Introduction   This document specifies the payload format for packetization of audio   data encoded with the Standard apt-X or Enhanced apt-X audio coding   algorithms into the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550].   The document outlines some conventions, a brief description of the   operating principles of the audio codecs, and the payload format   capabilities.  The RTP payload format is detailed, and a relevant   example of the format is provided.  The media type, its mappings to   SDP [RFC4566], and its usage in the SDP offer/answer model are also   specified.  Finally, some security considerations are outlined.   This document registers a media type (audio/aptx) for the RTP payload   format for the Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X audio codecs.Lindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                    [Page 2]

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 20142.  Conventions   This document uses the normal IETF bit-order representation.  Bit   fields in figures are read left to right and then down.  The leftmost   bit in each field is the most significant.  The numbering starts from   0 and ascends, where bit 0 will be the most significant.   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this   document are to be interpreted as described inRFC 2119 [RFC2119].3.  Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X Codecs   Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X are proprietary audio coding   algorithms, which can be licensed from CSR plc. and are widely   deployed in a variety of audio processing equipment.  For commercial   reasons, the detailed internal operations of these algorithms are not   described in standards or reference documents.  However, the data   interfaces to implementations of these algorithms are very simple and   allow easy RTP packetization of data coded with the algorithms   without detailed knowledge of the actual coded audio stream syntax.   Both the Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X coding algorithms are   based on Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation principles.   They produce a constant coded bit rate that is scaled according to   the sample frequency of the uncoded audio.  This constant rate is 1/4   of the bit rate of the uncoded audio, irrespective of the resolution   (number of bits) used to represent an uncoded audio sample.  For   example, a 1.536-Mbit/s stereo audio stream composed of two channels   of 16-bit Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) audio that is sampled at a   frequency of 48 kHz is encoded at 384 kbit/s.   Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X do not enforce a coded frame   structure, and the coded data forms a continuous coded sample stream   with each coded sample capable of regenerating four PCM samples when   decoded.  The Standard apt-X algorithm encodes four successive 16-bit   PCM samples from each audio channel into a single 16-bit coded sample   per audio channel.  The Enhanced apt-X algorithm encodes four   successive 16-bit or 24-bit PCM samples from each audio channel and   respectively produces a single 16-bit or 24-bit coded sample per   channel.  The same RTP packetization rules apply for each of these   algorithmic variations.   Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X coded data streams can optionally   carry synchronization information and an auxiliary data channel   within the coded audio data without additional overhead.  These   mechanisms can, for instance, be used when the IP system is cascaded   with another transportation system and the decoder is acting as aLindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 2014   simple bridge between the two systems.  Since auxiliary data channel   and synchronization information are carried within the coded audio   data without additional overhead, RTP payload format rules do not   change if they are present.  Out-of-band signaling is required,   however, to notify the receiver end when autosync and auxiliary data   have been embedded in the apt-X stream.   Embedded auxiliary data is typically used to transport non-audio data   and timecode information for synchronization with video.  The bit   rate of the auxiliary data channel is 1/4 of the sample frequency.   For example, with a single audio channel encoded at Fs = 48 kHz, an   auxiliary data bit rate of 12 kbit/s can be embedded.   apt-X further provides a means of stereo-pairing apt-X channels so   that the embedded autosync and auxiliary data channel can be shared   across the channel pair.  In the case of a 1.536-Mbit/s stereo audio   stream composed of two channels of 16-bit PCM audio that is sampled   at 48 kHz, a byte of auxiliary data would typically be fed into the   Standard apt-X or Enhanced apt-X encoder once every 32 uncoded left   channel samples.  By default, apt-X channel-pairing is not enabled.   Out-of-band signaling is required to notify the receiver when the   option is being used.   Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X decoders that have not been set up   with the correct embedded autosync, auxiliary data, and   stereo-pairing information will play out uncoded PCM samples with a   loss of decoding quality.  In the case of Standard apt-X, the loss of   quality can be significant.   Further details on the algorithm operation can be obtained from   CSR plc.

