Hybrid ARQ for robust video streaming over wireless LANs

The authors address the problem of transmission of multimedia data over a wireless local area network (LAN). The wireless LAN is modeled as a packet erasure channel. We present a solution that efficiently combines Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding for sending compressed video and audio over a packet network.
