Multirate delivery of Scalable Video with progressive network codes

The future scenario in video content distribution will rely upon large interconnected systems. Multiple platforms need differentiated services. Scalable Video Coding is the upcoming standard solution for decoding multiple versions of the video from the same bitstream. We propose Network Coding to delivery seamlessly different versions of the video to users with different requirements on the same network. Network coding increases the network rate and provides error control at network level, sensibly improving the overall quality of transmission.
