   RTP Payload Format for Visual Volumetric Video-based Coding (V3C)
                     draft-ilola-avtcore-rtp-v3c-02

Abstract

   This memo describes an RTP payload format for visual volumetric
   video-based coding (V3C) [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  A V3C bitstream is
   composed of V3C units that contain V3C video sub-bitstreams, V3C
   atlas sub-bitstreams, or a V3C parameter set.  The RTP payload format
   for V3C video sub-bitstreams is defined by appropriate Internet
   Standards for the applicable video codec.  The RTP payload format for
   V3C atlas sub-bitstreams is described by this memo.  The RTP payload
   format allows for packetization of one or more V3C Network
   Abstraction Layer (NAL) units in a RTP packet payload as well as
   fragmentation of a V3C NAL unit into multiple RTP packets.  The memo
   also describes the mechanisms for grouping RTP streams of V3C
   component sub-bitstreams, providing a complete solution for streaming
   V3C bitstream.

1.  Introduction

   Volumetric video, similar to traditional 2D video, when uncompressed,
   is represented by a large amount of data.  The Visual Volumetric
   Video-based Coding (V3C) specification [ISO.IEC.23090-5] leverages
   the compression efficiency of existing 2D video codecs to reduce the
   amount of data needed for storage and transmission of volumetric
   video.

   V3C encoder converts volumetric frames, 3D volumetric information,
   into a collection of 2D images and associated data, known as atlas
   data.  The converted 2D images are subsequently coded using existing
   video or image codecs, e.g.  ISO/IEC International Standard 14496-10
   [ISO.IEC.14496-10], ISO/IEC International Standard 23008-2
   [ISO.IEC.23008-2] or ISO/IEC International Standard 23090-3
   [ISO.IEC.23090-3].  The atlas data is coded with mechanisms specified
   in [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  V3C is generic mechanism for volumetric video
   coding and it can be used by applications targeting volumetric
   content, such as point clouds, immersive video with depth, mesh
   representations of visual volumetric frames, etc.  Examples of such
   applications are Video-based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC)
   [ISO.IEC.23090-5], and MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) [ISO.IEC.23090-12].

   V3C utilizes high level syntax (HLS) syntax design known from
   traditional 2D video codecs to represent the associated coded data,
   i.e. atlas data.  The atlas data is represented by Network
   Abstraction Layer (NAL) units.  Consequently, RTP payload format for
   V3C atlas data described in this memo shares design philosophy,
   security, congestion control, and overall implementation complexity
   with other the NAL unit-based RTP payload formats such as the ones
   defined in [RFC6184], [RFC6190], and [RFC7798].

4.1.  Overview of the V3C codec

   ISO/IEC International Standards 23090-5 [ISO.IEC.23090-5] enables
   encoding and decoding processes of volumetric video which utilizes 2D
   video coding technologies and associated data.  V3C encoding of
   volumetric frame is achieved through a conversion of volumetric frame
   from its 3D representation to multiple 2D representations and a
   generation of associated data.

   2D representations, known as V3C video components, of volumetric
   frame are encoded using traditional 2D video codecs.  V3C video
   component may, for example, include occupancy, geometry, or attribute
   data.  The occupancy data informs a V3C decoder which pixels in other
   V3C video components contribute to reconstructed 3D representation.
   The geometry data describes information on the position of the
   reconstructed voxels, while attribute data provides properties of
   that voxel, e.g. color or material information.

   Atlas data, known as V3C atlas component, provides information to
   interpret V3C video components and enables the reconstruction from a
   2D representation back into a 3D representation of volumetric frame.
   Atlas data is composed of a collection of patches.  Each patch
   identifies a region in all V3C video components and provides
   information necessary to perform the appropriate inverse projection
   of the indicated region back into 3D space.  The shape of the patch
   region is determined by a 2D bounding box associated with each patch
   as well as their coding order.  The shape of these patches is also
   further refined based on occupancy data.

   To enable parallelization, random access, as well as a variety of
   other functionalities, an atlas frame can be divided into one or more
   rectangular partitions referred to as tiles.  Tiles are not allowed
   to overlap and SHOULD be independently decodeable.  An atlas frame
   may contain regions that are not associated with any tile or patch.

   The binary form of V3C video components, i.e. video bitstream, and
   V3C atlas components, i.e. V3C atlas bitstream, can be grouped and
   represented by a single V3C bitstream.  The V3C bitstream is composed
   of a set of V3C units.  Each V3C unit has a V3C unit header and a V3C
   unit payload.  The V3C unit header describes the V3C unit type for
   the payload.  V3C unit payload contains V3C video components, V3C
   atlas components or V3C parameter set.  V3C video component, i.e.
   occupancy, geometry, and attribute, corresponds to video data units
   (e.g.  NAL units defined in [ISO.IEC.23008-2]) that could be decoded
   by an appropriate video decoder.

