Method of and apparatus for video bitstream transmission over packet networks

摘要

The transmission method involves processing a video bitstream using previously agreed-to high priority information to obtain low priority segments. A low priority partition which includes the low priority segments is then transmitted over a network in real time using a packet mechanism with a given probability of success. At the receiver the previously agreed-to high priority information is used to generate high priority segments which are interleaved in real time with the received low priority segments to recreate the video bitstream.
