Abstract
We present a system for video streaming over Internet from a server to a wireless client. We show that this system is well adapted to the unpredictable and varying nature of Internet and is effective in presence of channel failures caused by the mobile communication. The proposed system uses a superposition of several Multiple Description Coding (MDC) schemes, each with N=2 descriptions, to reach rate scalability and adaptability to varying channel conditions. Each MDC (N=2 descriptions), that we will call base MDC has associated a bit rate and a redundancy. In [1, 2] we show that the base MDC is well suited for transmission over 3G channels and we present results using UMTS simulator.
In the proposed method, multiple descriptions (MD) are generated by the coder and downloaded in the server, leaving to the server the only task to choose sending out the right description at the right time depending of channel conditions (bandwidth and loss rate).
