Cell-loss concealment techniques for layered video codecs in an ATM network

A layered video coding scheme with its inherent cell loss resilience has been considered as a means for transporting reliably integrated video services over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based network such as the broadband-ISDN. This paper presents some data concealment techniques that can be implemented in the coding of video data at the encoder, in the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) functionality of network realization and at the decoder to improve the performance of a layered codec under different conditions of video packet loss. The performance of these techniques are verified by software simulations.
