Scalable Video Coding for Mobile Broadcasting Systems

David Gomez-Barquero, Kristian Nybom, Dejan Vukobratovic, Vladimir Stankovic, Scalable Video Coding for Mobile Broadcasting Systems. In: IEEE International Conference on Multimedia & Expo, 2010.

Abstract:

H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is an extension to the Advanced Video Coding (AVC)
H.264 standard which provides efficient scalability functionalities on top of the high coding
efficiency of H.264/AVC. SVC allows for temporal, spatial, and quality scalability of the
output video stream, encoding the video information into an H.264/AVC base layer and a
series of enhancement layers which incrementally improve the quality, increase screen
resolution and/or frame rate. SVC is particularly suited for mobile TV reception, since the
received video quality is adaptable to variable reception conditions and heterogeneous
receiver capabilities. However, mobile TV Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) standards such
as DVB-H and DVB-SH were designed prior to the introduction of SVC, and therefore the
underlying transmission protocols are not optimized for scalable video delivery. In this
overview paper, we review recently proposed solutions for SVC stream adaptation on the
underlying DVB-H/SH protocols, and point out novel technical solutions that are currently
under consideration for the next generation mobile broadcasting standard DVB-NGH.