4.2.  V3C parameter set

   While this memo intends to describe encapsulation of V3C atlas data,
   aspects related to signaling of V3C parameter set need to be
   considered.  V3C parameter set is signaled in its own V3C unit, which
   allows decoupling the transmission of V3C parameter set from the V3C
   video and atlas components.  V3C parameter set can be transmitted by
   external means (e.g., as a result of the capability exchange) or
   through a (reliable or unreliable) control protocol.  This memo
   provides information how V3C parameter set can be signaled as part of
   session description protocol, see Section 10.

4.3.  V3C atlas and video components

4.3.1.  General

   In V3C bitstream the atlas component is identified by vuh_unit_type
   equal to V3C_AD, or V3C_CAD in case of common atlas data, in the V3C
   unit header.  The V3C atlas component consists of atlas NAL units
   that define header and payload pairs and are described in
   Section 4.3.2.  V3C video components are identified by vuh_unit_type
   equal to V3C_OVD, V3C_GVD, V3C_AVD, and V3C_PVD.  V3C video
   components can be further separated by other values in the V3C unit
   header such as vuh_attribute_index, vuh_attribute_partition_index,
   vuh_map_index and vuh_auxiliary_video_flag.  By mapping V3C parameter
   set information to vuh_attribute_index, a V3C decoder identifies
   which attribute a given V3C video component contains, e.g. color.

   The information supplied by V3C unit header SHOULD be provided in one
   form or another to a V3C decoder, e.g. as part of SDP as described in
   this memo in Section 10.  The four-byte V3C unit header syntax and
   semantics are copied below as defined in [ISO.IEC.23090-5].

     } else {
       bit(27) vuh_reserved_zero_27bits;
     }
   }

   specified in [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  As a convenience, the mapping table
   from vuh_unit_type values to semantics is copied below in Table 1.

4.3.2.  Atlas NAL units

   Atlas NAL unit (nal_unit(NumBytesInNalUnit)) is a byte-aligned syntax
   structure defined by [ISO.IEC.23090-5] to carry atlas data. atlas NAL
   unit always contains a 16-bit NAL unit header (nal_unit_header()),
   which indicates among other things the type of the NAL unit
   (nal_unit_type).  The sample code below describes the NAL unit
   syntax, including the NAL unit header.

   nal_unit_header(){
       bit(1) nal_forbidden_zero_bit;
       bit(6) nal_unit_type;
       bit(6) nal_layer_id;
       bit(3) nal_temporal_id_plus1;
   }
   nal_unit(NumBytesInNalUnit){
       nal_unit_header();
       NumBytesInRbsp = 0;
       for( i = 2; i < NumBytesInNalUnit; i++ )
         bit(8) rbsp_byte[ NumBytesInRbsp++ ];
   }

   nal_forbidden_zero_bit MUST be equal to 0.  (F)

   nal_unit_type indicates the type of the RBSP data structure contained
   in the NAL unit (NUT)

   nal_layer_id indicates the identifier of the layer to which an ACL
   NAL unit belongs or the identifier of a layer to which a non-ACL NAL
   unit applies.  (NLI)

   nal_temporal_id_plus1 minus 1 indicates a temporal identifier for the
   NAL unit.  The value of nal_temporal_id_plus1 MUST NOT be equal to 0.

4.4.  Systems and transport interfaces

   In addition to releasing specifications on V3C [ISO.IEC.23090-5] and
   [ISO.IEC.23090-12], MPEG is conducting further systems level work on
   file format level to encapsulate compressed V3C content.  The seventh
   edition of the ISOBMFF specification [ISO.IEC.14496-12] introduces a
   new media handler 'volv', intended to support volumetric visual
   media.  It also specifies other structures to enable development of
   derived specifications detailing how various volumetric visual media
   may be stored in ISOBMFF.

   One of such derived specifications is [ISO.IEC.23090-10], which
   focuses on defining how V3C content SHOULD be stored in a file and
   streamed over DASH.  To a large extent ISO/IEC 23090-10 focuses on
   describing how ISOBMFF boxes and syntax elements may be used to store
   volumetric media, but in some cases new boxes and syntax elements are
   introduced to accommodate the fundamentally different type of new
   media.  While the specification is not directly relevant for defining
   RTP payload format for V3C atlas data, it is a useful resource that
   SHOULD be considered especially when desiging ingestion of encoded
   V3C content into RTP streaming pipelines.

5.  V3C Atlas RTP payload format

5.1.  General

   This section describes details related to V3C atlas RTP payload
   defintions.  Aspects related to RTP header, RTP payload header and
   general payload structure are considered along with different
   packetization modes.

5.2.  RTP Header

   The format of the RTP header is specified in [RFC3550] and replicated
   below in Figure 1 for convenience.  This payload format uses the
   fields of the header in a manner consistent with that specification.

