Summary :

To establish seamless and highly robust content distribution, we proposed the new concept of Inter-Stream Forward Error Correction (FEC), an efficient data recovery method leveraging several video streams. Our previous research showed that Inter-Stream FEC had significant recovery capability compared with the conventional FEC method under ideal modeling conditions and assumptions. In this paper, we design the Inter-Stream FEC architecture in detail with a view to practical application. The functional requirements for practical feasibility are investigated, such as simplicity and flexibility. Further, the investigation clarifies a challenging problem: the increase in processing delay created by the asynchronous arrival of packets. To solve this problem, we propose a pragmatic parity stream construction method. We implement and evaluate experimentally a prototype system with Inter-Stream FEC. The results demonstrate that the proposed system could achieve high recovery performance in our experimental environment.
