Efficient slice‐aware H.264/AVC video transmission over time‐driven priority networks

Summary Error control techniques like error resilience (ER) and error concealment (EC) are efficient techniques to ameliorate the lost macroblocks (MBs) in the 3D video (3DV) communication system. In this paper, we propose efficient and adaptive hybrid ER‐EC algorithms for 3DV transmission over error‐prone wireless channels. At the encoder, adaptive preprocessing ER mechanisms are proposed through using the context adaptive variable length coding entropy, slice structured coding modes, and explicit flexible macroblock ordering mapping. They are used to assist the suggested EC techniques at the decoder to accurately reconstruct the erroneous MBs and frames. At the decoder, an efficient postprocessing EC technique with multiproposition methods is proposed to dynamically select the convenient EC hypothesis method based on the size of the lost MBs, the faulty view, and the frame type. It conceals the received erroneous MBs of intra‐encoded and inter‐encoded frames of the transmitted 3DV by exploiting the temporal, spatial, and inter‐view correlations among frames and views. To further improve the decoded 3DV quality, a weighted overlapping block motion and disparity compensation technique is used to reinforce the performance of the suggested ER‐EC techniques. Experimental results on various 3DV streams prove that the suggested techniques have considerably acceptable subjective and objective 3DV performance. They achieve an improved average peak signal‐to‐noise ratio gain by almost 2.85 dB compared to the conventional error control algorithms at a packet loss rate = 40%.

“…For delay constraints of video transmission applications [3,4,6], the FEC is a better choice than ARQ as it has lower end-to-end delay. Several researchers proposed the UEP solutions to ensure quality of service (QoS) for video streaming on the lossy channels [9][10][11]. The first UEP codes were proposed by Masnick and Wolf [8].…”

Performance modeling of FEC‐based unequal error protection for H.264/AVC video streaming over burst‐loss channels

Unequal error protection systems are a popular technique for video streaming. Forward error correction (FEC) is one of error control techniques to improve the quality of video streaming over lossy channels. Moreover, frame-level FEC techniques have been proposed for video streaming because of different priority video frames within the transmission rate constraint on a Bernoulli channel. However, various communication and storage systems are likely corrupted by bursts of noise in the current wireless behavior. If the burst losses go beyond the protection capacity of FEC, the efficacy of FEC can be degraded. Therefore, our proposed model allows an assessment of the perceived quality of H.264/AVC video streaming over bursty channels, and is validated by simulation experiments on the NS-2 network simulator at a given estimate of the packet loss ratio and average burst length. The results suggest a useful reference in designing the FEC scheme for video applications, and as the video coding and channel parameters are given, the proposed model can provide a more accurate evaluation tool for video streaming over bursty channels and help to evaluate the impact of FEC performance on different burst-loss parameters.

Delay constraint multipath routing for wireless multimedia ad hoc networks

et al. 2014

According to the disadvantages of real time and continuity for multimedia services in ad hoc networks, a delay constraint multipath routing protocol for wireless multimedia ad hoc networks, which can satisfy quality of service (QoS) requirement (QoS multipath optimized link state routing [MOLSR]), is proposed. The protocol firstly detects and analyzes the link delay among the nodes and collects the delay information as the routing metric by HELLO message and topology control message. Then, through using the improved multipath Dijkstra algorithm for path selection, the protocol can gain the minimum delay path from the source node to the other nodes. Finally, when the route is launched, several node-disjoint or link-disjoint multipaths will be built through the route computation. The simulation and test results show that QoS-MOLSR is suitable for large and dense networks with heavy traffic. It can improve the real time and reliability for multimedia transmission in wireless multimedia ad hoc networks. The average end-to-end delay of QoS-MOLSR is four times less than the optimized link state routing.
