Abstract

Multiple description coding is a promising solution for robust video communication over nonprioritized and unpredictable networks. In this paper, we propose a new multiple description coding scheme for the H.264/AVC video coding standard which enables adaptive and robust video transmission in wireless networks. In the proposed MDC, each description has a different prediction loop and contains additional motion information for the frames included in the other description. This additional motion information is used to enhance the reconstructed video quality when only one of the two descriptions is received. Simulation results show that the proposed MDC has a low redundancy and outperforms single description coding (SDC) for video transmission over unpredictable and error-prone networks.
