 5 – If the video bandwidth would become zero as the result of a mode switch request, the service provider automatically sends a video command "Freeze picture Request" (VCF) to the remote terminal before the mode switch is executed. The VCF will freeze the picture at the remote terminal until a picture release signal is sent or a time-out period of at least six seconds has expired. The VCF is not automatically repeated by the service provider. If the application wishes to continue the freezing of the picture, it should send VCF repeatedly with an appropriate period. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for Mode Switch are described in Table I.5-29. + +**Table I.5-29/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions +for Mode Switch** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Service element identifier | Description | +|-----------------------|---------------|----------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Add Line Request | x_sndsp() | X_PHC_SP_ADD_LINE_Q |

X_PHC_SP_ADD_LINE_Q is the identifier of the service primitive.

| +| Add Line Confirmation | x_rcvsp() | X_PHC_SP_ADD_LINE_C |

The Add Line Confirmation is passed to the application as a response to a previous add line request. The number of established new channels and the corresponding phone numbers are indicated to the application as output service parameters.

X_PHC_SP_ADD_LINE_C is the identifier of the service primitive.

| +| Hang-up Line Request | x_sndsp() | X_PHC_SP_HUP_LINE_Q |

The Hang-up Line Request may be submitted to close some or all of the additional channels. The initial channel is not affected.

X_PHC_SP_HUP_LINE_Q is the identifier of the service primitive.

| +| Mode Switch Request | x_sndsp() | X_PHC_SP_MODE_SWITCH_Q |

The Mode Switch Request primitive is passed to the provider to initiate a change of the current transmission mode. The new mode is defined by the service parameters. Only categories to be changed must be specified. All others keep their values.

X_PHC_SP_MODE_SWITCH_Q is the identifier of the service primitive.

The Mode Switch Confirmation is passed to the application as a response to a previous mode switch request. The service parameters indicate the current receive and transmit mode. If mode switching succeeded, the transmit mode is equal to the one specified in the request.

X_PHC_SP_MODE_SWITCH_C is the identifier of the service primitive.

| +| Mode Switch Indication | x_rcvsp() | X_PHC_SP_MODE_SWITCH_I |

The Mode Switch Indication is passed to the application when the communication mode was changed by the provider without request from the application. See Notes above for the situations where such automatically mode changes are necessary. The service parameters indicate the new receive and transmit mode.

X_PHC_SP_MODE_SWITCH_I is the identifier of the service primitive.

| + +NOTE 6 – The current communication mode is indicated to the application with: + +- 1) the X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL primitive; +- 2) the X\_PHC\_SP\_MODE\_SWITCH\_C; and +- 3) the X\_PHC\_SP\_MODE\_SWITCH\_I. + +The application may save this mode information internally, if it is required to know the current mode at any time. If the application hasn't done so, or the saved mode information has unfortunately been lost, there is a simple way to retrieve the current communication mode from the service provider: a mode switch

This parameter is mandatory for add line requests and hang-up line requests. In case of add line it specifies the number of additional channels to be established and in case of hang-up line the number of additional channels to be closed.

The parameter is returned by an add line confirmation. There it indicates the number of successfully established new channels.

Including the initial channel, at most the number of lines indicated by the value of the X_PHC_P_LCAP_TFLINES parameter will be established. The value of X_PHC_P_NUM_LINES will be decremented internally if the requested value plus the number of already established channels would exceed this maximum value.

This parameter is mandatory for add line requests. It specifies one outband address (phone number) to be used for establishment of an additional channel. The parameter may be specified more than once in the parameter buffer, at most five times. Note that the number of channels to be established is defined by the X_PHC_P_NUM_LINES parameter and not by the number of addresses. Additional addresses are ignored.

The parameter is returned in an add line confirmation if an additional channel was successfully established. The value is one of the addresses specified in the request. It indicates the number used to dial up the channel. The parameter will appear in the parameter buffer as many times as new additional channels were established.

| + +##### **I.5.7.3.3 Data Transfer service** + +Beside the AV communication, additional channels for asynchronous data transfer may be activated with the Mode Switch service. The data transfer service enables the application program to access a previously activated data channel. The audio and video channels cannot be accessed with the Data Transfer service. Other services have to be used to control AV communication. + +NOTE 1 – According to Recommendation H.242 and T.120, MLP and H-MLP are combined to a single MLP subchannel, if both are activated. The bit rate of the combined channel is the sum of the MLP and H-MLP bit rates. + +NOTE 2 – Activated data channels occupy a part of the total bandwidth and thus decrease the available bandwidth for video data. Audio bandwidth is not influenced by the activation of data channels. + +NOTE 3 – LSD and HSD channels can be used in one direction only. To get a full-duplex connection for asynchronous data transfer, both terminals have to activate an LSD or HSD channel. The bit rates need not necessarily be the same in both directions. + +###### I.5.7.3.3.1 Service description + +The Data Transfer service comprises two elements. The XAPI function *x\_snddata()* is used to transmit data on a previously established data channel, and the XAPI function *x\_rcvdata()* is used to receive data from a data channel. + +If a data channel has been opened for receiving, the service provider will store data at the service endpoint until it is received by the application with an *x\_rcvdata()* call. If the application does not call *x\_rcvdata()* for a longer time, the service provider may run out of storage if no flow control mechanism is used that would stop the sender before this happens. In case of data overflow, some or all of the stored data is released without notification. To avoid loss of data, an application should call *x\_rcvdata()* as soon as data is available at the service endpoint. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for Data Transfer are described in Table I.5-50. + +**Table I.5-50/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Data Transfer** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|-----------------|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Data Request | x_snddata() | The Data Request is passed to the provider to transmit asynchronous data.

X_PHC_PV_MLP_DATA | +| Default value | none | +| Description | This parameter is used to specify the type of data sent or received by the service provider. The following values for the service parameter X_PHC_P_DATA_TYPE are defined:

X_PHC_PV_LSD_DATA      low-speed data;
X_PHC_PV_HSD_DATA      high-speed data;
X_PHC_PV_MLP_DATA      multilayer protocol. | + +##### I.5.7.3.4 Control and Indication service + +The Control and Indication (C&I) service enables the application to transmit commands and indications to the remote communication partner and to receive commands and indications sent by the remote partner. The service can be used at any time during a communication after the mode initialization procedure has been completed, i.e. after an X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL has been received. + +The C&I service provides the basic commands and indications defined in Recommendation H.230. They are classified into four groups: + +- 1) C&I related to audio; +- 2) C&I related to video; +- 3) C&I for maintenance purposes; and +- 4) C&I related to simple multipoint conferences not using MLP. + +Beside this, the C&I service provides some means to transmit and receive non-standard commands according to Recommendation H.221. + +Recommendations H.242 and H.243 define some procedures to be followed in establishment and during an audiovisual communication. Recommendation H.242 deals with the communication of two AV terminals, while Recommendation H.243 concerns conference calls of three or more AV terminals and the communication between the MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) and an AV terminal. In order to provide interoperability with other AV terminals and communication equipment, the application should obey the rules given in these Recommendations. + +###### I.5.7.3.4.1 Service description + +The **transmit C&I request** can be used by either terminal at any time after successful mode initialization (reception of X\_PHC\_SP\_INIT\_COMPL) to transmit a single command or a sequence of commands within the BAS to the remote terminal. The BAS is accessible only if operating in a framed mode. No automatic frame reinstatement is provided. A transmit C&I request will fail if the I-channel is not synchronized at the time the transmission is requested. An error indication primitive with cause code CC\_OTHER and diagnostic X\_PHC\_DC\_UNSYNC is generated by the service + +provider and an ERROR event occurs at the service endpoint. The application has to call *x\_rcverror()* to consume the event and retrieve the error indication. To avoid this failure, the application should check the current synchronization state of the I-channel before a C&I transmission is requested. If transmission is currently unframed, the application has to switch to a framed mode prior to the C&I transmit request. (The parameter X\_PHC\_P\_TMOD\_SYNC of mode switch indications and confirmations shows the current synchronization state in transmission direction.) + +The service provider generates a **transmit C&I confirmation** as response to a previous transmit C&I request. This confirmation has only local meaning and is used for flow control purposes. It indicates that transmission of the command or command sequence on the BAS completed and the BAS is now free again for other requests. The confirmation does not imply that the remote terminal understood or accepted the command. Note that due to the effective bandwidth of the BAS (0.4 kbit/s or 50 bytes per second), the transmission time for a longer command sequence will soon count in seconds, which is a really long time in modern computing. + +The transmit C&I request requires the BAS for transmission and thus has to be coordinated with the other BAS requests (see I.5.7.3 above). No transmit C&I request may be submitted while a transmit C&I-, a mode switch-, an add line-, or a capability exchange confirmation is outstanding. + +A **transmit C&I indication** is generated by the service provider to indicate received commands or indications to the application. It depends on the received command whether an action is required by the application or whether the service provider or Codec already took the appropriate action and the command is indicated for information only. + +The service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions needed for Control and Indication are described in Table I.5-53. + +**Table I.5-53/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Control and Indication** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Service element identifier | Description | +|---------------------------|---------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Transmit C&I Request | x_sndsp() | X_PHC_SP_TRA_CAI_Q | The Transmit C&I Request primitive is passed to the provider to send one or more commands or indications to the remote terminal. The commands and indications to be transmitted are specified as service parameters.
X_PHC_SP_TRA_CAI_Q is the identifier of the service primitive. | +| Transmit C&I Confirmation | x_rcvsp() | X_PHC_SP_TRA_CAI_C | The Transmit C&I Confirmation primitive is generated by the service provider as acknowledgment of a previous transmit C&I request. It indicates that transmission completed. There are no service parameters defined.
X_PHC_SP_TRA_CAI_C is the identifier of the service primitive. | +| Received C&I Indication | x_rcvsp() | X_PHC_SP_REC_CAI_I | The Received C&I Indication primitive is passed to the application to indicate the reception of a command or indication from the communication partner. The service parameters specify the received command or indication.
X_PHC_SP_REC_CAI_I is the identifier of the service primitive. | + +###### **I.5.7.3.4.2 Service parameters** + +Table I.5-54 specifies the parameters of the Control and Indication service. Each parameter corresponds to one command or indication. In a transmit C&I request, multiple parameters (commands) may be specified. The commands are transmitted one after another in the sequence of the parameters in the parameter buffer. + +An X\_PHC\_SP\_REC\_CAI\_I primitive always returns only one received command or indication to the application. + +NOTE 1 – There are C&I parameters that have no value. These "no-value-parameters" represent simple commands like, Video Command "Freeze Picture". If the parameter is specified in a transmit C&I request, the corresponding command is sent to the remote partner. And, vice versa, if the parameter is returned by a received C&I indication, the corresponding command or indication has been received from the remote terminal (or MCU). + +NOTE 2 – The service provider may act in one of the following ways upon the reception of a C&I: + +- 1) The requested (appropriate) action is taken and no indication is passed to the application. Some commands that are handled by the Codec internally are treated in this way. A received video command "Freeze Picture Request", for example, is handled internally and the user will note the result: a frozen picture on the screen. It is not necessary to inform the application program. +- 2) The requested (appropriate) action is taken and an X\_PHC\_SP\_REC\_CAI\_I is passed to the application program for information. Some commands that are handled by the Codec internally and/or require immediate reaction are treated in this way. A received loopback command "Video Loop Request", for example, is handled internally but maybe it would a good idea to inform the user that video loopback is active and thus the own picture is not transmitted to the remote terminal any more. +- 3) No action is taken and the received command or indication is passed on to the application program with an X\_PHC\_SP\_REC\_CAI\_I. It depends on the C&I whether the application has to act on this indication or not. A received "Multipoint Indication Visualization" (MIV), for example, is simply passed on by the service provider. Such a MIV is transmitted by an MCU to indicate to a terminal that its video signal is being seen by the other terminals. It is up to the application to use this information and, e.g. put on a little red light to inform the person in front of the camera. + +**Table I.5-54/T.180 – Parameters of the Control and Indication service** + +| Parameter | Control and Indication service | | +|---------------------|--------------------------------|------------| +| | Request | Indication | +| X_PHC_P_H230_AIM | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_AIA | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VCF | U | | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VCU | U | | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VIS | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VIA | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VIA2 | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VIA3 | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_VIR | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_LCA | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_LCV | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_LCD | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_LCO | U | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MCV | U | | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MIV | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MCC | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_CN_MCC | | C | + +**Table I.5-54/T.180 – Parameters of the Control and Indication service (concluded)** + +| Parameter | Control and Indication service | | +|---------------------|--------------------------------|------------| +| | Request | Indication | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MCS | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MCN | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MIZ | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_CN_MIZ | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_MIS | | C | +| X_PHC_P_H230_CN_MIS | | C | +| X_PHC_P_CMD_NONSTD | U | C | + +Tables I.5-55 to I.5-78 describe the parameters for the Control and Indication Service. + +###### I.5.7.3.4.3 C&I service parameters related to audio + +**Table I.5-55/T.180** + +| | | +|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Parameter name | X_PHC_P_H230_AIM | +| Type of value | no value | +| Legal values | not applicable | +| Default value | not applicable | +| Description |

On reception of picture release, the remote terminal will cancel a previously received VCF (video command freeze picture request). | + +#### I.5.7.7 Option management + +The **management of protocol options** is based on the XAPI function *x\_optmgt()*. It enables the XAPI user to set the value of a protocol option, to check a value without changing the current value, and to retrieve the current or default value. See the main part of this Recommendation for a detailed description of option management in general and the manual page of the *x\_optmgt()* function. The option management may be used in any state of the service endpoint. Protocol options have only local meaning. If a connection is established on an endpoint, changes in protocol options are not indicated to the remote partner. But the data transmission over this connection may be influenced by the current setting of some protocol options. For each protocol option, there is a default value defined in the XAPI configuration. This default is sufficient for the majority of applications and usually need not be changed. + +The AV Codec control service supports five groups of protocol options: + +- the default capability options: For each local capability parameter there is a corresponding protocol option which defines the default value for this parameter. If the parameter is not specified in a request, the value of the corresponding protocol option is used instead; +- standard H.261 options which control the video encoding process; +- non-standard H.261 options; +- non-standard audio options; +- non-standard maintenance options. + +The standard options have to be implemented by each concrete service provider while the non-standard options need not be present in all implementations. Sometimes it depends on the Codec hardware if an option can be implemented or not. All options have permanent scope, i.e. they are in effect for the whole lifetime of the service endpoint. The default option values are usually configured to the maximum values supported by the underlying hardware. + +##### I.5.7.7.1 Protocol option descriptions + +Tables I.5-95 to I.5-118 describe the protocol options. + +###### I.5.7.7.1.1 Default capability options + +**Table I.5-95/T.180** + +| | | +|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Option name | X_PHC_O_LCAP_AUDIO | +| Type of value | long | +| Legal values | X_PHC_PV_CAPNON

It contains a row for each service element of the service (where service element means either request, indication, response, or confirmation) with its corresponding XAPI function and a short description. + +In the second kind of table the use of the service primitive parameters within the service elements are described. It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column; the succeeding columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +Blank The service parameter is absent. + +- C Presence of the service parameter is conditional. Firstly, there may be a condition in the service provider to provide a parameter in an indication or confirmation; secondly, there may be interdependencies between parameters of the same or the preceding service primitive. +- M Presence of the service parameter is mandatory. +- U Presence of the service parameter is a user option. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is no default value for that parameter, nothing is passed to the service provider. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. +- (=) The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element. In the special case of a parameter, whose presence in the preceding service is a user option, for which a default value is defined, and the parameter was not specified in the preceding service element, the symbol (=) indicates that the parameter value is identical to the default value. + +The third kind of table is used to describe the service primitive parameter containing the type of value and its scope, possible default values and a detailed description. For each service primitive parameter one description table is given. + +A **naming convention** is used throughout the XAPI in order to distinguish between the common functions, identifiers and values, and service-specific identifiers and values.

The following services of the above specified groups are supported: + +- *Conference establishment and termination* – conference creation, conference query, joining a conference, invitation to a conference (passive only), leaving a conference, indication of ejection of a user, indication of termination of a conference; + +- *Conference roster* – indication of the actual conference roster, announce of the presence in a conference (this service is not visible to the XAPI user); +- *Application roster* – application roster report indication; +- *Conference conductorship* – indication of conductor assign and release, information about the conference conductor, if any; +- *Miscellaneous functions*. + +Recommendation T.120 supports the following configurations: + +- direct connection between two terminals without MCU + +![Diagram showing a direct connection between two terminals without an MCU.](b3e20b3a7c662b6f564c2b92175a2909_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph LR + T1([Terminal]) --- T2([Terminal]) + +``` + +T0827310-97 + +Diagram showing a direct connection between two terminals without an MCU. + +**Figure I.6-2/T.180 – Example configuration: Direct connection between two terminals without MCU** + +- connection between terminals and multiport terminals without MCUs + +![Diagram showing a connection between a terminal, a multiport terminal, and another terminal without MCUs.](b18c13296cba7ef8a7113fc1b8ac6ef1_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph LR + T1([Terminal]) --- MT([Multiport terminal]) + MT --- T2([Terminal]) + +``` + +T0827320-97 + +Diagram showing a connection between a terminal, a multiport terminal, and another terminal without MCUs. + +**Figure I.6-3/T.180 – Example configuration: Connection between terminals and multiport terminals without MCUs** + +- hierarchical configuration of MCUs and terminals + +![Diagram showing a hierarchical configuration of MCUs and terminals.](b441ce2f4621bf0259ef1965a02eebea_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph TD + MCU1([MCU]) --- MCU2([MCU]) + MCU1 --- MCU3([MCU]) + MCU2 --- T1([Terminal]) + MCU2 --- T2([Terminal]) + MCU3 --- T3([Terminal]) + MCU3 --- T4([Terminal]) + +``` + +T0827330-97 + +Diagram showing a hierarchical configuration of MCUs and terminals. + +**Figure I.6-4/T.180 – Example configuration: Hierarchical configuration of MCUs and terminals** + +Restrictions, which are made for implementation: + +Only the hierarchical configuration of MCUs and terminals is supported. Each terminal is directly connected to a MCU (see Figure I.6-4). + +The XAPI interface is taken into consideration only in a terminal. Therefore, only GCC services which correspond to a terminal are allowed. + +Optional and most conditional services are not supported: + +- *Conference establishment and termination* – active invitation to conference, lock or unlock the conference, information about change between locked or unlocked, active termination of a conference, active ejection of a user, active conference transfer; +- *Conference roster* – information about the actual conference roster; +- *Application roster* – active or passive invocation of an application; +- *Conference conductorship* – active conductor assign, active conductor release, conductor please, conductor give, conductor permission ask and grant; +- *Miscellaneous functions* – conference time remaining, conference time inquire, conference extend, conference assistance, conference text message. + +### **I.6.7 Description of the access to the conference control provider** + +#### **I.6.7.1 Service initialization** + +##### **I.6.7.1.1 Creation of a conference control service access point with `x_open()`** + +A communication endpoint accessing conference control service provider is created when calling the `x_open()` function with an appropriate service provider identification string. The available identifiers depend on the actual system configuration. In the standard configuration, "X\_T.120\_CONF\_ISDN" identifies the conference control provider with the node controller, T.124 GCC and T.122/T.125 MCS as underlying functionality as well as a transport system based on the ISDN network. On the protocol levels two to four, there are implementations of HDLC LAP B, ISO 8208 and T.70. + +##### **I.6.7.1.2 Selection of the underlying transport system with `x_bind()`** + +`x_bind()` is to be called to activate the conference control service endpoint. The function has the following tasks: + +- If the service provider, which has been selected with `x_open()`, does not comprise a transport system, link a transport system below the available protocol modules; +- Bind an address to the service endpoint. + +If the service provider X\_T.120\_CONF\_ISDN has been selected in the `x_open()` function, no transport system has to be specified in the `x_bind()` function. + +##### **I.6.7.1.3 Protocol addresses** + +The protocol address to be used for the conference control service is the NSAP address. Selectors are meaningless for the conference control service. + +###### **I.6.7.1.3.1 The application's own address** + +The own address may be specified in the `own_address` buffer of the `bind_struct` passed as argument to the `x_bind()` function. It is returned in the `called_addr` buffer of the `x_conind()` function. + +For a passive application it is not supported to specify the own responding NSAP address in the `address` buffer of the `call_struct` in the `x_conrsp()` function, as this value is not transferred by the network. + +Note that specification of the application's own protocol address is completely optional. If no address information is specified, the own address is derived from system configuration information and the bound value is returned as output parameter of the *x\_bind()* function. + +The own address consists of the NSAP address only. The NSAP address has to comprise the local ISDN outband address, i.e. the address information used in the D-channel. The own ISDN inband address and subaddress parameters as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless for the conference control service. If specified, they will be ignored. + +Table I.6-1 shows the address component which has to be specified in the *x\_bind()* call: + +**Table I.6-1/T.180 – Address component specified in the *x\_bind()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | A decimal digit, which is locally mapped on the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +###### **I.6.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner** + +On the sending side, the address of the communication partner has to be specified in the *address* buffer of the *call\_struct* passed as argument to the *x\_conreq()* function. On the receiving side, the address of the communication partner is returned in the *calling\_addr* buffer of the *x\_conind()* function. + +The address of the communication partner comprises at least the peer's ISDN outband address. The peer's ISDN inband address and subaddress as well as the protocol selectors are meaningless for the conference control service. + +Table I.6-2 shows the address component to be used in the *address* buffer specifying the called NSAP address in a *x\_conreq()* call: + +**Table I.6-2/T.180 – Address component specifying the called NSAP address in a *x\_conreq()* call** + +| ISDN network | Address component | Value | +|--------------|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ISDN/DSS 1 | A_OUTBAND_ADR | Optional the country code, optional the area code and the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) | + +##### **I.6.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider** + +Protocol options are used to control the general behavior of the service provider. There is a default value defined for each option. These preconfigured values are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. + +XAPI enables applications to express their wishes about the settings of protocol options by using the XAPI function *x\_optmgmt()*. + +Tables I.6-3 and I.6-4 define the protocol options. + +**Table I.6-3/T.180** + +| | | +|---------------|----------------------------------------------| +| Option name | X_CON_O_AROSTER | +| Type of value | unsigned long | +| Legal values | PV_TRUE

There are two possibilities to become a participant: + +- The XAPI user itself will actively become a participant of a conference. In this case the x\_conreq and x\_conconf connection establishment service elements are used. +- The XAPI user is invited to a conference. In this case the x\_conind and x\_conrsp connection establishment service elements are used. + +When the terminal is a participant of the conference, all supported applications (e.g. T.127 MBFT) can be started. + +The elements of the Connection Establishment service and the corresponding XAPI functions for the active participation are defined in Table I.6-5. + +**Table I.6-5/T.180 – Service elements and their corresponding XAPI functions for Connection Establishment for active participation** + +| Service element | XAPI function | Description | +|----------------------|---------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Connect Request | x_conreq() | The Connect Request is passed to the provider to request the establishment of a connection to the Top provider of the conference.

If a capability parameter is not specified in a service element, the default value will be used by the service provider. The default value itself is defined by the value of a protocol option. For each capability parameter there is a corresponding protocol option which defines the default value for this parameter. For the protocol option, a constant default value is defined in the XAPI configuration. + +**Table I.6-7/T.180 – Parameters of the active participation service** + +| Parameter | Connect service | | +|----------------------|-----------------|--------------| +| | Request | Confirmation | +| X_CON_P_CR_JOIN | M | | +| X_CON_P_CONF_NAME | M | M (=) | +| X_CON_P_CNAME_M_CD | C | | +| X_CON_P_CNAME_M_CG | U | | +| X_CON_P_CONV_PASS | U | | +| X_CON_P_PASS | C | C | +| X_CON_P_PASS_CLEAR | | C | +| X_CON_P_LOCKED | C | C | +| X_CON_P_LISTED | C | C | +| X_CON_P_CONDUCT | C | C | +| X_CON_P_TERM_MOD | C | C | +| X_CON_P_COND_PRIV | C | C | +| X_CON_P_COND_M_PRIV | C | C | +| X_CON_P_NCOND_M_PRIV | C | C | +| X_CON_P_CONF_DESCR | C | C | +| X_CON_P_CALLER_ID | U | | +| X_CON_P_LOC_NETADDR | U | | +| X_CON_P_NODE_NAME | U | | +| X_CON_P_PART_NAME | U | | +| X_CON_P_SITE_INFO | U | | +| X_CON_P_NODE_ID | | C | +| X_CON_P_DATA_PRI | U | C | +| X_CON_P_RESULT | | M | + +# **I.6.7.2.3 Service parameter description for active participation** + +Tables I.6-8 to I.6-30 define the parameters for the elements x\_conreq and x\_conconf of the Connection Establishment service. + +**Table I.6-8/T.180** + +| | | +|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Parameter name | X_CON_P_CR_JOIN | +| Type of value | unsigned long | +| Legal values | X_CON_PV_CREATE

The location of an application protocol module is shown in Figure I.7-1: each application protocol uses the protocol stack which was initialized and activated in the phase, when a terminal was connected to the conference (see I.6, XAPI access to the T.120 conference control provider). + +The reader should be familiar with the T.120 suite of standards (see References). + +## I.7.2 References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

The kind of description is derived from the kind of service and protocol description within OSI Standards. + +In the first kind of table the service and its service elements are described. It contains a row for each service element of the service (where service element means either request, indication, response, or confirmation) with its corresponding XAPI function and a short description. + +In the second kind of table the use of the service primitive parameters within the service elements are described. It contains a row for each service primitive parameter of the service. The service primitive parameter name is stored within the first column; the succeeding columns contain the use of the parameter in the service elements: + +Blank The service parameter is absent. + +C Presence of the service parameter is conditional. Firstly, there may be a condition in the service provider to provide a parameter in an indication or confirmation; secondly, there may be interdependencies between parameters of the same or the preceding service primitive. + +M Presence of the service parameter is mandatory. + +U Presence of the service parameter is a user option. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is no default value for that parameter, nothing is passed to the service provider. If the user does not specify a value for such a parameter and there is a default value, the default value is passed to the service provider. + +(=) The value of the service parameter is identical to the value of the corresponding service parameter in the preceding service element. In the special case of a parameter, whose presence in the preceding service is a user option, for which a default value is defined, and the parameter was not specified in the preceding service element, the symbol (=) indicates that the parameter value is identical to the default value. + +The third kind of table is used to describe the service primitive parameter containing the type of value and its scope, possible default values and a detailed description. For each service primitive parameter, one description table is given. + +A **naming convention** is used throughout the XAPI in order to distinguish between the common functions, identifiers and values, and service-specific identifiers and values. All service-specific settings of the T.127 MBFT service provider access are defined within the present part of this appendix and start with **X\_MBF\_** or **x\_mbf\_**. + +Extended naming conventions: + +- SP\_ Service Primitive; +- P\_ Parameter; +- PV\_ Parameter Value; +- O\_ Option; +- OV\_ Option Value. + +## **I.7.6 Introduction to the MBFT service provider access** + +The T.127 MBFT Protocol [T.127] supports the interchange of binary files within an interactive conferencing or group working environment where the [T.120] series of Recommendations is in use. It provides mechanisms for: + +- simultaneous distribution of multiple files; +- broadcasting of files to all participants within a conference; +- selective distribution of files to a subset of participants; +- conductor control of file distribution; +- retrieval of files from remote sites; +- partial retransmission of files following an interruption; +- remote directory access. + +The following services of the above specified groups are supported: + +- simultaneous distribution of multiple files; +- broadcasting of files to all participants within a conference; +- selective distribution of files to a subset of participants; +- conductor control of file distribution. + +A file transfer user application initiates a file transfer session via its MBFT protocol entity, specifying the application capabilities and session mode. Once a session has been established, all MBFT specific transactions are performed by the MBFT protocol entity on behalf of the user application. + +## **I.7.7 Description of the access to the MBFT service provider** + +### **I.7.7.1 Service initialization** + +#### **I.7.7.1.1 Creation of a T.127 MBFT service access point with *x\_open()*** + +A communication endpoint accessing the T.127 MBFT service provider is created when calling the *x\_open()* function with an appropriate service provider identification string. The available identifiers depend on the actual system configuration. In the standard configuration, "**X\_T.127\_MBFT**" identifies the T.127 MBFT protocol module. + +#### **I.7.7.1.2 Activation of a T.127 MBFT service access point with *x\_bind()*** + +*x\_bind()* is to be called to activate the T.127 MBFT service endpoint. The function has the task to bind the application's own address to the service endpoint. + +In the standard configuration, if "**X\_T.127\_MBFT**" was selected in the *x\_open()* function, a suitable conference system, for example "**X\_T.120\_CONF\_ISDN**" has to be specified as argument of the *x\_bind()* function in order to complete the service provider's protocol stack. + +Figure I.7-1 illustrates the protocol modules contained in **X\_T.120\_CONF\_PRO**. + +#### **I.7.7.1.3 Addresses** + +Prior to connecting an application to a conference, the user has to become a participant within a conference. The address information, which is needed to identify a node within a conference is handled in this early phase (i.e. in the phase of creating or joining a conference). Therefore, binding the application's own address to the service endpoint will rely on this information. + +#### I.7.7.1.3.1 Specification of the application's own address + +No specific address is in use when activating the service endpoint. + +No other parameters are needed. + +It is strongly recommended to trust in the XAPI configuration and not to specify the own address or other parameters in the *x\_bind()* call. + +#### I.7.7.1.3.2 The address of the communication partner + +This parameter has been provided by the conference connection establishment phase [T.124]. + +#### I.7.7.1.4 Configuration of the service provider + +Protocol options are used to control the general behaviour of the service provider. There is a default value defined for each option. These preconfigured values are sufficient for the majority of communication relations. + +XAPI enables applications to express their wishes about the settings of protocol options by using the XAPI function *x\_optmgmt()*. + +Tables I.7-1 to I.7-8 define the protocol options. + +**Table I.7-1/T.180** + +| | | +|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Option name | X_MBF_O_M_TYPE | +| Type of value | unsigned long | +| Legal values | X_MBF_OV_RCV_ONLY File Receive Only MBFT Protocol module

These services describe the communication between two OSI application entities, namely an invoking (or client) application entity, a performing (or server) application entity and their usage of remote operation services. + +The application entities will first establish an application association and then, in the connected state, will use remote operations for communication purposes. + +ACSE provides the elements that are used to manage the establishment and release of an application association. The association control service is provided by the service primitives: + +- A-ASSOCIATE request/indication/response/confirmation; +- A-RELEASE request/indication/response/confirmation; +- A-ABORT request/indication; +- A-P-ABORT indication. + +Recommendation X.227 specifies the protocol for the ACSE.

The address to be used to identify the peer entity (called address) is the tuple of (Presentation-selector, Session-selector, Transport-selector, NSAP Address), where the selectors are optional depending on the peer's requirements. + +x\_conreq + +- Fd-AR-client, +- Called address (see above), user data, protocol parameters (see below), +- xerror. + +The protocol parameters are listed below (list not complete). For brevity, only those parameters are listed which apply for the Request primitive and which are mandatory for this primitive. + +- X\_ACS\_P\_APP\_CTXT: This parameter identifies the application context. In the Response or Confirmation primitive either the same or a different application context is returned. +- X\_ACS\_P\_CTXT\_ID: This parameter identifies the presentation context identification. +- X\_ACS\_P\_AS: This parameter indicates the abstract syntax name. +- X\_ACS\_P\_SUR: This parameter indicates the session user requirements. + +ROSE defines five different Operation Classes which classify operations according to two possible operation modes (synchronous and asynchronous). The Association Class defines which ROSE user is allowed to invoke operations. The Operation Class and Association Class have to be agreed between ROSE users. It is not part of the ROSE provider to negotiate these features. OSI Applications making use of ROSE (e.g. DTAM, MHS) define which Operation Class and Association Class are allowed within a specific application. + +Due to the fact that there is no negotiation of Operation and Association Classes within the ROSE provider, the parameters Invoke-Id (to identify an operation and to correlate the request of an invocation with its replies) and Linked-Id (in the case of a child operation to identify the parent operation) can not be examined by ROSE. Especially it is not controlled, if an invocation exists to an incoming reply, i.e. result, error or rejection or if the specified parent operation exists to the invocation of an child operation. + +ROSE does not define a distinct abstract syntax for the encoding of its PDUs. Instead, it provides a set of abstract syntax definitions that are used by the application making use of ROSE. Therefore, the service user must inform the service provider which abstract syntax are used within the ROSE PDUs. To support this feature, each ROSE service primitive must be provided with a service primitive parameter (X\_ROS\_P\_CTXT\_ID) that indicates the abstract syntax of the application. + +While the service endpoint used to access the provider is in the connected state, the corresponding service primitives can be passed to the provider or retrieved from the provider using the XAPI function calls x\_sndsp and x\_rcvsp. + +x\_sndsp/x\_rcvsp + +- Fd-AR-client; +- Level (identifies the protocol module which shall get the service primitive); +- Spname (e.g. RO-INVOKE); +- Sp (parameters of the service primitive (see below) and user data); +- xerror. + +The RO-INVOKE primitive is used to request the start of a remote operation. The parameters of this primitive are listed below. + +- X\_ROS\_P\_CTXT\_ID: This parameter indicates the presentation context identification of the application data of the RO-INVOKE primitive. This parameter is the presentation context identification which was negotiated in the ACSE establishment for the application. +- X\_ROS\_P\_INV\_ID: This parameter identifies the RO-INVOKE primitive and is used to correlate this primitive with the corresponding replies. +- X\_ROS\_P\_LINK\_ID: This parameter identifies a child-operation and identifies the invocation of the linked parent-operation. The value is that of the X\_ROS\_P\_INV\_ID parameter of the RO-INVOKE indication primitive of the parent-operation. +- X\_ROS\_P\_VAL\_INT: This parameter indicates the identifier of the operation to be invoked. As the identifier of the operation may either be an integer value or an object identifier, either this parameter (legal values are any integer values) or the parameter X\_ROS\_P\_VAL\_ID may be present. +- X\_ROS\_P\_VAL\_ID: This parameter indicates the identifier of the operation to be invoked.

The complex services of categories 3 (SP) and 4 (AP), both introduced in Recommendation T.190, are left for further study. + +## 5.1 Classification of complex services + +Table 1 classifies the complex services taking into account the following characteristics: + +- Granularity: Complex services working on: + - full documents; and/or + - document fragments. +- Altering, or type of operations provided: + - Altering: Information in the document is modified. + - Non-altering: Information in the document is not modified. +- Connectivity, or communicating entities relationships: + - one communicating entity associated to several communicating entities; + - several communicating entities associated to one communicating entity; + - several communicating entities associated to several communicating entities. +- Synchronization: + - Synchronous: User access to the document(s) is controlled (and serialized) by means of the complex service (normally using a token handling mechanism). + - Asynchronous: User access to the document(s) may occur in random order (and is normally managed by an application). +- Document production: + - Sequential production: A document is generated in a sequential manner, following certain rules. + - Non-sequential production: No rules are defined for the order in which different parts of a document need to be generated. + - No production: Documents are not produced with the complex service. + +- Use of the Multipoint Communication Service (MCS) (see Recommendations T.122 and T.125): + - No need: There is no need for MCS. + - Possible: MCS is useful, although other alternatives exist. + +**Table 1/T.192 – Classification of complex services** + +| | | Complex services | | | | | | +|---------------------|-----------------------------------|------------------|-----|-----|-----|-----|----| +| | Characteristics | SE | PV1 | PVn | SP1 | SPn | AP | +| Granularity | Works on full documents | | | | ✓ | ✓ | | +| | Works on document fragments | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | +| Altering | Altering operations | ✓ | | | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | +| | Non-altering operations | | ✓ | ✓ | | | | +| Connectivity | One to several comm.

Figures 1 and 2 are used for this purpose. Let $n$ be the number of users participating in a SE session, $n > 1$ . + +### 5.2.1 Description + +The SE complex service consists of the remote editing of one or more documents by several users in an interactive and synchronous manner. + +The basic principles which constitute the SE complex service are: + +- Several pre-determined users cooperate to jointly edit one or more pre-determined documents. Although every user may have a full or partial copy of a document, only one copy is designated the master copy, in which the result of the joint editing is stored. The master copy may be stored in one of the user servers. Local copies of a document can be useful to avoid data transfer overheads when some users view a document. +- One user will initiate the SE session. This user is called the initiator. +- Optionally, the initiator, or another user, may take the role of moderator of the SE session. The moderator is in charge of distributing the SE token, introduced below. +- Users communicate to a Central Service Server (CSS) or to all the other users. + +- If users communicate to a CSS, the CSS is in charge of coordinating the whole process of joint synchronous editing. The CSS takes the role of moderator of the SE session. One-to-one symmetric associations will be established between the users and the CSS. All the updates will be sent from a user to the CSS, that, in turn, will send the updates to the other users. +- If users communicate to all the other users, two communication alternatives are possible: + - Use of MCS – MCS provides interactive multipoint communication functions to the users. One one-to-several association (one MCS channel) will be established between all users. All the updates will be sent from a user to all the other users. + - Use of the Generic Conference Control (GCC) facilities (see Recommendation T.124) – GCC provides, together with MCS, interactive multipoint conferencing functions to the users. + +NOTE – A third possible communication alternative could be the use of one-to-one associations without any CSS. Then $n * (n - 1)/2$ one-to-one associations need to be established in order to allow for communication between all users. This is not specified as a solution in this Recommendation because of the high costs (e.g. a SE session with 10 users requires 45 associations with a very complicated token handling procedure). Nevertheless, some further information for this case is given in I.1.6. +- Before manipulation starts, an Initial Document Synchronization (IDS) phase is necessary, where all users get, if not yet available, the document(s) or document fragment(s) which are to be jointly edited during the SE session. +- There is no specific pre-established order in which the users access and manipulate the documents. +- A SE token exists. The SE token is used to indicate which user is next in line to manipulate a document. Only the holder of the SE token can manipulate a document at any one time, while the others optionally view. The moderator controls the SE token and distributes it according to requests of users. The moderator can be the initiator, a pre-defined specific user, the user holding the SE token (i. e. the moderator role may change during the complex service session), or the CSS, if any. +- When a user manipulates a document fragment, this operation is sent to all other users. +- Before the SE session terminates, a Final Document Synchronization (FDS) phase is necessary, where the final version of the master copy of the document(s) is validated. + +### 5.2.2 Service construction rules + +Depending on the association type, two variants of the SE complex service are considered: + +- several one-to-one associations, i.e. SE with CSS; +- one one-to-several association, i.e. SE without CSS. + +The two variants are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 respectively. Let $n$ be the number of users participating in a SE session, $n > 1$ . + +Figure 1 gives an overview of the SE complex service using a CSS. + +In this case, the SE complex service consists of the remote editing of one or more documents by several users in an interactive and synchronous manner, where $n - 1$ users communicate with an intermediate CSS, located at user 1. + +One-to-one associations are established between the $n - 1$ users and the CSS. The CSS receives the manipulation operations and sends up-dates to the rest of the users. The CSS has the moderator role, meaning that it is responsible for assigning the SE token during the SE session. + +Figure 2 gives an overview of the SE complex service without CSS. + +In this case, the SE complex service consists of the remote editing of one or more documents by several users in an interactive and synchronous manner, without any intermediate CSS, so all users intercommunicate between themselves. + +![Diagram illustrating Joint Synchronous Editing (SE) with Central Service Server (CSS).

The retrieval basic service may be used for the IDS phase. + +# 6 Document aspects concerning the SE and PV complex services + +In clause 7/T.190, document aspects of the basic services are specified. The ODA Recommendations and International Standard, ITU-T Rec. T.410 series | ISO/IEC 8613, are considered as the method for representing and interchanging documents. + +This Recommendation specifies another document aspect, i.e. the use of non-ODA documents. + +## 6.1 Non-ODA documents + +Complex services specified in this Recommendation shall be applicable to non-ODA documents. + +There are two cases of handling documents: + +- Handling of full documents: In this case, since the operations are independent from the document structure, all basic and complex services shall apply to both ODA documents and non-ODA documents. +- Handling of document fragments: In this case, a method to identify document fragments is needed in order to apply basic and complex services to non-ODA documents. + +NOTE – It is outside the scope of this Recommendation to specify such an identification mechanism. The European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS), that is planned to be replaced by the ISSS (Information Society Standardization System), a CEN division, in September 1997, is working on the definition of a Generic Abstract Interface allowing manipulation of any kind of document. + +In case of working on non-ODA documents, the document format shall be specified following the rules given in 8.1.5, 8.3.2 and Annex A. More information is given in I.1.3. + +# **7 Communication aspects concerning the SE and PV complex services** + +In addition to the communication modules described in clause 8/T.190, the following communication modules are needed to specify document communication complex services: + +- combined DTAM-DM and DTAM-TK (DTAM-DM/TK); +- Multipoint Communication Service (MCS); +- Generic Conference Control (GCC). + +## **7.1 Combined DTAM-DM and DTAM-TK (DTAM-DM/TK)** + +### **7.1.1 Description** + +The DTAM-DM communication module is described in 8.4/T.190. The DTAM-TK communication module is described in 8.5/T.190. + +In addition to this, a combined DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK communication module exists, that allows a symmetric communication for remote document manipulation of documents, combined with a token interchange capability in order to synchronize the communicating entities. + +All the features of DTAM-DM and DTAM-TK apply. + +### **7.1.2 Services, protocols and profiles** + +The DTAM-DM symmetric abstract services are contained in the DTAM-DM-SYM application service element. The DTAM-TK abstract services are contained in the DTAM-TK application service element. Both application service elements and their combined use are specified in Recommendation T.435. + +The combined DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK protocol is specified in Recommendation T.436. This protocol makes use of the Association Control Service Element (ACSE), the Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) and the presentation service. + +The profiles AOD11, AOD12 and AOD13, as specified in 8.4.2/T.190, also apply to this communication module. + +The basicReadOnlyLevel is one of the manipulation levels which can be indicated in the arguments of the abstract DTAM bind operation, as specified in 8.1/T.435. + +### **7.1.3 Use for document communication** + +DTAM-DM/TK is used for the remote interactive symmetric manipulation of documents where a token is needed to synchronize communicating entities. + +## **7.2 Multipoint Communication Service (MCS)** + +### **7.2.1 Description** + +Multipoint Communication Service (MCS) provides a general multipoint connection-oriented data service. It collects point-to-point transport connections and combines them to form a multipoint domain. Within that domain, a large number of logical channels can provide one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one data delivery. Nodes within an MCS domain are hierarchically organized in a tree structure. Data delivery normally follows the most efficient path to the nodes that are to receive the data, but a mechanism is also provided to guarantee that data from multiple source nodes is received in the same sequence at all nodes. MCS acts as a resource provider to the layers above, providing channels and token resources on demand. A large number of tokens are provided for applications to use for coordinating events and processes. + +### **7.2.2 Services, protocols and profiles** + +The MCS service and protocol are specified in Recommendations T.122 and T.125, respectively. + +Although the MCS is located at the OSI application layer, in the case of the basic mode profile, it works directly on top of the transport layer. + +No profile for MCS is fully specified for the moment. + +NOTE – Although no profile for MCS has still been approved, work for the definition of profiles for MCS is progressing very fast in ITU-T SG 16. Furthermore, EWOS (ISSS after September 1997) has started work on the definition of a taxonomy of profiles for MCS, taking into account the requirements of this Recommendation. + +### **7.2.3 Use for document communication** + +The MCS communication module is used to provide, when needed, the multipoint communication function to other interactive document communication modules, such as DTAM-DM or DFR modules. For this reason, it is different from the others. + +In order to incorporate MCS into the interactive document communication modules based on one-to-one associations, those modules need some extensions. + +The basic idea of the extensions is to change or remove the bind and unbind operations in order to handle MCS instead of ACSE, and to use Multipoint Remote Procedure Call (M-RPC), introduced later, instead of ROSE. + +NOTE 1 – These extensions are not yet specified. There is a first proposal from ITU-T SG 8 for Multipoint DTAM-DM (M-DTAM-DM) (see II.2.3). + +M-RPC is a new application service element that consists of the current ROSE with the added capability to send the data to multiple recipients through the use of MCS. Basically, the only change is to use MCS-SEND-DATA primitives instead of P-DATA ones. + +NOTE 2 – The M-RPC service and protocol are not yet specified. There is a first proposal from ITU-T SG 8 (see II.2.3). + +## **7.3 Generic Conference Control (GCC)** + +### **7.3.1 Description** + +Generic Conference Control (GCC) provides a set of services for setting up and managing multipoint conferences. It provides access control and arbitration of capabilities. GCC facilities are used by applications to coordinate independent use of the MCS channels and tokens within the same multipoint domain. Nodes can join and leave meetings at any time and GCC facilities can be used to query a node to find a desired meeting. GCC also makes a centralized registry facility available to applications in order to identify dynamically assigned channels and tokens. + +### **7.3.2 Services, protocols and profiles** + +The GCC service and protocol are specified in Recommendation T.124. + +GCC defines a service on top of MCS, and is intended to be used by specific applications, such as: + +- still image conferencing; +- multipoint binary file transfer; +- other private applications. + +These applications using GCC may also make direct use of MCS at the same time. The GCC Recommendation details how the MCS primitives are used. + +No profile for GCC is fully specified for the moment. + +NOTE – Although no profile for GCC has still been approved, work for the definition of profiles for GCC is progressing very fast in ITU-T SG 16. Furthermore, EWOS (ISSS after September 1997) is studying the possibility to develop a taxonomy of profiles for GCC, taking into account the requirements of this Recommendation. + +### 7.3.3 Use for document communication + +The GCC communication module is used to provide, when needed, conferencing functions to other interactive document communication modules, such as DTAM-DM or DFR modules. For this reason, it is, as MCS, different from the others. + +In order to combine GCC with interactive document communication modules based on one-to-one associations, those modules need some extensions similar to those described in 7.2.3. + +# 8 Components and design rules for the SE and PV complex services + +This clause provides a common base for the formal definition of complex services. It provides the rules to make such a formal definition. + +Complex services perform operations on service objects by using communication modules. Service objects are document stores, documents, document fragments, communicating entities and communication links. Some objects are more related to document aspects, others are related to communication aspects, and others are related to implementation aspects. + +Services are specified in terms of attributes, which describe their features. Attributes take values from a well-defined set of attribute values. + +Three service attribute sets are defined: + +- document related service attributes; +- communication related service attributes; +- implementation related service attributes. + +For each attribute set, all attributes and their values are described. Throughout the text of this Recommendation, the names of service attributes are embedded in quotation marks, i.e. "attribute-name", and the values of service attributes are embedded in apostrophes, i.e. 'attribute-value'. + +If the attribute "example-attribute" takes the value 'example-value', the following notation is used: + +"example-attribute" equals 'example-value'. + +Subclause 8.4 defines the way in which the attribute values are assigned to the document, communication and implementation related attributes for the specification of complex services. + +Rules for the selection and restriction of the communication modules, which shall be used by the complex services, are also specified. + +Finally, application rules are provided, which may include further dynamic constraints on operations of the selected and restricted communication module when applying the complex services in communication applications. + +## 8.1 Definition of document related service attributes + +This subclause defines the document related service attribute set. + +The document related service attributes are: + +- "document location"; +- "document copies"; +- "document access rights"; +- "store access rights"; + +- "document format"; +- "functionality level"; +- "document access order". + +Some of these document related attributes are the same as in 9.1/T.190.

The value 'one-to-several' is defined as in 9.2/T.190. The value 'several-to-one' means that several communicating entities are accessing only one communicating entity. The value 'several-to-several' means that several communicating entities are accessing more than one communicating entity. + +### 8.2.2 The service attribute "communication type" + +This service attribute is defined as in 9.2/T.190. + +### 8.2.3 The service attribute "communication module" + +This service attribute specifies the communication module which is used by the service to carry out the communication process. + +The service attribute "communication module" may take one of the following values, with the exceptions given below: + +- 'DFR'; +- 'DTAM-BT-NM'; +- 'DTAM-DM'; +- 'DTAM-DM/TK'; +- 'DFR/DTAM-DM'; +- 'MHS'; +- 'MCS'; +- 'GCC'. + +The value 'DTAM-TK' has been deleted because, in complex services, the DTAM-TK module is always used in combination with other modules. + +The values 'DFR', 'DTAM-BT-NM', 'DTAM-DM', 'DFR/DTAM-DM' and 'MHS' are defined as in 9.2/T.190. + +In case of "communication module" equals 'DTAM-DM/TK', the communication module DTAM-DM/TK shall be used. + +In case of "communication module" equals 'MCS' or 'GCC', a second value from the rest of possible values is needed. + +In case of "communication module" equals 'MCS', the communication module MCS shall be used in combination with a module from any other value except 'GCC'. + +In case of "communication module" equals 'GCC', the communication module GCC shall be used in combination with a module from any other value except 'MCS'. + +NOTE – Although the GCC communication module is always used in combination with the MCS module (see 7.3), this is assumed in this Specification.

In this case, the communication modules used by those basic services are not included in the list of values. + +### 8.2.4 The service attribute "association" + +This service attribute specifies the kind of association to be used. + +The service attribute "association" may take one of the following values: + +- 'one-to-one'; +- 'one-to-several'. + +The value 'one-to-one' shall be used if a communicating entity is connected with only one other entity, otherwise the value 'one-to-several' shall be used. + +### 8.2.5 The service attribute "synchronization" + +This service attribute specifies if the complex service is synchronous or not. + +The service attribute "synchronization" may take one of the following values: + +- 'synchronous'; +- 'asynchronous'. + +The value 'synchronous' shall be used if user access to the document(s) is controlled (and serialized) by means of the complex service, normally using a token handling mechanism. Otherwise, i.e. if user access to the document(s) may occur in random order, the value 'asynchronous' shall be used. + +### **8.2.6 The service attribute "conference type"** + +This service attribute specifies the type of conference that the complex service will follow, in relation to the use of special conferencing capabilities, like those provided by GCC (see 7.3). + +The service attribute "conference type" may take one of the following values: + +- 'fixed'; +- 'flexible'. + +If special conferencing capabilities are used, then the attribute value shall equal 'flexible'. If not, the value 'fixed' shall be used. + +## **8.3 Definition of implementation related service attributes** + +This subclause defines the implementation related service attribute set. + +The implementation related service attributes are: + +- "basic services"; +- "static information". + +All these attributes are specific for complex services. + +The following subclauses describe the meaning of the attributes, their values and the meaning of those values. + +### **8.3.1 The service attribute "basic services"** + +This service attribute gives a list of the basic services used for the implementation of the complex service, if any. + +The service attribute "basic services" may take zero or more of the following values: + +- 'STR'; +- 'DST'; +- 'RTR'; +- 'SAR'; +- 'MNP'; +- 'PNT'; +- 'MPT'; +- 'TKI'. + +The value 'STR' shall be used when the storing basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'DST' shall be used when the distribution basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'RTR' shall be used when the retrieval basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'SAR' shall be used when the storing-and-retrieval basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'MNP' shall be used when the manipulation basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'PNT' shall be used when the pointing basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'MPT' shall be used when the multi-pointing basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service; the value 'TKI' shall be used when the token-interchange basic service is needed for the implementation of the complex service. + +This is a multi-valued attribute. + +The basic services are specified in Recommendation T.190. + +### 8.3.2 The service attribute "static information" + +This service attribute identifies the static information that an implementation of the complex service needs. This static information is interchanged during the establishment of the complex service session. + +The service attribute "static information" may take zero or more of the following values: + +- 'user-ids'; +- 'doc-ids'; +- 'non-ODA-format'; +- 'moderator-id'. + +The value 'user-ids' shall be used when identification of the users is needed to perform the complex service; the value 'doc-ids' shall be used when identification of one or more documents (and identification of the sites in which their corresponding master copies are) in which to work is needed to perform the complex service; the value 'non-ODA-format' shall be used when the value of the attribute "document format" equals 'non-ODA' in order to identify the document format used; the value 'moderator-id' shall be used when identification of the user that will take the role of moderator is needed to perform the complex service.

Then, QOS is related to the services as far as it is related to the involved communication modules. + +For more details see II.1.3/T.190. + +### **I.1.2 Security** + +Security can be achieved by administrative, logical or physical means. Only logical means are considered by this Recommendation, and should be provided mainly by the communication modules. + +The complex service session specified in this Recommendation needs some minimum security. From a logical point of view, in the case where MCS (with or without GCC) is used, the security is based on the fact that only one MCS domain is created for the closed group of users, the security mechanisms should therefore be put on that phase of the complex service session. + +Additional information is contained in II.1.4/T.190. + +### **I.1.3 Handling documents in non-ODA formats** + +This Recommendation clearly indicates in clause 6 that non-ODA documents can be used in the document communication services specified. For manipulating inside documents, a location model and an abstract interface for manipulation is needed. This is already available in ODA and some proprietary formats. Although the solution of mapping to ODA is always possible, standardization efforts are being made to specify a generic abstract interface for manipulation of documents able to work on any kind of document (see II.1.1). + +When the documents involved in the complex service session are not in ODA format, it is necessary to know which format is used. + +There are two attributes related to this concept. First, the "document format" attribute, that includes the value 'non-ODA'. In the case where this value is selected, a second attribute, "static information" includes the value 'non-ODA-format', meaning that the format of the document (the non-ODA format) needs to be specified and interchanged in the initial phases of the complex service session, as specified in the application rules. + +In this annex, it is stated that the non-ODA format is represented as an OCTET STRING. This is clearly a simplification. However, an OCTET STRING can always be the coding of a different ASN.1 value giving a better representation. Nevertheless, codes to identify other standard and proprietary document formats defined elsewhere can be used here. + +The minimum classification could be to distinguish between processable and final-form documents. + +### **I.1.4 Complex services token distribution** + +Some of the specified complex services need a token that controls who can manipulate or present a document. The complex service token is distributed by the moderator or a Central Service Server (CSS), if any. + +When no CSS is used, the moderator is selected by the initiator, and it is indicated in one of the static information values. The criteria to assign the moderator role are out of the scope of this Recommendation. + +Furthermore, criteria for token distribution, that could be done by software or by human being decision, are also outside of the scope of this Recommendation. + +### **I.1.5 Steps coordination in MCS** + +When using MCS, there is a need to know when all involved users have completed every step. In particular, it would be convenient to start the MUA step when all users have finished the MDE step, to start the MCJ step when all users have completed the MUA step, to start the IDS step when all users have finished the MCJ step, and, even more important, to start the O step when all users have completed the IDS step and to know when the O step has finished. + +For this purpose, there are several solutions, such as use of tokens or interchange of checking messages. + +As a reference, a solution based on the use of MCS tokens is outlined in the following. + +After every user has completed the IDS step, the user shall inhibit a MCS token. The initiator will not start an O step until the initiator has checked that all the users have inhibited the token. + +In order for the initiator to identify which user has not inhibited the token, all users may send also a MCS-SEND-DATA primitive informing about the correspondence between their MCS user id and complex service user id. + +When the moderator decides to finish a complex service session, the moderator shall grab a second MCS token. The rest of users may recognize that the session has finished by checking if that token has been grabbed. + +### **I.1.6 Alternative implementation to the CSS** + +For one-to-one associations, this Recommendation specifies the need of a Central Service Server (CSS) to coordinate the associations and the token, if any. + +In case one-to-one associations are used without a CSS, it is necessary to establish one-to-one associations between all the pairs of users, since no user takes the role of coordinator (as the CSS did). If the number of users ( $n$ ) is big, then many associations $[n * (n - 1)/2]$ are needed. + +To send up-dates or point operations when all the associations have been established is not difficult. The main problem is to handle the complex service token. All the established DTAM associations have their own DTAM token, even those not implied in a specific interchange of up-dates (when, for example, user U1 is sending up-dates to users U2 and U3, the association between user U2 and U3 is inactive, and where the token is between U2 and U3 is irrelevant, until the token is given to another user). There is no means of knowing to whom the token has been given by the moderator, unless this is explicitly informed to all the users using an external mechanism. + +### **I.1.7 Leaving the session** + +This Specification assumes that all users leave the SE or PV sessions just at their end. However, it might be sensible to leave before termination. So, implementations could choose to provide this option. + +There are a few cases in which simply leaving the session before it finishes should not be allowed: + +- The user has any exclusive tokens. +- The user is the moderator of the service. +- The user has some modifications of the documents that have not been reported to the rest of the users. +- There are only two users left. In this case the service is meaningless with only one user. + +### **I.1.8 Handling of error situations** + +This Specification does not consider the case in which an error occurs. Examples of errors are: + +- waiting for a primitive that never arrives; +- disconnection of the holder of the token; +- disconnection of the moderator, etc. + +Implementations should take this into account by taking the appropriate measures, like including timers, forbidding specific actions, etc. + +In general, the error handling and recovery mechanisms provided in the used base standards should be followed. If they do not exist or are not enough, then the application should include them. + +## **I.2 Specific implementation hints for the SE complex service** + +There are three alternatives for the implementation of the joint Synchronous Editing (SE) complex service: + +- use of GCC; +- use of MCS; +- use of one-to-one associations with a Central Service Server (CSS). + +If GCC is available in all users, this is the recommended implementation. + +If GCC is not available and MCS is available, then the use of MCS is recommended. + +The last option is to use the CSS. Nevertheless, the use of CSS is a simple solution when complex communication modules, like MCS or GCC, are not available. + +## **I.3 Specific implementation hints for the PV1 complex service** + +There are three alternatives for the implementation of the joint Presentation/Viewing with one presenter (PV1) complex service: + +- use of GCC; +- use of MCS; +- use of one-to-one associations with a Central Service Server (CSS). + +If GCC is available in all users, this is the recommended implementation. + +If GCC is not available and MCS is available, then the use of MCS is recommended. + +The last option is to use the CSS. Nevertheless, the use of CSS is a simple solution when complex communication modules, like MCS or GCC, are not available. + +Since no token interchange is needed, and all the process is controlled by one user, the use of CSS might be the best solution for a few users. + +**I.4 Specific implementation hints for the PVn complex service** + +There are three alternatives for the implementation of the joint Presentation/Viewing with n presenters (PVn) complex service: + +- use of GCC; + +- use of MCS; + +- use of one-to-one associations with a Central Service Server (CSS). + +If GCC is available in all users, this is the recommended implementation. + +If GCC is not available and MCS is available, then the use of MCS is recommended. + +The last option is to use the CSS. Nevertheless, the use of CSS is a simple solution when complex communication modules, like MCS or GCC, are not available. + +**Appendix II** + +**Bibliography** + +For the purposes of this Recommendation, the following bibliography provides additional source information about document and communication architectures, so far as they are relevant to this Recommendation. + +**II.1 Document architectures** + +**II.1.1 Generic Abstract Interface** + +- EWOS EG SMMI 96/085 (1996): *Contribution to the topic Generic Abstract Interface for the manipulation of documents*, J.

This Recommendation describes a Facsimile DCE that includes physical and data layer functions. The corresponding DTE must implement the T.30 session protocol, and any necessary higher layer functions, such as Recommendations T.4, T.6 or T.434. + +## **KEYWORDS** + +Class 1; DCE; Group 3 Facsimile; Modem; Programmable Communications Interface. + +## **ASYNCHRONOUS FACSIMILE DCE CONTROL – SERVICE CLASS 1** + +*(Geneva, 1995)* + +# **1 Introduction and scope** + +## **1.1 Facsimile terminals** + +Group 3 facsimile machines were developed for sending digitized documents over the General Switched Telephone Network (GSTN). These facsimile terminals are now in widespread use around the world. + +The operation of Group 3 facsimile terminals has been standardized in Recommendations T.4, T.6 and T.30. + +## **1.2 Facsimile DCE** + +There are two types of adapters which allow Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) to communicate as Group 3 facsimile terminals. Some of these adapters are installed inside the DTE, on the processor bus; these are called “FAX boards”. Others are configured as an external “facsimile DCE”, connected to the DTE by a standard serial port (e.g. Recommendation V.24), using serial data interchange, as defined in Recommendation V.4. + +## **1.3 Scope** + +This Recommendation contains protocols for use between a DTE and a Facsimile DCE. It includes automatic calling and answering. + +This Recommendation defines the commands that the DTE may issue to configure and control the DCE, and the responses the facsimile DCE may issue to those commands. + +This Recommendation is useful for intelligent DTEs and DTE software, facsimile DCEs, and facsimile terminals with digital connection to DTEs. + +This Recommendation assumes that the DTE and DCE are connected via serial asynchronous connection using V.24 circuits. However, the protocols defined may be implemented in any environment that provide a character serial bidirectional data stream, including processor bus attached “fax boards”, local area networks, Small Computer Systems Interface (ISO 9316), IEEE 1284 parallel ports, etc. The adaptation of the protocols and procedures to these alternative communication schemes is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +## **1.4 Overview** + +A system including a DTE and a facsimile DCE partitions Group 3 facsimile functions between the two devices. There are several levels in the communications path where a functional partition can be made. This Recommendation describes protocols for use at one of those levels, Service Class 1. Each level is described as a “Service Class” based on the functions performed by the DCE. + +### **1.4.1 Service Class 1** + +Clause 7 describes a set of services at the physical and data link layers: waiting, signalling, and HDLC data formatting. T.30 session management and T.4 image data handling are done by the DTE. + +### **1.4.2 Service Class 2** + +Recommendation T.32, Asynchronous Facsimile DCE Control, Service Class 2, describes a facsimile DCE which provides a set of services described by Recommendation T.30. The facsimile DCE makes and terminates calls, manages the communication session, and transports image data. The DTE prepares and interprets image data in compressed form, as described in Recommendation T.4. + +# 2 Normative references + +The following ITU-T Recommendations, and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

In practice, these are computers of any size. + +**3.2 DCE, Data Circuit Terminating Equipment:** A DCE is any device that connects a DTE to a communications network. This Recommendation focuses on DCEs which connect to the General Switched Telephone Network (GSTN). This class of DCEs includes DCEs compatible with the V-Series modem Recommendations and facsimile DCEs described below. + +**3.3 Facsimile DCE:** A facsimile DCE is a device which provides facsimile communication facilities between a DTE and the GSTN. A Class 1 facsimile DCE includes the following functions: + +- control functions; +- interchange circuits to the DTE; +- HDLC data link layer functions; +- V-Series signal converters; +- autodialler functions; +- GSTN interface. + +**3.4 Facsimile DTE:** A facsimile DTE must provide those Group 3 facsimile functions and services not provided by the facsimile DCE. The specific implementation of these functions is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +# 4 Abbreviations + +For the purposes of this Recommendation, the following abbreviations are used: + +| | | +|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| CCITT | International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee | +| IEEE | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers | +| IRA | International Reference Alphabet (Recommendation T.50) | +| ISO | International Organization for Standardization | +| ITU-T | International Telecommunication Union – Telecommunication Standardization | +| XON | IRA DC1 character, used to enable data flow on the opposite circuit | +| XOFF | IRA DC3 character, used to disable data flow on the opposite circuit | + +# 5 Facsimile DTE-DCE interchange circuits + +A facsimile DCE described by this Recommendation uses an asynchronous serial connection between the DTE and the DCE. Serial data is formatted in 10 bit character frames, including a start bit, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit (see Recommendation V.4). Use of this protocol on other DTE-DCE interfaces is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +## 5.1 DTE-DCE communication link data rates + +The DTE-facsimile DCE communications link shall provide full duplex character data at rates fast enough to accommodate the transfer of synchronous T.30 Phase C data. A data rate greater than or equal to 18000 bit/s (e.g. 19200 bit/s) is the minimum rate needed to support 14400 bit/s V.17 Phase C data. With flow control, it is not necessary, and not recommended, to change the DTE-DCE communications link data rate during facsimile operation. Mechanisms to set the DTE-DCE serial rate are described in 6.10 and 6.2.10/V.25 *ter* (IPR parameter). + +## 5.2 Asynchronous to synchronous conversion + +Group 3 data communication is bit-synchronous. The DCE must delete, start and stop elements from these characters before transmission and add them to received octets. Bit sequencing is maintained between the DTE-DCE interface and the DCE-remote station interface, as specified in Recommendations T.4 and T.30. + +## 5.3 Flow control + +Flow control is necessary to match the DTE-DCE data rate to the line signalling rate and to the requirements of Group 3 data transmission. (For example, provision must be made for minimum scan line times.) Provision of in-band unidirectional DC1/DC3 (T.50 1/1 and 1/3) flow control is mandatory; flow control using V.24 circuits 106 and 133 is optional. + +This Recommendation specifies a mandatory command to configure DCE flow control, the +IFC command from 6.2.12/V.25 *ter*. + +The response times of the DCE to indication of a DTE not-ready condition and of the DTE to indication of a DCE not-ready condition are for further study. These times should be kept as short as practical. DCEs should accommodate latency in the DTE recognition of the DCE not-ready indication by accepting several characters on Circuit 103 after the indication is given. + +NOTE – A facsimile DCE may provide additional data buffering beyond the needs of flow control. + +## 5.4 Serial data interchange circuits + +### 5.4.1 Mandatory circuits + +The required circuits are shown in Table 1: + +TABLE 1/T.31 + +**Mandatory serial data interchange circuits** + +| V.24 circuit | Description | +|--------------|------------------| +| 102 | Signal ground | +| 103 | Transmitted data | +| 104 | Received data | + +### 5.4.2 Optional circuits + +The optional circuits are shown in Table 2: + +TABLE 2/T.31 + +**Optional serial data interchange circuits** + +| V.24 circuit | Description | +|--------------|--------------------------------------------| +| 133 | Ready for receiving | +| 105 | Request to send | +| 106 | Ready for sending | +| 107 | Data set ready | +| 108/2 | Data terminal ready | +| 109 | Data channel received line signal detector | +| 125 | Calling indicator | + +Provision of additional circuits is optional, but not addressed in this Recommendation. + +### 5.4.3 Optional circuit behaviour + +The behaviour of circuits 105, 106, and 133 is described in 6.9 and 6.2.12/V.25 *ter*. + +The behaviour of circuit 108/2 is described in 6.6. + +The behaviour of circuit 125 is described in 6.4. + +Circuit 107, if provided, shall be held in the ON condition at all times when the DCE is powered on and +FCLASS = 1.0. Manufacturers may provide an option, controlled by the AT&C command (6.2.8/V.25 *ter*), to cause Circuit 107 to obey the V.24 definition, which is for circuit 107 to be ON only when the DCE is off-hook, and OFF when the DCE is on-hook. + +Circuit 109, if provided, shall normally be held in the ON condition at all times when the DCE is powered on and +FCLASS = 1.0. Manufacturers may provide an option to cause circuit 109 to obey the definitions in the selected V-Series modem. The &C command, defined in 6.2.8/V.25 *ter*, may be used for this purpose; the &C0 setting holds circuit 109 always in the ON condition, and the &C1 setting would select the behaviour in which circuit 109 indicates the status of the selected V-Series modem. + +# 6 Autodialler services + +The protocol described in this Recommendation requires services common to those provided by serial asynchronous Automatic Calling Equipment (ACE). + +## 6.1 Command syntax + +The T.50 International Alphabet No. 5 is used for the issuance of commands and responses. Only the low order 7 bits of each character are used for commands or parameters; the high order bit is ignored. Upper case characters are equivalent to lower case characters. + +For data transmission or reception, all 8 bits are needed. + +A command line is a string of characters sent from a DTE to the facsimile DCE, while the DCE is in a command state. Command lines have a prefix, a body, and a terminator. The prefix consists of the IRA characters “AT” or “at”. The body is a string of commands restricted to printable IRA characters. Space characters (IRA 2/0) and control characters other than CR (IRA 0/13), LF (IRA 0/10) and BS (IRA 0/8) in the command string are ignored. The default terminator is the IRA character; DCE may implement the S3 register command defined in 6.2.1/V.25 *ter*. + +Characters that precede the AT prefix are ignored. + +Characters within the command line shall be parsed as commands with associated parameter values. The basic commands consist of single IRA characters, or single characters preceded by a prefix character (e.g. “&”, IRA 3/6) and followed by a numeric parameter. Missing numeric parameters are evaluated as 0. + +The commands described in this Recommendation are preceded by the “+F” characters (IRA 2/11, 4/6), and they are terminated by the “;” character (IRA 3/11) or by the command line termination character (e.g. ). The “+F” lead-in is reserved in Recommendation V.25 *ter*. + +## **6.2 Command execution** + +Upon receipt of the termination character, the DCE shall commence execution of the commands in the command line, if any. The DCE shall execute the commands in the body of the command line left-to-right. Each command is individually executed regardless of what follows on the line. If all commands execute properly, a final result code, for the final command, is issued after execution of the final command. If an invalid command is encountered, or if execution of any command results in an error, execution of the command line is terminated at that point and all subsequent commands on the line are ignored. Commands in the line prior to the error will have already been executed. + +### **6.2.1 Command execution time** + +Parameter commands are assumed to execute instantaneously; these cannot be aborted. Action commands which require time to execute (see 8.3) may be aborted while in progress, until the final result code is issued (see 6.8). + +### **6.2.2 Aborting commands** + +Commands which may be aborted are explicitly noted in the description of the command. Aborting of commands is accomplished by the transmission from the DTE to the DCE of any character, other than those explicitly required (e.g. and for flow control). A single character shall be sufficient to abort the command in progress. When such an aborting event is recognized by the DCE, it shall terminate the command in progress and return an OK result code to the DCE. + +## **6.3 Response syntax** + +This Recommendation describes two types of responses: information text and result codes. + +Information text responses shall always be preceded by the IRA characters , and followed by , unless set to some other characters by user option. If provided by the manufacturer, the S3 and S4 registers defined in 6.2.1/V.25 *ter* and 6.2.2/V.25 *ter* may be used to select the command line termination character (default ) and the response formatting character (default ). + +A facsimile DCE described by this Recommendation shall provide verbose (alphabetic) and non-verbose (numeric) format for result code responses to the DTE. A user-selectable option shall be provided to select the format; a method to do so is defined in 6.2.6/V.25 *ter*, ATV. + +In the verbose format, result code responses are preceded by the IRA characters , and followed by . In the non-verbose format, result code responses are preceded by no characters, and followed by a single . + +## **6.4 Capabilities identification and control** + +A facsimile DCE shall maintain a parameter for identification and control of facsimile services, “+FCLASS”. This parameter can be read to determine the current setting, written to change the current setting, and interrogated to determine the allowed range. This parameter is described in 8.2. + +## 6.5 Call answering + +A facsimile DCE provide for automatic and manual answering of calls. The ATA command described in 6.3.5/V.25 *ter* is recommended. + +A facsimile DCE shall generate a CED tone, as required by Recommendation T.30. Facsimile answer connect actions are specified in 7.1.1. + +NOTE – The use of other signalling conventions in place of CED (e.g. the ANSam signal from Recommendation V.8) is for future study. The DCE may indicate incoming calls on V.24 Circuit 125, or using the RING result code (see 6.8), or both. + +## 6.6 Call origination + +A facsimile DCE shall provide for automatic and manual origination of calls. The ATD command described in 6.3.1/V.25 *ter* is recommended. + +A facsimile DCE shall generate a CNG tone, as described by Recommendation T.30. Facsimile origination connect actions are specified in 7.1.2. + +NOTE – The use of other signalling conventions in place of or in addition to CNG (e.g. the CI signal from Recommendation V.8) is for future study. + +## 6.7 Call termination + +A facsimile DCE described by this Recommendation shall provide for automatic and manual termination of calls. An ON-to-OFF transition of V.24 Circuit 108/2, if provided, shall cause the DCE to disconnect the call and go on-hook, unless configured otherwise by the user (see 6.2.9/V.25 *ter*, AT&D). The ATH command described in 6.3.6/V.25 *ter* is recommended. + +## 6.8 Result codes + +See Table 3. + +TABLE 3/T.31 + +### Mandatory autodialler result codes + +| Numeric | Verbose | Description | +|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 0 | OK | The previous command or operation was completed normally; the DCE is ready for another command | +| 1 | CONNECT | The DCE has entered the data transfer state | +| 3 | NO CARRIER | The DCE has detected the loss of carrier from the remote facsimile terminal during a reception operation.

A facsimile DCE may also implement other types of flow control, such as V.24 Circuits 106 and 133. The DCE shall support the +IFC command from 6.2.12/V.25 *ter*. The DCE shall also support the +FLO command (Annex A). + +## 6.10 Serial port speed control + +The DCE may detect the DTE-DCE serial port data rate based on the “AT” or “at” command line prefix. Otherwise, the DCE may require a fixed serial port rate determined by the manufacturer, by user strap option, or by an explicit command. The DCE shall support the +IPR command, 6.2.10/V.25 *ter*. The DCE shall also support the +FPR command (Annex A). + +## 6.11 Transparent data commands + +A Service Class 2 Facsimile DCE transfers Phase C data in streams while executing data transfer commands (+FDT, see 8.3.3; +FDR, see 8.3.4). A Facsimile DCE shall recognize transparent data stream commands in transmitted data, and it shall insert transparent data stream commands into received data. This method is based on ISO 2111. + +The T.50 character (1/0) is used as a special character, to precede command characters. Character pairs are used to mark the end of data, and to convey other commands or status information between DTE and DCE. These characters are octet-aligned. Character pairs used are summarized in Table 4. The following example patterns are used: + +TABLE 4/T.31 + +**Transparent data commands** + +| Data stream | Definition | +|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| +| Any data... | End of stream | +| Any data... ... | Single 1/0 in data stream | +| Any data... ... | Two consecutive 1/0 1/0 in data stream, if +FDD = 1 (see 8.5.3) | +| Any data... | Remove , and interpret if valid | +| NOTE – The use of new valid transparent data commands, in addition to those defined in Table 4, is for future study. | | + +### 6.11.1 DTE to DCE streams + +The DCE shall decode the data stream from the DTE, and remove all character pairs beginning with .

If the +FDD = 1, the DCE may also replace consecutive pairs of <10h> <10h> by . + +# 7 Facsimile Service Class 1 + +A Service Class 1 facsimile DCE provides a basic level of services necessary to support Group 3 facsimile operation. This requires support from the facsimile DTE to implement the T.30 recommended procedures for document facsimile transmission and Recommendation T.4 for representing facsimile images. + +Service Class 1 includes the following services, as required or optional in Group 3 facsimile: + +- a) connection; +- b) waiting and silence detection; +- c) data transmission and reception; +- d) HDLC data framing, transparency and error detection; +- e) message generation. + +## 7.1 Connection establishment + +### 7.1.1 Answer connection + +The DCE must be set for Service Class 1 operation prior to answering a call; this can be done by setting +FCLASS = 1.0 (see 8.2.3). + +After the call is answered, (see 6.3.5/V.25 *ter*) an answering Service Class 1 facsimile DCE generates a CED tone as described in 6.5. Then it enters clause 2/V.21 transmit state with HDLC framing, as described for the +FTH = 3 command (see 8.3.5), and issues a CONNECT result code. The DTE shall then begin transmission of the first T.30 control frame. As per Recommendation T.30, for proper interaction with manually originated facsimile stations, detection of CNG is not required. The DCE manufacturer may provide a user-setable parameter to cause the DCE to abandon the call if no CED or DIS is received within a specified time (see S7, 6.3.10/V.25 *ter*). + +NOTE – The use of other signalling conventions in place of or in addition to CED and clause 2/V.21 (e.g. V.8 call negotiation signals, and the V.34 modem carrier) is for future study. + +### 7.1.2 Originate connection + +The DCE must be set for Service Class 1 operation prior to originating a call; this can be done by setting +FCLASS = 1.0. + +After the call is placed (see 6.3.1/V.25 *ter*), an originating Service Class 1 facsimile DCE shall generate a CNG tone as described in 6.6. Then it enters clause 2/V.21 receive state with HDLC framing, as described for the +FRH = 3 command (see 8.3.6). The DTE should be prepared to accept the first T.30 control frame. As per Recommendation T.30, for proper interaction with manually answered facsimile stations, detection of CED should not be required. The DCE manufacturer may provide a user-setable parameter to cause the DCE to abandon the call if no CED or DIS is received within a specified time (see S7, 6.3.10/V.25 *ter*). + +NOTE – The use of other signalling conventions in place of CNG and clause 2/V.21 (e.g. V.8 call negotiation signals, and the V.34 modem carrier) is for future study. + +## 7.2 Waiting and silence detection + +These commands are used to implement signalling delineation as required in 5.3.2.3/T.30, and Notes 3 and 4 in clause 5/T.30 and the “signal gone” test required in 5.2/T.30. + +### 7.2.1 Waiting + +A Service Class 1 facsimile DCE can be commanded to pause with an idle line, using the +FTS = > + +The following subclauses use test values to show all the calculations used in procREGxy: + +#### C.6.4.2 Calculations at X to derive MPx + +MPx = (UINx, UCNx & IDx & IDy){HKM+1}[UCNx & IDx & IDy] + +##### C.6.4.2.1 Preliminary calculations with the primitives (UINx, UCNx & IDx & IDy) + +UINx = 345092978336094172898029844342879120988727823781 + +UCNx = 1333908734565521 + +IDx = 642092 + +IDy = 538249 + +A 64-digit Primitive is formed by concatenating UINx and UCNx. + +Primitive = 3450929783360941728980298443428791209887278237811333908734565521 + +This primitive is split into two 32 digit numbers, 9 phase primitive values [P(0) to P(8)] are derived from the first number and 9 base primitive values [B(0) to B(8)] are derived from the second number.

Example calculations using test values are given in D.3. The calculations can be used to verify the implementation of this Annex. + +The HFX40 carrier cipher is intended to be applicable for use with all types of dedicated facsimile terminals but is also equally applicable to computer-based facsimile systems. + +The HFX40 system is based upon the use of 19 system prime numbers. These same 19 prime numbers are used also with the HKM key management system which is defined in Annex C and the message integrity hash algorithm which is described in Annex E. However, this Annex does not cover the key management system, nor the main message integrity hash algorithm. + +Example calculations are given in D.3 and these can be used to verify the implementation of this Annex. + +The HFX40 system is covered by intellectual property rights; however, the owner of those rights has agreed to follow the TSB code of practice. Further details can be obtained from the TSB. + +## **D.2 Description of the HFX40 algorithm for use with facsimile terminals in secure mode** + +The HFX40 algorithm is used to provide message confidentiality using encryption. The algorithm uses a secret key to provide the input numbers for modular arithmetical calculations. The moduli for the modular arithmetic are provided by a selection of 3 primes made from a set of 19 system modulating prime numbers stored in the facsimile terminal. This set of prime numbers is the same as that used by the HKM key management system (Annex C) and the HFX40-I message integrity system (Annex E). + +The output of the modular arithmetical processes are long PRSs that are used to encrypt the compressed facsimile message. Only by possessing the secret encryption key is it possible to recreate the message. + +The HFX40 algorithm uses a 12-decimal digit key, approximately equivalent to a key length of 40 bits. + +The key management procedures are detailed in Annex C. + +If mutual registration has been carried out between X and Y, the secure mode can be used to establish mutual authentication of X and Y, following which SSx can be generated at X and transferred securely to Y. If registration has not been carried out, the override mode (see Recommendation T.30) can be used to allow the users at X and Y to manually enter a pre-agreed secret session key to form SSx. + +X uses SSx with the HFX40 algorithm to generate three (mod 2) PRSs which are stored as entries in 3 tables, referred to as tables P, Q and R. The number of entries in each table is different. Table P is generated with 1021 entries, table Q with 1019 entries and table R with 1013 entries. + +The last 4 entries in each table are used to form a multiplexer to modify the table entries as the message is encrypted and the shortened tables are used to encrypt the message. Table P is now 1017 entries, table Q is 1015 entries and table R is 1009 entries + +The first bit of the compressed facsimile message is added (mod 2) to the addition (mod 2) of the bits in the first entries of the tables P, Q and R to form the first bit of the encrypted message. After each message bit has been processed, the corresponding P, Q and R table entries are modified based upon the entries in the multiplexer. The modification in each table is an interchange of the table entry with an entry in the multiplexer which is determined by the entries in the other two tables. + +The entry in table P interchanges with the multiplexer entry determined by tables Q and R. + +The entry in table Q interchanges with the multiplexer entry determined by tables R and P. + +The entry in table R interchanges with the multiplexer entry determined by tables P and Q. + +Note, the order has significance. + +The second bit of the main message is processed in a similar way with the bits in the second entries in the tables. The new multiplexer formed by the interchange of the first entries in the tables is then used to interchange with the second entries in the tables. + +The above procedure is followed for each of the message bits. When in table R entry 1009 has been used, the first (modified) entry is the next to be used. The procedure then continues with the new entries. Similarly, tables P and Q "restart" after entries 1017 and 1015 respectively. + +The encrypted message is then sent to Y. Y uses the same SSx with the HFX40 algorithm to generate the identical tables and modifying multiplexer; subtracting the (mod 2) addition of the entries in the tables from the encrypted message to recover the original compressed facsimile message. The SSx used by Y is either transferred securely from X in the secure mode or is formed from the pre-agreed session key entered manually by the user at Y in the override mode. + +## **D.3 Example calculations for the HFX40 algorithm** + +### **D.3.1 Introduction** + +This subclause describes the HFX40 algorithm in terms of the numbers to be stored and the rules for the computations carried out using these numbers to generate the PRSs which are used to encrypt the compressed facsimile message.

