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.

In a method for transmitting video for a display panel between a transmitter in electronic communication with a receiver over a wireless communication channel, the method includes: receiving, by a transmitter, a data signal from a data source; receiving, by the transmitter, a return signal from a receiver; encoding, by the transmitter based on the return signal, the data signal utilizing a plurality of encoder blocks to generate a layered encoded data stream, wherein a first encoder block encodes the data signal and each subsequent encoder block encodes a difference between an input of a preceding encoder block and an output of a quantizer of a preceding encoder block; and transmitting, by the transmitter, the layered encoded data stream to the receiver for decoding and display on the display panel.

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.

Optimal resilience to errors in packetized streaming 3-D wireframe animation is achieved by partitioning the stream into layers and applying unequal error correction coding to each layer independently to maintain the same overall bitrate. The unequal error protection scheme for each of the layers combined with error concealment at the receiver achieves graceful degradation of streamed animation at higher packet loss rates than approaches that do not account for subjective parameters such as visual smoothness.