                            Figure 1: RTP Header

   The RTP header information to be set according to this RTP payload
   format is set as follows:

   Marker bit (M): 1 bit

   Set for the last packet of the access unit, carried in the current
   RTP stream.  This is in line with the normal use of the M bit in
   video formats to allow an efficient playout buffer handling.

   When MRST or MRMT is in use, if an access unit appears in multiple
   RTP streams, the marker bit is set on each RTP stream's last packet
   of the access unit.

   Payload Type (PT): 7 bits

   The assignment of an RTP payload type for this new packet format is
   outside the scope of this document and will not be specified here.
   The assignment of a payload type has to be performed either through
   the profile used or in a dynamic way.

   NOTE: (informative) It is not required to use different payload type
   values for different RTP streams in MRST or MRMT.

   Sequence Number (SN): 16 bits

   Set and used in accordance with [RFC3550]

   Timestamp (32 bits):

   The RTP timestamp is set to the sampling timestamp of the content.  A
   90 kHz clock rate MUST be used.

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


   If the NAL unit has no timing properties of its own (e.g., parameter
   set and SEI NAL units), the RTP timestamp MUST be set to the RTP
   timestamp of the coded picture of the access unit in which case the
   NAL unit (according to Section 8.4.5.3 of [ISO.IEC.23090-5]) is
   included.

   Receivers MUST use the RTP timestamp for the display process, even
   when the bitstream contains atlas frame timing SEI messages as
   specified in [ISO.IEC.23090-5].

   Synchronization source (SSRC): 32 bits

   Used to identify the source of the RTP packets.

   When using SRST, by definition a single SSRC is used for all parts of
   a single bitstream.  In MRST or MRMT, different SSRCs are used for
   each RTP stream containing a subset of the sub-layers of the single
   (temporally scalable) bitstream.  A receiver is required to correctly
   associate the set of SSRCs that are included parts of the same
   bitstream.

   The remaining RTP header fields are used as specified in [RFC3550].

5.3.  RTP payload header

   The first two bytes of the payload of an RTP packet are referred to
   as the payload header.  The payload header consists of the same
   fields (F, NUT, NLI, and TID) as the NAL unit header as shown in
   Section 4.3.2, irrespective of the type of the payload structure.
   For convenience the structure of RTP payload header is described
   below in Figure 2.

       0                   1

   F: nal_forbidden_zero_bit as specified in [ISO.IEC.23090-5] MUST be
   equal to 0.

   NUT: nal_unit_type as specified in [ISO.IEC.23090-5] defines the type
   of the RBSP data structure contained in the NAL unit.  NUT value
   could carry other meaning depending on the RTP packet type.

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


   NLI: nal_layer_id as specified in [ISO.IEC.23090-5] defines the
   identifier of the layer to which an ACL NAL unit belongs or the
   identifier of a layer to which a non-ACL NAL unit applies.

   TID: nal_temporal_id_plus1 minus 1 as specified in [ISO.IEC.23090-5]
   defines a temporal identifier for the NAL unit.  The value of
   nal_temporal_id_plus1 MUST NOT be equal to 0.

5.4.  Transmission modes

   This memo enables transmission of an V3C atlas bitstream over:

   *  a Single RTP stream on a Single media Transport (SRST),

   *  Multiple RTP streams over a Single media Transport (MRST), or

   *  Multiple RTP streams on Multiple media Transports (MRMT).

   When in MRST or MRMT, multiple RTP streams may be grouped together as
   specified in [RFC5888] and [RFC9143].

   SRST or MRST SHOULD be used for point-to-point unicast scenarios,
   whereas MRMT SHOULD be used for point-to-multipoint multicast
   scenarios where different receivers require different operation
   points of the same V3C atlas bitstream, to improve bandwidth
   utilizing efficiency.

   NOTE: A multicast may degrade to a unicast at some point when only
   one receiver has left.  This is a justification of the first "SHOULD"
   instead of "MUST".  There might be scenarios where MRMT is desirable
   but not possible, e.g., when IP multicast is not deployed in certain
   network.  This is a justification of the second "SHOULD" instead of
   "MUST".

   The transmission mode is indicated by the tx-mode media parameter.
   If tx-mode is equal to "SRST", SRST MUST be used.  Otherwise, if tx-
   mode is equal to "MRST", MRST MUST be used.  Otherwise (tx-mode is
   equal to "MRMT"), MRMT MUST be used.

   NOTE: (informative) When an RTP stream does not depend on other RTP
   streams, any of SRST, MRST, or MRMT may be in use for the RTP stream.

   Receivers MUST support all of SRST, MRST, and MRMT.  The required
   support of MRMT by receivers does not imply that multicast must be
   supported by receivers.

