The MPEG-4 standard encodes a video stream in 3 different frames, I, P and B, where the P and B frames depend on the I frame. Loosing an I frame is especially bad. In this paper we exploit the Partial Reliability features of the SCTP transport protocol to selectively retransmit I frames in presence of congestion, obtaining a better quality of the decoded stream.
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.