SSx is split into four groups of 3 digits. The first 2 groups of three digits, g1 and g2, are XOR'd to form a third group g3. The second 2 groups of 3 digits, g4 and g5, are XOR'd to form a sixth group, g6. 1024 is added to groups g1 to g3 to form P(0) to P(2) and to groups g4 to g6 to form B(0) to B(2). This procedure is shown below using a numerical example. + +SSx for this example is 149162536496. + +| | | +|-----------------------|---------------------------| +| g1 = 149 | P(0) = 149 + 1024 = 1173 | +| g2 = 162 | P(1) = 162 + 1024 = 1186 | +| g3 = g1 XOR g2 = 55 | P(2) = 55 + 1024 = 1079 | +| g4 = 536 | B(0) = 536 + 1024 = 1560 | +| g5 = 496 | B(1) = 496 + 1024 = 1520 | +| g6 = g4 XOR g5 = 1000 | B(2) = 1000 + 1024 = 2024 | + +Three 8 digit numbers are then formed by concatenating the pairs P(0) and B(0), P(1) and B(1), and P(2) and B(2) together and modulating each number to the base 19. + +| | | | +|---------------|-------|------------------------| +| P(0) and B(0) | gives | 11731560 (mod 19) = 10 | +| P(1) and B(1) | gives | 11861520 (mod 19) = 10 | +| P(2) and B(2) | gives | 10792024 (mod 19) = 5 | + +In the list of the 19 system modulating prime numbers given in D.3.2 above, the first prime, 32603, is designated prime (0) and the last prime, 29663, prime (18). + +Using the first value, 10, obtained from P(0) and B(0), the first prime, i.e. prime (0), 32603 is interchanged with prime (10), 30803. + +Using the second value, 10, obtained from P(1) and B(1), the second prime i.e. prime (1), 32507 is interchanged with prime (10), 32603. + +Using the third value, 5, obtained from P(2) and B(2), the third prime i.e. prime (2), 32183 is exchanged with prime (5), 31607. + +This process is shown below: + +| | | | | | | | | | | | +|-------------------|---------------------|---------------------|---------------------|-------|-------|---------------------|-------|-------|-------|-------| +| Unmodified system | 32603 | 32507 | 32183 | 32003 | 31847 | 31607 | 31583 | 31547 | 31259 | | +| modulating primes | 31139 | 30803 | 30539 | 30467 | 30347 | 30323 | 30203 | 29879 | 29759 | 29663 | +| 10 | 30803 | 32507 | 32183 | 32003 | 31847 | 31607 | 31583 | 31547 | 31259 | | +| | 31139 | 32603 | 30539 | 30467 | 30347 | 30323 | 30203 | 29879 | 29759 | 29663 | +| 10 | 30803 | 32603 | 32183 | 32003 | 31847 | 31607 | 31583 | 31547 | 31259 | | +| | 31139 | 32507 | 30539 | 30467 | 30347 | 30323 | 30203 | 29879 | 29759 | 29663 | +| 5 | 30803 | 32603 | 31607 | 32003 | 31847 | 32183 | 31583 | 31547 | 31259 | | +| | 31139 | 32507 | 30539 | 30467 | 30347 | 30323 | 30203 | 29879 | 29759 | 29663 | + +### D.3.4 Calculations using HFX40 to generate 3 PRSs + +The first three primes in the final arrangement, 30803, 32603 and 31607, are used as the moduli for calculations carried out with the 3 phase and 3 base primitive values derived from SSx in D.3.3 to generate three (mod 2) PRSs to be stored in tables P, Q and R.

The first entry in table P is interchanged according to the first entries in tables Q and R, these are 1 and 1. From the "truth table", the first entry in table P is interchanged with the entry in the P column of the multiplexer which corresponds to (1, 1) in the "truth table", in this case a 0. + +The first entry in Q is interchanged with the entry in the Q column of the multiplexer corresponding to (1, 1), in this case a 1. + +Similarly the first entry in R is interchanged with the entry in the R column of the multiplexer corresponding to (1, 1), in this case a 1. + +The result of this is that the first entries in tables P, Q and R, i.e. 1, 1, 1, become 0, 1, 1 respectively.

After table R uses entry number 1009, it returns to entry number 1 (the top of the table) and continues the procedure with the table's new entries. Similarly tables Q and P, after bit numbers 1015 and 1017 respectively, "restart" at their new first entries. The procedure is continued until the complete message has been encrypted. + +The encrypted message is then sent to Y. Y uses the same SSx with the HFX40 algorithm to generate the identical tables and modifying multiplexer; subtracting the (mod 2) addition of the entries in the tables from the encrypted message to recover the original compressed facsimile message and modifying the tables using the multiplexer. + +# **Annex E** + +## **Procedures for the use of the HFX40-I hashing system to provide message integrity for secure document facsimile transmission** + +## **E.1 Scope** + +This Annex describes the HFX40-I hashing algorithm, in terms of its use, the necessary calculations and the information to be exchanged between the facsimile terminals to provide integrity for a transmitted facsimile message as either a selected or pre-programmed alternative to the encryption of the message. + +In order to provide message integrity, a hash function is used to map arbitrarily long messages into fixed length values. The hash function generated by the HFX40-I algorithm maps the compressed facsimile message to a sequence of decimal digits. + +A hash function is cryptographically strong if it is difficult to find any message that maps to a given hash value or any pair of messages that map to the same hash value. To protect against the possibility of this being achieved by a third party, the HFX40-I algorithm uses primitives derived from a secret key. The resultant hash value of the message is also doubly encrypted to prevent the possibility of a third party reversing the hash function to discover the original primitives. + +The HFX40-I hashing algorithm is based upon the use of 19 system prime numbers. These same 19 prime numbers are used also with the HKM key management system which is defined in Annex C and the message carrier cipher which is described in Annex E. However, this Annex does not cover the key management system nor the message carrier cipher. + +The secure exchange of the secret key follows the procedures detailed in Annex C. + +Example calculations are given in E.3 and E.4 and these can be used to verify the implementation of the algorithm. + +The HFX40-I system is covered by intellectual property rights; however, the owner of those rights has agreed to follow the TSB code of practice. Further details can be obtained from the TSB. + +## **E.2 Use of the HFX40-I hashing system** + +To send a message protected for integrity, the user at X establishes a call to Y with which mutual registration has been carried out (see Annex C). Following successful mutual authentication of X and Y (see Annex C), X generates SSx which is sent securely to Y, using the procedure for the secure transfer of a secret key (procSTKxy) defined in Annex C. + +X also uses SSx, to form the primitives for the hash function, HFX40-I. The primitives are used by HFX40-I for modular arithmetical calculations to operate on the compressed facsimile message byte by byte. The moduli for the modular arithmetic are provided by a set of 19 system modulating prime numbers stored in the facsimile terminal. The order in which the 19 prime numbers are used is derived from SSx. This set of prime numbers is the same as that used by the HKM key management system (Annex C) and the HFX40 carrier cipher algorithm (Annex D). + +The output of one sequence of modular calculations with one byte of the message is used as the input to the calculation for the next byte of the message, and so on until the complete message has been processed. The resulting PH is doubly encrypted by the session key. The first encryption is a one-way function which scrambles the 24 digits of PH to form + +SH. The second encryption uses a one-way variant of the HKM cipher to form ESH. X sends the compressed facsimile message and ESH to Y. + +Y recovers SSx using procSTKxy and using the HFX40-I algorithm calculates PH of the received compressed facsimile message. Y performs the same two encryptions of PH as X to form ESH. If ESH matches the value of ESH received from X, not only is the integrity of the message confirmed but the authentication of the sender is also assured. Any discrepancy between the calculated ESH and the received ESH is evidence of loss of integrity. + +To provide confirmation or denial of integrity to X, Y generates IMy. IMy is a 12-digit random number selected from the digits 2 to 9 in which one digit is randomly selected to be replaced with a 1 to indicate confirmation of integrity or a 0 to indicate denial. Y sends IMy securely to X using SSx and procSTKyx. + +Example responses: + +IMy = 257795199982 Integrity confirmed. + +IMy = 317736845378 Integrity confirmed. + +IMy = 738543680892 Integrity denied. + +IMy = 457745204639 Integrity denied. + +## E.3 The HFX40-I hashing system for use with facsimile terminals + +### E.3.1 Introduction + +This subclause describes the HFX40-I hashing system in terms of the numbers to be stored and the rules for the computations carried out using these numbers to generate PH, SH and ESH. The rules are best explained using numerical examples. The numerical examples also use test values to allow verification of the implementation. + +### E.3.2 Stored information + +All terminals are equipped with the same 19 system modulating prime numbers (also used in Annexes C and D). + +32603 32507 32183 32003 31847 31607 31583 31547 31259 +31139 30803 30539 30467 30347 30323 30203 29879 29759 29663 + +### E.3.3 Re-ordering of the system modulating prime numbers + +X uses SSx to derive three initial phase primitive values, P(0) to P(2) and three base primitive values, B(0) to B(2) to be used with the first three system modulating prime numbers, 32603, 32507 and 32183 to generate 19 entries in a (mod 19) PRS. + +SSx is split into six overlapping groups of three digits. The first group being formed of the first 3 digits, the second from the second, third and fourth digits and so on. The first group of three digits are XOR'd with the second, the result of this is XOR'd with the third and so on. Two is added to each of the resulting groups to prevent occurrences of an all zero result.

When the initial value for P(1) has been used in the calculations with the first byte of the compressed message, it is replaced with a new value generated by the calculations detailed in the following paragraphs. This new value of P(1) is used the next time P(1) is used in the calculations. This same procedure is continued with P(2), P(3), etc. The whole procedure is continued until the end of the message and is explained in more detail below. + +Let the current phase value being used be P(n). P(n) is modified to form P'(n) by adding to P(n) the decimal ASCII value of the current message byte, b, and the Q (mod M) value, q, obtained from the previous byte. For the first byte, q = 0. + +$$P'(n) = P(n) + b + q$$ + +Q is derived from P'(n) by multiplying by (b + 1). + +$$Q = P'(n) * (b + 1)$$ + +Q is modulated by one of the 19 re-ordered system modulating prime numbers used in rotation starting from Prime (1) to form the new P(n) and q values. For example, for the first byte of the message, Q (mod M) forms the q value for the second byte and P(n) for the ninth byte. The order of the system modulating prime numbers is as determined in E.3.3. For the first byte of the message, Prime (1) is used, for the second byte Prime (2) and so on. + +Table E.4 shows the calculations to produce the hash for a 29 byte compressed facsimile message. + +PH, is formed by concatenating the 3 least significant digits of the final eight phase values taken in the order P(0), P(1), P(2), etc. to P(7) to produce a 24-digit number.

Sequence + +### E.4.1 Introduction + +This subclause provides an example using test values to verify the implementation of the operation of the HKM algorithm using modular arithmetic to generate a PseudoRandom Sequence, PRS. + +The modular arithmetic uses phase and base primitive values derived in a number of ways from a secret number, such as a session key, or a combination of a secret number and other identifying information, together with moduli taken from the universal set of system modulating prime numbers to generate a PRS which may be further modulated to form a specific PRS. + +#### E.4.1.1 Calculations using HKM to generate a PRS + +The test values used in this example are those used in E.3.3 to form the 19-entry (mod 19) PRS to re-order the system modulating prime numbers. + +The 3 phase primitives, P(0) to P(2) and the 3 base primitives B(0) to B(2) are: + +$$\begin{array}{ll} P(0) = 570 & B(0) = 306 \\ P(1) = 352 & B(1) = 128 \\ P(2) = 333 & B(2) = 297 \end{array}$$ + +The 3 system modulating primes are: 32603, 32507 and 32183 + +Using the first "set" of phase, base and prime values, P(0), B(0) and 32603: + +P(0) is multiplied by B(0) + +$$570 * 306 = 174420$$ + +$$174420 \text{ (mod the first prime)} = 174420 \text{ (mod 32603)} = 11405$$ + +11405 is then used as a new phase value and is multiplied by the base value, B(0) + +$$11405 * 306 = 3489930$$ + +$$3489930 \text{ (mod the first prime)} = 3489930 \text{ (mod 32603)} = 1409$$ + +This process is carried out a total of 19 times (corresponding to the number of primes to be re-ordered). The complete process is also repeated for the remaining 2 "sets" of phase, base and prime values to generate similar sequences. + +The results of the first calculation from each of the 3 phase, base and prime "sets" are added to form the first value in the total column. The results from each of the other calculations are added to form the other entries in the total column. The resulting sequence in this example is modulated by 19 to generate a (mod 19) PRS. Other suitable numbers can be used to modulate the sequence to generate other specific PRSs. + +The full set of calculations is shown in Table E.8. + +**Table E.8/T.36 – Calculations using HKM to generate a 19-entry (mod 19) PRS** + +| Modulating Prime

conventions given in ITU-T Recommendation T.411 | ISO/IEC 8613-1, the following conventions are used throughout this Specification. + +## 5.1 Content associated with a composite logical object + +The *content associated with a basic logical object* refers to a collection of content portions which are referred to by the attribute “content portions” specified for the basic logical object. If a content portion is associated with a basic logical object, then the content portion description always includes the attribute “content identifier – logical”. + +If the layout process duplicates the content associated with a basic logical object, one or more content portions are generated (see clause 10). Those content portions, as a whole, form part of a single and complete reproduction of the source content except for their identification attributes. In particular, they never include the attribute “content identifier – logical”. Hence, those content positions shall not be associated with any basic logical object, even though their source content is associated with the basic logical object. + +The *content associated with a composite logical object* refers to the union of the content associated with the basic logical objects which are, not necessarily immediately, subordinate to the composite logical object. + +More shortly, the phrase *the content of a logical object* may be used to refer to the content associated with the logical object, whether the logical object is basic or composite. + +## 5.2 The symbol / + +The symbol / between two words indicates that the two words surrounding the symbol / are two alternatives: each alternative makes the sentence including the alternatives true. + +When the symbol / appears in texts, this occurrence of the symbol has its own scope. Unless a NOTE specifies a particular scope for it, its scope is confined to the paragraph that includes this occurrence of the symbol. + +If the scope includes more than one occurrence of /, and if the reader selects the first alternative at the first occurrence, the text in the scope makes sense when he selects the first alternative at each subsequent occurrence throughout the scope. In the same way, if the reader selects the second alternative at the first occurrence, the text in the scope makes sense when he selects the second alternative at each subsequent occurrence throughout the scope. + +**Example:** If the reader selects the first/second alternative at the first occurrence, the text in the scope makes sense when he selects the first/second alternative at each subsequent occurrence throughout the scope. + +# 6 Relationship to ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 + +This Specification provides a document architecture that can be used in conjunction with the document architecture defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. + +This Specification defines 14 layout attributes, 7 layout directive attributes and 3 presentation style attributes. These attributes are defined so that they may represent documents including tabular structures and tabular layout, in both their logical and layout aspects, in conjunction with a number of attributes defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. + +The layout directive attributes: + +- obligatory same layout objects; +- selective same layout objects, + +impose constraints on the document layout process additional to the layout directive attributes defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2, without affecting their definitions. + +This Specification defines two additional object types, *grid logical components* and *grid frame components*. + +The layout directive attributes: + +- grid descriptions; +- grid frame classes; +- presentation precedence; +- supplementary line directive, + +are specifiable only for grid logical components. + +The attributes “grid descriptions” and “grid frame classes” are for control of the placement of variably positioned frames within immediately superior grid frames. They never affect the definitions of any layout directive attributes defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. + +The attribute “presentation precedence” is for control of the order in which the document layout process lays out basic logical objects. This attribute may affect such layout directive attributes as “same layout object” and “concatenation”, whose definitions depend on the sequential logical order in specific logical structures. The conjunction of the attribute “presentation precedence” and such attributes may result in unexpected layout, unless the originator generates documents taking interaction between these attributes into consideration. + +The attribute “supplementary line directive” is for control of the imaging process to image supplementary lines within grid frames in addition to ordinary grid lines. It never affects the definitions of any layout directive attributes defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. + +This Specification defines a set of particular rules to determine position and dimensions of frames which are immediately subordinate to grid frames. For other frames, the rules defined in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 are valid without any changes. + +The rest of the attributes defined in this Specification are for the representation of these positioning and dimensioning rules for frames. In particular, the attribute “position” is re-defined in this Specification so that it may provide necessary functions to control placement of frames within immediately superior grid frames. + +# 7 Features of tabular structures and tabular layout + +This clause provides a description of the chief features of tabular structures and tabular layout which are in the scope of the document architecture defined in this Specification. + +Tabular structures involving some or all of those features are represented in accordance with this document architecture, and those structures are embedded into logical and layout structures of documents represented in accordance with the document architecture of ITU-T Recommendation T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. + +Further, the reference model of the document layout process described in this Specification may generate specific layout structures including tabular structures, evaluating those tabular structures embedded into logical structures and generic layout structures. + +Thereafter, the reference model of the document imaging process described in this Specification may present tabular structures involved in such specific layout structures as human perceptible tabular layout on rendition media. + +This Specification introduces new attributes to cover those features of tabular structures and tabular layout. At the end of each subclause of this clause, those attributes which are related to the feature described in the sub-clause will be listed as **Related attributes**. + +Only for illustration in this clause, the following terminology is introduced: + +- *table cell*: a rectangular area within a table edged with table lines; +- *table entry*: a piece of content laid out within a table cell; +- *table line*: a visible or invisible line delimiting table entries distributed within a table. + +The framework of tabular layout consists of a set of table lines which intersect one another so that the framework shall provide two-dimensional allocation of table cells. Each table entry is laid out within a respective table cell. + +## 7.1 Content types and inner structures of table entries + +A table shall allow table entries to contain various types of content, such as character texts, pictures and so forth. + +Further, a table shall allow table entries to have an inner structure, such as a picture with a caption, more than one paragraph and so forth. + +**Related attributes:** “grid description” + +## 7.2 Dimensions of tables, rows and columns + +The dimensions of a table (height, width), of a row (height), and a column (width) may be specified in one of the following ways: + +- the dimension concerned shall be a specified absolute value; +- it shall expand to an area available for its presentation; +- it shall be a minimum value necessary for its presentation. + +Additionally, the height of a row and the width of a column may be specified as: + +- the dimension concerned shall be in proportion to the dimensions of other particular rows or columns. + +**Related attributes:** “grid dimensions”, “grid interval dimensions” + +## 7.3 Placement of tables + +A table may be aligned within the area available for placement in the horizontal and vertical directions: + +- the table may be aligned on the left or right, or centred; +- the table may be aligned at the top or bottom, or centred; +- every combination of alignment in the horizontal and vertical directions shall be allowed. + +**Related attributes:** “grid position” + +## 7.4 Spanning cells + +A table cell spanning more than one row and more than one column shall be allowed to appear at an arbitrary position within a table. + +**Related attributes:** “grid description” + +## 7.5 Placement of table entries + +### 7.5.1 Gutter space around table lines + +A gutter space, from which any table entries are to be excluded, may be reserved around a table line. + +**Related attributes:** “gutters” + +### 7.5.2 Offset of table entries + +Offsets of a table entry from the edges of the table cell within which the table entry is laid out shall be specifiable. + +**Related attributes:** “grid position” + +### 7.5.3 Alignment of a table entry within a table cell + +A table entry may be aligned within a table cell arbitrarily in the horizontal and vertical directions: + +- the table entry may be aligned on the left or the right, or centred; +- the table entry may be aligned at the top or bottom, or centred; +- every combination of alignment in the horizontal and vertical directions shall be allowed. + +**Related attributes:** “position” + +### 7.5.4 Reference line alignment + +A table entry may provide an alignment point. If such table entries are in a row or a column, they may be aligned so that all of the alignment points shall be lined up on a reference line in the direction of the row or column. Two of the most typical examples of reference line alignment are *alignment around decimal points* and *base line alignment*. + +**Related attributes:** “reference line alignment – major / minor”, “frame alignment point”, “block alignment point”, “alignment point” + +In addition, a table entry involved in reference line alignment may be indented from the reference line concerned. + +**Related attributes:** “indent – major / minor” + +After this alignment, the entire set of table entries may be aligned on the left or the right, or centred, within the row or column. + +**Related attributes:** “position” + +## 7.6 Split of tables + +When a table overflows such an area available for its presentation as a page, a page column, frame and so forth, the table may or may not split into two or more fragments each of which is presented within an individual available area. Further, each fragment of the table may be presented in a different way: for example, the first fragment includes the area for a table title; the last fragment includes the area for notes; the intermediate fragments include neither. + +**Related attributes:** “grid frame classes” + +### 7.6.1 Direction of table split + +When splitting of a table is allowed, it may occur in the horizontal and / or vertical direction: + +- a table may be split only at table lines delimiting rows; +- a table may be split only at table lines delimiting columns; +- a table may be split both at table lines delimiting rows and at table lines delimiting columns; in this case, the order of presentation of fragments shall be taken into consideration. + +**Related attributes:** “indivisibility”, “presentation precedence” + +Furthermore, in all the cases, the table shall not be split at an unsuitable table line, such as a horizontal table line immediately following box headings. + +**Related attributes:** “same layout object”, “selective same layout objects” + +### 7.6.2 Repetition of headings + +When a table is split, such headings within the table as box headings may be repeated within each fragment of the table. + +**Related attributes:** “obligatory same layout objects” + +## 7.7 Rendition of table lines + +The method of rendition of a table line shall be determined for each individual line segment composing the table line. For example, if a segment of the table line is within a spanning cell or the stub of the table (the leftmost column for row headings), the line segment shall be rendered invisible. + +**Related attributes:** “grid lines” + +## 7.8 Supplementary lines + +In addition to table lines, some supplementary lines may be presented: + +- a diagonal line may divide the top left table cell into two triangles; +- a reference line may be rendered visible. + +**Related attributes:** “supplementary lines, supplementary line directive” + +# 8 Grid logical components + +A *grid logical component* is a variant of a composite logical component. Any of the attributes applicable to composite logical components are also applicable to a grid logical component. In this Specification, particularly in the **Constituents** clauses of the attribute definitions, grid logical components and ordinary composite logical components may be collectively referred to as “composite logical components”. + +A grid logical component is identified by the value ‘grid logical’ specified for the attribute “object type”, and a grid logical object is characterized by the association with a *logical grid*. + +Unless the attribute “grid frame classes” is applied to a grid logical object, the layout process shall deal with the grid logical object as an ordinary composite logical object. Hence, those layout directive attributes proper to the grid logical component, namely “grid description”, “presentation precedence” and “supplementary lines” shall never affect the layout of documents. + +## 8.1 Logical grids + +### 8.1.1 Logical grid lines and logical grid locations + +The underlying area of a logical grid is a rectangle within an imaginary plane. This underlying rectangle is dissected by two sets of parallel lines. Each set of parallel lines runs parallel to one of two adjacent edges of the underlying rectangle. The lines and divisions so created comprise the logical grid (see Figure 1). + +Such a line is called a *logical grid line*, and a division is called a *logical grid location*. + +A logical grid line / location may be simply referred to as a *grid line / location* when it is obvious from the context that it is a logical grid line / location rather than a *layout grid line / location*, and vice versa (see 9.1.1 and 9.1.7). + +### 8.1.2 Major and minor paths + +The terms *major path* and *minor path* denote the two orthogonal directions within a logical grid which are parallel to the edges of the underlying rectangle. + +Conventionally, a logical grid is considered to be upright: the major path is the vertically downward direction, and the minor path is the horizontally rightward direction (see Figure 1). + +### 8.1.3 Major and minor logical grid lines + +Every logical grid line runs parallel to either the major or minor path. + +A logical grid line running parallel to the minor / major path of a logical grid is called a *major / minor logical grid line*. Within a logical grid, every major / minor logical grid line is identified by an ordinal number (see Figure 1): + +- a) the number 0 is assigned to the major / minor logical grid line which is the first in the direction of the major / minor path; +- b) the major / minor logical grid line with number $n + 1$ is adjacent to the major / minor logical grid line with number $n$ in the direction of the major / minor path. + +![Diagram of a logical grid showing major and minor paths, grid lines, and a grid location.](7b8b192e2853ef28d28eff0241ebe86b_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates a logical grid as a 6x6 grid of squares. The grid is defined by 7 vertical and 7 horizontal lines. The horizontal lines are labeled on the right as '0th major logical grid line' (top), '1st major logical grid line', and '2nd major logical grid line'. The vertical lines are labeled on the left as '0th minor logical grid line' (left), '1st minor logical grid line', and '2nd minor logical grid line'. An arrow labeled 'Minor path' points to the right above the grid. An arrow labeled 'Major path' points downwards to the left of the grid. One square in the grid, located at the intersection of the 5th vertical line and the 5th horizontal line (counting from 0), is shaded gray and labeled 'Logical grid location'. The text 'TISO5040-95/d01' is printed at the bottom right of the grid. + +Diagram of a logical grid showing major and minor paths, grid lines, and a grid location. + +Figure 1 – Logical grid + +### 8.1.4 Major and minor sizes of a logical grid + +The *major / minor size* of a logical grid is defined as the largest ordinal number assigned to a major / minor grid line within the logical grid. + +The major / minor size of a logical grid is specified by the parameter “major / minor size” of the attribute “grid description” applied to the grid logical object with which the logical grid is associated. + +Since a logical grid is conventionally considered to be upright, its major / minor size corresponds to the number of rows / columns within it. + +### 8.1.5 Logical coordinates + +Each intersection point of the logical grid is represented by a *logical coordinate pair*: *major logical coordinate* and *minor logical coordinate*. + +The major / minor logical coordinate of the point is the ordinal number assigned to the major / minor logical grid line on which the point is located. + +Additionally, the special value ‘last’ may be specified for the major / minor logical coordinate. This value specifies that the point is located on the last major / minor logical grid line, to which the largest ordinal number is assigned. + +### 8.1.6 Logical grid rectangles + +If one or more logical grid locations comprise a rectangle within a logical grid, the rectangle is called a *logical grid rectangle*. Hence, a logical grid rectangle is edged with a pair of major logical grid lines and a pair of minor logical grid lines. + +The smallest logical grid rectangle is a single logical location. + +A logical grid rectangle may be called simply a *grid rectangle* when it is obvious from the context that it is a logical grid rectangle rather than a *layout grid rectangle*, and vice versa (see 9.1.7). + +## 8.2 Association of entry objects with logical grid rectangles + +A logical object subordinate to a grid logical object may be associated with a logical grid rectangle within the logical grid associated with the grid logical object (see Figure 2). Such a logical object is called an *entry object* occupying that logical grid rectangle. An entry object is not necessarily an immediate subordinate of the grid logical object. + +![Figure 2: Association of entry objects with logical grid rectangles. The diagram shows a hierarchical tree structure on the left and a 3x3 grid on the right. The tree starts with a 'Grid logical object' (open circle) at the top. It has two children: a 'Specific logical structure' (open circle) and another open circle. The 'Specific logical structure' has two children, both 'Entry objects' (filled circles). Each 'Entry object' has a 'Sub-structure below entry object' (open triangle) as a child.

The text 'TISO5050-95/d02' is at the bottom right. + +Figure 2 – Association of entry objects with logical grid rectangles + +These associations between entry objects and logical grid rectangles are specified by the parameter “entry-location association” of the attribute grid description applied to the grid logical object with which the logical grid is associated (see 12.2.2). + +In addition, the associations between entry objects and logical grid rectangles affect the order in which the layout process lays out the content of those basic logical objects that are subordinate to the logical grid object. Therefore, if a grid frame is superior to another grid frame, their effects on this processing order of their common subordinate basic logical objects shall be compatible (see 13.5). + +# 9 Grid frame components + +A *grid frame component* can be any frame except a lowest level frame component. Any of the attributes applicable to frame components except the attribute “permitted categories” are also applicable to a grid frame component. In this Specification, particularly in the **Constituents** clauses of the attribute definitions, grid frame components and ordinary frame components may be collectively referred to as “frame components”. + +A grid frame component is identified by the value ‘grid frame’ specified for the attribute “object type”, and a grid frame is characterized by the capability to contain a layout grid within it. + +A grid frame contains a layout grid whenever the object description for the grid frame specifies the attribute “grid interval dimensions”. Conversely, without the attribute “grid interval dimensions”, the grid frame does not contain a layout grid. + +If a grid frame does not contain a layout grid, the imaging process shall deal with the grid frame as if it were an ordinary frame, and shall not present any layout grid lines within it. + +When the layout process reach a grid logical object description specifying the attribute “grid frame classes”, the layout process identifies one or more grid frames within the specific layout structure under construction, in accordance with this attribute. Those identified grid frames are called *grid frames referred to* by the grid logical object (see 9.2). + +The layout process generates a layout grid within each referenced grid frame. This layout grid includes the same number of major / minor grid lines (see 9.1.1) as the logical grid associated with the grid logical object does. + +## 9.1 Layout grid + +### 9.1.1 Layout grid lines + +A *layout grid* is composed of a finite number of lines, called *layout grid lines*. Each layout grid line has its own position, length and direction within the grid frame containing the layout grid. + +Layout grid lines within a grid frame satisfy the following constraints: + +- every layout grid line shall be parallel with one of the edges of the grid frame; +- no layout grid line shall fall within the border free space of the grid frame; +- every layout grid line shall have its ends located on the same pair of orthogonal grid lines. + +Thus, in ordinary cases, a layout grid is a rectangle divided by a finite number of horizontal and vertical lines, each of which has its ends on opposite edges of the rectangle (see Figure 3). + +Two layout grid lines may be located at the same position within the grid frame (see 12.1.4). Further, if the layout grid lines running in one of the two directions are all located at the same position, then the length of the layout grid lines in the orthogonal direction shall be zero.

A single line segment characteristic specifies a single set of *imaging factors* (i.e. line width, line type and line colour). + +- Each individual grid line segment is imaged with a single line width, a single line type and a single line colour. + +- Distinct grid line segments may be imaged with different line widths, different line types or different line colours, even if they are forming part of the common layout grid line. + +The attribute “grid lines” applied to the grid frame specifies a set of line segment characteristics, each of which is applicable to each individual grid line segment involved in the relevant layout grid (see 12.1.5). + +### 9.1.5 Major and minor sizes of a layout grid + +The largest ordinal number assigned to a major / minor grid line within a layout grid is called the *major / minor size* of the layout grid. + +In contrast to the case of a logical grid, where the major and minor sizes of the logical grid are explicitly specified by the attribute “grid description” (see 12.2.2), those of a layout grid are only implicitly specified by the attribute “grid interval dimensions” that the object description for the grid frame specifies (see 12.1.4). + +The attribute “grid interval dimensions” consists of two parameters “major interval dimensions” and “minor interval dimensions”. The value of each parameter is a *grid interval expression* of the grid sequence construction type (see 11.1) composed of *interval indicators* (see 11.4), namely a sequence of a finite number of interval indicators, when the attribute is specified for an object description.

Furthermore, the *i*-th major / minor grid interval is the major / minor grid interval delimited by the (*i* – 1)-th and *i*-th major / minor layout grid lines. + +A *layout grid rectangle* is an area within a layout grid edged with two major layout grid lines and two minor layout grid lines.

The layout process shall generate one of those instances of the minimal layout for the layout grid. + +## 9.2 Association of grid frames with grid logical objects + +The attribute “grid frame classes” specifies a construction expression whose evaluation may produce a sequence of grid frame classes. If this attribute is applied to a grid logical object, a sequence of one or more grid frames shall be identified in the specific layout structure concerned (see 12.2.3). + +A sequence of grid frames to be identified shall satisfy the following conditions: + +- the order of grid frames given by the sequence coincides with their sequential layout order; +- the sequence of frame classes obtained by replacing every grid frame in the sequence with its frame class is one of the values that can be derived from evaluation of the construction expression specified for the attribute. + +The content associated with the grid logical object shall be laid out entirely within the grid frames of this set. No other part of the document shall be laid out within any grid frame in this set (see 12.2.3). + +If a grid frame is identified in accordance with the attribute “grid frame classes” applied to a grid logical object, the grid frame is called a *grid frame referred to* by the grid logical object. + +## 9.3 Binding of entry frames to layout grid rectangles + +Every grid frame referred to by a grid logical object contains a layout grid. + +This layout grid includes the same number of major / minor grid lines as the logical grid associated with the grid logical object does. By means of ordinal numbers assigned to grid lines within the layout grid and the logical grid, the following correspondences between grid lines and between grid rectangles are defined. + +### 9.3.1 Correspondence between layout grid lines and logical grid lines + +The correspondence between the major / minor layout grid lines within the layout grid and the major / minor logical grid lines within the logical grid is such that: + +- the $i$ -th major / minor layout grid line corresponds to the $i$ -th major / minor logical grid line, and vice versa. + +### 9.3.2 Correspondence between layout grid rectangles and logical grid rectangles + +The correspondence between the layout grid rectangles within the layout grid and the logical grid rectangles within the logical grid is such that: + +- a layout grid rectangle corresponds to the logical grid rectangle whose four edging logical grid lines respectively correspond to the four layout grid lines edging the layout grid rectangle, and vice versa. + +If a layout grid rectangle corresponds to a logical grid rectangle, the former rectangle is called the *layout counterpart* of the latter rectangle. + +### 9.3.3 Layout of content associated with entry objects + +The content associated with an entry object, which occupies a logical grid rectangle within the logical grid associated with its superior grid logical object, shall be laid out within frames immediately subordinate to those grid frames referred to by this grid logical object. Moreover, each of those frames shall be located inside the layout counterpart of the logical grid rectangle which the entry object occupies, no matter whether it is variably positioned, or has its position strictly fixed, within its immediately superior grid frames. + +A frame to be variably positioned within the immediately superior grid frame is called an *entry frame*. If the content of an entry object is laid out within an entry frame, and therefore the entry frame is constrained to be laid out inside the layout counterpart of the logical grid rectangle which the entry frame occupies, the entry frame is said to be *bound to* that layout grid rectangle. + +# 10 Duplication of content + +If the attribute “obligatory same layout objects” is applied to a logical object, zero or more target objects shall be identified within the specific logical structure concerned (see 12.2.4). Target objects may be basic or composite. Further, in accordance with this attribute, the layout process may duplicate the content associated with the target objects, and thereafter may lay out the generated reproduction of the content. + +## 10.1 Reproductions of content + +Whenever the duplication of the content of a target object occurs, a reproduction of the entire content associated with this target object, which is complete except for the identification attributes, shall be generated. + +### 10.1.1 Reproductions of the content of a basic logical object + +A reproduction of the content associated with a single basic logical object is such that: + +- the reproduction shall be a single content portion; +- this generated content portion shall be a reproduction of the unique content portion, called the *source content portion* or the *source* in short, which was originally associated with the basic logical object before the layout process; this reproduction is complete except that it includes neither of the content portion attributes “content identifier – logical” and “content identifier – layout”; +- this reproduction shall include the other content portion attributes “type of coding”, “content information”, “alternative representation”, as well as the coding attributes proper to the content architecture; +- the same value is assigned to each of these attributes as the value assigned to its counterpart attribute in the source content portion. + +### 10.1.2 Reproductions of the content of a target object + +When the target object is a basic logical object, one content portion shall be generated at each occurrence of the duplication of the content of the target object. This generated content portion shall be coincident with the reproduction of the content associated with the target object as defined in 10.1.1. + +When the target object is a composite logical object, one content portion shall be generated for each basic logical object subordinate to the target object, at each occurrence of the duplication of the content of the target object. This content portion shall be a reproduction of the content associated with the basic logical object concerned. Hence, when the target object is superior to more than one basic logical object, the same number of content portions shall be generated. This set of content portions is collectively called a *reproduction of the content associated with the target object*. + +### 10.1.3 Reproduction bundles + +The duplication of content occurs only in accordance with the attribute “obligatory same layout objects” applied to some logical objects (see 12.2.4). + +If the attribute “obligatory same layout objects” is applied to a logical object, a set of zero or more target objects shall be identified. If the duplication of content occurs in accordance with this instance of the attribute, one reproduction shall be generated for the content associated with each of those target objects, at each occurrence of the duplication. + +The set of those reproductions, which are generated at a single occurrence of the duplication invoked by a single instance of the attribute “obligatory same layout objects”, is called a *reproduction bundle* generated in accordance with this instance of the attribute. + +A single reproduction bundle satisfies that: + +- for each basic logical object subordinate to each target object, the reproduction bundle contains one content portion that is a reproduction of the content associated with this basic logical object; +- the reproduction bundle is composed of only these content portions. + +The duplication of content may occur whenever it is necessary. It may occur irrespective of the processing order of basic logical objects (see 12.2.5 and 13.5): the layout process may generate a reproduction of the content associated with a basic logical object, even if it has laid out the content associated with basic logical objects that follow it in the processing order. + +NOTE – The processing order of basic logical objects is the order in which the layout process lays out basic logical objects. This order is the same as the sequential logical order, unless the attribute “presentation precedence” exists within the logical structure concerned. In that case, the attribute may affect this order (see 12.2.5 and 13.5). + +The duplication of content may occur as many times as is necessary, even if it is in accordance with a single instance of the attribute “obligatory same layout object”. + +## 10.2 Layout of content within reproductions + +### 10.2.1 Order of layout + +Whenever it becomes necessary for the layout process to duplicate content, the layout process suspends the layout of the relevant object until it completes the layout of the reproduction bundle generated at this occurrence of the duplication. The following steps are carried out: + +- the layout process generates a bundle of reproductions, each of which is for the content associated with a single target object; +- the layout process lays out those content portions within the reproduction bundle one by one; +- the order in which the layout process lays out these content portions is the same as the processing order of the basic logical objects with which their source content portions are associated; +- the layout process starts again the layout of the relevant object. + +### 10.2.2 Splits of content portions + +The content portion in a reproduction of the content of a basic logical object may split into more than one content portions during the layout process, if the content portion are required to be laid out within more than one block (see also 6.5.2.5 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2). + +### 10.2.3 Effects of layout directive attributes on layout + +A reproduction may be laid out taking account of the layout directive attributes that have affected the layout of the source of the reproduction. This subclause provides descriptions of the way in which the layout directive attributes defined in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 affect the layout of the content of reproductions. For the layout directive attributes introduced in this Specification, their effects on the layout of reproductions is described in clause 12. + +The layout directive attributes defined in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 are classified into two types: + +- a) A layout directive attribute of the first type never refers to content other than that associated with the logical object to which it applies, and the effect of the attribute on the layout is confined to this content. +The attributes that belong to this type are the attributes “block alignment”, “fill order”, “offset”, “separation”, “layout category”, “logical stream category”, “layout stream sub-category”, “indivisibility”, “layout object class”, and “new layout object”. +- b) A layout directive attribute of the second type refers to content other than that associated with the logical object to which it applies. Such an attribute specifies that the content associated with that logical object shall be laid out related to the layout of the referenced content. +The attributes of this type are the attributes “concatenation”, “floatability range”, “same layout object”, and “synchronization”. + +Principally, a layout directive attribute affects the layout of the content of a reproduction bundle as follows. + +- a) When the layout directive attribute is of the first type, within the reproduction bundle, the content whose source content portions are associated with the logical object to which the attribute applies shall be laid out in accordance with this attribute. Moreover, the attribute shall independently affect the layout of each individual reproduction bundle. +- b) When the layout directive attribute is of the second type, the attribute affects the layout of the reproduction bundle if and only if the *affected content*, whose layout is to be affected by the attribute, and the *referenced content*, to which the layout of the affected content is to be related, are both included in the same reproduction. Otherwise, the attribute shall not affect the layout of the reproduction. +If the reproduction bundle includes both the affected content and the referenced content at the same time, the affected content shall be laid out related to the referenced content in accordance with the attribute. Moreover, in this case also, the attributes shall independently affect the layout of each individual reproduction of the content. + +The following 10.2.3.1 to 10.2.3.10 provides descriptions of the effect of each attribute on the layout of the content of a reproduction of the content of a basic logical object, or a reproduction bundles. + +#### 10.2.3.1 “block alignment”, “fill order”, “offset”, “separation” + +If any one of the attributes “block alignment”, “fill order”, “offset”, and “separation” applies to a basic logical object, and the reproduction is for the content associated with this basic logical object, then blocks that contain the content of this reproduction shall be laid out within their immediately superior frames as specified by the attribute (see also 9.7.2, 9.7.4, 9.7.12 and 9.7.14 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2). + +#### 10.2.3.2 “layout category” + +If the attribute “layout category” applies to a basic logical object, and the reproduction is for the content associated with this basic logical object, then the content of this reproduction shall be constrained to be placed within lowest level frames such that their “permitted categories” include the layout category specified by the attribute (see 9.7.7 and 9.4.2.6 of ITU-T Rec.

Different types of grid construction expression deliver different types of atom. + +A grid construction expression shall satisfy the following *deterministic condition*: + +- if two sequences of atoms are derived from evaluation of a single grid construction expression, and they are of the same length, these sequences are coincident with each other. + +NOTE – The length of a sequence of atoms is defined as the number of atoms composing the sequence. If the sequence is empty, its length is defined as 0. + +There are four types of grid construction expressions, each of which delivers a different type of atom (see Table 1): + +- grid interval expressions; +- grid gutter expressions; +- grid line expressions; +- line characteristic expressions. + +A grid construction expression is either a grid construction term or a grid construction type. A grid construction type is one of the following: + +- a grid sequence construction, which consists of one or more grid construction terms, which are to be evaluated in the order specified; +- a grid aggregate construction, which consists of one or more grid construction terms, which are to be evaluated in an arbitrary order; +- a grid choice construction, which consists of one or more grid construction terms, one of which is to be evaluated. + +A grid construction term is one of the following: + +- a grid required construction factor; +- a grid optional construction factor; + +- a grid repetitive construction factor; +- a grid optional repetitive construction factor. + +Each grid construction factor is either an atom or a grid construction type. In the former case, the value of the grid construction factor is the atom. In the latter case, the value of the grid construction factor is derived by evaluation of the grid construction type. Evaluation of the grid construction type may produce either an empty sequence or a sequence of one or more atoms: + +- A grid required construction factor is to be evaluated once when the containing grid construction term is evaluated. +- A grid optional construction factor may be evaluated once or may not be evaluated, when the containing grid construction term is evaluated. +- A grid repetitive construction factor is to be evaluated one or more times in succession, when the containing grid construction term is evaluated. +- A grid optional repetitive construction factor may be evaluated one or more times in succession, or may not be evaluated, when the containing grid construction term is evaluated. + +**Table 1 – Types of grid construction expression** + +| Type of expression | Attribute | Type of atom | +|--------------------------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------| +| Grid interval expression | “grid interval dimensions” | Interval indicator | +| Grid gutter expression | “grid gutters” | Gutter indicator | +| Grid line expression | “grid lines” | Line characteristic | +| Line characteristic expression | – | Line segment characteristic | + +## 11.2 Attributes with grid construction expressions as values + +This Specification defines three attributes with parameters whose permissible value is a grid construction expression: + +- a) grid interval dimensions (see 12.1.4); +- b) grid gutters (see 12.1.3); +- c) grid lines (see 12.1.5). + +Each attributes is associated with a different type of grid construction expression (see Table 1): + +- a) The permissible value for a parameter of the attribute “grid interval dimensions” is a grid interval expression (see 11.3). The layout process evaluates this attribute specified for a grid frame class description, and determines the grid interval dimensions of the layout grid within the grid frame to which this attribute applies. The determined grid intervals are expressed as a grid interval expression, and then the expression is specified for the grid frame description as a value for the same attribute. +The imaging process evaluates the attribute “grid interval dimensions” specified for a grid frame description, and gets the positions where it shall image the layout grid lines involved in its layout grid. +- b) The permissible value for a parameter of the attribute “grid gutters” is a grid gutter expression (see 11.5). The layout process evaluates this attribute, and calculates available areas for frames immediately subordinate to the grid frame to which the attribute applies. +- c) The permissible value for a parameter of the attribute “grid lines” is a grid line expression (see 11.7). The layout process evaluates this attribute specified for a grid frame class description, and determines the way in which the imaging process shall image the layout grid lines within the grid frame to which this attribute applies. This way of presenting the layout grid lines is expressed as a grid line expression, and then the expression is specified for the grid frame description as a value of the same attribute. +The imaging process evaluates the attribute “grid lines”, and images layout grid lines of the layout grid within the grid frame. + +## 11.3 Grid interval expressions + +The value of a *grid interval expression* is an *interval indicator* (see 11.4). A grid interval expression may be a value of a parameter of the attribute “grid interval dimensions”. + +The attribute “grid interval dimensions” specifies the distances or a rule to determine distances between consecutively numbered major / minor layout grid lines (called the *major / minor grid interval dimension*). This attribute consists of two parameters “major interval dimensions” and “minor interval dimensions”, which respectively specify the dimensions of the major and minor grid intervals of the layout grid within the grid frame to which the attribute is applied. + +Evaluation of a grid interval expression specified for the parameter “major / minor interval dimensions” may produce either an empty sequence or a sequence of interval indicators. The length of the derived sequence shall be the same as the major / minor grid size of the layout grid, namely the number of the major / minor grid intervals within the layout grid. Each interval indicator in the sequence specifies the dimension of an individual grid interval: the $i$ -th interval indicator in the sequence specifies the $i$ -th major / minor grid interval dimension of the layout grid, namely the distance between $(i - 1)$ -th and $i$ -th major / minor layout grid lines. + +NOTE – The deterministic condition of the grid construction expression provides for the unique sequence of interval indicators for the given major / minor size of the layout grid. + +Whenever the layout process reaches a grid logical object, the process evaluates the attribute “grid frame classes”, if it exists, applied to the grid logical object, and generates one or more grid frames in accordance with the construction expression specified for the attribute. At the same time, the process shall generate a layout grid within each generated grid frame so that this layout grid shall include as many major / minor grid intervals as the logical grid associated with the grid logical object does (see 9.2). Thus, the major and minor sizes of the layout grid are derived from those of the associated logical grid. + +## 11.4 Interval indicators + +### Constituents: + +Terminal factors for grid interval expressions. + +### Structure: + +One of the parameters “fixed dimension”, “rule B” or “proportional”. + +The parameter “rule B” is structured into two optional sub-parameters, “minimum dimension” and “maximum dimension”. + +The parameter “proportional” is structured into three optional sub-parameters, “group”, “imaginary dimension” and “default dimension”. + +### Permissible values: + +For the parameter “fixed dimension”: a non-negative integer. + +For the sub-parameters of the parameter “rule B”: + +- “minimum dimension”: a non-negative integer; +- “maximum dimension”: either a non-negative integer or ‘infinitely large’. + +For the sub-parameters of the parameter “proportional”: + +- “group”: a non-negative integer; +- “imaginary dimension”: a non-negative integer; +- “default dimension”: either a non-negative integer or ‘null’. + +### Default values: + +For the sub-parameters of the parameter “rule B”: + +- “minimum dimension”: 0; +- “maximum dimension”: ‘infinitely large’. + +For the sub-parameters of the parameter “proportional”: + +- “group”: 0; +- “imaginary dimension”: 1; +- “default dimension”: ‘null’. + +### Definition: + +An interval indicator is one of the following: + +#### a) *The parameter “fixed dimension”* + +The parameter “fixed dimension” specifies that the dimension of the relevant grid interval to which this interval indicator applies shall be the value specified for this parameter, measured in scaled measurement units (SMU). + +#### b) *The parameter “rule B”* + +The parameter “rule B” specifies that the dimension of the relevant grid interval shall be determined so that: + +- the interval dimension shall be within the range between the value specified for the sub-parameters “minimum dimension” and “maximum dimension”; +- the interval dimension shall be large enough for the immediately subordinate entry frames which intersect the grid interval. + +The detailed definitions for the sub-parameters “minimum dimension” and “maximum dimension” are as follows: + +- The sub-parameter “minimum dimension” specifies the lower limit for the relevant grid interval dimension. The grid interval dimension shall not be smaller than this lower limit. +- The sub-parameter “maximum dimension” specifies an upper limit for the relevant grid interval dimension. The grid interval dimension shall not exceed this upper limit. + +If the parameter maximum dimension specifies the value ‘infinitely large’, then there shall be no upper limit for the grid interval dimension. + +In addition to these constraints, the interval dimension is subject to constraints on the grid dimensions of the relevant layout grid. Such constraints are specified by the attribute “grid dimensions” applied to the grid frame (see 12.1.2): + +- 1) If the parameter “major / minor dimension” of this attribute specifies a non-negative integer, the major / minor dimension of this layout grid shall be the specified value. +- 2) If the parameter “major / minor dimension” of this attribute specifies the value ‘expansive’, the major / minor dimension of this layout grid shall be the same as the dimension of the area available for the placement of the layout grid in the direction of the major / minor path. + +In both cases, where the attribute “grid dimensions” specifies some fixed value for the grid dimension in the same direction as that of the relevant grid interval, the dimension of this grid interval may take an arbitrary value, provided that: + +- the total amount of all the grid interval dimensions in the relevant direction is constrained to be this fixed value; + - each grid interval dimension in the relevant direction satisfies the constraints imposed by the interval indicator applied to it. +- 3) If the parameter “major / minor dimension” of this attribute specifies the value ‘rule B’, there exists no constraint on the major / minor grid dimension except for those imposed by the area available for the relevant layout grid. + +In this case, the interval dimension shall be a *minimal dimension*. Minimal dimensions for the grid intervals entirely provide an instance of minimal layout of the layout grid. For the details of the minimal layout, refer to 9.1.12. + +#### c) *The parameter “proportional”* + +The parameter “proportional” specifies that the relevant grid interval dimension to which this interval indicator applies shall be determined so that: + +- the interval dimension shall be in specified proportions to other particular grid interval dimensions; +- the interval dimension shall be large enough for the immediately subordinate entry frame intersecting the grid interval concerned. + +The definition of the sub-parameters are as follows: + +- The sub-parameter “group” specifies the group of grid intervals whose dimensions are to be determined in proportion to the relevant grid interval dimension. + +Within the layout grid, this group consists of those grid intervals such that: + +- they are all in the same direction; +- all the interval indicators that apply to them commonly specify the parameter “proportional”; + +- these interval indicators specify the same value for the sub-parameter “group” as the relevant interval indicator does. +- The sub-parameter “imaginary dimension” specifies the dimension of the grid interval measured in a particular imaginary measurement unit. This imaginary measurement unit is shared by all the grid intervals that belong to the same group. + +The layout process shall independently determine the actual dimension for the imaginary measurement unit proper to each individual group of grid intervals. This actual dimension shall be measured in scaled measurement units. Thereafter, the layout process shall determine the dimension of each grid interval that belongs to the group concerned so that: + +- the dimension shall be the product of the determined dimension of the relevant imaginary measurement unit and the value specified for the sub-parameter “imaginary dimension” of the interval indicator applied to this grid interval. +- The sub-parameter “default dimension” specifies the default dimension which the grid interval shall take when no entry frame intersects it. + +If this parameter specifies a value of a non-negative integer, the grid interval dimension shall be this specified value, measured in scaled measurement units, irrespective of the dimensions of the other grid intervals in the same group. + +If this parameter specifies the value ‘null’, the dimension of the grid interval shall be always determined so as to keep the specified proportions to the dimensions of the other grid intervals in the same group, no matter whether any entry frames intersect it. + +In addition to these constraints, the actual dimension of the imaginary measurement unit shall be subject to the constraints imposed by the attribute “grid dimensions”, in the same way as stated in the case of the value “rule B”. + +## 11.5 Grid gutter expressions + +The value of a *grid gutter expression* is a *gutter indicators*. A grid gutter expression may be a value of a parameter of the attribute “grid gutters”. + +The attribute “grid gutters” specifies the gutter space width around major and minor grid lines within the grid frame to which the attribute is applied. The attribute consists of two parameters “around major grid lines” and “around minor grid lines” which respectively specify the gutter space width around major and minor layout grid lines. + +Evaluation of a grid gutter expression specified for the parameter “around major / minor grid lines” may produce either an empty sequence or a sequence of gutter indicators. The length of the derived sequence is the same as the number of the major / minor layout grid lines within the layout grid concerned. + +Each gutter indicator in the sequence specifies the gutter space width around an individual layout grid line: the *i*-th gutter indicator in the sequence specifies the gutter space width around the *i*-th major / minor grid line. + +## 11.6 Gutter indicators + +### Constituents: + +Terminal factors for grid gutter expressions. + +### Structure: + +Consists of two optional parameters: “width”, “precedence”. + +### Permissible values: + +- “width”: a non-negative integer (SMU); +- “precedence”: a non-negative integer. + +### Default values: + +- “width”: 0; +- “precedence”: 0. + +### Definition: + +A gutter indicator consists of two optional parameters: + +- The parameter “width” specifies the gutter space width around the layout grid line to which the gutter indicator is applied. The width is measured in scaled measurement units. + +- If two or more layout grid lines occupy the same position within the grid frame, the same number of gutter indicators are applicable in determining the gutter space width around the line into which those layout grid lines merge. In such degenerate cases, the layout process takes account of the parameter “precedence” associated with those gutter indicators: + - a) among those gutter indicators applicable, the one having the highest “precedence” shall be applied; + - b) if two or more gutter indicators are associated with the highest “precedence”, the last in the sequential order shall be applied. + +## 11.7 Grid line expressions + +A *grid line expressions* is a *line characteristics*. + +A grid line expression may be a value of the parameters “major grid lines” and “minor grid lines” of the attribute “grid lines”. The parameter “major / minor grid lines” specifies a set of sequences of line segment characteristics each of which describes the way in which each individual major / minor grid line is to be imaged. + +A line segment characteristic is a triplet of a line width, line type and line colour, and is applied to an individual grid line segment (see 9.1.4) forming part of a layout grid line. Thus, when a layout grid line is imaged, it may be a sequence of line segments each of which may be imaged in a different way. + +Direct evaluation of a grid line expression specified for the parameter “major / minor grid lines” may produce a sequence of one or more line characteristics. The length of the derived sequence is the same as the number of the major / minor layout grid lines within the layout grid. Each line characteristic in the sequence is applied to an individual layout grid line: the *i*-th line characteristic in the sequence is applied to the *i*-th major / minor layout grid line. + +## 11.8 Line characteristics + +### Constituents: + +Terminal factors for grid line expressions. + +### Structure: + +Consists of two optional parameters: “expression” and “precedence”. + +### Permissible values: + +- “expression”: a line characteristic expression; +- “precedence”: a non-negative integer. + +### Default value: + +- “expression”: the grid optional repetitive construction factor which is the default line segment characteristic (see 11.10); +- “precedence”: 0. + +### Definition: + +A line characteristic consists of two optional parameters: + +- The parameter “expression” takes as its value a line characteristic expression, and the effect is as described in 11.9. +- If two or more layout grid lines merge into a single line, that same number of line characteristics are applicable to the single line into which those layout grid lines merge. In such degenerate cases, the layout process takes the parameter “precedence” associated with those line characteristics into account: + - a) among the line characteristics applicable, the one having the highest “precedence” shall be applied; + - b) if two or more line characteristics are associated with the highest “precedence”, the last in the sequential order shall be applied. + +## 11.9 Line characteristic expressions + +A *line characteristic expressions* is a *line segment characteristics*. + +Evaluation of a grid line expression may produce either an empty sequence or a sequence of line characteristics each of which includes one line characteristic expression. Each line characteristic expression in the sequence is applied to an individual major / minor layout grid line in order to determine the way in which it is to be imaged. + +Evaluation of a line characteristic expression produces a sequence of one or more line segment characteristics. The length of the derived sequence is the same as the number of the *grid line segments* composing the layout grid line. + +Consecutively numbered minor / major layout grid lines may merge into a single line, and therefore the line segment delimited by these grid lines may degenerate into a point. In such cases, the point shall be counted as a line segment. Hence, the number of the line segment composing a layout grid line is the same as the number of the minor / major sizes of the layout grid concerned. + +Each line segment characteristic in the sequence specifies the line width, line type and line colour of an individual grid line segment of the layout grid line to which the line characteristic expression is applied: the $j$ -th line segment characteristic in the sequence specifies the line width, line type and line colour of the $j$ -th line segment of the major / minor layout grid line, where the $j$ -th line segment of the layout grid line is between the $(j - 1)$ -th and $j$ -th minor / major layout grid lines. + +## 11.10 Line segment characteristics + +### Constituents: + +Terminal factors for line characteristic expressions. + +### Structure: + +Consists of three optional parameters: “line width”, “line type”, “line colour”. + +The parameter “line colour”, if specified, is a choice between two sub-parameters: “implementation defined” and “colour expression”. The sub-parameter “implementation defined” is not substructured. The sub-parameter “colour expression” is structured as defined for the colour expressions in 9.1.4.1 of ITU-T Rec.

It either has the value ‘implementation-defined’ (a value that is distinguishable from the colour visible in the layout object) or is given in terms of a colour expression as defined in 9.1.4.1 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. In the case of an indexed colour expression the relevant colour table is specified in the attribute “object colour table” applied to the grid frame that includes the grid line segment or the supplementary line. + +# 12 Attribute definitions + +## 12.1 Layout attributes + +### 12.1.1 Frame alignment point + +#### **Constituents:** + +Frame component descriptions. + +#### **Classification:** + +Non-mandatory for object class descriptions. + +Defaultable for object descriptions. + +#### **Structure:** + +One of the parameters: “subordinate dependent”, “fixed position”, “variable position”. + +The parameter “fixed position” is structured into two optional sub-parameters: “vertical position”, “horizontal position”. + +The parameter “variable position” is structured into two optional sub-parameters: “vertical alignment”, “horizontal alignment”. + +#### **Permissible values:** + +For the parameter “subordinate dependent”: ‘first’, ‘last’. + +For the parameter “fixed position”: + +- “vertical position”: any integer; +- “horizontal position”: any integer. + +For the parameter “variable position”: + +- “vertical alignment”: ‘top’, ‘centre’, ‘bottom’; +- “horizontal alignment”: ‘left’, ‘centre’, ‘right’. + +#### **Default value:** + +If no value is specified, the default value is the parameter “subordinate dependent” with the value ‘first’. + +##### **Definition:** + +**12.1.1.1** The layout process shall take this attribute into account only when applied to a frame subordinate to some grid frame. + +This attribute specifies the position of the alignment point associated with the relevant frame to which the attribute applies. + +**12.1.1.2** The parameter “subordinate dependent” specifies that the alignment point of the relevant frame shall be located on the alignment point associated with one of the immediately subordinate layout objects, no matter whether it is a frame or a block: + +- if the parameter specifies the value ‘first’, then the alignment point of the relevant frame shall occupy the same position as the alignment point of the first immediately subordinate layout object in the sequential layout order; +- if the parameter specifies the value ‘last’, then the alignment point of the relevant frame shall occupy the same position as the alignment point of the last immediately subordinate layout object in the sequential layout order. + +**12.1.1.3** When the attribute specifies the parameter “fixed position”, the sub-parameter “vertical / horizontal position” specifies the vertical / horizontal distance of the alignment point from the reference point of the relevant frame, measured in scaled measurement units. + +The vertical position is measured in the top-to-bottom direction: + +- If the sub-parameter “vertical position” specifies a positive / negative integer, the alignment point shall be located beneath / above the reference point. + +The horizontal position is measured in the left-to-right direction: + +- If the sub-parameter “horizontal position” specifies a positive / negative integer, the alignment point shall be located on the right / left of the reference point. + +An alignment point specified by the parameter “fixed position” may fall outside the relevant frame. + +If this parameter does not specify a value for any of its sub-parameters, then the value zero is assumed for each sub-parameter for which a value is not specified. + +**12.1.1.4** If the attribute specifies the parameter “variable position”, the sub-parameter “vertical / horizontal alignment” specifies the vertical / horizontal position of the alignment point: + +- If the sub-parameter “vertical alignment” specifies the value ‘top’ / ‘bottom’, then the alignment point shall be located on the top / bottom edge of the relevant frame. +If the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘centre’, then the alignment point shall be located equidistant from the top and bottom edges of the relevant frame. +- If the sub-parameter “horizontal alignment” specifies ‘left’ / ‘right’, then the alignment point shall be located on the left / right edge of the relevant frame. +If the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘centre’, then the alignment point shall be located equidistant from the right and left edges of the relevant frame. + +NOTE – The left / right edge of the frame may be different from the left-hand / right-hand edge.

T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2: + +- layout of reproductions of content; +- a layout reference of a grid logical object to grid frames; +- determination of the dimensions of a layout grid; + +- determination of the imaging factors of table lines. + +Additionally, this Specification modifies some functions of the document layout process described in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 in the following areas: + +- processing order of basic logical objects; +- placement of entry frames within a grid frame. + +### 13.1 Layout of reproductions of content + +Duplication of content shall occur only in accordance with the layout directive attribute “obligatory same layout objects” (see 12.2.4). The logical object to which this attribute applies is called a relevant object. The sub-parameter “logical objects” of this attribute specifies zero or more logical objects, called target objects. + +When the layout process commences to lay out the content associated with the relevant object, its content shall be laid out as far as possible within a single layout object. This layout object shall be of one of the layout object classes specified by the parameter “layout objects” of the attribute “obligatory same layout objects” applied to the relevant object, and shall contain the entire content associated with each of the target objects. + +If no such layout object exists, a reproduction of the content associated with each target object may be generated. The entire content of these generated reproductions is laid out within a single layout object of one of the layout object classes specified by the parameter “layout objects”. Then, the content associated with the relevant object is laid out as far as possible within this layout object. + +If the area within this layout object available for the content of the relevant object is consumed completely, the content associated with each target object may be duplicated. The entire content of these generated reproductions is laid out within a single layout object of one of the layout object classes specified by the parameter “layout objects”. Then, the layout process continues to lay out the remaining content of the relevant object. + +This step shall be repeated until all of the content associated with the relevant object has been laid out subject to the constraints imposed by this attribute. + +The relevant object may be a target object of the attribute “obligatory same layout objects” that applies to a different logical object. In such cases, the content of the relevant object may be duplicated. The generated reproduction is also subject to the attribute “obligatory same layout objects” that applies to the relevant object with which the source content portions of the reproduction are associated. Hence, the reproduction shall be laid out in accordance with the same rules as apply to the content associated with the relevant object. + +### 13.2 Layout reference from a grid logical object to grid frames + +When the layout process reaches an active grid logical object, one or more grid frames are identified within the specific layout structure under construction. These grid frames are said to *be referenced* by the grid logical object (see 9.2). + +The layout process shall identify those referenced grid frames in accordance with: + +- the attribute “grid frame classes” applied to the grid logical object; +- the construction expressions specified in the generic layout structure concerned. + +The layout process also generates a layout grid within each of the referenced grid frames, whose major and minor sizes are equal to those of the logical grid associated with the grid logical object. + +The attribute “grid frame classes” further specifies that the content associated with the grid logical object shall be entirely laid out within these referenced grid frames, and that other parts of the document shall be excluded from any of those referenced grid frames. + +In addition, the attribute “grid description” applied to the same grid logical object constrains layout of the content associated with any of those entry objects whose association with their logical grid rectangles are specified by the parameter “entry-location association” of this attribute: the content shall be laid out within frames each of which is such that: + +- it is immediately subordinate to one of the referenced grid frames; +- it is placed within the layout counterpart of the logical grid rectangle with which the entry object is associated (see 8.2). + +### 13.3 Determination of the dimensions of layout grids + +#### 13.3.1 Constraints on the dimensions of layout grids + +The dimensions of a layout grid within a grid frame are subject to the following constraints. + +##### 13.3.1.1 Dimensions and border allowance of the grid frame + +The layout grid shall be entirely within the grid frame. Furthermore, the layout grid shall not fall within the border free space of the grid frame. + +The dimensions and border allowance of the grid frame are specified by the attributes “dimensions” and “border” applied to the grid frame (see also 9.4.1.2 and 9.4.1.3 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2). + +##### 13.3.1.2 Grid dimensions + +The attribute “grid dimensions” applied to the grid frame specifies either specific dimensions or a rule to determine the dimensions of the layout grid (see 12.1.2). + +The attribute is structured into two parameters “major dimension” and “minor dimension” which specify the dimension of the layout grid in the direction of the major and minor path respectively. + +Each parameter includes one of the sub-parameters “fixed dimension”, “expansive dimension” and “rule B”: + +- if the parameter specifies the sub-parameter “fixed dimension”, the dimension of the grid shall be the specified value; +- if the parameter specifies the sub-parameter “expansive dimension”, the dimension shall be the dimension of the area available for placement of the layout grid within the grid frame; +- if the parameter specifies the sub-parameter “rule B”, the parameter specifies no particular constraints. + +##### 13.3.1.3 Grid interval dimensions + +The attribute “grid interval dimensions” applied to the grid frame specifies either specific dimensions or a rule to determine the dimensions of the grid intervals of the layout grid (see 12.1.4). + +To each grid interval dimension, one of the sub-parameters “fixed dimension”, “proportional” and “rule B” is applied: + +- if the parameter specifies the sub-parameter “fixed dimension”, the grid interval dimension concerned shall be the specified value; +- if the parameter specifies the sub-parameter “proportional”, the ratio of the grid interval dimension to other specified grid interval dimensions shall have the specified value; +- if the parameter specifies the sub-parameter “rule B”, the parameter specifies no particular constraints on the grid interval dimension. + +#### 13.3.2 Minimal layout of the layout grid + +The document layout process determines all the grid interval dimensions of a layout grid so that the determination shall provide a *minimal layout* of the layout grid. + +Determination of the grid interval dimensions of a layout grid provides a *minimal layout*, if and only if, for an arbitrary subset of the grid intervals of the layout grid, their determined dimensions cannot be decreased without increasing the determined dimensions for other grid intervals or violating the constraints described in 13.3.1. + +In general, there may be two or more instances of minimal layout of the layout grid. The layout process is merely constrained to select an arbitrary instance of minimal layout for each layout grid. + +Based on the instance of minimal layout that the layout process selects, the layout process assigns values to the parameters of the attribute “grid interval dimensions” specified in the grid frame description corresponding to the relevant grid frame. The specified values are: + +- for the parameter “major / minor interval dimensions”, a grid construction expression of the grid sequence construction type composed of interval indicators such that the *i*-th interval indicator has the value of the parameter “fixed dimension” associated with the value of the dimension of the *i*-th major / minor grid interval. + +### 13.4 Determination of the imaging factors of table lines + +A *grid line segment* is a segment of a layout grid line delimited by two consecutively numbered layout grid lines intersecting that layout grid line at right angles. + +The layout process determines the line segment characteristic to be applied to each grid line segment in accordance with the attribute “grid lines” specified by the grid frame class description. + +Evaluation of a grid line expression specified for the parameters of the attribute may produce a set of line segment characteristics. Each line segment characteristic applies to an individual grid line segment (see 11.7). This line segment characteristic indicates the imaging factors (the line width, line type and line colour) applicable to the grid line segment (see 11.10). + +If the grid line segment is within the interior of some grid rectangle to which one or more entry frames are bound, the line segment characteristic shall be modified so as to specify the invisible line type. + +If at least one line segment characteristic derived from the attribute “grid lines” specified in the class description is modified, the layout process assigns values to the attribute “grid lines” specified in the object description corresponding to the relevant grid frame, so that the modification is reflected: + +- For the parameter “major / minor grid lines”, a grid line expression of the grid sequence construction type consisting of line characteristics is specified. +The value of the parameter “expression” of the $i$ -th line segment characteristic expression involved is of the grid sequence construction type consisting of line segment characteristics such that the $j$ -th line segment characteristic indicates the imaging factors of the $j$ -th line segment of the $i$ -th major /minor grid line. + +If no line segment characteristic derived from evaluation of the attribute “grid lines” is modified, the layout process should assign the same values to this attribute in the object description as those specified for the attribute “grid lines” in the grid frame class description. + +### **13.5 Processing order of basic logical objects** + +If the relevant specific logical structure does not contain any grid logical objects to which the attribute “grid frame classes” applies, the order in which the layout process lays out the content associated with the basic logical objects of the specific logical structure is their sequential logical order (see 7.1.2 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2). + +If the specific logical structure contains grid logical objects to which the attribute “grid frame classes” applies (called *active grid logical objects*), then the layout process shall determine the order in which it processes basic logical objects according to the values of the parameter “entry-location association” of the attribute “grid description” and the attribute “presentation precedence” which are both applied to those active grid logical objects. These values specified for each active grid logical object provide an independent constraint on the processing order of the basic logical objects subordinate to this grid logical object (see 12.2.5). + +Hence, if two or more active grid logical objects are superior to a single basic logical object, the values of the parameter “entry-location association” and the attribute “presentation precedence” applied to those active grid logical objects may impose contradictory constraints on the processing order around this basic logical object. The logical structure shall be designed so that such contradictory situations shall not occur. + +If all active grid logical objects satisfy the condition: + +- no other active grid logical objects shall be located between an active grid logical object and any of its entry objects, whose association with the grid rectangle is defined by the parameter “entry-location association” of the attribute “grid description” applied to that active grid logical object, + +their constraints on the processing order are always compatible. It is recommended that the specific logical structure be designed in this way. + +### **13.6 Placement of an entry frame not bound to a grid rectangle** + +An entry frame is, by definition, to be variably positioned. Hence, the value of the attribute “position” in the frame class description for the entry frame specifies the four sub-parameters “offset”, “separation”, “alignment” and “fill order”. + +If the entry frame is not bound to any grid rectangle, the entry frame shall be laid out within its immediately superior grid frame as described in 10.5.2 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2, provided that the layout process takes account of only those entry frames which are not bound to any grid rectangle within their common immediately superior grid frame (see 12.1.10). + +The area available for placement of the entry frame is determined in accordance with: + +- the attribute “border” applied to the immediately superior grid frame; +- the sub-parameter “offset” applied to the entry frame; + +- the sub-parameters “separation” and “fill order” applied to those entry frames which are not bound to any grid rectangles. + +The sub-sub-parameters “leading edge” and “trailing edge” of the sub-parameter “separation” constrain the distances between the leading edge and trailing edge of any two adjacent entry frames with the same fill order, neither of which is bound to any grid rectangles. + +The sub-sub-parameter “center separation” of the sub-parameter “separation” constrains the distances between the leading edge and trailing edge of the adjacent entry frames with different fill orders, neither of which is bound to any grid rectangles. + +The entry frame is positioned within this available area as specified by the sub-parameter “fill order”. + +### 13.7 Placement of an entry frame bound to a grid rectangle + +If an entry frame accommodates content associated with some entry object, then the entry frame shall be laid out within a particular layout grid rectangle. This entry frame is said to be *bound to* that layout grid rectangle. For placement of the entry frame, the following are carried out: + +- determine the area available for placement of the entry frame (see 13.7.1); +- position the entry frame within the determined available area (see 13.7.2); +- for each temporarily positioned entry frame, determine the area available for its placement (see 13.7.1 and 13.7.3); +- position this temporarily positioned entry frame within the determined available area (see 13.7.2 and 13.7.3); +- repeat the steps c) and d) until no temporarily positioned entry frame is left; +- rectify the position of the entry frames with centre order which are involved in the above steps (see 13.7.4). + +#### 13.7.1 Determination of the area available for placement of entry frames + +The area available for placement of an entry frame is confined to the inside of the layout grid rectangle to which the entry frame is bound. Further, the following constrain the available area: + +- the attribute “grid gutters” applied to the immediately superior grid frame; +- the sub-parameter “offset” applied to the entry frame; +- the sub-parameters “separation” and “fill order” applied to those entry frames which are bound to the same grid rectangle. + +In addition, in calculating the available area, some entry frames may be *temporarily positioned*. + +##### 13.7.1.1 Constraints imposed by the attribute “grid gutters” + +The entry frame is constrained not to fall within the gutter spaces reserved around the edges of the grid rectangle to which the entry frame is bound. + +The gutter space widths are specified by the attribute “grid gutters” applied to the immediately superior grid frame (see 12.1.3). + +##### 13.7.1.2 Constraints imposed by the sub-parameter “offset” + +The entry frame shall be so positioned that the distance between the corresponding edge of the grid rectangle to which the entry frame is bound and the trailing, leading, left-hand and right-hand edges of the entry frame shall be no less than the minimum amounts specified respectively by the four sub-sub-parameters “trailing offset”, “leading offset”, “left-hand offset” and “right-hand offset” of the sub-parameter “offset”. + +##### 13.7.1.3 Constraints imposed by the sub-parameter “separation” + +The entry frame shall be so positioned that separation from the adjacent sibling entry frames which are also bound to the same grid rectangle shall be no less than the minimum amounts determined in accordance with the sub-parameter “separation” applied to the entry frame and its adjacent siblings. This sub-parameter is structured into three sub-sub-parameters: “leading edge”, “trailing edge” and “centre separation”. + +### 13.7.1.3.1 The sub-sub-parameters “leading edge” and “trailing edge” + +If the adjacent entry frame is placed earlier in the direction of the layout path within the same grid rectangle, and it is laid out in the same fill order, then the distance between the leading edge of this adjacent entry frame and the trailing edge of the relevant entry frame is constrained to be no less than the maximum of: + +- the value of the sub-sub-parameter “leading edge” applied to the adjacent entry frame; +- the value of the sub-sub-parameter “trailing edge” applied to the entry frame concerned. + +If the adjacent entry frame is placed later in the direction of the layout path within the same grid rectangle, and it is laid out in the same fill order, then the distance between the trailing edge of this adjacent entry frame and the leading edge of the relevant entry frame is constrained to be no less than the maximum of: + +- the value of the sub-sub-parameter “trailing edge” applied to the adjacent entry frame; +- the value of the sub-sub-parameter “leading edge” applied to the entry frame concerned. + +### 13.7.1.3.2 The sub-sub-parameter “centre separation” + +If the adjacent entry frame is laid out in a different fill order within the same grid rectangle, the pair of edges whose distance is to be constrained is one of the following: + +- a) the leading edge of the adjacent entry frame and the trailing edge of the relevant entry frame; +- b) the trailing edge of the adjacent entry frame and the leading edge of the relevant entry frame. + +Case a) applies if any of the following applies: + +- the normal order applies to the adjacent entry frame, and the centre order applies to the relevant entry frame; +- the normal order applies to the adjacent entry frame, the reverse order applies to the relevant entry frame, and no entry frame is laid out in centre order within the same grid rectangle; +- the centre order applies to the adjacent entry frame, and the reverse order applies to the relevant entry frame. + +Case b) applies if any of the following applies: + +- the centre order applies to the adjacent entry frame, and the normal order applies to the relevant entry frame; +- the reverse order applies to the adjacent entry frame, and the centre order applies to the relevant entry frame; +- the reverse order applies to the adjacent entry frame, the normal order applies to the relevant entry frame, and no entry frame is laid out in centre order within the same grid rectangle. + +In both of cases a) and b), the distance between the edges is constrained to be no less than the maximum of: + +- the value of the sub-sub-parameter “centre separation” applied to the adjacent entry frame; +- the value of the sub-sub-parameter “centre separation” applied to the entry frame concerned. + +### 13.7.1.4 Temporary positioning of entry frames + +In calculating the area available for placement of an entry frame, the layout process *temporarily positions* entry frames already laid out within the same grid rectangle. Then, the layout process determines the dimensions of the available area in accordance with the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +The layout process may re-calculate the available area for an entry frame which has already been laid out. This re-calculation occurs when the position of the entry frame is to be rectified because the entry frame is involved in some reference line alignment invoked by layout of another entry frame. + +Those entry frames which are to be temporarily positioned vary depending on the fill order that applies to the relevant entry frame. + +#### 13.7.1.4.1 Available area for an entry frame with normal order + +For the purpose of calculating the available area for an entry frame with normal order, all entry frames laid out in centre order are *temporarily positioned* as far as possible in the direction of the layout path, without violating the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +For the purpose of re-calculating the available area for an entry frame already laid out, all entry frames laid out in normal order subsequent to the entry frame concerned are further *temporarily positioned* as far as possible in the direction of the layout path, without violating the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +Then, the area available for placement is determined taking into account the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3 (see Figure 21). + +#### 13.7.1.4.2 Available area for an entry frame with centre order + +For the purpose of calculating the available area for an entry frame with centre order, all entry frames laid out in centre order prior to the entry frame concerned are *temporarily positioned* as far as possible in the direction opposite to the layout path, without violating the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +For the purpose of re-calculating the available area for an entry frame already laid out, all entry frames laid out in centre order subsequent to the entry frame concerned are further *temporarily positioned* as far as possible in the direction of the layout path, without violating the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +Then, the area available for placement is determined taking into account the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3 (see Figure 22). + +#### 13.7.1.4.3 Available area for an entry frame with reverse order + +For the purpose of calculating the available area for an entry frame with reverse order, all entry frames laid out in centre order and all entry frames laid out in reverse order prior to the entry frame concerned are *temporarily positioned* as far as possible in the direction opposite to the layout path, without violating the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +For the purpose of re-calculating the available area for an entry frame already laid out, all entry frames laid out in centre order and all entry frames laid out in reverse order prior to the entry frame concerned are *temporarily positioned* as far as possible in the direction opposite to the layout path, without violating any of the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3. + +Then, the area available for placement is determined taking into account the constraints described in 13.7.1.1 – 13.7.1.3 (see Figure 23). + +#### 13.7.1.5 The following notations are used in Figures 21, 22 and 23: + +- $G_1$ Gutter width around gridline1 +- $G_2$ Gutter width around gridline2 +- $G_3$ Gutter width around gridline3 +- $G_4$ Gutter width around gridline4 +- $O_t$ Trailing offset of the relevant entry frame +- $O_l$ Leading offset of the relevant entry frame +- $O_{lh}$ Left-hand offset of the relevant entry frame +- $O_{rh}$ Right-hand offset of the relevant entry frame +- $S_t$ Trailing separation of the relevant entry frame +- $S_l$ Leading edge separation of the relevant entry frame +- $S_c$ Centre separation of the relevant entry frame +- $O^{A,t}$ Trailing offset of frame A +- $O^{A,l}$ Leading offset of frame A +- $S^{A,t}$ Trailing edge separation of frame A +- $S^{A,l}$ Leading edge separation of frame A +- $S^{A,c}$ Centre separation of frame A +- $H^A$ Height of frame A +- $O^{B,t}$ Trailing offset of frame B +- $O^{B,l}$ Leading offset of frame B +- $S^{B,t}$ Trailing edge separation of frame B +- $S^{B,l}$ Leading edge separation of frame B + +$S^{B,c}$ Centre separation of frame B + +$H^B$ Height of frame B + +$O^{C,t}$ Trailing offset of frame C + +$O^{C,l}$ Leading offset of frame C + +$S^{C,t}$ Trailing edge separation of frame C + +$S^{C,l}$ Leading edge separation of frame C + +$S^{C,c}$ Centre separation of frame C + +$H^C$ Height of frame C + +![Diagram illustrating the available area for an entry frame with normal order.