5.5.  Payload structures

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


5.5.1.  General

   Three different types of RTP packet payload structures are specified.
   A receiver can identify the payload structure by the first two bytes
   of the RTP packet payload, which co-serves as the RTP payload header.
   These two bytes are always structured as a NAL unit header.  The NAL
   unit type field indicates which structure is present in the payload.

   The three different payload structures are as follows:

   *  Single NAL Unit Packet: Contains a single NAL unit in the payload.
      This payload structure is specified in Section 5.5.2.

   *  Aggregation Packet: Contains multiple NAL units in a single RTP
      payload.  This payload structure is specified in Section 5.5.3.

   *  Fragmentation Unit: Contains a subset of a single NAL unit.  This
      payload structure is specified in Section 5.5.4.

   NOTE: (informative) This specification does not limit the size of NAL
   units encapsulated in NAL unit packets and fragmentation units.
   [ISO.IEC.23090-5] does not restrict the maximum size of a NAL unit
   directly either.  Instead a NAL unit sample stream format may be
   used, which provides flexibility to signal NAL unit size up to
   UINT64_MAX bytes.

5.5.2.  Single NAL unit packet

   Single NAL unit packet contains exactly one NAL unit, and consists of
   a RTP payload header and following conditional fields: 16-bit DONL
   and 16-bit v3c-tile-id.  The rest of the payload data contain the NAL
   unit payload data (excluding the NAL unit header).  Single NAL unit
   packet may contain atlas NAL units of the types defined in Table 4 of
   [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  The structure of the single NAL unit packet is
   shown below in Figure 3.

                      Figure 3: Single NAL unit packet

   RTP payload header SHOULD be an exact copy of the NAL unit header of
   the contained NAL unit.

   A NAL unit stream composed by de-packetizing single NAL unit packets
   in RTP sequence number order MUST conform to the NAL unit decoding
   order, when DONL is not present.

   The DONL field, when present, specifies the value of the 16-bit
   decoding order number of the contained NAL unit.  If sprop-max-don-
   diff is greater than 0 for any of the RTP streams, the DONL field
   MUST be present, and the variable DONL for the contained NAL unit is
   derived as equal to the value of the DONL field.  Otherwise (sprop-
   max-don-diff is equal to 0 for all the RTP streams), the DONL field
   MUST NOT be present.

   The v3c-tile-id field, when present, specifies the 16-bit tile
   identifier for the NAL unit, as signaled in V3C atlas tile header
   defied in [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  If v3c-tile-id-pres is equal to 1 and
   RTP payload header NUT is in range 0-35, inclusive, the v3c-tile-id
   field MUST be present.  Otherwise, the v3c-tile-id field MUST NOT be
   present.

   NOTE: (informative) Only values for NAL unit type (NUT) in range
   0-35, inclusive, are allocated for atlas tile layer data, defined in
   [ISO.IEC.23090-5], which means that NAL unit types outside of the
   range are not specific to atlas tiles and SHOULD NOT contain v3c-
   tile-ids.

5.5.3.  Aggregation packet

   Aggregation Packets (APs) enable the reduction of packetization
   overhead for small NAL units, such as most of the non-ACL NAL units,
   which are often only a few octets in size.

   Aggregation packets may wrap multiple NAL units belonging to the same
   access unit in a single RTP payload.  The first two bytes of the AP
   MUST contain RTP payload header.  The NAL unit type (NUT) for the NAL
   unit header contained in the RTP payload header MUST be equal to 56,
   which falls in the unspecified range of the NAL unit types defined in
   [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  AP may contain a conditional v3c-tile-id field.
   AP MUST contain two or more aggregation units.  The structure of AP
   is shown in Figure 4.

                     Figure 4: Aggregation Packet (AP)

   The fields in the payload header are set as follows.  The F bit MUST
   be equal to 0 if the F bit of each aggregated NAL unit is equal to
   zero; otherwise, it MUST be equal to 1.  The NUT field MUST be equal
   to 56.  The value of NLI MUST be equal to the lowest value of NLI of
   all the aggregated NAL units.  The value of TID MUST be the lowest
   value of TID of all the aggregated NAL units.

   All ACL NAL units in an aggregation packet have the same TID value
   since they belong to the same access unit.  However, the packet may
   contain non-ACL NAL units for which the TID value in the NAL unit
   header may be different than the TID value of the ACL NAL units in
   the same AP.

   The v3c-tile-id field, when present, specifies the 16-bit tile
   identifier for all ACL NAL units in the AP.  If v3c-tile-id-pres is
   equal to 1, the v3c-tile-id field MUST be present.  Otherwise, the
   v3c-tile-id field MUST NOT be present.

