[N: Notes (1) This group covers: • only communications which fulfil the following two conditions: 1. they are based on packet data; 2. there is real-time or pseudo-real-time temporal association between source and destination, or source and network, or destination and network; • provided that the above two conditions are met, this group covers arrangements relating to 1. the transmission of the multimedia data itself, 2. the user-to-user, user-to-network, inter-network or intra-network signalling supporting: a. the establishment of a session for the subsequent transmission of the multimedia data, or b. the maintenance of the session or c. the application services available to the user during the session (unless explicitly excluded in certain cases). (2) This group does not cover: • non-real-time multimedia file transfer, which is covered by H04L 29/08117 . • multimedia store or forward messaging as in e-mail, MMS or the like, which is covered by H04L 12/58 • analogue multimedia streaming, as in analogue television systems, which is covered by H04N 7/00 and H04N 5/00 • bit streaming, i.e. not packet-based, as in ISDN which is covered by H04Q 11/04 • instant messaging, which is covered by H04L 12/581 • any other multimodal data communications which do not meet the conditions of being packet-based and real-time or pseudo-real-time.
