SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOW-DELAY, INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATION USING MULTIPLE TCP CONNECTIONS AND SCALABLE CODING
摘要
Systems and methods for communication of scaleable-coded audiovisual signals over multiple TCP/IP connections are provided. The sender schedules and prioritizes transmission of individual scalable-coded data packets over the plurality of TCP connections according to their relative importance in the scalable coding structure for signal reconstruction quality and according to receiver feedback. Low-latency packet delivery over the multiple TCP/IP connections is maintained by avoiding transmission or retransmission of packets that are less important for reconstructed media quality.
