Scalable Video Transmission Using Double Binary Turbo Code

In this paper, we propose a novel efficient scheme for robust video transmission over wireless channels. The schema consists of motion compensated spatio-temporal wavelet decomposition scalable coder and double binary turbo code. The scalable bitstream is adapted with unequal error protection according to the relevance of video layers in the scalable bitstream. Cyclic redundancy check bits are also added to check error free delivery of scalable bitstream. Double binary turbo codes were used for protection since they perform better than classical turbo coders in terms of better convergence for iterative decoding and computational cost. Selected results of experimental evaluation are reported in the paper.
