Stereoscopic video transmission using inter-layer FEC and hierarchical QAM over relay channels

Abstract

We consider an inter-layer FEC technique combined with hierarchical 16QAM schemes for stereoscopic video transmission over AWGN relay channels. The proposed system with the suitable hierarchical value (α) can gain about 2.26–6.18 dB in the average PSNR performance, compared with the system using conventional FEC and hierarchical 16QAM schemes.
