Introduction

Video transmission over wireless networks Problem

The highly error-prone nature of wireless environments The unexpected variations in available bandwidth

Solution The demand for bandwidth adaptive codec. Robust error resilience techniques.

Multiple Description Coding (MDC) Path or server diversity can reduce the effects of packet delay

and loss It suffers from data redundancy and thus requires additional

bandwidth.

Subband Extention Of H.264/AVC

Frames A and B from the original video sequence, a High Pass (HP) frame is produced after the prediction step and a Low Pass (LP) frame is produced after the update step.

Each set has half the temporal resolution as that of the original stream.

Subband Extention Of H.264/AVC

The packets contain HP information, then the decoder can be modified to recover from packet loss by inserting a zero residual frame instead of the lost frame.

A LP packet is dropped, then the consequence is more severe since that can greatly affect the PSNR and quality of the decoded stream.

Multiple Description Scalable Coding

Multiple Description Coding (MDC) First Launched Error resilience technique for the

reliable transmission of video over the wireless networks.

Complementary video streams are transmitted from one or several server locations along different paths to the client.

Second step in the evolution of this technology by merging scalable coding

Scalable coding facilitated the adaptability of the different video descriptions to variations in channel bandwidth

Proposed Layered Multiple Description Scalable Coding

Channel-bandwidth adaptive since the HP packets have a priority measure.

LP and lower layer packets have a higher priority than higher layer packets such that in the case of network congestion or a sudden reduction in channel bandwidth, higher layer (lower priority) HP packets are dropped to ensure the correct reception of higher priority packets.

Experimental Results

Conclusion

Layered Multiple Description Scalable Coding (LMDSC) Offer clients with non-homogeneous bandwidth capabilities,

video data that can adapt to channel bandwidth fluctuations and error recovery at very low bit-rates.

LMDSC significantly surpasses the decoded When faced with the same number packet losses.