   AP MUST carry at least two aggregation units (AU) and can carry as
   many aggregation units as necessary.  However, the total amount of
   data in an AP MUST fit into an IP packet, and the size SHOULD be
   chosen so that the resulting IP packet is smaller than the MTU size
   so to avoid IP layer fragmentation.  The structure of the AU depends
   both on the presence of the decoding order number, the sequence order
   of the AU in the AP and the presence of v3c-tile-id field.  The
   structure of an AU is shown in Figure 5.

                      Figure 5: Aggregation Unit (AU)

   If sprop-max-don-diff is greater than 0 for any of the RTP streams,
   an AU begins with the DOND / DONL field.  The first AU in the AP
   contains DONL field, which specifies the 16-bit value of the decoding
   order number of the aggregated NAL unit.  The variable DON for the
   aggregated NAL unit is derived as equal to the value of the DONL
   field.  All subsequent AUs in the AP MUST contain an (8-bit) DOND
   field, which specifies the difference between the decoding order
   number values of the current aggregated NAL unit and the preceding
   aggregated NAL unit in the same AP.  The variable DON for the
   aggregated NAL unit is derived as equal to the DON of the preceding
   aggregated NAL unit in the same AP plus the value of the DOND field
   plus 1 modulo 65536.

   When sprop-max-don-diff is equal to 0 for all the RTP streams, DOND /
   DONL fields MUST NOT be present in an aggregation unit.  The
   aggregation units MUST be stored in the aggregation packet so that
   the decoding order of the containing NAL units is preserved.  This
   means that the first aggregation unit in the aggregation packet
   SHOULD contain the NAL unit that SHOULD be decoded first.

   If v3c-tile-id-pres is equal to 2 and the AU NAL unit header type is
   in range 0-35, inclusive, the 16-bit v3c-tile-id field MUST be
   present in the aggregation unit after the conditional DOND/DONL
   field.  Otherwise v3c-tile-id field MUST NOT be present in the
   aggregation unit.

   The conditional fields of the aggregation unit are followed by a
   16-bit NALU size field, which provides the size of the NAL unit (in
   bytes) in the aggregation unit.  The remainder of the data in the
   aggregation unit SHOULD contain the NAL unit (including the
   unmodified NAL unit header).

5.5.4.  Fragmentation unit

   Fragmentation Units (FUs) are introduced to enable fragmenting a
   single NAL unit into multiple RTP packets, possibly without co-
   operation or knowledge of the encoder.  A fragment of a NAL unit
   consists of an integer number of consecutive octets of that NAL unit.
   Fragments of the same NAL unit MUST be sent in consecutive order with
   ascending RTP sequence numbers (with no other RTP packets within the
   same RTP stream being sent between the first and last fragment.

   When a NAL unit is fragmented and conveyed within FUs, it is referred
   to as a fragmented NAL unit.  Aggregation packets MUST NOT be
   fragmented.  FUs MUST NOT be nested; i.e., an FU MUST NOT contain a
   subset of another FU.  The RTP header timestamp of an RTP packet
   carrying an FU is set to the NALU-time of the fragmented NAL unit.

   A FU consists of a RTP payload header with NUT equal to 58, an 8-bit
   FU header, a conditional 16-bit DONL field, a conditional 16-bit v3c-
   tile-id field and an FU payload.  The structure of an FU is
   illustrated below in Figure 6.

   The fields in the RTP payload header are set as follows.  The NUT
   field MUST be equal to 58.  The rest of the fields MUST be equal to
   the fragmented NAL unit.

   The FU header consists of an S bit, an E bit, and a 6-bit FUT field.
   The structure of FU header is illustrated below in Figure 7.

      |0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|

      +-+-+-----------+

                    Figure 7: Fragmentation unit header

   When set to 1, the S bit indicates the start of a fragmented NAL
   unit, i.e., the first byte of the FU payload is also the first byte
   of the payload of the fragmented NAL unit.  When the FU payload is
   not the start of the fragmented NAL unit payload, the S bit MUST be
   set to 0.

   When set to 1, the E bit indicates the end of a fragmented NAL unit,
   i.e., the last byte of the payload is also the last byte of the
   fragmented NAL unit.  When the FU payload is not the last fragment of
   a fragmented NAL unit, the E bit MUST be set to 0.

   The field FUT MUST be equal to the nal_unit_type field of the
   fragmented NAL unit.

   A non-fragmented NAL unit MUST NOT be transmitted in one FU; i.e.,
   the Start bit and End bit MUST NOT both be set to 1 in the same FU
   header.

   The DONL field, when present, specifies the value of the 16-bit
   decoding order number of the fragmented NAL unit.  If sprop-max-don-
   diff is greater than 0 for any of the RTP streams, and the S bit is
   equal to 1, the DONL field MUST be present in the FU, and the
   variable DON for the fragmented NAL unit is derived as equal to the
   value of the DONL field.  Otherwise (sprop-max-don-diff is equal to 0
   for all the RTP streams, or the S bit is equal to 0), the DONL field
   MUST NOT be present in the FU.

