The European STREP Project SUIT involves the development of a multiple description scalable video codec for the transmission of video content over DVB-T/H and WiMAX channels. In this paper, we elaborate on the architectural design choices for such a multiple description transmission system, which utilizes H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC). We follow a phased approach focusing on the following u...

In this paper, we consider a combined multiple description/Alamouti’s space-time coding for image transmission over a MIMO flat-fading wireless channel. We also propose a bit-correction scheme over description estimation for the lost description, which can correct bit errors based on the source statistical information such as variance. Simulation results show that the quality of the reconstruct...
