Optimal FEC code concatenation for unequal error protection in video streaming applications

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for constructing an Unequal Error Protection (UEP) FEC code targeted towards video streaming applications. A concatenation of a set of parallel outer block codes followed by a packet interleaver and an inner block code is presented. The algorithm calculates on the fly the optimal allocation of the code rates of the inner and outer codes. When applied to video streaming applications using H.264, the discussed UEP framework achieves gains of up to 5dB in video quality compared to equal error protection (EEP) FEC at the same code rate.

Packetization Schemes for Forward Error Correction in Internet Video Streaming
In this work, our focus is on video streaming applications with relatively strict delay constraints; for such applications, forward error correction (FEC) is the preferred channel coding technique to recover from packet losses. Moreover, since video packets are usually of different importance, optimal bit allocation across video packets results in different packets receiving unequal error prote...
متن کاملEZBC video streaming with channel coding and error concealment
In this text we present a system for streaming video content encoded using the motion-compensated Embedded Zero Block Coder (EZBC). The system incorporates unequal loss protection in the form of multiple description FEC (MD-FEC) coding, which provides adequate protection for the embedded video bitstream when the loss process is not very bursty. The adverse e¤ects of burst losses are reduced usi...

Forward error correction (FEC) codes that can provide unequal error protection (UEP) have been used recently for video transmission over wireless channels. These video transmission schemes may also benefit from the use of FEC codes both at the application layer (AL) and the physical layer (PL). However, the interaction and optimal setup of UEP FEC codes at the AL and the PL have not been previo...