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 20144.  Payload Format Capabilities   This RTP payload format carries an integer number of Standard apt-X   or Enhanced apt-X coded audio samples.  When multiple related audio   channels are being conveyed within the payload, each channel   contributes the same integer number of apt-X coded audio samples to   the total carried by the payload.4.1.  Use of Forward Error Correction (FEC)   Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X do not inherently provide any   mechanism for adding redundancy or error-control coding into the   coded audio stream.  Generic schemes for RTP, such as forward error   correction as described inRFC 5109 [RFC5109] andRFC 2733 [RFC2733],   can be used to add redundant information to Standard apt-X and   Enhanced apt-X RTP packet streams, making them more resilient to   packet losses at the expense of a higher bit rate.5.  Payload Format   The Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X algorithms encode four   successive PCM samples from each audio channel and produce a single   compressed sample for each audio channel.  The encoder MUST be   presented with an integer number S of input audio samples, where S is   an arbitrary multiple of 4.  The encoder will produce exactly S/4   coded audio samples.  Since each coded audio sample is either 16 or   24 bits, the amount of coded audio data produced upon each invocation   of the encoding process will be an integer number of bytes.  RTP   packetization of the encoded data SHALL be on a byte-by-byte basis.5.1.  RTP Header Usage   Utilization of the Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X coding   algorithms does not create any special requirements with respect to   the contents of the RTP packet header.  Other RTP packet header   fields are defined as follows.   o  V - As per [RFC3550]   o  P - As per [RFC3550]   o  X - As per [RFC3550]   o  CC - As per [RFC3550]   o  M - As per [RFC3550] and[RFC3551] Section 4.1Lindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 2014   o  PT - A dynamic payload type; MUST be used [RFC3551]   o  SN (sequence number) - As per [RFC3550]   o  Timestamp - As per [RFC3550].  The RTP timestamp reflects the      instant at which the first audio sample in the packet was sampled,      that is, the oldest information in the packet.   Header field abbreviations are defined as follows.   o  V - Version Number   o  P - Padding   o  X - Extensions   o  CC - Count of contributing sources   o  M - Marker   o  PT - Payload Type   o  PS - Payload Structure5.2.  Payload Structure   The RTP payload data for Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X MUST be   structured as follows.   Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X coded samples are packed   contiguously into payload octets in "network byte order", also known   as big-endian order, and starting with the most significant bit.   Coded samples are packed into the packet in time sequence, beginning   with the oldest coded sample.  An integer number of coded samples   MUST be within the same packet.   When multiple channels of Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X coded   audio, such as in a stereo program, are multiplexed into a single RTP   stream, the coded samples from each channel, at a single sampling   instant, are interleaved into a coded sample block according to the   following standard audio channel ordering [RFC3551].  Coded sample   blocks are then packed into the packet in time sequence beginning   with the oldest coded sample block.Lindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                    [Page 6]

Coded samples for   all channels, belonging to a single coded sampling instant, MUST be   contained in the same packet.  All channels in the same RTP stream   MUST be sampled at the same frequency.5.3.  Default Packetization Interval   The default packetization interval MUST have a duration of   4 milliseconds.  When an integer number of coded samples per channel   cannot be contained within this 4-millisecond interval, the default   packet interval MUST be rounded down to the nearest packet interval   that can contain a complete integer set of coded samples.  For   example, when encoding audio with either Standard apt-X or Enhanced   apt-X, sampled at 11025 Hz, 22050 Hz, or 44100 Hz, the packetization   interval MUST be rounded down to 3.99 milliseconds.   The packetization interval sets limits on the end-to-end delay;   shorter packets minimize the audio delay through a system at the   expense of increased bandwidth, while longer packets introduce less   header overhead but increase delay and make packet loss more   noticeable.  A default packet interval of 4 milliseconds maintains an   acceptable ratio of payload to header bytes and minimizes the   end-to-end delay to allow viable interactive applications based on   apt-X.  All implementations MUST support this default packetization   interval.Lindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 20145.4.  Implementation Considerations   An application implementing this payload format MUST understand all   the payload parameters that are defined in this specification.  Any   mapping of these parameters to a signaling protocol MUST support all   parameters.  Implementations can always decide whether they are   capable of communicating based on the entities defined in this   specification.5.5.  Payload Example   As an example payload format, consider the transmission of an   arbitrary 5.1 audio signal consisting of six channels of 24-bit PCM   data, sampled at a rate of 48 kHz and packetized on an RTP packet   interval of 4 milliseconds.  The total bit rate before audio coding   is 6 * 24 * 48000 = 6.912 Mbit/s.  Applying Enhanced apt-X coding   with a coded sample size of 24 bits results in a transmitted coded   bit rate of 1/4 of the uncoded bit rate, i.e., 1.728 Mbit/s.  On   packet intervals of 4 milliseconds, packets contain 864 bytes of   encoded data that contain 48 Enhanced apt-X coded samples per   channel.   For the example format, the diagram below shows how coded samples   from each channel are packed into a sample block and how sample   blocks 1, 2, and 48 are subsequently packed into the RTP packet.      C:      Channel index: Left (l) = 1, left center (lc) = 2,      center (c) = 3, right (r) = 4, right center (rc) = 5,      and surround (S) = 6.      T:      Sample Block time index: The first sample block is 1; the final      sample is 48.

