Presented at MMSYS 2013.

Bandwidth constriction and datagram loss are prominent issues that affect the perceived quality of streaming video over wireless networks. The use of layered video coding seems attractive as a means to alleviate these issues, but its adoption has been held back in large part by the inherent priority assigned to the critical lower layers and the consequences for quality that result from their loss. The proposed use of forward error correction (FEC) as a solution only further burdens the bandwidth availability and can negate the perceived benefits of increased stream quality.
