对比5G SA与NSA在低延迟超高清直播中的表现,验证了SA的必要性。

Performance Evaluation of Low-Latency Live Streaming of MPEG-DASH UHD video over Commercial 5G NSA/SA Network

  • 在多种移动场景下测试MPEG-DASH超高清直播性能
  • 5G SA成功率超95%,而LTE失败率超20%
  • 适合5G视频传输、低延迟应用研发者参考

5G独立组网(SA)是5G演进的目标,旨在提供比现有LTE网络更高的吞吐量和更低的延迟。5G的主要应用之一是4K或8K分辨率的超高清内容实时分发。2021年第二季度,泰国最大运营商Advanced Info Service(AIS)推出5G SA服务,全国范围内同时提供5G SA/NSA及原有LTE网络。尽管全球多数地区仍处于非独立组网(NSA)初期部署阶段,泰国5G SA已覆盖超76%人口。本文通过MPEG-DASH在不同移动网络技术上进行超高清视频实时直播,以最小缓冲区实现最低延迟,并评估在静止、城市移动、高速移动及理想最大信干噪比(SINR)条件下的性能指标,包括丢包段数、MAC吞吐量和延迟。结果表明,在所有条件下,5G SA可成功交付超过95%的超高清视频片段,而5G NSA表现依赖于LTE网络状况,呈现不一致结果;相比之下,LTE网络在延迟内完成的视频片段不足20%,说明5G SA对低延迟超高清直播至关重要,而5G NSA因依赖传统控制信令,可能无法胜任此类任务。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

5G Standalone (SA) is the goal of the 5G evolution, which aims to provide higher throughput and lower latency than the existing LTE network. One of the main applications of 5G is the real-time distribution of Ultra High-Definition (UHD) content with a resolution of 4K or 8K. In Q2/2021, Advanced Info Service (AIS), the biggest operator in Thailand, launched 5G SA, providing both 5G SA/NSA service nationwide in addition to the existing LTE network. While many parts of the world are still in process of rolling out the first phase of 5G in Non-Standalone (NSA) mode, 5G SA in Thailand already covers more than 76% of the population. In this paper, UHD video will be a real-time live streaming via MPEG-DASH over different mobile network technologies with minimal buffer size to provide the lowest latency. Then, performance such as the number of dropped segments, MAC throughput, and latency are evaluated in various situations such as stationary, moving in the urban area, moving at high speed, and also an ideal condition with maximum SINR. It has been found that 5G SA can deliver more than 95% of the UHD video segment successfully within the required time window in all situations, while 5G NSA produced mixed results depending on the condition of the LTE network. The result also reveals that the LTE network failed to deliver more than 20% of the video segment within the deadline, which shows that 5G SA is absolutely necessary for low-latency UHD video streaming and 5G NSA may not be good enough for such task as it relies on the legacy control signal.
