Network-adaptive rate control with unequal loss protection for scalable video over Internet

چکیده
Video communication with quality of service (QoS) is an important and challenging task. To have QoS provision or guarantee at application level in the current best-effort Internet, congestion control and error control are two effective approaches. In this paper, we propose a new network-adaptive rate control scheme for scalable video communication in conjunction with Unequal Loss Protection (ULP). The proposed scheme not only adapts the bit rate to the dynamical network condition, but also has the error resilient capability. In other words, our proposed approach is capable of simultaneously controlling congestion and error occurred across the Internet. More specifically, first, we dynamically estimate the available network bandwidth on the fly. Secondly, congestion control is performed to smoothly adjust sending rate for continuous media. Thirdly, network packet loss rate is taken into account while performing rate adaptation at the bitstream level by minimizing end-to-end distortion. Lastly, error protection at packet level is added using ULP while performing rate control. Simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of our approach.

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...

This paper deals with the optimal packet loss protection issue for streaming the fine granularity scalable (FGS) video bitstreams over IP networks. Unlikemany other existing protection schemes, we develop an error-resilient unequal error protection (ER-UEP) method that adds redundant information optimally for loss protection and, at the same time, cancels completely the dependency among bitstre...

English: This paper presents a joint source and channel rate allocation algorithm for video transmission over erasure channels. The approach relies on unequal error protection (UEP) of the video stream, in order to minimize the received signal distortion. It takes into account both the frames and the channel characteristics. The loss behavior is approximated by a two states Markov model. The al...

This paper describes a three-screen television system using a block recovery rate (BRR)-based unequal error protection (UEP). The proposed in-home wireless network uses scalable video coding (SVC) and UEP with forward error correction (FEC) for maximizing the quality of service (QoS) over error-prone wireless networks. For efficient FEC packet assignment, this paper proposes a simple and effici...
