      <t>This document presents a few use-cases of web applications that are
      executed in a browser and use real-time communication capabilities.
      Based on the use-cases, the document derives requirements related to the
      browser and the API used by web applications in the browser.</t>

      <t>The requirements related to the browser are named "Fn" and are
      described in <xref target="browser_reqs"></xref></t>

      <t>The requirements related to the API are named "An" and are described
      in <xref target="api_reqs"></xref></t>

      <t>The document focuses on requirements related to real-time media

            <t>In the service the users have loaded, and logged into, a video
            communication web application into their browsers, provided by the
            same service provider. The web service publishes information about
            user login status, by pushing updates to the web application in
            the browsers. By selecting an online peer user, a 1-1 video
            communication session between the browsers of the peers is
            initiated. The invited user might accept or reject the
            session.</t>

            <t>During session establishment a self-view is displayed, and once
            the session has been established the video sent from the remote
            peer is displayed displayed in addition to the self-view. The
            users can during the session select to remove, and re-insert the
            self-view. The users can change the sizes of the video displays
            during the session. The users can also pause sending of media
            (audio, video, or both), and mute incoming media.</t>

            <t>It is essential that the communication can not be
            eavesdropped.</t>

            <t>Any session participant can end the session at any time.</t>

            <t>The users are using communication devices of different makes,
            with different operating systems and browsers from different
            vendors.</t>

            <t>One user has an unreliable Internet connection. It sometimes
            has packet losses, and is sometimes goes down completely.</t>

            <t>One user is located behind a Network Address Translator
            (NAT).</t>

            network adapters (Ethernet, WiFi, Cellular). The communication
            device is access the Internet using Ethernet, but the user has to
            start a trip during the session. The communication device
            automatically changes to use WiFi when the Ethernet cable is
            removed and then moves to cellular access to the Internet when
            moving out of WiFi coverage. The session continues even though the

          <section title="Description" toc="default">
            <t>An ice-hockey club uses an application that enables talent
            scouts to, in real-time, show and discuss games and players with
            the club manager. The talent scouts use a mobile phone with two
            cameras, one front facing and one rear facing.</t>

            <t>The club manager uses a desktop, equipped with one camera, for
            viewing the game and discussing with the talent scout. </t>

            <t>Before the game starts, and during game breaks, the talent
            scout and the manager have a 1-1 video communication. Only the
            rear facing camera of the mobile phone is used. On the display of
            the mobile phone, the video of the club manager is shown with a
            picture-in-picture thumbnail of the rear facing camera
            (self-view). On the display of the desktop, the video of the
            talent scout is shown with a picture-in-picture thumbnail ot the
            desktop camera (self-view). </t>

            <t>When the game is on-going, the talent scout activates the use
            of the front facing camera, and that stream is sent to the desktop
            (the stream from the rear facing camera continues to be sent all
            the time). The video stream captured by the front facing camera
            (that is capturing the game) of the mobile phone is shown in a big
            window on the desktop screen, with picture-in-picture thumbnails
            of the rear facing camera and the desktop camera (self-view). On
            the display of the mobile phone the game is shown (front facing
            camera) with picture-in-picture thumbnails of the rear facing
            camera (self-view) and the desktop camera.</t>

            <t>It is essential that the communication can not be
            eavesdropped.</t>

        <section title="Multiparty video communication" toc="default">
          <section title="Description" toc="default">
            <t>In this use-case the simple video communication service is
            extended by allowing multiparty sessions. No central server is
            involved - the browser of each participant sends and receives
            streams to and from all other session participants. The web
            application in the browser of each user is responsible for setting
            up streams to all receivers.</t>

            <t>In order to enhance intelligibility, the web application pans
            the audio from different participants differently when rendering
            the audio. This is done automatically, but users can change how
            the different participants are placed in the (virtual) room.</t>

            <t>Each video stream received is by default displayed in a
            thumbnail frame within the browser, but users can change the
            display size.</t>

            <t>It is essential that the communication can not be
            eavesdropped.</t>

            <t>Note: What this use-case adds in terms of requirements is
            capabilities to send streams to and receive streams from several
            peers concurrently, as well as the capabilities to render the
            video from all recevied streams and be able to spatialize and mix
            the audio from all received streams locally in the browser.</t>

          <section title="Description" toc="default">
            <t>In this use-case, the voice part of the multiparty video
            communication application is used in the context of an on-line
            game. The received voice audio media is rendered together with
            game sound objects. For example, the sound of a tank moving from
            left to right over the screen must be rendered and played to the
            user together with the voice media.</t>

            <t>Quick updates of the game state is required.</t>

            <t>It is essential that the communication can not be
            eavesdropped.</t>

            <t>Note: the difference regarding local audio processing compared
            to the "Multiparty video communication" use-case is that other
            sound objects than the streams must be possible to be included in
            the spatialization and mixing. "Other sound objects" could for
            example be a file with the sound of the tank, that file could be
            stored locally or remotely.</t>

            <t>Discussion: This use-case was briefly discussed at the Quebec
            webrtc meeting and it got support. So far the only concrete
            requirement (A17) derived is that the application must be able to
            ask the browser to treat the audio signal as audio (in contrast to
            speech). However, the use case should be further analysed to
            determine other requirements (could be e.g. on delay
            mic->speaker, level control of audio signals, etc.).</t>

            terms of mono, stereo, 5.1, ... depending on the equipment of the

            audio streams (and can in the mixing process naturally add effects
            such as spatialization) and sends towards each participant a mixed
            audio stream which is played to the user.</t>

            displayed in smaller windows. The server selects what video
            streams to be forwarded as main- and thumbnail videos
            respectively, based on speech activity. As the video streams to
            display can change quite frequently (as the conversation flows) it
            is important that the delay from when a video stream is selected
            for display until the video can be displayed is short.</t>

            <t>The organization has an internal network set up with an
            aggressive firewall handling access to the Internet. If users can
            not physically access the internal network, they can establish a
            Virtual Private Network (VPN).</t>

            <t>It is essential that the communication can not be
            eavesdropped.</t>

            <t>All participant are authenticated by the central server, and
            authorized to connect to the central server. The participants are
            identified to each other by the central server, and the
            participants do not have access to each others' credentials such
            as e-mail addresses or login IDs.</t>

            <t>Note: This use-case adds requirements on support for fast
            stream switches F7, on encryption of media and on ability to
            traverse very restrictive FWs. There exists several solutions that
            enable the server to forward one high resolution and several low
            resolution video streams: a) each browser could send a high
            resolution, but scalable stream, and the server could send just
            the base layer for the low resolution streams, b) each browser
            could in a simulcast fashion send one high resolution and one low
            resolution stream, the server just selects, c) each browser sends
            just an high resolution stream, the server trancodes into low
            reslution streams as required.</t>
