Abstract: We present an effective framework for increasing the error-resilience of low bit-rate video communications over an error-prone packet-switched network. 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 source/channel-coding approach and trades off source coding efficiency for increased bitstream error-resilience to optimize the video coding mode selection within and across layers. The algorithm considers the channel conditions, as well as the error recovery and concealment capabilities, of the channel codec and source decoder, respectively. Important framework parameters including the packetization scheme, decoder error concealment method, and channel codec error-protection strength are considered. The effects of mismatch between the parameters employed by the encoder and the actual channel conditions are considered. Results are presented for a wide range of packet loss rates in order to illustrate the benefits of the proposed framework.

TL;DR: The recent development of practical distributed video coding schemes is reviewed, finding that the rate-distortion performance is superior to conventional intraframe coding, but there is still a gap relative to conventional motion-compensated interframe coding.

Delay-Constrained Video Transmission: Quality-Driven Resource Allocation and Scheduling
TL;DR: This work considers a multiuser setup whereby different users have (possibly different) delay QoS constraints, and derives the resource allocation policy that maximizes the sum video quality and applies to any quality metric with concave rate-quality mapping.
