Robust Transmission of H.264/AVC Video Using 64-QAM and Unequal Error Protection

چکیده
This paper presents a robust transmission of H264/AVC coded video using hierarchical quadrature amplitude modulation (HQAM), which takes into consideration the non-uniformly distributed importance of frames in a group of pictures (GOP) intracoded (I-frames) and predictive coded frames (P-frames) as well as the sensitivity of the coded bitsream against transmission errors. Unequal error protection is based on uniform and non-uniform HQAM constellations in conjunction with different scenarios of splitting the bits of transmitted symbol for protection of the more important information of the video content. The performance of the transmission system is evaluated under additive Gaussian noise (AWGN) conditions. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy produces a better quality of the reconstructed video data compared with a system that offers uniform protection.

A Cross-Layer Unequal Error Protection Scheme for Prioritized H.264 Video using RCPC Codes and Hierarchical QAM
We investigate the rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes concatenated with hierarchical QAM for designing a cross-layer unequal error protection scheme for H.264 coded sequences. We first divide the H.264 encoded video slices into three priority classes based on their relative importance. We investigate the system constraints and propose an optimization formulation to compute the...
متن کاملLayered H.264 video transmission with hierarchical QAM
In multimedia communication systems, channel bandwidth and probability of error are the two main limitations that affect the quality of service. Therefore, in applications such as video over mobile networks, a video codec should cope with the erroneous situations of the channel as well as the bandwidth limitation. There are several techniques to make a video bitstream robust to the channel erro...
متن کاملA New Unequal Error Protection Technique Based on the Mutual Information of the MPEG-4 Video Frames over Wireless Networks
The performance of video transmission over wireless channels is limited by the channel noise. Thus many error resilience tools have been incorporated into the MPEG-4 video compression method. In addition to these tools, the unequal error protection (UEP) technique has been proposed to protect the different parts in an MPEG-4 video packet with different channel coding rates based on the rate...

We present a novel scheme for the transmission of H.264/AVC video streams over lossy packet networks. The proposed scheme exploits the error-resilient features of H.264/AVC codec and employs Reed-Solomon codes to protect effectively the streams. A novel technique for adaptive classification of macroblocks into three slice groups is also proposed. The optimal classification of macroblocks and th...
متن کاملVideo multicast using unequal error protection with Luby Transform codes
In a recent work, we proposed a method for unequal error protection with Luby Transform codes and showed that it achieves lower bit error rates than a state of the art technique when the information symbols are partitioned into two protection levels (most important and least important). In this paper, we apply our previous work to the problem of video multicast with heterogeneous receivers. We ...
