  • Method and system for communicating H.263 macroblock boundaries using H.221 BAS for RFC2190-compliant fragmentation
    Patent number: 7995590
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packet at a first gateway and translating the RTP packet into a H.221 frame. The H.221 frame includes a H.263-compressed video bitstream. The H.221 frame may also include a H.221 Bit-Rate Allocation Signal (BAS) message to communicate RFC2190-compliant fragmentation boundary information containing Macroblock (MB) boundary to a second gateway, if there is no picture start code (PSC) or Group of Block start code (GBSC) at a start portion of the RTP packet. The method further includes transmitting the H.221 frame from the first gateway to the second gateway; and fragmenting the H.263 video bitstream contained in the H.221 frame at a PSC, a GBSC, or a Macroblock (MB) boundary contained in the H.221 BAS fragmentation message.
