Systems, apparatuses, and methods for utilizing different modulation coding schemes (MCSs) for different components of a video stream are disclosed. A system includes a transmitter sending a video stream over a wireless link to a receiver. The transmitter splits the video stream into low, medium, and high quality components, and then the transmitter modulates the different components using different MCS's. For example, the transmitter modulates the low quality component using a lower, robust MCS level to increase the likelihood that this component is received. Also, the medium quality component is modulated using a medium MCS level and the high frequency component is modulated using a higher MCS level. If only the low quality component is received by the receiver, then the receiver reconstructs and displays a low quality video frame from this component, which avoids a glitch in the display of the video stream.

Video data processing method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: encoding, by an encoder side, obtained original video data according to a hierarchical P-frame prediction HPP structure to obtain an HPP bitstream; redundancy-coding the HPP bitstream according to a forward error correction FEC code, redundancy packet quantities in frames in the HPP bitstream progressively decreasing from lower to higher temporal layers to which the frames belong in the HPP structure; and sorting the frames in the redundancy-coded HPP bitstream and sequentially sending the frames in the redundancy-coded HPP bitstream to a decoder side.

Systems and techniques are disclosed for dynamically and automatically selecting an appropriate compression technique and/or compression parameters for digital images in order to reduce or prevent loss of significant information that may negatively impact the utility or usefulness of the digital images. For example, based on various image characteristics associated with a digital image, the system may dynamically compress the image using particular compression techniques and/or by adjusting compression parameters, to maintain significant information of the image. The system may select compression techniques and/or compression parameters based on one or more compression rules, which may be associated with image characteristics, patient characteristics, medical history, etc. Further, the system may, based on the one or more compression rules, compress the image to a maximum degree of compression while maintaining the significant information of the image.

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.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits may be appended to a set of information bits on a per-group basis prior to encoding using an error correcting code. The amount of CRC bits appended to each group of information bits may be based on the priority of the group of information bits. For example, the priority may be based on the type of information conveyed by the group of information bits. For example, for a video stream, information bits conveying low frequency information may have a higher priority than information bits conveying high frequency information, as the low frequency bits may be more important to user perception/experience of the video. The transmitting device and the receiving device may negotiate the CRC configuration (e.g., the CRC bits per-group and the locations of the groups) so that the receiving device can verify the information bits.

A method includes encoding information of at least two short-term reference picture sets into a bitstream; encoding into the bitstream a structure of pictures description with an indication being indicative of which one of the at least two short-term reference picture sets to be used for decoding by a picture in question within the structure of pictures, the structure of pictures including one or more consecutive pictures in decoding order; encoding pictures according to the structure of pictures description into the bitstream.

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.