   The v3c-tile-id field, when present, specifies the 16-bit tile
   identifier for the fragmented NAL unit.  If v3c-tile-id-pres is equal
   to 1, FUT is in range 0-35, and the S bit is equal to 1, the v3c-
   tile-id field MUST be present after the conditional DONL field.
   Otherwise, the v3c-tile-id field MUST NOT be present.

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


   The FU payload consists of fragments of the payload of the fragmented
   NAL unit so that if the FU payloads of consecutive FUs, starting with
   an FU with the S bit equal to 1 and ending with an FU with the E bit
   equal to 1, are sequentially concatenated, the payload of the
   fragmented NAL unit can be reconstructed.

   The NAL unit header of the fragmented NAL unit is not included as
   such in the FU payload, but rather the information of the NAL unit
   header of the fragmented NAL unit is conveyed in F, NLI, and TID
   fields of the RTP payload headers of the FUs and the FUT field of the
   FU header.  An FU payload MUST NOT be empty.

   If an FU is lost, the receiver SHOULD discard all following
   fragmentation units in transmission order corresponding to the same
   fragmented NAL unit, unless the decoder in the receiver is known to
   be prepared to gracefully handle incomplete NAL units.

5.6.  Decoding Order Number

   For each atlas NAL unit, the variable AbsDon is derived, representing
   the decoding order number that is indicative of the NAL unit decoding
   order.  Let NAL unit n be the n-th NAL unit in transmission order
   within an RTP stream.

   If sprop-max-don-diff is equal to 0 for all the RTP streams carrying
   the V3C atlas bitstream, AbsDon[n], the value of AbsDon for NAL unit
   n, is derived as equal to n.

   Otherwise (sprop-max-don-diff is greater than 0 for any of the RTP
   streams), AbsDon[n] is derived as follows, where DON[n] is the value
   of the variable DON for NAL unit n:

   *  If n is equal to 0 (i.e., NAL unit n is the very first NAL unit in
      transmission order), AbsDon[0] is set equal to DON[0].

   *  Otherwise (n is greater than 0), the following applies for
      derivation of AbsDon[n]:

      -  If DON[n] == DON[n-1], AbsDon[n] = AbsDon[n-1]

      -  If (DON[n] > DON[n-1] and DON[n] - DON[n-1] < 32768), AbsDon[n]
         = AbsDon[n-1] + DON[n] - DON[n-1]

      -  If (DON[n] < DON[n-1] and DON[n-1] - DON[n] >= 32768),
         AbsDon[n] = AbsDon[n-1] + 65536 - DON[n-1] + DON[n]

      -  If (DON[n] > DON[n-1] and DON[n] - DON[n-1] >= 32768),
         AbsDon[n] = AbsDon[n-1] - (DON[n-1] + 65536 - DON[n])

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


      -  If (DON[n] < DON[n-1] and DON[n-1] - DON[n] < 32768), AbsDon[n]
         = AbsDon[n-1] - (DON[n-1] - DON[n])

   For any two NAL units m and n, the following applies:

   *  AbsDon[n] greater than AbsDon[m] indicates that NAL unit n follows
      NAL unit m in NAL unit decoding order.

   *  When AbsDon[n] is equal to AbsDon[m], the NAL unit decoding order
      of the two NAL units can be in either order.

   *  AbsDon[n] less than AbsDon[m] indicates that NAL unit n precedes
      NAL unit m in decoding order.

6.  Packetization and de-packetization rules

   The following packetization rules apply:

   *  If sprop-max-don-diff is greater than 0 for any of the RTP
      streams, the transmission order of NAL units carried in the RTP
      stream MAY be different than the NAL unit decoding order and the
      NAL unit output order.  Otherwise (sprop-max-don-diff is equal to
      0 for all the RTP streams), the transmission order of NAL units
      carried in the RTP stream MUST be the same as the NAL unit
      decoding order and, when tx-mode is equal to "MRST" or "MRMT",
      MUST also be the same as the NAL unit output order.

   *  A NAL unit of a small size SHOULD be encapsulated in an
      aggregation packet together with one or more other NAL units in
      order to avoid the unnecessary packetization overhead for small
      NAL units.  For example, non-ACL NAL units such as access unit
      delimiters, parameter sets, or SEI NAL units are typically small
      and can often be aggregated with ACL NAL units without violating
      MTU size constraints.

   *  Each non-ACL NAL unit SHOULD, when possible from an MTU size
      perspective, be encapsulated in an aggregation packet together
      with its associated ACL NAL unit, as typically a non-ACL NAL unit
      would be meaningless without the associated ACL NAL unit being
      available.

   *  For carrying exactly one NAL unit in an RTP packet, a single NAL
      unit packet MUST be used

   The general concept behind de-packetization is to get the NAL units
   out of the RTP packets in an RTP stream and all RTP streams the RTP
   stream depends on, if any, and pass them to the decoder in the NAL
   unit decoding order.

