Abstract
Fading channels, such as mobile wireless channels, are characterized by long burst of packet loss. It usually results in several macroblock lines, a whole frame or even multiple successive frame loss that is difficult to be corrected by conventional error correcting techniques. This paper proposes a robust video coding scheme, which consists of three steps: 1) spatial decimation divides each frame into two similar fields which can be used to correct each other by spatial error concealment, 2) field-level Alternative Multi-hypothesis Motion Compensated Prediction (AMCP) makes the error from even top fields and odd bottom fields decrease and converge to zero quickly and automatically and 3) temporal interleaving is applied to disperse burst error to different frames which further enhances the error concealment capability to up to three successive lost frames. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides superior subjective and objective video quality than conventional schemes in long burst packet loss environment.