These groups of entry frames are called *alignment groups*. + +Placement of an entry frame is carried out in one of the following ways: cases a) and b): + +- a) if the entry frame to be positioned is included in one of the alignment groups, the layout process positions this relevant entry frame and the other entry frames in this alignment group as a group (see 13.7.2.2); +- b) if the entry frame is not included in any of the alignment groups, the layout process positions this relevant entry frame independent of any other entry frames (see 13.7.2.1). + +### 13.7.2.1 Placement of an independent entry frame + +An entry frame which is not involved in any instance of reference line alignment is positioned within its available area under the following constraints. + +#### 13.7.2.1.1 Layout path and fill order + +In positioning the entry frame in the direction of the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the layout process shall take account of the fill order of the entry frame and the layout path. + +The fill order, which is specified by the sub-parameter “fill order” applied to the entry frame, has one of the values ‘normal order’, ‘centre order’ and ‘reverse order’: + +- If the sub-parameter “fill order” specifies the value ‘normal order’, the entry frame is positioned within the available area as close as possible to the trailing edge of the available area. +- If the sub-parameter “fill order” specifies ‘centre order’, the entry frame is positioned within the available area as close as possible to the trailing edge of the available area. + +This position of the entry frame is just temporary. The position of the entry frame, together with those of other entry frames laid out in centre order, shall subsequently be rectified as described in 13.7.4. +- If the sub-parameter “fill order” specifies the value ‘reverse order’, the entry frame is positioned within the available area as close as possible to the leading edge of the available area. + +#### 13.7.2.1.2 Alignment + +In positioning the entry frame in the direction orthogonal to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the layout process shall take account of the alignment type applied to the entry frame. + +The alignment type, which is specified by the sub-parameter “alignment” applied to the entry frame, has one of the values ‘left-hand aligned’, ‘centred’ and ‘right-hand aligned’: + +- if the sub-parameter “alignment” specifies the value ‘left-hand aligned’, the entry frame is positioned as close as possible to the left-hand edge of the available area; +- if the sub-parameter “alignment” specifies the value ‘centred’, the entry frame is centred, in the direction orthogonal to the layout path, within the available area; +- if the sub-parameter “alignment” specifies the value ‘right-hand aligned’, the entry frame is positioned as close as possible to the right-hand edge of the available area. + +### 13.7.2.2 Placement of entry frames in an alignment group + +If the entry frame to be positioned is included in some alignment group, the layout process positions all entry frames in this alignment group as a group. More precisely, the layout process aligns those entry frames along a single reference line. + +This reference line is parallel to either the major path or the minor path of the immediately superior grid frame. If the reference line alignment occurs in accordance with the attribute “reference line alignment – major / minor”, then the associated reference line runs parallel to the major / minor path. + +In positioning the entry frames in this alignment group, the layout process takes account of: + +- the attribute “frame alignment point” applied to the entry frames in the alignment group; +- the attribute “indent – major” applied to the entry frames in the alignment group, if the reference line is parallel to the major path of the immediately superior grid frame; +- the attribute “indent – minor” applied to the entry frames in the alignment group, if the reference line is parallel to the minor path of the immediately superior grid frame; +- the sub-parameters “fill order” and “alignment of the parameter position” applied to the relevant entry frame. + +**13.7.2.2.1 Determination of alignment groups** + +At the first step of placement of an entry frame, which is involved in reference alignment, the layout process shall identify those alignment groups including the entry frame to be positioned (see 12.1.11). The entry frame is included in one or two alignment groups. Each alignment group is composed of two or more entry frames including the relevant entry frame, and if the entry frame is included in two alignment groups, then their associated reference lines are orthogonal to each other. + +Furthermore, the alignment group satisfies the following conditions (see 12.1.11): + +- Every entry frame in the alignment group shall be bound to a grid rectangle within the common immediately superior grid frame. Although different entry frames in the group may be bound to different grid rectangles, those grid rectangles shall be edged with two common layout grid lines parallel to their associated reference line. +- If the reference line is parallel to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the sub-parameter “alignment” applied to each entry frame in the group shall specify a common value. +- If the reference line is orthogonal to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the sub-parameter “fill order” applied to each entry frame in the group shall specify a common value. + +**13.7.2.2.2 Determination of available areas** + +At the second step, the layout process calculates the area available for placement of the entry frames in the alignment group. + +The available area for the relevant entry frame is calculated as described in 13.7.1. + +For the available area for each of the other entry frames in the alignment group: + +- if the reference line is orthogonal to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the area is calculated as described in 13.7.1; +- if the reference line is parallel to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, only the position of the entry frame in the direction orthogonal to the reference line is calculated; hence no entry frames are temporarily positioned during the calculation of the available area (see 13.7.1.4). + +**13.7.2.2.3 Placement of entry frames in the direction of the reference line** + +The position of the relevant entry frame in the direction of the reference line shall be determined in accordance with: + +- the sub-parameter “fill order” applied to this entry frame, if the reference line is parallel to the layout path, and if the entry frame is not involved in any other instance of reference line alignment (see 13.7.2.1.1); +- the sub-parameter “alignment” applied to this entry frame, if the reference line is orthogonal to the layout path, and if the entry frame is not involved in any other instance of reference line alignment (see 13.7.2.1.2); +- the rule described in 13.7.2.2.4, if the entry frame is involved in another instance of reference line alignment. + +The position of each of the other entry frames in the alignment group in the direction of the reference line remains unchanged. + +**13.7.2.2.4 Placement of entry frames in the direction orthogonal to the reference line** + +The positions of the entry frames in the direction orthogonal to the reference line shall be determined by the following two steps: + +- At the first step, the entry frames are positioned relative to the reference line. +- At the second step, the reference line is positioned. There are two cases: + - the reference line is parallel to the layout path; + - the reference line is orthogonal to the layout path. + +**13.7.2.2.4.1 Placement of entry frames relative to the reference line** + +Entry frames which are to be aligned along a single reference line are first positioned relative to the reference line. In this step, the layout process shall take account of the alignment point and the indent applied to each entry frame. + +- The attribute “frame alignment point” applied to the entry frame specifies the position of the alignment point associated with the entry frame. + +- Either the attribute “indent – major” or “indent – minor” applied to the entry frame specifies the distance between the alignment point associated with the entry frame and the reference line. + +If the relevant instance of reference line alignment is in accordance with the attribute “reference line alignment – major / minor”, then the value of the attribute “indent – major / minor” specifies the amount of indent (see also Figure 12). If the attribute “indent – major / minor” does not apply to the entry frame, then the value zero is assumed for this attribute. + +Thus, the layout process evaluates the attributes “frame alignment point” and “indent – major / minor” applied to each entry frame involved in this instance of reference line alignment, and determines its position in the orthogonal direction viewed from the reference line concerned. + +#### 13.7.2.2.4.2 Placement of the reference line parallel to the layout path + +If the reference line is parallel to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the layout process positions the reference line taking account of the sub-parameter “alignment” applied to the entry frames aligned along this reference line. + +NOTE – For every entry frame concerned, the sub-parameter “alignment” always specifies the same value (see 12.1.11). + +The value of the sub-parameter “alignment” is one of the values ‘left-hand aligned’, ‘centred’ and ‘right-hand aligned’. + +Irrespective of the value of the sub-parameter, the reference line shall be positioned so that every entry frame in this alignment group shall fall entirely within the area available for placement of the entry frame. + +Subject to this common constraint, the reference line is positioned as follows: + +- if the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘left-hand aligned’, the reference line is positioned as far as possible in the direction which traverses the layout path at right angles in an anticlockwise direction; +- if the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘right-hand aligned’, the reference line is positioned as far as possible in the direction which traverses the layout path at right angles in a clockwise direction; +- if the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘centred’, the reference line is positioned equidistant from the following two imaginary positions: + - the position at which the reference line would be placed, if the sub-parameter specified the value ‘left-hand aligned’; + - the position at which the reference line would be placed, if the sub-parameter specified the value ‘right-hand aligned’. + +#### 13.7.2.2.4.3 Placement of the reference line running orthogonal to the layout path + +If the reference line is orthogonal to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame, the layout process positions the reference line taking account of the sub-parameter “fill order” applied to the entry frames aligned along this reference line. + +NOTE – For every entry frame concerned, the sub-parameter “fill order” specifies the same value (see 12.1.11). + +The value of the sub-parameter “fill order” is one of the values ‘normal order’, ‘centre order’ and ‘reverse order’. + +Irrespective of the value of the sub-parameter, the reference line shall be positioned so that every entry frame in this alignment group shall fall entirely within the area available for placement of the entry frame (see Figure 24). + +Subject to this common constraint, the reference line is to be positioned as follows: + +- If the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘normal order’, the reference line is positioned as far as possible in the direction opposite to the layout path. +- If the sub-parameter specifies ‘centre order’, the reference line is positioned as far as possible in the direction opposite to the layout path. + +The position of the reference line determined in this step is just temporary. The position of the reference line, together with that of other entry frames laid out in centre order, shall subsequently be rectified as described 13.7.4. + +- If the sub-parameter specifies the value ‘reverse order’, the reference line is positioned as far as possible in the direction of the layout path. + +### 13.7.3 Placement of temporarily positioned entry frames + +When the layout process calculates the area available for placement of entry frames, it may also *temporarily position* them (see 13.7.1.4).

Hence: + +- a) if that entry frame is not involved in any instance of reference line alignment such that the associated reference line is orthogonal to the layout path, the rule described in 13.7.2.1.1 applies to the placement; such a frame is called *independent*; +- b) if that entry frame is involved in some instance of reference line alignment such that the associated reference line is orthogonal to the layout path, the rule described in 13.7.2.2.3 and 13.7.2.2.4 applies to the placement; such a frame is called *associated*. + +The fill orders of those temporarily positioned entry frames are dependent on the fill order of the initial entry frame that the layout process initially tries to lay out: + +- if the initial entry frame is positioned in normal order, the fill order of an arbitrary entry frame positioned temporarily is either normal or centre order; +- if the initial entry frame is positioned in reverse order, the fill order of an arbitrary entry frame positioned temporarily is either reverse or centre order; +- if the initial entry frame is positioned in centre order, the fill order of an arbitrary entry frame positioned temporarily is always centre order. + +The order in which the layout process repositions them varies depending on the values of fill order applied to them. + +- The layout process repositions an entry frame with normal / reverse order, if one of the following applies: + - a) the entry frame is of the independent type, and it is the first / last in the sequential layout order among those entry frames with normal / reverse order that are temporarily positioned within the layout grid rectangle to which the entry frame concerned is bound and that have not been repositioned yet; + - b) the entry frame is of the associated type, and each entry frame in the alignment group is the first / last in the sequential layout order among those entry frames with normal / reverse order that are temporarily positioned within the layout grid rectangle to which this entry frame is bound and that have not been repositioned yet. +- If one or more entry frames with centre order are temporarily positioned, the layout process shall first reposition all entry frames positioned temporarily in normal or reverse order.

At the final step, the layout process shall rectify their positions in the direction of the layout path. The entry frames involved in this rectification are such that: + +- they are to be positioned in centre order; +- their positions in the direction of the layout path are determined in accordance with 13.7.2.1.1 and 13.7.2.2.4.3. + +The following two steps are carried out: + +- a) the layout process packs those involved entry frames with centre order; +- b) the layout process moves the involved entry frames as a group in the direction of the layout path. + +##### 13.7.4.1 Packing of entry frames + +The layout process classifies all the involved entry frames into two groups, which are respectively called the *movable* group and the *immovable* group. The movable and immovable groups shall satisfy the following: + +- the movable and immovable groups shall contain no common entry frame; +- if two entry frames are included respectively in the movable and immovable group, and if they are positioned within the same grid rectangle, then the former entry frame shall precede the latter in the direction of the layout path; +- there shall be at least one grid rectangle within which at least one entry frame belonging to the movable group and at least one entry frame belonging to the immovable group are positioned; +- if an entry frame is of the associated type, then all entry frames in the associated alignment group shall be included in either the movable or immovable group to which that entry frame belongs. + +The layout process moves all the entry frames in this movable group by the same amount in the direction of the layout path. The distance moved shall be as large as possible, subject to the constraints imposed by: + +- the attribute “grid gutters” applied to the immediately superior grid frame; +- the sub-parameters “offset” and “separation” applied to all the entry frames within the grid frame. + +The layout process repeats these procedures until there exists no movable group which can be moved by a positive amount. + +#### 13.7.4.2 Final placement of the entry frames + +After the involved entry frames are packed, the layout process finally moves all the involved entry frames by the same amount in the direction of the layout path. + +The distance moved is one half of the maximum possible, subject to the constraints imposed by: + +- the attribute “grid gutters” applied to the immediately superior grid frame; +- the sub-parameters “offset” and “separation” applied to all the entry frames within the grid frame. + +### 14 Reference model of the document imaging process with respect to tabular layout + +This clause provides a description of the document imaging process as applicable to documents of the formatted document architecture class or the formatted processable document architecture class (see 6.3.13 of ITU-T Rec.

In the case of the formatted processable document architecture class, other constituents are present but these do not affect the imaging process. + +Specifically, this clause provides a description of those functions which the document imaging process provides when processing grid frames that include a layout grid. + +The functions described in this clause are all additional to the functions described in clause 11 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. Hence, they do not affect the definition of the reference model of the document imaging process provided by clause 11 of ITU-T Rec.

The grid is drawn with solid lines of varying widths (4 SMU, 2 SMU, 1 SMU) and dashed lines (1 SMU). + +Figure B.2 – Example 1 + +The layout object class description 0 0 0 defines the following constraints on tabular layout: + +- the table includes one or more rows and one or more columns; +- the height of the first row is not smaller than 40 SMU; +- the heights of the following rows are all the same; +- the width of the first column is 100 SMU; +- the widths of the following columns except the last one are all the same; +- the last column is twice as wide as the second column; +- the four bordering edges of the table are drawn with the wide solid line (4 SMU wide); +- the separating line of the first and second rows is imaged with the medium wide solid line (2 SMU wide); +- the other separating lines of adjacent rows are imaged with the narrow solid line (1 SMU wide) within the second and the following columns, and invisible within the first column; +- the separating line of the first and second columns is drawn with the medium wide solid line (2 SMU wide); +- the separating line of the last column and its immediately preceding column is drawn with the narrow solid line (1 SMU wide); +- the other separating lines of adjacent columns are drawn with the narrow dashed line (1 SMU wide); +- the total width of the table does not exceed 270 SMU; +- the total height of the table does not exceed 90 SMU; +- the gutter space width around each line, which specifies a free space around the line to be kept blank, is 10 SMU; +- the table as a whole is positioned vertically top aligned and horizontally centred within a table frame. + +Moreover, the four layout object class descriptions for entry frames, whose identifiers are 0 0 0 0 to 0 0 0 3, define the following constraints on tabular layout: + +- the box headings are bottom aligned and horizontally centred; +- the row headings are top aligned and left-hand aligned (viewed from the reader); +- the literal data are top aligned and right-hand aligned (viewed from the reader); +- the figure data are centred in both the horizontal and vertical directions. + +**B.2 Example 2****B.2.1 Generic Logical Structure** + +| | | +|--------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| +| Object Type | document logical root | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 | +| Generator for Subordinates | REQ ( 2 0 ) | +| Object Type | grid logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 | +| Generator for Subordinates | SEQ ( 2 0 0, OPTREP ( 2 0 1 ) ) | +| Grid Frame Classes | REP ( 0 0 0 ) -- style attribute | +| Object Type | composite logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 0 (box heading row) | +| Generator for Subordinates | OPTREP ( 2 0 0 0 ) | +| Object Type | basic logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 0 0 (box headings) | +| Layout Object Class | 0 0 0 0 -- style attribute | +| Object Type | composite logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 1 (row) | +| Generator for Subordinates | SEQ ( 2 0 1 0, OPTREP ( CHO ( 2 0 1 1, 2 0 1 2 ) ) ) | +| Obligatory Same Layout Objects | -- style attribute | +| To-Logical-Object-Class | 2 0 0 | +| To-Layout-Object-Class | 0 0 0 | +| Object Type | basic logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 1 0 (row headings) | +| Layout Object Class | 0 0 0 1 -- style attribute | +| Object Type | basic logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 1 1 (literal data) | +| Layout Object Class | 0 0 0 2 -- style attribute | +| Object Type | composite logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 1 2 (figure data) | +| Generator for Subordinates | SEQ ( 2 0 1 2 0, 2 0 1 2 1 ) | +| Layout Object Class | 0 0 0 3 -- style attribute | +| Object Type | basic logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 1 2 0 (figure) | +| Block Alignment | centred -- style attribute | +| Object Type | basic logical | +| Object Class Identifier | 2 0 1 2 1 (caption) | +| Block Alignment | centred -- style attribute | + +![Figure B.3: Generic Logical Structure of Example 2.

| + +Legend: +entry frame +border + +TISO5310-95/d28 + +A diagram of a formatted table layout with dimensions. The table is enclosed in a grid frame of 270x90 units. It shows internal cells with content 'XXX', 'YYY', 'AAA', '111111.', '22.', 'BBB', '33.', and '444.', each associated with a numeric ID (1000-1007). Horizontal dimensions are 15, 15, 100, 35, 35, 70, 15, 15. Vertical dimensions are 15, 40, 22, 22, 15. + +Figure B.5 – Formatted Table of Example 2 + +**B.2.4.1 Determination of column widths** + +The grid frame 1 0 0 is referred to by the grid logical object 3 0 by means of the attribute “grid frame classes” specified for the grid logical object class 2 0 (see 9.2). + +Therefore, the layout grid within the grid frame 1 0 0 has the same number of minor grid intervals as the minor size of the logical grid associated with the grid logical object 3 0. The value specified by the parameter “minor size” of the attribute “grid description” applied to this grid logical object is 5, and the layout grid contains 5 columns. + +The parameter “minor interval dimensions” applies to the grid frame class 0 0 0 with the value: + +``` +SEQ ( + fixed-dimension { 100 }, + OPTREP ( proportional { group = 1, im-dim = 1, default = 0 } ), + proportional { group = 1, im-dim = 2, } +) +``` + +This parameter specifies the minor grid interval dimensions, namely the widths of the columns within the layout grid. Since the layout grid has 5 minor grid intervals, the grid interval expression specified for the parameter “minor interval dimensions” shall evaluate to a sequence of 5 interval indicators, each of which specifies a rule to determine the dimension of each individual minor grid interval (see 11.4). The sequence to be derived from the expression is: + +``` +fixed-dimension{100} +proportional {group = 1, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 1, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 1, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 1, im-dim = 2,} +``` + +The *i*-th interval indicator in the sequence is used to determine the *i*-th minor grid interval dimension. + +- the width of the 1st column shall be fixed to be 100 SMU; +- the 2nd to 5th column widths shall be variable and proportional to one another; +- each of the 2nd to 4th column widths shall be the default width 0, if no content is laid out within this column; +- whenever two of the 2nd to 4th column widths are positive, they shall be the same; +- the 5th column shall be always twice as wide as the positive width of any of the 2nd to 4th columns. + +Actually, in Figure B.5, the 2nd and 3rd columns have the same width 35 SMU, which is determined by the horizontal dimension of the image of the text ‘11111.’ and the gutter space widths around the 1st and 2nd minor grid lines. + +Since no content is laid out within the 4th column, the default width 0 is applied to the 4th column width. Hence, the 4th column degenerates, and the table looks as if it had only 4 columns. + +In contrast with the 4th column, although no content is laid out within the 5th column either, the 5th column is twice as wide as the 2nd and 3rd column: without a default width specified for a proportionally determined grid interval dimension, the grid interval dimension is always determined so as to keep the specified proportion to other grid interval dimensions. + +**B.2.4.2 Determination of imaging factors of vertical lines** + +The parameter “minor grid lines” is specified for the layout object class 0 0 0 with the value: + +``` +SEQ ( + { OPTREP ( { 4, solid, black } ), precedence = 5 }, + { OPTREP ( { 2, solid, black } ), precedence = 4 }, + OPTREP ( { OPTREP ( { 1, dashed, black } ), precedence = 0 } ), + { OPTREP ( { 1, solid, black } ), precedence = 1 }, + { OPTREP ( { 4, solid, black } ), precedence = 5 } +) +``` + +This parameter shall be used to determine the imaging factors of the minor grid lines (vertical lines) forming part of the layout grid. Since the minor size of the layout grid is 5, it contains 6 minor layout grid lines (vertical lines). Hence, the above grid line expression specified for the attribute “minor grid lines” shall evaluate to a sequence of 6 line characteristic expressions. The derived sequence is: + +``` +OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) +OPTREP ({2, solid, black}) +OPTREP ({1, dashed, black}) +OPTREP ({1, dashed, black}) +OPTREP ({1, solid, black}) +OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) +``` + +These line characteristic expressions in the sequence are sequentially applied to the minor grid lines. + +To the 0th minor layout grid line (the left edge of the table), for example, the line characteristic expression OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) is applied. Since the major size of the layout grid is 6, the layout grid line is divided into 6 grid line segments. Hence, this line characteristic expression evaluates to the sequence of 6 line segment characteristics: + +**{4, solid, black}, {4, solid, black}, {4, solid, black}, {4, solid, black}, {4, solid, black}, {4, solid, black}** + +The *i*-th line segment characteristic is applied to the *i*-th grid line segment of the grid line. In this case, since the line segment characteristics involved in the sequence are all the same ({4, solid, black}), the grid line is imaged with the wide solid line (4 SMU wide). + +In the same way, OPTREP ({2, solid, black}), OPTREP ({1, dashed, black}), OPTREP ({1, dashed, black}), OPTREP ({1, solid, black}) and OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) are respectively applied to the 1st to 5th minor grid lines. + +Since the dimension of the 4th minor grid interval is 0, the vertical lines with which the grid interval is edged, namely the 3rd and 4th minor grid line, merge into a single line. Therefore, two line characteristic expressions OPTREP ({1, dashed, black}) and OPTREP ({1, solid, black}) are applicable to this single line: the former specifies that the line shall be imaged with the narrow dashed line, while the latter does that the line shall be imaged with the narrow solid line. + +The layout process takes account of the precedence associated with each line characteristic expression: the line characteristic expression associated with higher precedence shall precede the other. In this case, the expression for the dashed line is associated with precedence 0, whilst the expression for the solid line is associated with precedence 1. Consequently, the line characteristic expression OPTREP ({1, solid, black}) takes precedence over the expression OPTREP ({1, dashed, black}), and therefore the line is imaged with the solid line (see 11.8). + +#### B.2.4.3 Determination of heights of rows + +Since the major size of the logical grid is specified as 6, the layout grid contains 6 major grid intervals. The parameter “major interval dimensions” specifies the dimensions of those grid intervals, namely the heights of the rows. In the same way as in determining the minor grid interval dimensions, the layout process evaluates the grid interval expression. + +``` +SEQ ( + rule-b {minimum = 30, }, + OPTREP ( proportional {group = 0, im-dim = 1, default = 0} ) +) +``` + +to the sequence of 6 entries: + +``` +rule-b {minimum = 40, } +proportional {group = 0, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 0, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 0, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 0, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +proportional {group = 0, im-dim = 1, default = 0} +``` + +The *i*-th interval indicator in the sequence is used to determine the *i*-th major grid interval dimension: + +- the height of the 1st row shall be determined in accordance with the rule B under the condition that it cannot be smaller than 40 SMU; +- the 2nd to 6th row heights shall be variable and proportional to one another; +- each of those row heights shall be the default height 0, if no content is laid out within this row; +- whenever two of those row heights are positive, they shall be the same. + +Actually, in Figure B.5, the 2nd and 3rd rows have the same height 22 SMU. Since the dimensions of the 4th to 6th major grid intervals are determined to 0, the corresponding rows degenerate, and the table looks as if it had only 3 rows. + +#### B.2.4.4 Determination of imaging factors of horizontal lines + +Since the layout grid includes 7 major grid lines, the value of the parameter “major grid lines” evaluates to the sequence of 7 line characteristic expressions: + +``` +OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) +OPTREP ({2, solid, black}) +SEQ ({1, invisible, black}, OPTREP ({1, solid, black})) +SEQ ({1, invisible, black}, OPTREP ({1, solid, black})) +SEQ ({1, invisible, black}, OPTREP ({1, solid, black})) +SEQ ({1, invisible, black}, OPTREP ({1, solid, black})) +OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) +``` + +These line characteristic expressions in the sequence are sequentially applied to the major grid lines in the layout grid. + +For example, the line characteristic expression SEQ ({1, invisible, black}, OPTREP ({1, solid, black})) applies to the 2nd major layout grid line. Since the minor size of the layout grid is 5, and therefore this layout grid line is divided into 5 line segments, the line characteristic expression evaluates to the sequence of 5 line segment characteristics: + +**{1, invisible, black}, {1, solid, black}, {1, solid, black}, {1, solid, black}, {1, solid, black}** + +NOTE – Because the 3rd and 4th minor grid lines merge into a single line, the 4th line segment on the major grid line degenerates into a point. Nevertheless, this degenerating line segment is counted as well. + +The line segment characteristic {1, invisible, black} applies to the 1st line segment of the 2nd major grid line, and the line segment is imaged invisible. The rest of the line segment of the grid line are all imaged with the narrow solid line, since the common line segment characteristic {1, solid, black} applies to them. + +The degeneration of the 4th to 6th rows causes the merge of 3rd to 6th major grid lines into a single line (the bottom edge of the table). Hence, the two line characteristic expressions SEQ ({1, invisible, black}, OPTREP ({1, solid, black})) and OPTREP ({4, solid, black}) are applicable to this single line. Since the former expression is associated with precedence 0 whilst the latter with precedence 5, this line is imaged with the wide solid line (4 SMU wide). + +#### B.2.4.5 Placement of entry frames within layout grid + +The content of an entry object is laid out within the layout grid rectangle which is the layout counterpart of the logical grid rectangle with which the entry object is associated. + +For example, the entry object 3 0 0 0 is associated with the logical grid rectangle edged with the 0th and 1st major grid lines, and the 1st and 2nd minor grid lines. This association is specified by the parameter “entry-location association” of the attribute “grid description” specified for the grid logical object 3 0: the parameter includes an entry of {locations = {(0, 1)}, entries = {0 0}}. + +Principally, the sub-parameter “locations” specifies the logical coordinates of two diagonally opposite vertices of a logical grid rectangle. However, if the logical grid rectangle is a grid location, the sub-parameter may include only the coordinates of the left-top vertex of the rectangle. Hence, locations = {(0, 1)}, for example, specifies the logical rectangle with a pair of diagonally opposite vertices (0, 1) and (1, 2). + +The sub-parameter “entries” identifies those entry objects to be associated with the logical grid rectangle identified by the sub-parameter “locations”. The value for the sub-parameter “entries” is a set of one or more sequences of non-negative integers. The object identifiers of the entry objects are obtained by appending each specified sequence of non-negative integers to the object identifier of the grid logical object for which the sub-parameter is specified. Hence, entries = {0 0}, for example, specifies the object identifier 3 0 0 0. + +The layout counterpart of the logical grid rectangle associated with the entry object 3 0 0 0 is the layout grid rectangle edged with the 0th and 1st major (horizontal) layout grid lines, and the 1st and 2nd minor (vertical) layout grid lines. The available area for the entry frame 1 0 0 0, within which the content associated with the entry object 3 0 0 0 is to be laid out, shall be calculated within this layout grid rectangle. + +The attribute “grid gutters” specified for the grid frame class 0 0 0 and the sub-parameter “offset” specified for the frame class 0 0 0 0 are taken into account when the layout process calculates this available area. The gutter space widths around the layout grid lines are specified as 10 SMU, and the offsets for the leading, trailing, left-hand and right-hand edges are all 0. Hence, the available area for the entry frame 1 0 0 0 is a rectangle within the layout grid rectangle whose distances from the bordering grid lines of the layout grid rectangle are 5 SMU (see Figure B.6). + +When the layout process positions the entry frame 1 0 0 0 within this available area, it further takes account of the following attributes and parameters: + +- “layout path” specified for the grid frame class 0 0 0; +- “alignment” specified for the (entry) frame class 0 0 0 0. + +Since the layout path of the grid frame 1 0 0 is 270°, and further the fill order applied to the entry frame 1 0 0 0 is ‘reverse’ (specified for the frame class 0 0 0 0), the entry frame is positioned within the available area so that it shall be as close as possible to the 1st major layout grid line, which is the bottom edge of the rectangle (see Figure B.6). + +In horizontally positioning the entry frame 1 0 0 0, the parameter alignment applied to the entry frame is taken into account. Since the specified value is ‘centred’, the entry frame is positioned equidistant from the 1st and 2nd minor grid lines, which are respectively the left and right edges of the rectangle (see Figure B.6). + +![Diagram illustrating the placement of an entry frame within a grid rectangle.

Since the major path is vertically downward, the sub-parameter specifies the horizontal position of the layout grid. In this example, since the specified value to the sub-parameter is ‘centred’, the layout grid is placed horizontally centred. + +On the other hand, the sub-parameter “minor alignment” specifies the position of the layout grid in the direction orthogonal to the minor path, that is, in the vertical direction. Since this sub-parameter specifies the value ‘left-hand aligned’, the grid is positioned as close as possible to the top edge (trailing edge relative to the layout path) of the grid frame 1 0 0 as long as the entry frame does not fall within the border free space of the grid frame (see Figure B.5). + +### B.3 Example 3 + +#### B.3.1 Generic Logical Structure + +This example uses the same

Figure B.7 depicts the image of tabular layout that the layout process generates from the extended specific logical structure. + +In this example, no room is left for any of the appended rows (4th and 5th rows) within the grid frame 1 0 0: only 6 SMU is left within the available area in the vertical direction (see Figure B.5); at least 22 SMU is necessary to lay out either of the 4th and 5th rows (see Figure B.7). + +Since the attribute “generator for subordinates” specified for the document layout root class is REP ( 0 0 ), and since the layout directive “grid frame classes” specified for the table root class 2 0 is REP ( 0 0 0 ), the content of the table may overflow into other grid frames. + +#### B.3.4.1 Repetitive layout of box headings + +At the occurrence of the overflow of the table content, the layout directive “obligatory same layout objects” specified for the row class 2 0 1 shall be taken into account. + +When the layout process commences to lay out the content of the 4th row object 3 0 3, it finds no room left within the grid frame 1 0 0. Then, the layout process generates a new page 1 1 and a new grid frame 1 1 0 within the page. + +Before laying out the content of the 4th row, the layout process evaluates the layout directive “obligatory same layout objects” which is specified for the row class 2 0 1, hence, applicable to the 4th row object 3 0 3. + +The value of the parameter “logical objects” of this attribute is used to identify a particular logical object called the *target object*. By definition, the target object is the nearest preceding logical object of the 4th row object 3 0 3 which belongs to the logical object class specified by this parameter. Since the value of this parameter is 2 0 0, the target object is the logical object 3 0 0. + +Then, the layout directive “obligatory same layout objects” specifies that any fragment of the content associated with the 4th row object shall be laid out with the entire content associated with the target object 3 0 0 within a single instance of the layout object class specified by the other parameter “layout objects”. Hence, if the content associated with the 4th row object is laid out within the grid frame 1 1 0, the layout directive requires that the content associated with the target object is also laid out within the same grid frame. + +The content of the target object 3 0 0 has been already laid out within the grid frame 1 0 0. Since the same instance of the layout directive “obligatory same layout objects” is applied to the 2nd and 3rd row objects (all row objects are instances of the common layout object class 2 0 1, and the layout directive is specified for the class description), canceling the layout of the target object within the grid frame 1 0 0 and re-laying them out within the grid frame 1 1 0 causes the violation of the constraint imposed by this layout directive. + +To avoid this contradiction, the definition of the layout directive “obligatory same layout objects” allows the layout process to duplicate the content of the target object and to lay out the generated reproduction within different layout objects. In this example, the layout process produces a complete reproduction of the content portions whose values for the attribute “content identifier – logical” are 3 0 0 0 0 and 3 0 0 1 0. The generated reproduction of the two content + +portions is respectively the content portions whose values for the attribute “content identifier – layout” are 1 1 0 0 0 0 and 1 1 0 1 0 0. This reproduction is characterized by its lack of “content identifier – logical”. + +![Diagram showing grid frames and table content overflow.

More formally, if an entry frame is bound to a layout grid rectangle which is composed of two or more layout grid locations, the layout grid rectangle is called a *spanning grid rectangle*. + +When a line segment of a layout grid line is included in the interior of some spanning rectangle, the line segment shall not be imaged. + +For example, since the entry object 3 0 0 occupies a logical grid rectangle whose vertices are (0, 0), (0, 4), (1, 4) and (1,0), the entry frame for the content '% of Vote' is bound to a layout grid rectangle spanning all the columns. The first line segments of the 1st to 3rd minor (vertical) layout grid lines, each of which is between the 0th and 1st major (horizontal) layout grid lines, are included in the interior of this spanning grid rectangle. Therefore, although the parameter "minor grid lines" specifies that these line segments are to be imaged by using the line segment characteristic {1, solid, black}, they are not actually imaged. + +### B.5.5.2 Repetitive layout of box headings + +In Figure B.11, the content of the table overflows into a second grid frame within a second page. The upper table of Figure B.11 is the part laid out within the first grid frame, whilst the lower is the part laid out within the second grid frame. The content of the logical object 3 0 1, namely '1952', '1957' and '1962', is duplicatedly laid out within the second grid frame, since the layout directive attribute "obligatory same layout objects" are applied to the logical object class 2 0 2. + +### B.5.5.3 Indentation within stub + +The rightmost column of the table is called a *stub*. In the stub, indentations are used to represent the classification of the row headings. + +The content associated with the basic logical objects belonging to the logical object class 2 0 2 0 is laid out within instances of the frame class 0 0 0 1, since the same layout category 'subtitle' is specified for both the object classes. Hence, the content of the entry object 3 0 2 0 ('Parliament') and that of the entry object 3 0 3 0 ('Legislative Assembly') are laid out within lowest-level frames which are instances of the frame class 0 0 0 1. + +Since the sub-parameter "alignment" of the attribute "position" specified for the frame class 0 0 0 1 specifies the value 'right-hand aligned', each of those lowest-level frames is positioned within the available area so that its right-hand edge (relative to the layout path of the immediately superior grid frame) shall have the same horizontal position as the corresponding edge of the available area does. The available area is to be determined taking account of the gutter space width around layout grid lines and the offsets of this frame. Since the specified gutter space width around the 0th minor layout grid line is 160 SMU and the right-hand offset specified for the frame class 0 0 0 1 is 0 SMU, the distance between the right-hand edge of the available area for this lowest-level frame and the 0th minor layout grid line is 80 SMU (see Figure B.12). + +On the other hand, the content associated with the basic logical objects belonging to the object class 2 0 2 1 0 is laid out within instances of the frame class 0 0 0 2, since the same layout category 'index' is applied to both the object classes. Hence, the content of those basic logical objects ('Belgaum', 'Calcutta', 'Gunter', 'Kaira' and 'Madurai') is laid out within lowest-level frames which are instances of the frame class 0 0 0 2. + +Those lowest-level frames are also right-hand aligned within their available areas. However, since the right-hand offset is specified as 240 for the frame class 0 0 0 2, the distance between the right-hand edges of the available areas for the lowest-level frames and the 0th minor layout grid line is 240 SMU (see Figure B.12). + +## B.6 Example 6 + +### B.6.1 Generic Logical Structure + +This example uses the same generic logical structure as that defined in B.5.1. + +### B.6.2 Specific Logical Structure + +This example uses the same specific logical structure as that defined in B.5.2. + +### B.6.3 Generic Layout Structure + +| | | +|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------| +| Object Type | document layout root | +| Object Identifier | 0 | +| Generator for Subordinates | REP ( 0 0 ) | + +![Diagram illustrating indentation layout.

| + +### B.6.5 Explanation + +Figure B.13 depicts the image of tabular layout that the layout process generates by applying the different generic layout structure (see B.6.3) and the different layout styles (see B.6.4) to the same logical structures (see B.5.1 and B.5.2). + +#### B.6.5.1 Repetitive layout of box headings and cut-in headings + +Within the second grid frame into which the content of the table overflows, not only box headings ('1952', '1957' and '1962') but also the cut-in heading ('Legislative Assembly') are repeatedly laid out. + +This repetitive layout of the headings is specified by the layout directive "obligatory same layout objects" which is specified for the layout style 4 6, and referred to from the logical object class 2 0 2 1. + +When the layout process commences to lay out the content associated with the logical object 3 0 3 2, which is the first content to overflow into the second grid frame, the layout process evaluates this instance of the layout directive "obligatory same layout objects". From the value of the parameter "logical objects", two target objects are identified: the + +basic logical object 3 0 3 0 and the composite logical object 3 0 1. The former object is associated with the cut-in heading ‘Legislative Assembly’, while the latter with the box headings ‘1952’, ‘1957’ and ‘1962’. Hence, when the layout process lays out the content of the logical object 3 0 3 2, it generates 4 content portions forming part of a reproduction bundle of the content associated with those target objects. These content portions are laid out within the 2nd grid frame, which is of the layout class that the parameter “layout objects” specifies. + +| % of Vote | | | | +|---------------------------------------------------|----------------------|------|------| +| | 1952 | 1957 | 1962 | +| Belgaum

When the layout directive is applied to the logical object 3 0 3 0, whose associated content is ‘Legislative Assembly’, the target object 3 0 3 1 is identified by the parameter “logical objects” of the layout directive. This target object is the nearest following logical object in the sequential logical order as long as it belongs to the logical object class specified by the parameter “logical objects”. + +The layout directive “selective same layout objects” specifies that the end of the content associated with the logical object to which the directive is applied shall be laid out together with, at least, some fragments of the content of the target object within a single layout object whose class is specified by the parameter “layout objects” of the directive. Since the first occurrence of the cut-in heading ‘Legislative Assembly’ in Figure B.14 does not satisfy this constraint, it is consequently restrained from occurring. + +## B.7 Example 7 + +### B.7.1

A diagram showing a rectangular box containing text aligned to a vertical dashed reference line. The text inside the box is: 1,164, 1,872, 3,036, 9,391, 19,376, and 28,767. Below the box, a horizontal double-headed arrow indicates a distance of 240 units from the reference line to the right edge of the box. The reference line is labeled 'Reference Line' and 'ISO5380-95/d35'. + +**Figure B.15 – Reference Line +Alignment** + +The generic structures (see B.7.1 and B.7.4) and styles (see B.7.2 and B.7.3) specify that the content associated with a basic logical object belonging to the basic logical object class 2 0 0 0 or 2 0 0 1 shall be laid out within an entry frame which is aligned with other entry frames along a reference line. + +The same value of the layout directive attribute “block alignment point” is applied to the basic logical object classes 2 0 0 0 and 2 0 0 1. Since this value specifies the parameter “content dependent” with the value ‘applies’, the alignment points associated with those blocks within which the content of instances of the basic logical object classes is laid out are to be determined in accordance with the presentation style 5 0. + +The presentation style 5 0 includes the attribute “alignment point”, and the attribute specifies that the alignment point of a block to which this attribute applies shall locate on the first occurrence of the decimal point. + +The rest of this sub-clause is dedicated to explaining how the document and content layout process lay out the content of a basic logical object which is an instance of either the basic logical object class 2 0 0 0 or 2 0 0 1. + +When the content layout process formats the character content associate with the basic logical object concerned, the process finds the first occurrence of the decimal point, and exports the position of this occurrence within the block which the content layout process is generating. Conversely, the document layout process imports this position of the alignment point associated with the generated block. + +The block is placed within a lowest-level frame which is an instance of either the frame class 0 0 0 0 or 0 0 0 1. For these two frame classes, the attribute “frame alignment point” is specified so that the alignment point of their instance shall be located at the same position as that of the first block included in the instance. + +If the basic logical object concerned is an instance of the basic logical object class 2 0 0 0, then the document layout process positions the entry frame so that its alignment point, hence the first occurrence of the decimal point, shall be on a reference line. + +If the basic logical object is an instance of the basic logical object class 2 0 0 1, then the document layout process takes account of the attribute “indent – major” specified for the frame class 0 0 0 1. This attribute specifies the distance of the alignment point of the entry frame from the reference line. The distance is measured in the direction which intersects the major path of the immediately superior grid frame at right angles in an anticlockwise direction. Hence, since the specified value of the attribute “indent – major” is 240 SMU and the major path is downward, the entry frame is positioned so that its alignment point shall locate to the right of the reference line, and the distance of the alignment point from the reference line shall be 240 SMU. \ No newline at end of file diff --git

The non-linear structures are required to enable an ODA document to be traversed in a non-linear fashion. It also supports the use of a temporal dimension in ODA documents as well as future non-spatially oriented content architectures . + +# Introduction + +This Recommendation | International Standard was prepared as a joint publication by ITU Study Group 8 and ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1. + +At present, the ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613 consists of: + +- Introduction and general principles; +- Document structures; +- Abstract interface for the manipulation of ODA documents; +- Document profile; +- Open document interchange format; +- Character content architectures; +- Raster graphics content architectures; +- Geometric graphics content architectures; +- Audio content architectures; +- Formal Specification of the Open Document Architecture (FODA); +(The formal specification is applicable to ISO/IEC 8613 only.) +- Tabular structures and tabular layout; +- Identification of document fragments. + +Further Recommendations | International Standards may be added to this series of Recommendations | International Standards. + +Development of this series of Recommendations | International Standards was originally in parallel with the ECMA-101 standard: Open Document Architecture. + +This Recommendation | International Standard contains seven annexes: + +- Annex A (integral): Structuring conventions for "application comments"; +- Annex B (integral): Usage of the attribute/parameter "application comments" in links; +- Annex C (integral): Modifications to other parts of ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613; +- Annex D (non-integral): Examples for specifying temporal relationships; +- Annex E (non-integral): Compatibility with earlier editions of ITU-T Rec.

T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613 is to facilitate the interchange of documents. + +In the context of these Recommendations | International Standards, documents are to be items such as memoranda, letters, invoices, forms and reports, which may include pictures and tabular material. The content elements used within the documents may include graphic characters, raster graphics elements and geometric graphics elements, all potentially within one document. + +NOTE – These Recommendations | International Standards are designed to allow for extensions, including hypermedia features, spreadsheets and additional types of content such as audio and video. + +In addition to the content types defined in these Recommendations | International Standards, ODA also provides for arbitrary content types to be included in documents. + +These Recommendations | International Standards apply to the interchange of documents by means of data communication or the exchange of storage media. + +These Recommendations | International Standards provide for the interchange of documents for either or both of the following purposes: + +- to allow presentation as intended by the originator; +- to allow processing such as editing and reformatting. + +The composition of a document in interchange can take several forms: + +- formatted form, allowing presentation of the document; +- processable form, allowing processing of the document; +- formatted processable form, allowing both presentation and processing. + +These Recommendations | International Standards also provide for the interchange of ODA information structures used for the processing of interchanged documents. + +This Recommendation | International Standard: + +- extends the concepts of ODA beyond sheets of paper; +- describes how to specify temporal relationships for the presentation of information in ODA documents such as sequential, parallel or cyclic presentation of particular pieces of information; +- specifies a reference model for the layout process and presentation process in respect to temporal relationships; +- introduces the concepts of hypermedia documents where non-linear links between presentable content are provided; +- describes how to specify non-linear structures in an ODA document such as links between particular pieces of information as commonly found in so-called hypermedia documents; +- introduces the concept of document sets; +- defines a document set profile for document sets; +- defines a reference model for the layout process and presentation process of hypermedia documents and document sets. + +# 2 Normative references + +The following Recommendations and International Standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation | International Standard.

In this context, the constituent *document set profile* is introduced. + +# 7 Temporal relationships + +## 7.1 Conceptual principles for temporal relationships + +Each layout object (document layout root, page set, page, frame and block) has a position and dimension in time, i.e. a point in time – in addition to the spatial position and dimension that some layout objects (pages, frames, blocks) already have – at which the presentation of the content associated with the layout object starts, and a duration, specifying how long the presentation continues. + +NOTE 1 – Throughout this document terms such as "content associated with an object" or "content of an object" do not imply that the content is directly associated to the object. (Only basic objects can have directly associated content portions.) If these terms apply to a composite object, the content of content portions associated with all basic objects subordinate to the composite object is meant. + +In order to explain the synchronization of presentations, the concept of an *event* is introduced. An event is called an *internal event* if it is issued when the presentation of a particular piece of content is terminated because of time constraints specified in the document for that piece of content. The rules for the occurrence of events are defined in clause 7.1.1. An event is called an *external event* if it is created by some mechanism external to the document, e.g. the presentation of a particular piece of content may be terminated by user interaction. + +In general, an event is used to invoke the presentation of temporally succeeding content of the document. The temporal presentation of a document is usually controlled both by internal events and external events. For instance, the moving from one page to the next may be controlled by the external events of user interaction whereas the temporal presentation of the content on a particular page may be controlled by internal events. + +Layout objects may overlap in time, i.e. the presentation of the content associated with layout object X may start at the same time as the presentation of the content associated with layout object Y or at a point in time where the presentation of the content associated with layout object Y still continues. + +If it is required that on a particular area of a page different layout objects are presented at different points in time, this can be achieved by means of overlapping frames (see example 9 in Annex D). + +The duration for the presentation of the content associated with a layout object may be 0 time units, if the presentation of the content requires no time *per se* (e.g. the presentation of a portion of character text). In this case, an event may be issued immediately when the presentation of the content occurs. + +NOTE 2 – In practice, the rendition of content (e.g. the rendition of a character text portion on a computer screen) will always take some time depending on the processing speed of the hardware. However, from the conceptual point of view of the temporal relationships model, this time is assumed to be negligible. + +The temporal characteristics of the layout objects are defined by the attribute "presentation time" which applies to each layout object (directly or indirectly by means of the defaulting mechanism). In general, the values of these attributes can be determined during the layout process. + +With respect to the derivation of the values for the attribute "presentation time", the layout process takes account of the values of the attribute "temporal relations" which defines the temporal requirements of logical objects, and/or of the values of the attribute "presentation time" in the generic layout structure. + +### 7.1.1 Synchronization of presentations + +#### 7.1.1.1 Parallel presentations + +Two or more presentations are regarded as being carried out in parallel if those presentations are initiated at the same time, i.e. the presentations are carried out concurrently. + +Parallel presentations are sub-divided into the following three types: + +- *Parallel-last*: In this case, an event is issued when all the presentations in the set of presentations have terminated. +- *Parallel-first*: In this case, an event is issued when any presentation in the set of presentations has terminated. +- *Parallel-selective*: In this case, an event is issued when a specific presentation in the set of presentations has terminated. + +#### 7.1.1.2 Sequential presentations + +Two or more presentations are regarded as being sequential if the presentations occur one after the other so that one presentation cannot begin until another presentation has terminated. Thus the ending of a presentation is a pre-condition for starting another presentation. + +#### 7.1.1.3 Cyclic presentations + +A cyclic presentation is a presentation which is repeated more than once. The number of repetitions can be limited to a specified number or can be specified as being indefinite. In the case of a number, an event is issued when the presentation has been carried out the specified number of times. + +In the case of indefinite, it is assumed that an external event will terminate the cyclic presentation, or it is terminated because of time constraints which apply to superior objects. At the start of each cycle the presentation state is reset to the state which was in effect before the first cycle started in respect to the piece of content involved in the cycle (e.g. a computer screen will be cleared totally or in parts). + +NOTE – The effect of specifying that a presentation is cyclic means that the subordinate presentations, if any, which are processed in parallel or in sequence, are repeated as specified. + +### 7.1.2 Temporal characteristics + +Two types of temporal constraints can be specified for presentations, namely: + +- start time delays; and +- duration constraints. + +A *start time delay* is a time delay which enables the actual start time of a presentation to be distinguished from the time at which the presentation is invoked. If no start time delay is specified, then the start time of the presentation and the invocation time are coincident. + +The *duration constraint* specifies the time for which a presentation is to continue. If no duration is explicitly specified, then no constraints are applicable to the time for which the presentation is to continue. In this case, it depends on the nature of the content when an event will be issued. That is, an event will be issued as soon as the presentation of the content is finished. (For instance, for character content this will be immediately, for audio content this will be at that point in time when the audio content has been presented.) + +The above time constraints for a start time and a duration can also be specified for each cycle and a constraint can be specified for the maximum time for each cycle. + +## 7.2 Attribute definitions for temporal relationships + +Temporal relationships in a document are specified by the attributes "temporal relations" and "presentation time". + +### 7.2.1 Temporal relations + +The attribute "temporal relations" is classified as a logical attribute. + +#### Constituents + +Logical document root component descriptions and composite logical object component descriptions. + +##### **Classification** + +- non-mandatory for object class descriptions; +- defaultable for object descriptions. + +##### **Structure** + +The value of the attribute is either 'null' or it consists of the two parameters "synchronization type" and "subordinate nodes". + +The parameter "subordinate nodes" is structured into a sequence of entries where each entry consists of the sub-parameters "node identifier" and, optionally, "cyclic", "duration", "start time", "end time" and "application comments". + +The sub-parameter "cyclic" is structured into the sub-sub-parameters "number of cycles" and, optionally, "cycle duration" and "cycle start time". + +##### **Permissible values** + +For the parameter "synchronization type": either 'parallel first', 'parallel last', 'parallel selective' or 'sequential'. + +For the sub-parameter "node identifier": + +If the attribute is specified for an object class: A sequence of non-negative integers representing an object class identifier which appears in the value of the attribute "generator for subordinates" specified for the object class. + +If the attribute is specified for an object: A sequence of non-negative integers representing an object identifier which is immediately subordinate to the object for which the attribute is specified. + +For the sub-sub-parameter "number of cycles": Either 'indefinite' or a positive integer. + +For the sub-parameters "start time" and "end time" and the sub-sub-parameter "cycle start time": A non-negative integer. + +For the sub-parameter "duration" and sub-sub-parameter "cycle duration": Either 'indefinite' or a non-negative integer. + +For the sub-parameter "application comments": An octet string with a sub-structure as defined in Annex A. + +##### **Default value** + +- 'null'. + +##### **Definition** + +This attribute specifies temporal relations for the presentation of content that is associated with objects immediately subordinate to the object for which the attribute is specified. + +A value of 'null' indicates that no temporal relations are specified for the presentation of the content of the immediately subordinate objects. + +If the attribute is inherited from a class and its value is not 'null', the values of the sub-parameters "node identifier" (which are object class identifiers) are replaced by object identifiers of those objects which are immediately subordinate to the object which inherits the attribute, and which refer to the respective class. The value of the attribute "generator for subordinates" of the class shall be chosen such that it ensures a unique correspondence between such objects and the object classes referred to by the sub-parameters "node identifier". + +The parameter "synchronization type" whose value is either 'parallel first', 'parallel last', 'parallel selective' or 'sequential', specifies the type of synchronization mechanism that is to be applied to the content of the objects identified by the sub-parameters "node identifier" of the parameter "subordinate nodes". That is, this parameter specifies whether the content associated with the subordinate objects is to be presented in parallel or in sequence. In the case of parallel, this parameter indicates whether the synchronization is to be 'parallel-last', 'parallel-first' or 'parallel-selective' as defined in 7.1.1.1. + +The parameter "subordinate nodes" specifies the list of subordinate objects whose content is involved in the synchronization process and, optionally, additional presentation constraints which apply to an individual object. + +NOTE – The sub-parameter "node identifier" refers to objects or object classes within the same document. If temporal relationships shall be specified for object or object classes which reside in a document fragment separate from the current document, dummy objects or dummy object classes are inserted into the document which act as placeholders for the resolution process as defined by the inclusion rules for distributed documents. + +The order of specification of the node identifiers is significant when the synchronization type is 'sequential' or 'parallel selective'. In the case of 'sequential', the content associated with the objects is intended to be presented in the order indicated. In the case of 'parallel selective', the first object specified is the nominated selective node. + +The (optional) sub-parameter "start time" specifies the time delay between the invocation of the presentation of the content of the subordinate object and the actual start time at which the content is presented. If the sub-parameter is not specified, invocation time and start time are coincident. + +The (optional) sub-parameter "end time" specifies the time delay between the actual time at which the presentation of the content of the subordinate object finishes and the time at which an event is issued. + +The (optional) sub-parameter "duration" defines a constraint on the time for which the presentation of the content of an object occurs. If the sub-parameter is not specified, an event is issued with the delay of "end time", if specified, after the presentation of the content, taking account of a possibly specified start time. If the value 'indefinite' is specified, the presentation of the content of the object may continue indefinitely, i.e. until the process is terminated by an external event, by the time constraints specified by the sub-parameter "cyclic" for this object, or by time constraints applying to superior objects. + +The (optional) sub-parameter "cyclic" specifies whether or not the content of the object is to be presented more than once. If the sub-parameter is not specified, presentation takes place once. This sub-parameter shall only be specified for objects whose content requires a positive amount of time for presentation, either because of the nature of the content such as audio content or because the sub-sub-parameters "cycle duration" and/or "cycle start time" are specified with a positive value. + +The sub-sub-parameter "number of cycles" of the sub-parameter "cyclic" specifies the number of times that the content of the object is to be presented. The value of 'indefinite' indicates that cycles may be repeated indefinitely, i.e. until terminated by an external event, by the time constraints specified by the sub-parameter "duration" for this object, or by time constraints applying to superior objects. + +The (optional) sub-sub-parameter "cycle start time" of the sub-parameter "cyclic" specifies the time delay between the invocation of each cycle and the actual start time of each cycle. If the sub-sub-parameter is not specified, a value of 0 (zero) is assumed. + +The (optional) sub-sub-parameter "cycle duration" of the sub-parameter "cyclic" defines a constraint on the time for which the cycles may continue to be processed. If the sub-sub-parameter is not specified, a value of 0 (zero) is assumed. If the value 'indefinite' is specified, the cyclic presentation of the content of the object may continue indefinitely, i.e. until the process is terminated by an external event or by other temporal constraints applying to the object. + +If the sub-parameter "duration" and the sub-parameter "cyclic" are specified, the sub-parameter "duration" takes precedence over "cyclic", i.e. the cyclic processing of the content associated with the object will be terminated after the number of time units given by the sub-parameter "duration", even if the processing specifications given by the sub-parameter "cyclic" are not yet satisfied. + +The sub-parameter "application comments" may be used to specify the semantics of the value 'indefinite' for the sub-parameter "duration". This sub-parameter has no significance for the reference models of the layout or imaging/presentation processes defined in ITU-T Rec T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2, nor for any content layout or imaging/presentation processes defined in this Recommendation | International Standard or other common texts of ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613. + +All time specifications are given in scaled time units. + +For the determination of the value of the attribute, steps a), c), e) and j) as in 9.1.2.4 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 are applicable. + +### 7.2.2 Presentation time + +The attribute "presentation time" is classified as a layout attribute. + +#### Constituents + +Layout component descriptions. + +#### Classification + +- non-mandatory for object class descriptions; +- defaultable for object descriptions. + +#### Structure + +The value of the attribute is either 'null' or it is structured into the optional parameters "timing", "duration", "cyclic" and "application comments". At least one parameter must be specified unless the value is 'null'. + +The parameter "timing" consists either of the sub-parameter "fixed timing" or the sub-parameter "variable timing". + +The parameter "duration" consists of one of the sub-parameters "fixed duration", "rule A" or "rule B". + +The parameter "cyclic" is structured into the sub-parameters "number of cycles" and, optionally, "cycle duration" and "cycle start time". + +The sub-parameter "variable timing" consists of one or more of the optional sub-sub-parameters "start offset", "end offset", "start separation" or "end separation". + +The sub-parameters "rule A" and "rule B" may specify the (optional) sub-sub-parameters "minimum duration" and/or "maximum duration". + +#### Permissible values + +For the parameter "application comments": An octet string with a sub-structure as defined in Annex A. + +For the sub-parameter "fixed timing": A non-negative integer. + +For the sub-parameter "fixed duration": Either 'indefinite', a non-negative integer or a sequence of non-negative integers representing an identifier of a layout object. The identifier of a layout object shall not be specified if the attribute is specified for an object class. + +For the sub-parameter "number of cycles": Either 'indefinite' or a positive integer. + +For the sub-parameter "cycle start time": A non-negative integer. + +For the sub-parameter "cycle duration": Either 'indefinite' or a non-negative integer. + +For the sub-sub-parameters "start offset", "end offset", "start separation", "end separation", "minimum duration" and "maximum duration": A non-negative integer. + +##### Default value + +- 'null'. + +##### Definition + +This attribute specifies the position and dimension in time for the presentation of the content of the layout object for which the attribute is specified. + +If the value of the attribute is 'null', no constraints are specified for the temporal presentation of the content of the layout object. + +Two cases for "timing" are to be considered: That of specifying the sub-parameter "fixed timing" and that of specifying the sub-parameter "variable timing". + +In the case of fixed timing, the value of the sub-parameter "fixed timing" specifies the time delay between the start of the presentation of its immediately superior object and the start of the presentation of the object itself. + +The sub-parameter "variable timing" may only be specified for frame class descriptions that are referred to in construction expressions only from other frame class descriptions. All other layout components, in particular, all specific layout objects, may only specify the sub-parameter "fixed timing". + +In the case of variable timing, one or more of the sub-sub-parameters "start offset", "end offset", "start separation" or "end separation" may be specified whose semantics are as follows (the specifications given by these sub-sub-parameters are rules for the temporal layout process to determine the values of the attributes "presentation time" for layout objects created during the layout process): + +- the sub-sub-parameter "start offset" specifies the minimum delay between the start of the presentation of a frame belonging to this frame class and the start of the presentation of its immediately superior frame; +- the sub-sub-parameter "end offset" specifies the minimum delay between the end of the presentation of a frame belonging to this frame class and the end of the presentation of its immediately superior frame; +- the sub-sub-parameter "start separation" specifies the minimum delay between the start of the presentation of a frame belonging to this frame class and the end of the presentation of that frame which is immediately preceding in sequential layout order; +- the sub-sub-parameter "end separation" specifies the minimum delay between the end of the presentation of a frame belonging to this frame class and the start of the presentation of that frame which is immediately succeeding in sequential layout order. + +Two cases for "duration" are to be considered: That of specifying the sub-parameter "fixed duration" and that of specifying the sub-parameters "rule A" or "rule B". + +The sub-parameter "fixed duration" defines a constraint on the time for which the content of an object may continue to be presented. If the sub-parameter is not specified, an event is issued immediately after the presentation of the content, taking account of the value of the parameter "timing", if specified. If the value 'indefinite' is specified by, the presentation of the content may continue indefinitely, i.e. until the process is terminated by an external event or by time constraints applying to superior objects. If a non-negative integer is specified, it defines the number of scaled time units for the presentation of the content of the object. If a layout identifier is specified, it indicates that the presentation of the content of the object shall terminate at the same time as the presentation of the content of the referenced object terminates. A layout identifier shall not be specified at the document layout root level. + +NOTE – The sub-parameter "fixed-duration" (when referencing a layout object) may refer only to objects in the same document. If a reference shall be made to an object which resides in a document fragment separate from the current document, a dummy object is inserted into the document which acts as a placeholder for the resolution process as defined by the inclusion rules for distributed documents. + +The sub-parameters "rule A" or "rule B" may only be specified for frame class descriptions that are referred to in construction expressions only from other frame class descriptions. All other layout components, in particular, all specific layout objects, may only specify the sub-parameter "fixed duration". + +The specifications given by these sub-parameters "rule A" or "rule B" are rules for the temporal layout process to determine the values of the attributes "presentation time" for layout objects created during the layout process. Their semantics is as follows: + +- The sub-parameter "rule A" specifies that the duration of the presentation of a frame belonging to this frame class shall be the minimum duration necessary for the presentation of that immediately subordinate frame or block which contains content that is earliest in sequential logical order. +- The sub-parameter "rule B" specifies that the duration of the presentation of a frame belonging to this frame class shall be the minimum duration necessary for the presentation of all immediate subordinate frames or blocks. +- The sub-sub-parameters "minimum duration" and "maximum duration" may specify additional constraints for the durations determined by the respective rule. If the value determined by the rule would otherwise be smaller than the value specified by "minimum duration", then the value of "minimum duration" takes precedence. If the value determined by the rule would otherwise be larger than the value specified by "maximum duration", then the value of "maximum duration" takes precedence. + +The (optional) parameter "cyclic" specifies whether or not the content of the object is to be presented more than once. If the parameter is not specified, processing takes place once. This parameter shall be specified only for objects whose content requires a positive amount of time for presentation, either because of the nature of the content such as audio content or because the sub-parameters "cycle duration" and/or "cycle start time" are specified with a positive value. + +The sub-parameter "number of cycles" of the parameter "cyclic" specifies the number of times that the content of the object is to be presented. The value 'indefinite' indicates that cycles may be repeated indefinitely, i.e. until terminated by an external event, by the time constraints specified by the parameter "duration" for this object, or by time constraints applying to superior objects. + +The (optional) sub-parameter "cycle start time" of the parameter "cyclic" specifies the time delay between the invocation of each cycle and the actual start time for each cycle. If the sub-parameter is not specified, a value of 0 (zero) is assumed. + +The (optional) sub-parameter "cycle duration" of the parameter "cyclic" defines a constraint on the time for which the cycles may continue to be processed. If the sub-parameter is not specified, a value of 0 (zero) is assumed.

The effect of external events is considered implementation-dependent. + +For the determination of the value of the attribute, steps a), c), e) and j) as in 9.1.2.4 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 are applicable. + +## 7.3 Reference model for the layout process with respect to temporal relationships + +The reference model of the layout process as described in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 is extended as follows. The extended layout process: + +- consists of the generation of a specific layout structure and the layout of the content of basic logical objects; during this process, the basic logical objects are considered in accordance with their sequential order (as it is); +- controls the allocation of the time spans and the (spatial) areas at the same time as described in this subclause. + +The specifications of temporal relations become effective during the presentation (imaging) process. It is the task of the layout process, to transfer the temporal relationship specifications encountered in the logical structure by means of the attribute "temporal relations" or specifications in the generic layout structure to the layout objects created by the layout process. + +In particular, if temporal relations are specified for the content associated with logical objects, the layout objects with which the content will be associated, have to reflect these relations, i.e. the layout process has to add one or more of the attributes "presentation time" with appropriate values for the parameters and sub-parameters to suitable objects in the layout structure. + +NOTE 1 – The layout process need not add the attribute "presentation time" explicitly to a specific layout object. Nevertheless, specifications for the temporal presentation of such a layout object may apply if the layout object class to which the layout object belongs contains such specifications. For instance, no temporal relations may be specified within the logical structure of a document, but the generic layout structure may specify, by means of the attribute "presentation time", that each page is to be presented for a specified amount of time after which the next page will be presented automatically. + +The document layout process and the content layout process interact as follows: The document layout process informs the content layout process about the available time span (in addition to the available area) which the content layout process may consume. (The available time span may be infinite.) The content layout process informs the document layout process about the required time span it needs for laying out the content. (The required time span may be 0 time units.) If the available time span is smaller than the required time span, the content layout process fails. In this case, the document layout process may try to find a larger available time span, e.g. by starting a new page, and initiate the content layout process again. + +NOTE 2 – The spatial layout process and the temporal layout process are separate processes. In particular, the specifications of the attributes "temporal relations" and "presentation time" have no direct implications for the spatial content layout process. However, the spatial layout process and the temporal layout process may interact, e.g. specifications for the temporal layout process may influence the spatial layout process (see example 8 in Annex D). + +NOTE 3 – The distinction between the document layout process and the content layout process conforms to the reference model for the layout process described in ITU-T Recommendation T.412 (1993) | ISO/IEC 8613-2:1995. In an actual implementation there may not exist such a distinction. + +If concatenation of content occurs, i.e. the content associated with a basic logical object is concatenated with the content of one or more other basic logical objects, only the specification of the attribute "temporal relations" for the first basic logical object, if present, is taken into account; specifications for the other basic logical objects, if present, are ignored. + +If the content of one basic logical object is split into several layout objects, the effect of how the temporal specifications are applied to the individual layout objects is considered application dependent. Individual content architectures may specify additional rules for this case. + +NOTE 4 – Unresolvable constraints for the temporal presentation of a document are possible. For instance, the constraint that the content of two logical objects A and B shall be presented in parallel may not be resolvable if the content of A and B does not fit on one page. This specification assumes that all constraints can be satisfied; the specification does not define how to handle unresolvable constraints. + +## 7.4 Reference model for the presentation process with respect to temporal relationships + +The specifications of the attribute "presentation time" encountered in the layout structure are ignored if the concept of time is not supported (e.g. by a printer). If in such a case the content of a particular area on the presentation medium changes with time (e.g. the content portions to be imaged within one particular block are different at time $t_1$ and $t_2$ ), the result is considered implementation-dependent. It is recommended that this feature (see example 8 in Annex D on time-varying content in overlapping frames) shall be used only in conjunction with alternative representations. + +The following specifications apply only if the concept of time is supported, e.g. by a computer screen connected to a computer system with a built-in clock. + +### 7.4.1 Reference model for the temporal order of layout objects + +Each layout object has a unique position in time on an abstract (discrete and finite) time axis which corresponds to the position in the sequential layout order of the specific layout structure. Since this position in time is specified implicitly by the sequential layout order, it is called the *implicit time coordinate* of the layout object. + +![A diagram showing a horizontal time axis with tick marks.

A dashed line indicates a break between 6 and n/last. + +During the presentation process each point on the implicit time axis is mapped to a point on the (discrete and finite) *presentation time axis*, i.e. each layout object receives a *presentation time coordinate* for its invocation. In addition, each layout object receives a presentation time coordinate for its termination which is always greater than the presentation time coordinate for its invocation. That is, each implicit time coordinate is mapped to two presentation time coordinates representing a presentation time interval in which the presentation of the object associated with the implicit time coordinate takes place. This is done according to the following rules: + +- Each presentation time coordinate represents a point in time where a presentation starts or an event occurs. +- All presentation time coordinates are determined by values of the attribute "presentation time" specified (or defaulted) for the layout objects. +- If object X is superior to object Y, the presentation time coordinate for object X must be less than or equal to the one for object Y, i.e. a subordinate object may not be presented earlier than its superior object. + +NOTE – The following example shows a mapping from implicit time coordinates to presentation time coordinates. + +![Diagram showing the mapping from implicit time coordinates to presentation time coordinates.

In general, this mapping is only defined partially by the document. For instance, it may be undefined when the presentation of a particular page in a document starts, because moving from one page to the next may require user interaction. However, the presentation of the objects on a page in real time may be defined completely, by means of the attribute "presentation time", as soon as the presentation of the page itself is initiated. + +The presentation time coordinates are mapped uniquely to real time coordinates in ascending order, i.e. each presentation time coordinate $i$ is mapped to exactly one real time coordinate $t_i$ and $t_i < t_j$ for $i < j$ . + +### 7.4.2 Reference model for the processing of the presentation time specifications + +Temporal relations become effective during the presentation of a document. In particular, all specifications for the presentation of the content of a document in temporal order are given by the attribute "presentation time" specified for the document layout root, page set, page, frame and block components in the layout structure of a document. + +If no presentation order is specified explicitly in the layout structure or in a substructure thereof (i.e. the default value as defined in 7.2.2 applies to each layout object), the document is presented in the following temporal order: + +- The presentation of the document is started by an external event, e.g. by a user request to present the document. +- The pages of the document are presented in that order in which they appear in the sequential layout order. +- Only one page is presented at any point in time. +- The temporal presentation of all content of the objects on a particular page occurs in parallel. + +- Content which does not change with time is presented as long as the page itself is presented (e.g. the content of a block with character text will be visible as long as the page itself). +- After the termination of the presentation of content which changes with time, the presentation of this content will continue in that state that was reached at its end as long as the page is presented (e.g. for audio content nothing will be perceivable, for video content the final picture of the video – which may be blank – will be visible). +- The presentation of a page is terminated by an external event (e.g. by user interaction), i.e. the duration is indefinite. + +NOTE 1 – A particular implementation may provide additional features for the presentation of a document such as starting the presentation of a document at an arbitrary page number or skipping backwards through the pages of a document. However, the effect of such additional features for the reference model described in this subclause is considered implementation-dependent, e.g. each time a layout object is presented the presentation time coordinate could be started at that point. + +If explicit specifications for the presentation order are present, the following rules apply: + +- The presentation of a document may start automatically or on the occurrence of an external event (e.g. user interaction) depending on the value of the attribute "document presentation time" in the document profile (see C.3.1). If the attribute is specified, the presentation of the document will start automatically when the specified date and time is reached. Otherwise, the presentation of the document will not start automatically. +- Whenever the presentation of the content of a layout object is invoked, the presentation process determines that point in time at which the event belonging to the presentation will be issued, according to the rules specified in 7.2.2. +- Furthermore, whenever the presentation of the content of a composite layout object (i.e. the document layout root, a page set, a page or a frame) is invoked, the presentation time coordinates of its immediately subordinate objects are determined. The presentation coordinate for starting the presentation of the content of an object is either defined by the sequential layout order or by the parameter "invocation time" of the attribute "presentation time", if specified. The presentation time coordinate for terminating the presentation of the content of an object is either defined by the temporal nature of the content or by duration constraints defined by the parameters "duration" or "cyclic" of the attribute "presentation time", if specified. +- If the sub-parameter "fixed timing" is specified for an object with a value of $s$ , it is invoked for presentation $s$ scaled time units after its immediately superior objects started its presentation. +NOTE 2 – In particular, this parameter may be used to start the synchronous presentation of the content of two or more objects. +- If the parameter "duration" and the sub-parameter "cycle duration" are not specified, content which does not change with time is presented as long as the content of the superior frame or page is presented (e.g. the content of a block with character text remains visible as long as the superior frame or page itself). +- If the sub-parameter "fixed duration" is specified for an object with a integer value of $s$ , the content of the object is presented for $s$ scaled time units after the presentation of the content started. If the identifier of a layout object is specified, the presentation of the content of the object continues as long as the content of the referenced layout object is presented. +- If the sub-parameter "fixed duration" or the sub-parameter "cycle duration" of the parameter "cyclic" is specified, the content will no longer be perceivable after the specified time span has expired, e.g. audio content will no longer be heard, visual content such as character text will no longer be visible. +- The presentation of the content of an object which a position and dimension in space does not continue when the presentation of its immediately superior object terminates (e.g. the content of a block cannot be visible when the time span for its superior frame has expired). + +NOTE 3 – This restriction does not apply for blocks for which the value of the attributes "position" and "dimension" is 'null' such as for blocks with audio content. The content of such blocks may still be presented even if the frames or pages to which these blocks are subordinate are no longer presented. + +## 7.5 ASN.1 representations + +Temporal-Relationships { 2 8 1 14 0 } + +DEFINITIONS + +::= BEGIN + +IMPORTS + +Date-and-Time + +FROM Document-Profile-Descriptor { 2 8 1 5 6 } + +-- see ITU-T Rec.

Different hypermedia documents may use the same set of nodes and link them in different ways. + +A node may be related to any number of other nodes within the same document or within other documents. This means that from a structural point of view, the same node may be referred to by more than one link, although this node is contained (i.e. encoded) only once in the hypermedia document. Thus the links between the nodes are in the form of general directed graphs. + +The nodes in a hypermedia document can consist of processable documents or document fragments, formatted documents or document fragments, formatted-processable documents or document fragments or a mixture thereof. + +### 8.1.1 Nodes + +A node is either a whole document or hypermedia document or a document fragment. + +A document is structured as defined in the ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613 and in accordance with the extended architectural model defined in clause 6. A document may be in processable, formatted or formatted processable form. + +A document fragment is specified by a location expression as defined in ITU-T Rec. T.422 | ISO/IEC 8613-12. + +### 8.1.2 Links + +Links represent relationships between any number of nodes. + +Links are a means to express arbitrary relationships which are an integral part of an ODA document, such as cross-references or pointers to annotations. + +Furthermore, links may be used to establish relations between nodes without altering the underlying documents or document fragments, i.e. the same set of nodes may be composed into a number of different hypermedia documents. + +Links may be part of the document description (often referred to as *integral links*) or – separated from a particular document description – part of the hypermedia document as a whole (often referred to as *non-integral links*). + +### 8.1.3 Link classes + +A set of links may have common characteristics, for example: + +- to be used by beginners or advanced users; +- to be processed as a result of a user interaction rather than automatically; +- pointing to a certain kind of logical objects such as definitions or annotations; +- representing a cross-reference. + +A *link class* is a structural element that may be used for factorizing such common characteristics. + +ITU-T Rec.

For each entry, the parameter "link ends" specifies a set of nodes which serves as one set of link ends for the link. + +If the sub-parameter "reference name" is specified, this indicates that the link end resides in an external document (fragment). The sub-parameter "reference name", in conjunction with the parameter "reference name" of the document profile attribute "document references list", provide a mapping to this external document (fragment). If the sub-parameter "reference name" is specified, the sub-parameter "reference qualifier" shall specify only constituents which are a subset of or subordinate to the constituents identified by the parameter "reference qualifier" belonging to the referenced external document (fragment). + +NOTE 2 – The attribute "external references list" is defined in ITU-T Rec. T.422 | ISO/IEC 8613-12. + +The parameter "application comments" can be used by an application as information about the role of this link. + +NOTE 3 – Annex B defines possible information present in such an application comment. + +The sub-parameter "application comments" similarly can be used by an application as information about a single link end. + +The parameter "presentation style" is used to establish a relationship between this set of link ends and a presentation style. The presentation style may be used to override those attributes defined at the node(s) referred to. The parameter "presentation style" can be used to specify a default presentation style for the set of link ends. If a value is specified for the sub-parameter "presentation style" of the parameter "link ends", it overrides the value of the parameter "presentation style" for the particular link end it applies to. + +The parameter "layout style" is used to establish a relationship between this set of link ends and a layout style. The layout style may be used to override those attributes defined at the node(s) referred to. The parameter "layout style" can be used to specify a default layout style for the set of link ends. If a value is specified for the sub-parameter "layout style" of the parameter "link ends", it overrides the value of the parameter "layout style" for the particular link end it applies to. + +The parameter "user-visible name" can be used to identify the set of link ends. The parameter is intended to assist in browsing through a hypermedia document. For example, the value of this parameter may be a name which serves to indicate semantics of the link end to a human, such as "definition" or "additional background information". However, such values are not defined by ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613. + +The sub-parameter "user-visible name" similarly can be used to identify a single link end. + +The parameter "user-readable comments" is intended for human perception and may be used to describe the set of link ends. + +The sub-parameter "user-readable comments" similarly can be used to describe a single link end. + +### 8.3.5 Other attributes + +In addition, the attributes "application comments", "user-readable comments", "user-visible name", "sealed", and either "temporal relations" or "presentation time" may be specified. The attribute "temporal relations" may be used if the nodes addressed by the links are in processable form. The attribute "presentation time" may be used if the nodes addressed by the links are in formatted form. + +1) ISO 6937-2:1983, *Information processing-Coded character sets for text communication – Part 2: Latin alphabetic and non-alphabetic graphic characters*. + +## 8.4 Attributes of the document profile + +This subclause defines the attributes that may occur within the document profile of a hypermedia document in addition to the document profile attributes defined in ITU-T Rec.

Different document sets may use the same set of nodes and link them in different ways. + +A node may be related to any number of other nodes within the same document or within other documents. This means that from a structural point of view, the same node may be referred to by more than one link, although this node is contained (i.e. encoded) only once in the document set. Thus the links between the nodes are in the form of general directed graphs. + +The nodes in a document set can consist of processable documents or document fragments, formatted documents or document fragments, formatted-processable documents or document fragments or a mixture thereof. + +An example of a document set is shown in Figure 3. + +### 8.5.1 Nodes + +A node is either a whole document or hypermedia document or a document fragment. + +A document is structured as defined in the ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613 and in accordance with the extended architectural model defined in clause 6. A document may be in processable, formatted or formatted processable form. + +A document fragment is specified by a location expression as defined in ITU-T Rec. T.422 | ISO/IEC 8613-12. + +### 8.5.2 Links + +Links represent relationships between any number of nodes. + +Links in a document set are separate from a particular document description part, i.e. they are *non-integral links*. + +### 8.5.3 Link classes + +A set of links may have common characteristics; for example: + +- to be used by beginners or advanced users; +- to be processed as a result of a user interaction rather than automatically; +- pointing to a certain kind of logical objects such as definitions or annotations; +- representing a cross-reference. + +A *link class* is a structural element that may be used for factorizing such common characteristics. + +ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613 does not define particular link classes; however it provides the means by which link classes may be defined by applications or document application profiles. + +### 8.5.4 Document set profile + +The document set profile consists of a set of attributes which specify characteristics of the document set as a whole as well as the entry point to the document set (root node). It is not the intention of the document set profile to duplicate the information in the document profiles of the documents or hypermedia documents which are part of the document set. The attribute values in the document set profile may differ from all values in the associated document profiles. + +A document set profile may be interchanged or stored independent of the nodes and links of the document set. + +The document set profile contains information for use by humans beings and for machine processing. + +## 8.6 Document set profile attributes + +This subclause defines the attributes that may occur within the document set profile. Unless specified otherwise, all attributes are classified as non-mandatory. + +Where attribute values consist of character strings, the document set profile character set is used.

It consists of one or more entries. + +The value of each entry is either an ASN.1 object identifier or a string of characters from the document set profile character set. + +This value is equal to the value of the document profile attribute "document reference" of the document or document fragment referred to. + +### 8.6.9 Security features + +To prohibit unauthorized access to a document set profile, the document set profile may be enciphered, i.e. a document may contain a constituent of type *enciphered document set profile*. + +To support authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation of a document set profile, a document may contain a constituent of type *sealed document set profile*. + +## 8.7 Enciphered link part description + +To prohibit unauthorized access to links and link classes, these constituents may be enciphered, i.e. a document may contain constituents of type *enciphered link part*. + +Enciphered link part descriptions are included in the protected part of a document set. An enciphered link part description consists of two attributes: + +- protected part identifier; +- enciphered information. + +The attributes "protected part identifier" and "enciphered information" are as defined in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 with the following additional/modified semantics: + +- The value of the attribute "enciphered information" contains the result of a cryptographic algorithm applied to a sequence of constituents of the link part. + +## 8.8 Reference model for the hypermedia document and document set editing process + +The reference model for the editing process as defined in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 applies also to the editing process for a hypermedia document or document set. + +In addition, the editing process for a hypermedia document or document set is concerned with the creation/modification of links, link classes and /or the document set profile. + +## 8.9 Reference model for the hypermedia document and document set layout process + +The reference model for the layout process as described in clause 10 of ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 is extended as follows: if a processable document with a structure as described in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 contains a link part for integral links, the layout process adds additional links between layout objects created by the layout process to the link part. These additional links reflect the links specified between constituents of the logical structure. Otherwise, the presence of a link part with integral links has no effect to the specific layout structure created by the layout process. In particular, links are not traversed automatically during the layout process. + +The remaining specifications in this subclause address only the case that a hypermedia document or document set contains non-integral links and/or that it contains integral links which, in a particular application, are to be taken into account explicitly, thus ignoring the existing sequential order of the constituents of the document. + +Since a hypermedia document is distinguished from a normal document by the presence of links which provide different possibilities for reading the content of a hypermedia document, there exists no single visual representation of a hypermedia document. This applies also for a document set with links. Therefore, the layout process as described in this subclause does not result in a (single) specific layout structure as defined in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. + +NOTE 1 – Even if all nodes in a hypermedia document or document set are in formatted form, the union of all specific structures in the nodes does not represent the specific layout structure of a hypermedia document or document set; the concept of the specific structure of a hypermedia document or document set as such does not exist. + +The reference model for the layout process specifies only a set of rules for the individual layout processes which are carried out whenever a new node (which is in processable form) is reached by following a node during document browsing. The result of each individual layout process is an *intermediate* specific layout structure according to ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2 which is not intended for inclusion into interchanged hypermedia document or document set data streams. + +It is assumed that each node (which is in processable form) can be laid out in accordance with the rules defined below and the rules defined in ITU-T Rec. T.412 | ISO/IEC 8613-2. That is, it is assumed that each attribute pertaining to the layout process can be interpreted in accordance with the definition of the attribute. It is outside the scope of this Recommendation | International Standard to indicate how a node containing conflicting or inconsistent information is to be laid out. + +During the hypermedia document or document set layout process the layout of each node follows the layout specifications as defined for that node, unless the layout specifications are overridden by the corresponding parameters of the link description (presentation style, layout style, generic structure). In the latter case, the layout process has to be carried out in line with the specifications in the ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613 using the values provided by the link description. + +NOTE 2 – If there exist specifications with respect to temporal relationships for the presentation of content associated with different nodes, the individual layout processes may need to interact to satisfy these specifications. + +## 8.10 Reference Model for the hypermedia document and document set presentation process + +The presentation process for a hypermedia document or document set is a sequence of presentation processes as defined in the ITU-T Rec. T.410-Series | ISO/IEC 8613. + +An individual presentation process is started whenever: + +- a new node (which is in formatted or formatted-processable form) is reached by following a link during document browsing; or +- an individual document layout process for a node as described in 8.9 is finished. + +## 8.11 ASN.1 representations + +### 8.11.1 Document set descriptor + +**Document-Set-Descriptor { 2 8 1 14 1 }** + +**DEFINITIONS ::=** BEGIN + +**EXPORTS** Document-Set; + +**IMPORTS** Interchange-Data-Element +FROM Interchange-Data-Elements { 2 8 1 5 5 } +-- see ITU-T Rec.

T.415 | ISO/IEC 8613-5, this attribute is encoded as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING: + +**application-comments**                    [...] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING OPTIONAL .... + +Within this OCTET STRING, ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules are applied, again, resulting in a substructure of two components: + +**Appl-Comm-Encoding** ::=        SEQUENCE { +     **constraint-name**            [0] IMPLICIT PrintableString OPTIONAL, +     **external-data**             [1] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING OPTIONAL} + +The first component is a PrintableString. + +NOTE 2 – This component is intended to be used by document application profiles to identify the DAP constituent constraints defined therein. + +The second component is encoded as an ASN.1 OCTET STRING which is, in turn, substructured as a sequence of ASN.1 EXTERNAL types represented in ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules. + +**Appl-Comm-External-Data-Encoding** ::=        SEQUENCE OF EXTERNAL + +Each EXTERNAL value shall consist of at least two components: + +- an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER to uniquely identify the corresponding type; and +- the value itself, being encoded as an OCTET STRING, again. + +NOTE 3 – As defined in CCITT Rec.

It also provides examples of their use. + +## General + +Application comments structured in accordance with Annex A use sequences of ASN.1 EXTERNAL data to represent application specific information. + +The semantics of each piece of EXTERNAL data are identified by its ASN.1 object identifier. This object identifier is called an *application tag*. + +This annex defines a number of application tags that are likely to be useful for many applications of links and their semantics. + +NOTE – This annex requires a modification of Annex D of ITU-T Rec. T.411 | ISO/IEC 8613-1 as described in C.1.1. + +## B.1 Source role + +Applicability: within the parameter "application comments" of an attribute "linkroles". + +Structure of octet string: empty. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 1 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag is used to identify a link role as a possible source for traversal. It can be used to specify the traversal direction of the link: + +If "Source Role" applies to only a subset of the link roles of the link, it specifies that the link may only be traversed from the nodes specified by these link roles to the nodes specified by other link roles, in particular those tagged with "Destination Role". + +## B.2 Destination Role + +Applicability: within the parameter "application comments" of the attribute "linkroles". + +Structure of octet string: empty. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 2 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag is used to identify a link role as a possible destination for traversal. It can be used to specify the traversal direction of the link: if "Destination Role" applies to only a subset of the link roles of the link, it specifies that the link may be traversed only towards the nodes specified by these link roles from the nodes specified by other link roles, in particular those tagged with "Source Role". + +NOTE – A combination of "Source Role" and "Destination Role" application tags can be used to describe bidirectional links. + +## B.3 Single-ended Role + +Applicability: within the parameter "application comments" of the attribute "link roles". + +Structure of octet string: empty. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 3 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag specifies that the number of nodes addressed by this link role is restricted to one. + +## B.4 Multi-ended Role + +Applicability: within the parameter "application comments" of the attribute "linkroles". + +Structure of octet string: empty. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 4 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag specifies that there is no restriction on the number of nodes addressed by this role. + +## B.5 Automatic Invocation + +Applicability: within the attribute "application comments" of a link or link class description. + +Structure of octet string: empty. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 5 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag specifies that the link shall be invoked automatically when a hypermedia document is processed (e.g. presented). The processing application shall traverse the link immediately upon encountering it during processing; the destination location of the link becomes the next object in the processing sequence. + +NOTE – The processing model for automatic link traversal is not defined by this annex. + +## B.6 User Invocation + +Applicability: within the attribute "application comments" of a link or link class description. + +Structure of octet string: empty. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 6 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag specifies that the link shall be invoked selectively, i.e. by external events initiated by a user or application. This allows for navigating through the hypermedia document using different paths. The link shall be traversed only at the request of a user. How the user shall make the request is application-specific and beyond the scope of this annex. + +## B.7 Link-Path-Selector + +Applicability: within the attribute "application comments" of a link or link class description or within the parameter "application comments" of the attribute "link roles". + +Structure of octet string: ASN.1 binary encoding of a sequence of externals. + +ASN.1 object identifier: { 2 8 5 14 7 }. + +#### Definition + +This application tag is used to contain application specific information for the selection of a link or of a link role. When used within the parameter "application comments", the application tag "link-path-selector" defines the selection criteria by which the associated set of link ends may be selected for processing. The selection criteria are application-specific, and are not standardized by this annex. Similarly, when used within the attribute "application comments", the application tag defines selection criteria by which the link as a whole may be selected for processing. An example of such application-specific information might be whether the link is intended for use by an expert or a novice user. + +# Annex C + +## Modifications to other common texts of ITU-T Rec.

