DVB board of directors ratifies GSE-Lite specifications
Designed to reduce the cost of consumer receiving equipment, this profile provides a fully functional DVB-GSE subset.
The 75th meeting of the DVB Board of Directors has ratified the new DVB GSE-Lite (Generic Stream Encapsulation) specification. This specification will now be submitted to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for formal standardization.
The DVB-GSE protocol enables efficient encapsulation of IP and other network layer packets over the second generation of the DVB-S2, DVB-C2, DVB-T2 and DVB-NGH specifications.
The first generation of DVB standards only supported data transport using the MPEG Transport Stream format with a packet multiplex (MPEG-TS). However, DVB-GSE maximizes the efficiency of IP datagram transport, thereby reducing overhead by a factor of 2 to 3 relative to DVB-MPE over MPEG-TS. This is achieved without compromising the functionalities provided by the protocol because the Layer 2 packet size varies and adapts to the characteristics of IP traffic.
The new profile reduces memory and processing requirements on both the transmitter and receiver. The GSE-Lige has been created taking into consideration the increase in the use of IP packets.
