Directory Structure of DVB-H Project

The subversion link of the mobile TV project is: https://cs-svn.cs.surrey.sfu.ca/svn/nsl The directory should be self-contained: users can set up a base station with only Ubuntu and our project directory. To achieve this, please keep our code within the project directory, and create symbolic links if necessary. For example, Apache server may access web files, which reside in /home/cly/DVB-H/web, through a link.

The current directory structure looks like:

.
|-- bin                           binaries for DVB-H service
|-- media                       sample video files
|-- scripts                      test scripts to launch test configurations
|   `-- esg_ipdc_test       test case with IPDC ESG and one TV channel
|-- src                           (possibly modified) source code for programs not supported by Ubuntu
|   |-- LinuxSDK             driver and API of the modulator card
|   |-- OpenCaster           DVB-T utilities, note that it only works with Python 2.4
|   |-- enc_proto             an early IPE prototype used to evaluate our algorithms (based on fatcaps)
|   |-- fatcaps_v0.5         IP Encapsulator
|   |-- fec-3.0.1               FEC library used by fatcaps
|   |-- flute                     mad flute code, we only use its simple sender
|   `-- log4c-1.2.1           logging library for C programs
|-- tar                            (unmodified) source code from other projects
`-- web                          web user interface
    `-- configs


Presetup:

login with proper account, know the bandwidth and frequency of DVB-H network, start PCI card with the following command

 /DVB-H/Dta1xx/Dta1xxInit start

File folder structures

(1) /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator

this folder is used to keep Encapsulator source files, whenever you change something in Encapsulator, you need to make again. See

 /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/Makefile for more details

make

make install

(they are installed to /usr/local/bin)

(2) /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/doxgen

this folder is used for doxgen of DVB-H Encapsulator

(3) /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/media

this folder is used to keep video source files

(4) /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/<test*>/log4crc

this files is used to control the log level, remember DVB-H Encapsulator use log4c, the log files are kept in

 /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/<test*>/logs

Note: each test will have its own log files, e.g. for test1, the logs are under /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/test1/logs

(5) /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/test*

these folders are used for DVB-H demo, each folder test a feature.


Test1: only play one video program, no ESG

 cd /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/test1
 ./run.py (it will call test1.sh, see the following for details)

After the test:

 ./stop.py   (it just do some system call to kill process)

steps:

1.1 start vlc to play the video file (done by test1.sh)

1.2 start DataAggregator (proxy) to get the packet (done by test1.sh)

1.3 start timeslicer (done by test1.sh)

1.4 add PSI/SI info (done by run.py)

1.5 use Dtplay to send DVB-H signal (done by run.py)


Test2: one video program and its ESG

 cd /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/test2
 ./run.py (it will call test2.sh, see the following for details)

After the test:

 ./stop.py  

steps:

2.1 (a) start vlc to play the video file (done by test2.sh)

2.1 (b) start flute to send ESG files (done by test2.sh)

2.2 (a) start DataAggregator (proxy) to get the packet from vlc (done by test2.sh)

2.2 (b) start DataAggregator (proxy) to get the packet from flute (done by test2.sh)

2.3 start timeslicer (done by test2.sh)

2.4 add PSI/SI info (done by run.py)

2.5 use Dtplay to send DVB-H signal (done by run.py)

Test3: three video programs, and one ESG

 cd /nsltester/DVBH-Encapsulator/test3
 ./run.py (it will call test3.sh, see the following for details)

After the test:

 ./stop.py

steps:

3.1 (a) start vlc to play three video files (done by test3.sh)

3.1 (b) start flute to send ESG files (done by test3.sh)

3.2 (a) start three DataAggregator (proxy) to get the packet from vlc (done by test3.sh)

3.2 (b) start one DataAggregator (proxy) to get the packet from flute (done by test3.sh)

3.3 start timeslicer (done by test3.sh)

3.4 add PSI/SI info (done by run.py)

3.5 use Dtplay to send DVB-H signal (done by run.py)
