REDUCTION OF LAYER-DECODING COMPLEXITY BY REORDERING THE TRANSMISSION OF ENHANCEMENT LAYER FRAMES

摘要

The present invention is directed to rearranging the transmission order of the enhancement-layer frames. By making the display and transmission order of the enhancement layer frames identical, a frame memory is not required on the decoder-side to hold the enhancement-layer frame until being displayed since the display can take place immediately after the decoding. Reducing the amount of memory is desirable for mobile applications or other low-power consumption devices.
