Using the proposed methodology the generation of multiple descriptions is performed so that drift is eliminated at the decoder regardless of the number of received descriptions. Moreover the proposed framework is flexible in the sense that it allows the encoding of video into an arbitrary number of descriptions. We also present a thorough analysis of rate allocation issues and propose three algorithms for the optimal allocation of redundancy. Experimental results for the transmission of video using two descriptions demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. Copyright 2006 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. All rights reserved. 1. INTRODUCTION Multiple description MD coding 1 2 offers an attractive framework for the transmission of multimedia over heterogeneous networks. In MD coding a source is encoded into multiple independently decodable bitstreams which are mutually refining and equally important. At the decoder side the reconstruction quality is dependent on the number of descriptions that was errorlessly received. Due to its flexibility multiple .
