Adaptive RESTful Real-time Live Streaming for Things (A-REaLiST)
draft-bhattacharyya-core-a-realist-01
Abstract
This draft presents extensions to Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) to
enable RESTful Real-time Live Streaming for improving the Quality of Experience
(QoE) for delay-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The overall
architecture is termed ''Adaptive RESTful Real-time Live Streaming for Things (A-
REaLiST)''. It is particularly designed for applications which rely on real-time
augmented vision through live First Person View (FPV) feed from constrained remote
agents like Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), etc. These extensions provide the
necessary hooks to help solution designers ensure low-latency transfer of streams
and, for contents like video, a quick recovery from freeze and corruption without
incurring undue lag. A-REaLiST is an attempt to provide an integrated approach to
maintain the balance amongst QoE, resource-efficiency and loss resilience. It
provides the necessary hooks to optimize system performance by leveraging
contextual intelligence inferred from instantaneous information segments in
flight. These extensions equip CoAP with a standard for efficient RESTful
streaming for Internet of Things (IoT) contrary to HTTP-streaming in conventional
Internet.

1. Introduction
IoT emerged to facilitate exchange of frequent-but-small sensory information
amongst numerous constrained sensors [IOT-ISOC][RFC7452]. However, recent trends
in industry and research community realize the importance of live visual data as
important sensory information. There are many discourses available to support this
observation [Murphy]. Live First Person View (FPV) from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAV) and dumb robot terminals are being used for futuristic remote control and
actuation applications for Augmented Reality (AR), Visual Simultaneous
Localization and Mapping (VSLAM), UAV based surveillance, etc. Efficacy of these
applications depends on resource-efficient, low-latency, yet high QoE transfer of
the FPV over the Internet (or IP networks in general). Contrary to the traditional
video streaming applications, the UAV-like end-points (henceforth referred as
'video producer') that capture and transmit the FPV are resource constrained
devices. Moreover, the producer may work in a lossy environment marred with
fluctuating radio connectivity and disruptions due network congestion.
The QoE considerations of the video rendering unit (henceforth referred as 'video
consumer') for these applications are quite different from traditional
applications. For example, in case of highly delay sensitive AR applications, a
human brain may not tolerate a noticeable video freeze or delayed reception, which
might have been overlooked for usual content delivery service like a YouTube
video. Such delay may result in wrong actuation. For example, delayed FPV from a
UAV may lead to wrong control commands leading to catastrophic consequences. In
addition, the communication should be as light-weight as possible to optimize the
usage of on-board computing and energy resources of the UAV. So, real-time video
transmissions for IoT applications require special treatment [Pereira]. However,
as revealed through a detail analysis of the state-of-the-art in the next section,
the existing solutions do not address such special requirements. This draft
attempts to bridge this important gap by extending CoAP [RFC7252].
To realize its purpose, the A-REaLiST architecture relies on [RFC7967] and adds
few new header options which, taken together, can be conceived to form a
conceptual 'Stream' extension on CoAP (Fig. 1).

Figure 1: Abstract extended layering of CoAP for A-REaLiST with the conceptual
layer for streaming.
Though primarily designed for video streaming, these extensions can also be used
to allow streaming of time-series information on CoAP.
Note: Block-wise transfer [RFC7959] is a standardized extension to CoAP for
transferring large application data. The cited use case for this is to perform
firmware upgrade for a large number of constrained devices. Block-wise
transfer is primarily concerned with reliable delivery of information. It
works in synchronized manner. If a message remains unacknowledged despite
retransmissions then the whole exchange is cancelled. So, it is not suitable
for real-time delivery [GIoTS] which is requirement for many time-series
information streams including video.
2. Revisiting CoAP
2.1. Some Interesting Aspects of CoAP
( i) CoAP allows both confirmable (CON) and non-confirmable (NON) messaging.