The first one is one bit per colour CMY(K) or RGB image. The second one is palettized colour image. The last one is continuous-tone colour and gray-scale image. + +This Recommendation, together with documents such as parts of Recommendations T.4 and T.30, or T.563, T.503 and T.521, will define a colour image data format that may be used by colour facsimile service and by other telematic services. + +In this Recommendation, the coding scheme specified in Recommendation T.82 (JBIG) is used for lossless encoding of these three types of colour and gray-scale images. Application of other coding schemes are for further study. + +## 2 Field of application + +This Recommendation defines a colour data representation and coding scheme which mainly enables a receiver to reproduce colour image data as specified by the sender. + +It is assumed that when a service is performed using this Recommendation, all non-basic features are subject to negotiation. + +## 3 References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; all users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is regularly published. + +- ITU-T Recommendation T.42 (1996), *Continuous-tone colour representation method for facsimile*. +- ITU-T Recommendation T.82 (1993) | ISO/IEC 11544:1993, *Information technology – Coded representation of picture and audio information – Progressive bi-level image compression*. (Commonly referred to as JBIG standard) + +# 4 Definitions + +The definitions in Recommendations T.42 and T.82 apply to this Recommendation unless explicitly amended. + +**4.1 JBIG: Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group**, and also shorthand for the encoding method, described in Recommendation T.82, which was defined by this group. + +## 5 Conventions + +The conventions in Recommendations T.42 and T.82 apply to this Recommendation. + +# **6 Image representation method** + +## **6.1 Overview** + +In this Recommendation, the representation methods for three types of colour and gray-scale images that require lossless coding scheme are defined. The first one is one bit per colour CMY(K) or RGB image. The second one is palettized colour image. The last one is continuous-tone colour and gray-scale image. Some of these images are electronically created under the soft-copy environment. Others may be obtained using scanner and image processing techniques such as the dither method. + +As the palettized colour image mode may require accurate reproduction in some cases, this mode has to have accurate colour reproduction possibility. Therefore, the colour palette table data of this mode are specified by the device-independent interchange colour space defined in Recommendation T.42. On the other hand, one bit per colour image mode is specified mainly to reproduce colour image using primary colours. + +The following represents an example for the use of one bit per colour CMY(K) or RGB mode: + +- A sender creates or generates an original colour image with three or four colour components and one bit per colour component using scanner and image processing techniques such as dither. Each bit-plane indicates the on/off of one of the primary colours. The sender encodes this image using lossless encoding method such as Recommendation T.82 (JBIG). The sender then sends the encoded data with the indication of this mode. The receiver receives the data and represents the image on the CRT (soft-copy) or printer (hard-copy) using their own primary colours. Although the sender adds the information about sender's primary colours and the receiver has high reproduction ability, the receiver may not reproduce the accurate colour image, because the tone reproduction property of the printer depends not only on primaries but also on pel recording size. + +The following represents an example for the use of palettized colour image mode: + +- A sender creates an original colour image using a colour palette in which table data are specified by a specific device-dependent colour space. This colour space may depend on the primaries, white point and gamma of the sender's CRT. The sender converts the device-dependent colour palette to the palette interchange colour space in which table data are specified by the device-independent colour space defined in Recommendation T.42. The sender then sends the interchange colour palette and the image data encoded with a lossless encoding method such as Recommendation T.82 (JBIG). The receiver receives the interchange colour palette and the encoded image data. The interchange colour palette is converted to the receiver-specific colour palette, which is specified by the receiver's device-dependent hard-copy or soft-copy colour space. + +The following represents an example for the use of lossless encoded continuous-tone colour image mode: + +- A sender creates or generates an original continuous-tone colour or gray-scale image in the colour space defined in Recommendation T.42. In some high-end applications, they need lossless transmission of these images. This Recommendation supports lossless encoding of these images using, such as Recommendation T.82 (JBIG). In order to obtain high data compression ratio using the lossless encoding methods, Gray code conversion technique is introduced. + +## **6.2 Colour representation** + +Colour representation defines colour image specification method. In this subclause, three types of colour representation methods are defined. + +### **6.2.1 One bit per colour CMY(K) or RGB image representation** + +In this mode, the colour image is treated as one bit per colour component type image using CMY(K) or RGB primaries. In one bit per colour type image in three colour primaries (CMY or RGB) or in four colour primaries (CMYK), each bit-plane expresses the following colour primaries as shown in Tables 1 to 3. + +**Table 1/T.43 – Colour table for one bit +per colour "CMYK" image** + +| Bit-plane | Colour primaries | +|-----------|------------------| +| MSB | Cyan | +| LSB+2 | Magenta | +| LSB+1 | Yellow | +| LSB | Black | + +**Table 2/T.43 – Colour table for one bit +per colour "CMY" image** + +| Bit-plane | Colour primaries | +|-----------|------------------| +| MSB | Cyan | +| LSB+1 | Magenta | +| LSB | Yellow | + +**Table 3/T.43 – Colour table for one bit +per colour "RGB" image** + +| Bit-plane | Colour primaries | +|-----------|------------------| +| MSB | Red | +| LSB+1 | Green | +| LSB | Blue | + +### 6.2.2 Palettized colour image representation + +Palettized colour images are expressed by indices of 12 bits or less or optionally 13 to 16 bits. The corresponding colour information of each index is given by the colour palette table, in which each entry consists of three component colour coordinates in CIELAB colour space. Each component of the colour coordinate is represented by 8 bits or 12 bits value specified by Recommendation T.42. A colour palette example that has 236 entries and each component is represented by 8 bits precision is shown in Table 4. A colour palette example that has 128 entries and each component is represented by 12 bits precision is shown in Table 5. + +### 6.2.3 Continuous-tone colour and gray-scale image representation + +In this mode, the colour image is represented by CIELAB colour space specified in Recommendation T.42 and the gray-scale image is represented by L\* component of CIELAB colour space specified in Recommendation T.42. Each component has 8 bits or less or optionally 9 to 12 bits precision. The data structure for this mode is defined for lossless encoding method. In order to obtain high encoding data efficiency, Gray code conversion is used. Currently sub-sampling is not supported in this Recommendation. + +Table 4/T.43 – Colour palette table example +for 236 entries and 8 bit accuracy + +| Index | Component values (8 bits) | | | +|-------|---------------------------|----------------|----------------| +| | L * | a * | b * | +| 0 | 255 | 128 | 96 | +| 1 | 0 | 128 | 96 | +| 2 | 128 | 128 | 96 | +| – | – | – | – | +| – | – | – | – | +| – | – | – | – | +| 235 | 220 | 128 | 220 | + +Table 5/T.43 – Colour palette table example +for 128 entries and 12 bit accuracy + +| Index | Component values (12 bits) | | | +|-------|----------------------------|----------------|----------------| +| | L * | a * | b * | +| 0 | 4095 | 2048 | 1536 | +| 1 | 0 | 2048 | 1536 | +| 2 | 2048 | 2048 | 1536 | +| – | – | – | – | +| – | – | – | – | +| 127 | 3520 | 2048 | 3520 | + +# 7 Data structure specification + +## 7.1 Overview + +Lossless encoding method such as JBIG can be used as a coding scheme for colour and gray-scale images.

Similarly, if the MSB in natural binary code is one, the MSB in Gray code is one. Then, checking the pair bits with the lower bit starting from MSB in natural binary code, each transition (0-to-1, and 1-to-0) produces a "1", each non-transition produces a "0". For example, 13, expressed as (1011) in natural binary code, is expressed as (1110) in Gray code ( $1 \geq 1$ , $1\text{-to-}0 \geq 1$ , $0\text{-to-}1 \geq 1$ , $1\text{-to-}1 \geq 0$ ).

But in colour facsimile application, P specifies the number of binary-planes which means the total number of bit-planes in all colour planes. Since the maximum value of bit-planes per colour component is 12, and the maximum value of colour component is three, the maximum value of P is 36. + +NOTE 2 – These parameters are not applied in single-progression sequential coding.

OPTIONS shall be negotiated by the appropriate facsimile protocols. + +**7.3.2.2 Interleave** + +In the JBIG coding, interleaving format is identified by the order of three loops: Stripe, Bit-plane, and Resolution. The order of loops is expressed with the combination of three binary JBIG header parameters: SEQ, ILEAVE, and SMID. In colour facsimile application, colour plane and bit-plane are merged into larger binary-plane loop, and the colour plane is put to the outer loop and bit-plane is put to the inner loop. The order of resolution is put to the outest loop considering the possible extension to future progressive mode. + +Considering the above assumptions, possible interleaving schemes are restricted to the following: + +- 1) Plane interleave: The order of loops from outer side is (Resolution, Plane, Stripe). +- 2) Stripe interleave: The order of loops from outer side is (Resolution, Stripe, Plane). + +The corresponding JBIG Header parameters are (SEQ = 0, ILEAVE = 1, SMID = 0) for (1), and (SEQ = 0, ILEAVE = 1, SMID = 1) for (2). + +Plane interleave may require full image size of memory at the transmitter, and require the same size of memory at the receiver for any printing systems as long as (L,a,b) colour space is used. (If CMY colour space will be specified in a future, colour plane memories can be saved at the receiver in thermal transfer or similar printing systems. It needs only one set of statistics memories for coding.) + +Stripe interleave requires only stripe-size memory at the transmitter, and also requires same size memory at the receiver for the ink jet or similar printing systems. However, the number of set of statistics memories for coding will correspond to the number of binary-planes to be coded, as long as SDNORM termination is used. + +The basic interleave scheme is stripe interleave and 128 line/stripe can be used without negotiation. Other stripe sizes, for example, 256, 512, 1024 lines in stripe interleave, are for further study. Plane interleave can be used with negotiation, and any stripe size can be used. + +10 **Recommendation T.43 (07/97)** + +In the binary-plane loop, the order among colour components and bit-planes are as follows: + +- One bit per colour mode: + - One bit per colour "CMY(K)": C, M, Y, (K) + - One bit per colour "RGB": R, G, B +- Palette colour mode: MSB to LSB +- Continuous-tone colour and gray-scale image: MSB to LSB of L\*, (MSB to LSB of a\*, MSB to LSB of b\*). + +#### 7.3.2.3 The bit order of coded data transmission on communication line + +The bit order of the coded data on the communication line is LSB first for each octet. + +For example, if the coded data stream, which was shown as an example in Table 26/T.82, is obtained by encoder, it is transmitted following the bit order shown below on the communication line: + +Coded data stream: + +PSCD: 6989 995c 32ea faa0 ....., + +MSB LSB + +(Bit expression) 01101001 10001001 10011001 01011100 00110010 11101010 ....., + +69 89 99 5c 32 ea + +Bit order on the communication line: + +First + +10010110 10010001 10011001 00111010 01001100 01010111..... + +### 7.3.3 Other encoding schemes + +For further study. + +# ITU-T RECOMMENDATIONS SERIES + +| | | +|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Series A | Organization of the work of the ITU-T | +| Series B | Means of expression: definitions, symbols, classification | +| Series C | General telecommunication statistics | +| Series D | General tariff principles | +| Series E | Overall network operation, telephone service, service operation and human factors | +| Series F | Non-telephone telecommunication services | +| Series G | Transmission systems and media, digital systems and networks | +| Series H | Audiovisual and multimedia systems | +| Series I | Integrated services digital network | +| Series J | Transmission of television, sound programme and other multimedia signals | +| Series K | Protection against interference | +| Series L | Construction, installation and protection of cables and other elements of outside plant | +| Series M | Maintenance: international transmission systems, telephone circuits, telegraphy, facsimile and leased circuits | +| Series N | Maintenance: international sound programme and television transmission circuits | +| Series O | Specifications of measuring equipment | +| Series P | Telephone transmission quality, telephone installations, local line networks | +| Series Q | Switching and signalling | +| Series R | Telegraph transmission | +| Series S | Telegraph services terminal equipment | +| Series T | Terminals for telematic services | +| Series U | Telegraph switching | +| Series V | Data communication over the telephone network | +| Series X | Data networks and open system communication | +| Series Z | Programming languages | \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marked/T/T-REC-T.431-199209-I_PDF-E/raw.md b/marked/T/T-REC-T.431-199209-I_PDF-E/raw.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..36ed96caa0a8ff7134105887a69855fa9d73fb0f --- /dev/null +++ b/marked/T/T-REC-T.431-199209-I_PDF-E/raw.md @@ -0,0 +1,645 @@ + + +![ITU logo: a globe with the letters ITU inside, crossed by a lightning bolt.](2dfa6ac3edfe874f68aa0cbccaa42322_img.jpg) + +ITU logo: a globe with the letters ITU inside, crossed by a lightning bolt. + +INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION + +# CCITT + +THE INTERNATIONAL +TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE +CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE + +## T.431 + +(09/92) + +**TERMINAL EQUIPMENT AND PROTOCOLS +FOR TELEMATIC SERVICES** + +--- + +**DOCUMENT TRANSFER AND MANIPULATION +(DTAM) – SERVICES AND PROTOCOLS – +INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES** + +![CCITT logo: a stylized globe with the letters CCITT inside.](6ed175c791b5e156d9c98a8dbcc3318c_img.jpg) + +CCITT logo: a stylized globe with the letters CCITT inside. + +**Recommendation T.431** + +--- + +# FOREWORD + +The CCITT (the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee) is a permanent organ of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

It is related to other CCITT Recommendations in the set as defined by the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (see Recommendation X.200). The Reference Model subdivides the area of standardization for interconnection into a series of layers of specification, each of manageable size. + +The T.430-Series Recommendations define a Document Transfer and Manipulation (DTAM) Service and specify a DTAM Protocol available within the Application Layer of the Reference Model. The DTAM defined in this series of Recommendations is one of the Application Service Elements (ASE), which is specifically designed for document handling. It is concerned with identifiable bodies of information which can be treated as documents, and which may be stored within open systems or accessed, transferred and manipulated between application processes. + +This Recommendation and Recommendations T.432 and T.433 define general principles and application rules, basic DTAM services, and protocol, respectively. They provide sufficient facilities to support DTAM and establish a framework for DTAM management. + +This Recommendation defines in an abstract way application rules of the DTAM service. DTAM applications defined using these series of Recommendations are specified in terms of service classes. A service class consists of a combination of functional units and communication support functions. + +The term document used in this series of Recommendations covers ODA documents as well as other types of information, e.g. files. + +# **DOCUMENT TRANSFER AND MANIPULATION (DTAM) – SERVICES AND PROTOCOLS – INTRODUCCION AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES** + +*(revised 1992)* + +# **1 Scope and field of application** + +This Recommendation defines in an abstract way application rules of the DTAM service.

Two modes are defined to perform Document Bulk Transfer: + +#### a) *Normal Mode* + +Document bulk transfer is ensured in conjunction with the use of ACSE, RTSE and presentation. + +#### b) *Transparent Mode* + +DTAM protocol elements are directly mapped to the session layer. This mode is only applicable to facsimile Group 4 application. + +### 5.2.2 *Remote document manipulations* + +An operation can be applied to one or more constituents or a substructure of document and/or the application defined structures such as the operational structure. Operations applying to more than one constituent or a substructure are performed by applying the operation to each of the constituents or the substructures. The operations used by the application have to obey certain rules. Detail specification of the operational structure is described in Recommendation T.441. + +#### 5.2.2.1 *Operations for manipulations* + +##### 1) *Create operation* + +The create operation effects the addition of a constituent to the document or to the application defined structure. + +The create operation may carry the constituents, including the values applicable to the created constituent. If attributes are not set by the operation, they are set to their default values (if defined) or remain undefined otherwise. The relationship attributes of the superior are not implicitly modified by the create operation. + +##### 2) *Delete operation* + +The delete operation provokes the deletion of the identified constituent and all subordinates. The relationship attributes of the superior constituents are not implicitly modified by the delete operation. + +*Note* – If content portions are deleted as subordinates of either layout or logical structure, it is the responsibility of the application to ensure that they are also deleted for the complementary structure. + +##### 3) *Modify operation* + +For the identified constituent, the modify operation assigns new values to the mentioned attributes. Attributes not mentioned in a modify operation remain unchanged. Identification attributes are used in a modify operation to identify the concerned constituent. They are set at the time of the creation of the object or content portion and remain unchanged by modify operations. Other invariable attributes must not occur in this operation. + +Whenever applying one of the concerned operations, it is the responsibility of the application to ensure consistency of the document. + +##### 4) *Call operation* + +The call operation is used to read an object of the Operational Structure which contains a sequence of DTAM protocol data unit which is applicable to the existing document. + +##### 5) *Rebuild operation* + +The rebuild operation is for further study. + +### 5.2.3 *Remote document access* + +For further study. + +### 5.2.4 *Remote document management* + +For further study. + +## 5.3 *Communication support functions* + +DTAM makes use of the following services as a communication support function to exchange protocol elements between DTAM Protocol Machines (DTAM-PMs): + +- a) the service of session layer defined in Recommendation X.215 according to the rule of Recommendation T.62 *bis*; +- b) the service of ACSE (Association Control Service Element) and the service of presentation layer; +- c) the service of RTSE (Reliable Transfer Service Element). + +*Note* – The use of ROSE (Remote Operation Service Element) is left for further study. + +## 5.4 *Telematic Protocol Architecture (TPA) model* + +DTAM operates between two Telematic DTAM Protocol Machines (DTAM-PMs) in the application layer of OSI model. Protocol elements are exchanged between DTAM-PMs, using the service of session layer as defined in Recommendation X.215 according to T.62 *bis* rules, or the services of ACSE (Association Control Service Element), presentation layer services and RTSE (Reliable Transfer Service Element). Telematic Protocol Architecture (TPA) model is shown in Figure 1/T.431. The application layer protocol architecture illustrated in this figure is composed of ACSE, RTSE, DTAM application service element, and DTAM user elements. + +Inclusion of ROSE element in TPA is left for further study. + +![A diagram of the Telematic Protocol Architecture (TPA) model.

Functional units are used to simplify the procedure as the application protocol. Recommendations T.432 and T.433 define DTAM service and protocol that may be used in an application profile. This subsection defines the rules for using functional units within an application profile, as follows: + +- 1) The communication application profile must specify all functional units conforming to a service class. +- 2) The communication application profile must specify all DTAM service primitives that are associated with functional units. +- 3) The communication application profile must specify all parameter sets that are associated with a DTAM service, these service primitives must include parameters that are classified as mandatory in the Recommendation T.432. +- 4) The communication application profile must specify value and default value of DTAM protocol data handled by a functional unit. +- 5) The communication application profile may specify or exclude the use of any DTAM service primitives that is classified as a user option in Recommendation T.432. +- 6) The communication application profile may specify as mandatory the use of any DTAM service primitives that is classified as a user option in Recommendation T.432. + +## 7.4 *Communication support functions* + +Table 2/T.431 defines permissible combinations of a service class and communication support functions. Recommendation T.433 defines DTAM protocol in conjunction with the Association Control Service Element (ACSE), the Reliable Transfer Service Element (RTSE) and Presentation service or Session service (see Recommendation X.215) according to the rule of Recommendation T.62 *bis*. This subsection defines the rules for using communication support functions within an application profile, as follows: + +- The application profile must specify all communication support functions conforming to a service class. + +## 7.5 *Use of communication application profile* + +A single communication application profile is used for one association. The use of more than one communication application profile during the lifetime of association is for further study. + +# 8 **Service classes, functional units and communication support functions** + +Functional units and service classes are logical groupings of related DTAM services defined in Recommendation T.432. + +## 8.1 *Service classes* + +Recommendations T.432 and T.433 define all DTAM services and procedures as application protocol that may be used in defining each service class. Which functional units are mandatory and which are optional in each service class; document bulk transfer, document manipulation and document transfer and manipulation are shown in Table 1/T.431. + +### 8.1.1 *Document bulk transfer class* + +In terminal-to-terminal communications, there exist bulk document transfer applications transmitting documents as a whole, such as G4 facsimile and mixed-mode communications. In this document bulk transfer applications, a document generated at one system (terminal) is transmitted to another system (terminal). + +The document bulk transfer class consists of + +- a) association use control functional unit; +- b) optionally, capability functional unit; +- c) document bulk transfer functional unit; +- d) exception report functional unit (see Note); +- e) optionally, token control functional unit. + +*Note* – Use of exception report functional unit is for further study. + +### 8.1.2 *Document manipulation class* + +In Telematic document data base applications, parts of a document may be transferred to generate a whole document sequentially, concatenating parts stored in different resources. The only document manipulation class can be applied to this application. The document manipulation class consists of + +- a) association use control functional unit; +- b) optionally, capability functional unit; +- c) document manipulation functional unit (unconfirmed), +- d) optionally, token control functional unit, +- e) optionally, typed data transmission functional unit. + +### 8.1.3 *Document bulk transfer and manipulation class* + +In addition to document transfer applications, there exist conversational applications transmitting documents two-way interactively. This service class is achieved by an arbitrary combination of document bulk transfer and document manipulation. For example, in terminal-to-terminal communications, conversational applications include interactive Telematic services with handwriting and pointing, and interactive remote editing of previously transmitted documents. In host access applications, special characteristics of Document Architecture include the use of soft copy media. These enable partial document manipulations such as modification or deletion of portions of the structured document received from the host. In this application, document structure of a previously transmitted document may be manipulated. + +*Note* – In host-to-terminal communications the structured document is transferred as a body part for submission, delivery, filing and retrieval. Applicability to other host-to-terminal communications, such as MHS, document filing and retrieval service, is left for further study. + +The document bulk transfer and manipulation class consists of + +- a) association use control functional unit; +- b) optionally, capability functional unit; +- c) document bulk transfer functional unit; + +- d) optionally, exception report functional unit; +- e) optionally, token control functional unit; +- f) optionally, typed data transmission functional unit. + +### 8.1.4 *Remote document access class* + +For further study. + +### 8.1.5 *Remote document management class* + +For further study. + +## 8.2 *Functional units* + +### 8.2.1 *Association use control functional unit (Kernel)* + +DTAM provides the trigger for the use of the association provided in ACSE, and controls association use during communication. Association use control unit supports basic DTAM services for unique discrimination of both AEs, selection of functional units, establishment, termination and abort of association use. + +### 8.2.2 *Capability functional unit* + +The DTAM capability functional unit provides the means for invocation or negotiation of application and communication characteristics during an association being in effect up to the next subsequent DTAM capability invocation. + +### 8.2.3 *Data transmission functional units* + +DTAM provides document transfer methods, such as document bulk transfer, document manipulation and typed data transmission. Data transmission unit consists of the following three units: + +#### a) *Document bulk transfer functional unit* + +DTAM has a function to transmit the document in bulk to the other DTAM under the communication environment negotiated by D-INITIATE service and additionally by D-CAPABILITY service. The documents represented by ODIF (Document Interchange Format) is transmitted using bulk document transfer unit. + +#### b) *Document manipulation functional unit (confirmed or unconfirmed)* + +In addition to the above bulk transfer, DTAM provides a function to partially modify a document by generating, revising or deleting structures of an existing document. The DTAM user uses this document manipulation unit to manipulate structures in an existing document. + +#### c) *Typed data transmission functional unit* + +In host-access applications, data sent to the host by the user are fundamentally unstructured retrieval commands and interrupts such as transmission stop requests. The DTAM has a function to pass such data directly on to the DTAM user as typed data. Typed data transmission unit transmits commands for document filing, document retrieval and interrupt without subjecting to token control. + +### 8.2.4 *Session management functional unit* + +The DTAM has control functions for conversational control provided by the session layer. + +#### – Token control functional unit + +Transmission rights required for document transfer and document manipulations are controlled with token control unit. + +### 8.2.5 *Exception report functional unit* + +For further study. + +### 8.2.6 *Remote document access functional unit* + +For further study. + +### 8.2.7 *Remote document management functional unit* + +For further study. + +## 8.3 *Communication support functions* + +This subsection defines permissible combinations of a service class and communication support functions. Valid combinations of service classes and communication support functions are summarized in Table 2/T.431. Recommendations T.432 and T.433 define DTAM services and procedures that specify two communication support functions: the Association Control Service Element (ACSE) service, the RTSE and the Presentation service (see Recommendation X.216) or Session service (see Recommendation X.215) according to the rule of Recommendation T.62 *bis*. Other communication support functions such as ROSE element are left for further study. + +### 8.3.1 *Document bulk transfer class* + +#### a) *Use of Recommendation T.62 bis (BT0)* + +Application Protocol Data Units (APDU) defined in DTAM are directly mapped to Session service defined in Recommendation X.215 according to the rule of Recommendation T.62 *bis*. + +#### b) *Use of ACSE, RTSE and Presentation layer services (BT1)* + +Other Telematic document bulk transfer service classes may be provided in conjunction with the ACSE (see Recommendation X.217), the RTSE (see Recommendation X.218) and the Presentation service (see Recommendation X.216). + +*Note* – It is the responsibility of the DTAM implementors to make sure that the “session requirements” parameter in the A-ASSOCIATE request primitive will contain the appropriate value to select Session Capability Data FU. + +### 8.3.2 *Document manipulation class* + +#### – Use of ACSE and Presentation layer services (DM1) + +The Telematic document manipulation service classes may be provided in conjunction with the ACSE (see Recommendation X.217), and the Presentation service (see Recommendation X.216). + +### 8.3.3 *Document bulk transfer and manipulation class* + +#### – Use of ACSE, RTSE and Presentation layer services (DM1) + +Telematic document bulk transfer and manipulation service classes may be provided in conjunction with the ACSE (see Recommendation X.217), the RTSE (see Recommendation X.218) and the Presentation service (see Recommendation X.216). + +### 8.3.4 *Remote document access class (RDA)* + +For further study. + +### 8.3.5 *Remote document management class (RDM)* + +For further study. + +(to Recommendation T.431) + +### **Summary of the definition procedure of a communication application profile** + +![Flowchart illustrating the definition procedure of a communication application profile.](4356776ca004ecba5d599667a155d7d4_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph TD + DTAM[DTAM Application profile] --> CAP[Communication Application Profile] + DTAM -.-> DAP[Document Application Profile] + DTAM -.-> OAP[Operational Application Profile] + CAP --> SSC[Select Service Class] + SSC --> SFU[Specify: Functional Units] + SSC --> SCF[Specify: Communication Support Functions] + SFU --> DSP[DTAM service primitives] + DSP --> DTP[DTAM protocol parameters values and default value] + SCF --> SS[Session service] + SS --> DTPS[DTAM protocol parameters mapping to session service] + SCF --> ASE[ASEs: ACSE, RTSE Presentation service] + ASE --> DTPU[DTAM protocol parameters mapping to underline service] + +``` + +The diagram illustrates the definition procedure of a communication application profile.

This Recommendation is one of a set of Recommendations defining the services for sets of application-service-elements specifically used by a number of applications. + + + +# **DOCUMENT TRANSFER AND MANIPULATION (DTAM) SERVICES AND PROTOCOLS – SERVICE DEFINITION** + +*(revised 1992)* + +# **1 Scope and field of application** + +This Recommendation defines in an abstract way the Document Transfer and Manipulation (DTAM) service within the OSI application layer in terms of + +- a) the primitive actions and events of the service; +- b) the parameter data associated with each primitive action and event; +- c) the relationship between, and the valid sequences of, these actions and events. + +The DTAM service is provided in conjunction with the Reliable Transfer Service Element (RTSE) service (Recommendation X.218), the Association Control Service Element (ACSE) service (Recommendation X.217), and the Presentation service (Recommendation X.216). In the Transparent mode, DTAM service is provided in conjunction with the Session service (Recommendation X.215) according to the rules of Recommendation T.62 *bis*. + +This Recommendation does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it contain the implementation of entities and interfaces within a telematic system. + +# **2 References** + +References are listed in Recommendation T.431. + +## **3 Definitions and abbreviations** + +Terms and abbreviations are defined in Recommendation T.431. + +# **4 Conventions** + +This Recommendation defines services for the DTAM following the descriptive conventions defined in Recommendation X.210. In § 9, the definition of each DTAM service includes a table that lists the parameters of its primitives.

The model defines the interactions between the two DTAM-service-users and the DTAM-service-provider that take place between application entities. Information is passed between a DTAM-service-user and the DTAM-service-provider by DTAM service primitives which may carry parameters. + +One of the DTAM-service-users is defined as the initiator and the other is defined as the responder. + +The model of the DTAM service is illustrated in Figure 1/T.432. + +The DTAM service defines a single activity between the initiator and the responder (see Note 2). + +*Note 1* – Recommendation X.210 defines a model for the service provided by a layer of the OSI Reference Model. + +*Note 2* – At any one time, an application entity may be involved in more than one instance of the DTAM service activity, and each instance is based on a separate application association. + +![Figure 1/T.432: Model of DTAM service. This diagram illustrates the architecture of the DTAM service across two entities: the DTAM user (initiator) and the DTAM user (responder).

This mode implies some restriction in use of DTAM services. + +### b) *Normal Mode* + +This mode is provided to allow full use of DTAM services based on the OSI service definition and protocol specification. + +*Note* – It should be taken into account that in some cases the two modes also differ in the means in which the DTAM services are used. An important example is the use of the D-CAPABILITY service (see also § 6.2). + +# 6 DTAM services + +This section provides a short description of the services of the DTAM service. The services and the primitives by which they are invoked are defined in § 9. For each service, the user of the service (the application entity that begins the sequence of primitives) is stated. + +## 6.1 DTAM association use control + +Three services are associated with DTAM association use control: + +- a) the DTAM establishment service is used by the initiator to create a DTAM association for the application association linking the two DTAM-service-users; +- b) the DTAM termination service is used by either the initiator or the responder being subject to owning the data token to dissolve the DTAM association between the DTAM-service-user and the DTAM- service-provider; + +*Note* – The DTAM termination service is not restricted to map into A-RELEASE service provided by ACSE or RT-CLOSE service provided by RTSE. + +- c) the DTAM abort service is used by either the service users or the service provider to dissolve the DTAM association unconditionally. + +## 6.2 DTAM negotiation capability + +DTAM negotiation capabilities are expressed by means of the D-INITIATE and D-CAPABILITY services for indication and invocation of application and communication characteristics during an association. + +Using the D-INITIATE service, an initial set of characteristics must be indicated, which partially can be modified or invoked by using the D-CAPABILITY service. These characteristics are in effect up to the next subsequent D-CAPABILITY service invocation. A D-CAPABILITY service is used by either the initiator or the responder being subject to owning the data token to indicate or invoke the above characteristics. + +Attention is drawn to the fact that the concept of how to use the D-INITIATE and D-CAPABILITY services is different for the two modes defined for the DTAM bulk transfer. + +- a) Under the DTAM Transparent Mode, one set of application capabilities must be indicated in the D-INITIATE service. This set can be modified during the association. The parameters of the D-CAPABILITY service are mapped to the S-CAPABILITY-DATA service parameters. The invocation of specific characteristics, used in the following document, is achieved by using the S-ACTIVITY-START service element. The service parameters of the S-ACTIVITY-START request are derived from the “document profile” which is not directly transferred to the receiving side under the DTAM Transparent Mode. However, the document profile is generated at the receiving side from the service parameters of S-ACTIVITY-START indication. +- b) Under the DTAM Normal Mode, several sets of application capabilities may be indicated (at least one set must be present) in the D-INITIATE service. There are no means to modify these parameters during the association. + +One specific set of application capabilities may be invoked by using the D-CAPABILITY service to indicate the specific characteristics of the document which will be subsequently transmitted. + +## 6.3 *Document bulk transfer* + +DTAM provides a function to transmit a document in bulk from one DTAM user to a peer under the communications environment defined by the DTAM association use and the DTAM capability functions. + +## 6.4 *Document unconfirmed manipulations* + +DTAM provides a function to partially modify a document seen by both users, by generating, revising or deleting structures (pages, blocks, etc.) of an existing document, or to create a new document by generating structure without any confirmation of the manipulation. Five services are associated with document manipulation: + +- a) the unconfirmed create operation service is used by both sides to add the constituents of ODA and Operational Structure to an existing document or to create constituents of ODA and Operational Structure; +- b) the unconfirmed delete operation service is used by both sides to delete the constituents of ODA and Operational Structure of an existing document; +- c) the unconfirmed modify operation service is used by both sides to modify the attributes of the constituents of ODA and Operational Structure of an existing document; +- d) the unconfirmed call operation service is used by both sides to request to address or to read an object of the Operational Structure which contains a sequence of the DTAM protocol data units. These protocol data units are applicable to the existing document; +- e) the unconfirmed rebuild operation service is for further study. + +## 6.5 *Document confirmed manipulations (for further study)* + +DTAM provides a function to partially modify a document seen by both users, by generating, revising or deleting structure of an existing document or to create a new document by generating structure with a confirmation of the manipulation. + +## 6.6 *Typed data transmission* + +DTAM optionally provides the function of typed data transmission which is independent of the data token control. + +## 6.7 *Token control* + +Within DTAM, the right to transfer and manipulate documents is controlled in the following way: + +- the control of document transfer is associated with document bulk transfer; +- the data token is associated with document manipulation. + +Token control provides services for exchanging the control of document transfer and for exchanging the data token. + +## 6.8 *Exception report* + +DTAM optionally provides two exception reporting functions for exceptional error control during the DTAM communication: + +- provider exception report (for further study); +- user exception report (for further study). + +## 6.9 *Document selection control (for further study)* + +Four services are associated with document selection control: + +- a) the document selection service is used by the initiator to select an existing document and to bind the specified document to the DTAM application-association; + +- b) the document deselection service is used by the initiator to release the binding between the DTAM application-association and the specified document; +- c) the document creation service is used by the initiator to create a specified document and to select the newly created document; +- d) the document deletion service is used by the initiator to release an existing selection in such a way that the previously selected document ceases to exist. + +## 6.10 *Document management* (for further study) + +Two services are associated with document management: + +- a) the read attributes service is used by the initiator to interrogate the document attributes of the selected document; +- b) the change attributes service is used by the initiator to modify the document attributes of the selected document. + +## 6.11 *Document open control* (for further study) + +Two services are associated with document open control: + +- a) the document open service is used by the initiator to establish the presentation context and the concurrency and commitment controls for data transfer; +- b) the document close service is used by the initiator to release the context established by the document open service. + +## 6.12 *Grouping control* (for further study) + +Two services are associated with grouping control: + +- a) the beginning of grouping service is used by the initiator to indicate the start of a set of grouped primitives which are to be processed and responded to as a group; +- b) the end of grouping service is used by the initiator to indicate the end of a set of grouped primitives which are to be processed and responded to as a group. + +# 7 **Functional units** + +DTAM service classes in Recommendation T.431 and in functional units are logical groupings of related services defined in this Recommendation for the purpose of + +- negotiation of the DTAM-service-user's requirements during DTAM application-association establishment; +- reference by other CCITT Recommendations. + +## 7.1 *Association use control functional unit* + +The DTAM provides the trigger for the establishment and use of the association. The association use control unit supports the basic DTAM services for unique discrimination of both application entities (AEs), selection of functional units, set of an initial DTAM capability, establishment, termination and abort of association use. + +## 7.2 *Capability functional unit* + +The DTAM context is the communication environment depending on the document architecture (ODA and Operational Structure) used for data transmission on an association. In addition to the initial DTAM context setting at the start of association use, a context management unit is optionally used to set a more detailed communication environment, such as optional application capabilities. + +## 7.3 *Data transmission functional units* + +The DTAM provides document transfer methods, such as bulk document transfer, document manipulation and typed data transmission. The data transmission unit consists of the following four units. + +### 7.3.1 *Document bulk transfer functional unit* + +The DTAM has a function to transmit the document in bulk to the other DTAM user under the communication environment defined at the start of the association use and/or the capability control. The documents represented by the Document Interchange Format defined in Recommendations T.415 and T.441 are transmitted using the document bulk transfer unit. Other types of data may be transferred by using the transfer option defined for the DTAM bulk transfer. + +*Note* – The detailed definition of Recommendation T.441 (Interchange Format of Operational Structure) depends on the ongoing work on Operational Structure. + +### 7.3.2 *Document unconfirmed manipulation functional unit* + +DTAM provides a function to partially modify a document by generating, revising or deleting structures of an existing document or to create a new document. The DTAM user uses a document manipulation unit to manipulate structures of an existing document or to create a new document. + +### 7.3.3 *Document confirmed manipulation functional unit* + +Use of this functional unit is for further study. + +### 7.3.4 *Typed data transmission functional unit* + +The DTAM provides a function to pass these units directly to the DTAM user as typed data. User information (e.g. transmission interrupt) can be transported by typed transmission units without being subject to token control. + +## 7.4 *Exception report functional unit* + +The DTAM provides exception reporting services for exceptional conditions occurring in the DTAM user or DTAM-service-provider. + +## 7.5 *Session management functional units* + +The DTAM manages dialogue control functions provided by the session layer, the following functional units being available for DTAM communication environment. + +### 7.5.1 *Token control functional unit* + +Transmission rights required for document transfer and document manipulations are controlled with the token control unit.

ODA documents consist of one or more “interchange data elements” of the types defined in Recommendations T.415, T.441 and T.541, in accordance with the document application profile and operational application profile that are in effect. + +When RTSE is used, a single ASN.1 data type is required by Recommendation X.218 to convey the document information within an ASN.1 external type. + +*Note* – In the case that ODA documents are transferred by use of RTSE (DTAM Normal Mode), the rules described in Recommendation T.415 § 5.1 apply, and the document information is encoded as an ASN.1 sequence of interchange data elements. + +#### 9.6.1.2 *Transfer time* + +This parameter defines the time period within which the DTAM-provider must successfully transfer the Document information to the other DTAM-user. This parameter is used only in the DTAM Normal Mode as mandatory parameter and has to be supplied by the requestor of the D-TRANSFER service. The absence of this parameter indicates that the established DTAM application-association is performed under the DTAM Transparent Mode. + +#### 9.6.1.3 *Document information type* + +This parameter is used only in the DTAM Transparent Mode. It may take different values depending on the primitive where it is used: + +- a) in a D-TRANSFER request it shall take one of the following values: + - i) “transfer of a document from its beginning”; + - ii) “transfer of a document from a synchronization point” when the parameter takes this latter value, the value of the corresponding synchronization point shall be given in the parameter “synchronization point” (see § 9.6.1.5). +- b) in a D-TRANSFER indication of confirm, it shall take one of the following values: + - i) “transfer completed”; + - ii) “transfer not completed”; when this parameter takes this latter value, the value of the last positively acknowledged synchronization point is given in the parameter “synchronization point” (see § 9.6.1.5). + +*Note* – In a logical interface sense, it is assumed that, for retransmission of document, the complete document is submitted to DTAM Protocol Machine (PM) using the D-TRANSFER service. It is assumed that DTAM-PM locates the checkpoints in the same manner as in the first transmission. + +#### 9.6.1.4 *Document reference information* + +This parameter uniquely identifies a document in the D-TRANSFER service. The value of this parameter shall be assigned as decimal digits, preferably but not necessarily starting from 001. This value shall then sequentially be incremented by one for each successive document transmission. This parameter shall be assigned to all documents by the DTAM user sending the document. + +In order to uniquely identify the documents exchanged, it is recommended that the same value of this parameter should not appear within an application-association. This parameter is used only in the DTAM Transparent Mode. + +#### 9.6.1.5 *Synchronization point* + +This parameter has different significations depending on the service primitive: + +- i) in a D-TRANSFER-request it indicates the requested minor synchronization point number from which the initiator tries to retransmit. It is used together with the value “transfer of a document from a synchronization point” of the parameter Document Information Type; +- ii) in a D-TRANSFER-indication it indicates the last positively confirmed minor synchronization point number (for further study); +- iii) in a D-TRANSFER-confirm it indicates the last positively confirmed minor synchronization point number. It is used together with the value “transfer not completed” of the parameter Document Information Type. If no synchronization point was confirmed during the document transfer, this parameter may be absent. + +This parameter is used only in the DTAM Transparent Mode. + +#### 9.6.1.6 *Result* + +This parameter specifies the result of the transfer as follows: + +- Document-Information-transferred: positive confirm; the Document-Information has been transferred to, and secured by the receiving DTAM-provider (used for both DTAM modes); +- Document-information-not-transferred: negative confirm; the Document-Information could not be transferred within the specified transfer time (used for DTAM Normal Mode); +- Document-Information-not-completely-transferred: negative confirm; the Document-Information could not be completely transferred, remaining part of the document as indicated by the value of the parameter “document information type” (used for DTAM Transparent Mode). The indication of this parameter may have as a result to resume the transmission of the remaining part of the document from the requesting DTAM user; +- Document-Information-continue-not-possible: negative confirm; this value is used when the document linking information is not available at the sending or receiving side (used for DTAM Transparent Mode). The indication of this parameter may have as a result to retry the transmission of the entire document again from the requesting DTAM user. + +This parameter has to be supplied by the DTAM-provider. + +#### 9.6.1.7 *Checkpoint value* + +Under the DTAM Transparent Mode the places to insert the checkpoints are related to a number of IDEs indicated by the DTAM user. A checkpoint should be set at the end of each segment and a segment should be composed of the number of integral IDE which is indicated by the user. Only the number of IDE of the last segment is equal or inferior to the indicated number. + +This parameter specifies the number of IDEs that compose one segment. + +*Note* – Some applications may not count IDEs of Document Profile and Document Root. + +## 9.7 *D-TYPED-DATA service* + +Typed data transmission is used independently of the data token and is issued from both DTAM users when required.

services for document remote access, presentation, editing, and transfer. It contains two new application service elements for interactive confirmed document manipulation, aligned with, and provided for, the integrated use with applications defined under the Distributed Office Application Model (DOAM). The two application service elements are the DTAM-TM and DTAM-TK. + +DTAM-DM provides the facilities to allow all type of remote document manipulation of full documents and document fragments. It is especially designed to be combined with the ODA Abstract Interface for Document manipulation (Recommendation T.413). If document storage and access is requested, provision is made in DTAM-DM that full use of the document filing and retrieval functions defined in ISO/IEC 10166 (DFR) can be made within the DTAM based association. DTAM-TK provides an application token function so that two or more users can communicate in conferences. + + + +# **DOCUMENT TRANSFER AND MANIPULATION (DTAM) – SERVICES AND PROTOCOLS – ABSTRACT SERVICE DEFINITION AND PROCEDURES FOR CONFIRMED DOCUMENT MANIPULATION** + +*(Geneva, 1995)* + +# **1 Scope** + +ITU-T (former CCITT) specified the seven-layer reference model of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), Recommendation X.200. The overall objective of the OSI reference model is to define standards allowing systems to communicate. + +The OSI application layer is composed of the Application Service Elements (ASE) which are intended to provide specific services for applications. + +One of these application service elements is Document Transfer And Manipulation (DTAM). DTAM is designed for document handling, that is, transfer of documents and access and manipulation of document fragments between application entities within open telematic systems. DTAM is defined in the T.430-Series of Recommendations. Recommendation T.431 gives an introduction and describes general principles of DTAM. Recommendations T.432 and T.433 define the application service element for document bulk transfer and unconfirmed document manipulation. + +This Recommendation, together with the protocol specifications contained in Recommendation T.436, define two new application service elements for interactive confirmed document manipulation, aligned with (and provided for) the integrated use with applications defined under the Distributed Office Application Model (DOAM), ISO/IEC 10031. + +The two application service elements defined by this Recommendation are: + +- 1) DTAM-DM – The DTAM application service element for enhanced Document Manipulation; and +- 2) DTAM-TK – The DTAM application service element for application ToKen exchange. + +The DTAM-DM abstract services provide facilities to allow remote operations on any kind of documents or document fragments. If the documents of interest are structured amount of information according to the Open Document Architecture (ODA), the document fragments represent the ODA constituents, the T.410 – and T.420 – Series of Recommendations. Documents of other types may provide other means to identify the document fragments uniquely. Documents and document fragments are considered to be manipulation objects within the scope of this Recommendation. + +DTAM-DM can be combined with the Document Filing and Retrieval (DFR) application service element, ISO/IEC 10166 for document access and manipulation applications. Both DFR and DTAM-DM are applications that allow remote operations on any kind of documents. While DTAM-DM is concerned with the manipulation of document fragments, the filing and retrieval of complete documents is in the scope of DFR. When there is a need to manipulate documents altogether as well as document fragments that are kept within a document store, the combined use of DTAM-DM and DFR abstract services is applied. + +The DTAM-TK application service element provides for the handling of an application token to structure a dialogue, if two or more users are involved in conference type of applications. DTAM-TK is intended to be used in conjunction with other application service elements, for example, together with DTAM-DM. + +The DTAM-DM and DTAM-TK abstract services are provided in conjunction with the Association Control Service Element (ACSE), Recommendation X.217, the Remote Operation Service Element (ROSE), Recommendation X.219, and the Presentation Service, Recommendation X.216. + +This Recommendation does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it contain the implementation of entities or interfaces within a telematic system. + +# 2 References + +The following Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

Documents are substructured objects to be considered as Manipulation Objects (MO) which may be for example: + +- ODA documents, substructured into several types of objects, classes, styles, contents, among others; +- ODA document specific constraints defined in Document Application Profiles (DAPs) which allow to handle different semantic features, such as segments, paragraphs, footnotes, tables of contents, etc.; +- SGML documents, substructured into regions determined by tags; +- any other types of data in a structured form (including proprietary formats and covering the handling of multimedia data). + +The document manipulation environment consists of setting for the capabilities to manipulate a document (e.g. a profile of operations), and for the capabilities necessary to handle documents (e.g. specific profiles, character sets or non-basic characteristics). + +#### 6.1.4.1 Identification of manipulation objects + +DTAM document handling provides the operations to handle a previously identified document for different purposes, like manipulation or partial reading. The operations consist of three subsequently identified groups: + +- one for handling of the complete document; +- one for handling of structured document fragments; +- and one for handling the structured document content information. + +#### 6.1.4.2 Identification of complete documents + +Document identification takes place at the beginning and end of document manipulation. For identification of the relevant document for subsequent manipulation or to save, discard or close a manipulation, the document open, document save, document discard and document close abstract services are offered. A simple list abstract service is provided for application which have no support of the document filing and retrieval capabilities. + +More than one document may be opened at the same time. In this case, each of the operations for manipulation shall identify the document to which they apply. + +Documents that may be identified by the open, save, discard, list or close abstract services are each type of standardized documents or identifiable data. + +Identification mechanisms may be the UPI concept used in DFR, ISO/IEC 10166, among others. + +#### 6.1.4.3 Identification of document fragments + +Document fragments are identified during document manipulation operations. Therefore, the operations that identify the document fragments are the get-, search-, reserve-, unreserve-, create-, delete-, modify-, replace-, move-, macro-call- and point-operations. + +Document fragments of a structured document may be identified by the specific identification mechanism used in the relevant type of structured information, for example using the location model of ODA documents, Recommendation T.413. + +A second method for identification that is distinguished by a separated parameter is the identification of a document fragment via an expression that allow to derive which fragment(s) is (are) be manipulated. + +#### 6.1.4.4 Identification of document contents information + +The contents of documents may be identified by the search operation. The subsequent manipulation of unstructured parts of a document is for further study. + +## 6.2 The DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK combined environment + +For distributed document manipulation, the requirement is identified that an OSI system will often need to be the manipulating client for documents stored in other document servers, as well as being the document server for documents stored in its own OSI system. For this reason it was chosen to define the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK abstract services as a symmetric service, allowing each entity to perform both the client and the server roles. Nevertheless there are dependencies which determine the role (client or server) of an entity for a specific moment. + +The DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK environment comprises one object, the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK client/server. This object is connected to two ports, the DTAM-DM-SYM port and the DTAM-TK port. See Figure 2. + +![Diagram of the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK combined environment showing two client/server objects connected by two ports.](bffdddb47fced140f8d17fdc2a29f592_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK combined environment.

The DTAM-DM-SYM supports the same abstract operations as the DTAM-DM port, however it is a symmetric port. The DTAM-DM-SYM and the DTAM-TK port are defined in the following subclauses. + +#### 6.2.2.1 The DTAM-DM-SYM port + +The DTAM-DM-SYM port enables an DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK client/server to manipulate document fragments on other document stores and to perform manipulation operations on its own document store. + +The DTAM-DM-SYM port is defined as follows: + +``` +dtam-dm-sym-port PORT + ABSTRACT OPERATIONS { + DM-DOCUMENT-OPEN, + DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE, + DM-DOCUMENT-DISCARD, + DM-DOCUMENT-CLOSE, + DM-DOCUMENT-LIST, + DM-GET, + DM-SEARCH, + DM-CREATE, + DM-DELETE, + DM-MODIFY, + DM-COPY, + DM-MOVE, + DM-REPLACE, + DM-RESERVE, + DM-UNRESERVE, + DM-POINT, + DM-MACRO-CALL, + DM-GROUP-BEGIN, + DM-GROUP-END } +::= id-pt-dtam-dm-sym-port +``` + +#### **6.2.2.2 The DTAM-TK port** + +The DTAM-TK port enables the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK client/server to exchange an application token which determines the role of the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK client/server at any time.

The use of an application token is specified in 6.2.3. + +The DTAM-TK port is defined as follows: + +``` +dtam-tk-port PORT + ABSTRACT OPERATIONS { + TK-TOKEN-GIVE, + TK-TOKEN-PLEASE } +::= id-pt-dtam-tk-port +``` + +### **6.2.3 The use of an application token** + +The exchange of an application token between client and server implies that the roles of the application entities in the environment will change. This is illustrated in Figure 3: + +User 1 and user 2 are two application entities which are able to operate as client or as server alternatively. + +In the start configuration it is assumed that user 1 possesses the application token. User 1 operates as client, while user 2 operates as server. When user 1 performs the DTAM-TK abstract service TK-TOKEN-GIVE, the application token is given to user 2. User 1 switches to the “server-state”, while the operation mode of user 2 is changed to “client-state”. + +Using the DTAM-TK abstract service TK-TOKEN-PLEASE, the actual server can request the application token exchange from the client. + +## **6.3 The DTAM-DM/DFR combined environment** + +This subclause provides an abstract functional model of the DTAM-DM/DFR combined environment.

The formal definition of the abstract services is given in Annex B “Formal definition of abstract services”. + +## 7.1 Overview of DTAM-DM abstract services + +This Recommendation defines the following DTAM-DM abstract services: + +- DM-DOCUMENT-OPEN; +- DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE; +- DM-DOCUMENT-DISCARD; +- DM-DOCUMENT-CLOSE; +- DM-DOCUMENT-LIST; +- DM-GET; +- DM-SEARCH; +- DM-CREATE; +- DM-DELETE; +- DM-MODIFY; +- DM-COPY; +- DM-MOVE; +- DM-REPLACE; +- DM-RESERVE; +- DM-UNRESERVE; +- DM-POINT; +- DM-MACRO-CALL; +- DM-GROUP-BEGIN; +- DM-GROUP-END. + +These DTAM-DM abstract services are introduced in the following subclauses. + +### **7.1.1 DM-DOCUMENT-OPEN abstract service** + +The document open abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to select and open documents prior to document manipulations. No inner manipulations can take place on documents which were not opened before. Several documents may be opened at the same time. + +### **7.1.2 DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE abstract service** + +The document save abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to save documents after document manipulations which were done since the use of the last DM-DOCUMENT-OPEN, DM-DOCUMENT-DISCARD or DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE abstract services. + +### **7.1.3 DM-DOCUMENT-DISCARD abstract service** + +The document discard abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to discard document manipulations which were done since the use of the last DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE, DM-DOCUMENT-OPEN or DM-DOCUMENT-DISCARD abstract service. + +### **7.1.4 DM-DOCUMENT-CLOSE abstract service** + +The document close abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to close and derelict documents after document manipulations. All document manipulations which were done since the use of the last DM-DOCUMENT-OPEN, DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE or DM-DOCUMENT-DISCARD abstract service are discarded. To save the document contents before the document will be closed, the DM-DOCUMENT-SAVE abstract service must be used. + +### **7.1.5 DM-DOCUMENT-LIST abstract service** + +The document list abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to request a list of document identifications from the DTAM-DM server that are in-line with the indicated criteria. The use of the document list service is restricted to applications that have limited filing and retrieval capabilities. For applications that support both, filing and retrieval as well as manipulation, the combined usage of DFR and DTAM-DM is recommended. + +### **7.1.6 DM-GET abstract service** + +The get abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to read document fragments. + +### **7.1.7 DM-SEARCH abstract service** + +The search abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to search for specified document fragments. The DTAM-DM client specifies search domains (e.g. to search only in the first chapter) and search criteria. The search abstract service may be used to identify document fragments for invocation of subsequent abstract operations like modify or create, among others. + +### **7.1.8 DM-CREATE abstract service** + +The create abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to add document fragments to an existing document. The create abstract service may carry the document fragment, including the values applicable to the created document fragment. The DTAM-DM client must specify the position of the additional document fragment inside the document. + +### **7.1.9 DM-DELETE abstract service** + +The delete abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to delete document fragments. + +### **7.1.10 DM-MODIFY abstract service** + +The modify abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to modify already existing document fragments. The modify abstract service assigns new values to attributes of the identified document fragment. + +### **7.1.11 DM-COPY abstract service** + +The copy abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to duplicate document fragments to another position of the same or a different document. + +### **7.1.12 DM-MOVE abstract service** + +The move abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to change the position of document fragments inside a document, or from one document to another. + +### **7.1.13 DM-REPLACE abstract service** + +The replace abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to replace document fragments. The replace abstract service effects the deletion of the identified document fragment and the replacement by the new document fragment. + +### **7.1.14 DM-RESERVE abstract service** + +The reserve abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to establish the reservation of the specified document fragment. The reserve abstract operation does not apply to ownership or access rights of document fragments (e.g. the access rights in the document profile of an ODA document). + +### **7.1.15 DM-UNRESERVE abstract service** + +The unreserve abstract service is used by a DTAM-DM client to release a previous reservation of a document fragment done by using the reserve abstract service. + +### **7.1.16 DM-POINT abstract service** + +The point abstract service is used by DTAM-DM clients in multi-user applications like joint-editing or joint-viewing. + +### **7.1.17 DM-MACRO-CALL abstract service** + +This is for further study. + +### **7.1.18 DM-GROUP-BEGIN abstract service** + +The group-begin abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to indicate the start of a set of DTAM-DM abstract services which are to be processed and responded to as a group. + +This is for further study. + +### **7.1.19 DM-GROUP-END abstract service** + +The group-end abstract service is used by the DTAM-DM client to indicate the end of a set of DTAM-DM abstract services which are to be processed and responded to as a group. + +This is for further study. + +## **7.2 Overview of DTAM-TK abstract services** + +This Recommendation defines the following DTAM-TK abstract services: + +- TK-TOKEN-GIVE; +- TK-TOKEN-PLEASE. + +These DTAM-TK abstract services are introduced in the following subclauses. + +### **7.2.1 TK-TOKEN-GIVE abstract service** + +The token-give abstract service surrenders the application token from the current DTAM-TK client to the DTAM-TK server and changes the roles of the application entities in the communication process (from client to server and vice versa). The application token makes use of the ROSE services, Recommendation X.219, and hence has no relationship to communication tokens used in other OSI-layers, for example, the session tokens. + +### **7.2.2 TK-TOKEN-PLEASE abstract service** + +The token-please abstract service is used by the DTAM-TK server to request the application token from a DTAM-TK client, that is, a request changes the role of the application entities in the communication process. + +# 8 Establishment of an application association + +The DTAM-DM and DTAM-TK application service elements are used in conjunction with ACSE services and the formal notation of the abstract bind-operation and the unbind-operation. The specification of the abstract bind and unbind operation is specified in Recommendation X.407. The mapping of the bind-operation and unbind-operation on the ACSE services is described in Recommendation X.219. + +In the following explanations the terms “DTAM-DM client” and “DTAM-DM server” are used which have only a meaning in the DTAM-DM and DTAM-DM/DFR environment. In the DTAM-DM/DTAM-TK environment these terms must be interpreted as “requesting client/server” and “responding client/server” respectively. In the DTAM-DM/DFR environment these terms must be interpreted as “DTAM-DM/DFR client” and “DTAM-DM/DFR server” respectively. + +## 8.1 Abstract-bind and Abstract-unbind Parameters + +### 8.1.1 ABSTRACT-BIND parameters + +The DTAM-DMBind abstract operation binds the DTAM-DM port of the DTAM-DM client (consumer) to the DTAM-DM server (supplier).

considered for the use of the DTAM-DM abstract services: + +### **I.1 DTAM association establishment** + +The DTAM-DM client creates a DTAM association to the DTAM-DM server using the ACSE A-ASSOCIATE service to establish a communication link. During this establishment, the DTAM server exchanges its application capabilities including the manipulation capabilities. These capabilities indicated from the server are interpreted as the server's receiving capabilities, and are not recognized as capability negotiation. + +### **I.2 Document open** + +Before manipulating document fragments of a document, the DTAM-DM client must open the document using the document open abstract service. The DTAM-DM client can open more than one document within a DTAM association. + +### **I.3 Document manipulations** + +The DTAM-DM client can manipulate document fragments of documents which have been opened before using convenient DM-\* abstract services. Furthermore, the DTAM-DM client can manipulate among more than one document, e.g. copying a part of one document into another document. + +### **I.4 Document save** + +After a sequence of document fragment manipulations, the DTAM-DM client can save this document(s) to register the result of this sequence of manipulations. + +### **I.5 Document discard** + +After a sequence of document fragment manipulations, the DTAM-DM client can undo this sequence of manipulations using the document discard service. All manipulations are discarded until the previous document save operation. + +### **I.6 Document close** + +After the manipulation of the document fragments, the DTAM-DM client closes the document. + +### **I.7 DTAM association termination** + +After all the activities for document manipulations, the DTAM-DM client terminates the association using the ACSE A-RELEASE service to close the communication link between the DTAM users. + +Figure I.1 illustrates an example for the use of DTAM-DM abstract services. + +![Sequence diagram showing DTAM-DM client and server interactions.

The DTAM-DM/DFR client makes use of both DTAM-DM and DFR abstract services while the DTAM-DM/DFR server provides both DTAM-DM and DFR abstract services. + +The following procedures are applied to the combined use of DTAM-DM and DFR abstract services: + +### **II.1 DTAM-DM/DFR association establishment** + +The DTAM-DM/DFR client creates a DTAM-DM/DFR association to the DTAM-DM/DFR server by the ACSE A-ASSOCIATE service. Subsets of DTAM-DM and DFR services may be used as agreed during association establishment. During this establishment, the DTAM-DM/DFR client and DTAM-DM/DFR server also have to agree on their application capabilities including manipulation of document fragments. + +### **II.2 Document filing and retrieval (use of DFR abstract services)** + +After DTAM-DM/DFR association establishment the DTAM-DM/DFR client can use any DFR abstract service, for example to browse, retrieve, manage or delete documents in the document store. + +The DTAM-DM/DFR client selects a document using a DFR service and obtains a document identification. Before manipulating the document, the DTAM-DM/DFR client should modify the access rights of the entire document for other DTAM-DM/DFR clients, using the DFR reserve service, in order to prevent other DTAM-DM/DFR clients to access the document. + +### **II.3 Document manipulation (use of DTAM-DM-abstract services)** + +Before manipulating document fragments, the DTAM-DM/DFR client opens the document. The DTAM-DM/DFR client is able to manipulate fragments of more than one document. + +The DTAM-DM/DFR client uses the DTAM-DM abstract services to manipulate the document fragments remotely. For more details about DTAM-DM abstract services, see Appendix I. + +During document manipulation, the DTAM-DM/DFR client can use all convenient DFR abstract services. + +Upon completion of all document manipulation operations, the DTAM-DM/DFR client closes the document and then unreserves the document using the DFR reserve service in order to allow other DTAM-DM/DFR clients to access the document. + +### **II.4 DTAM-DM/DFR association termination** + +After all the activities for document filing, retrieval and manipulation the DTAM-DM/DFR client terminates the DTAM-DM/DFR association using the ACSE A-RELEASE service to close the communication link between the DTAM-DM/DFR client and the DTAM-DM/DFR server. + +Figure II.1 illustrates an example for the combined use of DTAM-DM and DFR abstract services. + +![Sequence diagram showing the combined use of DTAM-DM and DFR abstract services over time.

It defines the protocol of two new applications service elements for interactive confirmed document manipulation, aligned with, and provided for, the integrated use with applications defined under the Distributed Office Application Model (DOAM). The two application service elements are the DTAM-TM and DTAM-TK. The use of the DTAM-DM application service element is mandatory for document manipulation applications and is used in conjunction with the ACSE and ROSE services elements. Optionally, it may be combined with the DFR-SE (for filing and retrieval purposes) and with the DTAM-TK service element for exchange of an application token in multi-user conferences. + +# DOCUMENT TRANSFER AND MANIPULATION (DTAM) – SERVICES AND PROTOCOLS – PROTOCOL SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONFIRMED DOCUMENT MANIPULATION + +(Geneva, 1995) + +# 1 Scope + +Recommendation T.435 defines the abstract services of the application service elements DTAM-DM and DTAM-TK. + +The DTAM-DM abstract services provide facilities to allow remote operations on any kind of documents or document fragments. + +The DTAM-TK application service element provides for the handling of an application token to structure a dialogue, if two or more users are involved in conference type of applications. + +This Recommendation specifies the protocols between DTAM users which apply the DTAM-DM or the DTAM-TK abstract services. + +This Recommendation does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it contain the implementation of entities or interfaces within a telematic system. + +# 2 References + +The following Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

Mixed Raster Content (MRC) imaging format that enables efficient processing, interchange and archiving of raster-oriented pages containing a mixture of multi-level and bi-level images. This efficiency is realized through segmentation of the image into multiple layers (planes), as determined by image type, and applying image specific encoding, spatial and colour resolution processing. + +A rasterized page may contain one or more image types, such as: multi-level continuous-tone or palletized colours (contone) usually associated with naturally occurring images; bi-level detail associated with text and line-art; multi-level colours associated with the text and line-art. This Recommendation makes provisions for processing, interchange, and archiving of these image types in multiple separate layers. Recombining the layers in a prescribed manner regenerates the original image. + +This edition of T.44 integrates Amendment 1 (which added a new Annex B which defines provisions for sharing resources across pages, stripes and layers and provisions for using colour tags as a means of representing text colour, that play an essential role in the application of JBIG2 of ITU-T Rec. T.88) with a number of additional modifications to the main body and its annexes that give the definition of the necessary technical specifications to support YCC colour space (as described in ITU-T Rec. T.42). This will allow the YCC colour space to be deployed using almost the same method as that of the LAB colour space. + +## Source + +ITU-T Recommendation T.44 was approved on 8 January 2005 by ITU-T Study Group 16 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure. + +This text includes the typo correction introduced by Erratum 1 (9 June 2005) + +## FOREWORD + +The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications.

The goal of this MRC Recommendation is to make exchange of raster-oriented mixed content colour documents among users with varied communication systems possible with higher speed, higher image quality and modest computing resources (memory, storage and processing power). + +The dramatic increase in exchange of electronic documents has raised customer expectations and requirements for raster-oriented documents. Colour must be exchanged just as gracefully and efficiently as black & white (bi-level) and quickly reproduce a copy of the original at the best possible image quality for that output device. The following technical relations can be associated with the customer requirements: + +- efficient exchange of the raster data is directly related to the file size and compression ratios; +- image quality in a scan-anywhere, print-anywhere environment is directly related to the exchange of device-independent data forms and the rendering compromises made by the output engine; +- fast printing with modest resources is related to low complexity of the format. + +The best approach to achieve high compression ratios and retain quality is to compress the different segments of the raster data according to their individual attributes. Text and line-art data (bi-level data) would be compressed with an approach that puts high emphasis on maintaining the detail and structure of the input. Pictures and colour gradients (multi-level data) would be compressed using an approach that puts a high emphasis on maintaining the smoothness and accuracy of the colours. These different data types (bi-level and multi-level) are often conceptualized as being on separate layers/planes within the page. + +This separation of the data by importance of content (spatial detail vs colour) also directly implies that it is advantageous to use different resolutions for the different data, with a high spatial resolution used for text/line-art and high colour resolution for images/gradients. + +This concept of data separation by importance of content has led to development of the base mode 3-layer model on which the MRC Recommendation is built. Provisions to extend the model beyond the base mode are defined in Annex A. The base mode 3-layer model identifies three basic data types that may be contained within a page. These are multi-level data associated with contone colour (continuous-tone and/or palletized colour) image for which mid-to-low spatial and high colour resolution is typically appropriate for good reproduction; bi-level data associated with high detail of text/line-art for which high spatial and low colour resolution is typically appropriate for good reproduction; multi-level data associated with multi-level colours of the text/line-art data for which mid-to-high spatial and mid-colour resolution is typically appropriate for good reproduction. Each page within the MRC model is processed independently. The data types within each page are represented in distinct layers (also referred to as planes) to be image processed, compressed and transmitted independently. Multi-level contone data may be represented in the lower layer, bi-level in the middle layer and multi-level data of text/line-art colours in the upper layer. The lower and upper layers will from here on be referenced as the background and foreground layers respectively, see Figure 1. The process of image regeneration is controlled by the middle bi-level layer that acts as a mask or selector to select whether pixels from the background contone layer or foreground text/line-art colour layer will be reproduced. Due to its selection function, this layer is referenced as the mask or selector layer; throughout this Recommendation the middle layer will be referenced as the mask layer. When the value of a mask layer pixel is one (1), the corresponding pixel from the foreground is selected and reproduced. When the value of the mask layer pixel is zero (0), the corresponding pixel from the background is selected and reproduced, see Figure 2. + +Given limited device memory in many facsimile implementations and that mixed content pages often have a mixture of: text/line-art (monochrome or coloured) regions; contone image regions; text/line-art (monochrome or coloured) and contone image regions, there are provisions to subdivide the page into horizontal stripes that span the entire width of the page and isolate individual regions, see Figure 3. Stripes are composed of one or more layers as determined by the image type within the stripe. The mask layer must span the entire width and height of the stripe. The background and foreground layers need not span the width and height of the stripe. Reduction in the amount of white space coded in the background or foreground layers can be realized by taking advantage of the image width and height data included in the layer data stream and a horizontal and vertical offset provision. The default of the foreground base colour is black (layer base colour can be changed to any colour). The base colour is defined such that at mask pixel locations (value = 1) where + +a corresponding foreground pixel is not present, the foreground layer base colour is applied. The default of the background base colour is white (layer base colour can be changed to any colour). The base colour is defined such that at mask pixel locations (value = 0) where a corresponding contone image is not present, the background layer base colour is applied, see Figure 4. + +The 3-layer model has 3 types of horizontal stripes that are implemented according to the type of data being addressed: + +- 3-layer stripe (3LS), so referenced since it contains all three of the foreground, mask and background layers as in Figure 1. The 3LS is appropriate when addressing an image that contains both multi-coloured text/line-art and contone image or monochrome text/line-art on coloured background and contone image, as in stripes 3 and 5 of Figures 3 and 8; +- 2-layer stripe (2LS), so referenced since it contains coded data for two of the three layers (the third is set to a fixed value). The two layers may be mask and background, as in Figure 6a, or mask and foreground layers, as in Figure 6b. All combination of multiple layers shall include the mask layer. The 2LS is appropriate when addressing an image that contains monochrome text/line-art and contone image or coloured text/line-art and no contone image, as in stripes 2 and 7 of Figures 3 and 8; +- 1-layer stripe (1LS), so referenced since it contains coded data for only one of the three layers (the other two are set to fixed values). The one layer may be mask, as in Figure 7a, background, as in Figure 7b, or foreground, as in Figure 7c. The 1LS is appropriate when addressing an image that contains one of monochrome text/line-art, contone image or possibly richly coloured graphics, as in stripes 1, 4 and 6 of Figures 3 and 8. + +Figure 8 provides an illustration of the various stripe types that may apply to the various image regions within a page. + +The 3-layer model requires application of a multi-level coding scheme to the background and foreground layers. Any ITU-T multi-level coding (such as JPEG or JBIG, as defined in ITU-T Recs T.81 and T.43, respectively) may be used for the background or foreground. A bi-level coding scheme is required for the mask layer, any ITU-T bi-level coding (such as JBIG or MMR, as defined in ITU-T Recs T.85 and T.6, respectively) may be used, see Figure 5. The specific coders used throughout the page and over the various layers are identified at the start of each page. This information is provided by parameters in a Start of Page (SOP) Marker Segment. The spatial resolution of the mask layer, to be used throughout the page, is also identified by a SOP parameter. Layers with varied spatial resolutions may be combined within a stripe, the resolution of the foreground and background layers must be integral factors of the mask resolution layer, see Figure 5. The specific resolutions being used in the foreground and background layers are identified within a marker segment at the start of each layer within a stripe. A Start of Stripe marker segment contains parameters indicating type of stripe (1LS, 2LS or 3LS), the foreground and background layer base colour, offset of the foreground and/or background, the stripe height (number of lines) and the mask layer coded data length (number of octets). + +An SOP marker segment denotes the beginning of an MRC page. This is followed by page data and terminated with a EOP (End of Page). The page data consists of stripes. During transmission, stripes are sent sequentially from the top of the page, stripe 1 through N, where N is an integer. Within a stripe, the mask layer is transmitted first, followed by the background and then the foreground as appropriate. + + + +## Recommendation T.44 + +## Mixed Raster Content (MRC) + +# 1 Scope + +This Recommendation defines a means to efficiently represent raster-oriented pages that contain a mixture of multi-level and bi-level images. Any of the many ITU-T recommended encoding schemes, such as T.81 (JPEG) for the encoding of multi-level images and T.6 (MMR) for the encoding of bi-level images, may be combined within the context of this Recommendation. Similarly, ITU-T spatial and colour resolutions may be combined within a page. This Recommendation does not define new encodings or resolutions. The method of image segmentation is beyond the scope of this Recommendation; segmentation is left to manufacturers' implementation. + +# 2 References + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

A corresponding image layer pixel above the mask layer is selected for reproduction when a mask layer pixel value is "1". A corresponding pixel from the image or collection of images below the mask is selected when a mask pixel value is "0". + +The first mask layer (layer 2) may be distinguished as the main mask.

T.81 apply to this Recommendation. + +# 5 Image representation + +This Recommendation includes description of syntax for encapsulating one or more ITU-T encodings on a single page. + +A page is composed from a set of page-wide stripes of image data, which are coded independently. The stripes are transmitted sequentially from the top to the bottom of the page. + +In the base mode, stripes are composed of one to three (3) layers. Each layer is coded using a recommended ITU-T coding method. The base mode is mandatory and must be supported by all future modes. All future modes should support all previously defined modes unless specified otherwise. + +Information required to decode the page, such as coding types used within the layers, is specified within the page header (start of page marker segment). Stripe height is specified within the stripe header (start of stripe marker segment). + +Information required to decode a layer is included in the stripe header and the layer data. + +In the base mode, the mask layer is transmitted first, followed by the background layer and then the foreground layer. + +Details of the syntax are described below. + +# 6 Stripe structure + +In the base mode, stripes are composed of one to three layers; background layer, mask layer and foreground layer. Annex A makes provision for stripes to be composed of more than three layers. One or more layers may be assigned a fixed value (e.g., fixed colour value). Virtual mask layers and fixed value layers are not counted in classifying the stripe types as follows: + +- Three-layer stripe: (3LS) +- Two-layer stripe: (2LS) +- One-layer stripe: (1LS) + +## 6.1 Three-layer stripe (3LS) + +3LS is the basic structure of this Recommendation. The 3LS contains foreground, mask and background layers, see Figure 1 and stripes 3 and 5 of Figure 8. It provides a means to transfer two images and a bi-level mask layer describing their recombination on the same page. This capability enables representation of richly coloured text, graphics, and line-art together with contone imagery in the same region using only multi-level and bi-level coding methods. It also enables representation of monochrome or coloured text, graphics, and line-art that resides on a coloured background together with contone image in the same region. The + +text/line-art colour is placed in the foreground layer and the contone image in the background layer. The bi-level mask plane is used to select which of the images is expressed at every pixel location within the stripe. It may contain the high detail text shape or rectangular outlines of text and contone image areas. + +## **6.2 Two-layer stripe (2LS)** + +2LS is one of the special cases of the 3LS, in which one of the foreground or background layers is assigned a fixed colour value. The mask layer is mandatory in the 2LS stripe. The 2LS contains mask and background or mask and foreground layers. For the case of mask and background, the foreground is set to a layer base colour value (e.g., black), see Figure 6a and stripe 2 of Figure 8. It provides a means to transfer a continuous-tone image, a layer base colour value and a bi-level mask layer describing their recombination on the same page. This capability enables representation of monochrome text, graphics, and line-art together with contone imagery in the same region using only multi-level and bi-level coding methods. The monochrome text/line-art may overlay the coloured image. The text/line-art colour is represented by the fixed foreground value while the contone image is in the background layer. The bi-level mask plane is used to select which of the foreground layer base colour or the background images is expressed at every pixel location within the stripe. The mask contains the high detail shape of text, graphics or line-art. For the case of mask and foreground, the background is set to a layer base colour value (e.g., white), see Figure 6b and stripe 7 of Figure 8. It provides a means to transfer a colour foreground image, a background layer base colour value and a bi-level mask layer describing their recombination on the same page. This capability enables representation of coloured text, graphics, and line-art without contone imagery in the same region using multi-level and bi-level coding methods. The bi-level mask plane is used to select which of the foreground or the background images is expressed at every pixel location within the stripe. + +## **6.3 One-layer stripe (1LS)** + +1LS is one of the special cases of the 3LS, in which two of the three layers are assigned a fixed value (e.g., fixed colour value in the case of fixed foreground or background layer). The 1LS contains a single coded layer. If the layer is coded using a bi-level coding method, the fixed foreground and background base layer colour values, defined within the stripe, are applied; a bi-level image is treated as a mask layer, see Figure 7a and stripe 1 of Figure 8. A page containing a single bi-level 1LS, where the foreground and background colours are the values of black and white respectively, is similar to a conventional bi-level facsimile page, see Figure 7a. There are two cases if the coding method is multi-level. Case 1: the mask is fixed to "0" (foreground colour is not applied) and the background layer base colour (e.g., white) is applied outside the area coded, see Figure 7b and stripes 4 and 6 of Figure 8. Case 2: the mask is fixed to "1" (background colour is not applied) and the foreground layer base colour (e.g., white in this case) is applied outside the area coded, see Figure 7c. To represent dimensions of pages that contain only case 1 or 2 stripe(s), where there is no coded mask data, a virtual mask layer should be assumed. The resolution of the virtual mask is fixed to that of the foreground or background layer while the dimensions of the virtual mask are fixed to the page dimensions, such as page width and height (number of scan lines). The width of the stripe is fixed to the page width. It is possible in cases 1 and 2 that the foreground or background layers may contain a fixed colour value (e.g., a layer base colour value); in effect there is no encoded colour data. + +The 1LS is applied to areas containing only monochrome text, graphics (e.g., business graphics)/line-art, or continuous-tone image data. + +# **7 Image coding** + +## **7.1 Spatial resolution** + +The resolution of the main mask layer is fixed for the entire page and defines the maximum resolution for the page. In general it is possible to define foreground and background layers of lower spatial resolution. Spatial resolution of all layers must be integral factors of the main mask layer resolution.

| + +Cartoon of five people on a sinking island Cartoon of a sinking island with sharks + +T0828650-99/d11 + +Figure 8/T.44 + +## 7.2 Stripe width and layer width + +Stripes always span the entire width of a page. The main mask layer must always span the entire width. + +This method takes advantage of the image width and height data included in the layer data stream, such as JPEG. A foreground and/or background layer (e.g., JPEG data) is not required to span the entire width. All layers must be fully contained within the boundaries of the stripe. In addition, a horizontal offset may be used to select a starting point to the right of the left stripe boundary. This offset is expressed in the main mask layer pixel units. A simple stripe containing only background (e.g., JPEG data) or foreground (e.g., T.43 JBIG data) image data may use this feature also. + +## 7.3 Stripe height and layer height + +To limit the data that must be buffered by an application, some applications may choose to limit the maximum height of two or more layer stripes (2LS & 3LS) to a specified number of lines (in mask layer resolution). + +One-layer stripes (1LS) are not required to conform to a maximum stripe height, and are only limited by page size. Layers without coded data (i.e., virtual mask layers and image layers with only base layer colour) are not to be counted when considering whether a stripe is a 1LS, 2LS or 3LS stripe. + +Stripe and main mask layer heights are always equal. Foreground and background layer heights are less than or equal to stripe heights. All layers must be fully contained within the boundaries of the stripe. In addition, a vertical offset may be used to select a starting point below the first scan line of the stripe. This offset is expressed relative to the first scan line at the top of the stripe and in the main mask pixel units. A simple stripe containing only background (e.g., JPEG) or foreground (e.g., JBIG) data may use this feature also. + +## 7.4 Layer combination + +Image layers are rendered sequentially in ascending order of layer number (i.e., layer 1 then 3). The background layer (i.e., layer 1), if present, shall be rendered first. Bi-level mask layers (even-numbered layers, such as layer 2) select pixels from their corresponding image layer (odd-numbered layer directly above the mask layer, such as layer 3) for rendering. A corresponding image layer pixel (directly above the mask layer pixel), or its layer base colour value, is selected when a mask pixel value is "1". The selected image layer pixel is rendered on top of any layer that may have been previously rendered. A corresponding image layer pixel shall not be rendered when the mask pixel value is "0". The pixel from the layer below the mask, or its layer base colour value, shall remain visible when the mask pixel value is "0". In the event of an image layer (i.e., layer 3), or portion thereof, without a corresponding mask layer, the image layer shall be rendered on top of any previously rendered layer. + +# 8 Layer transmission order + +In 3LS, the bi-level mask data is transmitted first, followed by the background layer and then the foreground layer. In 2LS, the bi-level mask image data is transmitted first, followed by the background or foreground layer. + +# 9 Data format + +## 9.1 Overview + +The MRC image data consist of a series of: markers; parameter data that specify the image coder, image size, bit-resolution and spatial resolution; image data. The conventions of Annex B/T.81 are used broadly here. The JPEG registration body, per ITU-T Rec. T.86, has been used to register the marker code, APP13, classified as an application marker. + +The MRC page structure for this application has the following elements: parameters, markers, and entropy-coded data segments. Parameters and markers are often organized into marker segments. Parameters are integers of length $\frac{1}{2}$ , 1, 2 or more octets. Markers are assigned two or more octet codes, an X'FF' octet followed by an octet not equal to X'00' or X'FF' and optionally preceded by extra X'FF' octet codes. This base mode application defines marker segments to denote the Start of Page (SOP), optional marker segments and the Start of Stripe (SOS). The MRC Magic Number (JPEG SOI) is used immediately preceding the application marker as part of the SOP marker segment. The JPEG EOI is used as a termination number located directly after the last SOP parameter. The end of a page (EOP) is defined as X'FFD9FFD9'. These markers are inserted by the encoder, and understood by the decoder in addition to all markers used for the coding methods, such as SOS (start of scan) of ITU-T Rec. T.81. + +A distillation of the bit and byte ordering conventions of Annex B/T.81 that are applied throughout this Recommendation follows: + +Bits are packed into octets starting at the most significant bit. If a decoder is reading a sequence of bits from a bit-stream, it shall first read the most significant bit of the first octet, the next most significant bit, and so on, then proceed to the next octet. + +All multi-octet values shall be interpreted in a most-significant-first manner: the first octet of each value is most significant, and the last octet is the least significant. + +## 9.2 Page data structure + +The beginning of a MRC page is denoted by the Start of Page Marker Segment, followed by termination number, optional marker segments, page data and EOP. The optional marker segments are optional, unless otherwise stated. Their purpose is to provide insight into reproduction of the image and as such are typically not mandatory for image reproduction. Skipping of any unrecognized optional marker segment is appropriate. Page data consists of stripes 1 to N, as described in 9.2.1. + +Marker segments defined in this Recommendation and located between the Start of Page Marker Segment (SOP) and EOP marker shall have the following structure, which is consistent with that of the SOP: + +APP13 (X'FFED'), Length of segment, identifier, Optional length (if needed), parameters and/or segment data; + +where the Optional length is included when two octets are insufficient to represent the Length of segment and four octets are needed. + +In typical use, the 2-octet Length of segment should be sufficient to represent the length of the marker segment header and data, not including the 2-octet APP13 (X'FFED') marker itself; in which case the Optional length will be omitted. In cases where two octets are insufficient, the 2-octet Length of segment will take on a value of zero (0), and the Optional length will be used. If the 2-octet Length of segment is any value less than six (which is the clear minimal size of a marker segment for both the 2-octet length and the 4-octet identifier), then the Optional length is required. Values between one and five are reserved for future use. + +All APP13 (X'FFED') markers currently adhere to this rule with the exception of EOH, which does not include the data length in the Length of segment, but includes that length separately as the only parameter in the marker segment header. + +### 9.2.1 Start of page marker segment + +Start of Page Marker Segment has the following structure: + +MRC Magic Number, APP13, Length of segment, SOP ident, version, mask coder, image layer coders, mask resolution, width. + +The Start of Page Marker Segment is defined as follows: + +| | | | +|-----------------------|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| MRC Magic number: | 2 octets | X'FFD8' | +| APP13 Marker: | 2 octets | X'FFED' | +| Length of Segment: | 2 octets | Length of segment in octets, MSB to LSB, as an integer value including the octet count itself but not including Magic Numbers or APP13. | +| SOP Ident: | 4 octets | 'MRC0', represented as a 3-octet ASCII string plus an hexadecimal count (i.e., X'4D', X'52', X'43', X'00'). This X'00'-terminated string "MRC" uniquely identifies this marker segment as the start of page. | +| Version: | 1 octet | Revision number, X'02' indicating revision "2". | +| Mode: | 1 octet | X'01', indicating mode 1.0. Each mode identifies a different level of performance. Mode 1.0 identifies the base level of T.44 as defined by the contents of this Recommendation. Each incremental mode shall be defined in an Annex to this Recommendation and support the capabilities defined in this mode. | +| Mask layer coders: | 1 or more octet(s) | With value indicating coder as shown in Table 1. The identified coders may be used in any mask layer. The main mask layer is the only mask (even-numbered) layer permitted in this mode (Mode 1.0) and only one coder may be selected. Only one coder shall be used for the main mask (layer 2). The value shall be fixed to zero "0" in the event that there is no mask layer coder (i.e., no coded mask layer data present). | +| Image layer coders: | 1 or more octet(s) | With value indicating coders as shown in Table 2. The identified coders may be used in any image layer. Background and foreground are the only image (odd-numbered) layers permitted in Mode 1.0. Any one of the selected coder(s) may be used in an image layer. The value shall be fixed to zero "0" in the event that there is no image layer coder. | +| Main Mask resolution: | 2 octets | Expressing vertical and horizontal resolution as a single integer value in units of pels/25.4 mm. Basic value is 200 pels/25.4 mm. The value shall be fixed to that of the image layer in the event that there is no coded mask data (layer) in the page. | + +Page width: 4 octets Expressing page width as a single integer value. For pages with two or more layers, the main mask layer image width defines the page width in using units of the main mask resolution. For pages with only a single layer foreground or background image, no coded mask data, a virtual mask (i.e., a mask layer without coded data) shall be used to define the page width. + +**Table 1/T.44 – Mask (even-numbered layer) coder octet(s)** + +| Octet bit number | Coder used | +|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------| +| LSB 0 | One-dimensional T.4 (MH) coding | +| 1 | Two-dimensional T.4 (MR) coding | +| 2 | T.6 (MMR) coding | +| 3 | T.82 (JBIG1) coding applying ITU-T Rec.

