Abstract
In this paper, we propose a robust And-Or tree-based Luby transform encoded symbol packetization algorithm to minimize the quality degradation of video streaming service caused by packet losses over wireless network. To achieve this goal, the relationship among Luby transform encoded symbols are analyzed by using And-Or tree, and the proposed packetization algorithm is designed to minimize packet loss effects by reducing the dependency among packets conveying Luby transform encoded symbols. Finally, experimental results are provided to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.