( ii) CON mode enables CoAP with an option for reliable RESTful delivery like HTTP
[RFC2616]on TCP. On the other hand, intelligent use of No-Response option
[RFC7967] along with NON mode can create an RTP like best-effort messaging on
UDP.
(iii) Context based switching between the reliable and best-effort semantics can
be executed from the end-application level. This way an optimum balance
between reliability delay-performance can be maintained to improve the overall
Quality of Experience (QoE).
Bhattacharyya, et al. Expires August 4, 2019 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft draft-bhattacharyya-core-a-realist-01 February 2019
( iv) The base CoAP specification is inherently designed for resource constrained
devices. Hence, a streaming protocol using the stateless RESTful semantics on
CoAP makes the solution inherently lightweight. So, unlike conventional
approach the designers can use a single stack that is equally efficient for
sending the small data out of sensors, as well as, infinite visual stream.
2.2. The Prevalent Approaches for Streaming over Internet
The two prevalent approaches for streaming over the Internet are as below.
First approach is to send the information segment over HTTP which uses the
reliability feature of the underlying Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
transport. In this case TCP state-machine puts more emphasis on reliable delivery
of segments rather than maintaining the real-time deadlines. However, this is
right now the prevalent approach as it treats video and other streams as general
Internet traffic. So, streaming can seamlessly co-exist with the existing Internet
architecture. Also, since TCP takes care of ordered delivery, the end-application
does not need to worry about these matters.
The other approach is to use a specialized protocol like Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550]. It treats video and other real-time streams as a special
type of traffic. To ensure real-time delivery, the data is delivered in best-
effort manner on top of UDP. So, reliable delivery is undermined.
2.3. CoAP as the Best of Two Worlds
It can be conjectured, tallying the above with previous section, that CoAP
inherently imbibes the functional features from HTTP-on-TCP (reliable delivery)
and RTP-on-UDP (best-effort delivery). Further CoAP allows the switching between
these two seamlessly just by maneuvering the header options.
3. The Approach behind A-REaLiST
The design stems from the principles of ''progressive download'' on top of the
RESTful request/response semantics of CoAP. The ''producer'' chunks the continuous
information stream into segments as per the agreed maximum payload size suggested
in [RFC7252]. Each chunk is transmitted as a CoAP request to a given resource at
the ''consumer''. This draft provides the necessary header extensions that enable
the ''consumer'' to maintain the sequence of the information segments in time and
space.
3.1. Optional Context Aware Semantic Switch
Before forming the CoAP message for each segment, the streaming application may
use a real-time analytics module (henceforth referred as 'analytics module') which
may provide inference to the ''Stream'' layer to decide the exchange semantics for
the current segment. The message is sent reliably (CON message) or as best-effort
Bhattacharyya, et al. Expires August 4, 2019 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft draft-bhattacharyya-core-a-realist-01 February 2019
(NON message with No-Response option) based on the segment's information
criticality. Criticality is measured in terms of importance of the segment-content
in reconstruction of the frames at the consumer. However, determination of
criticality can be done on many aspects involving several application features
like the source encoding type, the rendering logic at the consumer, etc. This way
the over-all balance between QoE and resource-consumption may be maintained. Fig.
2 explains the idea with conceptual blocks. The overall concept and its efficacy
has been explained with experimental results in [Wi-UAV-Globecom]
+----------------------+
| Application | Information segment ---------
+----------------------+ ====================> |Real-time|
| Stream | <==================== |Analytics|
|----------------------| Reliable/ ---------
| Requests/Responses | Best-effort?
|----------------------|
| Messages |
+----------------------+
Figure 2: Illustrating the concept for context aware switching
Some examples are:
Example-1: Temporally compressed videos like MPEG consist of Group of Pictures
(GoP) which comprises I-frames (Intra-frames) or key-frames, P-frames
(Predicted frames) and B-frames (Bidirectional frames). Out of these 3 types
of frames I-frames are most critical in terms of synchronizing with the GoP at
the receiver end for successful rendering. So, an analytics module at the
''video producer'' end may infer each information segments of I-frames as
critical and send those segments reliably. The segments corresponding to P and
B frames may be transferred as best-effort requests.
