FEEDBACK BASED REFERENCE FRAME SELECTION FOR VIDEO CODING

摘要

An encoder allocates index numbers to portions of a video signal transmitted over a network to a decoder. At least some of the portions are stored in an encoder buffer. Feedback is received from the network at a remote control block, indicating whether the transmitted portions are correctly received. Based on the feedback, the control block determines a subset of the portions stored in the buffer. The control block transmits a message to the encoder, identifying the subset using the index numbers allocated to the portions in the subset. In response, the encoder uses the index numbers to identify and retrieve at least one portion of the subset of portions from the buffer, the retrieved portion is used to encode subsequent portions of the signal.
