Abstract :
We present an effective congestion and error control mechanism for scalable video coding (SVC) extension of the H.264/AVC video dissemination over Internet. The congestion control is used to determine the appropriate number of SVC video layers based on bandwidth inference congestion (BIC) control protocol for layered multicast scenarios and the error control is achieved by unequal forward error correction (FEC) layered protection using block erasure coding. Through the real Internet streaming experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed layered SVC delivery, in terms of subscription layer, average packet loss rate and PSNRs, under several layered-definition scalabilities.
