Network coding/ARQ hybrid adaptive error-control scheme for video transmission over wireless network

Video transmission over wireless network has to face many challenges due to varying channel conditions and limited network resources. To achieve reliable transmission as well as high throughput efficiency over lossy wireless channels, a network coding/ARQ hybrid error-control scheme is developed in this paper. Different form the traditional methods, the proposed scheme takes both the reliability and efficiency into account. It allows the adaptation of the coded packets issued from the source to the estimated channel condition. At last, the experimental results show the performance of the error-control scheme.