Conversely, if any of bits 3, 4 or 5 is set, bits 0, 1 and 2 shall not be set. | | + +### 9.2.2 Optional marker segments + +The optional marker segments are optional, unless otherwise stated. Their purpose is to provide insight into reproduction of the image and as such are typically not mandatory for image reproduction. Skipping of any unrecognized optional marker segment is appropriate. + +Optional marker segments (OMSx) consist of marker and associated parameters. The APP13 (X'FFED') marker initiates identification of the entry. Each optional marker segment is identified by the 3-octet ASCII string plus a hexadecimal count for 'MRCn'. The 'MRCn' identifier is a 4-octet value X'4D', X'52', X'43', X'n', where n may equal X'0A' (10) to a maximum of X'FE' (254). The optional marker segments are located after the Termination Number (TN). + +Each optional marker segment (OMSx) has the following structure: APP13 Marker (X'FFED'), Length of entry, OMSx ident (MRCn), Optional length (if needed), entry parameters and/or entry data. + +OMSx represents specific optional marker segments, where "x" is the value of a character used to distinguish each optional marker segment. + +#### 9.2.2.1 Layer base colour gamut range marker segment (OMSgl), MRC10 entry + +This entry specifies the gamut range information of LAB for indicating image layer (i.e., odd-numbered layers such as background and/or foreground layers) base colour. Structure of the OMSgl marker segment entry is as follows: + +APP13, length, OMSgl identifier, gamut range data for LAB. + +The OMSgl marker segment is defined as follows: + +| | | | +|-------------------------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| APP13 marker: | 2 octets | X'FFED' | +| Length: | 2 octets | Total entry field octet count, MSB to LSB, including the octet count itself, but excluding the APP13 marker. | +| OMS gl identifier: | 4 octets | 'MRC10', represented as a 3-octet ASCII string plus an hexadecimal count (i.e., X'4D', X'52', X'43', X'0A'). This X'0A'-terminated string "MRC" uniquely identifies this entry marker as containing MRC information about optional gamut range data for LAB used to represent the layer base colour of the image layer in all stripes of the page. | +| Gamut range data: | 12 octets |

The data field contains six two-octet signed integers. For example, the two-octet signed integer X'0064' represents 100.

The example gamut range L^* = [0, 100], a^* = [-85, 85], and b^* = [-75, 125] would be represented by the code:

X'0000', X'0064', X'0080', X'00AA', X'0060', X'00C8'

| + +The calculation from a real value $L^*$ to an eight-bit value, $L$ , is made as follows: + +$$L = (255/Q) \times L^* + P$$ + +where the first integer of the first pair, $P$ , contains the offset of the zero point in $L^*$ in the eight most significant bits. The second integer of the first pair, $Q$ , contains the span of the gamut range in $L^*$ . Rounding to the nearest integer is performed. The second pair contains offset and range values for $a^*$ . The third pair contains offset and range values for $b^*$ . If the image is gray-scale ( $L^*$ only), the field still contains six integers, but the last four integers are ignored. + +NOTE – This description of gamut range is similar to APP1 (G3FAX1) defined in Annex E/T.4, except that 12-bit numbers are not defined. + +#### 9.2.2.2 Layer base colour illuminant marker segment (OMSi), MRC11 entry + +This entry specifies the illuminant information for indicating image layer (i.e., odd-numbered layers such as background and/or foreground layers) base colour. Structure of OMSi entry is as follows: + +APP13, length, OMSi ident, illuminant data. + +This option is for further study with the exception of the default case; the specification of the default illuminant, CIE Illuminant D50 for LAB colour space, may be added for information. + +For YCC colour space, D65 is the default illuminant, and the optional illuminant is not permitted.

This category of marker segments provides information that is specific to the encoding/decoding of the image. These marker segments are not always present since they are encoder dependent. When present, parsing of the EMSe is required for proper decoding of the layer data stream for which they are defined, unless otherwise stated. + +**A.3.2 End of header marker segment (EOH):** Encoded as APP13 (X'FFED'), length of segment, EOH ident (MRC255), parameters. + +**A.3.3 Start of layer coded marker segment (SLC):** Encoded as APP13 (X'FFED'), length of segment, SLC ident (MRC2), parameters. + +## A.4 Conventions + +See the main body of this Recommendation. + +## A.5 Image representation + +This annex includes description of syntax for encapsulating two or more ITU-T encodings on a single page. The base mode is mandatory and shall be supported by this mode. + +A page is composed from a set of page-wide stripes of image data. The stripes are transmitted sequentially from the top to the bottom of the page. + +The stripes are composed of one or more layers. Each layer is coded using a recommended ITU-T coding method. + +Information required to decode the page, such as coding types used within the layers, is specified within the page header (start of page marker segment). Stripe height is specified within the stripe header (start of stripe marker segment). + +Information required to decode a layer is included in the stripe header and the layer data. + +The main mask layer is transmitted first, followed by the background layer, followed by the foreground layer, and then any subsequent layer in increasing numeric order. + +Details of the syntax are described below. + +## **A.6 Stripe structure** + +Stripes are composed of one or more layers; background layer (layer 1), main mask layer (layer 2) foreground layer (layer 3), a series of overlay mask layers (even-numbered layers 4, 6, 8, ...) and image layers (odd-numbered layers 5, 7, ...). One or more images may be assigned a fixed colour value, while mask layers may be assigned a fixed bit value (i.e., 0, selecting the background or 1, selecting the foreground layer). Virtual mask layers and fixed value layers are not counted in classifying the stripe types as follows: + +N layer stripe (NLS) + +: +: + +Three-layer stripe (3LS) + +Two-layer stripe (LS) + +One-layer stripe (1LS) + +### **A.6.1 Three-layer stripe (3LS)** + +See the main body of this Recommendation. + +### **A.6.2 Two-layer stripe (2LS)** + +See the main body of this Recommendation. + +### **A.6.3 One-layer stripe (1LS)** + +See the main body of this Recommendation. + +### **A.6.4 N-layer stripe (NLS)** + +N-layer stripes (NLS), where N is an integer, are an extension to the basic structure of ITU-T Rec. T.44, as defined in this annex. The NLS contains more than three (3) layers; see Figure A.1. It provides a means to transfer one or more multi-level image layers (background, foreground, layer 5, layer 7, ...) and one or more bi-level mask layers (layers 2, 4, 6, ...) that define layer recombination on the same page. Beyond layer 1 (background), the layers occur in pairs, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, etc. The main mask layer (layer 2) must span the full dimension of the stripe while other layers (i.e., layer 1, 3, 4, 5, ...) may have an offset and dimensions that are less than those of the stripe. The offset and dimensions of the masks need not be the same as those of the corresponding image layers, see Figure A.1. This capability enables representation of richly coloured text, graphics, and line-art together with contone image using a combination of multi-level and bi-level coding methods. + +## **A.7 Image coding** + +### **A.7.1 Spatial resolution** + +The resolution of the main mask layer is fixed for the entire page and defines the maximum resolution for the page. In general it is possible to define lower spatial resolution for other layers. Spatial resolution of all layers must be integral factors of the main mask resolution. All resolutions used must be square (i.e., same horizontal and vertical values) and conform to ITU-T recommended values. The main mask resolution is specified in the page header. The resolution of other layers is specified in the stripe data stream. + +![Diagram illustrating the structure of an N-layer stripe. It shows a stack of layers labeled Layer 1 through Layer 7.

The main mask layer must always span the entire width. + +This method takes advantage of the image width and height data included in the layer data stream. Layers other than the main mask are not required to span the entire width. All layers must be fully contained within the boundaries of the stripe. The width value of the mask layers (even-numbered layers) and the width value of the corresponding image layers (odd-numbered layers) are independent. In addition, for layers other than the main mask layer, a horizontal offset may be used to select a starting point to the right of the left stripe boundary. The offset value of the mask layers (even-numbered layers) and the offset value of the corresponding image layers (odd-numbered layers) are independent. This offset is expressed in the main mask pixel units in the layer data. A simple stripe containing only background (e.g., JPEG data) or foreground (e.g., T.43 JBIG data) image data may use this feature also. + +### A.7.3 Stripe height and layer height + +To limit the data that must be buffered by an application, some applications may choose to limit the maximum height of two or more layer stripes (2LS to NLS) to a specified number of lines (in main mask layer resolution). + +One-layer stripes (1LS) are not required to conform to a maximum stripe height, and are only limited by page size. Layers without coded data (i.e., virtual mask layers and image layers with only base layer colour) are not to be counted when considering whether a stripe is a 1LS, 2LS, 3LS or NLS stripe. + +Stripe height and main mask layer height are always equal. Heights of layers, other than the main mask, are less than or equal to stripe heights. All layers must be fully contained within the boundaries of the stripe. The height value of the mask layers (even-numbered layers) and the height value of the corresponding image layers (odd-numbered layers) are independent. In addition, for layers other than the main mask layer, a vertical offset may be used to select a starting point below the first scan line of the stripe. The offset value of the mask layers (even-numbered layers) and the offset value of the corresponding image layers (odd-numbered layers) are independent. This offset is expressed relative to the first scan line at the top of the stripe and in the main mask pixel units. A simple stripe containing only background (e.g., JPEG) or foreground (e.g., T.43 JBIG) data may use this feature also. + +### A.7.4 Layer combination + +Image layers are rendered sequentially in ascending order of layer number (i.e., layer 1, then 3, then 5, ... then N). The background layer (i.e., layer 1), if present, shall be rendered first. Bi-level mask layers (even-numbered layers, such as layer 2) select pixels from their corresponding image layer (odd-numbered layer directly above the mask layer, such as layer 3) for rendering. A corresponding image layer pixel (directly above the mask layer pixel), or its layer base colour value, is selected when a mask pixel value is "1". The selected image layer pixel is rendered on top of any layer or layers that may have been previously rendered. A corresponding image layer pixel shall not be rendered when the mask pixel value is "0". The pixel from the layer or layer combination below the mask, or its layer base colour value, shall remain visible when the mask pixel value is "0". In the event of an image layer, or portion thereof, without a corresponding mask layer, the image layer shall be rendered on top of any previously rendered layers. + +## A.8 Layer transmission order + +In NLS, the bi-level main mask data is transmitted first, followed by the background (layer 1), foreground (layer 3), layer 4, layer 5, ..., layer N. In NLS without a background layer, the bi-level main mask image data is transmitted first, followed by the foreground layer, layer 4, layer 5, ..., layer N. + +## A.9 Data format + +### A.9.1 Overview + +The MRC image data consist of a series of: markers; parameters; data that specify the image coder, image size, bit resolution and spatial resolution; coded image data. The conventions of Annex B/T.81 are used broadly here. The JPEG registration body, per ITU-T Rec. T.86, has been used to register the marker code, APP13, classified as an application marker. + +~~Markers and/or marker segments used in association with the coding methods (i.e., encoder marker and/or marker segments) may be defined outside of this Recommendation (i.e., foreign encoder markers and/or marker segments). Foreign encoder markers and/or marker segments may be located within or outside of the data stream. A foreign encoder marker located outside the data stream shall be of the APPn form (i.e., an X'FF' octet followed by an octet not equal to X'00' or X'FF' and optionally preceded by extra X'FF' octet codes). Structure of a foreign encoder marker segment located outside the data stream shall be as follows:~~ + +~~APPn, Length of segment, identifier, parameter and/or data.~~ + +The MRC page structure for this application has the following elements: Parameters, markers, and entropy-coded data segments. Parameters and markers are often organized into marker segments. Parameters are integers of length ½, 1, 2 or more octets. Markers are assigned two or more octet codes, an X'FF' octet followed by an octet not equal to X'00' or X'FF' and optionally preceded by extra X'FF' octet codes. This application defines marker segments to denote the start of page (SOP), optional marker segments, the start of a stripe (SOSst), the start of layer coded data (SLC), encoder marker segments and end of header (EOH). The MRC Magic Number (JPEG SOI) is used immediately preceding the application marker as part of the SOP marker segment. The JPEG EOI is used as a termination number located directly after the last SOP parameter. The end of a page (EOP) is defined as X'FFD9FFD9'. These markers are inserted by the encoder, and understood by the decoder in addition to all markers used for the coding methods such as the SOI of ITU-T Rec. T.81. + +Markers and/or marker segments used in association with the coding methods (i.e., encoder marker and/or marker segments) may be defined outside of this Recommendation (i.e., foreign encoder markers and/or marker segments).

This is giving rise to a new wave of compression methods that have explicit models of some types of data. MPEG4 includes support for describing objects moving over a static background, something that is seen in video images of the world. ITU-T Rec. T.88 | ISO/IEC 14492 (JBIG2) represents scanned bi-level data by segmenting it into text, halftone, and other regions, and then using separate specialized compression methods to store these regions. The text regions are compressed by extracting symbols (individual text characters), and forming symbol dictionaries. The same symbol shapes (each one representing a text character from a certain font in a certain size) are used across multiple text regions and pages, to improve compression. Halftone regions are similarly represented using dictionaries of halftone patterns. + +Using these dictionaries, JBIG2 can achieve a large increase in compression relative to other bi-level image compression methods: 3-5 times greater compression than T.82 (JBIG1) or T.6 (MMR) is typical, and factors of over 20 times better compression than MMR have been observed. + +Of course, in order to achieve these large compression factors, each piece of data must be used to the maximum possible extent. This means that a single symbol dictionary must be used by multiple pages wherever possible, which necessarily has consequences for any system using JBIG2, as most systems have considered pages to be completely independent entities. + +An imaging model using JBIG2, such as MRC, should incorporate provisions for the use of shared data. This entails: having some way to define a shared resource, to be used by multiple coded entities (pages, stripes or layers); referring to that shared resource at the point where it is to be used; and later instructing the decoder that the resource is no longer required and may be flushed from memory. The shared data marker segment (SDM), introduced in this annex, is intended to provide this functionality. + +It should be noted that SDM is not restricted to JBIG2; its structure is flexible and could be used for other coding methods. For example, a set of JPEG Huffman tables could be stored in a shared resource and then used by multiple JPEG-coded layers, reducing file size. Similarly, a palette table could be defined once, then used by multiple T.43-coded layers. + +Another opportunity that is afforded by JBIG2 is improved compression of the foreground layer for documents containing coloured text. In most cases, if a document contains text, each individual text character is a single, flat, colour (e.g., black or red), and the number of such colours is limited. The foreground layer in this case looks like a number of coloured blobs, one for each character, each one having the shape of the corresponding character. + +This foreground layer can be compressed using a new method that takes advantage of the JBIG2 structure. If the mask layer is compressed using JBIG2 symbols and/or halftone regions, then decoding it essentially yields a sequence of (XPosition, YPosition, Symbol ID) triples. Each triple indicates that the symbol (from some dictionary) specified by "Symbol ID" should be drawn at the location "(X, Y)". Simply augmenting a text region triple with a fourth component, the colour of that individual character (sometimes called the symbols "colour tag"), allows storage of the foreground layer in a very small amount of space: using run-length coding on those colours. The total space taken by the foreground layer can be as small as a few tens of bytes. + +For example, if the mask layer contained two characters, an "R" in red and a "B" in blue, then the mask layer would decompress to: + +(100, 0, "R") + +(120, 0, "B") + +and the foreground layer would decompress to: + +(#7AD29C) [corresponding to CIELAB (48.0, 65.5, 48.0) using default gamut range] + +(#3A9B1D) [corresponding to CIELAB (23.1, 20.4, -52.1) using default gamut range] + +or some other suitable representation of the colours, such as indexes into a palette. Matching up the "R" symbol with the colour #7AD29C and drawing the symbol's shape in red gives the correct result. This is a single drawing operation, and is extremely efficient. + +Storing the foreground layer in this manner, using colour tags, allows very compact representation, and efficient decoding. However, since the mask layer is transmitted before the foreground layer, the decoder needs to be warned that the upcoming foreground layer is simply a list of colours (one per JBIG2 symbol in the mask layer), not a complete image. For this reason, we need to put a flag in the mask layer that warns the decoder "foreground is compressed using colour tags". The decoder can then defer drawing the mask until the foreground layer has also been decoded. + +## **B.1 Scope** + +This annex defines Mode 4 to ITU-T Rec. T.44, extending the MRC model to accommodate shared data and provisions for colour tags. The provisions of Mode 4 shall use the Mode 3 structure for implementation. Applications implementing Mode 4 shall support Modes 1, 2 and 3. + +## **B.2 References** + +The references of the main body of this Recommendation apply, plus the following. + +- ITU-T Recommendation T.45 (2000), *Run-length colour encoding*. +- ITU-T Recommendation T.88 (2000) | ISO/IEC 14492:2001, *Information technology – Lossy/lossless coding of bi-level images*.

The same symbol shapes (each one representing a text character from a certain font in a certain size) are used across multiple text regions and pages, to improve compression. Halftone regions are similarly represented using dictionaries of halftone patterns. The symbol dictionaries that are used over multiple regions and pages are referenced as shared data or shared resources. Using a single symbol dictionary over multiple pages, wherever possible, maximizes compression. The practice of using data over multiple pages contrasts with that of most systems where pages are considered to be completely independent entities. + +MRC makes provision for shared resources by introducing three new functions: + +- 1) The "create" function is used to establish a set of shared data. For future access, an ID (identification number) is assigned to the shared data when it is created/defined. + +There are four flags assigned to the "create" function to indicate the scope of application of the shared data: + +- a) The "global" flag is used to indicate that the shared data is available for application over the entire document, across multiple pages. +- b) The "page" flag is used to indicate that the shared data is available for application over the rest of the current page, across multiple stripes. +- c) The "stripe" flag is used to indicate that the shared data is available for application over the rest of the current stripe, across multiple layers. +- d) The "layer" flag is used to indicate that the shared data is available for application over the current layer. + +The scope flags are intended to reduce the need for the "forget" function, see item 2 below. A scope of "global" implies that the shared data are to be retained until the end of the document data stream, or until a "forget" or "use/forget" function indicates that they may be discarded, whichever comes first. A scope of "page" implies that the shared data can be discarded once the next EOP is encountered, or a "forget" or "use/forget" function combination indicates that they may be discarded, whichever comes first. A scope of + +"stripe" implies that the shared data can be discarded once the next SOST is encountered, or a "forget" or "use/forget" function indicates that they may be discarded, whichever comes first. A scope of "layer" implies that the shared data can be discarded once the next SLC is encountered, or a "forget" or "use/forget" function combination indicates that they may be discarded, whichever comes first. + +- 2) The "forget" function is used to instruct the decoder that the identified share data is no longer required and may be flushed from memory. The "forget" function may be applied to one or more sets of shared data at a time by referencing one or more shared data ID. +- 3) The "use" function is used to instruct the decoder to implement the identified share data in its decode operation. The "use" function may be applied to one or more sets of shared data at a time by referencing one or more shared data ID. + +The "use" and "forget" functions may be used independently or in combination with each other. When used in combination, the decoder is instructed to use the identified shared data resources for that layer and then flush from memory. + +## **B.5 Colour tags** + +In most cases, if a document contains text, each individual text character is a single, flat, colour (e.g., black or red), and the number of such colours is limited. The foreground layer in this case looks like a number of coloured blobs, one for each character, each one having the shape of the corresponding character. + +Colour tags can be taken advantage of for documents containing coloured text based on its: improved compression of foreground image layers (odd numbered layers $\geq 3$ ), high speed encode and decode, ease of transcode to PDLs (printer description languages). If the corresponding mask layer is compressed using JBIG2, then decoding it essentially yields a sequence of (X, Y, Symbol ID) triples. Each triple indicates that the symbol (from some dictionary) specified by "Symbol ID" should be drawn at the location "(X, Y)". Simply augmenting this triple with a fourth component, the colour of that individual character (sometimes called the symbols "colour tag"), allows storage of the foreground layer in a very small amount of space. The foreground is represented by a T.45 run-length encoded list of colours, one per JBIG2 symbol in the mask layer. The colours may be represented by discrete colours (i.e., in CIELAB or ITU-YCC space), indexed colours, such as in palette tables or 1 bit/component RGB/CMY(K). + +A JBIG2-coded mask layer, within a stripe, might contain any combination of generic, halftone, refinement or text regions. Colour tags may only be used in association with JBIG2 mask layers, within a stripe, that contain only text regions (as colour tags "attach" to text). The foreground associated with a mask layer containing generic, refinement or halftone regions (or text and generic or text and halftone or text and refinement regions) shall be coded in the traditional MRC manner (i.e., using a multi-level coder). In other words, colour tags may only be used with foregrounds that are associated with mask layers within a stripe that contains only text regions. + +### **B.5.1 Mask generation (rendering) when JBIG2 encoded** + +ITU-T Rec. T.88 defines a collection of encoding parameters and components, which are mixed and matched to generate various application profiles. Generation of the mask layer data stream will require knowledge of the specific profile used during JBIG2 encoding. Additionally, if colour tags are used to encode the foreground associated with a JBIG2 encoded mask it will be necessary to know this information prior to decoding the mask. + +Clause B.6.3 makes provision for a T88Options function, used to notify the decoder of: the JBIG2 profile used, whether colour tags are used, any other parameters and/or data required to decode the data stream. The T88Options function uses a series of flag bits to identify each option. + +The "tags to follow" options flag bit is used to alert JBIG2 decoders to defer drawing the mask layer until the foreground layer has also been decoded. Given that mask layers are transmitted before the corresponding foreground layers, the decoder needs to be warned that the upcoming foreground layer is simply a list of colours (one per JBIG2 symbol in the mask layer), not a complete image. For this reason, the "tags to follow" flag bit is needed in the mask layer to warn the decoder that the foreground is compressed using colour tags. The decoder can then defer drawing the mask until the foreground layer has also been decoded. + +### B.5.2 Foreground generation (rendering) when mask is JBIG2 encoded + +If the mask layer is coded with JBIG2 and the foreground layer is coded with T.45, then the foreground image is the image obtained by: + +- decoding the text regions in the mask layer into a list of (X, Y, Symbol ID) triples; ordered as found in the JBIG2 data; +- decoding the T.45 data into a list of corresponding colour values (CVAL); this list shall have the same number of elements as the list of triples; +- matching each (X, Y, Symbol ID) triple with the corresponding colour value, giving a list of (X, Y, Symbol ID, CVAL) quads; +- drawing these quads, in order from first to last, into the foreground image. + +Thus, if two symbol instances overlap, the colour from the latter symbol instance overwrites the colour from the first one. + +## B.6 Data format + +### B.6.1 Overview + +The second paragraph of A.9.1 is augmented to add shared data marker segment (SDMx) and a series of encoder marker segments (EMSe). The paragraph now reads as follows: + +The MRC page structure for this application has the following elements: parameters, markers, and entropy-coded data segments. Parameters and markers are often organized into marker segments. Parameters are integers of length $\frac{1}{2}$ , 1, 2 or more octets. Markers are assigned two or more octet codes, an X'FF' octet followed by an octet not equal to X'00' or X'FF' and optionally preceded by extra X'FF' octet codes. This application accommodates marker segments to denote the start of page (SOP), additional optional marker segments (OMSx), the start of a stripe (SOST), the shared data marker segment (SDMx), the start of layer coded data (SLC), encoder related marker segments such as JBIG2 encoder marker segment (JB2e) and colour-interpreter encoder marker segment (CLie), and end of header marker segment (EOH). The SDMx, JB2e and CLie marker segments are defined in Annex B. The MRC Magic Number (i.e., JPEG SOI) is used immediately preceding the application marker as part of the SOP marker segment. Prior to the first SOST, the JPEG EOI is used as a termination number. The end of a page (EOP) is defined as X'FFD9FFD9'. These markers are inserted by the encoder, and understood by the decoder in addition to all markers used for the coding methods, such as SOS (start of scan) of ITU-T Rec. T.81. + +NOTE – Entire JBIG2 encoded data streams (i.e., including JBIG2 stripes and headers) are inserted directly following the EOH marker segment. + +### B.6.2 Start of page marker segment + +Start of page marker segment is defined per Mode 3 of Annex A with revision to the "Mode:" description to read as follows: + +| | | | +|------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Mode | 1 octet | X'04', indicating Mode 4. Each mode identifies a different level of performance.

| | + +### **B.6.4 Shared data marker (SDMx) segment** + +This marker segment makes provision for the use of shared data, shared resources. It provides a means to: create/define a shared resource that is available to be used by multiple coded entities (i.e., pages, stripes or layers); refer to a shared resource at the point where it is to be used; instruct the decoder that the shared resource is no longer required and may be flushed from memory. In applications of JBIG2 encoding, the SDMx is typically used in mask layers (even numbered layers). The SDMx may be located prior to SOST marker segments (i.e., between the TN and the first SOST or between end of coded data stream for one stripe and the SOST for the next stripe), between SOST and SLC, between SLC and EOH, between end of coded data for one layer and SLC for the next layer, or between end of stripe data and EOP. More than one SDMx may appear at the same location within the page structure. + +Structure of each SDMx entry is as follows: + +APP13 (X'FFED'), length, SDMx ident, Optional length (if needed), parameters/data. + +SDMx represents specific shared data marker segments, where "x" is replaced by a specific character used to represent each shared data marker segment. + +#### B.6.4.1 Create shared data marker (SDMc) segment + +The SDMc is used in creating/defining a shared resource that is available to be used by multiple coded entities (i.e., pages, stripes or layers).

The CLIE and foreign encoder marker segments shall and may, respectively, be included to provide complete colour interpretation. CLIE is specified within this annex while foreign encoder marker segments, used in the specification of gamut range, illuminant data and palette data, are defined outside of this annex. As per Annex A, the CLIE and any foreign encoder marker segments shall be located between the SLC and the EOH (End of Header) pair. The EOH is immediately followed by the run-length encoded layer data. + +There are a number of SLC parameters that are not required when ITU-T Rec. T.45 is used for colour value encoding. The value of the following unnecessary SLC parameters shall be set to "0" (zero) when ITU-T Rec. T.45 is used: + +- resolution; +- width; +- height; + +- layer base colour; +- offset. + +The layer number and coder are the only SLC parameters that contain valid information when ITU-T Rec. T.45 is used. + +#### B.6.5.1 Colour-interpreter Encoder Marker Segment (CLie) + +The CLie identifies colour-encoding rules and is required to interpret T.45 encoded colour values (CVAL). The CLie may be used for the interpretation of colour values that have been encoded with other encoders. This marker segment is mandatory for all run-length colour encoded layers.

processing equipment incorporated in Signal Processing Network Element (SPNE) of the Public Switched Telephone Network. + +###### **Source** + +ITU-T Recommendation G.511 was prepared by ITU-T Study Group 16 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 6th of February 1998. + +## FOREWORD + +ITU (International Telecommunication Union) is the United Nations Specialized Agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU.

This control channel is dedicated primarily to carrying channel assignment messages. In addition, the control channel transmits other messages such as idle noise level, dynamic load control, alarm messages and optionally, line signalling information. + +For a packet-oriented circuit multiplication equipment, the CME control channel is either the packet header of a packet carrying the user's traffic or a special packet carrying control information. + +**3.2.3 demodulated transmission path:** This is the path of the facsimile signal when the baseband signal has been extracted by demodulation. + +**3.2.4 facsimile demodulation/remodulation:** This is the processing function in a CME where facsimile is discriminated from voiceband data and subsequently demodulated to recover the baseband digital signal. It is then remodulated at the terminating CME. + +**3.2.5 forward bearer channel:** This is the bearer channel from the calling to the called CME. The direction of facsimile document transmission is assumed to be from the calling to the called CME (see Figure 2). + +**3.2.6 grouped errors:** These are the digital impairments that either affect each bit of a contiguous stream of CME bearer channel bits, or a group of contiguous bits (but not necessarily all bits) according to a pattern determined *a priori*. + +**3.2.7 non-demodulated transmission path:** This is the path of the facsimile signal when the baseband signal is not demodulated, but is either PCM or ADPCM coded. + +**3.2.8 non-standard/mode 1:** This is the mode of transmission where the facsimile terminals at both ends transmit in proprietary mode, although the CME is capable of demodulating and remodulating the high-speed image/message transmissions. + +**3.2.9 non-standard/mode 2:** This is the mode of transmission where the facsimile terminals at both ends transmit in proprietary mode, although the CME is **not capable** of demodulating and remodulating the high speed image/message transmissions. + +**3.2.10 return bearer channel:** This is the bearer channel from the called to the calling CME (see Figure 2). + +# 4 Overview + +### 4.1 Addressed issues + +The test methodology presented in this Recommendation makes provisions for the insertion of impairments on the access links and the bearer links for a variety of test conditions, and also the evaluation of the quality of facsimile image, after processing by the terminating SPNE. + +In particular, the following issues will be addressed: + +- 1) Recognition of Group 3 facsimile calls by the calling CME, and routing to an appropriate facsimile ADPCM or demodulation/remodulation module, if any; +- 2) In case of facsimile demodulation/remodulation equipment, fall-back from a demodulated signal path to an ADPCM signal path, during the set-up process of a facsimile call; +- 3) Assessment of the Group 3 facsimile received image quality when transmitted in CME over the non-demodulated signal path in the presence of access link impairments in the forward calling access link and the forward called access link.

Optionally, the direction of document transmission may be the opposite of the direction under test (polling mode of communication). Tests shall be conducted by transmitting three consecutive pages of documentation. It is preferable that the calling facsimile terminal be fully electronic (or with electronic memory) so that the document scanning process is only undertaken once, and thus does not become a variable in this investigation. + +## 4.3 Number of calls + +For each test condition, at least 20 calls shall be initiated (60 attempted page transmissions in total) so that the error count of measured performance parameters is not less than 100. + +In Table 1 the percentage error intervals (at a 95% confidence level) for four different rates of transmission failures are shown as a function of the total number of pages transmitted. For example, when 60 transmitted pages result in 30 of them being unacceptable (i.e. failure rate of 50%) the mean percentage of pages in error is $50\% \pm 13\%$ . In this case, the magnitude of the error is approximately 1/3 of the size of the mean. As the failure rate increases to 70%, the error magnitude stays approximately the same (12%, therefore resulting in a mean percentage of pages in error of $70\% \pm 12\%$ ) but, as a proportion to the mean, the error size decreases to approximately 1/5. + +## 4.4 Test pages + +Test charts Nos. 4 and 5 of Recommendation T.22 shall be used. + +NOTE – Test chart No. 4 is the same as test chart No. 2 in Recommendation T.21, which is mentioned in Recommendation E.456. + +To evaluate the performance of facsimile transmissions as a function of transmitted page length, pages with different image content may also be used, so that the time it takes to transmit one page of documentation varies between 20 seconds and 200 seconds (at a user signalling rate of 9.6 kbit/s). The density of information content for such pages, expressed as the average number of bits (after one-dimensional run length encoding) per scan-line is defined to be equal to 250 bit/scan-line. + +**Table 1/G.511 – Percentage error intervals at 95% confidence level** + +| Pages per call | Total number of calls | Total number of pages | Mean failure rate 5% | Mean failure rate 20% | Mean failure rate 50% | Mean failure rate 70% | +|-----------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------| +| 3 | 10 | 30 | $\pm 4\%$ | $\pm 15\%$ | $\pm 18\%$ | $\pm 16\%$ | +| 3 | 20 | 60 | $\pm 3\%$ | $\pm 10\%$ | $\pm 13\%$ | $\pm 12\%$ | +| 3 | 30 | 90 | $\pm 2\%$ | $\pm 8\%$ | $\pm 11\%$ | $\pm 9\%$ | +| 3 | 40 | 120 | $\pm 2\%$ | $\pm 4\%$ | $\pm 5\%$ | $\pm 4\%$ | + +## 4.5 Facsimile terminal selection + +Terminals shall be selected so that the test operator can control whether they operate in a standard or proprietary mode. + +# 5 Facsimile terminal configurations + +Three basic types of end-customer facsimile terminal set-ups are used in these tests: + +- terminals operating in the standard Group 3 facsimile mode; +- terminals capable of communicating in a non-standard/mode 1 configuration; +- terminals capable of communicating in a non-standard/mode 2 configuration. + +### **5.1 Standard Group 3 facsimile mode** + +This subclause addresses equipment set-up to control the variability that may exist among terminals conforming to Recommendations T.4 and T.30. Four standard facsimile call configurations are defined. All configurations shall be tested. + +The first configuration, denoted as Std/Conf/1, is the reference configuration. + +#### **5.1.1 Std/Conf/1: Reference configuration** + +The purpose of this test configuration is to test the operation with the V.29 modulation scheme at 9600 bit/s. The objective is to minimize the variability of protocol paths that can be followed by the facsimile terminals, so that image data obtained at different times, and over different CME, can be more conveniently compared against each other. + +The test steps are as follows: + +- i) The facsimile terminals shall be set-up in such a way, so that only the 9600 bit/s of the V.29 modulation scheme is employed. +- ii) The terminals shall be set up in the standard resolution mode. +- iii) The terminals shall be set up to employ the one-dimensional coding scheme (Run Length Coding – RLC). +- iv) Terminals shall be used with non-standard facility options disabled. If this is not possible, terminals from different manufacturers shall be used at opposite ends of the circuit connection. +- v) The transmitting and receiving units shall be configured in the auto-calling and auto-answering modes respectively. +- vi) The error-correction mode shall be disabled. If it is not possible to disable this function, at least one of the terminals selected must not support this capability. + +#### **5.1.2 Std/Conf/2** + +The purpose of this test configuration is to test the operation at rates lower than 9600 bit/s modulation. The objective is to minimize the variability of protocol paths that can be followed by the facsimile terminals, so that image data obtained at different times, and over different CME, can be more conveniently compared against each other. + +In this configuration, the facsimile terminals may employ any of the following user data signalling rates for facsimile image communication: + +- V.29 at 7200 bit/s; +- V.27 *ter* at 4800 bit/s; +- V.27 *ter* at 2400 bit/s. + +Other rates and modulation schemes are for further study. + +#### **5.1.3 Std/Conf/3** + +In this configuration, limitations imposed upon Std/Conf/1 and Std/Conf/2, such as resolution, error-correction, two-dimensional coding, and polling are removed. + +#### **5.1.4 Std/Conf/4** + +The purpose of this test configuration is to test the capability of the CME for rate negotiation during fall-back. + +### **5.2 Non-standard Group 3 facsimile mode** + +#### **5.2.1 Non-standard Group 3 facsimile mode 1** + +Terminals shall be selected so that proprietary communication can be successfully established through "Phase B" of the Group 3 facsimile protocols. In this case, the transmission over the CME bearer takes place over a demodulated signal path. + +#### **5.2.2 Non-standard Group 3 facsimile mode 2** + +Terminals shall be selected so that proprietary communication can only be successfully established through "Phase B" of the Group 3 facsimile protocols if this takes place over an ADPCM path. Initial establishment over a demodulated path during "Phase A" of the Group 3 facsimile protocols with subsequent reassignment to an ADPCM encoded path during "Phase B" is permitted under this mode. + +# **6 Network conditions** + +This clause presents the various parameters used in the tests. + +### **6.1 Access-link impairments** + +#### **6.1.1 Definition** + +Impairments are injected in the facsimile signal in the voiceband domain primarily in the direction of transmission of image information. Figure 3 shows where access-link impairments are injected in the forward access link between the calling facsimile terminal and the calling CME demodulator. Similarly, Figure 4 shows the injection of access-link impairments between the called CME remodulator and the called facsimile terminal. In both figures, the notations PCM and PCM-1 indicate a G.711 PCM encoder and a G.711 PCM decoder, respectively. + +![Block diagram of the forward access link between a calling facsimile terminal and a calling CME demodulator, showing the injection of access-link impairments.](8fbdfc3d17fb1dae7b2d8f5a287fa9fc_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the signal path and impairment injection points in a facsimile system.

The level of network performance degradation that the digital impairments introduce will depend on the location where these impairments are injected. PCM encoder No. 1 and PCM decoder No. 3 are used for interfacing the input and output CME channels to the analogue part of the network. PCM decoder No. 2 is used for calibration procedures only, and is not required when tests are actually undertaken. + +Similarly, the called access-link impairments shown in Figure 4 comprise voiceband analogue impairments and voiceband digital impairments. PCM decoder No. 4 and PCM encoder No. 5 are used for interfacing the input and output CME channels to the analogue part of the network. + +The (single channel) input to the CME system is assumed to be encoded according to the Recommendation G.711 64 kbit/s PCM (A-law, or $\mu$ -law, as necessary for CME compatibility) format. An echo canceller, which is necessary for the correct functioning of CME, is inserted on the line side of the PCM conversion. Note that if echo control is not available, then the termination shall be balanced so that the echo return loss exceeds 40 dB. + +Note that when end-to-end performance is evaluated, a local office network/simulating loop is used between the facsimile terminals and the 2- to 4-wire conversion to provide ringing, voltage drop, DTMF decoding and other locally generated signals. This end-loop is not shown in the figure to avoid unnecessary details. + +##### 6.1.1.1 Analogue impairments + +The analogue channel shall permit the introduction of two types of network impairments: variable and fixed. Variable impairments consist of the linear addition of controlled amounts of band-limited analogue white noise prior to the digitally encoded channel. Fixed impairments consist of group and attenuation distortion, phase jitter, and second and third order non-linear distortion. The impairments to be injected in the analogue channel should be in accordance with Tables 1/G.720 and 2/G.720. + +The test configuration is the same as shown in Figures 1/G.720 and 2/G.720. + +##### 6.1.1.2 Digital impairments + +For further study. + +#### 6.1.2 Access link impairments conditions + +- 1) Analogue voiceband impairments will be as specified in Tables 1/G.720 and 2/G.720. +- 2) Selected PCM-path digital errors are introduced between the calling CME and calling facsimile terminal (i.e. between the calling CME decoder and PCM decoder No. 2). This is used to investigate the CME recovery procedures during unexpected signal-type transmissions resulting from procedural signal corruption. + +### 6.2 Traffic loading + +#### 6.2.1 Definition + +Four conditions for loading the CME are defined for the purposes of investigating facsimile quality and CME behaviour. These are: + +- CME in an Underload (UL) condition with speech traffic; +- CME in an Overload (OL) condition with speech traffic; +- CME in a Heavy Overload (HOL) condition with speech traffic; +- CME in an Overload condition due to Facsimile (OLF). + +To simulate the four loading conditions defined above, a channel activity simulator shall be employed. For all CME input channels which carry traffic, other than facsimile, the simulated voice activity factor shall be equal to 37%. This activity factor shall be used for both calling and called CME, although the loading conditions will, typically, be separately defined (see 6.2.2) at each end, thus implying that traffic asymmetry may be desirable for some test conditions. + +##### 6.2.1.1 CME in a UL condition + +In this case, the number of CME input trunks carrying speech are less than or equal (including any facsimile traffic under test) to the number of CME bearer channels available for carrying speech. No CME bearer channels are thus in overload in this configuration and, for simulated speech traffic, the average bits per sample equals 4.0. Any facsimile traffic is applied on a single CME input channel only. + +##### 6.2.1.2 CME in an OL condition + +In this case, the number of CME input trunks carrying speech exceeds (including any facsimile traffic under test) the number of CME bearer channels available for carrying speech. Therefore, a significant number of channels (**but not all**) may be in overload thus causing, for simulated speech traffic, the average bits per sample to equal 3.7 to 3.8. Any facsimile traffic is applied on a single CME input channel only. + +##### 6.2.1.3 CME in an HOL condition + +In this case, the average bit per sample equals 3.3 to 3.4 (for simulated speech traffic). Any facsimile traffic is applied on a single CME input channel only. + +##### 6.2.1.4 CME in an OLF condition + +In this case, 70% of the CME bearer channel capacity is occupied due to the transport of facsimile traffic and the remaining capacity is used to carry simulated speech traffic at a lower average but per sample than what achieves toll quality. (This is defined for each coding algorithm and for each type of equipment.) The facsimile traffic is real, rather than simulated, using repeated 3-page transmissions in the standard configurations defined in 5.4 are employed. These transmissions are used for the purpose of loading the CME in a controlled fashion; however, their quality is not monitored. In this case, a new facsimile call is initiated every 10 s. + +NOTE – Testing of CME with other voice coding algorithms than ADPCM, e.g. G.728 and G.729, is for further study. + +#### 6.2.2 Loading conditions + +Seven different configurations are described. The first four to be used in every case, and the last three to be used in multiple or multinode only. + +| Loading Condition | Calling CME | Called CME | Remarks | +|-------------------|-------------|------------|-------------------------------------| +| 1 | UL | UL | All cases | +| 2 | OL | OL | All cases | +| 3 | HOL | HOL | All cases | +| 4 | OLF | OLF | All cases | +| 5 | OL | UL | Multidestination and multinode only | +| 6 | HOL | UL | Multidestination and multinode only | +| 7 | OLF | UL | Multidestination and multinode only | + +### 6.3 Delay + +To simulate different types of possible connections, delay should be introduced in the CME bearer link, when undertaking laboratory tests. + +Three conditions will be tested: + +- LD: Low Delay to represent fibre or submarine cable connections – **40 ms one-way delay**. +- MD: Medium Delay to represent one-hop satellite connections – **270 ms one-way delay**. +- HD: High Delay to represent two-hop satellite connections – **540 ms one-way delay**. + +### 6.4 Bearer impairments + +The digital errors introduced here shall be as representative as possible of the actual conditions on the transmission link. + +The purpose of introducing bearer impairments is to: + +- 1) observe the effect of bearer channel impairments on the end-user facsimile terminal customer performance; +- 2) observe the CME behaviour when particular types of traffic are being transmitted under specific bearer channel impairment conditions; + +- 3) mark customer traffic so that the CME path employed can be determined at the destination end-user terminal location. + +Injection of errors on the bearer depends on whether the CME is based on circuit or packet transmission. In case of circuit-based transmission, two different methods to generate and inject impairments in the CME bearer channel are possible. + +#### **6.4.1 Circuit-oriented CME** + +There are two aspects to be considered in circuit-oriented CME, the generation of the bearer channels with injection of markers. + +##### **6.4.1.1 Generation of bearer errors** + +The purpose of this method is: + +- 1) to assess the performance obtained at the end-user facsimile terminal under simulated operating conditions; +- 2) to observe the CME's behaviour under specific impairment conditions (that may include and/or exceed the extreme values of the CME operating range). + +The reference condition will be a time interval during which there are no bit errors (i.e. error-free interval). + +Digital errors in the bearer channel shall be injected according to one of the following formats: + +- 1) Random bit errors over the entire bearer representing the operating range of interest; +- 2) Grouped errors according to the following patterns: + - Specific bit errors over the customer traffic-carrying bearer slots only (i.e. CME control channel excluded, assuming there is one); + - Specific bit errors over the CME control channel slots only (assuming there is one); + - Specific burst errors over the entire CME bearer channel; + - Specific multiple errors over the entire CME bearer channel. +- 3) Random burst errors of controlled duration over the entire CME bearer channel. + +In particular, for the grouped and burst errors: + +- 1) The specific errors patterns to be introduced in circuit-oriented CME customer traffic-carrying slots are generated as follows: + - For ADPCM encoded channels: + - Least Significant Bit (LSB); + - Second LSB; + - Third LSB (or Most Significant Bit – 1); + - Fourth LSB (= Most Significant Bit) (if there is one). + +Other types of traffic are for further study. + +- 2) The specific error patterns to be introduced in circuit-oriented CME control channels are defined as follows: + - LSB; + - LSB and second LSB; + - LSB, second LSB and third LSB; + - LSB, second LSB and third LSB. + +- 3) For the introduction of specific burst-error patterns over the entire CME bearer, a "burst-error injector" is required. This equipment permits the selective (by position) inversion of a specified number of bits, starting after the expiration of a predetermined time interval where no bit errors are injected. Three parameters are defined: + - length of burst; + - bit-error distribution within burst; + - frequency of burst occurrence. +- 4) Specific multiple-error patterns over the entire bearer channel are generated by corruption of contiguous CME bearer bits. This is accomplished by employing an impulse generator to inject single errors at a preselectable rate. A custom-built unit which permits the corruption of the next one, two, three, four, or five contiguous bits for every bit error inserted in the digitally transmitted signal is used for this test configuration. This will give rise to contiguous single, double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, and sextuple error events respectively. +- 5) Random burst errors of controlled duration over the entire bearer may be generated by utilization of a burst-error generator to directly inject errors into the CME bearer channel. This method permits the corruption of N randomly distributed bits within a contiguous window of 2N bits of transmitted data. This method of burst-error generation (which are no longer specific) utilizes commercially available bit-error equipment. + +#### **6.4.2 Identification of the bearer channels with markers** + +The purpose here is to mark the end-user traffic to tag the CME path employed at the destination end-user terminal location. The idea is to exploit the difference in transmission error properties of the ADPCM encoded path and the facsimile demodulated/remodulated path. + +In particular, it is known that errors are injected in the ADPCM encoded path, the recovered baseband signal at the receiving facsimile terminal will experience more bits with errors for every erroneous bit of the encoded bit-stream. This effect is known as the error multiplication effect. By contrast, errors introduced on a demodulated CME path (in the now baseband signal), the recovered baseband signal at the receiving facsimile terminal will only contain the same number of bits in error as the number of erroneous bits in the CME bearer bit-stream. It is assumed, of course, that no further impairments are introduced in the facsimile signal between the CME remodulation point and the receiving end-user terminal. + +This property can be used to tag the traffic so that the correct routing of facsimile messages can be determined at the called facsimile terminal without decoding the CME input to bearer channel assignment information. + +These type of "marking" errors are introduced as follows: + +The entire bearer stream of one (and only one) CME frame is impaired so that every bit (preferably excluding any CME control channels) is in error. The type of frame to be in error is for further study and may be CME terminal dependent. Since each bearer slot that can carry voiceband data is either 4, 5 or 8 bits, inverting the user traffic will result in: + +- 1) no more than 8 bits in error, if the facsimile traffic is carried in the demodulated path; or +- 2) several bits in error (typically > 15) if the facsimile traffic is carried in the ADPCM path. + +This observation is obtained at the receiving (called) facsimile terminal, and is based on the assumption that the baseband Run-Length Coded bit-stream transmitted by the calling terminal is known at the called terminal. It is preferable to avoid traffic "error marking" and rely on CME internal reporting capabilities, if possible. + +#### 6.4.3 Packet-oriented CME + +In packet-oriented CME, the concepts of a bearer channel separate from a control channel do not apply. Therefore, the concern will be only the generation of bearer errors. + +The reference condition will be a time interval during which there are no bit-errors (i.e. error-free interval). + +Digital errors in the bearer channel shall be injected according to one of the following formats: + +- 1) random bit errors over the entire bearer representing the operating range of interest; +- 2) random burst errors of controlled duration over the entire CME bearer channel. + +For the introduction of specific burst errors over the entire CME bearer a "burst-error injector" is required. Four parameters are defined: + +- length of burst; +- bit-error distribution within burst; +- frequency of burst occurrence. + +Random burst errors of controlled duration over the entire bearer may be generated by utilization of a burst-error generator to directly inject errors into the CME bearer channel. This method permits the corruption of N randomly distributed bits within a contiguous window of 2N bits of transmitted data. This method of burst-error generation (which are no longer specific) utilizes commercially available bit-error equipment. + +#### 6.4.4 Bearer conditions + +Four different configurations will be used. + +NOTE – Burst errors introduced into the return CME bearer channel are for further study. + +##### 6.4.4.1 BC1: Bearer Condition 1 + +Specific burst errors capable of affecting the entire bearer are included. The types of burst errors to be used in the forward channel for these tests reflect the characteristics of the communication system being simulated. + +As explained in Recommendation G.826, the following characteristics need to be defined: + +- length of burst; +- bit-error distribution within burst; +- frequency of burst occurrence; +- time interval where no bit errors are present (i.e. error-free interval). + +For circuit-oriented CME, if the equipment provides a mechanism for internally accessing the channel assignment maps, then these maps shall be used for the identification of the path assigned to the facsimile call. If the CME does not permit such access, "marking" errors, as described in 6.4.1.2, shall be employed. When marking errors are used, these shall be introduced either in the forward channel for standard transmission, or in the return channel when polling is employed. If marking errors are employed, the burst errors defined above shall not be utilized in the same CME bearer channel direction. + +The introduction of marking errors shall be undertaken so that the CME maintains synchronization. The marking errors shall be introduced once for each page of documentation transmitted. + +##### 6.4.4.2 BC2: Bearer Condition 2 + +Two sets of conditions shall be exercised: the first with no impairments in the forward CME bearer channel, and the second with three types of impairment conditions. These are: + +- random bit errors over the entire bearer at an error rate reflecting the test-range of interest; +- grouped errors: + - specific bit errors over the customer traffic-carrying bearer slots only (i.e. CME control channel excluded, assuming there is one – see 6.4.1.1); + - specific bit errors over the CME control channel slots only (assuming there is one – see 6.4.1.1); +- medium-specific burst errors over the entire bearer to reflect the actual (see 6.4.1.1 and 6.4.2). + +### 6.5 Forward error correction + +Some tests will be with done with and without forward correction as shown in 6.7. + +### 6.6 Return echo level + +Some tests will be with done with and without echo level control as shown in 6.7. The values of the echo return loss will be as defined in 5.4/G.720. + +### 6.7 Reference conditions + +This subclause defines the various conditions that will be used during testing.

The delay is measured between measurement points ① and ② in Figure I.1. + +#### – **Method 2** + +Measure the gap between the DIS signal and the next V.21 signal transmitted from the called to calling side. The measurements are performed at the transmitting side (measurement point ①) and at the receiving side (measurement point ②). The values are then compared to see if the difference is about 100 ms. + +When the two CMEs are not located in the same geographical site, it should be possible to configure DCME 2 to split and loopback the incoming channel over a clear (preassigned) channel back to DCME 1 and use measurement point ③ instead of ②.

Use one at each measurement point and compare the readouts for the duration of the silence gaps between the DIS and the following V.21 signal at both ends. + +# **Bibliography** + +DIMOLITSAS (S.), CORCORAN (F.L.), ONUFRY (M.), SUYDERHOUD (H.G.): Evaluation of ADPCM Coders for Digital Circuit Multiplication Equipment, *COMSAT Technical Review*, Vol. 17, No. 2, 1987. + + + +# ITU-T RECOMMENDATIONS SERIES + +| | | +|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Series A | Organization of the work of the ITU-T | +| Series B | Means of expression: definitions, symbols, classification | +| Series C | General telecommunication statistics | +| Series D | General tariff principles | +| Series E | Overall network operation, telephone service, service operation and human factors | +| Series F | Non-telephone telecommunication services | +| Series G | Transmission systems and media, digital systems and networks | +| Series H | Audiovisual and multimedia systems | +| Series I | Integrated services digital network | +| Series J | Transmission of television, sound programme and other multimedia signals | +| Series K | Protection against interference | +| Series L | Construction, installation and protection of cables and other elements of outside plant | +| Series M | TMN and network maintenance: international transmission systems, telephone circuits, telegraphy, facsimile and leased circuits | +| Series N | Maintenance: international sound programme and television transmission circuits | +| Series O | Specifications of measuring equipment | +| Series P | Telephone transmission quality, telephone installations, local line networks | +| Series Q | Switching and signalling | +| Series R | Telegraph transmission | +| Series S | Telegraph services terminal equipment | +| Series T | Terminals for telematic services | +| Series U | Telegraph switching | +| Series V | Data communication over the telephone network | +| Series X | Data networks and open system communications | +| Series Y | Global information infrastructure | +| Series Z | Programming languages | \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marked/T/T-REC-T.50-199209-I_PDF-E/raw.md b/marked/T/T-REC-T.50-199209-I_PDF-E/raw.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..26f866d322e342dba6cc82d34c2ea493e2938ef2 --- /dev/null +++ b/marked/T/T-REC-T.50-199209-I_PDF-E/raw.md @@ -0,0 +1,764 @@ + + +![ITU logo: a globe with the letters ITU inside, crossed by a lightning bolt.](2dfa6ac3edfe874f68aa0cbccaa42322_img.jpg) + +ITU logo: a globe with the letters ITU inside, crossed by a lightning bolt. + +INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION + +# CCITT + +THE INTERNATIONAL +TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE +CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE + +## T.50 + +(09/92) + +**TERMINAL EQUIPMENT AND PROTOCOLS +FOR TELEMATIC SERVICES** + +--- + +**INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE +ALPHABET (IRA)** + +(FORMERLY INTERNATIONAL ALPHABET No. 5 or IA5) + +**INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – +7-BIT CODED CHARACTER SET +FOR INFORMATION INTERCHANGE** + +![CCITT logo: a globe with the letters CCITT inside.](1d7527f4316cfe2d342b08d1653d1592_img.jpg) + +CCITT logo: a globe with the letters CCITT inside. + +**Recommendation T.50** + +--- + +# FOREWORD + +The CCITT (the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee) is a permanent organ of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). CCITT is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. + +The Plenary Assembly of CCITT which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study and approves Recommendations prepared by its Study Groups. The approval of Recommendations by the members of CCITT between Plenary Assemblies is covered by the procedure laid down in CCITT Resolution No. 2 (Melbourne, 1988). + +Recommendation (revised) T.50 was prepared by Study Group VIII and was approved under the Resolution No. 2 procedure on the 18th of September 1992. + +# --- CCITT NOTES + +- 1) In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration” is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized private operating agency. +- 2) A list of abbreviations used in this Recommendation can be found in Annex C. + +# **INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE ALPHABET (IRA)** + +(Formerly International Alphabet No. 5 or IA5) + +# **Information technology – 7-bit coded character set for information interchange** + +*(revised 1992)* + +## **1 Scope** + +1.1 This Recommendation specifies a set of 128 characters, (control characters and graphic characters such as letters, digits and symbols) with their coded representation. Most of these characters are mandatory and unchangeable, but provision is made for some flexibility to accommodate national and other requirements. + +1.2 This Recommendation specifies a 7-bit coded character set with a number of options. It also provides guidance on how to exercise the options to define specific national versions and application-oriented versions. Furthermore, it specifies the International Reference Version (IRV) in which such options have been exercised. + +1.3 This character set is primarily intended for the interchange of information among data processing systems and associated equipment, and within data communication systems. The need for graphic characters and control functions in data processing has also been taken into account in determining this character set. + +1.4 This character set is applicable to alphabets of the Latin script. + +1.5 This character set allows the use of control characters for code extension where its character set is insufficient for particular applications. Procedures for the use of these control characters are specified in ISO 2022. + +1.6 The definitions of the control characters mentioned in this Recommendation are specified in Annex A. It is assumed that data associated with them are to be processed serially in a forward direction. When they are included in strings of data which are processed other than serially in a forward direction, or when they are included in data formatted for fixed-record processing, they may have undesirable effects or may require additional special treatment to ensure that they result in their desired function. + +1.7 This is a paired Recommendation/International Standard, equivalent in technical content to ISO/IEC 646 (1991). + +## **2 Conformance and implementation** + +### *2.1 Conformance* + +#### *2.1.1 Conformance of information interchange* + +A coded-character-data-element (CC-data-element) within coded information for interchange is in conformance with this Recommendation if all the coded representations of characters within that CC-data-element conform to the requirements of § 8.1. + +A claim of conformance shall identify the version adopted in accordance with §§ 8.2 to 8.4. + +#### 2.1.2 *Conformance of devices* + +A device is in conformance with this Recommendation if it conforms to the requirements of § 2.1.2.1, and either or both of §§ 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.2.3 below. A claim of conformance shall identify the version adopted. + +##### 2.1.2.1 *Device description* + +A device that conforms to this Recommendation shall be the subject of a description that identifies the means by which the user may supply characters to the device, or may recognize them when they are made available to the user, as specified respectively in §§ 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.2.3 below. + +##### 2.1.2.2 *Originating devices* + +An originating device shall allow its user to supply any sequence of characters from the version adopted, and shall be capable of transmitting their coded representations within a CC-data-element. + +##### 2.1.2.3 *Receiving devices* + +A receiving device shall be capable of receiving and interpreting any coded representations of characters that are within a CC-data-element, and that conform to § 2.1.1, and shall make the corresponding characters available to its user in such a way that the user can identify them from among those of the version adopted, and can distinguish them from each other. + +## 2.2 *Implementation* + +The use of this character set requires definitions of its implementation in various media. For example, these could include punched tapes, punched cards, magnetic and optical interchangeable media and transmission channels, thus permitting interchange of data to take place either indirectly by means of an intermediate recording on a physical medium, or by local connection of various units (such as input and output devices and computers) or by means of data transmission equipment. + +The implementation of this coded character set in physical media and for transmission, taking into account the need for error checking, is the subject of other Recommendations. + +## 3 **Normative references** + +The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this Recommendation are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed below. + +ISO 2022: 1986 *Information processing – ISO 7-bit and 8-bit coded character sets – Coded extension techniques.* + +## 4 **Definitions** + +For the purpose of this Recommendation the following definitions apply. + +### 4.1 **active position** + +The character position which is to image the graphic symbol representing the next graphic character or relative to which the next control function is to be executed. + +*Note* – In general, the active position is indicated by a cursor. + +### 4.2 **bit combination** + +An ordered set of bits used for the representation of characters. + +### 4.3 **character** + +A member of a set of elements used for the organization, control or representation of data. + +### 4.4 **character position** + +The portion of a display that is imaging or is capable of imaging a graphic symbol. + +### 4.5 **coded character set; code** + +A set of unambiguous rules that establishes a character set and the one-to-one relationship between the characters of the set and their representation by one or more bit combinations. + +### 4.6 **coded character-data-element (CC-data-element)** + +An element of interchanged information that is specified to consist of a sequence of coded representations of characters, in accordance with one or more identified standards for coded character sets. + +*Note 1* – In a communication environment according to the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection of Recommendation X.200 (ISO 7498) a CC-data-element will form all or part of the information that corresponds to the application user data and the presentation protocol data unit (PPDU) defined in that Recommendation. + +*Note 2* – When information interchange is accomplished by means of interchangeable media, a CC-data-element will form all or part of the information that corresponds to the user data, and not that recorded during formatting and initialization. + +### 4.7 **code extension** + +The techniques for the encoding of characters that are not included in the character set of a given code. + +### 4.8 **code table** + +A table showing the character allocated to each bit combination in a code. + +## 4.9 **control character** + +A control function the coded representation of which consists of a single bit combination. + +## 4.10 **control function** + +An action that affects the recording, processing, transmission or interpretation of data and that has a coded representation consisting of one or more combinations. + +### 4.11 **device** + +A component of information processing equipment which can transmit, and/or can receive, coded information within CC-data-elements. + +*Note* – It may be an input/output device in the conventional sense, or a process such as an application program or gateway function. + +### 4.12 **graphic character** + +A character, other than a control function, that has a visual representation normally handwritten, printed or displayed, and that has a coded representation consisting of one or more bit combinations. + +### 4.13 **graphic symbol** + +A visual representation of a graphic character or of a control function. + +### 4.14 **position** + +That part of a code table identified by its column and row co-ordinates. + +### 4.15 **repertoire** + +A specified set of characters that are represented by means of one or more bit combinations of a coded character set. + +### 4.16 **user** + +A person or other entity that invokes the services provided by a device. + +*Note 1* – This entity may be a process such as an application program if the “device” is a code convertor or a gateway function, for example. + +*Note 2* – The characters, as supplied by the user or made available to the user, may be in the form of codes local to the device, or of non-conventional visible representations, provided that § 2.1.2 above is satisfied. + +## 5 **Notation, code table and names** + +### 5.1 *Notation* + +The bits of the bit combinations of the 7-bit code are identified by $b_7$ , $b_6$ , $b_5$ , $b_4$ , $b_3$ , $b_2$ , and $b_1$ , where $b_7$ is the highest-order, or most-significant, bit and $b_1$ is the lowest order, or least-significant, bit. + +The bit combination may be interpreted to represent integers in the range 0 to 127 in binary notation by attributing the following weights to the individual bits: + +| Bit | $b_7$ | $b_6$ | $b_5$ | $b_4$ | $b_3$ | $b_2$ | $b_1$ | +|--------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------| +| Weight | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1 | + +In this Recommendation, the bit combinations are identified by notations of the form $x/y$ , where $x$ is a number in the range 0 to 7 and $y$ is a number in the range 0 to 15. The correspondence between the notations of the form $x/y$ and the bit combinations consisting of the bits $b_7$ to $b_1$ is as follows: + +- $x$ is the number represented by $b_7$ , $b_6$ , and $b_5$ , where these bits are given the weights 4, 2 and 1 respectively; +- $y$ is the number represented by $b_4$ , $b_3$ , $b_2$ , and $b_1$ , where these bits are given the weights 8, 4, 2 and 1 respectively. + +The notations of the form $x/y$ are the same as those used to identify code table positions, where $x$ is the column number and $y$ the row number (see § 9). + +### 5.2 *Code table* + +A 7-bit code table consists of 128 positions arranged in 8 columns and 16 rows. The columns are numbered 0 to 7 and the rows 0 to 15. + +The code table positions are identified by notations of the form $x/y$ , where $x$ is the column number and $y$ is the row number. + +The position of the code table is in one-to-one correspondence with the bit combinations of the code. The notation of a code table position, of the form $x/y$ , is the same as that of the corresponding bit combination. + +The allocation of individual characters to the bit combinations of the 7-bit code is specified in §§ 6.2 to 6.5. + +### 5.3 *Names* + +This Recommendation assigns one name to each character. In addition, it specifies an acronym for each control character and for the character SPACE, and a graphic symbol for each graphic character. By convention, only capital letters, space and hyphen are used for writing the names of the characters. For acronyms only capital letters and digits are used. It is intended that the acronyms and this convention be retained in all translation of the text. + +The names chosen to denote graphic characters are intended to reflect their customary meaning. However, this Recommendation does not define and does not restrict the meanings of graphic characters. Neither does it specify a particular style or font design for the graphic characters when imaged. + +## 6 **Specification of the coded character set** + +### 6.1 *Structure* + +The coded character set of this Recommendation shall have the following structure: + +- a C0 control character set of up to 32 control characters allocated to positions 0/0 to 1/15; +- the graphic character SPACE (SP) allocated to position 2/0; +- a G0 graphic character set of up to 94 graphic characters allocated to positions 2/1 to 7/14; +- the character DELETE (DEL) allocated to position 7/15. + +### 6.2 *Control characters* + +The control characters allocated to positions 0/0 to 1/15 shall be as specified in Annex A. + +### 6.3 *Character SPACE* + +The acronym of the character SPACE is SP and its coded representation is 2/0. + +This character is a graphic character; it has a visual representation consisting of the absence of a graphic symbol. + +![Diagram showing the structure of the 7-bit coded character set.

These bit combinations are available for national or application-oriented use. Either a unique graphic character shall be allocated to each of these bit combinations, or the bit combination shall be declared unused (see § 8.1). + +### 6.5 *Character DELETE* + +The acronym of the character DELETE is DEL and its coded representation is 7/15. DEL was originally used to erase or obliterate an erroneous or unwanted character in punched tape. DEL may be used for media-fill or time-fill. DEL characters may be inserted into, or removed from, a data stream without affecting the information content of that stream, but such action may affect the information layout and/or the control of equipment. + +## 7 **Composite graphic characters** + +Whilst all graphic characters specified in this Recommendation are spacing characters, it is possible, by using BACKSPACE or CARRIAGE RETURN to image two or more graphic characters at the same character position (see also § B.2). + +For example, SOLIDUS and EQUALS SIGN may be combined to image “not equals”. The character LOW LINE, that may be used as a free-standing character, may also be associated with other character(s) to represent the graphic rendition “underlined”. + +Diacritical marks may be allocated to the bit combinations specified in § 6.4.3 and be available for composing accented letters. For such composition a sequence of three characters, the first or last of which is the letter to be accented and the second of which is BACKSPACE may be used. Furthermore, QUOTATION MARK, APOSTROPHE or COMMA can be associated with a letter by means of BACKSPACE for the composition of an accented letter with a diaeresis, an acute accent or a cedilla, respectively. + +## 8 Versions of the coded character set + +### 8.1 General + +The basic code table is shown in Table 4/T.50. + +In order to use the 7-bit coded character set for information interchange, it is necessary to exercise the options left open in § 6: + +- to specify the C0 set of control characters according to Annex A; +- to specify the G0 set: + - to allocate to each of the bit combinations 2/3 and 2/4 one of the alternative graphic characters specified in § 6.4.2; + - to allocate to each of the bit combinations 4/0, 5/11 to 5/14, 6/0 and 7/11 to 7/14 a unique graphic character, or to declare the bit combination unused. + +A graphic character allocated to a bit combination specified in §§ 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 shall not be allocated to any other bit combination. For example, the POUND SIGN, if not allocated to bit combination 2/3, shall not be allocated to any other bit combination. + +A character set completed in this way is called a “version of T.50”. + +### 8.2 International Reference Version (IRV) + +This version is available for use when there is no requirement to use a national or an application-oriented version. In information interchange, the IRV is assumed unless an agreement exists between sender and recipient of the data (see also § 10). The graphic characters allocated to the G0 set of the IRV shall be as specified in Tables 1/T.50 and 3/T.50. See Table 5/T.50. Agreement between sender and recipient of the data shall be required if composite characters are used. + +The C0 set of the IRV is as specified in Annex A. + +TABLE 3/T.50 + +**IRV graphic character allocations** + +| Graphic Symbol | Name | Coded representation | +|----------------|----------------------|----------------------| +| # | Number sign | 2/3 | +| \$ | Dollar sign | 2/4 | +| @ | Commercial at | 4/0 | +| [ | Left square bracket | 5/11 | +| \ | Reverse solidus | 5/12 | +| ] | Right square bracket | 5/13 | +| ^ | Circumflex accent | 5/14 | +| ‘ | Grave accent | 6/0 | +| { | Left curly bracket | 7/11 | +| | Vertical line | 7/12 | +| } | Right curly bracket | 7/13 | +| ~ | Tilde | 7/14 | + +### 8.3 *National versions* + +8.3.1 The responsibility for defining national versions lies with the national standardization bodies. These bodies shall exercise the options available and make the required selection (see Annex B). + +8.3.2 If so required, more than one national version can be defined within a country. The different versions shall be separately identified. In particular, when alternative graphic characters are required, for a given bit combination, for example 5/12, two different versions shall be identified, even if they differ only by this single character. + +8.3.3 If, in a country, there is no special demand for specific graphic characters, it is strongly recommended that the characters of the G0 set of the International Reference Version (IRV) be selected and allocated to the same bit combinations as in the IRV. + +However, when graphic characters that are different from the characters of the IRV are required, they shall have distinct forms and be given distinctive names which are not in conflict with any of the forms or the names of any of the graphic characters in the IRV. + +### 8.4 *Application-oriented versions* + +Within national or international industries, organizations or professional groups, application-oriented versions may be used. They require precise agreement among the interested parties, who will have to exercise the options available and to make the required selection. + +## 9 **Identification of versions** + +### 9.1 *Purpose and context of identification* + +CC-data-elements conforming to a version of this Recommendation are intended to form all or part of a composite unit of coded information that is interchanged between an originator and a recipient. The identification of the version of this Recommendation that has been adopted by the originator shall also be available to the recipient. The route by which such identification is communicated to the recipient is outside the scope of this Recommendation. + +However, some standards for interchange of coded information may permit, or require, that the coded representation of the identification applicable to the CC-data-elements forms a part of the interchanged information. This clause specifies a coded representation for the identification of a version of this Recommendation. Such coded representation form all or part of an identifying data element, which may be included in information interchange in accordance with the relevant standard. + +## 9.2 *Identification of a version* + +The identification of a version of this Recommendation shall comprise a set of identifications, one for the C0 set and G0 set that constitute the version. Each identification in the set shall consist of a designating escape sequence of the type shown below: + +- ESC 2/1 F shall identify the C0 set; +- ESC 2/8 F shall identify the G0 set. + +The final byte F of these escape sequence shall be obtained from the International Register ISO 2375. If the C0 set is empty, the identification shall be the same escape sequence in which the Final byte F is 7/14. + +The IRV shall be identified by the following escape sequences: + +- Registration ISO IR No. 1: ESC 2/1 4/0; +- Registration ISO IR No. 6: ESC 2/8 4/2. + +*Note* – This IRV defers from the previous IRV of IA5. + +## 10 Explanation of code Tables 4/T.50 and 5/T.50 + +Table 4/T.50 is the basic 7-bit code table.

All facilities, restrictions and specifications of the standard should be stated clearly in sentences using plain language, rather than being summarized in tables with notes. + +#### B.2.1 *Control functions* + +The standard should contain the selection of control characters from the C0 set and an explicit description of the corresponding control functions. Even where the descriptions are identical with those of this Recommendation, they should be stated explicitly, and not merely by reference to this Recommendation. For application-oriented standards the specific meaning of the Information Separators and of the Device Controls should be defined. + +#### B.2.2 *Graphic characters (see § 8.3.3)* + +Where there is no need for particular characters, the graphic characters of the International Reference Version (IRV) should be allocated to the same positions and with the same names as in this Recommendation. + +#### B.2.3 *Composite graphic characters and repertoire* + +This Recommendation permits the construction of composite graphic characters by using the control characters BACKSPACE and CARRIAGE RETURN to image two or more graphic characters at the same character position. + +The total number of graphic characters which can be obtained from any version of the character set, with or without using this facility, is called the repertoire. This Recommendation does not define a particular repertoire. However, as the interpretation and/or the imaging of composite characters may cause difficulties, agreement between sender and recipient of the data may be required. To minimize the need for such agreements and to facilitate interchange, national or application-oriented standards may specify a standard repertoire of graphic characters which permit only a limited number of composite graphic characters. Such limitations are considered fully compatible with this Recommendation. + +#### B.2.4 *Versions* + +In a standard, one or more versions can be specified. It should be noted that a version is not a standard but only part of a standard. The standard itself consists of the C0 set and the well-defined version or versions and a set of clauses as mentioned above. The definition of a version requires that the options mentioned in § 8.1 be properly exercised. + +## ANNEX C (to Recommendation T.50) + +## **Alphabetical list of abbreviations used in this Recommendation** + +| | | +|-----|----------------------------------| +| ACK | Acknowledge | +| BEL | Bell | +| BS | Backspace | +| CAN | Cancel | +| CR | Carriage return | +| DC1 | Device control one | +| DC2 | Device control two | +| DC3 | Device control three | +| DC4 | Device control four | +| DEL | DELETE | +| DEL | Delete | +| DLE | Data link escape | +| EM | End of medium | +| ENQ | Enquiry | +| EOT | End of transmission | +| ESC | Escape | +| ETB | End of transmission block | +| ETX | End of text | +| FF | Form feed | +| FS | File separator | +| GS | Group separator | +| HT | Horizontal tabulation | +| IA5 | International Alphabet No. 5 | +| IRA | International reference alphabet | +| IRV | International reference version | +| IS1 | Information separator one | +| IS2 | Information separator two | +| IS3 | Information separator three | +| IS4 | Information separator four | +| LF | Line feed | +| NAK | Negative acknowledge | + +| | | +|-----|----------------------| +| NUL | Null | +| RS | Record separator | +| SI | Shift-in | +| SO | Shift-out | +| SOH | Start of heading | +| SP | SPACE | +| STX | Start of text | +| SUB | Substitute character | +| SYN | Synchronous idle | +| US | Unit separator | +| VT | Vertical tabulation | \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/2dfa6ac3edfe874f68aa0cbccaa42322_img.jpg b/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/2dfa6ac3edfe874f68aa0cbccaa42322_img.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..76f2f80db9288df93a4c995e120668752f79e06a --- /dev/null +++ b/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/2dfa6ac3edfe874f68aa0cbccaa42322_img.jpg @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:ca159653a608f10fdf9ccfd8d3e1a442a4c68f0990313cb76b3c5175336ca352 +size 8349 diff --git a/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/5445597cceefaca1ac89e710fe339325_img.jpg b/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/5445597cceefaca1ac89e710fe339325_img.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..67870c7a72430bd5e7b96df95743562831cf2f4c --- /dev/null +++ b/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/5445597cceefaca1ac89e710fe339325_img.jpg @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1 +oid sha256:1b0d8c2705cd8bd900deb07ff345bb487ab72819913be7982aab41f4276846bc +size 9804 diff --git a/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/raw.md b/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/raw.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..35da52c7837df9c9b245d5e4f0e008c006c81105 --- /dev/null +++ b/marked/T/T-REC-T.503-200002-I_PDF-E/raw.md @@ -0,0 +1,1724 @@ + + +![ITU logo: a globe with the letters ITU inside, crossed by a lightning bolt.](2dfa6ac3edfe874f68aa0cbccaa42322_img.jpg) + +ITU logo: a globe with the letters ITU inside, crossed by a lightning bolt. + +INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION + +# ITU-T + +TELECOMMUNICATION +STANDARDIZATION SECTOR +OF ITU + +# T.503 + +(02/2000) + +SERIES T: TERMINALS FOR TELEMATIC SERVICES + +--- + +# **Document application profile for the interchange of Group 4 facsimile documents** + +ITU-T Recommendation T.503 + +(Previously CCITT Recommendation) + +--- + +## ITU-T T-SERIES RECOMMENDATIONS **TERMINALS FOR TELEMATIC SERVICES** + +*For further details, please refer to ITU-T List of Recommendations.* + +# **DOCUMENT APPLICATION PROFILE FOR THE INTERCHANGE OF GROUP 4 FACSIMILE DOCUMENTS** + +## **Summary** + +This Recommendation defines a document application profile that may be used by any telematic service.

The last amendment, Amendment 5, was prepared by ITU-T Study Group 8 (1997-2000) and was approved under the WTSC Resolution 1 procedure on 10 February 2000. + +## FOREWORD + +The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. + +The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. + +The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution 1. + +In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. + +## NOTE + +In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. + +## INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS + +ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. + +As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. + +© ITU 2001 + +All rights reserved.