Example-2: Let us consider a Motion JPEG (MJPEG) stream. In this case all the
frames are independent JPEG frames and there is no temporal compression. The
analytics module may treat the segments containing MJPEG meta-data for each
frame as critical segments and transfer them through reliable messaging. Rest
of the segments may be transferred as best-effort requests. An intelligent
rendering engine at the ''consumer'' application may compensate for / conceal
any possible loss of non-meta-data (non-critical) segments using the reliably
received meta-data and rest of the non-meta-data segments received through
best-effort. This way high QoE can be ensured despite reduced resource usage.
4. The Options Introduced
To achieve the purpose of the Stream layer, three new protocol header options have
been proposed as below:
Bhattacharyya, et al. Expires August 4, 2019 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft draft-bhattacharyya-core-a-realist-01 February 2019
1) Stream_info: Consumes one unsigned byte. It maintains the stream identity and
indicates the present phase of exchange. It is both a request and response
option. It has two fields. The 3-LSBs indicate the state of exchange
(Stream_state) and 5-MSBs indicate an identifier (Stream_id) for the stream.
The identifier remains unchanged for the entire stream. So,
Stream_id = Stream_info >> 3;
Stream_ state = Stream_info & 0x7.
Interpretation of Stream_state bits are :
000=> stream initiation (always with request);
001=> initiation accepted (always with response);
010=> initiation rejected (always with response);
011=> stream re-negotiation (with request or response);
100=> stream ongoing.
2) Time-stamp: It consumes 32-bit unsigned integer. It is a request option. It
relates a particular application information segment to the corresponding
frame in the play sequence.
3) Position: It consumes 16-bit unsigned integer. It is a request option and MUST
be accompanied with the Time-stamp option. It is a combination of two fields.
The 15-MSBs indicate the ''offset'' at which the present segment is placed in
the frame corresponding to the given timestamp. The LSB indicates if the
current segment is the last segment of the frame corresponding to the given
timestamp. Hence,
Last_segment = Position &0x01 ? True : False;
Offset = (Position >> 1).

5. The Handshake and Exchange Semantics
As per the design considerations in view of the scenarios conceived at present,
video transfer is initiated by the ''producer'' which acts as the client.
Note: The design considerations are driven by the experiences drawn from the
applications where live video feeds are transmitted from battery operated
constrained ''video producers'' like UAVs and dumb robotic terminals, etc. For
example, while a fixed infrastructure system is using streamed FPV feed from UAVs,
there may be situations where each time a UAV is low on resources (energy and
computation, a new UAV with better state of resources (fresh battery, etc.) is
commissioned. The overall operation becomes simple if the newly commissioned UAV
readily starts its job by streaming to the same resource at the fixed
infrastructure. It can be easily configured to determine whether the consumer is
up and watching by observing the responses to the CON requests. In case the
exchange is initiated by the consumer then whenever a new UAV is commissioned, the
consumer has to re-initiate the request again.
Each segment is transmitted to the ''video consumer'' as a POST request. The Time-
stamp and Position options help sequential ordering of the segments at the
consumer.
5.1. Initial Negotiation
Initial negotiations for frame rate, video type, encoding details, etc., are
performed by exchanging configuration scripts (cbor or json) over POST request.
Exact format of the script is application dependent and is not part of this draft.
Fig. 3 illustrates the exemplary exchanges related to handshakes for connection
initiation.
Note: All reliable transfers are in blocking mode. So, the producer MUST wait to
send any further segment (critical/ on-critical) till the response is received for
the critical segment. Please refer to Section 6 for suggested behavior in case a
reliable transfer fails.

Figure 3: Example showing successful negotiation of streaming parameters followed
by transmission of video information and control. It is assumed that the segment
size negotiated as 1024 at the initiation. So, the position of the 2nd block is
1024. Note the use of No-response option with NON request for the non-critical
segment.