Author/Change controller: IETF Payload Working Group delegated      from the IESG.6.2.  Mapping to SDP   The information carried in the media type specification has a   specific mapping to fields in the Session Description Protocol (SDP)   [RFC4566] that is commonly used to describe RTP sessions.  When SDP   is used to describe sessions, the media type mappings are as follows.   o  The type name ("audio") goes in SDP "m=" as the media name.   o  The subtype name ("aptx") goes in SDP "a=rtpmap" as the encoding      name.   o  The parameter "rate" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as the clock rate.   o  The parameter "channels" also goes in "a=rtpmap" as the channel      count.   o  The parameter "maxptime", when present, MUST be included in the      SDP "a=maxptime" attribute.   o  The required parameters "variant" and "bitresolution" MUST be      included in the SDP "a=fmtp" attribute.   o  The optional parameters "stereo-channel-pairs",      "embedded-autosync-channels", and "embedded-aux-channels", when      present, MUST be included in the SDP "a=fmtp" attribute.Lindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 2014   o  The parameter "ptime", when present, goes in a separate SDP      attribute field and is signaled as "a=ptime:<value>", where      <value> is the number of milliseconds of audio represented by      one RTP packet.  SeeSection 6 of [RFC4566].6.2.1.  SDP Usage Examples   Some example SDP session descriptions utilizing apt-X encodings   follow.  In these examples, long "a=fmtp" lines are folded to meet   the column width constraints of this document.   Example 1: A Standard apt-X stream that encodes two independent   44.1-kHz 16-bit PCM channels into a 4-millisecond RTP packet.      m=audio 5004 RTP/AVP 98      a=rtpmap:98 aptx/44100/2      a=fmtp:98 variant=standard; bitresolution=16;      a=ptime:4   Example 2: An Enhanced apt-X stream that encodes two 48-kHz 24-bit   stereo channels into a 4-millisecond RTP packet and carries both an   embedded autosync and auxiliary data channel.      m=audio 5004 RTP/AVP 98      a=rtpmap:98 aptx/48000/2      a=fmtp:98 variant=enhanced; bitresolution=24;      stereo-channel-pairs={1,2}; embedded-autosync-channels=1;      embedded-aux-channels=2      a=ptime:4   Example 3: An Enhanced apt-X stream that encodes six 44.1-kHz 24-bit   channels into a 6-millisecond RTP packet.  Channels 1,2 and 3,4 are   stereo pairs.  Both stereo pairs carry both an embedded autosync and   auxiliary data channel.      m=audio 5004 RTP/AVP 98      a=rtpmap:98 aptx/44100/6      a=fmtp:98 variant=enhanced; bitresolution=24;      stereo-channel-pairs={1,2},{3,4}; embedded-autosync-channels=1,3;      embedded-aux-channels=2,4      a=ptime:6Lindsay & Foerster           Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 7310                    apt-X RTP Format                   July 20146.2.2.  Offer/Answer Considerations   The only negotiable parameter is the delivery method.  All other   parameters are declarative.  The offer, as described in [RFC3264],   may contain a large number of delivery methods per single fmtp   attribute.  The answerer MUST remove every delivery method and   configuration URI that is not supported.  Apart from this exceptional   case, all parameters MUST NOT be altered on answer.7.  IANA Considerations   One media type (audio/aptx) has been registered in the "Media Types"   registry.  SeeSection 6.1.8.  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 any appropriate RTP profile (for example,   [RFC3551]).  This implies that confidentiality of the media streams   is achieved by encryption.  Because the audio coding used with this   payload format is applied end to end, encryption may be performed   after audio coding so there is no conflict between the two   operations.  A potential denial-of-service threat exists for audio   coding techniques that have non-uniform receiver-end computational   load.  The attacker can inject pathological datagrams into the stream   that are complex to decode and cause the receiver to be overloaded.   However, the Standard apt-X and Enhanced apt-X audio coding   algorithms do not exhibit any significant non-uniformity.  As with   any IP-based protocol, in some circumstances a receiver may be   overloaded simply by the receipt of too many packets, either desired   or undesired.  Network-layer authentication may be used to discard   packets from undesired sources, but the processing cost of the   authentication itself may be too high.  In a multicast environment,   pruning of specific sources may be implemented in future versions of   IGMP [RFC3376] and in multicast routing protocols to allow a receiver   to select which sources are allowed to reach it.  [RFC6562] has   highlighted potential security vulnerabilities of Variable Bit Rate   (VBR) codecs using Secure RTP transmission methods.  As the Standard   apt-X and Enhanced apt-X codecs are Constant Bit Rate (CBR) codecs,   this security vulnerability is therefore not applicable.9.
