Multirate multicast is an effective method for video distribution to a set of heterogeneous
receivers. We present a comprehensive survey on multirate video multicast over the best …

Multiple description coding (MDC) is one of the promising solutions for live video delivery
over lossy networks. In this paper, we present a review of MDC techniques based on their …

Multiple description coding (MDC) is an effective means to combat bursty packet losses in
the Internet and wireless networks. MDC is especially promising for video applications …

Research efforts on 3DTV technology have been strengthened worldwide recently, covering
the whole media processing chain from capture to display. Different 3DTV systems rely on …

Enabling video transport over ad hoc networks is more challenging than over other wireless
networks. The wireless links in an ad hoc network are highly error prone and can go down …

We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of Popcorn, a media delivery
system that hides clients' consumption (even from the content distributor). Popcorn relies on …

In this paper, we examine the performance of specific implementations of multiple
description coding and of layered coding for video streaming over error-prone packet …

This paper examines the effectiveness of combining multiple description coding (MDC) and
multiple path transport (MPT) for video and image transmission in a multihop mobile radio …

Real-time multimedia transport has stringent quality of service requirements, which are
generally not supported by current network architectures. In emerging mobile ad hoc …

We consider transmitting a source across a pair of independent, nonergodic channels with
random states (eg, slow-fading channels) so as to minimize the average distortion. The …
