A method of transmitting video data from a first entity (10, 40) to a second entity, whereby the video data comprise information bits, the method comprises the steps of: applying a systematic channel encoding on the information bits of the video data and obtaining a sequence comprising encoded information bits and error correction bits (204, 403) of the information bits, the systematic channel encoding being based on a Hamming code, a LDPC code, or a convolutional code; generating a primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401) comprising the encoded information bits of the video data; inserting the error correction bits (204, 403) into a redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) by including, in the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402), said error correction bits having higher error correction power and having smaller size than a copy of the encoded data, instead of inserting a copy of the encoded data; transferring the primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401) and the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) from the first entity (10, 40) to the second entity; receiving the primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401) and the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) at the second entity; using the error correction bits (204, 403) in the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) for detecting and correcting errors in the received primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401); and performing the video decoding of the corrected primary coded picture network abstraction layer resulting in corrected information bits which carry the video data. applying a systematic channel encoding on the information bits of the video data and obtaining a sequence comprising encoded information bits and error correction bits (204, 403) of the information bits, the systematic channel encoding being based on a Hamming code, a LDPC code, or a convolutional code; generating a primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401) comprising the encoded information bits of the video data; inserting the error correction bits (204, 403) into a redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) by including, in the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402), said error correction bits having higher error correction power and having smaller size than a copy of the encoded data, instead of inserting a copy of the encoded data; transferring the primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401) and the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) from the first entity (10, 40) to the second entity; receiving the primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401) and the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) at the second entity; using the error correction bits (204, 403) in the redundant coded picture network abstraction layer (206, 402) for detecting and correcting errors in the received primary coded picture network abstraction layer (205, 401); and performing the video decoding of the corrected primary coded picture network abstraction layer resulting in corrected information bits which carry the video data.
