“…The sender can attempt to do this by maintaining an estimate of the channel state, i.e., the state of the transmission path from the sender to the receiver, and an estimate model of the perceived quality as a function of the redundancy rate and the channel state. Most of the work in the literature assumes a stationary channel with known parameters and aims at minimizing the mean distortion [2,13,24,29,34,35,44]. A few other works include feedback in the optimization problem, but consider the channel state estimate to be accurate and use it to minimize the mean distortion [1,5,33].…”