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


   The de-packetization process is implementation dependent.  Therefore,
   the following de-packetization rules SHOULD be taken as an example.

   *  All normal RTP mechanisms related to buffer management apply.  In
      particular, duplicated or outdated RTP packets (as indicated by
      the RTP sequences number and the RTP timestamp) are removed.  To
      determine the exact time for decoding, factors such as a possible
      intentional delay to allow for proper inter-stream synchronization
      must be factored in.

   *  NAL units with NAL unit type values in the range of 0 to 55,
      inclusive, may be passed to the decoder.  NAL-unit-like structures
      with NAL unit type values in the range of 55 to 63, inclusive,
      MUST NOT be passed to the decoder.

   *  When sprop-max-don-diff is equal to 0 for the received RTP stream,
      the NAL units carried in the RTP stream may be directly passed to
      the decoder in their transmission order, which is identical to
      their decoding order.

   *  When sprop-max-don-diff is greater than 0 for any of the received
      RTP streams, the received NAL units need to be arranged into
      decoding order before handing them over to the decoder.

   *  For further de-packetization examples, the reader is referred to
      Section 6 of [RFC7798].

8.  Payload Format Parameters

   This section specifies the parameters that MAY be used to select
   optional features of the payload format and certain features or
   properties of the bitstream or the RTP stream.  The parameters are
   specified here as part of the media type registration for the V3C
   codec.  A mapping of the parameters into the Session Description
   Protocol (SDP) [RFC8866] is also provided for applications that use
   SDP.  Equivalent parameters could be defined elsewhere for use with
   control protocols that do not use SDP.

8.1.  Media Type Definition

   Type name: application

   Subtype name: v3c

   Optional parameters: v3c-unit-header, v3c-unit-type, v3c-vps-id, v3c-

   video-flag, v3c-parameter-set, v3c-tile-id, v3c-tile-id-pres, v3c-
   atlas-data, v3c-common-atlas-data, v3c-sei, v3c-ptl-level-idc, v3c-
   ptl-tier-flag, v3c-ptl-codec-idc, v3c-ptl-toolset-idc, v3c-ptl-rec-
   idc, tx-mode and sprop-max-don-diff.

       v3c-unit-header:

   provides a V3C unit header bytes defined in [ISO.IEC.23090-5].  The
   value contains base16 [RFC4648] (hexadecimal) representation of the 4
   bytes of V3C unit header.

       v3c-unit-type:

   v3c-unit-type provides a V3C unit type value corresponding to
   vuh_unit_type defined in [ISO.IEC.23090-5], i.e. defines V3C sub-
   bitstream type.

       v3c-vps-id:

9.  Congestion Control Considerations

   This section is to describe the possibility to vary the bitrate as a
   response to congestion.  Below is also a proposal for an initial text
   that reference RTP and profiles definition of congestion control.

   Congestion control for RTP SHALL be used in accordance with
   [RFC3550], and with any applicable RTP profile: e.g., [RFC3551].  An
   additional requirement if best-effort service is being used is users
   of this payload format MUST monitor packet loss to ensure that the
   packet loss rate is within acceptable parameters.

   Circuit Breakers [RFC8083] is an update to RTP [RFC3550] that defines
   criteria for when one is required to stop sending RTP Packet Streams.
   The circuit breakers is to be implemented and followed.

10.  Session Description Protocol

   The mapping of above defined payload format media type is mapped to
   fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP) according to
   [RFC8866].

10.1.  Mapping of payload type parameters to SDP

10.1.1.  For V3C atlas components

   *  The media name in the "m=" line of SDP MUST be application.

   *  The encoding name in the "a=rtpmap" line of SDP must be v3c

   *  The clock rate in the "a=rtpmap" line MUST be 90000.

   *  The OPTIONAL parameters v3c-unit-header, v3c-unit-type, v3c-vps-
      id, v3c-atlas-id, v3c-attr-idx, v3c-attr-part-idx, v3c-map-idx,
      v3c-aux-video-flag, sprop-max-don-diff, v3c-parameter-set, v3c-
      atlas-data, v3c-common-atlas-data, v3c-sei, v3c-tile-id, v3c-tile-
      id-pres, v3c-ptl-level-idc, v3c-ptl-tier-flag, v3c-ptl-codec-idc,
      v3c-ptl-toolset-idc, v3c-ptl-rec-idc, when present, MUST be
      included in the "a=fmtp" line of SDP.  This parameter is expressed
      as a media type string, in the form of a semicolon-separated list
      of parameter=value pairs.

