TRANSMISSION METHOD, RECEPTION METHOD, TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, AND RECEPTION APPARATUS

摘要

A transmission method for transmitting a plurality of transmission packets in a state in which requirements according to a predetermined reception buffer model for ensuring a buffer operation of a reception apparatus are met. The transmission packets include variable-length packet headers and variable-length payloads. The reception buffer model includes a buffer that receives the transmission packets, converts a first packet which is stored in the received transmission packets and which includes a variable-length packet header and a variable-length payload into a second packet having a fixed-length packet header obtained by performing header extension, and outputs at a predetermined drawing rate the second packet obtained by performing the conversion. The plurality of transmission packets are transmitted at a rate of a predetermined packet count or less per unit time (S2301).