(Commonly referred to as JPEG standard.) +- ITU-T Recommendation T.42 (1996), *Continuous-tone colour representation method for facsimile*. + +## B.3 Definitions + +The definitions in ITU-T Recommendations T.411, T.81 and T.42 apply to this annex, unless explicitly amended. + +**B.3.1 JPEG:** Joint Photographic Experts Group, and also shorthand for the encoding method, described in Recommendation T.81, which was defined by this group. + +## B.4 Characteristics supported by this document application profile + +### B.4.1 Overview + +A Group 4 continuous-tone image facsimile document is the result of a formatting process and, therefore, the purpose of this document application profile is to allow transfer of the complete layout of the document. + +Only one category of content is allowed within the same page, namely: raster graphics content as used by facsimile Group 4 apparatus. + +The purpose of this document application profile is to allow transfer of the complete colour and gray-scale information of the continuous-tone image document. + +This subclause specifies the functional description of colour and gray-scale related features supported by this document application profile. Other functional descriptions are specified in Clause 6. + +### B.4.2 Colour representation + +Colour representation defines colour specification method, for example, direct or indexed expression, colour space, scale and offset, and illuminant/white point. These are aligned to Recommendation T.42. + +The basic value is direct expression in CIE 1976 ( $L^* a^* b^*$ ) colour space (CIELAB). It is also the default value. + +The basic values for scale and offset are as follows: + +L, a, b: 8 or 12 bits integer value. + +$L^*$ , $a^*$ , $b^*$ : real value colour coordinates in CIELAB space. + +– 8 bits/colour component case: + +$$L = (255/100) * L^*$$ + +$$a = (255/170) * a^* + 128$$ + +$$b = (255/200) * b^* + 96$$ + +Rounding to the nearest integer is performed. If L, a, or b fall outside the range [0, 255], they are truncated to 0 or 255 as appropriate. + +– 12 bits/colour component case: + +$$L = (4095/100) * L^*$$ + +$$a = (4095/170) * a^* + 2048$$ + +$$b = (4095/200) * b^* + 1536$$ + +Rounding to the nearest integer is performed. If L, a, and b fall outside the range [0, 4095], they are truncated to 0 or 4095 as appropriate. + +These are also the default values, and aligned to the following gamut range: + +$$L^* = [0, 100]$$ + +$$a^* = [-85, 85]$$ + +$$b^* = [-75, 125]$$ + +Other values are non-basic value. + +The basic illuminant is "CIE Illuminant D50 and its perfectly diffuse reflecting white point ( $X_0 = 96.422$ , $Y_0 = 100.000$ , $Z_0 = 82.521$ )". It is also the default value. Non-basic values are for further study. + +Bits per colour component attribute defines the number of bits used to represent each colour component of the image. Bits per colour component of gray-scale image is represented by three integers such as (8,0,0), that means $L^*$ is 8 bits and other components are not present. Bits per colour components of colour image are represented by three positive integers such as (8,8,8) that means $L^*$ , $a^*$ and $b^*$ are 8 bits. + +The basic and default value is 8 bits gray-scale. The optional values are 12 bits gray-scale, 8 bits colour, and 12 bits colour. The 12 bits colour is an optional feature of 8 bits colour. If the receiver indicates the 12 bits color, it shall manage the 8 bits colour and 12 bits gray-scale. + +Implementation of more than twelve bits is for further study. + +## **B.5 Definition of the document application profile** + +### **B.5.1 Overview** + +The document architecture level is defined in 6.1.1. + +The content architecture level is raster graphics formatted content architecture level as it is defined in Table 5 and Table B.3. + +The coding method to be used is Recommendation T.81 (JPEG) encoding method, provided that it is indicated in the document profile. Application of Recommendation T.82 (JBIG) is for further study. + +The document profile level used in this document application profile is defined in Table B.1. Every document interchanged in accordance with this document application profile must include a document profile. Every non-basic and additional attribute value used in a document must be indicated in the document profile. + +The interchange format class used in this document application profile is "B", as defined in Recommendation T.415. + +Document structure, the attributes applicable to layout components, and the allowable attribute values for object descriptions are defined in Table 3. + +### **B.5.2 Content architecture for continuous-tone image** + +The following raster graphics content architecture level is used in this document application profile. + +#### **B.5.2.1 Raster graphic content architecture level** + +The type of coding to be used is as defined in Recommendation T.81 (JPEG). + +Its use is agreed by prior negotiation and is indicated in the document profile. + +The presentation attributes that may be used are defined in 6.4.1. + +#### **B.5.2.2 Coding attributes** + +Attributes applicable to content portions are defined in Tables B.3 and B.4. + +A continuous-tone colour raster graphic content is coded by T.81 encodings. Recommendation T.81 is the permissible value. + +For T.81 encoding, basic value is baseline mode with transmitted quantization and Huffman tables. Other modes, for example, extended sequential DCT, progressive DCT, Spatial lossless and using Arithmetic coding for entropy coding, are optional. The usage of this T.81 encoding is shown in B.8. + +The transmission of quantization and Huffman tables is mandatory. The attribute, "use of preferred Huffman table" is provided to indicate to the receiver that the preferred Huffman tables are used. In this case, the use of the preferred Huffman tables is indicated, the receiver can use the pre-installed preferred Huffman tables. Receiver must recognize Restart marker code and work appropriately. Hierarchical mode is for further study. + +## **B.6 Definition of the document application profile for soft-copy communication** + +For further study. + +## **B.7 Preferred Huffman tables for T.81 encoding** + +The preferred Huffman tables are Tables K.3/T.81 to K.6/T.81. + +## **B.8 JPEG data structure on continuous-tone image** + +### **B.8.1 Overview** + +JPEG data consists of Marker Codes, Frame Header, Scan Header and Compressed image data. In order to simplify Colour Facsimile Standard, Baseline JPEG and, optionally, certain JPEG extensions are supported. This subclause gives a description of the JPEG data structure. + +### **B.8.2 Marker classification** + +- 1) Encoder shall insert these Markers + +Decoder shall be able to carry out a corresponding process to these Marker segments: + +SOI, APP1, DQT, DHT, SOF0, SOS, EOI + +- 2) Encoder may insert this Marker without negotiation + +Decoder should be able to carry out a corresponding process to these Marker segments: + +DRI, RSTn, DNL + +- 3) Encoder may insert this Marker without negotiation + +Decoder should be able to skip these Marker segments and continue decoding process: + +COM, APPn (n not 1) + +- 4) Encoder may insert this Marker when Decoder has the ability to carry out a process corresponding to these Marker segments: (Negotiation is necessary) + +SOFn (n not 0) + +### **B.8.3 Definition of the APP markers defined for Group 4 Colour Fax** + +The application marker APP1 will initiate identification of the image as a G4FAX application and define the spatial resolution. This code appears directly after the SOI marker. The data format is as follows: + +X'FFE1'(APP1), length, G4FAX identifier, version, spatial resolution + +The above terms are defined as follows: + +- *Length:* (2 octets) Total APP1 field octet count including the octet count itself, but excluding the APP1 marker. +- *FAX identifier:* (6 octets) X'47', X'34', X'46', X'41', X'58', X'00'. This X'00'-terminated string "G4FAX" uniquely identifies this APP1 marker. +- *Version:* (2 octets) X'07CA'. This string specifies the year of approval of the standard, for identification in the case of future revision (for example, 1994). +- *Spatial resolution:* (2 octets) Lightness pixel density in pels/25.4 mm. The basic value is 200. Allowed values are 200, 240, 300, 400, 600 and 1200. + +This is an example of the string including the SOI and APP1 codes for a baseline JPEG encoded 1994 G4FAX application at 200 pels/25.4 mm: + +X'FFD8', X'FFE1', X'000C', X'47', X'34', X'46', X'41', X'58', X'00', X'07CA', X'00C8' + +#### B.8.3.1 FAX option identifier – G4FAX1 for gamut range + +X'FFE1' (APP1), length, G4FAX option identifier, gamut range data + +The above terms are defined as follows: + +- *Length:* (2 octets) Total APP1 field octet count including the octet count itself, but excluding the APP1 marker. +- *FAX identifier:* (6 octets) X'47', X'34', X'46', X'41', X'58', X'01'. This X'01'-terminated string "G4FAX" uniquely identifies this APP1 marker as containing FAX information about optional gamut range data. (The FAX option identifiers are referred to as G4FAX1–G4FAX255, meaning the octet-terminated string, "G4FAX", X'nn'.) +- *Gamut range data:* (12 octets) The data field contains six two-octet signed integers. For example: X'0064' represents 100. The calculation from a real value $L^*$ to an eight bit value, $L$ , is made as follows; + +$$L = (255/Q) * L^* + P$$ + +where the first integer of the first pair, $P$ , contains the offset of the zero point in $L^*$ in the eight most significant bits. The second integer of the first pair, $Q$ , contains the span of the gamut range in $L^*$ . Rounding to the nearest integer is performed. The second pair contains offset and range values for $a^*$ . The third pair contains offset and range values for $b^*$ . If the image is gray-scale ( $L^*$ only), the field still contains six integers, but the last four integers are ignored. + +NOTE – This representation is in accord with Recommendation T.42. when the twelve bits/pel/component option is used, the range and offset are represented as above in eight bits. These represent the eight most significant bits of the zero-padded twelve-bit number in the offset, and the eight-bit integer range data as above. Appropriately higher precision calculation should be used. + +For example, the gamut range $L^* = [0, 100]$ , $a^* = [-85, 85]$ , and $b^* = [-75, 125]$ would be selected by the code: + +X'FFE1', X'0014', X'47', X'34', X'46', X'41' X'58', X'01', X'0000', X'0064', X'0080', X'00AA', X'0060', X'00C8' + +#### B.8.3.2 FAX option identifier – G4FAX2 for illuminant data + +X'FFE1' (APP1), length, G4FAX option identifier, illuminant data. This option is for further study with the exception of the default case; the specification of the default illuminant, CIE Illuminant D50, may be added for information. + +- *Length:* (2 octets) Total APP1 field octet count including the octet count itself, but excluding the APP1 marker. +- *FAX identifier:* (6 octets) X'47', X'34', X'46', X'41', X'58', X'02'. This X'02'-terminated string "G4FAX" uniquely identifies this APP1 marker as containing optional illuminant data. +- *Illuminant data:* (4 octets) The data consist of a four-octet code identifying the illuminant. In the case of a CIE standard illuminant, the four-octet code is one of the following: + - CIE Illuminant D50: X'00', X'44', X'35', X'30' + - CIE Illuminant D65: X'00', X'44', X'36', X'35' + - CIE Illuminant D75: X'00', X'44', X'37', X'35' + - CIE Illuminant SA: X'00', X'00', X'53', X'41' + - CIE Illuminant SC: X'00', X'00', X'53', X'43' + - CIE Illuminant F2: X'00', X'00', X'46', X'32' + - CIE Illuminant F7: X'00', X'00', X'46', X'37' + - CIE Illuminant F11: X'00', X'46', X'31', X'31' + +In the case of a colour temperature alone, the four-octet code consists of the string "CT", followed by the temperature of the source in degrees K represented by an unsigned two-octet integer. For example, a 7500 K illuminant is indicated by the code: + +X'FFE1', X'000C', X'47', X'34', X'46', X'41', X'58', X'02', X'43', X'54', X'1D4C' + +#### B.8.3.3 Future option identifiers – G4FAX3 to G4FAX255 + +In addition to the G4FAX1 and G4FAX2 identifiers used for specifying optional parameters, the identifiers from G4FAX3 to G4FAX255 are to be reserved for future use. + +### B.8.4 Example of JPEG data structure for a 4:1:1 subsampled baseline mode + +| | | +|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| SOI | (start of image marker) | +| APP1, Lp | (application marker one, marker segment length) | +| Api | (application data octets: "G4FAX", X'00', X'07CA' (version), X'00C8' (200 dpi)) | +| (APP1, Lp) | ((application marker one, marker segment length) | +| Api | (application data octets: "G4FAX", X'01', X'0000', X'0064', X'0080', X'00AA', X'0060', X'00C8' (gamut range))) | +| (COM, Lc, Cmi) | (comment marker, marker segment length, comment octets) | +| DHT, Lh | (define Huffman table marker, Huffman table length definition) | +| Tc, Th | (table class Tc = 0 for DC, destination identifier Th = 0 for L*) | +| Li, Vij | (number of codes for each of the 16-allowed code lengths, code values) | +| Tc, Th | (table class Tc = 1 for AC, destination identifier Th = 0 for L*) | +| Li, Vij | (number of codes for each of the 16-allowed code lengths, code values) | +| Tc, Th | (table class Tc = 0 for DC, destination identifier Th = 1 for a*, b*) | +| Li, Vij | (number of codes for each of the 16-allowed code lengths, code values) | +| Tc, Th | (table class Tc = 1 for AC, destination identifier Th = 1 for a*, b*) | +| Li, Vij | (number of codes for each of the 16-allowed code lengths, code values) | +| DQT, Lq | (define quantization table marker, quantization table length definition) | +| Pq, Tq | (element precision Pq = 0 for 8 bit, destination identifier Tq = 0 for lightness) | +| Qk | (64 quantization table elements for quantization table 0 (lightness)) | +| Pq, Tq | (element precision Pq = 0 for 8 bit, destination identifier Tq = 1 for chrominance) | +| Qk | (64 quantization table elements for quantization table 1 (chrominance)) | +| (DRI, Lr, Ri) | (define restart interval marker, marker segment length, restart interval in MCUs) | +| SOF0, Lf | (Start of frame marker for baseline, frame header length) | +| P, Y, X | (sample precision P = 8, number of lines Y, number of samples per line X) | +| Nf | (number of image components Nf = 3 for colour) | +| C1 | (component identifier C1 = 0 for L* component) | +| H1, V1 | (horizontal and vertical sampling factors: H1 = 2, V1 = 2 for L* in colour 4:1:1) | +| Tq1 | (quantization table selector: Tq1 = 0) | +| C2 | (component identifier C2 = 1 for a* component) | +| H2, V2 | (horizontal and vertical sampling factors: H2 = 1, V2 = 1 for a* in colour 4:1:1) | + +| | | +|--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Tq2 | (quantization table selector: Tq2 = 1) | +| C3 | (component identifier C3 = 2 for b* component) | +| H3, V3 | (horizontal and vertical sampling factors: H3 = 1, V3 = 1 for b* in colour 4:1:1) | +| Tq3 | (quantization table selector: Tq3 = 1) | +| SOS, Ls, Ns | (Start of scan marker, scan header length, number of components Ns = 3 for colour) | +| Cs1 | (scan component selector Cs1 = 0 for L*) | +| Td1, Ta1 | (DC entropy coding table selector Td1 = 0, AC table selector Ta1 = 0 for L*) | +| Cs2 | (scan component selector Cs2 = 1 for a*) | +| Td2, Ta2 | (DC entropy coding table selector Td2 = 1, AC table selector Ta2 = 1 for a*) | +| Cs3 | (scan component selector Cs3 = 2 for b*) | +| Td3, Ta3 | (DC entropy coding table selector Td3 = 1, AC table selector Ta3 = 1 for b*) | +| Ss, Se | (Ss = 0 for sequential DCT, Se = 63 for sequential DCT) | +| Ah, Al | (Ah = 0 for sequential DCT, Al = 0 for sequential DCT) | +| Scan data | (compressed image data) | +| (with RSTn) | (restart marker between image data segments, with n = 0-7 repeating in sequence) | +| (DNL, Ld, Y) | (define number of lines marker, marker segment length, number of lines) | +| EOI | (End of Image Marker) | + +NOTE – Parentheses around a marker indicate the marker is classified to (2), (3) or (4). + +### B.8.5 Scan data structure + +The scan data of the baseline mode consists of block interleaved L\*, a\*, and b\* data. Blocks are entropy-encoded DCT-transformed $8 \times 8$ arrays of image data from a single image component. The L\*, a\* and b\* components are assigned indices zero, one, and two respectively in the frame header. When a gray-scale image is transmitted, only the L\* component is represented in the data structure. The number of image components is either one (for a gray-scale image) or three (for a colour image). + +The data are block-interleaved when a colour image is transmitted, and only one scan is contained within the image data. The blocks are organized in minimum coding units (MCU) such that an MCU contains a minimum integral number of all image components. The interleaving has the following form in the default (4:1:1) subsampling case, as defined in A.2.3/T.81. In this case an MCU consists of four blocks of L\* data, one block of a\* data, and one block of b\* data. The data are ordered L\*, L\*, L\*, L\*, a\*, b\* in the MCU. The four L\* blocks proceed in the same scan order as the page: left to right and top to bottom. Therefore the L\* blocks are transmitted first upper left, then upper right, then lower left, then lower right. + +### B.8.6 Subsampling method + +The default (4:1:1) subsampling is specified as a four-tap symmetric filter. Thus a\* and b\* are computed from non-sampled data by averaging the four values of chrominance at the lightness locations. The location of the subsampled chrominance pixel is shown in Figure B.1. + +![](5445597cceefaca1ac89e710fe339325_img.jpg) + +| | | +|----------|----------| +| X      X | X      X | +| O | O | +| X      X | X      X | +| X      X | X      X | +| O | O | +| X      X | X      X | + +X Represents lightness pel centre +O Represents chrominance pel centre + +**Figure B.1/T.503 – Position of lightness and chrominance samples (4:1:1 subsampling) within the MCUs** + +**Table B.1/T.503 – Document profile attributes** + +| Attribute | Class | Permissible value | Default | +|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------|-------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| +| Document profile descriptor | M | | | +| Specific layout structure | m | Present | – | +| Document characteristics | M | | | +| Document application profile | m | Group 4 fax colour extension (Note) | – | +| Document architecture class | m | Formatted | – | +| Non-basic document characteristics | M | | | +| Type of coding | m | JPEG (T.81) | | +| Page dimensions | nm | (Table 1) | ISO A4

Other functional descriptions are specified in this Recommendation. + +### C.4.2 Colour representation and encoding methods + +Three image types are used for this document application profile, namely, one bit per colour RGB/CMY(K) image, palettized colour image, and continuous-tone colour/gray-scale image. These images are encoded by the lossless coding scheme defined in Recommendation T.82 (JBIG). Colour representation, bit-plane decomposition and coding schemes of these types of images are defined in Recommendations T.43 and T.42. + +#### **C.4.2.1 One bit per colour CMY(K) or RGB image** + +This type of image is expressed by the precision of 1 bit/colour component using CMY(K) or RGB colour primaries. For this type of image, it is considered to be more desirable to map each colour onto one of the primary colours of receiver's side, rather than trying to reproduce the original colour by sending the coordinates in CIELAB space. The detailed specification for this mode such as colour transmission order is defined in Recommendation T.43. + +In one bit per colour image using three or four primaries [CMY(K) or RGB], 8 or 16 kinds of colours can be expressed. The colour representation is defined in Tables C.1/T.43 to C.3/T.43. Encoders can encode using either 3 or 4 bit-planes, and decoders shall support both 3 and 4 bit-planes. The bits per colour component attribute value of this mode shall be (1,1,1,1). + +#### **C.4.2.2 Palettized colour image** + +In this type of image, the colour image is expressed by colour indices of the palette table, in which each entry is expressed by the combination of three values of CIELAB colour components defined in Recommendation T.42. The number of indices of palettized colour is classified into two classes: 12 bits or less indices and up to 16 bits indices. Each colour component value precision is also classified into two classes, 8 bits/component precision and 12 bits/component precision. + +The resultant coding sub-mode of palettized colour image is classified into two classes by the combination of these two parameters. The first one is basic palettized colour sub-mode, in which the number of indices of palettized colour is 12 bits or less and colour co-ordinate precision is 8 bits/component. The other is the extended palettized colour sub-mode, in which either the number of indices of palettized colour is 13 to 16 bits and 8 bits/component precision table or 16 bits or less and 12 bits/component precision table. A more detailed specification for the palettized colour image is defined in Recommendation T.43. + +#### **C.4.2.3 Continuous-tone colour and gray-scale image** + +In this type of image, the colour image is represented by CIELAB colour space specified in Recommendation T.42, and the gray-scale image is represented by only L\* component of CIELAB colour space specified in Recommendation T.42. Two classes are specified for its data precision: 8 bits or less per component and 9 to 12 bits/component precision. In order to obtain high encoding efficiency, Gray code conversion is applied for this type of image in bit-plane coding. Detailed coding specification for this type of image is defined in Recommendation T.43. + +### **C.4.3 Coding mode classification** + +As described above, the three types of image are further divided into 7 coding sub-mode classes as shown in Table C.1. However, for the sake of easy negotiation, the supporting rule for coding sub-mode classes are established as described in Table C.2, in which two coding mode classes are defined for colour and gray-scale modes respectively. + +## **C.5 Definition of the document application profile** + +### **C.5.1 Overview** + +The document architecture level is defined as in this Recommendation. + +The content architecture level is raster graphics formatted content architecture level. In this annex, it is defined in Table 5 and Table C.3. + +The coding scheme to be used is defined in Recommendation T.43 in which Recommendation T.82 (JBIG) coding method is used for lossless coding. It is indicated as Recommendation T.43 in the document profile. + +The document profile level used in this document application profile is defined in Table C.3. Every document interchanged in accordance with this document application profile must include a document profile. Every non-basic and additional attribute value used in a document must be indicated in the document profile. + +The interchange format class used in this document application profile is "B", as defined in Recommendation T.415. + +Document structure, the attributes applicable to layout components, and the allowable attribute values for object descriptions are defined in Table C.3. + +**Table C.1/T.503 – Image mode and bits per colour component attribute** + +| Image type | Coding sub-mode class | Image specification | Number of bit-planes to be coded | +|--------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| One bit per colour image | One bit per colour image | One bit per colour image using RGB or CMY(K) primaries | CMYK image: 4 bit-planes

Telecommunication Union (ITU). CCITT is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. + +The Plenary Assembly of CCITT which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study and approves Recommendations prepared by its Study Groups. The approval of Recommendations by the members of CCITT between Plenary Assemblies is covered by the procedure laid down in CCITT Resolution No. 2 (Melbourne, 1988). + +Recommendation revised T.51 was revised by Study Group VIII and was approved under the Resolution No. 2 procedure on the 18 September 1992. + +## --- CCITT NOTES + +- 1) In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration” is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized private operating agency. +- 2) A list of abbreviations used in this Recommendation can be found in Annex C. + +## Recommendation T.51 + +# LATIN BASED CODED CHARACTER SETS FOR TELEMATIC SERVICES + +*(Malaga-Torremolinos, 1984; Amended at Melbourne 1988; +revised 1992)* + +## 1 Scope + +### 1.1 The CCITT, + +*considering* + +(a) the increasing interdependence of the various CCITT character sets and coding schemes in various telematic services; + +(b) the introduction of new facilities such as code conversion and interworking between various telematic services; + +(c) the advantage of having a single unified repertoire and coding of Latin based character set in a Recommendation to act as a reference for the telematic services; + +(d) that Recommendations T.61 and T.100/T.101 define the character coding systems for teletex and videotex; + +(e) that Recommendation T.50 specifies the International Reference Version (IRV) of the 7-bit coded character set, + +*provides the following Recommendation as a reference document* + +towards which the Latin based portion of the coded character sets of telematic services should migrate and from which coded character subsets and elements of code extension mechanisms can be derived for individual telematic services. + +1.2 This Recommendation specifies a primary set and a 96-character supplementary set of graphic characters. When various telematic services restrict their primary and supplementary sets to be respective subsets of those given in this Recommendation, it will be ensured that no code position in any of the specified code tables is assigned more than one meaning within different telematic services. 94-character subsets of the supplementary code table can be found in Recommendations of specific telematic services, i.e., in Recommendations T.61 and T.101. + +1.3 This Recommendation gives the escape sequences for designating the primary and supplementary sets of graphic characters, to be used according to the code extension techniques specified. + +1.4 Non-Latin based character sets are to be dealt with in Recommendation T.52. + +1.5 This Recommendation describes those code extension mechanisms that are relevant to existing telematic services. Additional mechanisms will be included in this Recommendation as the need for such is identified for one or more telematic services. The purpose of this Recommendation is to include an up-to-coding systems in various telematic services. + +1.6 In this Recommendation 7-bit code tables are described which can be used either in a 7-bit or in an 8-bit environment, with applicable code extension mechanisms that are given in other Recommendations specific to given telematic services. + +1.7 This Recommendation gives a unified superset of the repertoire of Latin based alphanumeric characters (see Annex A). + +1.8 This Recommendation gives a table of character and control sets used in CCITT telematic services (see Annex B). + +1.9 There is no conformance clause in this Recommendation specifying the mandatory and optional subsets of code extension mechanisms and coded character sets. Conformance requirements will be the subject of other CCITT Recommendations specific to particular telematic services. + +## 2 Graphic character sets + +### 2.1 *Primary set* + +2.1.1 The primary set of graphic characters specified in Figure 1/T.51 is identical with the set of graphic characters of the International Reference Version (IRV) of the 7-bit coded character set of Recommendation T.50. + +2.1.2 The primary set is designated as G0 by the sequence ESC 2/8 4/2. It can also be alternatively designated as G1, G2 or G3 by the sequences ESC 2/9 4/2, ESC 2/10 4/2 or ESC 2/11 4/2 respectively.

They are all diacritical marks. + +*Note 2* – Cross-shaded code positions are reserved for future standardization by the CCITT. + +*Note 3* – Terminals used for current CCITT defined telematic services may send and receive the codes 2/6 and 2/4 of the supplementary set for the NUMBER SIGN and DOLLAR SIGN, respectively. When receiving codes 2/3 and 2/4 from the primary set of graphic characters, terminals may interpret them as # and ¢ respectively. Future applications in telematic services should code the NUMBER SIGN, CURRENCY SIGN and DOLLAR SIGN in accordance with Figures 1/T.51 and 2/T.51. + +*Note 4* – Terminals used for CCITT defined telematic services should send only the codes 4/1 of the supplementary set followed by SPACE for a stand-alone grave accent, 4/3 of the supplementary set followed by SPACE for a stand-alone circumflex accent, and 4/4 of the supplementary set followed by SPACE for a stand-alone tilde. Whenever a telematic terminal is capable of receiving and interpreting codes 6/0, 5/14 and 7/14 from the primary set of graphic characters, terminals shall interpret them as GRAVE, CIRCUMFLEX and TILDE respectively. + +*Note 5* – This code position is reserved and shall not be used. + +*Note 6* – Current telematic services may interpret this as the non-spacing underline. The non-spacing underline character is never used individually but always in combination with some other graphic character to represent the graphic rendition “underlined” for the associated character. The non-spacing underline character can be used in combination with any graphic character of the repertoire, including an accented letter or an umlaut, or space. It is recommended to implement the “underline” function by means of the control function SGR(4) instead of the “non-spacing underline” graphic character. However, both must be correctly interpreted when received. + +| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----|----------------|---|---|-----------------|---|---|----------------|----------------|----------------| +| | | | | | b 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +| | | | | | b 6 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | +| | | | | | b 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | +| | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | +| b 4 | b 3 | b 2 | b 1 | | | | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | 0 | @ | P | ‘ ④ | p | +| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | | | ! | 1 | A | Q | a | q | +| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | | | | " | 2 | B | R | b | r | +| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | | | | # ③ | 3 | C | S | c | s | +| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | | | | \$ ③ | 4 | D | T | d | t | +| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5 | | | | % | 5 | E | U | e | u | +| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | | | | & | 6 | F | V | f | v | +| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 | | | | ' | 7 | G | W | g | w | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | | | | ( | 8 | H | X | h | x | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | | | | ) | 9 | I | Y | i | y | +| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 10 | | | | * | : | J | Z | j | z | +| 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 11 | | | | + | ; | K | [ | k | { | +| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 12 | | | | , | < | L | \ | l | | +| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 13 | | | | – | = | M | ] | m | } | +| 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 14 | | | | . | > | N | ^ ④ | n | ~ ④ | +| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 15 | | | | / | ? | O | _ | o | | + +T0811620-93 + +*Note* – Notes to this figure are contained in § 2.2.4. + +FIGURE 1/T.51 + +**The primary set of graphic characters for telematic services** +(coded representation when invoked in columns 2-7 of the code table) + +| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----|----------------|---|---|------|---|---|---|----|-----| +| | | | | | b 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | +| | | | | | b 6 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | +| | | | | | b 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | +| | | | | | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | +| b 4 | b 3 | b 2 | b 1 | | | | | | | | | | | +| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | NBSP | ° | ⑤ | — | Ω | K | +| 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | | | I | ± | ‘ | ¹ | Æ | æ | +| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | | | | ¢ | ² | ⁄ | ® | Ð | ð | +| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | | | | £ | ³ | ^ | © | à | ä | +| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | | | | ③ | x | ~ | ™ | Ĥ | ĥ | +| 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 5 | | | | ¥ | μ | — | ♪ | ② | ı | +| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 | | | | ③ | ¶ | ˘ | ˘ | IJ | ij | +| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 | | | | § | · | · | · | Ł | ł | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | | | | ¤ | ÷ | ¨ | ② | Ł | ł | +| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 9 | | | | ‘ | ’ | ⑤ | ② | Ø | ø | +| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 10 | | | | “ | ” | ° | ② | Œ | œ | +| 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 11 | | | | « | » | ‚ | ② | Œ | œ | +| 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 12 | | | | ← | ¼ | ⑥ | ⅛ | þ | þ | +| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 13 | | | | ↑ | ½ | ″ | ⅜ | ƒ | ƒ | +| 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 14 | | | | → | ¾ | ˘ | ⅝ | Ŋ | ŋ | +| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 15 | | | | ↓ | ¿ | ˘ | ⅞ | ˘n | SHY | + +① | T0811630-93 + +Note – Notes to this figure are contained in § 2.2.4. + +FIGURE 2/T.51 +The supplementary set of graphic characters for telematic services +(coded representation when invoked in columns 2-7 of the code table) + +## **3 Code extension technique** + +### *3.1 General* + +3.1.1 Code extension techniques are required for the designation of various graphic or control character sets and their invocation in the 7-bit set or 8-bit set in use.

This is performed by the use of either locking-shift functions or non-locking shift functions listed in Table 4/T.51. Coding for these functions is given in Table 5/T.51. + +#### 3.5.1 *Use of locking-shift functions* + +There are seven locking-shift functions as given in Tables 4/T.51 and 5/T.51. A locking-shift function invokes the relevant G0, G1, G2 or G3 set into columns 2 to 7 or into columns 10 to 15 (8-bit code only) in order to replace the previously invoked G-set. The occurrence of a locking-shift function shall not affect those bit combinations that are included in any escape sequence or those that follow single-shift function SS2 or SS3. If a particular set has already been invoked, use of the corresponding locking-shift function has no effect. + +#### 3.5.2 *Use of single-shift functions* + +The single-shift function SS2 shall invoke one character from the last designated G2 set. Similarly SS3 shall invoke one character from the last designated G3 set. In the case of using single-byte graphic sets, these invocations alter the meaning of the immediately following bit combination only and ascribe to it the meaning of the corresponding bit combination of the G2 or G3 set. The bit combination permitted to follow SS2 or SS3 is limited to one from columns 2 to 7. If a single-shift function is used to invoke a character from a multiple-byte set, the shift function will affect two or more bit-combinations to represent that character. The use of a single-shift function does not affect the current shift status established by a locking-shift function. + +TABLE 3/T.51 + +### **Types of character sets** + +| Description | Character set | Designation sequence | Bit combinations | | +|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------|----------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| +| | | | 7-bit environment | 8-bit environment | +| Sets of 32 control characters (Note 1) | C0

The system is shown in Figure A-1/T.51. + +Each identifier consists of two letters and two digits. + +The first letter indicates the alphabet, the language, etc. + +The second letter indicates the letter of an alphabet or, in the case of a non-alphabetic graphic character or a control function, the group of characters or control functions. + +The first digit indicates whether the letter in the second position is an accented one, whether the diacritical mark is above or below the letter, etc. It has no special meaning in the case of the first letter being a C, N or S. + +The second digit indicates whether the letter is a capital or a small (even or odd). If the first letter is a C, N or S, this digit being even or odd has no significance. + +The numbering is used in a consistent manner so that each diacritical mark is always given the same number. + +The numbering principle is shown in Table A-1/T.51. + +TABLE A-1/T.51 + +**Numbering principle for alphabetic characters** + +| Item | Small | Capital | +|--------------------------|--------------|--------------| +| No diacritical mark | 01 | 02 | +| Acuse accent | 11 | 12 | +| Grave accent | 13 | 14 | +| Circumflex accent | 15 | 16 | +| Diaeresis or umlaut mark | 17 | 18 | +| Tilde | 19 | 20 | +| Caron | 21 | 22 | +| Breve | 23 | 24 | +| Double acute accent | 25 | 26 | +| Ring | 27 | 28 | +| Dot | 29 | 30 | +| Macron | 31 | 32 | +| Cedilla | 41 | 42 | +| Ogonek | 43 | 44 | +| Diphthong or ligature | 51 | 52 | +| Special form | 61, 63, etc. | 62, 64, etc. | + +![A hierarchical tree diagram showing the identification system for alphanumeric characters.

These operations are the unconfirmed type of manipulation. + +**5.2** This profile defines the communication model which consists of the local host DTAM user and the external host DTAM user as illustrated in Figure 1. Either the LH or the EH is capable of managing the initiation and termination of application-association.

In this profile, these operations do effect addition, deletion or modification of constituent to a document which existed identically between both hosts. + +**5.5** When the data token belongs to the LH DTAM user, only modify operations on operational structure are allowed to be used by the LH DTAM user. On the other hand, the EH DTAM user is able to use all of the operations defined in DTAM when it has the data token. + +# 6 Basic communication requirements for DM-1 + +DM-1 is defined under the following OSI communication environment.

The DTAM application-association may also be abruptly terminated by either the LH or the EH DTAM user or provider using the appropriate DTAM abort services. + +## **7.4 Data transmission** + +### **7.4.1 General** + +Videotex gateway application provides the following communication functions in the data transmission phase: + +- 1) manipulation of display information; +- 2) manipulation of data entry information; +- 3) manipulation of application control memory information; +- 4) manipulation of special terminal facilities information; +- 5) manipulation of administrative information; +- 6) exchange of over limit information (for further study); +- 7) transmission of asynchronous message. + +### **7.4.2 Manipulation of display information** + +Display is performed by VIA operations, defined in Recommendation T.564, initiated by the external host on the display structure. + +To perform VIA operations on the display structure the EH uses D-CREATE, D-MODIFY, D-DELETE or D-CALL service primitives under data token control. + +### **7.4.3 Manipulation of data entry information** + +#### **7.4.3.1 General** + +Recommendation T.564 defines the following four types of data entry: + +- 1) data entry type 1 – information retrieval; +- 2) data entry type 2 – data collection; +- 3) data entry type 3 – data entry on the fly; +- 4) data entry type 4 – duplex data entry. + +These data entry types are categorized into half duplex mode (data entry type 1, 2 and 3) and duplex mode (data entry type 4). + +The EH may use D-CREATE, D-MODIFY, D-DELETE, D-CALL to perform VIA operations on each structure element of the data entry structure, except modifying the RESULT-SE and its associated content portion. + +*Half duplex mode* of data entry provides the dialogues between the LH and the EH under the data token control. Data entry is performed from the LH by VIA operations via DTAM manipulation (D-MODIFY) on the data entry structure. In this case the EH should give the data token to the LH to perform data entry. + +*Duplex mode* of data entry is not dependent upon the token control. Data entry is performed from the LH by the use of typed data and the data token is always located at the EH side. + +#### **7.4.3.2 Management of data entry mode** + +The management of the data entry modes is bound to the following rule: + +- i) The LH issues the parameter of “data entry mode” to indicate the data entry capabilities at the LH side in the DTAM association establishment phase. This parameter is a choice of + - a) half duplex mode + - b) duplex mode and + - c) half duplex and duplex modes. +- ii) the EH recognizes the capabilities of data entry mode which is capable to be managed by the LH. It is not necessary to inform the LH of the EH capabilities of the data entry mode; +- iii) if the LH indicates the only half duplex mode and selects the application based on the duplex mode, the EH may refuse to connect with the selected application from the LH; +- iv) if the LH indicates the only duplex mode and selects the application based on the half duplex mode, the EH may refuse to connect with the selected application from the LH; +- v) if the LH indicates both modes, all the applications based on the half duplex or duplex modes are available to the LH. + +#### **7.4.3.3 Operation of data entry in half duplex mode (type 1, 2, 3)** + +In data entry type 1 or 3, the entered data are sent from the LH to the EH using D-MODIFY for the RESULT-SE and the content portion associated to the RESULT-SE. In data entry type 2, the entered data are sent from the LH to the EH using D-MODIFY for the RESULT-SE and the content portions associated with the entered fields and the RESULT-SE (if necessary). + +The EH gives the token to the LH to enable the LH to send the entered data. + +The LH gives the token to the EH after having completed the data entry (i.e. after having initiated the appropriate D-MODIFY corresponding to the SEs concerned with data entry). Examples are given in Figures 2 and 3. + +#### **7.4.3.4 Operation of data entry in duplex mode (type 4)** + +When the data entry type attribute of the DATA-ENTRY-PROGRAM-SE is set the data entry type 4, the LH sends the entered data and the termination reason in D-TYPED-DATA with the termination reason associated. The data token remains assigned to the EH. An example is given in Figure 4. + +When the EH resets the data entry type attribute to another type (1, 2 or 3) under the condition that both modes are available at the LH, the LH stops sending data in D-TYPED-DATA and uses again D-MODIFY to send the entered data. The EH ignores the possible colliding D-TYPED-DATA. + +![Sequence diagram for data entry in type 1 or 3 (half duplex).](a5ee5c23b6dc52ec1d724b76d5a5f58f_img.jpg) + +This sequence diagram illustrates the communication flow for data entry in type 1 or 3 (half duplex).

This procedure may be used for the transmission of warning message indicating the warning from the EH and for the transmission of the user entered data in data entry type 4 from the LH. + +#### 8.4.3.2 Service primitives used + +The following D-TYPED-DATA service primitives, defined in Recommendation T.432, are used: + +- D-TYPED-DATA request; +- D-TYPED-DATA indication. + +#### 8.4.3.3 D-TYPED-DATA service parameters + +This is the octet string information which represents the following ViTypedData: + +``` +ViTypedData ::= CHOICE { + asyncMessage [0] IMPLICIT INTEGER + { + warnTimeout 0), + serviceClose1Minute (1), + serviceClose5Minutes (2) }, + -- Other values are for further study. + entryResponse 1] IMPLICIT EntryResponse } +entryResponse ::= SEQUENCE { + [0] IMPLICIT Termination-Reason, + -- identical with the coding of termination reason in RESULT-SE + [1] IMPLICIT Operational-Content-Type OPTIONAL, + -- identical with the coding of operational content-type of RESULT-SE + [2] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING OPTIONAL + -- identical with operational-element-content } +``` + +### 8.4.4 Order of the VIA-DTAM manipulation + +The order of the VIA operations via DTAM manipulation (VIA-DTAM manipulation for short) is basically followed by the interchange data format defined in Recommendations T.504 and T.541. That is, in principle, VIA should be manipulated from the higher order of structure element, however, the order of display information represented by ODA and the other videotex specific information represented by operational structure is dependent of the local rule and is not defined in this Recommendation. + +The following exceptional order of the VIA-DTAM manipulation is defined: + +- a) VIA-DATM manipulation concerning data entry SE appears before all the other VIA-DTAM manipulations. +- b) All VIA-DTAM manipulations concerning REDEFINITION-ENTITY-SEs appear before all VIA-DTAM manipulations concerning BLOCK SEs. +- c) All VIA-DTAM manipulations concerning BLOCK SEs appear before all VIA-DTAM manipulations concerning FIELD SEs. + +# 9 Actions of the EH and the LH + +## 9.1 EH action + +The EH provides the videotex frame to be displayed on the user's terminal by manipulating the display structure of the VIA through DTAM manipulations. + +NOTE – Although the action of displaying information on a videotex terminal is outside the scope of this Recommendation, it is assumed in the Recommendation that: + +- 1) the display of Redefinition-Entity-SEs, Block-SEs and Field-SEs is in natural order, whereby Redefinition-Entity-SEs precede Block-SEs and Field-SEs; +- 2) only those parts of the display structure which are created or modified in a dialogue step are redisplayed in that dialogue step (i.e. deletion and recreation of Page-SE is assumed to trigger redisplay of the full screen, whereas modification of a Block-SE or Field-SE is assumed to trigger display of the new block or field content on the existing screen picture); + +- 3) deletion of a Block-SE or Field-SE has no effect on the screen; +- 4) this may result in different behaviour of the local repeat functions. + +In addition to providing the videotex frame, the EH controls the videotex dialogue by defining a data entry program to be executed by the LH. This is provided by the manipulation of the data entry structure of the VIA through DTAM manipulations. The EH may leave the data entry structure unchanged, implying reuse of the data entry program for the next dialogue step. + +If a data entry program is of the “data entry type 2: data collection”, it refers to a form made up of the fields where the user enters data. If the data entry program is of the “data entry type 1: information retrieval”, it refers to an implicit field, defined by the national videotex service of the LH, where the user enters videotex commands. + +The data entry program contains the description of the form, and it contains the reaction, called rules to userw’s input the LH has to follow. Moreover, one or two guidance messages (prompts) may be associated with each field. This message will be displayed by the LH each time user enters the field. + +## 9.2 LH action + +### 9.2.1 Report to the EH + +The user input form (if any), which may consist of one or more data input fields, is reported to the EH after execution of a data entry program together with the status of the data entry program. + +Each field of the form respectively the implicit field used for command entry is associated with a single data entry sub-program, which is executed when data is to be entered into the field. + +The data entry program is terminated implicitly by the termination of the last data entry program or explicitly by some user action. + +The report to the EH consists of: + +- a) the termination status of the data entry program; +- b) the text contents of the fields and the number of the last sub-program executed; +- c) the text contents associated with a command. + +The report is performed by the manipulation of the display structure and the data entry structure, updating field text content attributes and attributes belonging to the RESULT-SE and RESULT-Content-Portion. + +### 9.2.2 Local actions + +When a data entry program is active, some local actions may be directly supported by the LH to allow for correction of mistyping, cancel of an entry and local frame repeat for instance. Such local actions as well as the local management of user errors (e.g. entry of characters not allowed in the data entry program) are treated in the LH and not reported to the EH. + +## 9.3 List of permissible actions on VIA structure elements in both hosts + +Table 1 lists up the permissible actions on VIA structure elements for both hosts. The structure elements marked by ① are automatically generated at the association establishment phase. On the other hand, the structure elements marked by ② and ③ are generated by the EH and the LH respectively and are transmitted by the DTAM manipulation services which are indicated at the top of the row on Table 1. + +Additionally, a default value list attribute contained in the specific SEs is only defined at the stage of SE create, and is not taken into account after the creation. + +TABLE 1/T.523 + +| DTAM Manipulation VIA | D-CREATE | D-MODIFY | D-DELETE | D-CALL | +|---------------------------------------------|----------|----------|----------|--------| +| Document profile | Ⓘ | ⓔ | | | +| Display | | | | | +| Document layout root | Ⓘ | ⓔ | | | +| Page | ⓔ | ⓔ | ⓔ | | +| Block | ⓔ | ⓔ | ⓔ | | +| Content portion | ⓔ | ⓔ | ⓔ | | +| Operational profile

To avoid introducing positioning errors between the mandatory image resolutions, it is preferred that the positioning of layout objects to specified in multiples of 20 BMU. + +##### 6.1.1.2 *Paper size* + +Different physical paper sizes can be used for presentation of mixed mode information. Such paper sizes are ISO A4 paper size (210 × 297 mm), North American letter paper size (215.9 × 279.4 mm), ISO A3 paper size (297 × 420 mm), Japanese legal paper size (257 × 364 mm) and Japanese letter paper size (182 × 257 mm). + +##### 6.1.1.3 *Pages and nominal pages* + +As defined in Recommendation T.412, a page is a rectangular area used as the reference area for positioning and imaging the content of the document. The page is intended to be positioned and imaged on a unit of the presentation surface. The ideal size of the presentation surface, as assumed by the sender of a document is the nominal page. This nominal page is equal to the ideal paper sized used (see below). In this Recommendation, the page may be equal to or smaller than the nominal page of the corresponding physical paper format. + +The following nominal page are defined, showing the maximum allowed dimensions of "page" layout objects: + +- a) nominal page for the ISO A4 paper size: + - width 9 920 BMU (210 mm); + - height 14 030 BMU (297 mm); +- b) optional nominal page for the North American letter paper size: + - width 10 200 BMU (215.9 mm); + - height 13 200 BMU (279.4 mm); +- c) optional nominal page for the ISO A3 paper size: + - width 14 030 BMU (297 mm); + - height 19 840 BMU (420 mm); +- d) optional nominal page for Japanese legal paper size: + - width 12 141 BMU (257 mm); + - height 17 196 BMU (364 mm); +- e) optional nominal page for Japanese letter paper size: + - width 8 598 BMU (182 mm); + - height 12 141 BMU (257 mm). + +The pages defined above describe the presentation of text information on the specified paper sizes in both the vertical and horizontal image orientations. + +##### 6.1.1.4 *Assured reproduction area* + +Hard-copy devices must allow for the possibility of edge losses cause, for example by the optional printing of a call identification line at the receiver, by tolerances on the physical paper size, and by equipment tolerances (see Annex A of Recommendation T.60). In order to cater for these edge losses, an assured reproduction area is defined which is the rectangular area that remains one the nominal page after deducting an agreed allowance for edge losses. + +For the option of printing a call identification line, an area at the top of the page is reserved.

Communication Interface called “APPLI/COM”, providing unified access to Telefax Group 3, Telefax Group 4, telex and teletex services. + +Recommendation T.611 has been revised for clarity and to include E-mail services in general, Message Handling Systems (MHS), as described in the ITU-T X.400-series of Recommendations, in particular and File Transfer Services. + +Special consideration has been taken to assure backwards compatibility with the 1992 version of this Recommendation. + +# **PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (PCI) APPLI/COM FOR FACSIMILE GROUP 3, FACSIMILE GROUP 4, TELETEx, TELEX, E-MAIL AND FILE TRANSFER SERVICES** + +*(revised 1994)* + +# **PART I – GENERAL DESCRIPTION** + +## **1 Scope** + +This Recommendation defines the Programming Communication Interface (PCI) called “APPLI/COM”. + +The general concepts of PCIs are defined in the ITU-T Recommendation F.581 (1992). + +This PCI provides unified access to different communications services, such as telefax group 3 or other telematic services. + +This Recommendation currently specifies the access to the following telematic services: + +- Telefax group 3; +- Telefax group 4; +- Teletex; +- Telex1); +- E-Mail services; +- File transfer services. + +The principle of this interface is to exchange messages between two entities (i.e. the Local Application and the Communication Application). This Recommendation describes the structure, contents of those messages and the way to exchange them. Two message encoding schemes are defined: text based and binary structured. + +Implementing this PCI is not required to participate in a telematic service. However, use of this interface will provide binary compatibility between the above mentioned entities. As a result end-users will benefit from plug-in compatibility between products coming from different manufacturers. + +This Recommendation provides a framework for future extensions that keep functionalities consistent and upward compatible. + +To summarize, this Recommendation forms a high level API (Application Programming Interface) which shields all telecommunication peculiarities but gives powerful control and monitoring on the telecommunication activity to the application designers. + +## **2 Definitions and References** + +### **2.1 Interface Definitions** + +The following definitions apply to the interface. + +**2.1.1 communication application (CA);** A Communication Application (CA) is provided by hardware and/or software allowing to participate in standardized telecommunications services. The telecommunications services supported by this Recommendation are listed in clause 1. + +--- + +1) The access to the telex service does not include the dialogue facility. + +**2.1.2 local application (LA):** A Local Application (LA) is an application able to generate files or documents and possibly able to manage communications dialogues. Such LAs can be word processors, spread sheets, graphic editors, file editors, etc. The LA shall generate messages conforming to this Recommendation. + +**2.1.3 task data description (TDD):** A Task Data Description (TDD) describes the structure of the messages exchanged between a LA and a CA (not the way to effectively exchange them). A Request TDD describes an exchange originated by a LA towards a CA. A Response TDD describes an exchange originated by a CA towards a LA. + +**2.1.4 exchange method (EM):** The Exchange Method (EM) describes how the TDDs are exchanged between a CA and a LA. This Recommendation defines a generic Exchange Method which shall be adapted to the target operating system by the means described in this Recommendation. Local area and wide area network environments are supported by the generic Exchange Method. + +**2.1.5 CA-descriptor:** The CA-Descriptor is a collection of information concerning the use of a CA. The CA-Descriptor describes the facilities and features of a given CA so that any LA that uses that CA knows how to proceed. The CA-Descriptor is a component of the Interface Configuration Environment (ICE). + +**2.1.6 interface configuration environment (ICE):** The Interface Configuration Environment (ICE) is composed of the Master ICE and related CA-Descriptors. The Master ICE lists all CAs that can be reached from within a given LA. The aim of the ICE is to assist the LA in the selection of an appropriate CA with respect to the LA requirements. + +### 2.2 File Definitions + +This Recommendation deals with various kind of files: those interchanged between a LA and a CA and those exchanged through a telecommunications network. The following definitions are used throughout the body of this Recommendation. + +**2.2.1 transfer files:** As shown in Figure 1 the Transfer Files are those files exchanged between a LA and a CA. The format of these files (Transfer Format) is further defined in this Recommendation. + +![Diagram illustrating the distinct types of files defined by APPLI/COM. It shows the flow of files between a Local Application (LA), a Central Application (CA), and a Telecommunications network.](e1a0d046fbe7f28f5e93a47091851747_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the flow of files between three main components: a Local Application (LA), a Central Application (CA), and a Telecommunications network. The flows are categorized into two main groups: Transfer files and Transmission files. + +- Transfer files:** These are files exchanged directly between the LA and the CA. + - Outgoing file:** A file sent from the LA to the CA, represented by a cylinder with an arrow pointing right. + - Incoming file:** A file sent from the CA to the LA, represented by a cylinder with an arrow pointing left. +- Transmission files:** These are files exchanged between the CA and the Telecommunications network. + - Transmitted file:** A file sent from the CA to the network, represented by a cylinder with an arrow pointing right. + - Received file:** A file sent from the network to the CA, represented by a cylinder with an arrow pointing left. + +The diagram uses rectangles to represent the LA, CA, and Telecommunications network, and cylinders to represent the files being transferred. Arrows indicate the direction of the file flow. + +T0823360-95/d01 + +Diagram illustrating the distinct types of files defined by APPLI/COM. It shows the flow of files between a Local Application (LA), a Central Application (CA), and a Telecommunications network. + +FIGURE 1/T.611 +The distinct types of files defined by APPLI/COM + +**2.2.1.1 outgoing file:** The Outgoing File is a file that the LA transmits to the CA in order to be transmitted by the CA through a telecommunications network. The format of the file is from one of the possible Transfer Formats. + +**2.2.1.2 incoming file:** The Incoming File is a file transmitted to the LA by the CA. It generally corresponds to files received from the network. The format of the file is from one of the possible Transfer Formats. + +**2.2.1.3 transfer format:** The Transfer Format defines the structure of the Transfer Files. Depending on the telecommunication services used, some Transfer Formats are more suitable than others. The possible Transfer Formats are defined in clause 8. A Transfer Format is identified by the Convert-ID. The identification and selection of a Transfer Format is further described in 5.4.5. + +**2.2.2 transmission files:** The Transmission Files are files exchanged by a CA through the network. Figure **Error! Bookmark not defined.** depicts this. The format of these files, the Transmission Format, is defined intrinsically by the telecommunications service used. + +**2.2.2.1 transmitted file:** The Transmitted File is a file sent by the CA across a telecommunications network in a format suitable for exchange by the protocol used in the telecommunications service. + +**2.2.2.2 received file:** The Received File is a file built by the CA from information received through the telecommunications network in the format used for exchange by the protocol used in the telecommunications service. + +**2.2.2.3 transmission format:** The Transmission Format defines the structure of the Transmission Files depending on the telecommunications service used. The Transmission Format is identified by the Type-ID (see 5.4.6). + +### 2.3 References + +This Recommendation refers to the following ITU-T Recommendations: + +- Recommendation F.59, *General characteristics of the international telex service.* +- Recommendation F.60, *Operational provisions for the international telex service.* +- Recommendation F. 160, *General operational provisions for the international public facsimile services.* +- Recommendation F. 184, *Operational provisions for international facsimile service between subscriber stations with group 4 machines (telefax group 4).* +- Recommendation F. 200, *Teletex Service.* +- Recommendation F. 581, *Service Recommendation for Programming Communication Interfaces.* +- Recommendation S.1, *International telegraph alphabet No. 2.* +- Recommendation T.4, *Standardization of group 3 facsimile apparatus for document transmission.* +- Recommendation T.6, *Facsimile coding schemes and coding control functions for group 4 facsimile apparatus.* +- Recommendation T.30, *Procedures for document facsimile transmission in the general switched telephone network.* +- Recommendation T.35, *Procedure for the allocation of ITU members codes.* +- Recommendation T.50, *International Reference Alphabet.* +- Recommendation T.51, *Latin Alphabet coded character sets for Telematic services.* +- Recommendation T.52, *Non-Latin coded character sets for Telematic services.* +- Recommendation T.61, *Character repertoire and coded character sets for the international Teletex service.* + +NOTE – Recommendation T.61 has been superseded by Recommendation T.50-Series since 1993. + +- Recommendation T.62, *Control procedures for Teletex and group 4 facsimile services.* +- Recommendation T.434, *Specification of Binary File Transfer (BFT).* +- Recommendation T.500, *General overview of the T.500-Series of Recommendations.* +- Recommendation T.563, *Terminal characteristics for group 4 facsimile apparatus.* +- Recommendation T.571, *Terminal characteristics for the Telematic File Transfer within the facsimile group 4 and teletex apparatus.* +- Recommendation X.208, *Specification of Abstract Syntax Notation one (ASN.1).* +- Recommendation X.209, *Specification of Basic Encoding Rules for Abstract Syntax Notation one (ASN.1).* +- Recommendation X.400, *Series of ITU-T Recommendations for Message Handling Systems.* + +It also refers to the following International Standards: + +- ISO/IEC 639.2, *Code for the presentation of code of languages.* +- SO/IEC 9735: 1990, *Electronic Data Interchange For Administration Commerce and Transport (EDIFACT) – Application level syntax rules.* + +### 2.4 Abbreviations and Acronyms + +| | | +|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| API | Application Programming Interface | +| APPLI/COM | An Interface between Local Applications and Communication Applications | +| ASCII | American Standard Codes for Information Interchange | +| ASN.1 | Abstract Syntax Notation one as defined per ITU-T Recommendations X.208 and X.209 | +| BFT | Binary File Transfer as defined per ITU-T Recommendation T.434 | +| BNF | Backus Naur Form | +| BTM | Basic Transparent mode as defined per ITU-T Recommendation T.434 | +| CA | Communication Application | +| CIL | Call Identification Line | +| CR | Carriage return | +| CTL | Control Document;

+- Definitions; +- General principles; +- Application features; +- Classes of implementation; +- Task Data Description (TDD); +- Exchange Method; +- Incoming and outgoing files; +- Communications control – CA-Record. + +### 3.1 Extensions to this Recommendation + +To accommodate the evolution of telecommunication technologies, this Recommendation has been structured so as to accept new telecommunication services, or new options of existing telecommunication services without destroying the overall outline. + +In addition, this Recommendation provides extension mechanisms to enhance: + +- the exchange method between LAs and CAs; +- the messages (TDDs); +- the transfer formats, + +while preserving compatibility with the baseline Recommendation. + +## 4 General Principles + +The interface is guided by the following principles: + +- Be independent of computer hardware (for instance, the interface can be supported by a communications hardware or software). +- Be independent of operating systems and programming languages (the Exchange Method is the only part that depends on operating systems and programming languages). This Recommendation provides directives to achieve compatibility on the MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows and Unix operating systems. Other operating systems will be considered on demand. +- The formal description of interface messages is based on a BNF-like2) description. Various coding schemes may be used to present the interface messages. +- Be task submission oriented. +- Take into account the demand for multiple applications running on the same server as well as LAN/WAN applications. The interface can be used when several local applications and/or several communication applications are involved. +- Be extensible and flexible. + +### 4.1 Model + +The LA-CA interaction uses the client-server model as shown in Figure 2 below. + +In this context: + +- the CA is considered as a server providing some telecommunications services to the LA; +- the LA is considered as the client of a CA using the telecommunications services provided by this CA. + +Consequently: + +- as a server, the CA must comply with one of the two Functional Classes defined in clause 10, and with the Exchange Methods defined in this Recommendation; +- as a client, no constraint applies on the LA, with respect to the interface. + +As a result, the initiation of information exchange between LA and CA always belongs to the LA. The LA may choose not to be disturbed in its local work by possible events coming from the CA. + +#### 4.1.1 Role of the LA + +Regarding the interface, the LA may be functionally separated into two parts: + +- the software which generates the outgoing files and/or read the incoming files; +- the software which manages the communication. + +--- + +2) BNF Backus Naur Form. + +![Diagram illustrating the relationship between LA and CA, and Client and Server.

The table lists all TDD groups defined in this Recommendation. It specifies in particular whether a Response TDD is generated by the CA for a given Request TDD. The TDDs themselves are described in detail in clause 6. + +TABLE 1/T.611 + +#### **TDD Groups** + +| TDD Group | Response? | Comment | +|-----------|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Send | Yes if request requires one | Asks the CA to send one or more files through the network, using one telecommunications service, to a set of recipients | +| Receive | Yes | Asks the CA to retrieve an incoming file resulting from a received file. The Response TDD is filled with the incoming file location and the transfer format | +| Trace | Yes | Asks the CA to perform some action on one or a set of CA-Record(s) belonging to a specific state. The action to be performed is described inside the Trace request | +| Submit | Yes | Asks the CA to perform an action like converting a file to a specific format, printing out a file according to telecommunications service specific rules | +| Extend | Yes | Provides the possibility for extensions to the Recommendation. Can be implemented as formal changes to the Recommendation, as national or as private extensions | + +Proper operation of the interface requires the detailed description of a data definition and an interaction specification between the LA and the CA. Exchange Methods may coexist depending on the particular needs of different environments. Two methods of information exchange are defined (see clause 7): + +- one is a file exchange method which may be easily implemented over a wide range of computers and operating systems but provides lower computer throughput; +- the other is a primitive exchange method using operating system dependent mechanisms to transport information. It provides higher throughput but reduced portability. + +Therefore, the concept of Task Data Description (TDD) is introduced (see Figure 3). A TDD is an abstract data structure interchanged between LA and CA, describing a particular task that the CA must carry out or describing a CA response to one of these tasks. + +![Diagram illustrating the Task Data Description (TDD) exchange between LA (Client) and CA (Server). The LA sends a REQUEST (containing a TDD) to the CA, and the CA returns a RESPONSE (containing a TDD) to the LA.](9ae17964ddd9b814c7d905b1af2fddf2_img.jpg) + +``` + +graph LR + LA[LA +(Client)] -- REQUEST (TDD) --> CA[CA +(Server)] + CA -- RESPONSE (TDD) --> LA + +``` + +T0811880-93/d03 + +Diagram illustrating the Task Data Description (TDD) exchange between LA (Client) and CA (Server). The LA sends a REQUEST (containing a TDD) to the CA, and the CA returns a RESPONSE (containing a TDD) to the LA. + +FIGURE 3/T.611 +**Task Data Description (TDDs)** + +The TDDs are independent of the information exchange method used, in order to: + +- simplify the testing procedures; +- leave the choice of the TDD encoding method open. + +A TDD carries information about the task the LA expects the CA to do, plus all the appropriate parameters. Since the communication of these tasks follows a “client-server” model, two kinds of TDDs are actually exchanged: + +- a Request TDD generated by the LA toward the CA, describing the action to be accomplished; +- a Response TDD generated by the CA toward the LA, describing the response to a previous request. + +By construction, a LA may send many Request TDDs without waiting for the corresponding Response TDDs. Some requests are not expecting responses at all. + +A CA may manage Request TDDs in any order. + +#### 4.2.1 TDD Coding + +As described in more detail in 6.1, the TDDs may be encoded with different schemes, which are either text based or binary structured. + +#### 4.2.2 Format of Exchanged Data + +The format data are exchanged between LAs and CAs, namely the format of Outgoing and Incoming Files, shall conform to well defined coding and presentation rules. These rules are called Transfer Formats. The Transfer Formats are defined in detail in clause 8. + +### 4.3 Interface Configuration Environment (ICE) + +The Interface Configuration Environment (ICE) concept is used to identify the services offered by CAs within a computing environment and the characteristics of each individual CA. The ICE structure has two levels : + +- 1) The Master-ICE is a universally accessible file which lists all available CAs. It states how to gain access to the detailed configuration information for each CA. +- 2) The CA-Descriptor is the source of the detailed configuration information about each CA. Access to the CA-Descriptor information may be in the form of a file or be generated via dynamic methods tailored to the computing environment such as executable files, Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) or other approaches. + +Each CA has its own unique features. The CA-Descriptor provides access to a complete list of those features. The combination of the Global ICE and CA-Descriptors provides a standardized means for LAs to access original and/or extra features of CAs. Figure **Error! Bookmark not defined.** depicts the relation between the Master ICE and the CA-Descriptors. + +The ICE represents a global source for all LAs conforming to this Recommendation. The Master ICE shall contain the following header information for each CA: + +- the Services supported by the CA; +- the Exchange Method(s) supported by the CA; +- one or more Access methods for each CA-Descriptor. + +The CA-Descriptor contains at the minimum the following set of interface related configuration information: + +- the Exchange Method used to interchange TDDs between LAs and the CA; +- details of the Exchange Method (paths, buffers, entry points); +- TDD coding; +- functional Class; +- supported telecommunications services; +- CA facilities. + +![Diagram showing the relation between Master ICE and CA-Descriptor. A large box on the left contains 'Master ICE CA entry # 1', 'CA entry # 2', and 'CA entry # n'. Dashed arrows point from each entry to a corresponding box on the right: 'ICE # 1 CA descriptor', 'ICE # 2 CA descriptor', and 'ICE # n CA descriptor'.](8fbdfc3d17fb1dae7b2d8f5a287fa9fc_img.jpg) + +T0823370-95/d04 + +Diagram showing the relation between Master ICE and CA-Descriptor.

Dashed arrows point from each entry to a corresponding box on the right: 'ICE # 1 CA descriptor', 'ICE # 2 CA descriptor', and 'ICE # n CA descriptor'. + +FIGURE 4/T.611 +**Relation between Master ICE and CA-Descriptor** + +Provision of the CA-Descriptor is mandatory for any CA. Any LA may rely on information included in the Master ICE or CA-Descriptor. LAs shall not modify information contained in the Master-ICE or a CA-Descriptor. + +The Master ICE is a logical file. The syntax and format of the Master-ICE and the CA-Descriptor is described in clause 9. The location of the Master ICE on a given platform is described in Annex B. + +### **4.4 Submission Principle** + +Since CAs and LAs may share differently the functions required to conform to a telecommunications service, some of these functions are possibly duplicated or missing. Examples are: + +- checking the conformance of a Transfer Format to specific service requirements; +- printing a document in accordance to the telecommunications service through which it was (or will be) conveyed; +- converting Transmission Formats to or from Transfer Formats. + +The submission principle allows LAs to take advantage of functions that the CA supports itself. This relieves the LA from supporting functions that are already handled by the CA. This ensures that all the required telecommunications service functions for any complying equipment are actually supported. + +## **5 Functional Behaviour** + +### **5.1 Functional Classes and Service Profiles** + +Two Functional Classes (FCs) are defined. These classes are called Functional Class A (FCA) and Functional Class B (FCB). Functional Class B is a superset of Functional Class A. For more detailed information refer to clause 10. + +The Functional Class of a CA shall be explicitly stated in the manufacturer documentation and in the appropriate field of the CA-Descriptor. + +Furthermore, the interface provides access to additional CA features. These features are not essential with respect to the ITU-T Recommendations. Any of these additional features may be used by a LA independent from its Functional Class, provided that the CA supports them. The additional features supported by a given CA shall be explicitly listed in the ICE (see clause 9). + +To further help reduce incompatibilities between different vendors' applications, this Recommendation supports the concept of Service Profiles. A Service Profile, defined for some services, groups a defined set of service features that must be supported by the implementations claiming compatibility to this Recommendation (refer to clause 10). + +### 5.2 Error Handling + +#### 5.2.1 Simple Errors + +Syntax elements out of context (e.g. specification of transmission speed for the telex service) shall be ignored by the CA. Execution shall continue. + +#### 5.2.2 Rejection + +All syntactical errors (i.e. unrecognized syntax elements, missing syntax elements classified as mandatory, conflicting syntax elements, multiple occurrences of a single syntax element, parameters out of range within a TDD) may lead to the rejection of the TDD. Any invalid outgoing file format may also provoke the rejection of the corresponding TDD by the CA. The CA may also discard the outgoing file. Furthermore, the CA may reject the TDD if the companion files are not transferred to the CA within a certain delay. + +#### 5.2.3 Error Code Ranges + +See Table 2. + +TABLE 2/T.611 + +##### Assignment of error codes + +| Error code | Meaning | +|------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| 0000 | Success (no error) shall be supported by all CAs | +| 0001-4999 | Reserved for CA private use | +| 5000-5999 | Miscellaneous errors not fitting in other categories | +| 6000-6999 | Syntax errors | +| 7000-7999 | Resource and input/output errors (operating system and hardware related errors) | +| 8000-8999 | Conversion or Transfer Format related errors | +| 9000-9999 | Service dependent errors (service signals and failures) | + +A complete list of the error codes assigned within this Recommendation is given in Annex C. + +### **5.3 Multiple LAs and multiple CAs** + +Thanks to the interface, multiple LAs may be connected to one or several CAs simultaneously. In order to control access to multiple CAs, the ICE has been defined. On behalf of the ICE, the LA shall carry out a two-step interface set-up procedure during its initialization phase: + +- first, the local application shall select an appropriate communications application by inspecting the Interface Configuration Environment (ICE); +- then, the local application shall “login” to the selected CA. + +Once the local application has logged into the communications application, it is free to use whatever service the CA provides, until the local application logs out from the CA. + +#### **5.3.1 Step 1: Selection of a CA** + +The first step to be carried out by the local application during the interface set-up procedure is to gain access to the ICE, which provides a list of CAs accessible from within the system (see 4.3 and clause 9). + +#### **5.3.2 Step 2: Login of a LA to a CA** + +Once the local application has selected an appropriate CA from the ICE, it has to register with the selected CA. This is called the login process. The login process is performed using an unique login-name and returns a Connection-ID. This Connection-ID is computed by the CA. + +To perform the login, the LA shall rely on the information found in the CA-Descriptor. + +The logout process allows the decoupling of the LA and the CA: it is invoked by the LA when the LA wishes to be disconnected from the CA. As a result of this logout process, the Connection-ID shall be discarded by the CA and becomes invalid. No further access on behalf of that Connection-ID shall be possible for the LA. + +The login and logout processes facilitate the implementation of security schemes which are especially important on multi-user systems. They also provide means to implement security mechanisms between the LA and the CA. + +### **5.4 Identification Means** + +To cope with the various interchanges of information through the interface, it is required to identify unambiguously the communicating entities and the communication events. These identifiers provide the means to: + +- distinguish the various telecommunications events (COM-ID); +- identify the LAs logged in a given CA (LA-ID); +- identify the requests generated by one LA toward a given CA (REQ-ID); +- define the Transfer Format to be used (Convert-ID); +- define the Transmission Format to be used (Type-ID). + +Following subclauses detail these identifiers. + +#### **5.4.1 Identification of CA Communications (COM-ID)** + +As long as a CA can handle different requests from different LAs and/or from the network, it is necessary to give an identification to each of those events. + +The COM-ID identifier is a unique identifier provided by the CA and assigned to each communications event that occurred in a CA. The COM-ID is a field of the CA-Record (see 5.6.2). + +A new COM-ID is generated by the CA when a CA-Record is generated. This is the case when: + +- 1) a LA issues a Send request to the CA; +- 2) a LA issues a Trace request, function Reschedule to the CA; +- 3) the CA processes a received file. + +The COM-ID ensures that a particular LA can retrieve any scheduled transmission request, even if the LA-CA dialogue was terminated for any reason. + +#### **5.4.2 Identification of LAs within a CA (LA-ID)** + +Since this Recommendation allows multiple LAs or multiple instances of a LA using a given CA simultaneously, LAs have to be identified uniquely to a given CA. + +For the purpose of distinguishing different LAs from one another, this Recommendation defines the LA-ID identifier as the unique identifier designating a particular LA instance communicating with a CA. The LA-ID is a field of the CA-Record (see 5.6.2). + +The CA may refuse to process any Request TDDs that contain a LA-ID not known by that CA. That provides a means to control the accesses to a CA (see 5.6.1). + +The LA-ID is statically assigned to the LA or to the LA instance. The rule by which the LA-ID is assigned is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +#### **5.4.3 Identification of LA requests (REQ-ID)** + +This Recommendation allows a LA to generate multiple requests to a CA. Since the interface allows Response TDDs to be delivered to the LA in an order different from the one the requests were given, it is necessary to identify the Request TDDs and the corresponding Response TDDs. This Recommendation thus defines the REQ-ID as the unique request reference assigned to each Request TDD and to its corresponding Response TDD. + +The REQ-ID is computed by the LA, by any appropriate means that guarantees uniqueness of REQ-IDs for that LA. The algorithm to use for the REQ-ID computation is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. The REQ-ID is a field of the CA-Record (see 5.6.2). + +Recovery procedures that could be derived from the use of the REQ-ID are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +#### **5.4.4 Reference to LA requests (REQ-REF)** + +The reference to a LA request (REQ-ID) is used in the Trace TDD for referencing previous Send and/or Receive TDDs. + +#### **5.4.5 Identification of Transfer Formats (Convert-ID)** + +The Transfer Format – the format used to transfer a document between LA and CA – is identified by the Convert-ID. For each service this Recommendation defines a mandatory set of different Convert-IDs, which shall be supported by the CA implementation. See also Table H.1 and related service specific sections in Part II of this Recommendation. + +#### **5.4.6 Identification of Transmission Formats (Type-ID)** + +The Transmission Format – the format used to transmit a document through the service – is identified by the Type-ID. Each service defines its set of Transmission Formats. See also related service specific sections in Part II of this Recommendation. + +### 5.5 Dispatch Received Files Facility (DRF) + +Some telecommunications services do not offer subaddressing facilities. On systems where the CA may be used by several LAs simultaneously, it is necessary to assist the routing of the incoming documents to the intended recipients. This process is called Dispatch Received Files (DRF). + +When a CA receives a file from the network, it shall be assigned to a single recipient LA. Then, only the recipient LA may access the received file. Selection of the recipient LA is a CA private process which is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +The CA-Record corresponding to the received file is then assigned the LA-ID of the recipient LA. + +If the CA supports the Dispatch Received Files facility (DRF) then the recipient LA may dispatch received files to the appropriate LA by means of the Trace:DISPATCH request (see 6.6.3). The CA-Record is then assigned the LA-ID of the LA to which the received file is dispatched. + +As this CA feature is optional, the support of DRF shall be declared in the CA-Descriptor (see clause 9). + +If the CA does not support DRF, then the CA shall assign (by any appropriate means) the CA-Record to any LA using the LA-ID field. When subaddressing is provided by the telecommunications service, the CA shall assign the CA-Record to the intended recipient LA automatically. + +The algorithms to use for dispatching the incoming calls to the appropriate LAs are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +### 5.6 Communications Control – CA-Record + +Since the exchange method between a LA and a CA is based on a client-server model, the LA always originates Request TDDs to a CA. Response TDDs from the CA are not spontaneous; the LA shall poll the CA in order to know whether any Response TDDs are available. + +This Recommendation provides the means for a LA to trace any communications events occurring in a CA; there is no requirement for LAs to make use of those means. + +A CA communications event gathers a collection of information, like date and time, originator, recipient(s), communications service, etc. + +The CA-Record is the functional collection of information kept by a CA in order to process a Send request or an incoming call from the network. This information is kept into fields, each of which has a special purpose. + +A CA-Record is generated by the CA when one of the following events occurs: + +- The CA receives a Send request from a LA. In this case, if the Send request contains many recipients, the CA shall expand the list of recipients and generate the same number of CA-Records as the number of recipients in the list. +- The CA receives a Trace:RESCHEDULE request from a LA. +- The CA receives an incoming call from the network. + +Optionally, a CA can generate a CA-Record in the “failed” state when the CA encounters error conditions which were not directly the consequence of a Send request or of an incoming call. + +CA-Records are destroyed when the LA issues Trace:PURGE requests or by CA-specific means. + +NOTE – A CA-Record can only be destroyed when it has reached a final state, i.e. the “retrieved”, “sent” or “failed” state (see also Figures 5 and 6). + +The CA-Record is an internal structure of the CA. The way to implement the CA-Record is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +#### 5.6.1 Access Control of CA-Record + +All actions originated by LAs on CA-Records are performed by means of the Trace request. Depending on the configuration of the CA, a CA may elect to hide some information to a LA. For example, a CA may refuse the access to “delayed” CA-Records originated by another LA. + +To help control accesses to a CA, this Recommendation provides a mechanism to identify LAs by means of the LA-ID. For example, all Trace requests originated by LAs incorporate the LA-ID. + +Thanks to this mechanism, a particular CA may elect to restrict or extend the use of some control requests to only a particular set of LAs. For example, the use of the Trace:DISPATCH request may be offered to only one LA or to a set of different LAs, depending on the system configuration; the access to the Trace:PURGE request might also be reserved to a single LA for administrative reasons. + +The CA manufacturer shall state in its documentation how access controls (if any) are handled and, if appropriate, how access controls may be customized to accommodate users’ configurations. Customizing CAs shall be exercised by specific means that are beyond the scope of this Recommendation. + +#### 5.6.2 Fields of the CA-Record + +The CA-Record contains a minimum list of fields which shall be supported by all CAs. CAs may support additional fields; those fields shall be declared in the ICE. + +Table 3 shows the minimum list of CA-Record fields that any CA shall support in the shown order: + +TABLE 3/T.611 + +**Minimum list of CA-Record fields** + +| Field name | Syntax | Purpose | +|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| COM-ID | COM-ID | Maintain the unique communication identifier assigned to the CA-Records | +| LA-ID | La-id | Assigns the CA-Record to the LA which originated it or to which it is destined | +| REQ-ID | Req-id | Maintains the reference of the request | +| STATE | State | Indicates the current state of the CA-Record | +| DIRECTION | “Xmit”/“Receive” | Indicates whether the CA-Record was generated for a transmission or a reception | +| NOTE – Support of additional fields (e.g. charging info, time stamps, addresses) may be added by CA Manufacturers. See also 6.6.3.2. | | | + +The CA-Record provides a LA the ability to control the CA it is logged in. A CA-Record is at any time in one of the six following states (see Table 4). + +TABLE 4/T.611 + +##### **States of CA-Record** + +| State name | Concerns | Means | +|-------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| “delayed” | Transmission | The associated document(s) have not yet been processed by the CA. It waits until the CA moves it in the sending state | +| “sending” | Transmission | The associated document(s) have been processed by the CA for transmission; the CA has not yet finished processing it (because it is currently being sent or because the transmission had failed and the CA will carry out other attempts shortly) | +| “sent” | Transmission | The associated document(s) have successfully been transmitted to the recipient | +| “failed” | Transmission, reception | The associated document(s) failed to be transmitted, (or) errors occurred during reception (or) an internal error occurred in the CA | +| “reception” | Reception | The record describes a document that is being received by the CA at that time, or has been received but not retrieved by the recipient LA | +| “retrieved” | Reception | The received document has been retrieved by the recipient LA by means of the Receive request | + +Transitions from one state to another are governed by actions internal to the CA, coming from the communications network, or issued by the LA. + +LAs can read the state fields of a CA-Record by means of the Trace:COPY request. A particular LA may access only those records that have a matching LA-ID identifier value (unless the CA extends the access rights of some LAs). This ensures a particular LA may consult only its relevant CA-Records. + +The only exception to this rule is when the CA does not support DRF (see 5.5), in which case any LA can access any CA-Record which is in the reception state. + +The following describes the state transitions of a CA-Record in relation to the transmission and reception events occurring at the CA. + +#### 5.6.3 Transmission Process – State Transitions + +Transmissions are initiated by Send requests. When the CA receives a valid Send request from a logged-in LA, the CA builds as many CA-Records as the number of recipients contained in the Send request. + +Transmissions can also be originated by rescheduling transmissions that failed previously, by means of the Trace:RESCHEDULE request. In some cases this can save the delay of the conversion of the documents to suitable Transmission Formats, because those documents were already converted in a previous Send request. + +The CA shall assign a COM-ID to each new CA-Record. If a Send request specifies multiple recipients, the CA assigns a different COM-ID to each resulting CA-Record (one per recipient). The CA also sets the state field to the “delayed” state. The CA then copies all information from the Send request into the CA-Record. + +The CA scans at its own pace the list of the CA-Records in the “delayed” state and processes one of them. The choice of the “delayed” CA-Record to process first is based on scheduled dates and times that were specified in the field of the Send request (see Table 13, subclause 6.2). The elected CA-Record is switched to the “sending” state. + +The CA transmits all documents contained in the “sending” CA-Record, one by one. If transmission fails because of transmission errors, then the CA may keep the CA-Record in the “sending” state as long as it retries its transmission attempts. + +If the transmission eventually fails, the CA-Record is switched to the “failed” state. If the transmission eventually succeeds, the CA-Record is switched to the “sent” state. Between two attempts on the same CA-Record, the CA may pick up another CA-Record in the “delayed” state and process it as described above.

The details of this syntax are explained in A.1. + +As an aid to understanding, together with the generic BNF-style syntax given below the text based encoding is used in the subclauses to follow.

The service, addressee or document specific syntax elements of the TDDs are described in the appropriate clauses of Part II of this Recommendation. + +### 6.3 Code-ID + +The very first octet of every TDD, independent of its encoding, indicates the coding scheme. This octet is called the Code-ID. Table 14 lists the possible Code-IDs assigned by this Recommendation. + +### 6.4 Text Based Encoding + +This subclause refers to encodings with the Code-ID set to "A", "B", "I" or "E". + +For description of the text based encoding, the BNF-style syntax explained in A.1 is used in the following subclauses. + +#### 6.4.1 Syntax and Formatting + +The syntax elements listed in 6.1 are encoded using keyword/parameter pairs.

"B" stands for basic, which means that the keyword shall be supported by all CAs, "+" means the keyword is supported by the CA if and only if the keyword is declared in the ICE | +| T (Type) | Specifies whether the keyword is mandatory ("m") or optional ("o"). When the keyword is optional, then the "Default" cell specifies a default value for the parameter | +| I/O (Input/Output) |

The Input/Output column lists the requirements concerning the parameter following the keyword in the request and the response

When the column states "I", it means the parameter contains an "input" value, i.e. the CA shall interpret the value as the one requested by the LA. The CA shall not modify the value and return it in the response

When the column states "I/O", it means the parameter contains an "input" value (like when "I" is specified) and an "output" value is expected (i.e. set by the CA in the Response TDD)

When the column states "O", it means the parameter is an "output" value (i.e. set by the CA in the Response TDD) and no value shall be set in the request (i.e. no parameter value shall be specified in the request). The response shall contain the value used for that parameter by the CA

Additive keywords can be used by LAs only if they are declared in the ICE (CA-Descriptor). Basic keywords are supported by all CAs. +- The use or not of a keyword has the same signification for both basic and additive keywords. +- If a keyword is absent in a TDD, then the default value of the parameter applies.

These two types of exchange method are fully detailed in 7.3. + +NOTE – Since it is only required that the binary exchange of TDDs and associated data conforms to this Recommendation, the use of the BEM Functions within the code of the LA is optional. The only requirement the LA shall meet is the conformance to the real exchange method defined for each platform. Thus a LA implementor may decide to interface directly to one of the real exchange methods defined. + +### 7.1 Overview of Basic Exchange Method Functions + +NOTE – The Basic Exchange Method Functions described in this subclause supersede the method documented in the 1992 version of this Recommendation. For details of the differences refer to Annex F where the previous version of the Basic Exchange Method Functions has been included for convenience. + +Different implementations of the Basic Exchange Method are possible.

The only assumption is that the ICE shall be accessible from each LA. | | + +In general, the Basic Exchange Method Functions rely on a login procedure (ELogin) which returns a Connection-ID. This Connection-ID is then used in all subsequent invocations of the Basic Exchange Method functions. The login procedure is comparable to opening an interaction channel between a LA and a CA. + +#### 7.1.1 Sequence of Basic Exchange Method Functions + +Firstly, a LA needs to login (function ELogin) to the requested CA. No TDD exchange can take place before the login procedure is completed. By nature, the login procedure is a synchronous mechanism, i.e. the login requires a response before another action can take place. + +When a LA wishes to send a Request TDD to a CA, it shall carry out the following steps: + +- build the Request TDD (by any appropriate means); +- invoke the EPutTDD function; +- invoke the EPutData function, if associated data have to be transferred. + +When a LA needs to be informed of possible events bound for it, the LA shall: + +- invoke the EPollTDD function. + +When a LA needs to retrieve a Response TDD (the EPollTDD function above indicated available Response TDDs), the LA shall: + +- invoke the EGetTDD function; +- invoke the EGetData function, if associated data have to be retrieved. + +When a LA receives an alarm from the CA – applicable only if the CA supports alarms as stated in the ICE (see clause 9) and if the LA implements the alarm invocation function –, it shall: + +- invoke the EPolITDD function; +- invoke the EGetTDD function; +- invoke the EGetData function, if associated data have to be retrieved. + +When a LA no longer needs to dialogue with a CA, it shall logout (function ELogout) from this CA. The CA thus knows the LA-CA communications path is broken and thus will not use the alarm mechanism any longer. + +The EPutTDD, EPolITDD, EGetTDD, ESetAlarm, ECallBackRoutine, ELogin and ELogout functions are synchronous, i.e. the LA can proceed only when those functions have returned. The functions and their calling and return parameters are shown in 7.2. + +Figure 10 illustrates the behaviour described above. + +![Sequence diagram showing the interaction between LA and CA for alarm support.