   An example of media representation in SDP is as follows:

       m=application 49170 RTP/AVP 98
       a=rtpmap:98 v3c/90000
       a=fmtp:98 v3c-unit-header=08000000; // V3C_AD
                 v3c-ptl-tier-flag=1

10.1.2.  For V3C video components

   *  The media name in the "m=" line of SDP MUST be video.

   *  The encoding name in the "a=rtpmap" line of SDP can be any video
      subtype, e.g. avc, hevc, vvc etc.

   *  The clock rate in the "a=rtpmap" line MUST be 90000.

   *  The OPTIONAL parameters v3c-unit-header, v3c-unit-type, v3c-vps-
      id, v3c-atlas-id, v3c-attr-idx, v3c-attr-part-idx, v3c-map-idx,
      v3c-aux-video-flag, sprop-max-don-diff, v3c-parameter-set, v3c-
      atlas-data, v3c-common-atlas-data, v3c-sei, v3c-tile-id, v3c-tile-
      id-pres, v3c-ptl-level-idc, v3c-ptl-tier-flag, v3c-ptl-codec-idc,
      v3c-ptl-toolset-idc, v3c-ptl-rec-idc, when present, MUST be
      included in the "a=fmtp" line of SDP.  This parameter is expressed
      as a media type string, in the form of a semicolon-separated list
      of parameter=value pairs.

   *  The OPTIONAL parameters may include any optional parameters from
      the respective video payload specifications.

   An example of media representation corresponding to occupancy
   component in SDP is as follows:

       m=video 49170 RTP/AVP 99
       a=rtpmap:99 H265/90000
       a=fmtp:99 sprop-max-don-diff=0;
                 v3c-unit-header=10000000

   When v3c-unit-header or v3c-unit-type indicate V3C unit type V3C_PVD,
   v3c-parameter-set, v3c-atlas-data or v3c-common-atlas-data may be
   signaled along the video stream.  When v3c-parameter-set, v3c-atlas-
   data or v3c-common-atlas-data are present it indicates that the
   provided data is static for the whole duration of the stream.

   When v3c-parameter-set, v3c-atlas-data or v3c-common-atlas-data are
   signaled along the video stream it is expected the respective v3c-
   parameter-set, v3c-atlas-data or v3c-common-atlas-data remain static
   for the duration of the stream.

   An example of media representation in SDP is as follows:

       m=video 49170 RTP/AVP 99
       a=rtpmap:99 H265/90000
       a=fmtp:99 v3c-unit-header=28000000;
                 v3c-parameter-set=F6F0093992;
                 v3c-atlas-data=ABCA,5D5A,68

10.2.  Grouping Framework

   Different V3C components can be represented by their own respective
   RTP streams.  A grouping tool, as defined in [RFC5888], may be
   extended to support V3C grouping.

   Group attribute with V3C type is provided to allow application to
   identifity "m" lines that belong to the same V3C bitstream.  Grouping
   type V3C MUST be used with the group attribute.  The tokens that
   follow are mapped to 'mid'-values of individual media lines in the
   SDP.

       a=group:V3C <tokens> <v3c specific session-level parameters>

   The V3C grouping type attribute related v3c-specific session level
   parameters can include the following optional information:

       v3c-parameter-set=<value>
       v3c-atlas-data=<value>
       v3c-common-atlas-data=<value>
       v3c-sei=<value>

   When signaled as a session level parameter, the data is considered to
   be static for the duration of the stream.

   The following example shows an SDP including four media lines, three
   describing V3C video components and one V3C atlas component.  All the
   media lines are grouped under one V3C group which provides the V3C
   parameter set.

10.4.  Declarative SDP Considerations

12.  Security Considerations

   RTP packets using the payload format defined in this specification
   are subject to the security considerations discussed in the RTP
   specification [RFC3550], and in any applicable RTP profile such as
   RTP/AVP [RFC3551], RTP/AVPF [RFC4585], RTP/SAVP [RFC3711], or RTP/
   SAVPF [RFC5124].  However, as "Securing the RTP Protocol Framework:
   Why RTP Does Not Mandate a Single Media Security Solution" [RFC7202]
   discusses, it is not an RTP payload format's responsibility to
   discuss or mandate what solutions are used to meet the basic security
   goals like confidentiality, integrity, and source authenticity for
   RTP in general.  This responsibility lays on anyone using RTP in an
   application.  They can find guidance on available security mechanisms
   and important considerations in "Options for Securing RTP Sessions"
   [RFC7201].  Applications SHOULD use one or more appropriate strong
   security mechanisms.  The rest of this Security Considerations
   section discusses the security impacting properties of the payload
   format itself.

Internet-Draft         RTP payload format for V3C              June 2022


   This RTP payload format and its media decoder do not exhibit any
   significant non-uniformity in the receiver-side computational
   complexity for packet processing, and thus are unlikely to pose a
   denial-of-service threat due to the receipt of pathological data.
   Nor does the RTP payload format contain any active content.
