Abstract

For the purpose of a flexible coded video transmission over a heterogeneous network, we propose a new packetization method for coded video data. The proposed method achieves small degradation of coded picture quality in case of packet discard at the network node and does not require heavy processing load for bitrate control operation. Computer simulation results show that the bitrate reduction from 384 kb/s to 192 kb/s does not cause severe degradation in picture quality.
