In order to meet very low packet loss rate (PLR) requirements under strict delay constraints for IP based DVB services over wireless home networks (WHN), an optimized real-time transport protocol (RTP) level hybrid error correction (HEC) scheme is proposed in this paper. The scheme is compared with the Adaptive Forward Error Correction (AFEC) scheme using Reed-Solomon code. By the HEC scheme, the needed redundancy information (RI) for repairing missing packets can be minimized, especially in DVB systems with a single user. The result of quantitative analysis shows that the needed RI of the proposed scheme can even achieve the Shannon limit with only three retransmission rounds. On the other hand, our studies show that the performance of the HEC scheme is better than that of the AFEC scheme if both the average link PLR and group size are small. However, if both the average link PLR and group …
