Low Delay Multiflow Block Interleavers for Real-Time Audio Streaming

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCCN,volume 3420))

Abstract

In spite of the Internet design principle of putting the complexity on the end-to-end entities, this work contributes to demonstrate what benefits can be expected by adding some processing capabilities to the network nodes for the class of interactive audio streaming applications. In particular, we deal with the bursty-error-prone nature of the Internet by proposing and evaluating a new multiflow block interleaver algorithm. After the conducted simulations, we show that our algorithm can efficiently mitigate the negative impact of long bursts. And what it is more, it is achieved by fulfilling the end-to-end audio time constraint requirements.

This work has been partially financed by the Spanish Science and Technology Ministry under Research Project TIC2002-02978 (with 70% of FEDER funds) and Spanish MECD under National Program PNFPU (reference AP2002-3895).
