0f Foreword |R16| p. 9

The 3GPP transparent end-to-end packet-switched streaming service (PSS) specification consists of seven 3GPP TSs: TS 22.233, TS 26.233, TS 26.234, TS 26.244, TS 26.245, TS 26.246, and the present document.

The TS 22.233 contains the service requirements for the PSS. The TS 26.233 provides an overview of the PSS. The TS 26.234 provides the details of the protocols and codecs used by the PSS. The TS 26.244 defines the 3GPP file format (3GP) used by the PSS and MMS services. The TS 26.245 defines the Timed text format used by the PSS and MMS services. The TS 26.246 defines the 3GPP SMIL language profile. The present document defines Progressive Download and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP.

The TS 26.244, TS 26.245 and TS 26.246 start with Release 6. Earlier releases of the 3GPP file format, the Timed text format and the 3GPP SMIL language profile can be found in TS 26.234.

The TS 26.247 starts with Release 10. Earlier releases of Progressive Download and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP can be found in TS 26.234.

0i Introduction |R16| p. 9

Progressive Download and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (3GP-DASH) collects a set of technologies how progressive download and adaptive streaming of continuous media may be carried out exclusively over HTTP.

1 Scope p. 10

The present document specifies Progressive Download and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (3GP-DASH). This specification is part of Packet-switched Streaming Service (PSS) and 5G Media Streaming. HTTP-based progressive download and dynamic adaptive streaming had initially been separated from TS 26.234 to differentiate from RTP-based streaming that is maintained in TS 26.234. HTTP-based progressive download and dynamic adaptive streaming may be deployed independently from RTP-based PSS, for example by using standard HTTP/1.1 servers for hosting data formatted as defined in the present document, and in particular together with 5G Media Streaming.

2 References p. 10

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
