Abstract
A scalable layered video coding scheme that encodes video data frames into multiple layers, including a base layer of comparatively low quality video and multiple enhancement layers of increasingly higher quality video, adds error resilience to the enhancement layer. Unique resynchronization marks are inserted into the enhancement layer bitstream in headers associated with each video packet, headers associated with each bit plane, and headers associated with each video-of-plane (VOP) segment. Following transmission of the enhancement layer bitstream, the decoder tries to detect errors in the packets. Upon detection, the decoder seeks forward in the bitstream for the next known resynchronization mark. Once this mark is found, the decoder is able to begin decoding the next video packet. With the addition of many resynchronization marks within each frame, the decoder can recover very quickly and with minimal data loss in the event of a packet loss or channel error in the received enhancement layer bitstream. The video coding scheme also facilitates redundant encoding of header information from the higher-level VOP header down into lower level bit plane headers and video packet headers. Header extension codes are added to the bit plane and video packet headers to identify whether the redundant data is included.

Personal media broadcasting system with output buffer

TL;DR: In this article, a personal media broadcasting system enables video distribution over a computer network and allows a user to view and control media sources over the computer network from a remote location, where a personal broadcaster receives an input from one or more types of media sources, digitizes and compresses the content, and streams the compressed media over the network.

Method for effectively implementing a multi-room television system

Neal Margulis
TL;DR: In this article, a method for effectively implementing a multi-room television system includes a digital base station that processes and combines various program sources to produce a processed stream, and a communications processor then responsively transmits the processed stream as a local composite output stream to various wired and wireless display devices for flexible viewing at variable remote locations.

Capacity of a burst-noise channel

TL;DR: The capacity C of the model channel exceeds the capacity C(sym. bin.) of a memoryless symmetric binary channel with the same error probability; however, the difference is slight for some values of h, p, P; then, time-division encoding schemes may be fairly efficient.

Measurement and modelling of the temporal dependence in packet loss

TL;DR: It is found that a large memory size is necessary and that the sliding windowaverage provides a more accurate estimate for the same effective memory size than the exponential smoothing or a sliding window average to estimate average loss rate.
