METHOD AND APPARATUS OF REFERRING TO STREAM INCLUDED IN OTHER SAF SESSION FOR LASER SERVICE AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING LASER SERVICE

Provided are a method and apparatus for enabling a main stream to refer to an elementary stream existing in another simple aggregation format (SAF) session by using a global ID during provision of a light application scene representation (LASeR) service, and a LASeR service providing apparatus. In order for a main stream to refer to an elementary stream included in an SAF session different from an SAF session in which the main stream is included without a change of existing LASeR and SAF stream structures, the main stream for a LASeR service uses a global stream ID of the elementary stream as a reference value. Accordingly, the elementary stream included in the SAF session different from the SAF session of the main stream can be effectively referred to without need to create a separate apparatus or change an existing apparatus even when a global ID included in a LASeR scene description is used as in the conventional art.
