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.

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.

A method of transmitting data in a media stream in accordance with a media streaming protocol includes generating data of a first type associated with a first type identifier in accordance with the protocol, encapsulating the generated data in a data structure defined by the protocol, the data structure including a type identifier field for specifying a type of data contained within the data structure, setting the type identifier field to a second type identifier different than the first type identifier, forming a packet comprising the first data structure, and transmitting the packet in the media stream.

A method of transmitting a complex content packet in a broadcasting and communication system is provided. The method includes creating an Forward Error Correction (FEC) source block by using at least one MMT Processing Unit (MPU) included in at least one MPEG Media Transport (MMT) asset, and transmitting the FEC source block, wherein the FEC source block is generated so that a boundary of the at least one MPU and a boundary of the FEC source block do not deviate.

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to video codec aware RAN configuration and unequal error protection coding. An apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory that is configured to cause the apparatus to detect a video coded traffic stream and a video codec profile for encoding the video coded traffic stream, determine an awareness of PDU sets of the video coded traffic stream, align, based on at least the awareness of PDU sets, each PDU set of the video coded traffic stream to PHY transport elements and channel coding element partitions for a video coded traffic aware PHY transport, determine a channel coding rate allocation of the channel coding element partitions based on the video coded traffic aware PHY transport, and apply a FEC coding to the channel coding element partitions based in part on the channel coding rate allocation.
