Technical Note – Intelligent QoS Functions

Sony has implemented a number of QoS functions in all of its currently available videoconferencing systems. However, conventional QoS methods are inadequate when handling large amounts of data associated with high-definition video. Therefore, Sony has designed and implemented intelligent QoS functions in its high-definition PCS-HG90. Two major changes have been made as compared to existing methods. First, the system intelligently allocates the amount of ARQ, FEC, and video data based on the bandwidth available, which is determined by the ARC function. Second, FEC is performed with larger FEC blocks and the number of parity packets are adjusted as required. This combination is both efficient and effective for transmitting large amounts of data over IP networks to help maintain high-picture quality.
