Abstract

Recent works have shown how Multiple Description Coding (MDC) proves to be an effective solution for the multimedia transmission over Peer-to-Peer and Content Delivery Networks. However, despite the flexibility and scalability of these novel transmission paradigms, packet streams are still affected by losses, and an effective packet labelling that differentiates the QoS levels for the transmitted data is required. The paper presents a Game Theory based approach to classify the MDC coded video packets that are downloaded from a set of terminals spread throughout the network. The proposed approach improves the quality of the reconstructed sequence with limited feedback information from the network.
