Method, apparatus and system for sending and receiving a media stream

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus and a system for sending and receiving a media stream. In the embodiments of the present invention, during a transmission process of media content, if the packet loss occurs, and if retransmission still does not succeed after the retransmission has been attempted for finite times, the retransmission of the lost data packet is abandoned through notification of the retransmission suppression information, and transmission of a subsequent part of media stream is continued, which ensures uninterrupted transmission of the media stream, and avoids the occurrence of a screen mess of a picture, a picture jitter or pause, and even a program interrupt, thereby improving picture quality.

主权项

1. A method for receiving a media stream, comprising:
detecting, during a process of receiving the media stream sent by a sending end, a data packet loss; requesting, in response to the detecting, retransmission of a lost data packet from the sending end; and sending, if the lost data packet is not successfully received within a set retransmission threshold, a counterfeit acknowledgement message to the sending end, wherein the counterfeit acknowledgement message implements implicit retransmission suppression by falsely providing an indication to the sending end that the lost data packet is already successfully received so that the sending end stops retransmitting the lost data packet and sends a next data packet after the lost data packet in the media stream.
