Combined Data Partitioning and FMO in Distortion Modeling for Video Trace Generation with Lossy Network Parameters

The emergence of fourth generation wireless networks poses great challenges in video transport. Two of these prominent challenges are: a) providing and maintaining visually acceptable video quality given variations in channel conditions and b) the accurate measurement of this quality in network simulators using standard verbose trace flies. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose and analyze an end-to-end (E2E) model for mean packet loss probability of H.264/AVC-based data partitioning (DP) substreams. The model we´re presenting is based on the extended Gilbert model. We then incorporate the parametric formulation in our proposed base layer trace format that records E2E distortion coefficients for DP streams on a per slice level.