Data transfer functions are not shown. + +#### 7.1.2 Alarm Support + +If the CA implements the optional alarm feature, it means that the CA implements the ESetAlarm function. This function allows a CA to wake up a given LA on specific alarm events. + +Support of the alarm feature shall be stated in the ICE (see clause 9). + +#### 7.1.3 Connection-ID + +In order to identify a LA-CA communications path, the Connection-ID is defined. The Connection-ID is computed by the CA on invocation of the Login request. The LA shall use this identifier throughout the interchange with the same CA until the LA logs out. + +NOTE – The Connection-ID is different from the COM-ID; the COM-ID identifies communication events occurring in a CA. + +#### 7.1.4 CA-ID + +The CA-ID identifies a CA. This identifier allows a LA to have simultaneous interactions with multiple LAs. Therefore the CA-ID is a parameter used in each EM function call. + +### 7.2 Basic Exchange Method Functions + +The functions described below replace or supplement the functions of the basic exchange mechanism of the 1992 version of this Recommendation (see also Annex F). For differentiation purposes, the names of the functions defined within this Recommendation start with the uppercase letter "E". + +All functions perform synchronously, i.e the caller cannot continue execution until the called function returns. + +Since the implementation of the BEM Functions is platform dependent, they are described in a generic way in the subclauses to follow. The implementation of the functions for the various platforms is described in Part IV of this Recommendation. + +NOTE – The order the parameters are appearing in the following description of the BEM Functions is important for compatibility. + +The data types used for the generic description of the BEM Functions are defined in Table 37. They are mapped to real data types in the appropriate clauses of Part IV of this Recommendation. + +The Direction classification "Input" stands for "parameter shall be presented on function call", "Output" stands for "parameter valid on return of function". + +TABLE 37/T.611 + +**Data types used for description of BEM Functions** + +| Data type | Explanation | +|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| String | Stands for a string of characters | +| Integer | Stands for a number in the minimum range of $+2^{15} \dots (2^{15} - 1)$ | +| Boolean | Stands for a variable taking the value true or false | +| Memory address | Stands for an address inside of LA's memory | + +#### 7.2.1 Function ELogin + +The function ELogin shall be supported by the CA. It shall be invoked by the LA before any LA-CA interchange of Request TDDs and responses. + +##### 7.2.1.1 Purpose + +The function ELogin returns to the LA a Connection-ID that will be used all along the LA-CA interaction until the LA logs out. + +Furthermore the ELogin function allows to select a CA on user-provided criteria and returns a CA-ID, which shall be used in subsequent BEM function calls to address the selected CA. + +Selection of a CA is performed by specifying a string containing keywords like "FAX", "ECM" or "EMAIL", separated by spaces, in the Selector parameter. Since it can be performed by external processes, the selection mechanism is out of the scope of this Recommendation. + +If the Selector parameter is specified, then the CA-ID parameter shall not be specified; when the function call returns, either the CA-ID parameter contains a valid CA identifier that can be used in further BEM function calls, or the CA-ID parameter is empty if no CA matched the selection criteria. If the Selector parameter is not specified in the function call, then no selection is to be performed. In this case the CA-ID parameter shall be specified. + +The ELogin function is the place where a CA may control access of a LA to it. This can be achieved by checking the Login-name and the Password given by the LA. However, the extent to which control of the access rights is performed, is up to the CA implementation. + +##### 7.2.1.2 Behaviour + +The CA checks the parameters of the ELogin call. If they match, it then generates a Connection-ID the LA shall use subsequently in other BEM Function calls. In addition, if the Selector parameter specifies criteria, the function returns the CA-ID of a CA that match the criteria. If the Connection-ID returned is set to zero, it means the CA failed to connect with the LA. + +##### 7.2.1.3 Parameters + +See Table 38. + +TABLE 38/T.611 + +**Parameters of the ELogin function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------| +| Login-name | String | Name of the LA user connecting to the CA (differs from the LA-ID) | Input | +| Password | String | A password string | Input | +| Selector | String | A user-provided string specifying connection criteria | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA that accepts the connection | Output | +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel. Returned by the CA if the ELogin function succeeds. Otherwise (e.g. identification failed) the CA sets the value to zero and an appropriate return code is given by the Status parameter (see below) | Output | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +#### 7.2.2 Function EPutTDD + +The function EPutTDD shall be supported by the CA. It may be invoked by a LA. The EPutTDD also supports the identification of the data files to be transferred to the CA. + +Such data files are typically address-list files or documents or both. + +##### 7.2.2.1 Purpose + +The EPutTDD function conveys a Request TDD to the CA and allows the LA to specify which files need to be transferred to the CA. The actual transfer of data files to the CA is performed with the EPutData function. + +##### 7.2.2.2 Behaviour + +The CA copies the Request TDD carried by the EPutTDD function into its internal structures. The result is reported immediately to the requesting LA. If the LA requests a Data-ID by specifying a Data-ID address, CA returns the identifier of a data group as Data-ID. + +If this identifier is NULL, then no data files (or buffers) are to be transmitted to the CA. If the Data-ID is not NULL, then the LA performs the subsequent data file transfers with EPutData function. The transfers shall occur immediately after the call to EPutTDD function. + +NOTE – The Data-ID returned may be valid for a limited time only. + +##### 7.2.2.3 Parameters + +See Table 39. + +TABLE 39/T.611 + +**Parameters of the EPutTDD function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA as returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| TDD-location | Memory address | Memory location of the TDD to be passed to the CA. After return from the function the LA's TDD may be deleted or used for other purposes | Input | +| TDD-size | Integer | Size in octets of the TDD passed to the CA | Input | +| Data-ID | Integer | Identifier of the data group, returned by the CA if requested | Input/Output | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +#### 7.2.3 Function EPutData + +This function allows the actual transfer of data (address lists and/or data files) from the LA to the CA. Depending on the implementation the data can either be files or buffers. + +##### 7.2.3.1 Purpose + +The group of files transferred within one function call relates to one previous Request TDD that was transmitted to the CA by means of a previous EPutTDD function call. + +The group is identified by the Data-ID that the CA returned as a result of the previous EPutTDD function call. + +##### 7.2.3.2 Behaviour + +This function is invoked by the LA after the corresponding Request TDD was transmitted to the CA. + +The LA shall build a data structure (Data-Descriptor) that describes where the files/buffers to be conveyed to the CA are located. The specification of the data structure is language-dependent but cross platform compatibility ensures that the binary layout does not depend on the platforms or languages. + +The LA may transfer all the data in one shot or in multiple calls. The parameter Next indicates whether the function call is the last in the data group or that more function calls relevant to that data group are to follow. + +##### 7.2.3.3 Parameters + +See Table 40. + +TABLE 40/T.611 + +**Parameters of the EPutData function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|-----------------|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| Data-ID | Integer | Identifier of the data group, returned by the CA | Input | +| Data-Descriptor | Memory address | Memory address of a data structure specifying which files/buffers have to be conveyed to the CA | Input | +| Next | Boolean | Indicator stating whether more data will be conveyed in a subsequent call to the function EPutData or that no more data is to follow (end of the data group) | Input | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +#### 7.2.4 Function EPollTDD + +The EPollTDD function asks the CA how many Response TDDs are waiting to be handled by the requesting LA. The EPollTDD returns the number of Response TDDs pending and the type and size of the first Response TDD that will be returned by the next call to the EGetTDD function. + +The EPollTDD function furthermore allows to select the type of TDD that is to be returned by the CA. + +##### 7.2.4.1 Purpose + +The EPollTDD function allows to poll the CA in order to know how many Response TDDs are pending for retrieval. + +##### 7.2.4.2 Behaviour + +The function allows the LA to select the type of Response TDD to be polled by giving a specific TDD-type parameter. If the LA specifies no TDD-type (TDD-type set to zero), the function selects, if available, any type of TDD and returns the selected type. The TDD selected, if any, then may be retrieved by a subsequent EGetTDD function call. + +The EPollTDD function also returns the size of the Response TDD that will be returned, if any. The CA then should allocate enough storage space to receive the Response TDD returned by the next call to EGetTDD. The size given by the CA is an indication of the minimum buffer size that will hold the Response TDD. + +Furthermore, the amount of pending Response TDDs – of the selected type – is returned. If the count returned is zero, no Response TDDs – of the selected type – are pending. + +When the CA has many Response TDDs available, it chooses the one it will return first. This Response TDD is the TDD that will be transmitted to the LA at the next EGetTDD function call emitted by the same LA. + +When no Response TDD is available for the requesting LA, the TDD-count is set to the value zero, in which case the TDD size returned is set to zero as well. + +If the TDD that was submitted is erroneous or unknown, e.g. the is missing, then the function may return the original Request TDD. In this case the CA shall set the returned TDD-type to zero and the return status to a non-zero value. + +The TDD-type values assigned are shown by Table 41. + +TABLE 41/T.611 + +##### Assignment of TDD-types + +| Response TDD | TDD-type | Response TDD | TDD-type | +|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------| +| No TDD-type a) | 00 HEX | DISPATCH Response | 35 HEX | +| SENDACK Response | 10 HEX | PREVIEW Response | 36 HEX | +| RECEIVE Response | 20 HEX | PRINT Response | 40 HEX | +| COPY Response | 30 HEX | CONVERT Response | 41 HEX | +| DELETE Response | 31 HEX | CHECK Response | 42 HEX | +| CANCEL Response | 32 HEX | EXTEND Response | 50 HEX | +| PURGE Response | 33 HEX | NATIONAL Response | 60 HEX | +| RESCHEDULE Response | 34 HEX | PRIVATE Response | 70 HEX | +| a) Used as selector (on input) 00 HEX stands for "all TDD-types"; as return value it stands for unknown or erroneous TDD was submitted, or no Response TDD available. | | | | + +##### 7.2.4.3 Parameters + +See Table 42. + +TABLE 42/T.611 + +**Parameters of the EPollTDD function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| TDD-type | Integer | Selects/returns the type of Response TDD expected/available | Input/Output | +| TDD-size | Integer | Size of the next Response TDD ready to be retrieved | Output | +| TDD-count | Integer | Count of Response TDDs pending. Zero indicates: no response pending | Output | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +#### 7.2.5 Function EGetTDD + +The function EGetTDD shall be supported by the CA. It may be invoked by a LA. EGetTDD allows to retrieve a Response TDD and get a data group identifier to retrieve the accompanying data files/buffers. + +##### 7.2.5.1 Purpose + +EGetTDD allows the LA to retrieve a Response TDD into memory and obtain a handle to a group of data files/buffers. The handle is useful for all TDD types that involve data files/buffers, e.g. Receive or Trace:COPY. + +##### 7.2.5.2 Behaviour + +The LA specifies the memory address where the CA shall copy a Response TDD that is available for the LA. + +The CA shall return to the LA the Response TDD that was qualified by the previous EPollTDD function emitted by the same LA. The LA shall have prepared a recipient Response TDD area in its internal structures. The invocation of a EGetTDD function by a LA shall always be preceded by a EPollTDD function call. On call, the LA shall pre-set the TDD size parameter to the size of its response area. On return, the TDD size parameter shall hold the size of the Response TDD the CA provided. + +If the LA invokes two or more consecutive EGetTDD functions (without an intermediate EPollTDD function call) the CA may return invalid information. + +The EGetTDD function also returns the Data-ID identifier as a handle to receive the accompanying data files (with a subsequent EGetData function call). + +If the Data-ID parameter value is not zero, then data files need to be retrieved by a subsequent call to the EGetData function. If the Data-ID parameter is zero, then no additional data is to be retrieved from the CA. + +##### 7.2.5.3 Parameters + +See Table 43. + +TABLE 43/T.611 + +**Parameters of the EGetTDD function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| TDD-location | Memory address | Specifies the location where the Response TDD shall be stored | Input | +| TDD-size | Integer | Size of the buffer reserved for storing the Response TDD | Input/Output | +| Data-ID | Integer | Identifier of the data group, if any | Output | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +#### 7.2.6 Function EGetData + +This function allows the transfer of data files (or buffers) from the CA to the LA. It is called by the LA. + +##### 7.2.6.1 Purpose + +This function is used to retrieve the data from the CA after receiving a Response TDD (with the EGetTDD function) that specifies that data is to be retrieved (parameter Data-ID is not zero). + +##### 7.2.6.2 Behaviour + +Immediately after the EGetTDD, the LA shall call the EGetData in order to receive the corresponding data (files or buffers). The CA returns a data descriptor containing information about the received data. The CA also returns whether additional calls to EGetTDD should be performed by the LA to retrieve further pertaining data. + +The group of files transferred within one function call relates to one Response TDD (through a EGetTDD function call). This group is identified by the Data-ID parameter (LA provided). + +##### 7.2.6.3 Parameters + +See Table 44. + +TABLE 44/T.611 + +**Parameters of the EGetData function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|-----------------|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| Data-ID | Integer | Identifier of the data group | Input | +| Data-Descriptor | Memory address | Storage address of a descriptor for the data to be retrieved, passed to the CA on input and filled by the CA on output | Input/Output | +| Next | Boolean | States whether additional data should be retrieved | Output | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +#### 7.2.7 Function ESetAlarm + +The function ESetAlarm can optionally be supported by the CA. In this case, it can optionally be invoked by a LA. If the ESetAlarm function is used by a LA, that LA shall supply an AlarmHandler. An AlarmHandler is a function which receives the subsequent alarms generated by the CA. + +A CA shall declare the support of the ESetAlarm function in the ICE. + +##### 7.2.7.1 Purpose + +This function allows the LA to register to the connected CA the type of alarm events the LA supports. This function shall not be invoked if the CA does not understand the alarm mechanism. Whether a CA understands the alarm mechanism may be obtained from the ALARM element of the ICE (see clause 9). + +The ESetAlarm function tells the CA that it can give an alarm to the LA by invoking the AlarmHandler supplied. + +The LA may temporarily disable an alarm event by disabling the corresponding address of the AlarmHandler, e.g. by setting the address to NULL. Restoring the alarm event for that alarm type is performed by enabling the address of the AlarmHandler, e.g. by setting the address to the actual entry point of the AlarmHandler. + +The alarm events defined are shown in Table 45. + +##### 7.2.7.2 Behaviour + +The CA supporting the ESetAlarm function shall record the location of the AlarmHandler function assigned by the LA. In the minimum, the CA can record as many AlarmHandler locations as there are different logged-in LAs. If an event registered to a particular LA occurs, the CA shall send the alarm to the particular LA by invoking its AlarmHandler. + +TABLE 45/T.611 + +##### **Alarm events for the ESetAlarm function** + +| Event name | Comment | +|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ASYNC_RESPONSES | The LA will not poll the CA. The CA should send an alarm each time a Response TDD is available | +| QUEUE_FULL | The CA will not accept any further TDDs unless the CA is polled | +| DOCUMENT_RECEIVED | A new document can be received | +| CONNECTION_LOST | The LA-CA connection is lost | +| SEND_SUCCESS | A document was successfully sent | +| SEND_FAILED | A document failed to be sent | +| CORRUPTED_TDD | The CA received a corrupted/unrecognizable TDD | +| SEND_EVENT | A send event occurred in the CA | +| RECEIVE_EVENT | A receive event occurred in the CA | +| CA_WILL_STOP | The CA will no longer process requests. Logout immediately | +| ALARMS_UNAVAILABLE | Alarms are no longer available | +| TDD_RESP_AVAILABLE | A TDD response is available. The LA should poll the CA as soon as possible | +| NOTE – Some alarms need additional data to give accurate information about the event. | | + +##### **7.2.7.3 Parameters** + +See Table 46. + +TABLE 46/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the ESetAlarm function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| Alarm-event | Integer | Combination of the types of alarms the LA may react to | Input | +| AlarmHandler | Memory address | Information addressing the entry point of the AlarmHandler. This entry point shall be called by the CA when one of the registered events occurs

This parameter as well as the AlarmHandler itself is platform-dependent | Input | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +##### **7.2.7.4 AlarmHandler Function** + +Depending on the platform, the alarm triggered may have parameters that detail the reason for the alarm. + +The AlarmHandler function defines a mechanism that allows a CA to alert the LA that some Response TDDs are available. The use of this optional mechanism can improve the flow control between LAs and CAs on heavily loaded systems. + +The AlarmHandler is implemented by the LA. The CA calls that function when it needs to trigger an alarm. The alarms the CA may trigger are specified by the LA by means of the ESetAlarm function. + +Some alarms may have parameters. They are passed to the LA along with the function call. + +Some alarms imply that the LA polls the CA after having received the alarm (e.g. when the CA has received a new document). If the CA does not poll the CA quickly enough, the CA may trigger the alarm repeatedly until the LA performs the expected action. + +Since the AlarmHandler function is platform dependent, it is described in greater detail in the appropriate clauses of Part IV of this Recommendation. + +#### **7.2.8 Function EAbortData** + +The EAbortData function allows to cancel the ongoing transfer of data. It has the effect of canceling the corresponding TDD too. + +##### **7.2.8.1 Purpose** + +This function is invoked by the LA in order to cancel a data transfer started by EPutData or EGetData. + +##### **7.2.8.2 Behaviour** + +When aborting an EPutData data transfer, the CA shall destroy the corresponding Request TDD that was conveyed by the previous EPutTDD function call. + +When aborting an EGetData data transfer, the CA shall retain the corresponding Response TDD that was retrieved by the previous EGetTDD function call. + +Abortion of the data transfers in either direction may occur only between two EGetData or EPutData function calls respectively. + +Since the LA is responsible for the data transfer between the LA and the CA, calling EAbortData after the last data block has no effect (the data transfer is completed anyway). For the same reason, calling EAbortData before the first data block has the effect of cancelling the whole data transfer and the corresponding TDD. + +##### **7.2.8.3 Parameters** + +See Table 47. + +#### **7.2.9 Function ELogout** + +The function ELogout shall be supported by the CA. It shall be invoked by the LA on completion of any LA-CA interchange of Request TDDs and responses. + +##### **7.2.9.1 Purpose** + +The function ELogout returns to the LA a status that states whether the LA-CA interaction has finished orderly. + +##### **7.2.9.2 Behaviour** + +Before completing the LA-CA dialogue, the CA may (but is not obliged to) process all pending Request TDDs that were issued by that LA. + +TABLE 47/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the EAbortData function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| Data-ID | Integer | Data group identifier | Input | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +##### **7.2.9.3 Parameters** + +See Table 48. + +TABLE 48/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the ELogout function** + +| Parameter | Data type | Comment | Direction | +|---------------|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | Identifier (handle) of the LA-CA data channel returned by the ELogin function | Input | +| CA-ID | Integer | Identifier of the CA | Input | +| Status | Integer | Return code; a value of zero indicates successful operation | Output | + +### **7.3 Implementation of Basic Exchange Method Functions** + +The Basic Exchange Method Functions offer a functional interface, which has to be adapted to the underlying platform in a well defined way in order to provide a binary compatible interface. + +For this purpose this Recommendation defines two real exchange mechanisms: + +- 1) the Primitive Exchange Method; and +- 2) the File Exchange Method. + +The Primitive Exchange Method is fast, but platform dependent; the File Exchange Method is far less platform independent, but slower and lacks the ability to implement all features offered by the Basic Exchange Method Functions. + +The platforms may impose the type of exchange method to support. See Part IV of this Recommendation. + +#### **7.3.1 Primitive Exchange Method** + +The Primitive Exchange Method implementation utilizes function calls. It thus requires from the CA to provide an entry point for each of the Basic Exchange Method Functions. To achieve binary compatibility, the provision of this entry point shall conform to the definitions made by this Recommendation for each platform (see Part IV of this Recommendation). + +#### 7.3.2 File Exchange Method + +The File Exchange Method implementation requires that TDDs are exchanged via files. For this reason, common file directories have to be agreed upon and shared between the LA and the CA. Therefore, the CA shall declare the complete paths for these directories in the appropriate section of the ICE. + +Three file directories or, more abstract, areas have to be configured: + +- an input area for TDDs that are transferred from the LA to the CA; +- an area for Response TDDs; +- an area for jobs that could not be processed due to syntactical errors or other errors. The CA removes incorrect TDDs from the input area and places them in this area. + +These three areas are referred to symbolically as COM\_JOB, COM\_ACK and COM\_ERR respectively. + +Because they are implementation-and installation-specific, the complete paths to these areas shall be configurable during installation of the CA. + +If a CA has to support multiple LA connections, it is suggested that the CA sets up three "mother"-areas (directories) as described above and creates a sub-area (subdirectory) inside of each "mother"-area for each LA which may be connected. The name of each sub-area may be derived from the LA-ID of the connecting LAs. + +Adaptation of the Basic Exchange Method Functions to the File Exchange Method is rather complex, since the Basic Exchange Method Functions have to be emulated by the adapter. + +NOTE – A LA implementation may – although not encouraged by this Recommendation – also interface directly to the File Exchange Method without using Basic Exchange Method Functions. The disadvantage of this approach is that portability to other primitive based platforms is more difficult to obtain. + +##### 7.3.2.1 TDD Transfer + +To issue a function request, the LA places a TDD as a file into the COM\_JOB area. + +Some implementations, mainly on single tasking platforms, also require that the LA executes a SYNC program. SYNC stands for synchronization. The SYNC program ensures that the CA receives control and can process TDDs. Whether there is a need for executing a SYNC is stated in the CA-Descriptor of the corresponding CA. + +When the CA has finished processing the TDD, it places the Response-TDD in the COM\_ACK response area and deletes the Request-TDD in the COM\_JOB input area. The Response-TDD placed by the CA has the same name as the former Request-TDD. + +The complete cycle of the job transfer is shown in Figure 11. + +NOTE – It is not guaranteed that Response-TDDs will be provided in the same sequence as Request-TDDs. Processing is not necessarily sequential. + +##### 7.3.2.2 Error Handling + +Request-TDDs not processable by the CA (due to syntactical errors, etc.) are copied to the COM\_ERR area and deleted from the COM\_JOB area. The keyword FATAL is inserted at the end of the Response TDD and an error message with the form [Num/Text] is generated in the appended parameter field. + +##### 7.3.2.3 Sync Mechanism + +If a SYNC program execution is required by the CA, the LA shall proceed as follows: + +- after a Request-TDD is stored, the LA shall issue a SYNC to the CA ("SyncJob" function); +- before the LA polls a Response-TDD, another SYNC to the CA shall be issued ("SyncAck" function). + +Under DOS, OS/2, UNIX and UNIX-like operating system, the SYNC mechanism shall be implemented by executing the "APPLI/COM" program from the LA. + +The "SyncJob" and "SyncAck" functions (see above) are encoded as follows: + +SyncJob: *EXEC APPLI/COM JOB* + +SyncAck: *EXEC APPLI/COM ACK* + +*EXEC* stands for the platform specific command to launch an executable program. + +![Diagram illustrating the File Exchange Method-TDD Transfer between LA and CA.](57939c16065211317c5442cf2a4009e0_img.jpg) + +The diagram illustrates the File Exchange Method-TDD Transfer between LA (Local Area) and CA (Central Area). LA and CA are represented as rectangular boxes. A horizontal arrow labeled "Sync" points from LA to CA. Above the "Sync" arrow is a box labeled "COM\_JOB" containing three cylinders, each labeled "TDD". An arrow points from LA to the "COM\_JOB" box. Below the "Sync" arrow is a box labeled "COM\_ACK" containing three cylinders, each labeled "TDD". An arrow points from CA to the "COM\_ACK" box, and another arrow points from the "COM\_ACK" box back to LA. The text "T0823420-95/d09" is located at the bottom right of the diagram. + +Diagram illustrating the File Exchange Method-TDD Transfer between LA and CA. + +FIGURE 11/T.611 + +##### File Exchange Method-TDD Transfer + +## 8 Transfer Formats + +For proper operation, some requirements apply to the format of the Outgoing and Incoming Files exchanged between LA and CA. Incoming and Outgoing Files have a specific format which is not necessarily the same as the one used by the Transmission Files, e.g. a word processing file to be exchanged through the basic mode of the telefax service. In this case, format conversions are required (they shall be handled by the CA). + +In order to exchange documents between LA and CA several Transfer Formats are defined by this Recommendation. The Transfer Formats apply to the Transfer Files defined in 2.1. These formats should not be confused with the format transmitted through the network (Transmission Formats) by the telecommunications services nor should they be confused with the format used by TTDs (TDD coding). + +Several Transfer Formats are possible: + +- text oriented Transfer Formats; +- graphic oriented Transfer Formats; +- the transparent Transfer Format; +- private Transfer Formats which are either text or graphic oriented. + +This Recommendation defines: + +- 3 text oriented Transfer Formats (APPLI/COM Extended ASCII, APPLI/COM Standard ASCII and the Teletex Format); +- 1 graphic oriented Transfer Format (APPLI/COM TIFF); +- the Transparent Format Transfer Format. + +The Transparent Format may be used only if the document is to be transmitted as a binary file by the telecommunications service. In this case, no conversion of the contents of the file takes place thus the file will be transmitted unchanged. + +This Recommendation is open for the support of private transfer formats. Hence other Transfer Formats (e.g. PostScript) may be implemented by CA manufacturers to adapt native formats of commonly used application programs (e.g word processors, data-bases or spreadsheets). To inform a LA about this support, the CA shall place the keyword ADDCONV into the CA-Descriptor of the ICE (see clause 9). + +A CA supporting an additional Transfer Format has to ensure that documents are treated properly for all services supported by the CA. Restrictions imposed by the service itself have to be treated in a transparent way. Anyway, the Transfer Formats supported by CA manufacturers shall be described in their related documentation. + +Table 49 indicates how Transfer Formats shall be supported by the CA depending on the operating system and the telecommunications service the CA offers. + +TABLE 49/T.611 + +### **List of Transfer Formats** + +| Transfer Format | Convert-id | Means | +|-----------------------------|------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| APPLI/COM

Not all services permit all the format specifications listed (see 8.4). A CA is allowed to ignore ESC sequences.

This Transfer Format may be invoked in two ways: + +- by specifying the parameter value "ASCII437" in the keyword "Convert" on those systems which implement the code page 437. These systems shall declare it in the ICE; +- by specifying the parameter value "ASCII" in the keyword "Convert" on those systems which implement the code page 437 as their native character set. + +Otherwise, only the lower part of the table (i.e. octets from 20HEX to 7EHEX) is guaranteed to be faithfully converted. + +NOTE – The following tables shall be read by selecting first a column, then a row, i.e. character "A" is column 4, row 1. + +#### 8.1.2 Character set of the APPLI/COM Standard ASCII Transfer Format + +The characters supported by the APPLI/COM Standard ASCII Transfer Format for the Teletex, Telex and Telefax services are shown in Tables 54, 55 and 56. + +### 8.2 APPLI/COM Transfer Format: T.61 + +The APPLI/COM T.61 Transfer Format exactly corresponds to the ITU-T Recommendation T.61 for the Teletex service. Documents that the application transfers in this format are mapped to the Teletex service as it is. The format and codes shall be checked by the CA, but no conversion shall be performed. This format is suitable for applications that either already generate this format or are meant to transmit complex text layouts via the Teletex service. + +### 8.3 APPLI/COM Transfer Format: TIFF + +TIFF is a graphics oriented transfer format. The name TIFF stands for "Tagged Image File Format". The format of TIFF files includes the attributes that describe the image, such as resolution and dimensions, and are incorporated via tags in the TIFF file header. Because the information can be reached via tags, the program that generates TIFF files (TIFF writer) is not bound to a constant file structure, since a TIFF read program (TIFF reader) simply needs to know the algorithm necessary to locate the tags. + +The TIFF Transfer Format offers the following features: + +- it contains pixel information; +- it supports data-compression formats; +- it is independent of the hardware of the generating system (it works with any byte order); +- it is flexible due to its own tag structures. + +Because of the fact that the number of possible tag combinations are quite high and not all tags defined are required for describing an image, several classes of TIFF formats have been formed during the course of TIFF's development. For this reason, this Recommendation gives a definition of the profile taken as a basis for an interface-compatible TIFF file. + +As a TIFF writer, a CA can generate 4 classes of files: + +- TIFF standard format, here known as class 1. This is the default class for a CA TIFF writer. +- TIFF format with compression value 2, here known as class 2. Support of this format is an optional feature of the CA. +- TIFF format with ITU group 3 compression, here known as class 3. This format is supported by all CAs that serve the group 3 Telefax service. +- TIFF format with the ITU group 4 compression, here known as class 4. This format is supported by CAs that serve the group 4 Telefax service. + +--- + +6) The character set of the APPLI/COM Extended ASCII Transfer Format is a subset of the IBM-PC character set and is therefore highly suitable for implementations using these systems. + +TABLE 51/T.611 + +Character Set of APPLI/COM Extended ASCII Transfer Format for the Telefax Service group 3 and 4 +(corresponds to the ASCII 437 character set) + +| Hex | 00 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | A0 | B0 | C0 | D0 | E0 | F0 | +|-----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----------------|----|----|----|----|----|----| +| 00 | | | SP | 0 | @ | P | ‘ | p | Ç | É | á | ░ | └ | ╨ | α | ≡ | +| 01 | | | ! | 1 | A | Q | a | q | ü | æ | í | ▒ | ┴ | ╤ | β | ± | +| 02 | | | " | 2 | B | R | b | r | é | Æ | ó | ▓ | ┬ | ╥ | Γ | ≥ | +| 03 | | | # | 3 | C | S | c | s | â | ô | ú | │ | ├ | ╙ | π | ≤ | +| 04 | | ¶ | \$ | 4 | D | T | d | t | ä | ö | ñ | ┤ | ─ | ╘ | Σ | ⌠ | +| 05 | | § | % | 5 | E | U | e | u | à | ò | Ñ | ╡ | ┼ | ╒ | σ | ⌡ | +| 06 | | | & | 6 | F | V | f | v | å | û | ª | ╢ | ╞ | ╓ | μ | ÷ | +| 07 | | | ' | 7 | G | W | g | w | ç | ù | º | ╖ | ╟ | ╫ | τ | ≈ | +| 08 | | | ( | 8 | H | X | h | x | ê | ÿ | ¿ | ╕ | ╚ | ╪ | Φ | ° | +| 09 | | | ) | 9 | I | Y | i | y | ë | Ö | ⌐ | ╣ | ╔ | ┘ | Θ | ∙ | +| 0A | | | * | : | J | Z | j | z | è | Ü | ¬ | ║ | ╩ | ┌ | Ω | · | +| 0B | | | + | ; | K | [ | k | { | ï | ¢ | ½ | ╗ | ╦ | █ | δ | √ | +| 0C | | | , | < | L | \ | l | | î | £ | ¼ | ╝ | ╠ | ▄ | ∞ | ⁿ | +| 0D | | | - | = | M | ] | m | } | ì | ¥ | ¡ | ╜ | ═ | ▌ | ∅ | ² | +| 0E | | | . | > | N | ^ | n | ~ | Ä | P t | « | ╛ | ╬ | ▐ | ∈ | ■ | +| 0F | | | / | ? | O | _ | o | | Å | ƒ | » | ┐ | ╧ | ▀ | ∩ | | + +T0823430-95/d10 + +| Conversion direction | Action performed | +|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Outgoing | All characters shown in the table are accepted into the Teletex service character set | +| Incoming | The Transfer Format is not generated in this direction [except in such configurations where the CA is capable of OCR (Optional Character Recognition)] | +| NOTE – The “BACKSLASH” (5C HEX ) and “BRACES” (7B HEX and 7D HEX ) characters, which are often used under DOS and OS/2, do not belong to the basic Teletex character set.

Since the interface described in this Recommendation aims at multiple platforms, the mechanism prescribed to obtain information from CAs prior to interacting with them is based on reading configuration information. This configuration information is named the Interface Configuration Environment (ICE). + +A CA provider shall supply this configuration information, so that LAs can get information about a specific CA and the access to that CA. + +The part of the ICE which gives information about a specific CA is called the CA-Descriptor. Depending on whether the system is a standalone system or utilizes a Local Area Network (LAN), information about the reachable CAs can be found in different places. Since multiple CAs can be reachable by a LA, there is a need for centralizing the locations of the individual CA-Descriptors in a "Master ICE" file. The location of the Master ICE file itself is defined on a per-platform basis (see Annex B). + +Therefore, on a given system, a LA shall first read the Master ICE file to discover which CAs it can reach and the location of those CAs' CA-Descriptors. Then the LA reads the CA-Descriptor of the CA it wants to utilize. Finally, the LA logs in to that CA by using the information found in that CA's CA-Descriptor. + +To illustrate these concepts, three typical configurations can be considered: + +- a) a standalone system supporting multiple LAs and multiple CAs; +- b) a LAN-based system where LAs and CAs are located on different machines, and a file server is present; +- c) a LAN-based system where LAs and CAs are located on different machines, and no file server is present; + +In case a), the Master ICE is located in a specific file path (the precise location depends on the platform, see Annex B), and the Master ICE lists all the CAs on that system with the location of their respective CA-Descriptor (see Figure 12). + +![Diagram of a standalone system supporting multiple CAs.

Except on those systems where the native coding of characters is EBCDIC (Code-ID = "E"), IRA coding is used (Code-ID = "I"). The ICE – Master ICE and CA-Descriptors – shall be presented in form of lines using the IRA character repertoire and shall be formatted as described for TDDs in 6.4.1. + +### 9.2 Gaining access to the ICE Information + +Access to the Master ICE shall be accomplished by means of a "file access method" which is common to most operating systems. In turn, all of the available access methods to obtain CA-Descriptor information for an individual CA shall be defined within the Master ICE. The access methods may be "file-based" or may take advantage of more dynamic methods which may be available within a particular operating environment (e.g DLLs for Windows and executable files or device drivers for DOS). + +### 9.3 Master ICE + +The Master ICE file lists all the CAs that a LA can reach. It contains information about the CA identifier, the supported communication services, the type of exchange mechanism supported and the location of the CA's CA-Descriptor where further information can be obtained. + +#### 9.3.1 Formal Description + +This subclause describes the syntax of the Master ICE. The first syntax element in the Master ICE is the . No other element, including SPACE and TABULATION format effectors are allowed before. The detailed syntax, described in BNF-based grammar is shown below (for a description of the BNF-based grammar see A.1): + +``` + := + + := "I*APPLI/COM*" "ITU-T*MASTER_ICE" + -- for definition of see also 6.3.2.3 + + := "1994" + -- denotes year of approval of this Recommendation + + := "#" {"#" } + + := + {} + {} + + := "CA-ID" ":" NUMERIC-STRING + -- identifies the CA + + := "APPLI/COM" ":" STRING(SIZE(1..255)) + -- Information about the product, CA manufacturer-provided + + := "EM" ":" "FILE" | "PRIMITIVE" + -- exchange mechanism supported by the CA + -- refer to 7.3 + + := "SERVICE" ":" + -- telecommunication services supported by the CA + -- refer to 6.4.5.1 and 10.4 + + := "ACCESS" ":" PATH + -- points to the location of the CA-Descriptor file or driver +``` + +#### 9.3.2 Configuration + +The Master ICE may be configured either manually by means of an "editor" software during the installation of a particular CA or dynamically by means of an appropriate "driver" software provided by the CA manufacturer7). + +The ICE shall be configured so that it takes into account all possible communications applications accessible from within a system8). + +### 9.4 CA-Descriptor + +The CA-Descriptor contains the information relevant to a given CA. It is composed of sections that group logically related entries. + +#### 9.4.1 Formal Description + +This subclause describes the syntax of the CA-Descriptor.

The access method(s) for the CA-Descriptor shall be defined in the Master ICE as part of the installation procedure for each CA. The CA-Descriptor may be configured either manually by means of an "editor" software during the installation of a particular CA or dynamically by means of an appropriate "driver" software provided by the CA manufacturer. However, a LA relying on the information from a CA-Descriptor regarding a particular CA shall not assume that the CA is active at that very moment (loaded and running). To be certain that a particular CA is really active, the LA shall login to that CA. Only when login succeeds shall the CA be considered active. For information about the login procedure refer to 7.1 and 7.2.1. + +### 9.5 CA-Descriptor Components + +Tables 60, 61 and 62 describe the relevant keyword and the corresponding parameter values of the CA-Descriptor. Subclause 6.4.4 gives complementary information about the coding of the parameter values. + +--- + +7) Since access to files and to operating system device drivers is similar on popular operating systems, the Master ICE itself may be implemented statically as a file or dynamically in form of an operating system device driver. + +8) It is not necessary for a CA to run within the same physical equipment as the LA does. The CA must only provide access by means of a device driver or similar. + +#### 9.5.1 Parameters of the GENERAL Section + +See Table 60. + +TABLE 60/T.611 + +##### CA-Descriptor information items independent of operating system or exchange mechanism + +| Keyword a) | Parameter | Interpretation | +|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| ALIAS | "yes" "no" | Specifies whether the CA supports alias names (user friendly names) | +| CODEPAGE* | STRING | Specifies the additional code pages for the extended ASCII character sets the CA supports.

In the version from 1984 of ITU-T Recommendation X.420 the notifications were called SR-UAPDU. + +A recipient may create and send an IPN automatically or on request of the LA (explicit notification). The IPNs may either be: + +- a Receipt Notification (RN): the IPM was received; +- a Non Receipt Notification (NRN): the IPM was not delivered; in this case, the undelivered IPM may be transmitted with the NRN. + +Contrary to an IPN the DR is created by the message transfer system. The DRs are distinguished in: + +- a Delivery Report (DR); or +- a Non-delivery Report (NDR). + +In the Send and SendAck TDDs the LA may specify, which Interpersonal Notification (IPN) or Delivery Report (DR) shall be generated for each recipient. For more information see 16.2.2.6, 16.4 and 16.5. + +MHS and other E-Mail systems allow complete IPMs - consisting of heading and body parts – to be transferred as body part in a message. + +This Recommendation supports the transfer of such body parts in the Send (SendAck) and Receive TDDs through a specific Type-id-parameter (the Type-ID MESSAGE, see 16.2.2.2). Since the content of such a body part is encoded10), this Recommendation allows to decode and encode such a body part by use of the EncodeIPM and DecodeIPM TDDs. + +In case of MHS the IPM is encoded according to ASN.1 BER. + +The EncodeIPM and DecodeIPM TDDs shall be implemented using the . The extensions are called: + +- ; and +- respectively. + +The EncodeIPM and DecodeIPM TDDs are described in 16.3.3. + +### 16.1 Service Specific Syntax Elements + +Below the service dependent extensions of the generic TDD syntax referred to in 6.1 are shown: + +``` + := + [] + (( []) | ) + [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + + := + [] + (( []) | ) + [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + [] [] + + := + [] + (( []) | ) + [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] +``` + +--- + +10) In case of MHS the IPM is encoded according to ASN.1 BER. + +``` + + := + | + + := + + (( []) | ) + [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] + + := + + (( ) | ) + [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + [] [] [] [] [] + +``` + +Table 99 describes the additional syntax elements for the E-Mail services.

Most of these addressed service elements are optional. + +Enhanced features provided at the interface level for E-Mail access are: + +- transmission and reception of notifications; +- reception of delivery reports; +- transmission and reception of E-Mail message(s) included in an E-Mail message (e.g. IPM as body part). + +It is required that a CA implementation conforms to this Recommendation, even if not all possible features are supported. To improve the interoperability between LAs and CAs from different vendors, the concept of "profile" is introduced. + +The profiles: + +- X400-IPM; +- BasicX400-IPM; +- SimpleEMail. + +define functional service subsets offered at the interface level described in this Recommendation15). + +Together with the ICE and the functional classes the profile concept identifies the E-Mail service elements supported by a CA. + +A CA may support one or more profiles. Moreover, implementers may describe and name their own profiles. + +#### **16.7.1 Service Profile X400-IPM** + +The X400-IPM profile comprises all X.400 service elements provided at the interface level of this Recommendation to support the conveyance of IPMs16) (see Table 114). + +#### **16.7.2 Service Profile BasicX400-IPM** + +The BasicX400-IPM profile specifies the basic functional subset of X.400 service elements provided at the interface level of this Recommendation to support the conveyance of IPMs (see Table 115). + +#### **16.7.3 Service Profile SimpleEMail** + +The SimpleEMail profile was introduced to enable access to E-Mail services which are not conforming to the open communication X.400-Series of Recommendation. It provides a minimal functional subset of E-Mail service elements provided at the interface level of this Recommendation (see Table 116). + +### **16.8 CA-Descriptor Settings** + +A CA supporting E-Mail services shall specify in the CA-Descriptor the body parts (document Transmission Formats), the profile(s) and the Content-Types supported (see also 9.5). + +For support of the EncodeIPM and DecodeIPM TDD, the EXTEND keyword of the CA-Descriptor has to be set accordingly. Table 117 depicts this. + +## **17 Service: File Transfer** + +This Recommendation allows sending or receiving information through File Transfer services. However, full control of File Transfer services through the interface is not intended. + +--- + +15) Other profiles like EDIM and EDIN are for further study. + +16) The profile X400-IPM is specified

The general BNF rules described below are employed throughout this Recommendation. + +- A terminal token (leaf) is noted by a literal. If the literal cannot be distinguished from the literals used to describe the syntax, then the token shall be enclosed in double quotes ("). +- Strings of characters enclosed in double quote characters denote terminal tokens that consist of the constant text formed by those strings. +- A non-terminal token (node) is noted by a literal delimited by the "<" (lower than) and ">" (greater than) characters. +- An optional token (or group of tokens) is delimited with the "[" and "]" characters. +- A group of tokens is delimited by the "(" and ")" characters. Groups can be nested. +- A group of tokens enclosed in "{" and "}" may be repeated 0, 1 or more times. +- The character "|" is used to separate alternative tokens (or groups of tokens). + +- The string ":@" is used as the production delimiter. +- Tokens are separated by space or tabulation characters (or a combination of the two). +- The string "--" is used to introduce a comment in the BNF description. The comment finishes at the end of the line. BNF comments cannot be nested. + +Applied to text based encodings: + +- The terminal token STRING denotes a string of characters encoded as implied by the value of the Code-ID (see Table 14). The string of characters may be of a limited size, as stated by the token STRING(SIZE(xxx..yyy)). In this case, xxx denotes the minimum string length, yyy denotes the maximum string length. +- The special notation "STRING( xxxx + yyyy)" where "xxxx" and "yyyy" are character strings results in a string formed by the concatenation of "xxxx" and "yyyy". +- The terminal token PATH denotes a STRING containing only characters valid as absolute path specification for the underlying operating system. +- The terminal token NUMERIC-STRING denotes a string of characters representing a number. Only digits 0 to 9 may be used. +- The token ↵ indicates that a line break occurs. However, it is possible to include a comment in a TDD by ending the TDD line with a semicolon character, the comment itself, and the line break. +- The order implied by the production rules in the BNF description may not be the order in which the tokens have to be encoded. The additional rules for the encoding schemes specify the order, if any, that has to be respected. + +### A.2 C-Language Notation + +The generic C-Language notation used is based on the current ANSI standard. So, if gathered in a file, the descriptions can be compiled by existing ANSI compilers. However, in the operating system dependent sections, application of the appropriate compilers is required. In general, the descriptions are based on following conventions: + +- The first 16 characters of definitions and variable names are significant; +- Upper and lower case are differentiated. + +## Annex B + +### Location of the ICE + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation) + +The Interface Configuration Environment (ICE), represents a "global" source for all local applications (LAs) conforming to this Recommendation. + +On the operating systems UNIX, MacOS and the operating systems belonging to the Microsoft family (OS/2, MS-DOS, etc.), the Master ICE is represented by a file17). In a LAN computing environment such as Netware, Vines or LAN Manager, the Master ICE is also presented as a file. This file shall be opened and read by the application in order to extract the information about the CAs accessible within the system. The name of the file on the systems or networks mentioned above is "APPLICOM.ICE". + +--- + +17) A "file" in this context means either a real operating system file or an operating system device driver, which behaves exactly as a file. + +The Master ICE file is located differently on the above-mentioned systems. On some systems there exists an "environment variable"18), which may hold the path to the ICE. In those cases the variable is named "APPLICOM" (all capitals). The following algorithms for determining the ICE location shall be used (see Table B.1): + +TABLE B.1/T.611 +**Determination of Master ICE location** + +| Operating System | Algorithm | +|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| UNIX | First look in the Environment variable "APPLICOM". If there is no variable, then the ICE is located in the /dev subdirectory and named "APPLICOM_ICE" | +| MacOS | The ICE is located in the System folder | +| MS-DOS | Look in the Environment variable "APPLICOM". If this variable does not exist, this should be regarded as an error | +| Windows | File is named "ICE.INI" and located in the local windows directory of the LA system. If this file does not exist, look into file "WIN.INI" in the windows directory, section [APPLICOM_ICE] | + +In a LAN computing environment, the Master ICE file should be installed by the system administrator on a shared directory which is accessible by all potential LAs. + +Individual CA-Descriptor files or drivers for CAs in a single user or LAN environment do not need to be installed on the same directory as the Master-ICE, but should be placed on directories accessible to all LAs. + +The following naming convention shall be used for CA-Descriptor files or drivers: + +CAnnnnAC. + +where: + +nnnn is a number in the range 1..9999 + +and: + + := ("ini" | "exe" | "dll" | ) + +"ini" shall be used for the case of a text file, and may be defined by the CA-Manufacturer based upon the naming conventions used within the target computing environment. + +Access to the CA-Descriptor(s) for an individual CA shall be defined within the Master-ICE in the form of a path parameter (path plus file name). The default location for the CA-Descriptor if no path is defined shall be upon the same path as the Master-ICE. + +18) Operating systems like UNIX or MS-DOS provide a so called "Environment" which consists of a set of ASCII strings applied to an ASCII represented variable. + +## Annex C + +### List of APPLI/COM Error Codes + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation) + +Table C.1 states the error codes which shall be used commonly by CA implementations conforming to this Recommendation. + +TABLE C.1/T.611 + +### List of error codes + +| Error code a) | Error text | Comment | +|--------------------------|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| +| 0000 | Success | No error – Successfull operation | +| 0001-4999 | Private use | Reserved for CA private use | +| 5000 | CA Interface Error | | +| 5001 | Unsupported Service specified | | +| 5002 | File "FILENAME" already exists | CA cannot create or write "FILENAME" file | +| 5003 | Error creating "TARGET" | CA cannot create or write "TARGET" file | +| 5004 | Error reading Address List | | +| 5005 | Error reading Document List | | +| 5006 | Error reading Document | | +| 5007 | Error writing Document | | +| 5008 | "Code-ID" not supported | | +| 5009 | Invalid "Connection-ID" | | +| 5010 | Invalid "CA-ID" | | +| 5011-5499 | Reserved | Reserved for further study | +| 5500-5999 | Private use | Reserved for CA private use | +| 6000 | Syntax Error | | +| 6001 | Unknown Function requested | | +| 6002 | TDD is empty | | +| 6003 | APPLI/COM Header is invalid | Invalid length or contents | +| 6004 | Parser Error (TDD line too long) | | +| 6005 | Parser Error (TDD line too short) | | +| 6006 | Multiple Occurencies of Keyword | | +| 6007 | Parameter has wrong Size | | +| 6008 | Keyword ERROR is missing | | +| 6009 | Mandatory Keyword is missing | | +| 6010 | Undefined Keyword | | +| 6011 | Conflicting Keywords | | +| 6012 | Parameter out of Range | | +| 6013 | Keywords out of Sequence | Order: FUNCTION, SUBFUNC, others... | +| 6014 | Keyword Separator missing | Colon (":") is missing | +| 6015 | Invalid "LA-ID" | | + +TABLE C.1/T.611 (*end*) + +### **List of error codes** + +| Error code a) | Error text | Comment | +|--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| +| 6016 | Invalid "REQ-ID" | | +| 6017 | Invalid "COM-ID" | | +| 6018 | Invalid "Service-ID" | | +| 6019 | "Type-ID" does not fit to "Service-ID" | | +| 6020 | "Conversion-ID" does not fit to "Type-ID" | | +| 6021 | "TARGET" File missing | Applies to COPY TDD | +| 6022 | Invalid Code-ID | Allowed are: "A", "B", "C", "E", "I" or "P" | +| 6023 | Incompatible Interface Version | APPLI/COM Header Version does not fit | +| 6024-6499 | Reserved | Reserved for further study | +| 6500-6999 | Private use | Reserved for CA private use | +| 7000 | Hardware/System related Error | | +| 7001-7499 | Reserved | Reserved for further study | +| 7500-7999 | Private use | Reserved for CA private use | +| 8000 | Error during Document Conversion | | +| 8001 | Invalid Transfer Format | | +| 8002 | Unexpected End of Document | | +| 8003 | Unexpected Error accessing Document | | +| 8004 | Error during T.61 Conversion | | +| 8005 | Error during ASCII Conversion | | +| 8006 | Error during TIFF Conversion | | +| 8007 | Error during T.4 Conversion | | +| 8008 | Error during T.6 Conversion | | +| 8009-8499 | Reserved | Reserved for further study | +| 8500-8999 | Private use | Reserved for CA private use | +| 9000 | Transmission Error | | +| 9001 | Connection broken | | +| 9002 | Remote Destination busy | | +| 9003 | Connection set-up failed | | +| 9006 | Transmission Error (Transport Layer) | | +| 9007 | Transmission Error (Session Layer) | | +| 9008 | Remote Destination closed Connection | | +| 9009 | Remote Destination has call denied | | +| 9010 | Remote Destination not compatible | | +| 9011 | Transmission Failure – Document Error | | +| 9012-9499 | Reserved | Reserved for further study | +| 9500-9999 | Private use | Reserved for CA private use | +| a) Error codes are given in decimal. | | | + +## Annex D + +### Examples of TTD Exchanges + +(This annex does not form an integral part of this Recommendation) + +### D.1 A Sample Send Session + +An LA-running on a MS-DOS (or Windows) based system - wants to send a document (which contains graphic information), say the document "c:\dtp\graphic1.tif" to an addressee via facsimile group 3 services.

It shall be invoked by the LA before any LA-CA interchange of Request TDDs and responses. + +##### F.1.1.1 Purpose + +The function Login returns to the LA a "Connection-ID" that will be used all along the LA-CA interaction until the LA logs out. + +The login function is the place where a CA may control access of an LA to it. This can be achieved by checking the Login-name and the Password given by the LA. However, to which extent control of the access rights is performed, is up to the CA implementation. + +##### F.1.1.2 Behaviour + +The CA checks the parameters of the Login call. If they match, it then generates a Connection-ID the LA shall use subsequently in PutTDD, PollTDD, GetTDD and Logout function calls. The LA shall wait for the return status to proceed: if the Connection-ID returned is set to Null (zero), it means the CA failed to connect the LA due to identification failures. + +##### F.1.1.3 Parameters + +The following parameters are required (see Table F.2). + +TABLE F.2/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the Login function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|----------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| +| Login-Name | String | States the name of the LA user, used to connect an LA to a CA (differs from the LA-ID) | Input Parameter | +| Password | String | The LA gives its password so that the CA can identify the LA | Input Parameter | +| Connection-ID | Integer | Returned by the CA if the Login function succeeds. Otherwise (e.g. identification failed) the CA sets the value to NULL and the error code is given by the Status parameter (see below) | Output Parameter | +| Status | Integer | Return error code (0000 means success) | Output Parameter | + +#### **F.1.2 Function PutTDD** + +The function PutTDD shall be supported by the CA. It may be invoked by an LA. + +##### **F.1.2.1 Purpose** + +The purpose of the PutTDD function is to transmit a Request TDD from an LA to a CA. + +##### **F.1.2.2 Behaviour** + +The CA copies the Request TDD carried by the PutTDD function into its internal structures. The result is composed of a status notified immediately to the requesting LA, and a REQ-ID reference. + +The TDD is then parsed by the CA which will further process it as required by the nature of the TDD. + +##### **F.1.2.3 Parameters** + +The following parameters are required (see Table F.3). + +TABLE F.3/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the PutTDD function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|----------------|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | The connection identifier returned by the Login function | Input Parameter | +| TDD location | Memory address | Specifies where the LA's TDD is located so that the CA can copy it into its own internal structure. When the function is complete, the LA's TDD may be deleted or used for other purposes | Input Parameter | +| TDD size | Integer | Indicates the size of the TDD so that the CA can allocate enough internal resources to handle it | Input Parameter | +| Status | Integer | Acknowledges the PutTDD function. Return error code (0000 means success) | Output Parameter | + +#### F.1.3 Function PollTDD + +The PollTDD function asks the CA how many Response TDDs are waiting to be handled by the requesting LA. The PollTDD returns the number of Response TDDs waiting, and the type and size of the first Response TDD that will be returned by the next call to the GetTDD function. + +##### F.1.3.1 Purpose + +The purpose of the PollTDD function is to prepare the LA for the handling of a possible Response TDD coming from a CA. It also gives an indication of the number of Response TDDs that are waiting to be handled by the LA. + +##### F.1.3.2 Behaviour + +When the CA has many Response TDDs available, it chooses the one it will return first. This Response TDD is the TDD that will be transmitted to the LA at the next GetTDD function call emitted by the same LA. + +When no Response TDD is available for the requesting LA, the return status is set to the value zero, in which case the TDD size returned is set to zero. If the TDD that was submitted is erroneous or unknown, e.g. the is missing, then the function returns the original Request TDD, and sets the return status to the value zero. + +When a Response TDD is available, the LA shall allocate an empty TDD which will hold the copy of the Response TDD still under CA control. Table F.4 below shows the various TDD types defined. + +TABLE F.4/T.611 + +**Assignment of TDD types** + +| Number | TDD type | Number | TDD type | +|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|--------|-------------------| +| 0 | Unknown or erroneous TDD was submitted, or no Response TDD available | 4 | SUBMIT Response | +| 1 | SEND Response | 5 | EXTEND Response | +| 2 | RECEIVE Response | 6 | NATIONAL Response | +| 3 | TRACE group Response | 7 | PRIVATE Response | + +##### F.1.3.3 Parameters + +The following parameters are required (see Table F.5). + +#### F.1.4 Function GetTDD + +The function GetTDD shall be supported by the CA. It may be invoked by an LA. + +##### F.1.4.1 Purpose + +The purpose of the GetTDD function is to retrieve a Response TDD from a CA. The CA copies the Response TDD into an internal structure of the LA. + +TABLE F.5/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the PollTDD function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|----------------|-----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | The connection identifier returned by the Login function | Input Parameter | +| TDD size | Integer | Indicates the size of the next Response TDD so that the LA can prepare enough resources to handle it | Output Parameter | +| TDD type | Integer | Indicates which type of TDD the LA shall receive next. See above for values | Output Parameter | +| TDD count | Integer | Indicates the number of Response TDDs that are waiting to be retrieved by the LA. NULL means no TDD is waiting | Output Parameter | +| Status | Integer | Acknowledges the PollTDD function. Return error code (0000 means success) | Output Parameter | + +##### **F.1.4.2 Behaviour** + +The LA indicates the location of an empty TDD where the CA shall copy a Response TDD that is available for the LA. + +The CA shall return to the LA the Response TDD that was qualified by the previous PollTDD function emitted by the same LA. The LA shall have prepared a recipient Response TDD area in its internal structures. The invocation of a GetTDD function by an LA shall always be preceded by a PollTDD function call. + +If the LA invokes two or more consecutive GetTDD functions (without an intermediate PollTDD function call) always the same TDD will be returned (the one indicated in the last PollTDD function return). + +##### **F.1.4.3 Parameters** + +The following parameters are required (see Table F.6). + +TABLE F.6/T.611 + +##### **Parameters of the GetTDD function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|----------------|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | The connection identifier returned by the Login function | Input Parameter | +| TDD location | Memory address | Specifies where the CA can copy the Response TDD into the LA's internal structure. When the function is complete, the CA's Response TDD may be deleted or used for other purposes | Input/Output Parameter | +| TDD size | Integer | Indicates the size of the empty TDD handed to the CA | Input Parameter | +| Status | Integer | Acknowledges the GetTDD function. Return error code (0000 means success) | Output Parameter | + +#### F.1.5 Function SetAlarm + +The function SetAlarm can optionally be supported by the CA. It can optionally be invoked by an LA. If the SetAlarm function is used by an LA, then that LA shall support the CallBackRoutine function. Support of the SetAlarm function is declared in the ICE. + +##### F.1.5.1 Purpose + +The purpose of the SetAlarm function is to declare to the CA the entry point of the CallBackRoutine function. The SetAlarm function indicates to the CA it can awake the LA by invoking the CallBackRoutine function. This function may be invoked only once during an LA/CA dialogue session. + +##### F.1.5.2 Behaviour + +The CA shall record the location of the CallBackRoutine function assigned by the LA. The CA can record as many CallBackRoutine locations as there are different logged-in LAs. The CA can then awake a particular LA by invoking its CallBackRoutine. + +##### F.1.5.3 Parameters + +The following parameters are required (see Table F.7). + +TABLE F.7/T.611 + +**Parameters of the SetAlarm function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|--------------------------|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | The connection identifier returned by the Login function | Input Parameter | +| CallBackRoutine location | Memory address | Specifies the entry point of a particular LA CallBackRoutine function | Input Parameter | +| Status | Integer | Acknowledges the SetAlarm function. Return error code (0000 means success) | Output Parameter | + +#### F.1.6 Function CallBackRoutine + +The CallBackRoutine function can optionally be supported by the LA. It can optionally be invoked by a CA. In order to be invoked by the CA, the LA shall have declared it to the CA by means of the SetAlarm function. + +##### F.1.6.1 Purpose + +The CallBackRoutine function defines a mechanism that allows a CA to alert the LA that some Response TDDs are available. The use of this optional mechanism can improve the flow control between LAs and CAs on heavily loaded systems. + +Invocation of the CallBackRoutine by a CA does not guarantee that the LA will poll the CA within a certain delay. It only ensures that the LA will receive an alarm from a specific CA. + +The CA may invoke repeatedly the CallBackRoutine function of a given LA if that LA does not poll the CA quickly enough. + +There is only one CallBack Address allowed per LA. However, if an LA wishes to be called in dependency of a specific event, the LA has to implement this feature by itself within the back-called function. + +##### F.1.6.2 Behaviour + +The CallBackRoutine is designed to allow a logged-in CA to alert the LA that the CA needs to be polled via the PollTDD function. Thus the LA should poll the CA as soon as possible so that the CA does not enter an overflow error condition. + +##### F.1.6.3 Parameter + +The following parameter is required (see Table F.8). + +TABLE F.8/T.611 + +**Parameters of the CallBackRoutine function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|----------------|-----------|----------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | The connection identifier returned by the Login function | Input Parameter | + +#### F.1.7 Function Logout + +The function Logout shall be supported by the CA. It shall be invoked by the LA on completion of any LA-CA interchange of Request TDDs and responses. + +##### F.1.7.1 Purpose + +The function Logout returns to the LA a status that states whether the LA-CA interaction has finished orderly. + +##### F.1.7.2 Behaviour + +Before completing the LA-CA dialogue, the CA may (but is not obliged to) process all pending Request TDDs that were put out by that LA. + +##### F.1.7.3 Parameters + +The following parameters are required (see Table F.9). + +TABLE F.9/T.611 + +**Parameters of the Logout function** + +| Parameter Name | Structure | Comment | Direction | +|----------------|-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------| +| Connection-ID | Integer | The connection identifier returned by the Login function | Input Parameter | +| Status | Integer | Returned by the CA. Indicates whether logout was orderly processed.

The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. + +The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, established the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. + +ITU-T Recommendation T.62 *bis* was revised by the ITU-T Study Group VIII (1988-1993) and was approved by the WTSC (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). + +# NOTES + +1 As a consequence of a reform process within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the CCITT ceased to exist as of 28 February 1993. In its place, the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) was created as of 1 March 1993. Similarly, in this reform process, the CCIR and the IFRB have been replaced by the Radiocommunication Sector. + +In order not to delay publication of this Recommendation, no change has been made in the text to references containing the acronyms “CCITT, CCIR or IFRB” or their associated entities such as Plenary Assembly, Secretariat, etc. Future editions of this Recommendation will contain the proper terminology related to the new ITU structure. + +2 In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration” is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. + +# CONTENTS + +| | | Page | +|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| +| 1 | Scope and field of application | 1 | +| 2 | References | 1 | +| 3 | Actions for performing the control procedures for Teletex and Group 4 facsimile | 1 | +| 3.1 | General | 1 | +| 3.2 | Session connection establishment phase | 1 | +| 3.3 | Session termination phase | 2 | +| 3.4 | Document management | 2 | +| 3.5 | Miscellaneous | 5 | +| 4 | Usage of the session service | 7 | +| 4.1 | General | 7 | +| 4.2 | Session connection establishment | 8 | +| 4.3 | Session termination phase | 12 | +| 4.4 | Data transfer phase | 13 | +| 5 | Recommendations for implementing the session layer | 18 | +| 5.1 | Additional parameters | 18 | +| 5.2 | Implementation choices | 21 | +| Annex A – Definitions | | 23 | +| A.1 | General | 23 | +| A.2 | Session layer mode of communication | 23 | +| A.3 | Terms specific to document | 24 | +| Annex B – State diagrams | | 24 | +| Annex C – Types of documents | | 29 | +| C.1 | General | 29 | +| C.2 | Normal document | 29 | +| C.3 | Operator document (optional) | 29 | +| C.4 | Control document | 29 | +| C.5 | Monitor document (optional) | 29 | +| Annex D – Protocols for interactive applications | | 30 | + +# INTRODUCTION + +This Recommendation is related to other Recommendations. + +In particular it is related to certain Recommendations as defined by the Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection (see Recommendation X.200). + +This Recommendation is based on the description of the session service (see Recommendation X.215) and the session protocol (see Recommendation X.225) as shown in Figure 1. + +![Diagram showing the relationship between X.215, T.62 bis, and X.225 (1) as equivalent to T.62.](d62e2e2281009c16f4ee61660e716cd9_img.jpg) + +``` + + X.215 ----> [ T.62 bis ] } + [ X.225 (1) ] } Equivalent to T.62 + +``` + +T0817530-94/d01 + +Diagram showing the relationship between X.215, T.62 bis, and X.225 (1) as equivalent to T.62. + +FIGURE 1/T.62 *bis* + +For this Recommendation, Version 1 of the session protocol is used. This implies several types of restrictions, for example on the length of the user data fields. These restrictions are fully described for the protocol in Annex D/X.225 and they must be applied in the same way at the service. + +# NOTES + +- 1 Only the services and protocol elements relevant to Recommendation T.62 procedures are used (see Table 1). +- 2 The session protocol described in Recommendation X.225 is based on the services provided by the transport layer as described in Recommendations X.214 and X.224. + +For compatibility with Teletex and Group 4 facsimile, additional rules (in accordance with Recommendation T.70, clause 5, including Annexes A and B) must be applied when using the transport service and protocol (see Recommendations X.214 and X.224, class 0). + +The control procedure for Teletex and Group 4 facsimile are currently described in Recommendation T.62. + +Recommendation T.62 may be superseded by this Recommendation and the appropriate session layer service and protocol described in the Recommendations X.215 and X.225. + +When using either Recommendation T.62 *bis* (based on the X-Series Recommendations) or Recommendation T.62 (based on Recommendation T.70) it is intended that the externally visible protocols are equal. + +It is the intention that Recommendations X.215 and X.225 together with this Recommendation do have the same level of detail and accuracy as Recommendation T.62 already has. However, for the time being Recommendation T.62 will be kept and in cases of discrepancy and/or incompatibility, Recommendation T.62 will take precedence over Recommendations X.215 and X.225 together with the application rules described in this Recommendation. + +This Recommendation covers all of Recommendation T.62 including the annexes. + +# CONTROL PROCEDURES FOR TELETEX AND G4 FACSIMILE SERVICES BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS X.215 AND X.225 + +*(Melbourne, 1988; amended at Helsinki, 1993)* + +# 1 Scope and field of application + +This Recommendation defines: + +- 1) A set of rules for using the OSI Session Service. +- 2) The additional requirements for the implementation to conform to the control procedures for Teletex and Group 4 facsimile services. + +The set of rules consists of: + +- The actions to be taken by the session user for performing the control procedures. +- The description of the use of the session service primitives and their parameters. +- The encoding of parameters not covered by the session layer (for these parameters see also 5.2). These parameters are described as additional parameters for each primitive and each SPDU where appropriate. The length and value of these parameters are provided by the SS-user and no checking is made by the session layer itself. + +# 2 References + +Recommendations F.161, F.200, X.215, X.225, T.563, T.503, T.521, T.6, T.35, T.60, T.61, T.62, T.400-Series, T.390 and X.200. + +# 3 Actions for performing the control procedures for Teletex and Group 4 facsimile + +This clause describes the Teletex application protocol in terms of actions involving the session service primitives. + +## 3.1 General + +The control procedures for Teletex and Group 4 facsimile are designed to allow data to be transferred and managed between terminals in the form of documents. The present Recommendation only provides for the transfer of documents. As a consequence, no transfer of data can take place outside a document. + +- A *document* is composed of one or more *pages*. +- Pages are sent sequentially and each page has to be individually *acknowledged*. However, several pages may be sent without waiting for the acknowledgement and the number of pages which can be sent in this manner is called the *window-size*. +- The transfer of a document is executed from the *source* to the *sink* (see 3.2.3 and 3.4). For the purpose of the description, in the remainder of the text, the source is also called the *sender* and the sink is also called the *receiver*. + +## 3.2 Session connection establishment phase + +**3.2.1** The calling SS-user initiates the connection by issuing the S-CONNECT request primitive. + +The called SS-user may accept or refuse the connection by issuing the S-CONNECT response primitive. + +It is the responsibility of the initiator of the connection to examine the parameters sent by the remote terminal at session initiation and to determine whether the session should continue. If it is not to be continued, the session shall be ended normally. + +**3.2.2** A session connection is identified by means of: + +- a) the basic session reference (mandatory parameter) composed of: + - terminal identifier of the called terminal; + - terminal identifier of the calling terminal; + - date and time; +- b) an optional additional session reference number, to uniquely identify the session connection. + +**3.2.3** At session connection establishment, the data, minor synchronize and major/activity tokens shall be available and assigned to the initiator side. Thus at session initiation the initiator is defined as being the current source of text information and is therefore the source terminal. + +**3.2.4** When accepting the connection the called SS-user may request the session control by issuing the primitive S-TOKEN-PLEASE request. + +In continuing the session, neither terminal is permitted to use any procedure or to send any information that does not comply with the receiving capabilities indicated by the session partner in the service identifier and non-basic session and terminal capabilities parameters of the S-CONNECT primitives at session initiation and/or by the parameters of S-CAPABILITY-DATA primitives. + +**3.2.5** The following rules shall apply to the private use and presently not defined parameters: + +- a) The use of these parameters in other primitives than S-CONNECT and S-CAPABILITY-DATA must be negotiated upon in advance by S-CONNECT or S-CAPABILITY-DATA. Presence of these parameters unexpectedly in other primitives may result in procedural errors. +- b) The absence of a parameter of this kind in a response to S-CONNECT or S-CAPABILITY-DATA must be interpreted as an indication that the terminal is not capable of handling any of these functions. + +## **3.3 Session termination phase** + +The session connection is terminated by means of the S-RELEASE services for normal (or error-free) termination. + +The S-U-ABORT/S-P-ABORT services may be used at any time by either terminal to terminate a session, whenever a condition is detected indicating that the session cannot be continued successfully. S-U-ABORT/S-P-ABORT shall only be used when there is no other suitable way of ending the session. + +In the two-way alternate or one way communication mode, only the sender of the S-CONNECT request may send the S-RELEASE request when he is the current source. + +NOTE – The transport connection may be reused as a local implementation choice and this may depend on an application decision which may be passed across the session service interface. + +## **3.4 Document management** + +The document concept, as defined in Recommendation T.62, is mapped onto the activity concept of the session protocol. Consequently, the document number corresponds to the activity identifier. The transfer of a document is delimited by a start and an end. + +A document is sent by the source (sender) to the sink (receiver) and this transfer may only take place when the source owns all the available tokens. + +When the sink wants to send a document it may express this requirement by issuing an S-TOKEN-PLEASE primitive. When the transfer of a document is terminated, the sender may give the control to the receiver by issuing an S-CONTROL-GIVE primitive. But there is no requirement for sending text information prior to issuing an S-CONTROL-GIVE primitive. When the protocol element exchange corresponding to this primitive is executed, all the tokens are assigned to the receiver; consequently it becomes the source (or sender) and the former source becomes the sink (or receiver). A document transfer may then be started from the new source to the new sink. + +### 3.4.1 Start of document + +The S-ACTIVITY-START service indicates the start of a document. It also indicates the start of the first page. + +### 3.4.2 Page boundaries + +**3.4.2.1** The S-SYNC-MINOR service indicates the boundary between pages. It also indicates a checkpoint for error recovery purposes and invites the sink to accept responsibility for the previously received page. In the basic services a checkpoint must be inserted at each page boundary using S-MINOR-SYNC request. Each checkpoint must be explicitly acknowledged in the right sequence, by using S-SYNC-MINOR response. Consequently the checkpoint reference number corresponds to the minor synchronization point serial number. + +The S-SYNC-MINOR response shall be used to indicate that the receiver accepts responsibility for that page. If the receiver does not accept the responsibility for the page he shall use the S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT service. In this case the transmission must be interrupted by the sender using the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT or DISCARD services. + +The receiver may reject reception for a detected error, but he is not obliged to check the document for errors. Once a page has been positively acknowledged, any error recovery for the subsequent detection of an error is beyond the scope of these control procedures. + +**3.4.2.2** When a source terminal receives an S-SYNC-MINOR confirmation with the receiving ability jeopardized (RAJ) parameter set to 1 (see 4.4.6) during a document transmission, it may continue to transmit one or more pages until the window is closed. In this context the following rules apply: + +- a) if the source subsequently receives an S-SYNC-MINOR confirmation with the RAJ parameter set to 0 (see 4.4.6), it will be able to continue transmission; +- b) if the source subsequently receives an S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT with a parameter value “SS-user receiving ability jeopardized” (indicating “memory overflow”), the document transmission should be terminated abnormally. The source shall issue either an S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD request or an S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT request. + +**3.4.2.3** When a sink terminal sends an S-SYNC-MINOR response with the receiving ability jeopardized parameter set to 1, and subsequent memory overflow results in sending S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT, the value of the reason code will be “SS-user receiving ability jeopardized” (indicating “unable to continue the session”). + +### 3.4.3 End of document + +**3.4.3.1** The S-ACTIVITY-END service shall be used to indicate the end of a document. It also indicates the end of the final page and as such represents the final checkpoint. The S-ACTIVITY-END response gives a positive acknowledgement to the last checkpoint. In the basic services this is the last page reference number. + +When confirming this service, the receiver shall indicate that: + +- a) he has not detected an error; +- b) he accepts responsibility for the received document; +- c) he is ready to receive a new S-ACTIVITY-START or S-ACTIVITY-RESUME request. + +To refuse the checkpoint indicated in S-ACTIVITY-END indication, the SS-user shall use the S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT service. + +**3.4.3.2** Only if the sink terminal has sent an S-ACTIVITY-END response and received a valid S-ACTIVITY-START, S-ACTIVITY-RESUME, S-ACTIVITY-DATA, S-DISCONNECT or S-CONTROL-GIVE indication, it is certain that the source terminal will not use error recovery procedures regarding the preceding document. In all other cases it can happen that after sending an S-ACTIVITY-END response a repetition of pages takes place and the duplications may be deleted by the sink terminal. + +### 3.4.4 Interruption of a document + +Documents may be interrupted or discarded by using the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT or S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD services. + +**3.4.4.1** The S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT service shall be used to indicate the abnormal ending of a document but the part of the document received so far should not be discarded. When the receiver of a document sends an S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT response, this means that he has already accepted the responsibility for the received document (up to the last checkpoint for which a positive acknowledgement has been sent). It does not indicate that he will be able to perform the linking of the following parts of the interrupted document. + +**3.4.4.2** The S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD service shall be used to indicate the abnormal ending of a document and that the receiver of the document is not held responsible for the part of the document received so far. Therefore, as a local function outside these control procedures, the receiver can delete the part of the text received. + +###### NOTES + +1 The S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD service is an invitation to discard the whole of the document and not merely the part of the document transmitted since the last S-ACTIVITY-RESUME. + +2 The receiving terminal may discard the document from its memory (but has no obligation to do so) and/or indicate to the operator that this part of the document has no value. If the text is not deleted, the operator shall be informed. + +3 The use of the S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD service for Group 4 facsimile is for further study. + +**3.4.4.3** There are two ways that the sender is permitted to recover from an interrupted transmission: + +- a) a cancellation is achieved by the subsequent use of the S-ACTIVITY-RESUME and S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD services and the transmission will be resumed by the S-ACTIVITY-START service; +- b) the sender may resume by use of the S-ACTIVITY-RESUME service, starting at that point in the document corresponding to the last checkpoint for which an acknowledgement was received. + +**3.4.4.4** If, during document transmission, an abnormal condition occurs, with the exception of the one described in 3.4.4.5, the following rules apply: + +- a) In the case that a document transmission was initiated by S-ACTIVITY-START request and no minor synchronization point has been positively acknowledged, either the S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD or INTERRUPT service should be used. If the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT service is used it should be interpreted as an S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD. In this case, however, it is necessary to reply with an S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT response to the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT indication as required by the session service definition. It is only a matter of different semantic interpretation of the service by the session service user. +- b) In all other cases S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT or DISCARD service should be used. + +**3.4.4.5** The following rules apply if the session is aborted during document transmission: + +- a) If document transmission was initiated by S-ACTIVITY-START request and no minor synchronization point has been positively acknowledged during that transmission, both sending and receiving entities shall treat the failure as if the S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD service had been correctly initiated and completed. +- b) In other cases, both sending and receiving entities shall treat the failure as if the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT service had been correctly initiated and completed. + +### **3.4.5 Resumption of a document** + +The S-ACTIVITY-RESUME service indicates the continuation of a document that has previously been partially transmitted. + +The linking of the parts of an interrupted document is a local operation at the receiver and is therefore not within the responsibility of the control procedures. Thus these procedures cannot guarantee that this linking of parts of a document will be effected. + +###### NOTES + +1 The checkpoint reference number appearing in the primitive S-ACTIVITY-RESUME is the last checkpoint reference number for which a positive acknowledgement has been received. It should be noted that positive acknowledgement may have been sent by the sink terminal but not received by the source terminal. + +2 If several continuations are required to complete transmission of a document, they are all linked to the partial transmission in which the activity start service was used. The sequence of checkpoint reference numbers is then used to identify the correct sequencing of parts to be linked, this sequence and all such continuations must be transmitted in this order. + +3 It is the responsibility of the receiver to discard any text information that has been duplicated in the process of continuation of an interrupted transmission. + +### **3.4.6 Exchange of terminal capabilities** + +Outside document transfer (outside activities) the S-CAPABILITY-DATA service may be used to exchange information to enable a check of the terminal capabilities (both standardized and private use) and to investigate the storage capability of the remote terminal. + +The primitive shall include a parameter with a list of receiving capabilities that may be needed at the receiver by the sender of this primitive. + +Storage that has been reserved by the S-CAPABILITY-DATA service can be released after session termination or when a new S-CAPABILITY-DATA indication with storage requirement indication is received. + +### **3.4.7 Exception conditions** + +**3.4.7.1** Detection of a protocol error may cause the SS-provider to issue an S-P-EXCEPTION-REPORT indication. On receipt of an S-P-EXCEPTION-REPORT indication, the SS-user shall use the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT or S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD service (subject to the tokens restrictions); it may also use the S-U-ABORT service. + +**3.4.7.2** The receiver of a document may issue an S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT request at any time after having received an S-ACTIVITY-START or S-ACTIVITY-RESUME indication. It may issue an S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT request after having received an S-SYNC-MINOR indication, or an S-ACTIVITY-END indication instead of giving the confirmation. + +When receiving an S-U-EXCEPTION-REPORT indication, the SS-user shall use either the S-ACTIVITY-INTERRUPT or S-ACTIVITY-DISCARD service; it may also use the S-U-ABORT service. + +## **3.5 Miscellaneous** + +### **3.5.1 Acknowledgement window** + +**3.5.1.1** The window mechanism has been introduced in order to allow continuous transmission of pages. It may also be used by the receiving terminal to resolve local time problems without affecting the continuous transmission. + +NOTE – For efficiency reasons, the receiving terminal will transmit the response to acknowledge outstanding checkpoing(s) as soon as possible. + +The design of the terminal should be such that continuous reception is possible in normal operation of the terminal (e.g. with an average Teletex page content of 1600 octets). The use of the window mechanism should take into account the quality of service requirements in Recommendations F.200 and F.161. + +In the basic Teletex service, the sender is prohibited from exceeding an acknowledgement window size of three. The maximum window size may be negotiated during session establishment. + +**3.5.1.2** The following rules should apply to the use of window size: + +- a) The indication of the window size parameter is not mandatory for the Teletex service, but is mandatory for the Group 4 facsimile service (in the S-CONNECT request and response). It may have a value in the range of 1 to 255. The absence of this parameter in S-CONNECT request or response must be interpreted as the default value of three for the Teletex service. +- b) All Teletex terminals should support a window size of 3. Group 4 facsimile terminals of Classes 2 and 3 should be able to support a window size of 3 when interworking with Teletex. Enhanced Teletex terminals (e.g. with mixed-mode capability) and all Group 4 facsimile terminals may require other window sizes. +- c) The source terminal is free to use any window size that does not exceed the window size indicated by the sink terminal (in S-CONNECT request or response). +- d) If the sender of S-CONNECT request or response is a basic Teletex terminal which does not indicate any parameter for the window size, the receiver should be aware that the sender may ignore any window size indicated and use the window size of 3. + +### 3.5.2 Negotiation of optional capabilities + +Two methods are provided. The first is used at session initiation to exchange a limited list of capabilities (S-CONNECT service). The second method may be used when required, after session initiation, to indicate the sender's requirements for extended capabilities (S-CAPABILITY-DATA, S-ACTIVITY-START, S-ACTIVITY-RESUME services). + +### 3.5.3 Negotiation of storage requirements + +Storage availability can be indicated in the following ways: + +- a) When a Teletex session is established, it is implicitly assumed that there is adequate receive memory for the call. Exceptionally a receiver memory overflow will occur. The continued sending of the document from the source will be stopped by the sink. The sink shall indicate the reason for stopping the transmission. +- b) When a Group 4 facsimile session is established, it can only be assumed that the called terminal has adequate recording paper to print at least one page of information (for basic Class 1 apparatus). Negotiation of storage requirements is mandatory for Group 4 Classes 2 and 3 facsimile apparatus. Having negotiated this requirement, exceptionally, a receive memory overflow may occur. The continued sending of the document from the source will be stopped by the sink. The sink shall indicate the reason for stopping the transmission. +- c) The provision is also made in the procedure for a mandatory indication that the ability of the receiving terminal to continue to accept traffic is jeopardized. +- d) The S-CAPABILITY-DATA service also provides the possibility to investigate the storage availability at the receiving terminal prior to the transmission of a document. + +### 3.5.4 Timer handling + +The timer handling is based on the occurrence of certain events. These events may be protocol elements or service primitives and it is assumed that there is no time delay between the occurrence of a session service primitive and the related protocol element and vice versa. + +Two types of timer are defined: + +- inactivity timer; +- demand-response timer. + +### 3.5.5 Inactivity timer + +**3.5.5.1** During the lifetime of a session connection, the sink terminal is responsible for the detection of any period of inactivity in excess of the inactivity timer value (indicating for example a failure or another inability to continue productive use of the session). The inactivity timer value may be negotiated. The default value is 60 seconds. + +**3.5.5.2** The inactivity timer is used by the sink terminal to detect any period during which no protocol element is exchanged. Such period must be detected whenever the transport connection exists. + +This timer is started or restarted on reception or sending of each event by the sink terminal when further action is expected from the source terminal. + +This timer is stopped on reception of an event by the sink terminal when no further action is expected from the source terminal. + +When the timer expires, the S-ABORT service shall be used. + +Further information can also be found in Figure B.1. + +**3.5.5.3** The following rules apply to the negotiation of the value of the inactivity timer: + +- a) An inactivity timer value different from 60 seconds will apply only if this parameter is indicated by both terminals, i.e. negotiation, at session establishment (via S-CONNECT) or document boundaries (via S-CAPABILITY-DATA). +- b) If both terminals indicate an inactivity timer value, the following rules apply for the duration of the session or until a subsequent negotiation has taken place: + - i) the smaller of the two values applies when both values are greater than or equal to 60 seconds; + +- ii) the larger of the two values applies when both values are less than 60 seconds. +- iii) a timer value of 60 seconds applies if one value is above and one is below 60 seconds. + +### **3.5.6 Demand response timer** + +#### **3.5.6.1** The demand/response timer is managed by the source terminal + +This timer is responsible for detection of any period of time during which the sink terminal has failed to send a response/acknowledgement. The value of that timer is 60 seconds. Negotiation of the demand response timer value is for further study. + +**3.5.6.2** In general, this timer has to be started by the source terminal for each event towards the sink terminal for which a response/acknowledgement is expected. + +It is stopped when a response is received. When the timer expires, the S-ABORT service shall be used. + +#### **3.5.6.3** In the following special cases, specific actions are required: + +- on the occurrence of an abort primitive/SPDU (sent or received), the demand response timer is stopped if it has been started; +- reception of an exception-report indication (or associated SPDU) shall be considered as the response to the primitive (SPDU) sent previously. Consequently the associated action is to stop the timer. + +Further information can also be found in Figures B.1 and B.2. + +### **3.5.7 Document reference number** + +Document reference numbers (DRNs) shall be assigned as decimal digits, preferably, but not necessarily, starting from 001. DRNs shall then sequentially be incremented by one for each successive document. DRNs shall be assigned to all documents in a session, irrespective of the document type identifier or whether S-ACTIVITY-START or S-ACTIVITY-RESUME is used as the initiating primitive. The number does not necessarily have to comprise 3 digits and leading zeros do not necessarily have to be transmitted. In all cases the leading zeros must be ignored. + +NOTE – In order to uniquely identify the documents exchanged, it is recommended that the same DRNs should not appear within a session. However, it is noted that some existing terminals may cause duplication of DRNs when documents are exchanged in both directions. + +# **4 Usage of the session service** + +See Recommendation X.215. + +## **4.1 General** + +The rules given hereinafter indicate how the session service must be used by the higher layer entity. + +It is assumed that where a parameter is non-mandatory in the protocol, it is also non-mandatory in the corresponding primitive. When a default value applies in the protocol, the same default value applies at the service interface. + +The services which are used are indicated in Table 1 with the corresponding functional units. + +The data, synchronization minor and major/activity tokens must be available. The release token is not available. + +The term “additional parameter” as used in this Recommendation applies to parameters which are not included in the session service described by Recommendation X.215 but which are nevertheless essential to describe interaction between the session service user and the session layer itself, when it is to be used in a form compatible with control procedures for Teletex and Group 4 facsimile (consequently they have to be taken into account when implementing the session layer for such use). These parameters contain information carried by the session protocol elements independently of the “user data” parameter contained in the session protocol elements which are described in clause 3 of this Recommendation. + +TABLE 1/T.62 *bis* + +| Functional units | Service primitives | +|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +| Kernel | S-CONNECT

This mandatory parameter (request and indication primitives) identifies the calling terminal. This is a sequence of graphic characters as defined in Recommendation F.200. +- b) The called SS-user reference shall only contain the called terminal identifier. This mandatory parameter (response and confirm primitives) provides the terminal identification of the sender of the S-CONNECT response primitive. This is a sequence of graphic characters as defined in Recommendation F.200. +- c) The common reference shall only contain the date and time. This parameter is both mandatory and identical on all primitives. It gives the date and time and it is a sequence of graphic characters as defined in Recommendation F.200. It is used in conjunction with the terminal identifications of both terminals in a session as a reference to that session. +- d) The additional reference information shall only contain the additional session reference number. If it is used by the initiator and by the responder, it shall have the same value in the response as in the request. If it is not used by the initiator it shall not be included in the request. If it is not used by the responder it shall not be included in the response. This number shall be used in addition to the basic session reference (calling and called terminal identifiers, date and time) when this basic session reference is not sufficient to uniquely identify the session and such unique identification is required. In this case it shall also be used together with the basic session reference, when referring to this session in an S-ACTIVITY-RESUME primitive. The reference number is a fixed length of two decimal digits as coded in Recommendation T.61. + +#### 4.2.1.2 Calling and called SSAP addresses + +The session layer addressing is not used in Teletex and Group 4 facsimile services (these parameters are not used). + +#### 4.2.1.3 Quality of service + +This parameter must be set so as not to use expedited data (transport expedited is not available in Teletex) and in such a way that extended concatenation is not selected. + +#### 4.2.1.4 Session requirements + +This parameter may be omitted and in this case the default value applies. The following functional units shall be selected: + +- minor synchronization; +- activity management; +- capability data exchange; +- half-duplex; +- exceptions. + +#### 4.2.1.5 Initial synchronization point serial number + +This parameter is not used in Teletex and Group 4 facsimile services. + +#### 4.2.1.6 Initial assignment of tokens + +This parameter may be omitted and in that case, the default value applies. All available tokens are assigned to the calling entity. + +#### 4.2.1.7 Result (only in response and confirmation) + +This parameter is used to accept or refuse the session connection. In case of refusal, this parameter may also convey up to 69 characters. Only characters convertible one-to-one to the telex alphabet (ITA2) shall be allowed and Teletex code shall be used. + +#### 4.2.1.8 User data + +This non-mandatory parameter is used to convey data of the presentation and/or application protocol(s). All information necessary to negotiate the document interchange protocol parameters defined in the T.400-Series Recommendations is contained in this parameter field. + +### 4.2.2 Additional parameters + +The following parameters may also be included: + +#### 4.2.2.1 Non-basic session capabilities + +If used, this non-mandatory parameter indicates which non-basic session capabilities are available as receiving capabilities of the sender of this primitive (see Table 2). + +TABLE 2/T.62 *bis* + +| Parameter | | Function | Encoding

NOTES

1 The whole octet has to be considered when decoded, as the meaning is coded as a value, not as a single bit position within the octet. All other values are reserved, i.e. it is not allowed to ‘combine’ the indication of several formats into the same octet by setting more than one bit to ‘one’.

2 The following rule is used for the coding of bits 7 and 8:

and Group 4 facsimile equipment. + +**5.2.1** The S-TOKEN-PLEASE service must be implemented so that, in Teletex and Group 4 facsimile services mode of operations: + +- The PT SPDU is in principle concatenated with a category 2 SPDU. The way this service is implemented for modes of operations different from Teletex and Group 4 facsimile services is a local matter. +- When the session is intentionally left inactive for a period of time, the PT SPDU can be sent without being concatenated. For the Teletex and Group 4 facsimile service this requires a preceding negotiation of the inactivity timer to a different value from the default value. + +NOTE – The SPDU GIVE TOKENS (GT) may never be transmitted alone nor may include a “token item” parameter because the use of the S-GIVE-TOKEN service is not permitted in basic Teletex and Group 4 facsimile. + +**5.2.2** When sending one of the following SPDUs the whole parameter must be absent (i.e. PI, LI, PV fields) when the PV field has to be absent (i.e. when LI = 0): token item parameter in PT and GT SPDUs, user data in FN, DN, AB, ED, AE, AEA, AS and AR SPDUs, enclosure item in DT SPDU and sync type item in MIP SPDU. + +**5.2.3** The sum of the numbers of digits contained in the checkpoint reference number (synchronization point serial number) and the document reference number (activity identifier) shall not exceed six, to permit printing in the available space in the call identification line as defined in Recommendation F.200. There is no constraint on the maximum number of digits in either number, as long as this limitation is not exceeded. + +**5.2.4** The reception of a length indicator with a value lower than 255 in a 3 octets field must not lead to a protocol error. + +**5.2.5** When receiving an AB SPDU the AA SPDU must be sent back even if the transport connection is not to be kept (Recommendation X.225 allows the user to choose between disconnecting the transport or sending the SPDU AA when AB is received). + +The telematic services do not use the “reflect parameter values” parameter in the AB SPDU. + +**5.2.6** When receiving the CN, AC, CD or CDA SPDUs the non-standardized parameter codes or the parameters which are not part of these SPDU encoding, must be ignored. + +**5.2.7** The TIM timer value must be 4 seconds. + +**5.2.8** The PGI “connect/accept” (code 5) and the PI “session requirements” (code 20) must not be transmitted in the CN or AC SPDU, if their values are the same as their default values (for Teletex and G4 facsimile, the default values apply). The parameters version number (code 22) and transport disconnect (code 17) must not be transmitted in the RF SPDU. The RF SPDU may also contain an additional user data parameter. + +**5.2.9** The absence of non-mandatory PI or PGI indicates that no such functions are available. Therefore PIs or PGIs with LI set to zero should be avoided. + +**5.2.10** When a PV conains graphic characters that may be printed or displayed, they shall be in the intended printing/display sequence and shall be coded as defined in Recommendation T.61. + +**5.2.11** Segmentation is not used. + +### **5.2.12 Definition of valid/invalid session protocol data units** + +In addition to the rules expressed in Recommendation X.225, the following applies. + +#### **5.2.12.1 Invalid PDUs (definitions and rules)** + +If the PDUs do not meet the following conditions, such PDUs are invalid: + +- a) the sum of LIs of PGIs and freestanding PIs is equal to the overall LI; +- b) the sum of the LIs of PIs embedded within recognized PGIs is equal to the PGIs LI; +- c) for all mandatory parameters, the PGIs or PIs are present and the LIs are not equal to zero. + +##### NOTES + +1 In the case of AB, AA and RF PDUs, the same checking rules may be applied. However, it is recognized that no externally visible procedure is provided to react to the detection of such invalid PDUs. + +2 Invalid ED or ER can either be rejected or processed normally to start error recovery. + +3 When receiving an invalid CN it is recommended that the connection be refused by sending a RF with the appropriate parameters and not to release the transport connection. + +4 An equipment is not required to make any checking at all on parameters it does not support.

