....to TCP flows. A layered transmission scheme similar to RLM, in which join experiments are replaced by explicit bandwidth estimation at the receivers, using a TCP throughput function, was first proposed by Turletti et al. 74] for audio streaming. A similar protocol was proposed by Tan and Zakhor [71]. A more elaborate protocol was recently proposed by Sisalem and Wolisz [70] where the server dynamically tunes the rate of the layers using feedback received from the clients. These schemes typically use the Real time Transport Protocol (RTP) and its control component called the RTP Control ....

....value, to be added to the transmission, encoding and decoding delays is too high for interactive applications. We have then taken n = 10. The delay induced by the protection mechanism falls to 3 4 frames (130 milliseconds, delay comparable to the delay induced by the hierarchical FEC proposed in [8]) while maintaining a stable video quality (see Fig. 3) Note that, for lower values of n (e.g. n = 10) the granularity for adjusting the raw data rate becomes coarser. This leads the encoder rate control mechanism to reduce the frame rate, in order to obtain the best trade off between ....

....high packet loss. Robustness has been recognized as one of the important factors in recent image and video coding standards [1] Methods proposed so far for robust image video transmission can be broadly classified into two groups. One group consists of the methods for layered transmission, e.g. [2, 3, 4]. Layers are protected either by assigning different priorities (if the network supports this feature) or by assigning different amount of FEC, to different layers. The amount of protection depends on the importance of the layer for the overall image quality. Both approaches, however, have been ....

The idea of using FEC to protect against losses can also be extended to protect video flows [25]. 3.

....an important direction is to combine FEC with retransmission [11] 29] 50] In addition, FEC can be used in layered video multicast so that each client can individually trade o latency for quality based on its requirements. Examples of such an FEC protected multicast include Hierarchical FEC [59] and a receiver driven layered multicast [11] Multiple description coding is a recently proposed mechanism for error resilient encoding. The advantage of MDC is its robustness to loss. The cost of MDC is reduction in compression eciency. Current research e ort gears towards nding a good trade o ....

The scheme does not currently provide for a scalable and accurate approach for measuring the round trip delay at the receivers and does not consider the case of heterogeneous receivers. Bolot et al. 12] and Tan et al. [13] present schemes in which the sender transmits data in layers and the receivers calculate the rate appropriate for them using an analytical TCP model [14] Based on this calculation they join the appropriate number of layers.
