This paper deals with 2/sup l/-ary transmission using multilevel coding (MLC) and multistage
decoding (MSD). The known result that MLC and MSD suffice to approach capacity if the …

Due to the explosive growth of the Internet and increasing demand for multimedia
information on the Web, streaming video over the Internet has received tremendous …

We review feedback-based low bit-rate video coding techniques for robust transmission in
mobile multimedia networks. For error control on the source coding level, each decoder has …

In this article we describe and investigate an Internet video streaming system based on a
scalable video coder combined with unequal error protection that maintains an acceptable …

With the emergence of broadband wireless networks and increasing demand of multimedia
information on the Internet, wireless multimedia services are foreseen to become widely …

A system and method disposed to enable encoding, decoding and manipulation of digital
video with substantially less processing load than would otherwise required. In particular …

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 …

In this paper we address the problem of robust video transmission in error prone
environments. The approach is compatible with the ITU-T video coding standard H. 263 …

Video communication is an indispensable modality of multimedia, most prominently
exemplified by the Internet-based World Wide Web today. After the web browser itself …

A method is proposed for efficient scalability in predictive coding, which overcomes known
fundamental shortcomings of the prediction loop at enhancement layers. The compression …
