Abstract
We describe a framework for video transmission over the Internet that features the coordinated operation of an application-layer video source coding algorithm and a transport-layer rate control mechanism. The proposed video coding scheme operates on a progressively encoded video stream and provides graceful resilience to network packet drops. The robustness is enabled through a generalized Multiple Description (MD) coding strategy, architected as an adaptive array of packet-erasure correction codes. The video coding algorithm is matched to an efficient and reactive rate control mechanism that minimizes the fluctuation of rate and uses the profile of past losses to adjust the rate in a TCP-friendly manner. While the two constituent algorithms identified above are interesting in their own right, a key feature of this work is the integration of these algorithms in a simple framework that seeks to maximize the expected delivered video quality at the receiver through coordinated adaptation...
