15.3. Error-Resilience Test

Universal access is one of the most important MPEG-4 functionality (see Chapter 1); this functionality refers to the provision of acceptable quality even for error-prone channels such as mobile environments (burst-error environment) or the Internet (packet-loss environment). MPEG-4 video error-resilience tools [MPEG4-2] are the solution for this problem. The error-resilience test performed in June 1998 had the objective of verifying the MPEG-4 capabilities in terms of error resilience under realistic error-prone conditions [N2165, N2604]. It is expected that the error-resilient MPEG-4 video profiles[7] will be used for existing and future wireless and mobile networks (such as GSM, DECT, GPRS, and IMT-2000), with bit ...
