Content-based blind compensation and shaping for streaming video

Abstract

This paper studies video streaming system over a wireless medium. The major challenge is to provide a robust link along the transmission/transport path and most importantly through noisy channels/networks that could add or drop bytes by unforeseeable factors. As a remedy for this phenomenon, we combine forward error correction, blind compensation and traffic shaping to improve the over all performance. We report on the experiments on this unique performance improvement method. The results of our study can find applications in WiMax and AVCP.
