Real-time error recovery utilizing layered media multicast control (LMMC)

In this paper, we present an optimal solution to the problem of error control in layered and replicated media systems satisfying real-time delay constraints. In doing so, we rely on an a priori estimate of loss along with a hybrid proactive FEC-ARQ scheme to statistically guarantee the quality of service for receivers. Our optimal layered media multicast control (LMMC) solution to a formulation of the error control problem analytically determines the redundancy assignment of individual groups associated with a layered media system minimizing a cost metric defined over wasted bandwidth of redundancy.
