Multiple description coding (MDC) is an effective means to combat bursty packet losses in
the Internet and wireless networks. MDC is especially promising for video applications …

Multiple description coding (MDC) is one of the promising solutions for live video delivery
over lossy networks. In this paper, we present a review of MDC techniques based on their …

T multiple descriptions of a vector Gaussian source for individual and central receivers are
investigated. The sum rate of the descriptions with covariance distortion measure …

The multiple description (MD) problem has received considerable attention as a model of
information transmission over unreliable channels. A general framework for designing …

In this monograph, we develop a mathematical framework based on asymptotically good
random structured codes, ie, codes possessing algebraic properties, for network information …

We introduce a new class of multiple description scalar quantizer (MDSQ), which will be
referred to as the modified MDSQ (MMDSQ). The structure of MMDSQ is fundamentally …

A new multiple description coding paradigm is proposed by combining the time-domain
lapped transform, block level source splitting, linear prediction, and prediction residual …

This paper proposes an efficient two-description image coding technique. The two side
descriptions of an image are generated by quincunx subsampling. The decoding from any …

An algorithm is presented for online prediction that allows to track the best expert efficiently
even when the number of experts is exponentially large, provided that the set of experts has …

Multiple description quantization is a signal compression technique for robust networked
multimedia communication. In this paper we consider the problem of optimally quantizing a …