5.2. Renegotiation
The renegotiation phase may occur when the ''consumer'' does not agree to
parameters proposed by the producer and proposes a modified set. This may happen
when the consumer application may need a less frame-rate than what is proposed by
the producer. So, the ''consumer'' may request a lower frame-rate and thereby avoid
unnecessary traffic in the network. The reduction may also be driven by the
processing load on the producer which is anyway a constrained device. So, if a
consumer requests more frame-rate than what is initially proposed by the producer,
then the producer may insist on the lower frame-rate. Renegotiation may also occur
if, during a stream, the producer senses a change in the end-to-end channel
condition and proposes a new set of best possible parameters that can be served
to the consumer.
Note that, that the consumer is never allowed to exceed the limits advertised by
the producer.

6. Some Design Guidelines
6.1. Implicit Congestion Avoidance
The throughput and resource optimization for A-REaLiST depends largely on the
best-effort delivery on UDP. Despite that the application designer can make A-
REaLiST implicitly congestion aware and proactively avoid congestion. CoAP has a
basic congestion avoidance mechanism which uses exponential back off to increase
the timeout for retransmissions. However, that works only for CON messages.
The implicit congestion avoidance works like this: In case the producer fails to
successfully transfer a critical segment of a frame within the MAX_TRANSMIT_SPAN
as well as within MAX_RETRANSMIT [RFC7252] attempts, the producer drops
transmission of rest of the segments in that frame and waits for the next frame to
be ready. The rationale is, since the critical segment is not delivered, the
consumer will fail to reconstruct this frame anyway. So, there is no point in
clogging the network with rest of the segments.
6.2. Considerations for Consumer-side Rendering
While the critical segments are delivered reliably in a sequential manner, non-
critical are delivered with best-effort in an open-loop exchange. Also, the whole
frame can be dropped to avoid congestion. Hence, the application at the
''consumer'' end-point (server) needs to deal with issues like out-of-order
delivery, frame/segment loss, asynchronous segment arrival.
The issues mentioned above have been discussed in literatures [Perkins]. So the
basic approach should be: Buffer till a critical time to iron out the jittery,
Bhattacharyya, et al. Expires August 4, 2019 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft draft-bhattacharyya-core-a-realist-01 February 2019
out-of-order arrival of the segments, play out from the appropriate buffer at a
constant rate determined by the frame-rate of the video. There may be intelligent
algorithms to play-out with high QoE despite non-arrival of non-critical segments
within the play-out deadline. This draft provides the hooks to create such
designs. Reference architecture of the play-out mechanism is provided in [Wi-UAV-
Globecom]. The play-out architecture leverages on the design assumption about the
'less-constrained' nature of the consumer in terms of memory and processor.
6.3. Determining the segment size
Size of the information segment in a CoAP message should be limited by the least
possible MTU for the end-to-end channel. This is to ensure that there is no
undesired conversation state at the lower layers of the protocol stack due to
uncontrolled fragmentation leading to undesired explosion of traffic in the
network. For IPV6 network, the MTU can be determined using Path MTU Discovery
(PMTUD) [RFC8201] which bestows the responsibility of determining the path MTU on
the end-points itself.
The size of the segment should be guided by the recommendations as specified in
Section 4.6 of [RFC7252].
7. IANA Considerations
The IANA is requested to assign numbers to the three options introduced in this
draft for inclusion in the ''CoAP Option Numbers" registry as shown below.
+--------+--------------+-------------+
| Number | Name | Reference |
+--------+--------------+-------------+
| TBD | Stream-info | Section 4 |
+--------+--------------+-------------+
| TBD | Time-stamp | Section 4 |
+--------+--------------+-------------+
| TBD | Position | Section 4 |
+--------+--------------+-------------+
8. Security Considerations
This draft presents no security considerations beyond those in Section 11 of the
base CoAP specification [RFC7252].
