PLACEMENT OF REPAIR PACKETS IN MULTIMEDIA DATA STREAMS

Abstract

In an example, a method for delivering a multimedia data stream includes determining a frequency for generating one or more repair packets and a placement for positioning the one or more repair packets in the multimedia data stream based on a configuration parameter related to the multimedia data stream. The frequency and the placement may be determined based on a priority derived from a multimedia delivery use-case. Further, the method includes generating the one or more repair packets by network coding source packets of the multimedia data stream based on the determined frequency and the placement and transmitting the network coded multimedia data stream with the repair packets to a receiving device.
