Multi-point processor resource scheduling method and multi-point control unit

Abstract

The invention discloses a scheduling method for several-points processing resource and several-points control unit. The method comprises: respectively allocating the only IP addresses for several-points control module MC and several-points processing module MP in each several-points control unit MCU; in the video network, any MC in the MCU through the IP address and other local MCU in the MCU to connect the MP; any other MCU in the MCU record resource information of the MP, the MP of the MCU resource information synchronization; any MCU in accordance with MP described resource information through the dispatch mentioned in connection to the MP to other resources in the MCU. Video network resources all MC and the MP to communicate with each other through the method and unification of scheduling, so as to enhance the video network resource utilization MP.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of video conferencing, in particular to a multipoint processing resource scheduling method and a multipoint control unit. Background technique [0002] With the popularity of video conferencing applications, the scale of video conferencing is also increasing; this requires that the performance of the multi-point control unit (MCU) as the core equipment of video conferencing needs to be continuously enhanced. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the existing MCU structure, such as figure 1 As shown, the MCU in the video conference is composed of a multipoint control module (MC) and a multipoint processing module (MP). In the current video network, MP and MC are usually located in the same device or server, because they are in the same Therefore, it is generally not distinguished whether it is an MP or an MC. The MC and the MP are connected through an internal bus. The MP is directly scheduled by the MC in t...

Problems solved by technology

In this cascading mode, the signaling needs to be forwarded from the MCU, the conference configuration is very complicated, and it is difficult to hold a conference

[0006] Although the capacity of video conferencing has been formally improved through cascading, no matter which cascading method, there are also very large limitations: when MCUs are cascaded, the media processing is still performed by each MCU's own MP MP resource is still used independently by its own MCU. In fact, each MCU is still an isolated point. Each MCU processes its own media data and joins the conference of other MCUs as a special terminal of other MCUs. In other words, for each MCU, the number of terminals that can be handled in the conference has not increased, which is not a real increase in conference capacity

In cascaded conferences, other MCUs joined as special terminals will not be able to realize many terminal functions in ordinary conferences

[0007] Therefore, if there are multiple MCUs in the video conferencing network, although there are a lot of MP resources in total, it can still only hold conferences with the capacity allowed by a single MCU, and cannot effectively use the MP resources in other MCUs. The utilization of MP resources is very low
