Unequal Packet Loss Protection for Layered Video Transmission
نویسنده
چکیده
In the paper a general model for the transmission of layered video is introduced. The effect of packet dropping in different layers on the reconstruction of pictures is analysed. The application of unequal packet loss protection (UPLP) for layered video is proposed and the performance is investigated. An algorithm for the design of the UPLP parameters is described. The numerical analysis shows that the unequal packet loss protection can significantly improve the communication quality, in the sense of packet loss rate on reconstructing pictures, without any additional complexity in the network infrastructure. It is also shown that application of UPLP can achieve a more efficient bandwidth utilization than application of ARQ protocols. This technique is suitable for multimedia multicasting in heterogeneous networks, as well as for digital video broadcasting systems which support a variety of receivers with different resolutions and signal processing powers.

A 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...
متن کاملGOP-level transmission distortion modeling for mobile streaming video
Unequal loss protection is an effective tool in delivering compressed video streaming over packet-switched networks robustly. A critical component in any unequal-loss-protection scheme is a metric for evaluating the importance of different frames in a Group-Of-Pictures (GOP). In the case of video streaming over 3G mobile networks, packet loss usually corresponds to whole-frame loss due to low b...
متن کاملSystematic Lossy Error Protection versus Layered Coding with Unequal Error Protection
In this paper we compare two schemes for error-resilient video transmission, viz., systematic lossy error protection, and scalable coding with unequal error protection. In the first scheme, the systematic portion consists of the compressed video signal transmitted without channel coding. For error-resilience, an additional bitstream generated by Wyner-Ziv encoding of the video signal is transmi...

In this paper, we present an effective framework for increasing the error-resilience of low bit-rate video communications over error-prone packet-switched networks. Our framework is based on the principle of layered coding with transport prioritization. We introduce a rate-distortion optimized mode-selection algorithm for our prioritized layered framework. This algorithm is based on a joint sou...

| We examine the rationale for and systems aspects of using layered coding for the transmission of images and video over heterogeneous communication networks. We advocate Multi-resolution Layered Coding (MLC) and present architectural alternatives that can support it within the scope of existing standards and technologies. Since the premise of layered coding is controlled loss, the issues of er...
