The speech and audio media capabilities defined in this specification are primarily introduced in order to be used as content format in the context of 5G Media Streaming, but not restricted to this use case. Parameters for audio encoder/decoder, content format and transport are defined.
The present document defines:
-
Media decoding capabilities: the requirements for a receiver in terms of decoding
-
Media encoding capabilities: the requirements for a sender in terms of encoding
-
Operation Points: A collection of discrete combinations of different content formats and the encoding formats. Operation Points are supported by
-
Bitstream Requirements: A media bitstream that conforms to an audio or speech encoding format and certain Operation Point.
-
Receiver Requirements: A function that can decode and playback any Bitstream that is conforming to a certain Operation Point in real-time.
-
Sender Requirements: A function that can process and encode any Bitstream that is conforming to a certain Operation Point in real-time.
-
The integration of each Operation Point in 5G Media Streaming as defined in TS 26.501 and TS 26.511.
