Apparatus and method for recovery of quantization codes in a lossy transmission environment

摘要

A system and method for decoding a signal comprising fixed-length data (FL-data) and variable length data (VL-data) is presented. Groups of FL-data (2303) and blocks VL-data (2300) are stored in a predetermined space. Each group of FL-data (2303) corresponds to a block of VL-data (2300). The blocks of VL-data (2300) are retrieved by referencing corresponding groups of FL-data (2303). This system and method permit bidirectional recovery of data. This system is also used in the transmission of video signals over a potentially lossy communications channel.
