Yf. Hsu et al., MPEG-2 SPATIAL SCALABLE CODING AND TRANSPORT STREAM ERROR CONCEALMENTFOR SATELLITE TV BROADCASTING USING KA-BAND, IEEE transactions on broadcasting, 44(2), 1998, pp. 233-242
In this paper, an effective MPEG-2 spatial scalable video codec is des
igned, and error concealment technique of associated transport stream
is proposed. The spatial scalability can provide robust error resilien
ce for Ka-band rain attenuation, as well as the co-existence of HDTV a
nd SDTV systems. In MPEG-2, the spatial scalable encoder combines both
spatial and temporal predictions. This paper proposes a near optimal
spatial-temporal weighting analyzer to properly assign cv eights Simul
ation shows that the proposed spatial scalable codec structure outperf
orms the performance of the other MPEG-2 codecs for TV broadcasting in
Ka band using satellites. We also propose a suitable error protection
and concealment method for MPEG-2 transport stream. With the combinat
ion of scalable coding and error protection systems, the proposed syst
em will achieve high link availability.
