We propose a new channel adaptive distributed video coding algorithm, which is adaptive to time-varying available bitrate and packet loss ratio. The proposed method controls the quantization parameter according to channel condition of especially error-prone mobile channel. Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional rate-control-only algorithm.

Applying Distributed Video Coding (DVC) to mobile devices that have limited computation and power resources can be a very challenging problem due to its high-complexity decoding. To address this, this paper proposes a DVC bitstream organizer. The proposed DVC bitstream organizer reduces the complexity associated with repetitive channel decoding and SI generation in a flexible manner. It allows users to choose a means of minimizing the computational complexity of the DVC decoder according to their preferences and the device's resource limitations. An experiment shows that the proposed method increases decoding speeds by up to 25 times.
