Summary of accomplishments by Kaushik Choudhary.

31 May 2010

Was successfully able to implement the python pack method in C++ using . The data (regardless of type) now gets packed into the requisite binary string of bytes in the network-byte-order (big-endian). Padding has also been taken into consideration.
Understood vectors from STL and templates and used it to implement the method.
Tested the method's capability of packing native data types into the binary string. Tests were successful.

TODO
- Integrate method into the PSI/SI table generation framework and test the section files with the 'sec2ts' utility.

Implemented classes for the remaining tables - INT, SDT and PAT.
Still working on the pack function to pack the table data into sections. Placing the pack section in the main PSI/SI class so it can be used by all the tables.
Investigated test cases and found that the only independent test cases will be to use the section file generated from the tables and use it as a parameter for a utility to convert sections files into transport streams (sec2ts).
TODO: Test the sections generated with sec2ts for each of INT, SDT, PAT, PMT, TDT and NIT.

Studied Figure 9 on page 21 of "Design Document of Mobile TV Base Station" for use as reference design for implementation of PSI/SI tables in C++.
Started learning Python to understand old code for PSI/SI tables implemented in Python.
Studied the specification documents for PSI/SI in DVB-h [2,3].
Implemented classes for PMT, TDT and NIT Tables (these add up to the classes that were already implemented by Farid).
Helped to compile FEC library.
Will implement C++ equivalent of Python's pack method in the Psisi class to avoid duplication in each of the tables.
TODO
- Finish implementation of all classes for all the tables for PSI and SI.
- Implement C++ equivalent for Python's pack method.
- Perform unit testing before integrating into the main source branch.
- Perform integration testing.
