Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and an apparatus for transmitting a multimedia data packet are provided. The method includes generating Media Abstraction Layer (MAL) information for abstracting information on the multimedia data to be transmitted, generating a multimedia data packet including said MAL information, and transmitting the generated multimedia data packet to a network entity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting a multimedia data packet, the method comprising: generating, by at least one processor, a media data packet including media data related information; and transmitting, by the at least one processor, the media data packet, wherein the media data related information includes quality of service (QoS) information indicating a delay sensitivity of a delivery, a transmission priority related to loss priority of the media data packet, and flow information indicating network resource related information. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network resource related information comprises information on a resource reservation during a session. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media data related information further comprises bit rate information. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the media data related information further comprises a buffer status. 5. An apparatus for transmitting a multimedia data packet, the apparatus comprising: a processor configured to generate a media data packet including media data related information; and a transmitter configured to transmit the media data packet, wherein the media data related information includes quality of service (QoS) information indicating a delay sensitivity of a delivery, a transmission priority related to loss priority of the media data packet, and flow information indicating network resource related information. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the network resource related information comprises information on a resource reservation during a session. 7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the media data related information further comprises bit rate information. 8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the media data related information further comprises a buffer status.
