Abstract

This paper demonstrates that growth codes, based on Raptor channel coding, allow incremental protection of H.264 video codec data-partitioned network adaption layer units. When combined with increased protection of video reference frames, in an ADSL erasure channel up to 10 dB in video quality (PSNR) can be gained through this scheme compared to equal error protection with rateless codes. Equivalent gains occur in a wireless channel from combining data-partitioning with error protection. The bitrate overhead from data-partitioning is also shown to be less than from other H.264 error resilient tools.
