Abstract :
The use of FEC coding, possibly in conjuction with ARQ techniques, has emerged as a promising approach for video transport over ATM networks with/without wireless links for cell recovery and/or bit error recovery. Although FEC provides cell loss recovery capabilities it also introduces overhead which can possibly cause more cell losses. A methodology based on information-theoretic limits is described to maximize the number of sources multiplexed by using FEC codes
