Summer 2011 (TA)

• Courses:
  • CMPT 826: Automated Learning Reasoning.

August 12

• Completed ESG transport. Integrating with Mtv.
• Looking for a method for evaluation.
• Could not work on the report much as I was busy completing a course project. Will work on report draft in the coming week.

May

• Summary of what has been done:
  • Finished implementing classes under ESG bootstrap complete with ESG Access Descriptor and ESG Provider Discovery. ** Also implemented ESG representation and encapsulation modules.
  • In representation, I only implemented the TextualDecoderInit to support XML fragments in only Gzip format which seems to be the standard.
  • ESG data repository containing that carries the different ESG fragments has also been implemented.
  • Currently, I am working on:
    • ESG transport which involves using the PSI/SI table fields to announce and transmit the ESG fragments.
    • The final report in the suggested format.

Spring 2011 (TA)

• Courses:
  • CMPT 885: Special Topics in Computer Architecture
  • CMPT 771: Internet Architecture and Protocols.

April 8

• I have been busy with my course project for CMPT 885 and I am currently working on the report. I haven't been able to allot time for the ESG project in the last two weeks.

Mar 28

• Resumed work on ESG representation. Finished implementation of all four classes.
• Started implementing ESG Encapsulation and so far I have finished the ESG Data Repository implementation.

Mar 14

• Work on course projects.
• Implemented the TextualDecoderInit and ESGInitMessage classes but have not been able to test it yet.

Mar 7

• Continuing implementation of ESG representation. Could not make a lot of progress this week due to course projects.

Feb 28

• Continuing implementation. Working on ESG representation.
• Updated design document with changes in ESG representation and ESG encapsulation. The document is here.

Feb 21

• Started implementation. Implemented classes for ESG Bootstrap.
• Downloaded sample ESG files to analyze fragment information. This will help in deciding what fragments to send. (Incomplete)

Feb 14

• Was busy with course project.

Feb 7

• Further updated design document after understanding the transport structure of ESG.
• Could not spend a lot of time on the project this week.
• Will start implementation this week.

Jan 31

• The updated design document may be found here: /nsl/students/choudhary/projects/PSISIESG/documents/reports.
• Could not do much this week.

Jan 24

• Prepared a class diagram for ESG server on paper. Currently digitizing it.

Jan 17

• Analyzed nokia.ts using SAMalyzer and SAMCorder in dvbSAM.
• Skimmed through ETSI TS 102 469, ETSI TS 102 472, ETSI TS 102 471, ETSI TS 102 591 and ETSI TS 102 592.
• Planned a possible design for ESG server in testbed.
  • Open areas:
    • Determine how to test if ESG is sent correctly. One possible way is using SAMCorder's Navigation option.
    • Finding a standard compliant receiver for testing ESG. Nokia implementations have proprietary components.

• • TODO:
    • Try receiving WingTV TS files on Nokia phones. If this experiment works, we could model our TS files on WingTV TS files as they are standard compliant.
    • Fixing MPE-FEC and continuity counter errors discovered using SAMCorder in current implementation.

• Read a paper on delivery of 3D video over DVB-H.

Jan 10

• Investigated requirements for ESG server implementations referring ETSI TS 102 471.
