Adaptive packet recovery method based on recovery priority for high quality video streaming service infrastructure

摘要

In this paper, we propose a video data recovery method that exploits multiple streams. The proposed method gives priority to each data of multiple streams in terms of recovery from packet loss, and it is designed for recovering important data with higher probability. The priority of each data is calculated based on both inherent importance in one stream and loss probabilities of multiple streams. Specifically, this method deals with the data of less received streams as the important data. Moreover, the proposed method decides appropriate number of parity packets. This is because the transmission of too many parity packets might affect the other traffic, while that of too few packets might recover insufficient amount of data. The proposed method can improve video quality of total multiple streams. Our simulation results show that the proposed method can recover more important data with higher probability. Furthermore, the proposed method can also achieve almost the same restoration ratio among streams of recovery targets.
