The application discloses video data redundancy control methods and apparatuses. Video packet redundancy control information is determined according to packet loss at a reception apparatus. The video packet redundancy control information is received from the reception apparatus. Video data is encoded according to the video packet redundancy control information to obtain encoded video data of a plurality of frames by a transmission apparatus. A frame-level redundancy budget is allocated for one of the plurality of frames according to the video packet redundancy control information. Further, the one of the plurality of frames is packetized according to the frame-level redundancy budget to generate a packetized frame. Redundancy coding is performed on the packetized frame to generate video packets including data packets and redundant packets for transmission to the reception apparatus.

Decoder retrieval timing information, ROI information and tile identification information are conveyed within a video data stream at a level which allows for an easy access by network entities such as MANEs or decoder. In order to reach such a level, information of such types are conveyed within a video data stream by way of packets interspersed into packets of access units of a video data stream. In accordance with an embodiment, the interspersed packets are of a removable packet type, i.e. the removal of these interspersed packets maintains the decoder's ability to completely recover the video content conveyed via the video data stream.

Technology is described for reducing display update time for a near-eye display (NED) device. A point of focus in the NED field of view is identified, often based on natural user input data. A communication module of a computer system communicatively coupled to the NED device transmits lossless priority data, an example of which is user focal region image data, using one or more communication techniques for satisfying lossless transmission criteria. Allowed loss image data is identified based at least in part on its distance vector from a point of focus in the display field of view. An example of allowed loss image data is image data to be displayed outside the user focal region. The allowed loss image data is transmitted and extracted from received image data allowing for lossy transmission.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for video codec aware RAN configuration and unequal error protection coding. An apparatus includes a processor that detects a video coded traffic stream and a video codec specification used to encode the video coded traffic stream, determines an awareness of video coded traffic application data units (ADUs) of the video coded traffic stream as video coded network abstraction layer (NAL) units of data, aligns the video coded NAL units of the video coded traffic stream to physical layer (PHY) transport elements and subsequent channel coding element partitions for a video coded traffic aware PHY transport, determines a channel coding rate allocation of the channel coding element partitions, and applies a forward error correction (FEC) coding given at least the determined channel coding rate allocation of the video coded traffic aware PHY transport to channel coding element partitions for protection against radio transmission errors.
