RFC 9993 - RTP Payload Format for Haptics

  • Status: Proposed Standard
  • Published: May 2026
  • Stream: IETF
  • Updates: RFC9695
  • Errata: No Errata

Abstract​

This memo specifies an RTP payload format for MPEG-I haptic data. A haptic media stream is composed of MPEG-I Haptic Stream (MIHS) units including a MIHS unit header and zero or more MIHS packets. The RTP payload header format allows for packetization of a MIHS unit in an RTP packet payload as well as fragmentation of a MIHS unit into multiple RTP packets. The original subtype registration for 'haptics/hmpg' (RFC 9695) did not include any required or optional parameters. This memo updates RFC 9695 and the 'haptics/hmpg' registration to add optional parameters. It also provides Session Description Protocol (SDP) usage information for the 'haptics' media type.
