Network-based Media Processing (NBMP) workflow management through 5G Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) control
A method, computer program, and computer system is provided for establishing Network-Based Media Processing (NBMP) workflow through 5G Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) control. A plurality of sinks and network capabilities of a network platform are discovered through a plurality of 5G FLUS discovery and capabilities mechanisms. An NBMP workflow is created, updated, retrieved, and deleted through a control interface comprising a FLUS source and a FLUS sink, whereby the 5G FLUS control is extended to support tunneling information between an NBMP source and an NBMP workflow manager.
1. A method for establishing Network-Based Media Processing (NBMP) workflow through a 5G Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) control, executable by a processor, comprising:
discovering a sink and a network capability of a network platform;
creating an NBMP workflow through a control interface comprising a FLUS source and a FLUS sink; and
extending the 5G FLUS control to support tunneling information between an NBMP source and an NBMP workflow manager.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network capability is described by an identifier and by a uniform resource locator (URL) location from which a description of the network capability is retrieved.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the description of the capability comprises an NBMP scheme identifier indicating that the NMBP workflow manager supports NBMP, the URL location, and a capability description document that describes the capability.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network capability is explicitly included in a discovery response.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein discovering the sink comprises the NBMP source making a request to the FLUS source.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) status code is returned based on the creation of the NBMP workflow.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the FLUS sink sends a request to the NBMP workflow manager to get the current platform capability.
8. A computer system for establishing Network-Based Media Processing (NBMP) workflow through a 5G Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) control, the computer system comprising:
one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media configured to store computer program code; and
one or more computer processors configured to access said computer program code and operate as instructed by said computer program code, said computer program code including:
discovering code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to discover a sink and a network capability of a network platform;
creating code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to create, an NBMP workflow through a control interface comprising a FLUS source and a FLUS sink; and
extending code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to extend the 5G FLUS control to support tunneling information between an NBMP source and an NBMP workflow manager.
9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the network capability is described by an identifier and by a uniform resource locator (URL) location from which a description of the network capability is retrieved.
10. The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the description of the capability comprises an NBMP scheme identifier indicating that the NMBP workflow manager supports NBMP, the URL location, and a capability description document that describes the capability.
11. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the network capability is explicitly included in discovery responses.
12. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein discovering the sink comprises the NBMP source making a request to the FLUS source.
13. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) status code is returned based on the creation of the NBMP workflow.
14. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the FLUS sink sends a request to the NBMP workflow manager to get the current platform capability.
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for establishing Network-Based Media Processing (NBMP) workflow through a 5G Framework for Live Uplink Streaming (FLUS) control, the computer program configured to cause one or more computer processors to:
discover a sink and a network capability of a network platform;
create an NBMP workflow through a control interface comprising a FLUS source and a FLUS sink; and
extend the 5G FLUS control to support tunneling information between an NBMP source and an NBMP workflow manager.
16. The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the network capability is described by an identifier and by a uniform resource locator (URL) location from which a description of the network capability can be retrieved.
17. The computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the description of the capability comprises an NBMP scheme identifier indicating that the NMBP workflow manager supports NBMP, the URL location, and a capability description document that describes the capability.
18. The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the network capability is explicitly included in discovery responses.
19. The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein discovering the sink comprises the NBMP source making a request to the FLUS source.
20. The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) status code is returned based on the creation of the NBMP workflow.