This is also called the half-duplex mode. + +**A.2.3 two-way simultaneous (TWS):** User information is transferred in both directions simultaneously, i.e. both terminals are simultaneously a source as well as a sink. This is also called the duplex mode. + +## **A.3 Terms specific to document** + +**A.3.1 document:** A document is a sequence of one or more pages intended by the originator to be delivered to the address(es) as a single entity in the original page sequence. + +**A.3.2 page:** The basic element of office correspondence in the telematic service. One A4 (or A4L, North American standard or North American legal) page or the information that may be presented on it. + +**A.3.3 checkpoint:** A checkpoint is a numbered mark inserted by the sender in the text stream to provide a reference point for error recovery. + +**A.3.4 acknowledgement window:** The maximum number of checkpoints that a sender can transmit without receiving an acknowledgement from the receiver. + +# **Annex B** + +## **State diagrams** + +(This annex forms an integral part of this Recommendation) + +**B.1** Each state diagram is in only one state at any time. + +**B.2** Each state is represented as an ellipse, which contains a number for reference and a descriptive name. + +**B.3** Permissible transitions from one state to another are shown as connecting lines with an arrow indicating the permitted direction of the state transition and labelled with the event or events that cause that transition. + +**B.4** Where a transition may originate from any of several states, it may be indicated by a broad arrow terminating on the destination state and labelled with the permissible states of originating and with the event or events that cause that entry into the destination state. + +**B.5** An event is either the sending (S-) or reception (R-) of a request or a response or an indicated local operation. + +**B.6** Each state diagram has a state named “idle” and numbered zero. This is the initial or reset state when that state diagram is inactive. + +**B.7** Upon sending any request that causes entry into a state named “demand response”, the sending of any additional requests is not permitted until a response is received. A demand response timer is started, and if a response is not received prior to expiration of that time-out, session terminating is mandatory. + +**B.8** The effect of each event that causes a state transition must be completed prior to consideration of a subsequent event. + +**B.9** During a session, each session partner has a responsibility for monitoring for proper operation as follows: + +- a) maintenance of the currently agreed source/sink relationship; +- b) proper use of request/response procedural sequences as described in the state diagrams and the rules of their operation; +- c) monitoring of a period of inactivity (e.g. indicating a failure or other inability to continue productive use of the session). + +Upon detection of a failure to maintain proper operation as described above, use of the error recovery procedures defined for each state diagram is mandatory, or where such error recovery procedures are not specifically defined, session termination (abnormal end) is mandatory. This is necessary in order to avoid unproductive use of telematic facilities, incurring unnecessary charges where the service is not being used effectively, and causing degradation of the service. + +**B.10** The purpose of the state diagrams is to assist in defining proper use of the elements of procedure, and not to define any particular implementation. + +![Detailed state transition diagram for the sending side of a protocol.

It is important that alternative textual descriptions or representations present a comprehensive account of the purpose and content of images to people unable to see or interpret them. + +Text alternatives help people who cannot see the images to understand what the image is of or the purpose it serves by providing the same information in textual form. Text alternatives can be useful to those with visual impairments, those who turned images off in order to improve webpage loading speeds, and those who cannot understand the image being displayed. They can also aid search engines in finding images. This Recommendation provides guidance for user interface, web and document developers to help them create informative descriptions for various types of illustrations. + +While some sources of guidance advocate that text alternatives be kept short, it is important that they provide an equitable alternative to the image. ITU-T H-series Supplement 17 | ISO/IEC Guide 71 states "A system provides equitable use if it allows diverse users to accomplish tasks in an identical manner whenever possible or in an equivalent manner when an identical manner is not possible". This Recommendation provides guidance intended to help developers create equitable text alternatives. + +The guidance contained in this Recommendation is intended to be used by the person who creates content and/or text alternatives to be placed in an electronic document. There is no expectation that this person will have any additional expertise beyond understanding the contents of the document and why an image was chosen to be placed within the document. + +While the main intent of the guidance within this Recommendation is the creation of text alternatives, the information identified in this guidance could be placed in the main document text, reducing the length of the resulting text alternatives. However, placing information in the main document text does not fully replace the function of having some text alternatives for each image. + + + +## Recommendation ITU-T T.701.11 + +# Guidance on text alternatives for images + +# 1 Scope + +This Recommendation gives guidance on how to create text alternatives and what information to put in text alternatives. + +This Recommendation applies to all static images that are used in any type of electronic document. It also applies to individual images within a slide show. + +This Recommendation does not apply to moving images (e.g., movies). + +NOTE 1 – While text alternatives can be implemented via various mechanisms in various types of electronic documents, the contents of this Recommendation are not dependent on the choice of implementation mechanism or of electronic document type. + +NOTE 2 – Guidance on making moving images accessible is contained in [b-ISO/IEC TS 20071-21], [b-ISO/IEC 20071-23] and [b-ISO/IEC 20071-25]. + +This Recommendation is a twin text with ISO/IEC 20071-11:2019 "Information technology – User interface component accessibility – Part 11: Guidance on text alternatives for images", prepared by ISO/IEC JTC1 SC35 "User interfaces". + +# 2 Normative references + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

significant change in the world. + +**3.2.11 image:** As it relates to digital content, graphical content intended to be presented visually. + +NOTE – This includes graphics that are encoded in any electronic format, including, but not limited to, formats that are comprised of individual pixels (e.g., those produced by paint programs or by photographic means) and formats that comprised of formulas (e.g., those produced as scalable vector drawings). + +**3.2.12 logical (relationship):** Relationship information about what entities are interacting and how they interact. + +**3.2.13 main body of text:** Textual content of a document that is always presented to the users. + +**3.3.14 map:** Image containing a geospatial representation of geographic data. + +**3.2.15 moving image:** Image where the contents are dynamically changing. + +NOTE – This includes realistic moving images (often referred to as movies), abstract moving images (often referred to as cartoons), and even non-representational moving images (often referred to as light shows). + +**3.2.16 non-representational:** Type of content intended for decorative purposes without the intent to represent any particular natural world data, information, objects, relationships and/or concepts. + +EXAMPLE – Art presenting colours and textures (without any recognizable objective contents). + +NOTE – Diagrams, maps and computer-generated illustrations are often presented as composite images. + +**3.2.17 photograph:** Electronic copy of an image of something that has its own independent existence in the real world. + +**3.2.18 physical (information):** Information about phenomena which have a concrete existence. + +EXAMPLE – Objects, agents or scenes that have a physical existence. + +NOTE – This can include states and histories of objects. + +**3.2.19 physical (relationship):** Spatial relationship information about where one entity is in relation to another entity. + +**3.2.20 primary alternative text:** Main text alternative provided to users of screen readers. + +NOTE – Different technologies and platforms provide various mechanisms for containing and presenting primary alternative text. + +EXAMPLE 1 – In HTML 5.2 and EPUB, primary alternative text is provided in the "alt" attribute of the img tag. + +EXAMPLE 2 – In PDF, primary alternative text is provided through the /Alt entry in a structure element's dictionary. + +**3.2.21 quantitative (information):** Statistical information or numerical data and the relationships between the numbers. + +NOTE 1 – Quantitative information is often presented in a graphical manner. + +NOTE 2 – Quantitative images are often used for comparison between related sets of data, such as comparing net profit over a period of time. + +NOTE 3 – Examples of quantitative images include charts and graphs. + +**3.2.22 realistic:** Type of content that is perceived by the user to faithfully represent data, information, objects, relationships and/or concepts in the natural world. + +EXAMPLE – Photographic images, pictures intended to be true-to-life, diagrams used to illustrate how to assemble a set of parts. + +**3.2.23 relationship type:** Information about an association between entities. + +**3.2.24 secondary alternative text:** Additional text alternative provided to users of screen readers beyond primary alternative text. + +NOTE – Different technologies and platforms provide various mechanisms for containing and presenting secondary alternative text. + +EXAMPLE 1 – In HTML 5.2, secondary alternative text is provided in the "longdesc" attribute of the img tag. + +EXAMPLE 2 – In EPUB, secondary alternative text is provided through the "role" attribute. + +**3.2.25 sketch:** Rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not usually intended as a finished fully-realistic work. + +NOTE – Sketches are often monochrome line drawings, with or without shading. + +**3.2.26 slide show:** Set of images that replace one another periodically. + +NOTE 1 – The replacement of one static image by another static image can be controlled automatically by the system (in which case the timing for each image is usually predetermined) or manually by the user (where the timing for each image is determined on a case by case basis). + +NOTE 2 – Slide shows are usually composed of static images but can include short movies. The interval between static images in a slide show are considered longer than in a movie, such that the motion being portrayed by the slide show would appear staggered instead of smooth like in a movie. + +**3.2.27 state (information):** Properties of the environment, objects or agents that remain constant during a period of time. + +**3.2.28 static image:** Image where the set of image components and their relationships to one another do not change over time. + +NOTE 1 – This includes images where the content/representation of individual image components can change over time, e.g., indicators where the value they are indicating changes in real time. + +NOTE 2 – The concept of static image is used for all images that are not slide shows or moving images. + +NOTE 3 – This use of static image is similar to the use of "still image" in [b-ISO/IEC 13249-5]. However, it differs in that a static image can have moving components. [b-ISO/IEC 13249-5] states "A still image user-defined type is generic to image handling. It addresses the need to store, manage, and retrieve information based on aspects of inherent image characteristics such as height, width, and format and based on image features such as average colour, colour histogram, positional colour, and texture. It also addresses the need to employ manipulation such as rotation, scaling as well as similarity assessment". + +**3.2.29 temporal (relationship):** Relationship information about when some action or entity occurs. + +**3.2.30 text alternative:** Alternative text: textual description or representation of an image. + +NOTE 1 – By storing this description or representation in text format, it is able to be rendered in any available modality. + +NOTE 2 – The main audience of text alternatives are the users of screen reading features. + +NOTE 3 – Text alternatives are often provided to screen reader users in the form of primary and secondary alternative texts of an image. + +NOTE 4 – Generally, "text alternative" is used to refer to any text alternative, while "alternative text" is used to refer to text alternatives for images that are contained in attributes of an image. + +**3.2.31 value:** Quantitative information describing properties of an object. + +# **4 Abbreviations and acronyms** + +This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: + +| | | +|------|---------------------------------------| +| ARIA | Accessible Rich Internet Applications | +| EPUB | Electronic Publication | +| HTML | Hypertext Markup Language | +| IC | Image Component | +| SGML | Standard Generalized Markup Language | +| WI | Whole Image | + +# **5 Conventions** + +There are no particular conventions that apply to this Recommendation. + +# **6 Text alternatives for images** + +## **6.1 Uses of text alternatives** + +Images are often used to convey a large amount of information, whether it is a diagram for constructing a desk or a photo of what happened at a birthday party. In one glance, a person can retrieve a large amount of information and have a general understanding about the remaining content in the document in which the image resides. + +NOTE 1 – While text alternatives are primarily developed for electronic documents (including computer applications, apps, and websites); they can also be helpful in printed documents that can be read out to a user. + +Images are sometimes used to supplement or complement the document content or can be another representation of the same content. However, sometimes the image stands alone or adds information that is not part of the other document content. Any information that is present in the image but not the other document content does not get conveyed to those who are unable to see the image. Text alternatives are needed to convey that information. + +There are many reasons why a person can need text alternatives, including (but not limited to): + +- a) the person has a visual impairment; +- b) the person is using a program that aurally reads the document content while doing something else (e.g., the person is listening while driving or cooking); +- c) the device being used to view the image is unable to properly display the image or the image is difficult to see (such as on a small mobile device); +- d) the person turned off images on their web browser to increase loading speed; +- e) the person cannot understand and/or interpret the image; and +- f) the text alternative can be used by search engines to find an image. + +Tools (such as screen readers) exist that can read aloud text that appears in a document to those who cannot or are not looking at the screen. If an image can be described and represented textually, then the tools can also read the text alternatives aloud. + +NOTE 2 – The term "text alternative" is used to represent the text equivalent of an image, regardless of where that text resides. The term "alternative text" is generally used to represent a text alternative that is technically provided as an attribute of an image. + +Text alternatives can include a description of what the image looks like and/or an interpretation of what the image represents or its function. Different text alternatives can be developed for the same image, differing in length and (as a result) information. Technology often allows for a primary alternative text as well as a secondary alternative text to be attached as attributes of an image. Providing both primary alternative text and secondary alternative text can give the user a choice in the amount of detail they wish to receive about an image. + +Images can mean different things to different viewers. However, images are added to a document for particular purposes with the intent of meaning certain things to all viewers. In order to write informative text alternatives for an image, it is important to first know the information intended to be represented in the image. It is difficult to share knowledge about an image with others if the alternative text developer does not have knowledge of what the image is intended to convey to the reader. Therefore, it is important to gather or identify as much information as possible about an image. + +It is preferable for the developer of the electronic document to also be the developer of text alternatives for images included in the document. + +NOTE 3 – While various experts can analyse an image to a greater extent (e.g., for cataloguing purposes in a library of images), it is important that people involved in this procedure understand the information content that the image is intended to convey within the document in which it occurs. + +This Recommendation presents a method for identifying information about an image and then structuring text alternatives for the image. + +## **6.2 Presenting text alternatives** + +### **6.2.1 General** + +There are three possible locations for presenting text alternatives for an image: + +- a) within the main body of text; +- b) within the primary alternative text attribute of an image; +- c) within the secondary alternative text attribute of an image or within secondary alternative text that is linked in some manner to the image. + +NOTE – Clause 12.4 provides guidance on the use of these three locations for presenting text alternatives. + +### **6.2.2 Text alternatives within the main body of text** + +The information contained in well-written text alternatives can often help users who can see an image to understand or interpret the image as it was intended by the document developer. In situations where the information contained in a text alternative is considered beneficial to all (or most) users of a document, this information can be presented in the main body of text, either as part of the main text or in a special addition to the main text that is identified as acting as a text alternative to the image, rather than as alternative text attribute of the image that requires special efforts to access. + +Where text alternatives are included within the main body of text, they are not limited in length and can take one or more paragraphs to provide detailed descriptions of the image and detailed discussions of its intended purpose. + +### **6.2.3 Primary alternative text** + +Primary alternative text is the usual location for text alternatives for images in most documents. The primary alternative text is usually displayed (in a hidden manner) to tools such as screen readers. Some tools present the primary alternative text automatically by default, while the user needs to request the secondary alternative text. + +Where alternative text is considered beneficial for all readers it can be placed (with a suitable notation identifying it as alternative text) in the main body of text, as long as the primary alternative text is used to refer to the location of it in the main body of text (see clause 12.4.6). + +Some types of electronic documents have a limitation or restriction on the length of the primary alternative text. + +NOTE – Some screen readers will sub-divide alternative text entries that are larger than 125 characters. + +In order to limit the size of the primary alternative text, it is often viewed as an overview of the image content, what the image is about, or the function of the image. + +Short primary alternative texts (due to character length limitations) may not be sufficient to convey the full amount of information provided by the image. Where primary alternative texts are limited in length, secondary alternative text becomes an important means of communicating the complete meaning/content of an image. + +### **6.2.4 Secondary alternative text** + +Where it is available, secondary alternative text generally does not have limits on its length and therefore can contain a larger amount of information about the image. It can consist of details about the image that could not be part of the primary alternative text. + +Since there is no limit on the amount of information, it can include information that some users might not need. The importance of each piece of information about an image can help to determine if the information is presented in the primary alternative text, secondary alternative text, both primary and secondary alternative texts, or not at all (see clause 12 for a discussion of levels of importance). + +# **7 Procedure for creating text alternatives** + +The creation of suitable text alternatives (regardless of where they are located) shall be based on a thorough understanding of the image, its components, its purpose and context in the document where it is contained. + +This can be done by applying the following procedure: + +- a) Identify the type of image (clause 8) +Identify the type (and if applicable the sub-type) of image. + +- b) Identify the purpose of the image (clause 9) + +Identify and describe the purpose of each image. This step influences which image components and which pieces of information are important for the user to know. + +This involves answering the question "Why?" +- c) Identify the image components (clause 10) + +Depending on the purpose of the image, identify the image components. This step is necessary to properly identify pieces of information about the image that can be important to the user. + +This can be done in a two-stage process: + + - 1) Identify the image as a whole; + - 2) Identify the image components of the image. + +NOTE 1 – Identifying image components is an iterative process. Individual image components can be further separated into a number of (lower level) image components until all components that are important to describe have been identified. +- d) Identify the information (content) presented by the image (clause 11) + +Depending on the purpose of the image, identify the content about an image and its components. + +This involves answering the question "What?" + +NOTE 2 – "Who" is a specific instance of "What" that involves recognizable people. + +NOTE 3 – While identified content is complex, it can become useful to separate that image (or image component) into several (lower level) image components, in order to better be able to identify simpler content components. +- e) Evaluate the importance of the information about the image (clause 12) + +Considering the purpose of the image, evaluate the importance of the identified information about the image to focus on the most important information to present in the text alternative(s). + +NOTE 4 – Importance is based on the need of users to know information about the image and is related to the purpose of the image (or image component) and context in which the image is presented. Different information becomes important depending on the purpose of the image and the environment or context of the image. + +NOTE 5 – This can help to eliminate less important information and to identify if the information already obtained is sufficiently important to satisfy the purpose. +- f) Compose the text alternatives (clause 13) + +Organize the important information to improve its readability and allocate to the primary or secondary alternative texts of an image and/or to the main text. + +NOTE 6 – Organization involves both structuring and writing text alternatives. +- g) Evaluate the text alternative (clause 14) + +Evaluate potential text alternatives (by someone other than the person who created it) to check that it suitably describes the image within the context of the document within which it is contained. + +NOTE 7 – While it is ideal for this to involve actual user testing, it is important that this step not be omitted due to lack of available users or other resources. + +NOTE 8 – Evaluation by a colleague or friend is better than no external evaluation at all. + +# 8 Identifying the types of image + +## 8.1 General + +Identifying the type of an image provides a quick impression regarding the purpose and possible contents of the image. People looking at an image use this information to give them a "first impression" of what to look for when looking at the image. + +NOTE – While there are many additional types and sub-types that could be identified, beyond those in this clause, it is important not to make the identification of types too complex for the users to understand. More detailed types and sub-types are primarily important to those users who will recognize the distinction that the type or sub-type conveys. + +## 8.2 Drawings + +A drawing is an image created as an original work through the artistic actions of a human. Because it is an artistic creation, even the most realistic of drawings will be influenced by the style and intent of the human creating them. + +NOTE – Drawings can be realistic, abstract/non-representational and can contain realistic, abstract/non-representational components. + +Drawings can be divided into various sub-types, including: + +- a) Realistic drawings, where the content of the image is perceived by the user to faithfully represent data, information, objects, relationships, and/or concepts in the natural world; +- b) Sketches, where the content was a rapidly executed freehand drawing and is not usually intended as a finished, fully-realistic work; +- c) Caricatures, where the content shows the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way; +- d) Abstract drawings, where content of the image is intended to present important major data, information, object, relationship, and/or conceptual components, without representing them as they occur in the natural world; +- e) Non-representational drawings, where the content of the image is intended for decorative purposes without the intent to represent any particular natural world data, information, objects, relationships, and/or concepts. + +## 8.3 Photographs + +A photograph is an electronic copy of an image of something that has its own independent existence in the real world. As such, photographs are expected to be realistic representations of the real world. + +NOTE – This is not to say that the real world could not be manipulated for purposes of "staging" a photograph to show a particular scene. + +While the photograph is a true rendering of the object(s) that it illustrates, those objects can themselves be realistic, abstract, or even non-representational. + +While most photographs do not need to be further distinguished by sub-typing, it is important to recognize that a photograph, which has been modified from the real-world scene that it was an image of, is a modified photograph (rather than just considering it as a photograph). + +## 8.4 Diagrams + +A diagram is an image containing a graphical representation of a set of (physical, logical, conceptual or other) objects or components and their (physical, logical, sequential or other) relationships. + +There are a wide variety of sub-types of diagrams, and often many variations on many of these sub-types. Some sub-types of diagrams include: activity diagrams, assembly diagrams, block diagrams, class diagrams, component diagrams, concept diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, flow + +diagrams, graphs, interaction diagrams, logic diagrams, object diagrams, state transition diagrams, structure diagrams and use case diagrams. + +When choosing the name of a sub-type to use in alternative text, it is important that the chosen name be meaningful to the intended users. + +It is generally more important to describe the intended information content (semantics) of a diagram than the physical characteristics (syntax) of the diagram. + +## **8.5 Maps** + +A map is an image containing a geospatial representation of geographic data. + +NOTE 1 – While a map could be considered as a sub-type of a diagram, the concept and use of a map is so well established that it is useful to consider maps as a separate type of image. + +Maps can be presented in two or three dimensions and can contain information on two or three dimensions. + +While there are many characteristics that could be used to distinguish between (to sub-type) maps, the most important characteristic to use in identifying a map is to identify the physical area that is the subject of the map. + +NOTE 2 – Other characteristics often belong as part of the purpose of the map. + +In addition to representing physical areas, some interactive "maps" are used to present users with a choice of different options, contained in various adjacent physical areas. + +## **8.6 Computer-generated illustrations** + +A computer-generated illustration is an image created by a computer based on data that it has available to it. Because it is created based on data, the permanence of the image is not guaranteed. Changes to the data could result in a different image being created at a future point in time. + +NOTE – Drawings created by humans utilizing computerized tools (including computer renditions of drawings) are not considered computer-generated illustrations. + +Computers can generate a wide range of images, including diagrams, maps, and images that appear similar to drawings or photographs. + +## **8.7 Composite images** + +A composite image is an image created by combining individual images or components of individual images. + +Composite images can be created by humans or by computers, based on a variety of individual images that could each be created by a human or by a computer. + +The main distinction in composite images is whether or not the individual component images can be separately addressed, and thus have their own separate text alternatives. + +- a) If the components cannot be separately addressed, then the image behaves as a single image, with a type of composite image and (if needed) multiple sub-types identifying the type (and, if applicable, sub-type) of each of the components. +- b) If the components can be separately addressed, then the important issue is whether or not the complete composite image also has its own text alternative. If it does not, then information about the membership of the individual component images in the composite image can be important in the text alternatives of each of the components. + +## **8.8 Identifying image type in text alternatives** + +### **8.8.1 Identifying the image type of single images** + +The type (and, if applicable, sub-type(s)) of the image should be identified by a word or a short phrase at the start of the text alternative. + +**NOTE 1** – This is typically done in combination with the statement of the purpose of the image (see clause 9.6). + +**NOTE 2** – The type of image is not typically important for images that are used to label other information (see clause II.1.4). + +### **8.8.2 Identifying image type of composite images with separately addressable components** + +- a) If a composite image has separate text alternatives for the entire image and for component images, then the type (and, if applicable, sub-type) of the composite image and each of the separately addressable component images should be identified by a word or a short phrase at the start of the appropriate text alternatives. +- b) If a composite image only has text alternatives for each of its component images and it is not possible to add a text alternative for the composite image as a whole: + - 1) An initial invisible component image should be added to the set of component images, as the first image in the set, so that it can be a source for an alternative text for the entire composite image; + - 2) The type (and, if applicable, sub-type(s)) of each component image (including the component image representing the entire composite image) should be identified by a word or a short phrase at the start of the appropriate text alternatives. + +# **9 Identifying the purpose of the image** + +## **9.1 Introduction to purposes** + +A purpose identifies "why" an image is being presented as part of a document. It often identifies the function that the image serves within the document. + +**NOTE 1** – Text alternatives are context dependent and thus are different from information used for cataloguing of images within an image library. + +Along with information on the type of image, information on the purpose of the image is important in letting a person know whether or not to read the entire text alternative. + +The image was chosen to be in the document for one or more reasons (purposes). It is important that the intent of the document developer had for choosing the image is achieved by the text alternative. + +**NOTE 2** – The context in which the image is used can help to understand the purpose of an image, especially when this is explained in the main text reference to the image. + +The purpose and context of the image will also affect the understanding of the document. An image can have an effect on the understanding of the document content in two manners: + +- 1) Objective information can influence intellectual or knowledge-based understanding. Objective information is factual and/or logical. +**EXAMPLE 1** – In a bar chart, the statistical data and axis information are objective information. +- 2) Subjective information can influence affective or emotional-based understanding. Subjective information consists of emotions, concepts, opinions, and judgments that are not necessarily universally shared. +**EXAMPLE 2** – Different cultural interpretations of symbolisms in a painting are subjective information. + +Purposes can be classified in terms of: + +- informative purposes; +- control purposes; +- decorative purposes; +- formatting purposes. + +NOTE 3 – While it is important to identify the purpose or purposes of an image, it is usually not productive to try and identify the purposes of individual components of an image. Information on the components of an image belongs in the main content of the text alternative (see clause 11). + +## **9.2 Informative purposes** + +Most images are intended to provide information to the user that supplements, and/or provides an example of content that is also presented textually, usually within the same document. + +NOTE – While an image can seem to duplicate information presented in the main text, it is important to consider what additional information it can be providing, including alternative approaches to understanding the information. + +Images used primarily for informative purposes generally contain some information that is important for the user to receive, beyond the purpose for which the image was presented. + +## **9.3 Control purposes** + +Images are often used as the basis for developing controls. + +NOTE – Images can be used with/as controls such as buttons, sliders, knobs, icons and links. + +EXAMPLE 1 – An image is used as the target for a hyperlink. + +EXAMPLE 2 – Various areas on a map are used as the boundaries for links that take the user to detailed information relating to that area. + +The ability to associate text alternatives with these images depends on how they are implemented. In cases where the images are separately addressable from the controls, it is both possible and useful to provide suitable text alternatives. + +## **9.4 Decorative purposes** + +### **9.4.1 Decorative images that convey affective information** + +Decorative images are often ignored by creators of text alternatives. However, this can result in failure to provide screen reader users with important information. + +The use of images for decorative purposes can be intended to add visual appeal to a document. This visual appeal can be important in attracting and retaining the attention of users to a document. + +"Decorative" images are often used to present emotional and subjective information and thus are also presented for informative purposes (see clause 9.2). If text alternatives are not used for such images, screen reader users are deprived of getting the same information that is provided visually. + +EXAMPLE – Where a decorative image is intended to convey humour, not providing a suitable text alternative will fail to convey the intended result. While the intended meaning can be subtle, it is not meaningless. + +### **9.4.2 Decorative images with minimal information value** + +The information present in some decorative images is of minimal importance. + +Providing text alternatives for such images can create unnecessary work for users of text alternatives. + +If a decorative image does not present information with some level of importance (see clause 12.2.5), then the text alternative for that image should be empty. + +NOTE 1 – Empty alternative text can be used as a means to deliberately provide no textual image description where text alternatives are not needed or appropriate, + +Some situations of where text alternatives may not be needed or appropriate include: + +- a) an image that is used only to fill space that otherwise would be empty; + +NOTE 2 – Background images composed of colours/textures are often used for the sole role of making webpages appear attractive, without adding any particular meaning to the webpage. + +- b) an image that is excessively used where redundant complete text alternatives for each usage would provide a hindrance to the user. + +NOTE 3 – A corporate logo is used instead of standard bullets to precede items in a list. The items in the list can also be recognized as items in the list from their formatting, and thus knowledge of the existence of the bullets (or images used to replace standard bullets) does not provide any additional information on formatting. Furthermore, repeatedly providing the same text alternatives for each of these bullets could become annoying to screen reader users. + +NOTE 4 – This is different from the single use of a logo on each page of a document or system where it is important to at least acknowledge that the image is the corporate logo. + +NOTE 5 – It is best to analyse all images according to the procedure in clause 12 and to allow the importance level of descriptive information to determine whether or not text alternatives are needed. + +## **9.5 Formatting purposes** + +Formatting organizes, separates, and/or highlights some information to distinguish it from other information. + +Mark-up languages, such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), provide explicit means for formatting text entries. If they are properly used, the addition of images, such as horizontal line separators, only provides additional redundant formatting. + +NOTE 1 – Empty alternative text can be used as a means to deliberately provide no textual image description for images that are only used for formatting purposes. + +NOTE 2 – While developers often fail to provide text alternatives for images used for formatting, the use of such images instead of or in addition to standard formatting methods often is also done for decorating the document (see clause 8.2.4). + +NOTE 3 – Even if an image used for formatting has multiple image components, these components are not significant or useful in describing the purpose of the image for formatting. + +NOTE 4 – The existence of components used for formatting within an image can appear to have some importance. However, this can be described focusing on the relationship between the components, without needing to describe the means of formatting used, unless they also fulfil some other purpose in the image. + +## **9.6 Identifying purpose in text alternatives** + +### **9.6.1 Describing the purpose** + +While the purpose of the image can be considered in terms of four general classifications (informative, control, decorative, formatting), the text alternative should (implicitly or explicitly) identify the specific purpose of the image instead of just naming a general classification of purpose. + +EXAMPLE – Rather than just stating that the image is "informative", the first sentence of the primary alternative text for an image is "Figure 3 is a flowchart that illustrates the process for (name of the process)." + +### **9.6.2 Stating the purpose briefly** + +It is important that statements of purpose help the reader to quickly decide whether or not to read the rest of the text alternative. + +Where statements of purpose are included in a text alternative, they should be briefly stated in the first sentence of the text alternative. + +NOTE 1 – Further details about the purpose (within a text alternative) are provided by identifying the content and identifying qualifications and relationships to the content. + +NOTE 2 – Where the purpose of an image of a person is to put a human face to the discussion, the purpose in the text alternative can be simplified to stating that image is a photo or drawing of (name of the person). + +EXAMPLE – The text alternative for an image without a caption starts with the sentence, "This (image) is a photo of Albert Einstein." + +### **9.6.3 Avoiding redundancy with captions** + +Some images are accompanied with a caption that provides a brief statement of its purpose. In such cases, repeating the statement of purpose (and especially repeating the caption) in text alternatives is not helpful. + +- a) If a caption is associated with an image, and it provides a suitable statement of the purpose of the image, text alternative should not restate the purpose. + +NOTE 1 – Within HTML 5.2 it is possible to use the caption as part of the text alternative. + +- b) If a caption is not associated with an image, either a caption should be added to the document containing the image or the text alternative for the image should identify the purpose at the start of the text alternative. + +NOTE 2 – This statement of purpose could be worded in a manner that would make a suitable caption for the image. + +### **9.6.4 Considering the context of use** + +Where appropriate, a brief reference to the context of use of the image may be included as part of the identification of the purpose of an image. + +### **9.6.5 Considering both objective and subjective purposes** + +It is important that statements of purpose recognize both objective and subjective purposes. + +If the purpose of the image includes presenting subjective/emotional/motivational information, then this aspect of the purpose should be described in text alternative. + +### **9.6.6 Text alternatives for images used for formatting purposes** + +It is not necessary to provide text alternatives to describe the use of images solely for formatting purposes, provided that the formatting information is otherwise provided to the user textually or through markup. + +- a) Simple, non-decorative graphic elements (e.g., blanks or lines) to separate or format other content should not be implemented as images so that they will not have text alternatives. + +NOTE – Blanks, lines, and other simple graphic elements can be implemented using text. + +- b) Where text alternatives are provided to describe images that are used solely for formatting purposes, the text alternative should be described as simply as possible, merely identifying the purpose of the image, without the need for identifying the type of image or describing the contents of the image. + +EXAMPLE 1 – Text alternatives for a border between two sections of a form states, "Separation between personal information and product information". + +- c) Where decorative images are used for formatting, a text alternative should be provided to describe the image, similar to text alternatives for other decorative images, + +EXAMPLE 2 – Fancy borders are used instead of spaces to visually highlight the separation of different chunks of content on a webpage. While these borders do not provide any significant content, the distinction between the different chunks of content is primarily provided by the proper use of headings. However, these fancy borders have a second purpose in that they are also used for decorating the webpage. + +### **9.6.7 Further information for images used for informative purposes** + +Where an image is presented for informative or control purposes, it is important to provide additional information in the text alternative beyond just identifying the type of image and its purpose(s). + +Where an image is presented for informative purposes, the text alternative shall also include an identification of the important components and information presented by the image. + +### **9.6.8 Further information for images used for control purposes** + +Where an image is used in conjunction with control purposes, the text alternatives shall provide information about its relationship to its associated control(s). + +# **10 Identifying the image components** + +## **10.1 Images and image components** + +The complexity and structure of an image will determine the complexity and structure of appropriate text alternatives. Many images present some levels of complexity that can affect the experience that a viewer of the image is intended to have. Ignoring this complexity can often result in text alternatives that are not a full alternative to the image. + +Many images can be broken down into image components where a number of image components can present additional important information to the user. Most image components represent real or logical objects. + +EXAMPLE – Each person, object, shape, text, landmark, or step in a process can be considered an image component. + +Where the background or border of an image is important, they can be considered as additional image components. + +Whether or not a component is identified and elaborated upon depends on how important information about the component is with respect to the purpose and context of the image. + +## **10.2 Text components** + +It is not appropriate to use an image to present only text that could be otherwise presented as a text element within the document within which it is contained. + +EXAMPLE 1 – Where stylized text is desired, it is preferable to accomplish this stylization using (fancy) fonts rather than by using an image of stylized text. + +However, there are many instances of images that contain textual components. + +EXAMPLE 2 – Where showing a page from a particular book is involved, it is often more appropriate to use an image of the page than to recreate the page using formatted text. + +## **10.3 Uniquely identifying image components** + +Where multiple components are involved, it is important that each component is uniquely identified so that it is meaningful to the reader of the text alternative. This can help to identify information unique to the component and to identify relationships with other components. + +The type of an image component is often very important in understanding its role within an image. + +In many cases, an image component can be uniquely identified by referring to it using a generic type of object as its name. + +EXAMPLE 1 – Some examples of components identified using a generic type include: a man, a baseball player, a car, a building, a table, a tower. + +NOTE 1 – Generic types of components generally involve only general everyday knowledge available to a user. They do not deal with specific branding or specific naming of an object within the image. + +In some cases, it is possible to uniquely identify an image component with a specific name that provides further meaning to the image component. + +EXAMPLE 2 – Some examples of image components identified using a specific name include: Alan Turing, Babe Ruth, the Batmobile. + +In some cases, a specific identifier is created by adding a specific name to a generic type. These qualifications are usually made because of their being readily identifiable. + +EXAMPLE 3 – Some examples of image components identified with a qualified type include: King Arthur's round table, the Eiffel tower. + +Where multiple image components are of a common type, it is important to uniquely identify each image component in a manner that distinguishes them from other instances of similar objects while recognizing their similarities. This can be accomplished using both a specific name and a generic type. + +EXAMPLE 4 – An entity relationship diagram contains image components including: a museum entity, an artistic work entity, an exhibition entity, and various named relationships. + +In addition to graphical objects appearing in an image (or image component), textual objects sometimes also appear. Where the text is readable, it can be considered to be specific content that is to be identified in the primary alternative text of an image. + +EXAMPLE 5 – A picture of a highway includes a road sign that indicates that Saskatoon is 30 km further down the highway. + +Identifying an image component typically does not interpret the meaning of these objects beyond identifying them, unless these components are intentionally being used symbolically. + +## **10.4 Structuring information about images and their components** + +To gather as much information as possible, it is important for an image first to be considered as a whole entity before then considering components of the image. Some information can be present only when the image is viewed as a whole. + +NOTE – In an image with multiple components, the components can be considered individually or as a set of components. + +Because an image can have a vast amount of information, some images can be further analysed by identifying several parts (called image components) and then identifying information about each part (or image component). Breaking down the image into several parts allows for focus on the details of those particular parts, resulting in more information about the image. An image component could be broken down further into additional image components, if needed. + +[This paragraph contains a *long version of alternative text for Figure 1 suitable for inclusion in main text*] Figure 1 provides a structure diagram of information that can be used to describe an image. In it, there is information about the whole image and also information about various image components. This structure recognizes that different images can have different numbers of image components. There are also relationships between each of the image components and the whole image, which imply that information about the whole image is more important than information about the image components. Information for whole image includes: the image's type, the image's purpose, and information on the content of the whole image. Information about each image component includes: an identifier of the component and information about the content. + +![Figure 1: Structure of image information.

Information about WI includes: a type, the purpose, and information about the content. Information about each of the ICs includes: an identifier and information about the content. + +This is a structure for use in identifying information and not for wording the resulting text alternatives. It is recognized that some of the same information can appear multiple times. The intent of this structure is to identify as much information about an image as possible. Redundancies can be resolved in the organizing and writing of the text alternatives (see clause 13). + +EXAMPLE – A piece of information identified at the whole image level could be identified again at the image component level or it could be identified as part of multiple image components. It is not necessary for the information to be unique. + +NOTE 2 – While it is important to identify all of this information, size constraints and the importance of the information will then be used to decide which elements of information are included in the actual text alternatives. + +## **10.5 Dealing with image complexity** + +### **10.5.1 Use of image components** + +Components of images should be identified and analysed, whenever this helps to identify important information. + +### **10.5.2 Textual information in images** + +The treatment of text within an image depends on whether or not a typical reader viewing the image would be able to read the text. + +- a) Each separate instance of text, which is in the language of the main body of text, within an image should be considered as a separate component of the image, so that its importance is considered in its treatment within the alternative text of the image. +- b) Text that is blurred or in a different language from the language of the main body of text should be treated as information about the image component in which it occurs. + +NOTE – It is sufficient for the text alternative to acknowledge that there is blurred text or that there is text that appears in a foreign language. If knowledge of the foreign language is relevant to understanding the image, the name of the foreign language can be specified. + +### **10.5.3 Information about whole images** + +Information to be gathered in the development of text alternatives for whole images should include: + +- a) the image type; + +- b) the image purpose; +- c) information about the content of the whole image; +- d) information about the image components. + +### **10.5.4 Information about image components** + +Information to be gathered in the development of text alternatives for image components should include: + +- a) a unique identifier for the image component; +- b) information about the content of the image component. + +# **11 Identifying the information (content) presented by the image** + +## **11.1 Content of an image or its components** + +The content of an image includes all the pieces of information about the image that satisfies the purpose of including the image in the document. + +There are four main types of content: + +- a) Subjective content – provides information about how to interpret the rest of the content (see clause 11.2). +- b) Objective content – provides factual information regarding what is obvious in the image (see clause 11.3). +- c) Relationship content – provides information on how the image or image component relates to the document and/or other components (see clause 11.4). +- d) Interaction content – provides information on any interactions associated with an image component (see clause 11.5). + +The identification of this content is intended to provide the main information out of which text alternatives can be constructed. It focuses on "what" and "who" is in the image and "what" this should mean to the reader. + +Where applicable to the type or intended purpose of the image, this information can be elaborated on in various manners. + +## **11.2 Subjective content** + +Subjective content describes the (affective) meaning of the image (or image component). Identifying subjective content involves interpreting the intended meaning of the image. Subjective content can include concepts, theories, symbolic meanings, intended emotions, opinions, judgments, and other explanations that go beyond factually identifying individual components and obvious relationships. + +NOTE 1 – A description of the subjective content of an image is different from a statement of purpose of an image. The subjective content identifies the meaning of the image or image component while a purpose identifies why the image was presented (see clause 9). + +The following questions can be considered in analysing the subjective information presented by images (or image components): + +- a) What concepts are associated with the image or the image component? +- b) What is the image or image component representing or symbolizing? +- c) If the colour(s) of the image or image component is symbolic, what is the colour(s) representing? +- d) What themes are represented? +- e) What emotions are being expressed? + +- f) How is the user expected to respond emotionally (with feelings, judgments and opinions) to the image? +- g) What other subjective information is important for users to know? + +NOTE 2 – These questions are best answered by the person who placed the image in the electronic document. If that person is not available to answer these questions, creating the text alternative will involve making informed personal judgements to answer these questions. + +## 11.3 Objective content + +Objective content presents (cognitive) facts that describe the image (or image component). + +It is usually preferable to identify images (or image components) as specifically as possible when analysing an image. Decisions will later be made regarding the importance of including this information in text alternatives (see clause 12) and how to organize the information (see clause 13). + +The following questions can be considered in analysing the objective information presented by images (or image components): + +- a) "What are the characteristics of the image (or image component)?" + - 1) Is there textual content that needs to be known? + - 2) Are there characteristics of physical objects that need to be known? + - 3) Is there information about a person in the image that needs to be known? + - 4) Are there perceptual properties of objects or persons that need to be known? + - 5) Are there artistic characteristics that need to be known? + - 6) Are there quantities that need to be known? +- b) "Where is the setting of the image?" +NOTE 1 – See also clause 11.4.5 for further considerations relating to physical (spatial) relationships of images and image components. +- c) "When does the image take place/represent?" + - 1) Does the time period need to be known? + - 2) Are states involved or changing that need to be known?NOTE 2 – See also clause 11.4.4 for further considerations relating to temporal relationships of images and image components. + +Depending on the image, its purpose and context, further elaboration of these questions can be important. + +NOTE 3 – Appendix I discusses possible elaborations to some of these questions in detail. Appendix II discusses further considerations related to particular types of images. + +## 11.4 Relationship content + +### 11.4.1 Relationships + +In addition to identifying images (and their components), it is important to identify relationships between images (and their components), both with each other and with the document in which they are displayed. + +For images with multiple image components, the relationships between those components can be essential to the understanding of the image. Relationships are especially important for diagram type images. + +Relationships are more complex and more diverse than merely answering "What relationships occur?" The relationships that are important to be considered and described are those that provide an + +understanding that support the purpose of the image. It is important to consider the various types of relationships that can be illustrated in an image. + +Relationships can be categorized into: + +- a) actions; +- b) logical relationships; +- c) temporal relationships; +- d) physical (spatial) relationships. + +### **11.4.2 Actions** + +Actions identify what is happening in an image with respect to one or more image components. + +NOTE – Actions include instantaneous events and longer-term activities. + +EXAMPLE 1 – A person is running. + +EXAMPLE 2 – A child is throwing a ball. + +EXAMPLE 3 – A car is driving down the road towards the city. + +Actions can be described in general or specific terms. + +Generic actions involve only general everyday knowledge available to a user. + +EXAMPLE 4 – Some examples of generic actions include: skipping, cutting, chopping. + +A generic action can be qualified in a manner that elaborates on it or that distinguishes it from other instances of similar actions. + +EXAMPLE 5 – The action of jumping can be qualified as: jumping over hurdles at 8.5 m/s. + +EXAMPLE 6 – The car drove around the puddle, rather than through it. + +The following questions can be considered in analysing the relationships presented by images (or image components): + +- a) What interaction or action is taking place in the image? +- b) What or who is performing the action in the image? +- c) What or who is the object of the action in the image? +- d) How is the action being performed in the image? +- e) What is the expected result of the action in the image? +- f) What other information about the action in the image is important for users to know? + +### **11.4.3 Logical relationships** + +Logical relationships explain how some element(s) (e.g., an image or image component) interact(s) with some other element(s). + +EXAMPLE 1 – Entity relationship diagrams and class diagrams illustrate different logical relationships between various (entity or class) components. + +Logical relationships are often referred to by more specific terms that name the type of relationship. + +NOTE – Some specific types of logical relationships include: associations, flows, parts, instances, responsibility and/or authority. + +EXAMPLE 2 – The student has a book. + +EXAMPLE 3 – Exhibitions are held at a museum. + +EXAMPLE 4 – Part A (the seat) is connected to the bicycle at location F. + +EXAMPLE 5 – The customer order includes the name of the customer and the items being ordered. + +While it is usual that both the subject and the object will be a part of the image being described, it is possible that either the subject or the object will only be implied. Where the image makes such an implication, it is important that the text alternatives make the user aware of this being implied. + +EXAMPLE 6 – The sailor is scanning the horizon. It is implied that he is looking for land. This relationship could be stated as, "The sailor is scanning the horizon looking for land" if the implication is valid (as opposed to looking for other ships or the weather). Otherwise it would be more suitable to state the relationship without mentioning an object, just as, "The sailor is scanning the horizon." + +### 11.4.4 Temporal relationships + +Temporal relationships explain when some action occurs or the time in which an entity occurs. + +NOTE 1 – This is a different use of time from just identifying when the image takes place (see clause 11.3). + +NOTE 2 – Temporal relationships can be found in many images including images containing: assembly lines (in a factory), assembly diagrams, flow diagrams, and state transition diagrams. + +This can include when apparent (or intended) changes to an image (or image component) occurs. It can include providing information on the sequencing of events. + +EXAMPLE – Flow diagrams and state transition diagrams illustrate one or more possible temporal sequences and their possible consequences. + +Sequential relationships can be: + +- linear (where one element leads to a single other element); +- branching/hierarchical (where one element leads to multiple other elements); +- cyclical/networked (any element in a set of elements eventually leads to all elements in the set, including itself); +- sets of one or more of the above. + +Individual sequential relationships can be: + +- one directional; +- bidirectional. + +The following questions can be considered in analysing the sequential relationships presented by images (or image components): + +- a) What is the basis (or purpose) of the sequential relationship? +- b) What types of sequential relationships are involved (linear, branching, cyclical, one directional, bidirectional)? +- c) If there is a start and/or end point(s) to the set of relationships, what are the start and/or end point(s)? +- d) What are the individual steps (components) of the relationship? +- e) What is a suitable basis (or method) for logically ordering the individual steps (components)? +- f) How is each step (component) related temporally to the other steps (components)? This can include: + - 1) connections to previous and following steps (components); + - 2) time involved in individual steps (components) or for the transition between steps (components); + - 3) logic (decision or event) involved in moving from one step (component) to another. +- g) What other information about the sequential relationship is important for users to know? + +### 11.4.5 Physical (spatial) relationships + +Physical (spatial) relationships explain where an image (or image component) is located in relation to other physically occurring elements in the image or in the document in which the image is positioned. + +NOTE 1 – This is different from the setting pictured in the image (see clause 11.3). + +NOTE 2 – While physical positioning can be easily identified, it is important to recognize which physical relationship are important and which can be ignored. + +EXAMPLE 1 – A photograph shows a physical layout of objects. However, it is important to determine which physical relationships are important to understanding the intended meaning of the photograph. + +EXAMPLE 2 – Assembly diagrams and component diagrams illustrate the intended physical relationships between components. Where an image of the side or back of a computer is intended to show the possible inputs and outputs to the computer, knowing the relative locations between a headphone output port and a microphone input port can be important to help users to properly insert the correct cables. + +EXAMPLE 3 – Maps focus on the spatial relationships between the components that they illustrate. + +The following questions can be considered in analysing the physical (spatial) relationships presented by images (or image components): + +- a) Where is the image (or image component) spatially located within the document (or image)? + +NOTE 3 – This can be answered in terms of the coordinates of the image (or image component). There are various ways in which coordinates can be expressed based on, such as: + +- 1) The coordinates of the top left corner of the image component relative to some other component or to the entire image. +- 2) The coordinates of the centre of the image component relative to some other component or to the entire image. +- 3) The coordinates of the top, bottom, left, and right of the image component relative to some other component or to the entire image. + +- b) Where (in general) is the image (or image component) located with regards to the object (e.g., document, image, image component) that contains it? (For example, upper left, lower right.) + +- c) Where is the image (or image component) relative to other entities (surrounding content, or internal components)? + +NOTE 4 – Relative positioning can be used to express various spatial relationships including: above, below, to the right of, to the left of, in front of, behind, touches, crosses, overlaps, contains, within. + +## 11.5 Interaction content + +It is important to explain what types of actions can be performed on images or their components. Many images and image components are only intended to provide information to the user, without allowing the user to manipulate or otherwise interact with them. + +Where interactions with an image or image component are possible, it is important that these interactions be identified both to avoid unintentional activations of these actions and to be able to intentionally activate desired actions. + +The following questions can be considered in analysing the intended use of images (or image components): + +- a) How is the user supposed to interact with the image (or image component)? +- b) What action is the user supposed to perform in order to interact with the image (or image component)? +- c) What is intended to result from interacting with or performing an action on the image (or image component)? + +- d) What can go wrong in the interaction with the image (or image component)? + +## **11.6 Analysing the information presented by an image** + +- a) Depending on the type and purpose of the image, further information about the main content of the image and its components should be analysed. This includes: +- 1) Subjective content; + - 2) Objective content; + - 3) Relationship content; + - 4) Intended use content. +- b) Where an elaboration of some main content appears to be useful, this elaboration may be done, prior to evaluating the importance of the content. + +# **12 Evaluating the importance of the information about the image** + +## **12.1 Importance is context dependent** + +The context in which the image is used helps to determine the importance of pieces of information about the image. The same image can be used for different reasons or purposes. Depending on the purpose and context, different pieces of information become important or unimportant. Therefore, different text alternatives (including in the main text and in primary and secondary alternative texts) can be created for a single image. + +NOTE 1 – The importance of a piece of information can change when the purpose and/or context of the image changes. + +NOTE 2 – In situations where the image presents unique information, this information adds to what is presented in the main body of text. Additional objective, subjective, and relationship information presented in an image is important to the understanding of the document. + +NOTE 3 – In situations where the image complements (restates, modifies, elaborates, supplements) the main body of text, the image can also contain information that is not provided in the main body of text. Complimentary objective and subjective information can be important to the understanding of the document. A full understanding of the image can provide a better understanding of the document. + +NOTE 4 – In situations where the image adds visual appeal, the image creates or modifies the mood of the document, the information can be focused on the subjective rather than the objective understanding of the document. While images used for visual appeal can have little or no objective information, the subjective information they present can be important to a full understanding of the document. + +## **12.2 Importance** + +### **12.2.1 Levels of importance** + +There are four levels of importance (essential, significant, helpful, and not important). + +### **12.2.2 Essential information** + +Essential information is necessary to understand the image within the document in which it appears. + +Essential information needs to be presented either in the main body of text (when referring to the image) or in the primary alternative text. + +NOTE 1 – By placing essential information in the main body of text (when appropriate) it ensures that all users (not just users with screen readers) will have access to this information. + +Essential information can have some or all of the following properties: + +- It is aimed at the target audience. +- It needs to be known in order to comprehend the document. + +- Most people want/need it most of the time. +- The user would be confused as to what the document is talking about without this information. +- Without it, the user has no idea why the image is there or what the image is for. +- It provides a good first impression of the image. +- Based on this information, the user will determine if they need/want to know more about it. +- For the content provider, this is the information that the content provider absolutely wants to tell people about. +- It provides the essence, purpose, function, or intent of the image. +- It identifies that the image conflicts with the main body of text and that this conflict is intentional. + +NOTE 2 – As more of these properties apply, it is more likely that the information is essential. + +NOTE 3 – Both the image type and image purpose are usually essential information. Other information can also be essential, especially when it fulfils more than one of the above properties. + +### 12.2.3 Significant information + +Significant information provides a comprehensive understanding of the image within the document in which it appears, when such information is desired by the user (based on the user's understanding of the essential information). Significant information satisfies the detailed interests of most users most of the time. + +Significant information needs to be presented either in the primary alternative text or in secondary alternative text. + +NOTE 1 – The placement of significant information depends on the amount of essential information that is already contained in primary alternative text. + +- a) Where all the essential information has been placed in the main body of text, then significant information can usually be placed in the primary alternative text. +- b) Where a large amount of essential information has been placed in the primary alternative text, then significant information can be better placed in the secondary alternative text to avoid overloading the primary alternative text. + +Significant information can have some or all of the following properties: + +- It is aimed at the target audience. +- It gives a more detailed and thorough understanding of the image and/or document. +- It is information that could be obtained from viewing the image by more than a quick glance. +- The user needs to know about it while reading the document, in order to understand the document. +- The user can decide to know more based on the essential information. This information goes into more details about the essential information. +- Without this information, the user has an idea of what the image is about and the reason the image is there but does not have a detailed understanding about it. +- This is information that further explains and gives more details on what the content provider wants to tell the users. + +NOTE 2 – As more of these properties apply, it is more likely that the information is significant. + +### 12.2.4 Helpful information + +Helpful information provides more detailed information about the image for those users who wish to further explore or understand the image, beyond its intended role within the document. + +Because helpful information is only of interest to some of the users some of the time, it is not appropriate to be placed in the primary alternative text. + +Helpful information may be placed in secondary alternative text or in a separate document that is linked from either the main body of text or the primary alternative text. + +Helpful information can have some or all of the following properties: + +- It provides specific details that can be of interest to some who are the target audience of the document. +- It is targeted towards very specific audiences (other than the target audience) or a subset of the target audience. +- It provides the user with a better understanding of the image when the user is not an expert in the topic area or not the target audience of the document. +- It reassures users that they have not missed something of greater importance. +- Without this information, the users have a fairly complete understanding of what the document is about but can have some things that they still want to know. +- It includes different or other possible interpretations of the information being expressed by the image. +- The content provider uses this information to clarify some things for some people. +- It includes optional extra information that is seldom wanted or needed but elaborates on what is already there. + +NOTE – As more of these properties apply, it is more likely that the information is helpful. + +### **12.2.5 Not important information** + +Information is not important if it does not help to provide much additional understanding of the image. This can include information that is not appropriate to consider given the context of the image within the document. + +Information which is not important is inappropriate to be presented to users either in the main body of text or in text alternatives. + +Information that is not important can have some or all of the following properties: + +- Very few to no users will want to know or care to know this information. +- It is rarely helpful. +- It is not important enough to mention. +- Without this information, the user knows everything they want or need to know in order to understand the document and/or image. +- This is information that can result in unintended confusion and does not help users understand what the content provider is saying. + +NOTE – As more of these properties apply, it is more likely that the information is not important. + +## **12.3 Textual content in images** + +Receiving information about text in images is generally important to understanding the content of the image. The manner of making text available will depend on its importance level and the amount of text involved. + +- a) Large amounts of text can be too large to fit in the primary alternative text and can be better placed either in the main body of text (if essential or significant) or in secondary alternative text. + +- b) Short amounts of text can be placed either in the primary alternative text of an image or, if they are of lesser importance, within the secondary alternative text of an image. +- c) Portions of text, where some of the text is obscured, can be placed according to their importance. + +## **12.4 Using importance to allocate information to text alternatives** + +### **12.4.1 Including subjective information in text alternatives** + +- a) Where the meaning of an image (or image component) is essential, this meaning shall be included within the main body of text or the primary alternative text of an image. +- b) Where the meaning of an image (or image component) is significant, this meaning should be included within the main body of text or the alternative text of an image. +- c) Where the meaning of an image (or image component) is helpful, this meaning may be included within the secondary alternative text of an image. + +### **12.4.2 Including objective information in text alternatives** + +- a) When it is essential to identify an image (or image component) in terms of objective content, this identification shall be included within the main body of text or the primary alternative text of an image. +- b) When it is significant to identify an image (or image component) in terms of objective content, this identification should be included within the main body of text or the alternative text of an image. +- c) When it is helpful to identify an image (or image component) in terms of objective content, this identification may be included within the secondary alternative text of an image. + +### **12.4.3 Including relationship information in text alternatives** + +- a) Essential information about relationships shall be described within the main body of text or the primary alternative text of an image. +- b) Significant information about relationships should be described within the main body of text or the alternative appropriate text of an image. +- c) Helpful information about relationships may be included within the secondary alternative text of an image. + +### **12.4.4 Including information on associated activities in text alternatives** + +- a) Information on associated activities shall be included in the primary alternative text of an image. +- b) Where only a single action can be performed, information on this action may be combined with identifying the component as an active component. +- c) Where multiple actions can be performed, the image component should first be identified as being an active component, and then the various possible actions should be identified. + +### **12.4.5 Dealing with large amounts of essential information** + +Where there is more essential information than will fit in the available space in the primary alternative text of an image, all of this essential information shall be placed in a text alternative in the main body of text. + +### **12.4.6 Placing text alternatives in the main body of text** + +Where the text alternative for an image is included within the main body of text: + +- a) if the document type allows specifying an image-description relationship in a machine-readable way, this shall be used in addition to the manner specified in b); + +EXAMPLE 1 – In HTML 5, the accessible rich Internet applications (ARIA) attributes *aria-describedby* and *aria-details* can be used to indicate such a relationship. + +- b) the text alternative shall be preceded by a phrase indicating that it is serving as the text alternative for the image; + +NOTE 1 – This explicit phrase is important for conveying the purpose of the text alternative to persons who can otherwise think that this information is redundant with other parts of the main body of text. + +EXAMPLE 2 – The text alternative in the main body of text is preceded by, "[The following paragraph provides the text alternative for Figure 3]". + +- c) the primary alternative text for the image shall indicate that the text alternative for the image is presented in the main body of text; + +EXAMPLE 3 – The primary alternative text for an image is, "The alternative text for this image is in the main body of text, immediately preceding the image". + +- d) the text alternative in the main body of text should precede (rather than follow) the image; + +NOTE 2 – It is preferable for the text alternative to immediately precede the image, unless formatting considerations make this impractical. + +- e) text alternatives shall not be placed in annexes, appendices, or other locations removed at a distance from the image for which they apply. + +### **12.4.7 Handling conflicting information** + +Text alternatives for an image are intended to inform users of information that the image is communicating. There can be times when the image presents information conflicts with what is presented in the main body of text. The conflicting information could be intentionally or unintentionally presented. + +- a) If the conflicting information is intentionally there, then the information should be pointed out and explained as part of the text alternatives or the main body of text. Since the conflicting information was intentionally made available visually, it should also be made visible in text alternatives or the main body of text. +- b) If the conflicting information is unintentionally there and recognizing this, the decision is made to retain the image despite the conflicting information, then the conflicting information should not be presented in the text alternatives. + +# **13 Compose the text alternatives** + +## **13.1 Composition** + +There is a difference between identifying information about an image and composing suitable alternative text from that information. Once the information has been analysed for its importance and allocated to a particular type of text alternative (main text, primary alternative text, or secondary alternative text), care then needs to be taken to organize and word the information in a manner that works with the main text. + +## **13.2 Organizing the information** + +### **13.2.1 Eliminating duplications** + +The guidance on identifying image components (see clause 10) and identifying the content of images and their components (see clause 11) is intended to help identify all the important (see clause 12) information about an image and its components. In following this guidance, it is possible to identify some information multiple times (which is better than missing some of it). + +It is important to remove redundancies when creating text alternatives, in order to make them concise and quick to use. + +EXAMPLE – Most relationships are two-directional. Thus, if A is part of B, then B is composed of various parts including A. Only one of these two expressions of the relationship is needed in the text alternative in order to inform the reader. + +### **13.2.2 Fitting into the context of use of the image** + +An image fits within its context of use. This context of use, especially information presented prior to the image and the caption of the image, can help a user to understand the image. This context of use can be important both to what is said and what is not said in text alternatives. + +It can help to identify where the image provides further information and can suggest how to tie this information when presented in a text alternative into the information presented in the main text. + +Where a document contains an explanation of an image, or other information that is also presented in the image, this information does not need be repeated within text alternatives, unless the image presents additional information related to it. + +NOTE – This is especially relevant if the information is presented in the main text before or near the image. + +While this Recommendation does not provide guidance on writing captions, it is important that captions are not repeated word for word in alternative text. + +### **13.2.3 Independence of importance from order** + +Importance is used for selecting the information to present, but not necessarily the order of presentation. While it is important to identify the type and purpose of an image before elaborating on the image, the order of presenting the rest of the information within a text alternative will depend on its context of use, the flow of the document, the style of the document and needs of conciseness and readability. + +## **13.3 Wording text alternatives** + +### **13.3.1 Flow with the document content** + +It is important that the text alternatives be written in a way that when read it flows with the rest of the document content. Depending on how and where the image is positioned in the document, the text alternatives can be read at different times. + +EXAMPLE – A screen reader can begin reading the webpage content about Napoleon's adventures, then reads the text alternatives for the image of Napoleon, and then continues reading the webpage content about Napoleon's adventures. Flow can be improved if the text alternative speaks of this as an image of Napoleon the adventurer rather than just an image of Napoleon. + +### **13.3.2 Style** + +Since text alternatives are part of a document, it is important that they be worded similar to how the main body of text is worded. + +EXAMPLE 1 – Where the main body of text is worded very formally, the text alternatives are also worded formally. + +NOTE – Style refers to how something is worded, not what is included in the wording. Thus formal styles, as well as all other styles, can be used to convey both objective and subjective information about an image. + +EXAMPLE 2 – Where the main body of text is worded like a story the text alternative is worded in a manner that fits into the story. + +### **13.3.3 Conciseness and readability** + +While "a picture can be worth a thousand words", it is seldom desirable or appropriate to use nearly that many words to describe a picture in its text alternatives. It is important to get the message stated concisely and readably. + +Writing concise and readable text alternatives can be assisted by: + +- a) combining ideas with simple, commonly understood words rather than expressing each of them in phrases or sentences; +- b) introducing jargon and other concepts needed to understand and/or describe the image in the main body of text prior to the image; +- c) keeping sentences simple, breaking complex ideas into multiple sentences. + +If the important information presented by the image is short, there is less need to identify the purpose and type of image. Presenting the simple information is often sufficient. + +As the amount of important information presented by an image increases, so does the usefulness of identifying the purpose and/or type of the image before presenting this important information. This will aid the reader in deciding whether to read the remainder of the text alternative or not. + +## **13.4 Creating text alternatives** + +Once each piece of information has been allocated to the main body of text, the primary alternative text, or secondary alternative text (see clause 12), organizing information into text alternatives should involve: + +- 1) removing redundancies within the identified information; +- 2) composing appropriate wording for the text alternatives; +- 3) evaluating the text alternatives (see clause 14); +- 4) iterating these steps until the text alternatives are acceptable. + +# **14 Evaluate the text alternative** + +## **14.1 The range of evaluation issues** + +Text alternatives should be evaluated to ensure that they: + +- a) describe the type, purpose and context of the image; +- b) work with the main body of text. + +## **14.2 The range of evaluation methods and testers** + +Text alternatives should be evaluated by a range of methods involving different types of testers. + +- a) It is preferable that text alternatives within documents be evaluated by vision impaired users. This can determine if the text alternatives provide important information and whether or not the text alternatives flow with the surrounding content. It can also identify further questions about the image that visually impaired users may need to be answered. + +NOTE 1 – Since the text alternatives will more frequently be used by visually impaired users, they are the most appropriate people to perform the evaluation. + +NOTE 2 – Visually impaired users are not usually to evaluate how completely a text alternative describes the important information of an image. + +- b) Where visually impaired users are not available to evaluate the text alternative, sighted users can evaluate text alternatives in the document with the images not visible. + +NOTE 3 – Evaluations by users able to see text alternatives for images that they cannot see only approximate the evaluations that would be performed by visually impaired users. Users able to see have different expectations and needs that will influence the results of such evaluations. + +EXAMPLE – A webpage, using a text-only web browser or a web browser with images not presented to view the webpage can help a sighted individual experience a web page where text alternatives are needed. + +- c) The evaluation of text alternatives by people who can see the image can help determine if the text alternatives truly represent the content of the image and communicate the important information (or identify important information that is missing). + +# Appendix I + +## Further elaboration of objective content of images + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +## I.1 General + +This appendix contains considerations that can be applied to the elaboration of a wide variety of images, and is especially relevant to drawings and photographs. Appendix II contains considerations that can be applied to specific types of images. + +## I.2 Characteristics of the image or image component + +### I.2.1 Elaborating on physical objects + +Each object in the image can be considered as an image component. The following questions can be considered in creating text alternatives for images (or image components) involving physical objects: + +- a) What does the object represent? +- b) What is the brand/model/part name (number) of the object? + +### I.2.2 Elaborating on people + +Each person in the image can be considered as an image component. The following questions can be considered in creating text alternatives for images (or image components) involving people: + +- a) Who is the image or image component of? +- b) What does the person look like? (Age, sex, nationality, hair colour, eye colour, hairstyle, etc.) +- c) What is the facial expression of the person? +- d) What is the person doing? +- e) What position is the person in? (Standing with hands across the chest, for example.) +- f) What other information about the person is important for users to know? + +### I.2.3 Elaborating on perceptual objects or persons + +Perceptual content describes the physical appearance of the object. + +NOTE – Perceptual content describes low-level perceptual features of an image (or image component), in a manner similar to that possible by basic vision detection systems. + +Typical perceptual features include: colour, texture, shape and pattern. + +EXAMPLE – Some perceptual features can be expressed as: blue, yellow, blue-green, aqua, smooth, rough, round, square. + +Perceptual content does not assign any meanings to any of these features. Meaning belongs within subjective content. + +The following questions can be considered in creating text alternatives for the perceptual properties of images (or image components): + +- a) What (are) the colour(s) of the image (or image component)? +- b) What is the shape of the image (or image component)? +- c) What is/are the size/dimensions of the image (or image component)? +- d) What is the texture of the image (or image component)? +- e) How is the image (or image component) positioned? (For example, sideways, angled, and facing left.) +- f) What other perceptual information is important for users to know? + +### **I.2.4 Elaborating on artistic characteristics** + +There are various artistic characteristics that can be used to describe an image. + +It is generally possible to distinguish between: + +- a) a realistic image (or image component); +- b) an abstract image (or image component); +- c) a non-realistic image (or image component). + +For works of art, it is often important to distinguish the school to which the image belongs (impressionist, surrealist, etc.). + +It is sometimes possible to distinguish the source of the image. + +### **I.2.5 Elaborating on locations/settings/places** + +While locations are also dealt with under "Where", there are situations in which a location is a significant component of an image. In these situations, a location also becomes a "What". + +NOTE – It is better to identify redundant information than to miss identifying important information. Redundancies can be eliminated when the actual text alternatives are written. + +The following questions can be considered in creating text alternatives for images (image components) involving locations or places: + +- a) What is the location, setting or place depicted in the image (or image component)? +- b) What specific landmarks are visible in the image (or image component)? +- c) What other information about the location is important for users to know? + +### **I.2.6 Elaboration on quantities** + +The following questions can be considered in creating text alternatives for images (or image components) with quantitative information (such as charts and graphs): + +- a) What is the quantity? +- b) What is the quantity associated with?/What does the quantity represent? +- c) What is the unit of the quantity? +- d) Is the quantity fixed or dynamic? +- e) What is the precision (or statistical significance) of the quantity? +- f) What is the trend that can be interpreted from the data? +- g) What do the axis or axes represent? + +NOTE – To present the specific quantitative data, the data can be presented in a table while a summary or analysis of the data can be presented in the form of text alternatives. + +## **I.3 Some temporal properties of images or image components** + +### **I.3.1 Introduction to temporal properties** + +There are two types of temporal properties to consider + +- a) Temporal properties that are part of the information that is presented by an image (or image component), including: + - 1) time periods; + - 2) events. +- b) Temporal properties relating to changes in an image (or image component) including: + - 1) image components which change in order to represent state information; + +2) images within slide shows. + +NOTE 1 – While moving images are outside the scope of this Recommendation, it is recognized that some information relating to change can apply to the images (or image components) that are within the scope of this Recommendation. + +NOTE 2 – While the focus of various temporal properties is "when" something occurs, the wording in the following sub clauses does not always use the word "when". + +### **I.3.2 Elaborating about time periods** + +An image (or image component) can be readily identifiable with some particular time period(s), such as: + +- time of day (e.g., morning, midday, afternoon, evening, night); +- special days (e.g., holiday celebrations); +- time of year (e.g., spring, summer, autumn, winter, January); +- historic period (e.g., the 1960s, the Victorian era, the stone age). + +If time period information is readily identifiable regarding an image (or image component), then it is important to be included within the primary or secondary alternative text of an image (or image component) according to its importance level. + +### **I.3.3 Elaborating about events/activities** + +Events in people's lives are often synonymous to activities and can be related to actions (see clause 11.4.2). An image (or image component) can be readily identifiable with some particular event/activity (e.g., a birthday party, a wedding, a picnic, a baseball game, baking a pizza). + +In more scientific terms, events are usually considered to occur instantaneously when something changes. An image (or image component) can be readily identifiable with some particular instantaneous event (e.g., the start or end of a race, the loss of power to some device, an accident). + +If information about an event is readily identifiable regarding an image (or image component), then it is important to be included within the primary or secondary alternative text of an image (or image component) according to its importance level. + +### **I.3.4 Elaborating on states** + +Individual image components can change within an image to provide various types of state related information. + +EXAMPLE 1 – Connectivity and power icons are used to demonstrate the signal strength and amount of charge of a system. + +EXAMPLE 2 – Images used for links are provided a distinctive border to indicate that the link has already been visited. + +EXAMPLE 3 – Images are displayed lighter or greyed in order to indicate that the control associated with the image is not available. + +The following questions can be considered in creating text alternatives for images (or image components) involving changes in individual image components: + +- a) What different states (values) can occur for the image component? +- b) How are different states (values) visually represented? + +# Appendix II + +## Further considerations for particular types of images + +(This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) + +## II.1 Further considerations for particular types of drawings and photographs + +### II.1.1 Portraits + +Portraits are images that can identify one or more individuals. Portraits are often used to make a name more real and more human. They can provide character and context to help understand the person. + +Text alternatives for a portrait can include information on: + +- a) the age or age range (child, youth, young adult, adult, senior, etc.) of the person; +- b) the look on the person's face (serious, relaxed, startled, etc); +- c) the type/period of clothing worn by the person; +- d) the background setting (if any); +- e) any actions the person is involved with; +- f) any obvious relationships to others in the image. + +It is important that text alternatives to a portrait only describe those characteristics of a person that can be visually determined by someone looking at the image and avoid adding other information that is not visually represented in the image. + +### II.1.2 Symbolic images + +Some images are presented to symbolize concepts rather than the actual components that they are constructed from. + +EXAMPLE – An image of a handshake is often used to symbolize trustworthiness, integrity, etc. + +When an image is used to symbolize some concept, it is more important that the text alternative focus on the intended concept rather than provide a literal description of the image. + +NOTE – In creating text alternatives for symbolic images, one can consider "If I could not use this image, what would I put in its place?" in order to determine appropriate alternative text. + +Symbolism can also be used for individual components of an image. Where the symbolism is obvious, it can be important to identify or explain the symbolism. Where symbolism is purely visual (i.e., in the use of symbolic colours) it is more important that the text alternative focus on the intended symbolism rather than provide a visual description of the component. + +### II.1.3 Images of text + +While images containing only text are generally not appropriate, there can be some circumstances where they are used (an image of a particular document, an image of an actual signature, etc.). + +If the text in the image is readable and relevant to the document, it is important to provide a complete transcript of the text in the image. + +If the text is not expected to be readable (e.g., blurred, too small, or in a foreign language), it is important to acknowledge that the image contains text and to explain why a complete transcript is not being provided (e.g., blurred, too small, or in a foreign language). It can also be important to elaborate on this acknowledgement (e.g., by identifying the foreign language, if that is not identified in the main text). + +### **II.1.4 Images used to label other information** + +Various simple images (symbols, emoji's, etc.) can be used as graphic labels for individual pieces of information. In these cases, they typically represent a single word or a simple concept (telephone, happy, etc.). + +Where an image represents a single word or a short phrase, it is appropriate that the alternative text be limited to presenting this word or sort phrase. + +### **II.1.5 Groups of images conveying a single piece of information** + +In some cases, a group of simple images (e.g., stars) are used to convey a single piece of information (e.g., a rating). In this case, it is important to provide information on the group rather than on the individual images (see clause 8.8.2). + +### **II.1.6 Icons and other control images** + +Icons are user interface symbols representing an object and/or function of the computer system (clause 2.1, [b-ISO/IEC 11581-1]. The main purpose of icons and images used as controls (buttons, links, etc.) is to initiate an action rather than to convey information. + +Where an image is used for control purposes, it is appropriate for the alternative text to be limited to identifying the purpose of the control (e.g., print this Recommendation). + +### **II.1.7 Images used with a fully descriptive caption** + +Some images provide little information beyond what is already contained in their caption. It is not suitable to repeat information in the caption, unless it is being elaborated on with important additional information in the text alternative. + +Where the caption provides all the information necessary to fully describe the image, the text alternative can be a simple reference, such as "see caption for text alternative". + +### **II.1.8 Images that are fully described in the main text** + +While it is important to reduce redundancy, it is also important for readers to be assured that they have not missed something important by not seeing an image. Where the image is used to elicit an emotional response (including by providing "eye candy") there can be important subjective content that the main text is missing (see clause 11.2). + +Where an image is fully described in the main text, it is important to identify in the main text that this description also serves as the text alternative for the image (see clause 12.4.6). + +## **II.2 Further considerations for diagrams and maps** + +### **II.2.1 Assembly, component and similar diagrams** + +Images are often used to illustrate a set of physical components and how they physically interconnect. These images can be used for various purposes, including: to understand the workings of a system, to assist in the assembly/disassembly of a system, and to assist in diagnosing problems within the system. In some situations, multiple images can be used provide different views on the same set of components. + +The main text that accompanies these types of illustrations often names the components and explains which component connects to which other components. In some instances, a listing of components precedes a step by step listing of assembly/disassembly instructions. This text is often written very compactly with the expectation that the image will provide significant supplemental information, often intended to be used in parallel with this text. Often the main text will refer to set of images that illustrate progressive steps in the assembly/disassembly/operation of the system. + +Each image typically goes beyond this text to illustrate physical characteristics of each component and often how these physical characteristics interact to facilitate the connection or operation of different components. The image also typically provides information on the relative positioning of individual components, which can aid in their assembly. + +These types of images generally label each component, either with its name or some reference identifier that corresponds to information contained in the main text. In this case it is important not to treat these labels as separate components. However, text or relationship information (beyond the set of physical components) that is inserted in the image for other purposes (e.g., instructions on how to position or connect components or indications of the direction of motion of a component) can still be treated separately from the physical components in the image. + +Considerations for the text alternatives for these types of images include: + +- a) How the text alternative works with the main text (regardless of where the text alternative is located); +NOTE 1 – It is important to remember that the role of the image is often to elaborate the main text, rather than to fully replace it and that the two are presented separately to the user. It is important to focus text alternatives on information not contained in the main text that supports that text, while minimizing duplication. +NOTE 2 – It is easier to achieve this working together when the alternative text is created at the same time as the main text and the image. +- b) How the text alternative will assist the reader in achieving the goals intended for the image (e.g., assisting with assembling a system); +NOTE 3 – While this type of image often contains a large amount of information, it is important to evaluate the importance of this information with regards to the intended uses of the image. +- c) How the text alternative assists in the identification of different components and their important characteristics. +NOTE 4 – While physical components can be highly complex, the most important information about an individual component will usually focus on identifying how it is distinct from other components and how it connects to other components. + +### **II.2.2 Flow and relationship diagrams** + +The relationships found in flow and relationship diagrams are much more important than the actual layout and shape(s) of the objects that they contain. + +Most flow and relationship diagrams are configured to easily fit the available space in an image. The actual location of individual components only matters where there are connections between components. This can mean unusual configurations that were chosen to avoid or minimize the flow and relationship lines crossing one another. The location of components is only important if they are presented based on their physical layout in some particular location. + +Flow and relationship diagrams often use different shapes to represent different types of components. Rather than describing the shapes of these objects, what is important is to combine the information presented by the shape with the name of the component. + +EXAMPLE – Data flow diagrams use different shapes for processes and data stores.

Tables are especially useful for graphs and other representations of discrete values. + +NOTE – While a mathematical formula can be a more accurate representation of some continuous data, it is often more information than would be provided to a person looking at that data when it is visually presented in a graph. + +### **II.2.4 Maps and other images with active areas** + +Some maps and other images (such as organization charts) contain multiple active components that are often used to provide links to further content. It is important to treat these as composite images with text alternatives both for the overall image and for each active image component (see clause 8.7). + +## **II.3 Background images** + +It is often not possible to provide alternative text to the background of a webpage or other types of electronic documents. + +Where information on a background is needed, it can often only be presented in the main body of text. + +# Bibliography + +- [b-ISO 32000-1:2008] ISO 32000-1:2008, *Document management – Portable document format – Part 1: PDF 1.7*. +- [b-ISO/IEC 11581-1] ISO/IEC 11581-1:2000, *Information technology – User system interfaces and symbols – Icon symbols and functions – Part 1: Icons – General*. +- [b-ISO/IEC 13249-5] ISO/IEC 13249-5:2003, *Information technology – Database languages – SQL multimedia and application packages – Part 5: Still image*. +- [b-ISO/IEC TS 20071-21] ISO/IEC TS 20071-21:2015, *Information technology – User interface component accessibility – Part 21: Guidance on audio descriptions*. +- [b-ISO/IEC 20071-23] ISO/IEC 20071-23:2018, *Information technology – User interface component accessibility – Part 23: Visual presentation of audio information (including captions and subtitles)*. +- [b-ISO/IEC 20071-25] ISO/IEC TS 20071-25:2017, *Information technology – User interface component accessibility – Part 25: Guidance on the audio presentation of text in videos, including captions, subtitles and other on-screen text*. +- [b-ISO/IEC 40500] ISO/IEC 40500:2012, *Information technology – W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0*. +- [b-ISO/IEC/IEEE 23026] ISO/IEC/IEEE 23026:2015, *Systems and software engineering – Engineering and management of websites for systems, software, and services information*. +- [b-ITU H.Sup.17] ITU-T H-Series Supplement 17 (2014) | ISO/IEC Guide 71:2014, *Guide for addressing accessibility in standards*. +- [b-IDG] Benetech, Diagram Center, *Image Description Guidelines*, +- [b-IGEPUB3] Benetech Diagram Center. *Image Guidelines for EPUB 3*, +- [b-CB] Defense Visual Information Directorate, *Captioning Basics*, [https://imagery.navy.mil/training/captioning\\_basics.pdf](https://imagery.navy.mil/training/captioning_basics.pdf) +- [b-Eakins] Eakins J.P., *Retrieval of still images by content*.

The circumstances to which AD applies include recorded videos, broadcasts and broadband television, cinema, live or recorded dramas, museums and art gallery exhibits, heritage tours, news, and comedies. Some of this content is static and unchanging, some are dynamic, some are expressed in a visual modality alone, and some are in a combination of visual and auditory modalities. + +An example of mainstream use of audio description techniques can be found in sports commentaries. It can be enjoyed by diverse audiences and uses personalities, emotional expressions and reactions to content to express qualities of the original content. + +Audiovisual material is produced for people who can see and hear. It is also typically produced in a specific language for a particular audience. Translations of the original auditory content and associated audio descriptions can be provided in different languages. Providing audio descriptions and translating them into other languages can be beneficial to diverse users within diverse contexts, including persons who are blind or persons with low vision, persons with learning difficulties or cognitive impairments and in the case of translation, persons who need the content to be in another language. Translating subtitles and other on-screen texts and providing them in auditory forms can also be beneficial. + +Producing audio descriptions can be thought of in a similar way to language translation where it involves several kinds of subjective decisions. For example, the use of vocabulary, tone, speed, intonation, and expression. The accuracy and quality that audio describers or script writers can achieve is determined by matching the factors above with the requirements of the original content. + +The creation and delivery of audio descriptions based on the guidance in this Recommendation is not intended to interfere with or change the meaning of the original content, freedom of speech and expression, or opinion of rights holders. + +Further benefits of providing audio descriptions can be attributed towards raising awareness of barriers experienced by blind persons and persons with low vision and other beneficiaries in accessing audiovisual content. The use of this Recommendation can also help embed universal and inclusive designed media content production practices in educational programmes (such as films, theatre performances, museums and art gallery exhibits and other forms of media). + +## **Recommendation ITU-T T.701.21** + +## **Guidance on audio description** + +# **1 Scope** + +This Recommendation provides recommendations for describing audiovisual content in an auditory modality for use in recorded video presentations, broadcast television, cinema, live or recorded dramas, museums and art gallery exhibits, heritage tours, news and comedies, regardless of the language and technology being used to transmit and present the recorded or live audiovisual content. + +NOTE 1 – There are many secondary users of audio description but the primary and intended users of audio descriptions are blind persons or persons with low vision and their friends and family. + +This Recommendation provides guidance on the subjective nature of creating audio description. + +It also provides guidance for audio description developers (script writers, voice narrators, and organizations or groups responsible for delivering audio description) in consistently and accurately representing audiovisual content. + +NOTE 2 – It might not always be possible to provide an equivalent experience due to limitations in the amount of time available for an audio description depending on the content being described. + +This Recommendation applies to describing audiovisual content and does not consider the devices or transmission mechanisms used to deliver the content or the audio description. These devices include but are not limited to, televisions, computers, wireless devices, projection equipment, digital versatile disk (DVD) and home cinema equipment and other forms of user interface technology. Therefore, this Recommendation does not consider transcoding files for the various video outputs. + +NOTE 3 – Technical matters of transmission and distribution are covered by other standards (e.g., motion picture experts group (MPEG) standards and other technical international standards such as [b-IEC 62731]). + +This Recommendation provides guidance on how to approach user preferences, available styles, and flexibility in approaches to audio description. + +It does not apply to static images contained in electronic documents (see [b-ITU-T T.701.11] for guidance on text alternatives for images). + +It applies mainly to auditory presentations intended to be transmitted or delivered simultaneously to the original audiovisual content. + +NOTE 4 – Limitations experienced by broadcasters or people in synchronous environments might be reduced online or in asynchronous environments. + +ITU-T T.701.21 is a twin text publication with ISO/IEC TS 20071-21:2015, "Information technology – User interface component accessibility – Part 21: Guidance on audio descriptions". + +# **2 References** + +The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.
