Abstract:
1. A computer-readable medium having thereon computer-executable instructions for performing a method comprising decoding at least a portion of a distortion-prioritized data sequence from at least one of a plurality of layers of multiple description coding, the plurality of layers of multiple description coding comprising: a first layer of multiple description coding, the first layer of multiple description coding comprising: an initial part of the distortion-prioritized data sequence; and forward error correction code for the initial part of the distortion-prioritized data sequence; and a second layer of multiple description coding, the second layer of multiple description coding comprising: a next part of the distortion-prioritized data sequence; and forward error correction code for the next part of the distortion-prioritized data sequence; wherein the second layer of multiple description coding further comprises forward error correction code for the initial part of the distortion-prioritized data sequence.
