Delivery of H264 SVC/MDC streams over wimax and DVB-T networks

Abstract

This paper introduces an approach for the optimal delivery (encapsulation and signalling) of video streams coded using H.264 scalable video coding (SVC) combined with multiple description coding (MDC). The solution presented uses optimization and control strategies depending on the different type of delivered services, the terminals that will consume these services, the load process of the video servers and the network conditions.
