Abstract

Layered (LC) and multiple description coding (MDC) have been proposed as source coding techniques that are robust to channel errors for video transmission. In this paper, we investigate and study the error-resilience capabilities of these two encoding techniques through extensive experimentation, and explore the environments where they perform best. Although some of our conclusions agree with those in the literature, we believe that this paper provides the most comprehensive performance comparison yet between LC and MDC.
