Abstract

In this paper we study convolutional codes tailor made for fast decoding over burst erasure channels. This class of streaming codes are suitable for multimedia streaming applications where a stream of source packets must be transmitted in strict delay constraints. We show that in the case of dealing with burst erasure channels it is possible to come up with very simply constructions of encoders of convolutional codes that admit the fastest possible decoding delay to correct all bursts of a given length with a fixed rate. An explicit class of such encoders is presented. The last part of the paper is devoted to treat isolated errors. We propose the use of MDP convolutional codes to recover this kind of losses.
