Survey of Error Correction Mechanisms for Video Streaming over the Internet

Abstract

This overview is targeted at determining state-of-the-art on Error control mechanisms for video streaming over the Internet. The aims of error control mechanisms are to provide and protect the data from errors caused by packet loss due to congestion and link failure. The error control classified into two categories: Error correction coding and Error detection coding. Error control mechanisms for video applications can be classified into four types: forward error correction (FEC), retransmission, error resilience, and error concealment. In this paper, we provide a survey on the existing error control mechanisms. Representative error mechanisms systems. We describe the challenges and solutions of each error control mechanisms. Finally we show the Factors effect in the video quality through transmission over Internet.
