Several aspects of the coding of video services in an ATM network environment have been studied. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) coding is discussed and the conditions for its effective application are explained. A method for the synchronization of VBR coded video services under the constraints of cell delay jitter is proposed. The role of the input buffer at the decoder side is explained, and the size is calculated for VBR connections. The influence of cell loss on picture quality is discussed and it is explained how cell loss can be concealed using a layered coding model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
