FEC-Based Video Streaming over Packet Loss Networks with Pre-Interleaving

In this paper; we present a FEC-based end-to-end error control scheme for video streaming over packet loss networks. We propose a novel robust video streaming system in which an interleaving is applied to the compressed bitstream before channel coding. The application of such preinterleaving is able to improve the perlformatice of video streaming over packet loss networks because pre-interleaving can simultaneously satish different requirements arising from both channel coding and source coding. We denionstrate with simulations that the proposed approach can achieve a sign$cant itiiprovement f o r video streaming over heavj packet loss networks.
