Layered Multiple Description Coding

چکیده
Multiple description codes address the problem of unreliable channels by means of independent descriptions, while layered codes address the problems of heterogeneous client bandwidths and dynamic network congestion by means of sequences of layers. With the goal of achieving both robustness to unreliable channels and adaptivity to client bandwidth heterogeneity and network congestion, we explore constructions for layered multiple description codes, where base layer descriptions can be transmitted to low bandwidth clients, while both base and enhancement layer descriptions can be transmitted to high bandwidth clients. The low bandwidth client quality is an increasing function of the number of base layer descriptions received, while the high bandwidth client quality is a bivariate increasing function of both the number of base layer descriptions and the number of enhancement-layer descriptions received. By optimizing the base layer descriptions for the low bandwidth client, in our construction, the high bandwidth client pays a penalty of 1.4 dB relative to a non-layered multiple description code optimized to the high bandwidth client.

Asymmetric Multiple Description Coding using Layered Coding and Lateral Error Correction
In this paper we present a method for Asymmetric Multiple Description Coding (AMDC) using Reed Solomon Channel Codes and Layered Coding. Asymmetric MDC can be used when channel conditions are not uniform. For instance peer-to-peer networks or heterogeneous (wired and wireless) networks may offer different channels with different bandwidths and loss characteristics. The AMDC encoder can be desig...

Multiple description (MD) coding has evolved as a promising technique for promoting error resiliency of multimedia system in real-time application programs over error-prone communicational channels. Although multiple description lattice vector quantization (MDCLVQ) is an efficient method for transmitting reliable data in the context of potential error channels, this method doesn’t consider disc...

With Asymmetric Multiple Description Coding we address the transmission case where there is a plethora of communication paths between sender and receiver, all with a different bandwidth and different levels of reliability (in terms of packet loss rate). For this scenario we have several possibilities for coding and transmission at our disposal, namely Round-Robin transmission, Layered Coding, T...

This paper presents a novel H.264-based video coding scheme for a scalable delivery system which operates over heterogeneous networks and distributes real-time streaming video to diverse types of clients. The video coding scheme is a hybrid combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and H.264. In the algorithm, an input video sequence is first decomposed into a fundamental sequence and a n...

This paper presents a video transmission system using layered multiple description (coding (MDC) and multi-path transport for reliable video communications in wireless ad-hoc networks. The proposed MDC extends a quality-scalable H.264/AVC video coding algorithm to generate two independent descriptions. The two descriptions are transmitted over different paths to a receiver in order to alleviate...
