In this paper,we propose an opportunistic decoding method to enhance the reconstruction of unequal erasure protected scalable coded source.This method explores some non-channel-decodable symbols of the received packets by opportunistically utilizing the structure information of joint source-channel coding scheme.As a result,a longer prefix of source coded stream may be obtained to enhance the reconstruction of scalable coded source.Experiment results indicate that opportunistic decoding at the receiver can improve the quality of the reconstructed source when channel decoding fails to recover all the source symbols.
The next generation space internet (NGSI) is based on all-IP-based mobile network that merges land-based network, sea-based network, sky-based network, spacebased network, deep space-based network together using existing assess network technologies. There are high signal propagation delays, high error rate, bandwidth variation and time-variety in NGSI. In order to adapt to various space communication environment constraints and bandwidth variation, we propose a reduced dimension scalable video coding scheme based on CCSDS IDCS algorithm and quality of service (QoS) control method by cross layer design (CLD). The experimental result shows that this new method has better performance than that of existing algorithms, and can be adaptive to the bandwidth variation dynamically.
